54
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:28.959
Gagy MPUD. We'll start with the project overview. So the applicant is proposing a comprehensive plan amendment to change the future land use classification um from res 9 residential nine dwelling unit per gross acre to rest 24

55
00:16:28.959 --> 00:16:44.320
residential 24 dwelling unit per gross acre to allow for the development of a maximum 300 multifamily dwelling units on approximately 15.267 267 acres which is a portion of approximately of an

56
00:16:44.320 --> 00:17:00.079
approximately 18.3 18.634 acre parcel. The subject site is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of US highway 301 or gold boulevard and chansy road. There is a

57
00:17:00.079 --> 00:17:15.919
companion reszoning application in the name of Gagy Robert H. Trust Gagy MPUD which will be presented to you right after my presentation. >> Okay, >> this is a map showing the general location of the subject site. So the

58
00:17:15.919 --> 00:17:38.919
subject site is generally located in the east market area. And this is an aerial showing the exact location of the subject site on the southeast corner of the intersection of G Boulevard and Chansia Road.

59
00:17:41.919 --> 00:17:59.760
This is a context map that um provides the surrounding context of the subject site. As you can see, the surrounding area includes a mix of residential neighborhoods as well as commercial corridors. The city of Zephr Hills lies immediately to the east as highlighted

60
00:17:59.760 --> 00:18:18.039
in purple. And um overall the subject site is within an active area of growth um with strong connectivity to transportation routes and adjacent residential, commercial and

61
00:18:19.280 --> 00:18:40.799
okay it was jumping. Okay, there you go. As I was saying, the subject site is an active growth area with strong connectivity to transportation roads and adjacent residential and commercial uses. This slide shows that the subject site

62
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:59.559
is within the airport approach surface area. this Zephr Hills airport and this one is showing the airport influence area. The red star is our subject site

63
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:22.480
and this map is showing both the Zephr Hills airport influence area and the airports the airport approach surface area overlay district. So while the subject site is not directly within the most restrictive runway protection zone,

64
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:41.840
it still remains within the brother airport vicinity. Uh meaning that land use and height restrictions are applicable as established in the land development code. This is a map showing the existing future land use as res 9

65
00:19:41.840 --> 00:20:04.960
and also comm is to the north of the subject site and res 9 is in the southern portion. And this is another map showing the proposed future land use. Res 24. As you notice on this map, the

66
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:25.039
portion comm or commercial is staying or remaining as is. We're not it's not part of this proposed um future land use amendment. These are the policies that the proposed the comprehensive plan policies that the

67
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:49.760
proposed amendment is consistent with. And with that, the planning development economic growth recommends the local planning agency to find the proposed amendment consistent with the comprehensive plan and recommend approval to the board of county commissioners.

68
00:20:49.760 --> 00:21:13.480
And I'm available to answer any questions you may have. >> Okay, any questions? Apparently not. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right. Is the applicant present?

69
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:43.200
Thank you, Shelley Johnson. 6400 Madison Street and I have been sworn. Um, we do have our team here today to answer any questions or concerns that come up. I just wanted to give you a little bit of background on this property, a little history. I'm I'm sure the staff will will share it with you as well, but this actually was um known as the Rucks MPD.

70
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:58.880
I don't know if any of you remember it from 2004. Um uh we did it a RX West MPD and a RX East MPUD um in the city of Zephr Hill. So this thing has been around forever. Um it ultimately became the Cobblestone MPD. And when it was the

71
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:14.720
cobblestone MPD, the parcel that we're amending right now today or or trying to amend actually had um a commercial uh component to it or entitlement to it. It was called parcel A and it had 170,000 square ft of commercial on it along with

72
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:32.159
a C2 specific use for a a grocery store um with a minimum size of 100,000 square ft. So there was a pretty significant amount of commercial development that was supposed to go on this parcel. Um ultimately the light that was supposed to go at the corner of Chansy and G Boulevard got moved south by do FDOT um

73
00:22:32.159 --> 00:22:51.679
which kind of changed the the dynamics of the situation. So we are here to answer any questions um address any concerns. So, >> okay. Are there any questions uh from up here? >> Okay. So, um [clears throat] who who do we have signed up?

74
00:22:51.679 --> 00:23:10.635
>> Mr. Chair, the individual that we had signed up for this item was signed up for both item eight and nine. Would you like to hear the presentation for the MPD? >> Let's just hear the item for eight and nine. You already did eight, so let's hear nine. >> [clears throat]

75
00:23:12.159 --> 00:23:28.880
>> Good afternoon, planning commission members. Kurt Cyverson of Planning, Development, and Economic Growth. I hope you enjoyed your coffee. I'm too old to have caffeine afternoon. >> You're so late. [snorts] [laughter] >> And just remember that.

76
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:48.880
>> This is the Gagnam PUD agenda item PD 267832. So this is a resoning request from an MPUD master plan unit development district to an MPD master plan unit development district. The s entitlement is a maximum development of 30 multif

77
00:23:48.880 --> 00:24:07.360
family apartment units and 30,000 ft of commercial. This is in the east market area within commissioner Oakley's district. Here's the site within the county. This is a location of

78
00:24:07.360 --> 00:24:26.760
the subject site at the southeast corner of G Boulevard and Chansy Road. As I said, the current zoning is an expired NPU zoning district which necessitates new zoning action.

79
00:24:27.679 --> 00:24:43.679
As heard before, the residential element has a companion comprehensive plan use amendment from res 9 to res 24 which would enable the sought entitlement of 20 units approximately 20 units per acre

80
00:24:43.679 --> 00:25:03.039
and the commercial uses are utilizing the existing comm flu designation on the corner. Here's our context map. The site lies approximately 1.5 miles south of the Zephr Hills Municipal Airport. The

81
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:20.600
applicant has met the criteria of land development code section 605 that requires permissible land uses, a maximum building height, and a hold harmless agreement, all of which have been incorporated within the conditions of approval.

82
00:25:21.679 --> 00:25:39.120
Here's our MPU master plan. The shaded areas are right-of-way conveyance on G Boulevard boulevard to FDOT and Crystal Springs Road. Development of the Gagy MPUD includes a developer obligation to improve Crystal Springs Road from their

83
00:25:39.120 --> 00:25:54.240
southern boundary continuing where the Cobblestone MPU has improved Crystal Springs Road to the terminus of Chanse Road. The arrows indicate vehicular and pedestrian access points of the commercial and the residential elements

84
00:25:54.240 --> 00:26:14.080
of the project. Here is our binding concept plan. This illustrates the building orientation of the residential element. Here, the multif family buildings shield the parking from passerby traffic of G

85
00:26:14.080 --> 00:26:32.080
Boulevard, Crystal Springs Road, and they frame Stony Woods Drive, which houses existing residences as part of the Cobblestone MPUD. The commercial element is at in the corner there in red. They propose C1

86
00:26:32.080 --> 00:26:50.640
neighborhood commercial uses. They are requesting one gas station and in the event a gas station is sought by the developer, we have design standards incorporated within the conditions of approval. PTE recommends approval to the board of

87
00:26:50.640 --> 00:27:06.000
county commissioners of the proposed zoning amendment request with conditions. I'm available should you have any questions. >> All right. Any questions? Nothing. All right. Is the applicant present again? Shel, do you want to say anything?

88
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:21.760

93
00:28:36.399 --> 00:28:53.120
These proposals will directly also directly affect groundwater, destroy wetlands, rem tree tree removal, and add extensive imperous services. The changes will contribute directly to increased flooding

94
00:28:53.120 --> 00:29:08.320
uh north of this area all the way into Zephr Hills by alert by altering the natural flow of the Hillsboro River. during the hurricane once in a every hundred years they have one but for months they brought water from

95
00:29:08.320 --> 00:29:24.880
uh Zephr Hills and dumped it into these parcels where you want to develop them all of a sudden. Uh they dumped thousands and thousands of gallons of water for months. They were hauling 8,000 gallons of water in a truck, 20 trucks. It was a mess.

96
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:41.760
uh any of this land, Crystal Spring Roads, um all that water was released to go to the river. Uh a lot of areas in Zephr Hills are already flooding. Uh we don't need uh them to bring in hundreds

97
00:29:41.760 --> 00:29:58.240
of loads of top soil to get all these places elevated so they can build on them. Uh it's it's too much right now until Zephr Hills figures out how to get the wa the groundwater

98
00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:13.919
to the Hillsboro River. You're you're you're getting way ahead of the game here. I you know I don't want to bring up the flooding. It's old old news to most people. But um it's important that once you start

99
00:30:13.919 --> 00:30:29.919
raising and building up these pads, that water's got to go someplace. And none of the ditches are prepared for this water to move. It's it's terrible that the Pasco County has given building permits

100
00:30:29.919 --> 00:30:47.279
out to everybody and doesn't have any concern for the small people. I'm in neighborhood of 30 trailers and we're we're we're always flooded now because everybody's raised their land up around our neighborhood. Uh, I know you guys got a lot of other

101
00:30:47.279 --> 00:31:04.159
things on your mind, but I've been in Florida for 20 years now. My family's been here since the 60s. Vote no, please. >> Thank you very much. Is there anything last things you wanted to say?

102
00:31:04.159 --> 00:31:19.279
Anything else? >> No, I just uh kind of said I'm trying to get my commissioner to do something. >> You have to speak into the microphone. I'm sorry. I've been trying to get my county commissioner to do something and help me out and um I've made a few trips to his

103
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:36.880
office and he's pretty busy. So, I I I've gone through the county and now Swift mud. So, I'm I'm just upset that we're going to try and block the the ground flow of water going to the Hillsboro River when Zephr Hills can't

104
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:52.640
take care of it now. So, please vote no. until we get some kind of uh ability to take care of the water. I mean, anybody saw all that water flooding over on Elen Boulevard should know better than than approve anything

105
00:31:52.640 --> 00:32:08.559
until they get some some way for the groundwater to move. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you for your time. >> Okay, there was nobody else on the list. >> Correct, Mr. Chair. >> Okay. Is there anybody [clears throat] that wanted to speak that hasn't spoken on

106
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:25.519
this particular item? not on the list. Please come forward. >> Good afternoon. Um 35920 Praise Police Unit 102, Zephr Hills, Florida. I have sworn Michaela Krauss. >> Thank you.

107
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:42.880
>> Um this is in my town and to have spoken with my friends and family that live in the town from Milton that had to get replaced. >> Mhm. you know, they lost their home to flooding

108
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:58.399
and it's I don't know where you guys live, but this place floods really bad. and these numbers and these maps, great, but I want to know how many pounds of, you know, dirt they're going to be

109
00:32:58.399 --> 00:33:15.360
bringing in, raising this land up because you should let the lowlying neighborhoods that have been there for a long time, hey, you guys might want to move or evacuate because it's bad. It's it's scary. And I really hope you think

110
00:33:15.360 --> 00:33:33.960
about these poor souls and lives that aren't here today and don't know about this and won't know about it until something catastrophic happens. >> So I really hope you consider the president. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. Appreciate that.

111
00:33:37.679 --> 00:33:54.320
>> Yes. I'm Cliff Moffett. I live in Crystal Springs. My main concern is the roads. The traffic is horrendous. >> If you look, [clears throat] this was an accident I witnessed on Chansy Road >> with a bicyclist. The >> It's Did you Did you get to see that? Yes. I I did witness it. I did take a

112
00:33:54.320 --> 00:34:09.599
picture of it. >> You got to speak to the So, I did witness this gentleman getting hit on a bicycle because of traffic in the lights. There is no lights. There is no stop. Everybody's just crazy. And this is going to force more and more people onto Ch onto uh Crystal Springs Road.

113
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:24.960
They're going to have to go out on the Chansy Road, which is the most dangerous road you can try to get out on. There is no turn lanes. There's no lights. There's no nothing. There's not even a roundabout. >> Okay. >> So, my main concern, plus they had taken away, we had a fire department and they

114
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:40.960
took it away two years ago. They said because there is no growth in Crystal Springs. They says there is no growth going your way. So, you do not rank a fire department. So, they moved it. >> But look, it is now. Now, Crystal Springs, the whole road's going crazy. >> And yes, the locals are going to get

115
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:56.159
flooded out. [clears throat] So, that is my main concern is the traffic and the dangerous situation like this young man got hit today on a bicycle. >> Okay. Yeah. We're going to have the applicant back up and they'll see if they can answer some of those questions.

116
00:34:56.159 --> 00:35:13.119
I think we all want to know the answers to those. So, anybody else? If not, would the applicant like to come back up and address some of those concerns? >> Thank you. Again, Shelley Johnson, 6400 Madison Street, and I have been sworn um

117
00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:29.599
to address there was a storm water question. This particular property has been considered part of um the and we have an agreement that we're working on. It's not going to get recorded until after we're through this process, but we're going to have a shared storm water palm with MI in the Cobblestone MPD.

118
00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:45.760
It's their pond 4. Um, and there's already been calculations and everything to consider this particular development as proposed. >> Can we put some pictures up so somebody can see something >> to address it? >> So they can know what we're talking about. >> I think it's just the storm water

119
00:35:45.760 --> 00:36:15.990
question and that the storm water is actually going to cobblestone um with >> Yeah, but we need to show people that on the map. >> Sure. >> You'll see it. It's a pond that's on the south side on the aerial. I think they've already it's already under construction. >> [snorts]

120
00:36:27.200 --> 00:36:51.040
>> Somebody going to bring up the map. >> There you go. >> If you see there's a storm water pond. have a pointer. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> You guys want me to Is it working? >> It's working.

121
00:36:51.040 --> 00:37:06.640
>> I don't know if everybody can see it, but >> So, if you see this, there's a access road. You can see it on the north side of this aerial. It's called Stonywood uh road that is going to be built by MI. That's going to be a shared access road for this property and um the the

122
00:37:06.640 --> 00:37:21.920
development part of the cobblestone development to the south. Oh, thank you. What were you hitting? >> Oh, I'm sorry. Thank you. Um there you go. This is the pond. It's called pond 4. Um and so that's going to be a shared

123
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:38.480
storm water pond um with this particular property that we're dealing with to the north. Um again, it was part of the cobblestone and the rocks mud. It was all kind of playing together long term. So, >> so that big round area there, it's a wetland area, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. And so what you're doing is you're

124
00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:55.680
adding extra space for water to drain into. >> Yes. The design of that storm water pond. >> I think those are the things we need to explain to people because >> right now they got the impression that you're just going to come in there and build on that thing and water's going to go everywhere. So I think they need to

125
00:37:55.680 --> 00:38:10.240
understand what you're going to do there. >> Yeah, definitely. No, that's definitely not what's going to occur. is going to obviously comply with all of the codes and uh swift mud permitting and everything, but that has been kind of the long-term plan is that that's going to be the storm water pond for this northern parcel, which was known as

126
00:38:10.240 --> 00:38:27.280
parcel A before um it was out of the cobblestone MPD. As far as roads, I think roads was the second question that we had gotten. Um and that really there's a lot of road improvements and pedestrian improvements that are going to be going on around this property. Um I don't know if can you move this down a

127
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:43.119
little bit or maybe another area I could show it a little better. >> If you can pull it down a little bit >> just a little. There you go. So if you look at um the road. So this is Crystal Springs Boulevard. >> So this development is going to be a improving that road from its southern

128
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:59.920
boundary all the way to Chansy Road. Um 80 foot typical um improvement width improvement. It's going to actually match [clears throat] what Cobblestone is doing to the south of this property. So, how many lanes is that going to be? >> Um, I think it's two lanes. I don't know if it includes a multi-use path or and a

129
00:38:59.920 --> 00:39:15.520
sidewalk. So, it should include a multi-use path and a 5-ft sidewalk as well. Um, on Chansy Road, what you what they're going to build because FDOT is fourlaning this road at some point. There's likewise um both pedestrian, you

130
00:39:15.520 --> 00:39:31.599
know, multi-use and and pedestrian um improvements. So they're they're suggesting doing a multi-use on the west side, a sidewalk on the east side. So this improvement here will then that we're doing on Chansy will then tie into that corner there and those pedestrian improvements. So

131
00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:46.800
>> would you explain to everybody what a multi-use path is? >> So a multi-use path is is wider than a sidewalk. Um and it'll allow bikers, you know, other uses along along the way. Um so you're going to have a lot of really nice pedestrian improvements around this

132
00:39:46.800 --> 00:40:01.839
property. Um you're going to have some nice road improvements around this property. Um you'll have that new road going in on on the south side. Um you have nice buffering. Um but uh so you know it should be a very nice development and there's going to be a lot of nice things coming along with it. So for that area

133
00:40:01.839 --> 00:40:16.560
>> so you have a multi-use path on the one side and sidewalk in the other side. >> Yeah. So you're going to have a multi-use path and a sidewalk on Crystal Springs Boulevard. You'll have a sidewalk on Chanse, at least for the property boundaries that we're

134
00:40:16.560 --> 00:40:33.440
addressing, um, out to G Boulevard and 301. And then FDOT has a planned improvement to fourlane 301. They're going to do a multi-use path on the west side and they're going to do a sidewalk on the east side. So, it'll actually be surrounded by sidewalks and multi-use

135
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:48.880
path. So, >> and when is that going to happen? Do you know? >> Um, I don't know. I don't know that it's been funded um or it's scheduled. I just know that it's it's planned that at some point they're going to forlane that road. Um we're going to have access out to Crystal Springs Road and then

136
00:40:48.880 --> 00:41:09.119
obviously down to the southern road to Stonywood Road that uh MI is building. So and then eventually G Boulevard when >> So is there anybody here from transportation that can speak to the improvements? >> William, good afternoon. William

137
00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:26.160
Vermillion Planning and Development. FDOT is done with the design, but they do not yet have construction funding for 301. >> For 301. >> Yes, sir. >> That's the red road. >> Yes, sir. And a part of the that construction funding is also getting

138
00:41:26.160 --> 00:41:41.839
right away. So, what this project is doing is getting the amount right amount of rideway from Center Line to match what Cobblestone dedicated to the south. >> And who's who's responsible for for for Crystal Springs Road? Crystal Springs Road is the project before you today. They'll be matching the typical section

139
00:41:41.839 --> 00:41:56.640
that was built further south with a 12-oot path on the west side and a 5-ft sidewalk on the east side as well as the responsibility of constructing a 10-ft multi-use path on the south side of Chanse Road. >> So, William, I don't think you're telling the complete story though. Where

140
00:41:56.640 --> 00:42:12.640
is that road on the NOS's priority list? the the exact number on the NPO's LRTP. I believe it's at the at the top of the of the LRTP. It's just a it's a funding issue with FDOT that they're

141
00:42:12.640 --> 00:42:30.599
working through right now. >> So, you estimate when would you estimate? >> I I could I couldn't give you an estimate unfort >> usually when a road is is at the top of the NPO's priority list.

142
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:53.200
>> [clears throat] >> Okay. Anything else? Will you want to add? >> Uh I guess just just for some further color. Um as a part of the timing and phasing application, we have the applicant provide their percentage of project trips on the road. And so this project, you're looking anywhere between

143
00:42:53.200 --> 00:43:11.040
1 and 3% of the overall capacity of the area. So they're they're not responsible for any any existing failures or mitigation that would be required for improvements to 301. Okay. [clears throat] Anybody on the board here like to speak

144
00:43:11.040 --> 00:44:06.160
to the water issue or anybody from the county? >> I checked. There are more flood planes >> with mud's map. However, they're not. Okay. All right. Does the applicant have anything else to add?

145
00:44:06.160 --> 00:44:27.520
Okay. And everybody spoken on this one. >> Yes, sir. >> All right. So, what's the pleasure of the board? >> Recommend approval. >> So, we have a motion to recommend

146
00:44:27.520 --> 00:44:46.160
approval of PC8 and PC9. >> Do I have a second? >> You take them up individually. >> Okay. Take them individually. We have a motion on PC8, right, John? And do we have a second? >> Second.

147
00:44:46.160 --> 00:45:04.240
>> Any further discussion of that motion? If not, all in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> Opposed like sign. >> Okay. And do we have anything on PC9? >> PC9. >> Do we have a second on that one?

148
00:45:04.240 --> 00:45:20.160
>> I'll second again. >> Okay. Any further discussion on PC9? All in favor signify by saying I. I >> opposed like sign. >> All right, motion carries on eight and nine. And I hope everybody has a little more

149
00:45:20.160 --> 00:45:37.040
information than before. The next item on the agenda is item PC11. Um, actually before we get to item PC1, I did want to make a note that item PC10, there were walk-ons that were submitted to the clerk's office earlier this week.

150
00:45:37.040 --> 00:45:56.319
>> Um, item PC11 had a it's >> being PC1. approved as consent. >> PC10 was approved on consent earlier in the meeting. >> Yeah. >> Item PC11. This item was pulled. It's PTE 262115.

151
00:45:56.319 --> 00:46:12.720
It's a variance request in the name of Donald and Angelique Barlo Kursley for a request to reduce the rear yard setback from 50 feet to 17 feet in an AC agricultural district as required by LDC section 503.8. 8.C located in North

152
00:46:12.720 --> 00:46:39.680
Pasco County on Trilby Road approximately.3 miles north of the intersection of Trilby Road and Blandon Road containing approximately 10.6 acres to be presented by staff. >> Okay. [clears throat] Good afternoon. and Amy Tol with

153
00:46:39.680 --> 00:46:53.920
planning development and economic growth. Item before you today is PTE26-2115 in the name of Trilby Road variance. The variance is a request to reduce the

154
00:46:53.920 --> 00:47:10.079
rear yard setback in an AC agricultural district from 50 feet to 17 feet. So the petition number is VA-2115. It is a zoning variance. The current zoning district, as previously [clears throat] noted, is AC

155
00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:25.119
agricultural. Future land use is AG agricultural. The purpose is to reduce the required rear yard setback in the AC agricultural district from 50 ft to 17 ft. And the location is at 320005 Troy

156
00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:40.640
Road, which is approximately.3 miles uh north of Blandon Road. Here's a visual of the subject site. It is within the North Market area and northeast Pasco rural area or rural area 1.

157
00:47:40.640 --> 00:48:03.160
Here's a context map showing the subject site in proximity to Blandon Road. Your close-up aerial view. The subject sites future land use of AG, the zoning of AC agricultural

158
00:48:03.200 --> 00:48:19.599
Here's the property survey map that shows the barn and the single family which is has been converted into a single family dwelling. I'll go into the findings of fact of that. So the subject site just project overview consists of agricultural

159
00:48:19.599 --> 00:48:35.119
pursuits a barn that was converted into a single family dwelling another barn and an additional structure. The subject site is unplatted on 10.16 acres. So in 2001 there was an unfinished detached

160
00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:50.079
barn that was built because the subject site is zoned agricultural. So it was for agricultural activities. The barn was considered an accessory structure to the primary use of agriculture um which is permitted as a principal

161
00:48:50.079 --> 00:49:08.319
use. In November of 2016, the previous property owner built the barn um in addition to a two stall garage addition. Eventually, they were converted into the single family dwelling that's in request today. On March 31st, 2023, the

162
00:49:08.319 --> 00:49:23.119
applicant actually purchased the property um after these uh changes were made and they purchased the property under the presumption that it was a residence. So, on October 30th in 2025, the applicant received a citation

163
00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:39.359
warning for the unpermitted structure which resulted in this variance request. And with that, we actually uh recommend approval of the proposed variance with conditions that's set forth in the recommended conditions section below. >> Okay.

164
00:49:39.359 --> 00:50:22.319
>> Sure. Which slide would you like? that that one that's >> okay >> garage edition >> uh I don't know the answer to that But I could probably find that out fairly quickly. >> Sure. >> Okay. Anything else? Thank you, Amy.

165
00:50:22.319 --> 00:50:39.359
Think you can find that out today? Okay. All right. [clears throat] The applicant present. Okay. You want to come forward or is there anybody here to object? >> Mr. Chair, I did have one individual

166
00:50:39.359 --> 00:50:57.520

Williamses. Um, Evelyn, I forget his name, but they actually lived >> in the barn that was there. They may have added on to it since, >> right? >> But they lived in that dwelling itself. >> Mhm.

170
00:51:48.640 --> 00:52:05.119
>> And had a contractor come in and put a little kitchen, little bathroom, so on so forth. >> But that's the only thing I can add other than why they'd be made an issue now. I I just didn't understand that.

171
00:52:05.119 --> 00:52:24.091
>> Okay. >> I don't think so. >> No, I think >> they should be able to stay. They're wonderful people. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. [clears throat] You can take over the pie later. [laughter]

to AR agricultural residential. The proposal is a resoning amendment. Uh the current future or current zoning is AR agriculture residential district with conditions. It was conditioned back in 2006. Uh the change is to remove those

178
00:54:10.559 --> 00:54:27.040
conditions to allow for a further splitting of their subject site. The future land use is res 3 residential three dwelling units per gross acre. and a they are seeking this change to subdivide the parcel into three lots with a dwelling unit on each lot in

179
00:54:27.040 --> 00:54:43.920
conformance with the AR agricultural residential district standards for development. It is located on the southwest side of US Highway 98 approximately 300 ft of Townson Road. Here's a location map showing the general proximity in the East Market

180
00:54:43.920 --> 00:55:00.240
area. Here's an aerial view of the subject site. Uh so the subject site is part of the resoning that occurred and actually falls along this entire

181
00:55:00.240 --> 00:55:18.960
triangle area. So the conditions of the resoning apply on this whole area, not just the subject site itself. Here's a context map showing the area and proximity to the city limits. The future land use is res 3 residential

182
00:55:18.960 --> 00:55:36.720
three dwelling units per gross acre and the zoning is AR agricultural residential. Uh this boundary survey is to show that the subject site of the resoning um I'll go into the conditions for this. What

183
00:55:36.720 --> 00:55:53.920
ended up occurring in 2006 is that they were deed restrict restricted to a certain number of units on this entire triangular piece. They were permitted 14 acres, excuse me. 14 acres on the west side. Give me give it back. 14 acres on

184
00:55:53.920 --> 00:56:09.520
the west side. This can get six units. 10 acres on the east side can achieve four units for a total of 10 units in this area. So the subject site actually I'll just go through the I think it's better for

185
00:56:09.520 --> 00:56:24.319
me just to explain it to you. So the subject site is one of four current parcels. So as you can see here it's one of four parcels. This area

186
00:56:24.319 --> 00:56:41.359
is currently restricted to four units. Two of these four parcels have a are constructed with one residential unit. Therefore, there are two units left available for this area per the conditions in the deed restriction. The

187
00:56:41.359 --> 00:56:57.520
challenge that staff PTE has with this and so I'll go through some of the conditions and then we'll can go into a deeper conversation. These are just some of the findings of facts to show that it's currently having a mobile home on the three acres. um that three acres is

188
00:56:57.520 --> 00:57:13.119
what they want to split into three one acre lots. Um what will end up happening, they want to remove the cap so they can construct their homes. Um what will end up happening, staff is proceeding with the recommendation of denial, which is why I'm going a little

189
00:57:13.119 --> 00:57:30.079
bit out of order. Staff's recommendation of denial on this is not necessarily because we don't disagree with what they want to do. Unfortunately, as a result of these deed restrictions that occurred or conditions that occurred on the

190
00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:46.880
resoning of the total 24 acres, if we were to remove the conditions for this one subject site, those limitations, the density limitations would still apply. So inadvertently if we were enabling them to remove these restrictions and

191
00:57:46.880 --> 00:58:03.760
split their lot into three lots to get two more units that would take away the units from the other people who are still currently under this limit limited restriction. Unfortunately during the review process we attempted to contact the property owners in this entire area.

192
00:58:03.760 --> 00:58:20.880
Applicant also attempted to contact the property owners in this entire area. They are under an LLC that is no longer active. So unfortunately we are not unable to get in touch with them to try to bring them into this potential resoning. So because of those facts and the potential inadvertent

193
00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:36.080
issue that would be resulting of this proposed resoning staff is recommending denial of the propose. Do you have any questions for me? >> Um what do you have a solution for us?

194
00:58:36.080 --> 00:58:53.520
[laughter] Uh it's it is it is up to the the planning commission board's discretion as to how we would proceed with this. >> Res three, >> correct? Yeah. >> So [clears throat] basically they're

195
00:58:53.520 --> 00:59:11.119
asking for one additional unit. >> Um originally they were asking for to split the lot into two or three lots. So it's currently one lot. they would have to do a subdivision plan to get three lots total. We have um worked with them

196
00:59:11.119 --> 00:59:27.040
currently. They have brought that down to keeping the existing home that is there um adding coming in for an ADU so the mother can have her residence and give her son the mobile home and then

197
00:59:27.040 --> 00:59:44.319
split it so she can give the other half to her other son who wants to construct a home. Okay. So, [clears throat] okay. >> Is the applicant present, by the way?

198
00:59:44.319 --> 01:00:08.000
>> Okay. >> There's both. >> Oh, there is both. >> There's both. >> Okay. >> Yeah. The zoning was from 2006 and back then they were conditioning [clears throat] those zonings. >> But there is a deed restrict. >> There's also a deed restriction.

199
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:30.720
>> The county if if this were the county. >> So you talking about the zoning condition or the >> either one? Yes. Both of them would have to be But we can only get rid of both of them.

200
01:00:30.720 --> 01:00:46.880
They're both binding at this point. >> But we can only speak to the deed, I mean to the zoning. But to answer the chairman's question, the only solution I can think of that doesn't negatively impact the other property owners that are subject to that

201
01:00:46.880 --> 01:01:03.200
restriction would be if that if that property owner is not going to come in and also reszone county initiated reszoning of the of all of the the lot. >> Yeah. And unfortunately, we just don't

202
01:01:03.200 --> 01:01:20.040
have the authority due to do that at this time since we can't get in touch with the surrounding property owners. >> County initiated you would as a county initiated resoning >> based on direction.

203
01:01:20.400 --> 01:01:36.640
>> Okay. And who who >> that's not what's before you today is >> correct. >> You don't have a county initiative present before you today. >> So if if I don't see any reason not to try to help if we can. So, um I don't know how

204
01:01:36.640 --> 01:01:54.640
the board feels, but if there's a way to do it, maybe we ought to specify how how that could be done and then we can vote one way or the other. >> Yeah. Could you walk through that? It's kind of confusing. Could you walk through that once more just so we're

205
01:01:54.640 --> 01:02:12.480
crystal clear on it? >> Sure. So in 2006 there was a resoning that conditioned this entire triangle area. >> Um at that point in time it was split into the two lots that you see here. >> And in that um resoning the western side

206
01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:29.200
was granted was limited to six lots on 14 acres and the eastern side was limited to um four lots on the 14 acres in the conditions. Let's just be fair. the math isn't mathing because they're saying there's a total of 14 units. So

207
01:02:29.200 --> 01:02:46.319
that the six plus 4 is 10 units, but that's just we'll just say it's a scrier's error on that side. Um so basically we'll go to this one. So that was 2006 delineation and in

208
01:02:46.319 --> 01:03:02.799
2018 this was split off. This is a parent parcel. It still remained the same. And then in 2021, I believe um these two were created. And out of those four lots, there are two

209
01:03:02.799 --> 01:03:19.039
constructed homes and two vacant lots. So there are essentially two units, two two homes still available to utilize in this space. Um, if we were to allow them to do that currently, it would almost

210
01:03:19.039 --> 01:03:38.039
treat it as like a first come first- serve basis and inadvertently restrict the other two vacant parcels if we keep it as is. >> But there is a unit on the on the >> on their on the subject as currently. Yes. >> So they can be grandfathered.

211
01:03:42.640 --> 01:04:03.200
I understand problem if it's a deed restriction restriction, >> but it's it's a zoning condition and this applicant is not seeking to lift the zoning condition their neighbors property.

212
01:04:03.200 --> 01:04:19.599
>> Yeah. >> If they were, we wouldn't be in this situation. >> So, what's a what do you recommend as a solution? I think that's why Amy said if they had come in with their neighbors together as a team

213
01:04:19.599 --> 01:04:37.280
>> to lift this restriction >> we wouldn't be here. >> Yeah. So the fear is penalizing the dealer. >> Otherwise like David had mentioned >> this is the applicant. So let me see what she questions she might have. Don't go far Amy. >> My name is Rosa Alivera. My husband

214
01:04:37.280 --> 01:04:53.520
Olivera. Um, so in that corner lot where she said that there was a parent lot, they um sold the home. They abandoned it. Um, they sold it to someone that apparently was wanting to do like commercial.

215
01:04:53.520 --> 01:05:09.119
Um, so that house is empty, stripped. There's nobody living there. Um, >> is that the mobile home? >> Um, no. It's a a block home. >> Yeah, it's on that on that pink triangle. >> Yeah, on the other triangle on the other

216
01:05:09.119 --> 01:05:32.079
on the other triangle. >> So, there is no one to be found. Even the letters that I sent out to let them know that there was going to be a public hearing, they all have returned back to me.

217
01:05:32.079 --> 01:05:48.160
return to sender. I have all four letters that were addressed that was um provided by >> um >> Amy County. >> So, no one to be found. Um, the last that I heard, my husband had spoken to

218
01:05:48.160 --> 01:06:04.799
the person that bought I guess the 14 acres >> where the county would take the action >> and uh apparently he [snorts] is a Canadian that purchased that in in um >> what he wanted to do was basically make

219
01:06:04.799 --> 01:06:21.839
like commercial and or um residential and and make money. Well, it seems like one possible solution is for the if we can u if somebody want to make a motion that we do a county initiated resoning for the

220
01:06:21.839 --> 01:06:41.520
entire property so that everybody would be treated fairly. Um it would be either the four lots that are limited to the Well, yeah, I guess it's up to you, David. Correct me if I'm wrong. It could either be the four lots

221
01:06:41.520 --> 01:07:00.960
that are limited to the four units or the entire thing that's limited to the 10 units, >> the big piece and the other four. >> It's really that's really a planning question because I planning commission doesn't feel there's

222
01:07:00.960 --> 01:07:15.760
any basis for the original restriction at all then makes sense to just lift it on the entire thing. I mean At a minimum, you would need to lift it on the four lots because that's what's causing the problem. But if you don't

223
01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:33.039
feel like it makes sense on the other side either, you could just have the entire friction lifted. >> Yeah. Well, I think it would be it would make sense at a minimum to

224
01:07:33.039 --> 01:07:51.280
to make a motion to do a county initiated reszoning on at least the four lots. >> I mean, I will say that again a planning issue, not a legal issue, but the character of this particular

225
01:07:51.280 --> 01:08:08.000
location probably has changed slightly because of surrounding area. I mean, it looks like there's been some pretty substantial road improvements in this area. >> It's already has the roundabout in front >> since since it was originally back when

226
01:08:08.000 --> 01:08:24.520
this restriction was imposed. So, I'm not sure that the density limitation, it was originally imposed necessarily still makes sense. >> Mhm. >> That's again, that's a planning issue, not a we'll have to decide. But

227
01:08:25.600 --> 01:08:41.600
>> they may make some sense if you're going to lift the restrictions and just lift it on the entire thing. >> I don't know if you're me. It doesn't make sense if you're going to lift it on the four lots to keep it on the other six, but >> yeah, I agree.

228
01:08:41.600 --> 01:08:59.159
>> Kind of similarly situated. They're at the same intersection. >> Okay. And if you look right next door, there's some project that looks like it has quite a pretty high density. I don't know what that is.

229
01:09:00.239 --> 01:09:30.400
>> And disappeared again. Now there >> Amy, what is that project to the west? That's >> all right. Well, Park. >> This is a recommendation of >> heard if there's opposition. I guess opposition would be you wanted

230
01:09:30.400 --> 01:09:45.520
>> we're just talking about what right now we're just talking about solutions but um >> I believe that staff is recommending denial because of primarily because of the impact on the vacant land owners

231
01:09:45.520 --> 01:10:08.400
>> right impact >> may I speak >> yes you should be hearing if there's anybody else in here >> yes Sorry. Um, I brought something that, you know, to read over because get nervous. >> You want to make sure you use it. >> Uh, so good afternoon

232
01:10:08.400 --> 01:10:25.360
to um I didn't know if I was going to be in front of a judge. So, your honor, commissioners, chairman, leaders, because I don't, this is obviously my first time. Uh, we have been residents of Pasco County, Date City since 1980s.

233
01:10:25.360 --> 01:10:42.480
Um, our petition is to remove all restrictions and allow us Jorge and Rose Aliveras to uh divide the property into three parcels. Our American dream is to be able to pass on inheritance to our two sons, Fabian and Caleb Aliveras, and

234
01:10:42.480 --> 01:11:00.000
the generations to come. By allowing for three parcels, we'll allow them to build homes adjacent to our home. Each parcel will have at least a minimum of one acre. We have lived previously in a neighborhood of at in Wesley Chapel,

235
01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:17.440
4312 Huddlestone Drive, where there was HOA restrictions and had to sell our what we thought was our forever home because of restrictions. Unable to park on our driveway, company, truck, etc. because it was restricted by the HOA. We

236
01:11:17.440 --> 01:11:33.600
purchased land in Date City in hopes of getting away from restrictions on our property. We have endured two and a half since March, two years of this uh to resone this parcel and have the capability to divide it into three

237
01:11:33.600 --> 01:11:50.960
portions and have spent thousands and when I say thousands, I'm not kidding. It's been about 50 to 40 to 50k in this process. Uh we are not asking to build apartments, complexes, neighborhoods or trailer parks that make profit. Uh we

238
01:11:50.960 --> 01:12:07.440
just want to live our American dream and pass generational wealth to our sons. This vision was started by my father, Jorge Reyes, may he rest in peace, who just passed in March. Um, my siblings, Jorge Reyes, Diana

239
01:12:07.440 --> 01:12:25.600
Wickfall, and my mother, uh, Ida Reyes, live down the road on 98. Uh, my mom's address is, uh, 10217 [clears throat] US Highway 98, Date City. It's my parents in the middle, my brother, and

240
01:12:25.600 --> 01:12:41.120
my sister on each side. So it will be his in in his honor for this to know that his little girl has been able to fulfill this dream to have all his family nearby. >> Okay, >> that's all I have to say.

241
01:12:41.120 --> 01:13:04.719
>> That's great. Thank you very much. Was there anybody else here to speak on this? >> Can you come back, ma'am? >> He does that to everybody. question. >> Have you spoken with the Department of Transportation?

242
01:13:04.719 --> 01:13:20.640
>> DOT has been involved in in this. >> Okay. >> Yeah, they're already approved and everything. We had to go like when I said we had to go through a lot. We have gone through a lot for the past two years. >> If

243
01:13:20.640 --> 01:13:39.120
if the county opted to resing over all of these affected properties. Talked about two different options you had. One was splitting the lot once and building it.

244
01:13:39.120 --> 01:13:55.679
>> Correct. >> Selling the other lot to a sibling, >> my oldest son, Fabian. >> And then the other option is dividing the lot into three parcels. the current mobile home that we're

245
01:13:55.679 --> 01:14:14.239
living in. Um, and the reason why we put a mobile home was because we obviously didn't want to tie up the rest of the property. >> Had I asked you if you've spoken? >> Yes. >> You of this? >> They're going to give us one um

246
01:14:14.239 --> 01:14:29.520
driveway. >> Yes. They they're aware and they know >> there's a issue. >> Yeah. If you make this three qualifies as something called a common plan of development and you will be

247
01:14:29.520 --> 01:14:47.760
subject to water. >> Yeah. >> After you're done meeting them, you won't have any property left or much property left to build your house. >> Yeah. So they >> So I liked Amy's first suggestion of simply splitting the lot and building

248
01:14:47.760 --> 01:15:08.080
the ADU. I'm just letting you know, I don't know if you spoken to an engineer or somebody, but if you >> cut this into three lots, you may open up a very expensive boondoggle that you're not anticipating.

249
01:15:08.080 --> 01:15:25.440
>> So, we um have an engineer. she wasn't able to come and be present. But as far as what the planning was um by DOT, there was not going to be a requirement for what you're saying. There was going to be

250
01:15:25.440 --> 01:15:40.320
>> DOT is not swift mud. >> Yeah. >> Saying you do this into three lots, >> you will trigger those regulations. You will also trigger our county's subdivision regulations, >> which

251
01:15:40.320 --> 01:15:58.000
we are willing to just split it in two and do like a sub au. >> Yes, that would be the simplest. So initially when we went when we purchased the land the property

252
01:15:58.000 --> 01:16:18.400
we had gone to um to here to the courthouse well across >> um and and found out that we were able to split the property at that time but then it basically came to this that they

253
01:16:18.400 --> 01:16:37.520
were we were told incorrectly that we were not able to split the land too. >> All right. So, yeah, I think what John saying is probably the simplest solution is the ADU that that route.

254
01:16:37.520 --> 01:16:53.600
>> Yes. >> Would that be you would you find that helpful? >> Just want to make sure you understand where chairman I just want to make sure that you don't

255
01:16:53.600 --> 01:17:16.560
accidentally trip yourself up. >> Okay. So, there's nobody else here to speak on this. Amy, you have anything else to add? Any comments? >> Amy, if you come back up to the podium. So, explain to me why

256
01:17:16.560 --> 01:17:39.840
county did not initiate a resoning. Um just because it's basically we need the property owners to give us the authority to do those changes unless the board gives us that direction. >> What do you planning commission recommend? So what

257
01:17:39.840 --> 01:17:56.080
do you need? Uh we can either convert this into a county initiated and bring in the rest of the parcels or we can leave this standalone with the direction of bringing the remaining parcels in at a

258
01:17:56.080 --> 01:18:13.679
during a county initiated. >> County initiative resoning requires different types of notice. So you can just convert thisoning to a county initiative resoning. Then the question would be whether or

259
01:18:13.679 --> 01:18:30.239
not we proceed with this as is um with the assumption of what the recommendation would be and or we pause it and come back next month with the staff initiated

260
01:18:30.239 --> 01:18:47.760
with everything. And I'm not sure, David, you could probably help with this, if it's up to the planning commission to make that decision >> or if it's up to the board to make that decision. >> Staff has initiated resonings, plan amendments before.

261
01:18:47.760 --> 01:19:02.800
>> Yeah, plan amendments are a little different. We they're not subject to that level of approval from the property owners. We're with >> Oh, so you're referring to the rule that says that you 75% of the property owners

262
01:19:02.800 --> 01:19:18.960
unless the board >> um I'm not aware of that. No, I was just under the presumption that zoning matters. If you are doing a reszoning or changing any zoning, it is required to have the property owners authority to do that.

263
01:19:18.960 --> 01:19:36.239
It's not true for board initiative, but let me just >> Yeah, I think this the I'm not going to speak for everybody on the board at the moment, but I think the whole idea is to try to solve this problem without creating any more expense

264
01:19:36.239 --> 01:19:52.960
um for this applicant, >> of course, >> and there must be a way that we can do that. And >> initiated Well, I there is there was a there is a rule that

265
01:19:52.960 --> 01:20:36.640
I thought that Amy was referring to. Oh, who can applications? Now, one thought, um, hate to say another deed restriction, but since this is resoning to agriculture, there is a required deed

266
01:20:36.640 --> 01:20:53.239
restriction for the live local, perhaps we can condition it to allow them to continue moving forward with a condition in the deed restriction that says this isn't effective until the county initiates the remaining is an option.

267
01:21:03.280 --> 01:21:20.920
Not sure how that gets that really gets them any gonna have to wait till >> it would just delay their time of >> and delay the time until they can do anything anyway. >> Yeah. >> How that really helps them. >> Um recommend approval on the

268
01:21:23.040 --> 01:21:40.239
Right. Something along those lines >> recommend >> approval of the current proposed resoning with the condition. >> I mean, you could you could approve it, but I mean, the downside is that that person basically lost their development rights until the county initiates

269
01:21:40.239 --> 01:22:07.280
something. condition. >> No, we can't. >> Right. >> That's why the deed restriction is like your little band-aid to do that. >> I'm not so worried about the property, the people we can't find. Evidently,

270
01:22:07.280 --> 01:22:31.920
they're not that interested. >> Yeah. They came in for an MPD a few years ago, but it died out. I think it was called Mayfield or Mayflower. >> It would >> and we can guarantee that comes fairly swiftly after this. The county

271
01:22:31.920 --> 01:22:55.120
initiated. So ask the engineers on the board, does that trigger the problem of dividing it into three if the county initiates it? Well, if the county initiated reszoning and we didn't

272
01:22:55.120 --> 01:23:11.120
have restriction problems by virtue of dividing it into three lots, you would trigger our sub the county subdivision regulations >> going to be called under the

273
01:23:11.120 --> 01:23:27.120
swift mud rules and do rules called a common plan of development which going to be treated like a subdivision which means you'll have one entrance, you're going to have to meet all of their access and drainage

274
01:23:27.120 --> 01:23:44.400
criteria. Whereas, if they make simple lot split, so that this only becomes two lots, then they are exempt from our county subdivision regulations. They will be exempt from swift mud regulations and they will be treated as

275
01:23:44.400 --> 01:23:58.880
single family residences for purposes of driveways by the DOT. They also have the option for an MRS in this scenario. >> Sorry. >> They also have the option for a minor rule subdivision. >> This was res 3.

276
01:23:58.880 --> 01:24:16.320
>> Oh yes, thank you. It is res 3. However, in 2024, uh the development review, Brad, at that point in time authorized them to do a variance, >> a variance against the code so they can do a minor role subdivision in a res

277
01:24:16.320 --> 01:24:31.760
three. authorized that >> Brad Tippen. He's no longer with us. >> So I would say that that would be a fresh determination for today. >> Okay. So I found the code provision I was referring to

278
01:24:31.760 --> 01:24:48.480
a what it says is that Uklitian zoning amendments can be initiated initiated by the board of county commissioners petition of owners of 75% or more of the area involved or the property owner. So

279
01:24:48.480 --> 01:25:04.320
staff would either have to get they obviously can't get the property owner. They either have to get 75% or more of the area involved. So they could either get I don't know if they could they were able to get the other

280
01:25:04.320 --> 01:25:21.440
>> three lots >> mobile home >> the other group of lots potentially affected. >> Yeah. Do we have how is area being defined? Is there a certain >> say 75% of the area involved? >> Okay. So >> I don't know if if you include the other

281
01:25:21.440 --> 01:25:37.040
how many lots of is it six lots or the other six? >> Um it's restricted to six but it's only one lot right now. >> Are you talking about the >> Have you talked to that owner? >> They they're all owned by the same LLC and they're getting >> Oh, it's all the same owner. >> Correct. >> Okay.

282
01:25:37.040 --> 01:25:52.560
>> So unfortunately we can't get in touch with them >> where the board does it. >> Then it would be the board. So the board could initiate for the whole thing. Um but the board has initiated

283
01:25:52.560 --> 01:26:10.000
the board is I'm sure if the staff asked the board to do it in this circumstance the board >> and instead of a denial we could adjust our recommendation to seek the board's authority to execute it >> initiated but then would that trigger

284
01:26:10.000 --> 01:26:38.719
those extra cost for the >> for the county? Well, for them >> for them >> it would just be a holding period for the most part. >> He would still come back to the PC for a recommendation. Yes, >> correct. >> So I guess in theory have to

285
01:26:38.719 --> 01:26:57.560
>> take action on this. There's a there's an application before you that you have to act on. You have to either >> agree with staff's recommendation of denial, continue it or approve or go against that recommendation.

286
01:27:05.920 --> 01:27:20.800
No board could still initiate because it's a different application, >> but there's no negative consequence for the applicant for us to deny this. >> No, because the the initiation would be a different application. It would be on the entire area.

287
01:27:20.800 --> 01:27:47.440
>> We can adjust our recommend >> that is an option too. You could discontin If we continue the item, would we have to bring this specifically to the board for approval? >> It doesn't get past. >> I mean, one advantage of continuing it

288
01:27:47.440 --> 01:28:03.520
would be that if for some reason the board fails to initiate something, >> they're still alive, >> then you have the option of moving this forward. Sounds like >> perhaps we adjust our recommendation to

289
01:28:03.520 --> 01:28:44.000
seek the board's approval for a staff initiated reszoning on the specific parcels. >> Correct. It would be an incomand that it does get approved. board initiated reasoning of the other

290
01:28:44.000 --> 01:29:01.520
ones. >> Perhaps the recommendation can do both. So the recommendation would be to approve this and then ask the board to authorize of companion reasonzoning.

291
01:29:01.520 --> 01:29:17.520
>> Correct. Something along those lines. >> We don't want to delay them any longer than we have to. >> We don't want them to have to pay more money. So, >> was that your motion, Matt? >> Be clear. A board initiated resoning would not require them to pay more money because it would be board initiated. >> Okay.

292
01:29:17.520 --> 01:29:34.239
>> But, um, but I get your point. >> Well, when I say initiate paying more money, I'm talking about John's comments about the subdivision. and so forth. So they really only divide it into two and have >> I think John's comments are sort of

293
01:29:34.239 --> 01:29:50.239
unrelated to the resoning. >> Right. Correct. >> Comments more have more to do with how many lots they'd elect to >> after it's reszoned. >> After it's resonant to caution the lady. >> Okay. >> I think so.

294
01:29:50.239 --> 01:30:08.080
>> I can [laughter] please restate that. >> Yeah. Can we state the motion >> and help me out if the >> help you out? [laughter] The motion is to recommend approval of the resoning to the board >> with

295
01:30:08.080 --> 01:30:25.840
>> subject to >> the board initiating a zoning of the additional parcels. >> Move the remove the con the restriction. Still. >> Okay, we have a motion in a second. Any

296
01:30:25.840 --> 01:30:44.400
further discussion on the motion? >> If not, all in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> I. >> Closed like sign. Okay. Here we go. >> Take a break.

297
01:30:44.400 --> 01:31:26.480
>> Yeah. Going to take about a fivem minute recess, please. >> [laughter and cough] >> So my dad's brother was coming down Pennsylvania, right? He came down

298
01:31:26.480 --> 01:31:47.480
on a Mediterranean cruise. So, he was supposed to supposed to leave like six o' just flew back from all depart at 6:00 today. His flight's already delayed.

299
01:31:48.159 --> 01:32:57.199
Now he's sitting in the airport. >> Why didn't he come up with that earlier? >> I was trying [laughter] I'm a civil >> civil. >> Yep. Yeah. He does a lot of his work is mostly site development work, that sort of stuff. And then I do my main focus is

300
01:32:57.199 --> 01:35:29.679
water and wastewater treatment and stuff. So I work for a larger firm that does water and wastewater treatment. Nice. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Well, well, well. It's

301

303
01:36:31.600 --> 01:36:47.600
>> I think my guess is over the next 5 to 10 years, we're going to learn a lot about how all that connects more on a broader network. Like we'll look at appointment >> and I think >> time >> it's going to allow us permitting >> an evaluation on a greater scale instead

304
01:36:47.600 --> 01:37:15.000
of saying okay we're looking at this project and it's closed we're good >> it's going to be this it's going to give us one more bathroom break so I'm one of these Okay. >> Thank you. And here's your pen.

305
01:37:22.960 --> 01:37:43.800
>> Yeah. >> I think a lot of it is Yeah, >> you look at the flood plane. You got the female flood plane. You got the swift mud flood plane. They're different. [clears throat] >> We're learning more about what they're actually

307
01:38:59.840 --> 01:39:30.000
that they maintain the existing magnitude and direction of flow. They're not allowed to change the direction. No, I don't. >> She's better looking than me. >> You're always complaining about blocking

310
01:41:45.280 --> 01:42:56.800
here for two rivers interviewing people? >> No. Okay. >> Talk about the Please take your seats. Please take your seats. >> [clears throat] >> Good afternoon.

311
01:42:56.800 --> 01:43:17.840
Good afternoon. Robert Robert Irving, Planning Development, Economic Growth. >> Yeah, it sounded like the microphone wasn't working. >> Hello. There we go. >> There we go. >> All right. So, the next item is a comprehensive plan amendment. It's item P13.

312
01:43:17.840 --> 01:43:36.719
It's CPA 2407 CPAL, Two Rivers, providing for a comprehensive plan text amendment. The sub area policy flu 7.1.11 Two Rivers PD. And this is file number PTE 260437. Right. As I just mentioned, this is a proposed comprehensive plan text

313
01:43:36.719 --> 01:43:53.600
amendment to the policy flu 7.1.112 Rivers PD to allow for an increase in residential dwelling units and non-residential entitlements on approximately 3,45 acres. And this is located on the north and

314
01:43:53.600 --> 01:44:10.080
south side of State Road 56 spanning from Morris Bridge Road to Gal Boulevard. And there's the accompanying subary policy policy flu 7.11 Rivers PD. And there is a companion reszoning which will be heard after this. Here's the county location. You can see

315
01:44:10.080 --> 01:44:29.440
it in the southeast corner there. The subject property is [cough] in the south market area and the urban concentration area. Here's the overall boundary showing the two rivers PD. And here's a context map. I'm going to start from west and go east. So to the

316
01:44:29.440 --> 01:44:45.520
west of the Two Rivers boundary is the River Landing MPU which is which is approved for a maximum development of 1,999 single family detached or attached dwelling units, 250,000 square ft of commercial retail uses and 150,000

317
01:44:45.520 --> 01:45:00.880
square feet of office. Now just running through the vision roads and collector roads you'll see first there's Morris Bridge Road a county arterial roadway and then there's two rivers boulevard collector roadway coulson avenue also a collector roadway

318
01:45:00.880 --> 01:45:16.639
and then there's state road 56 and fdot arterial roadway and then to the north you'll see loggerass boulevard and coats road which are also collective roadways and [snorts] then there's G Boulevard boulevard US 301 and then just east of

319
01:45:16.639 --> 01:45:33.679
the two river subjects site is the 301 East MPUD which was approved for the maximum development of 200 town home units and 36,000 square ft of commercial uses. So this slide right here shows the maximum levels of development. So I will

320
01:45:33.679 --> 01:45:49.440
note that there has been non-substantial modifications that have occurred on the MPUD side which the sub area policy allows for and have changed the entitlements. So part of this is to clean up the entitlements to be consistent with the non-substantial

321
01:45:49.440 --> 01:46:05.520
modifications that have occurred and also to incorporate the proposal today. So part of the proposal today is the removal of the age restricted residential dwelling units. So there's 209 currently remaining and out of those 133 would count as trip neutral towards

322
01:46:05.520 --> 01:46:20.239
the overall increase in multifamily units and then there's an additional 767 multif family units proposed that are non-trip neutral. The applicant also proposed to add 300 assist assisted living facility beds,

323
01:46:20.239 --> 01:46:41.679
480 hotel rooms, and 705,000 square ft of retail and a water park not to exceed 35 acres. Sorry. Go back. One thing I just want to note as well, the original sub area policy

324
01:46:41.679 --> 01:46:56.719
that was approved in 2008 allowed for a maximum of 6,400 dwelling units, equating to a gross density of 1.87. The proposal today for 6,547 dwelling units equates to a gross density of 1.92.

325
01:46:56.719 --> 01:47:14.159
It's a 0 05 increase proposed and the proposed amendment is consistent with the following comprehensive plan policies. Section flu A6 PD plan development policy flu 7.1.11 Two Rivers

326
01:47:14.159 --> 01:47:29.679
PD policy flu 8.1.2 South Market Area Establishment policy flu 1.8.7 economic development policy flu 1.8.10 10 preservation of capacity for employment generating uses

327
01:47:29.679 --> 01:47:46.800
policy HSG 1.1.2 [clears throat] comprehensive plan amendments policy ED 1.7.2 promote tourism expansion and this comes to you with a recommendation that you find the proposed amendment consistent with the comprehensive plan and recommend approval to the board of county commissioners. I'm available if you have

328
01:47:46.800 --> 01:48:02.800
any questions. >> Can you go back over the density again? >> Mhm. What was that? What was that? Can you go back over the density number? >> Yeah, and I think honestly in the MPUD presentation, it'll be a little clearer because I'll have it shown,

329
01:48:02.800 --> 01:48:17.679
>> but additionally, the density is going to be a little bit different because due to the last non-subs, there's actually an overall decrease of the current approval of the overall units since they exchanged a lot of the units, but it's relatively close. But the density that I

330
01:48:17.679 --> 01:48:35.119
have was 1.87 87 as the existing approved today and the this is from a gross standpoint and the proposal is a 1.92. >> Okay. I think you just answered my question. >> It's just from the gross perspective. >> That's on the gross acres. So that's

331
01:48:35.119 --> 01:48:50.719
including the areas allocated for retail, industrial, water parks, hotels. >> Correct. And that's because multif family. What would the density be if it were just based on the residential portion of the PD? >> Um, I can pull that up at the end.

332
01:48:50.719 --> 01:49:14.880
>> Okay. >> Yeah. I think a reason why also that it was calculated on the overall is because majority of the mixeduse parcels also can accommodate for a residential component. So there is I will say yes the school the park should be removed

333
01:49:14.880 --> 01:49:31.639
from the overall calculation to get you that that answer but beyond that predominantly all of the parcels allow for a residential component which will be clarified in the MPU presentation. >> Okay.

334
01:49:34.000 --> 01:49:57.199
>> Okay. Any other questions? No. All right. The applicant president, >> Mr. Chairman, Clark Hobby, Hobby and Hobby, PA, uh, 109 North Brush Street, Tampa, Florida. I've been sworn. Uh, we're going to make a joint

335
01:49:57.199 --> 01:50:33.360
presentation. So, I was hoping staff might make the MPUD presentation, then I can follow that. >> Okay. Thank you. So, this is the Two Rivers MPU substantial modification. This is item PTE 267856.

336
01:50:33.360 --> 01:50:50.400
Here's the county location again, which I'm sure we're familiar with at this point. And the proposal again is a substantial modification to the Two Rivers MPU master plan unit development to allow for the maximum development of 4,047 single family detached units, 2500

337
01:50:50.400 --> 01:51:08.560
multif family units, 1,335,000 ft of office target industry, 1,335,000 ft of industrial, 1,335,000 ft of retail, 300 beds for an assisted living facility, 480 hotel rooms, and a

338
01:51:08.560 --> 01:51:26.719
35 5acre recreational water park on approximately 3,45 acres. So again, here's the location map. The key thing that's showing here is this is to date predominantly parcels that haven't been developed in the overall Two Rivers development since a lot of

339
01:51:26.719 --> 01:51:46.000
this has been built. Again, this is just reflecting the existing zoning of MPUD. So here's the existing master plan. Now a couple things I want to note here is you'll see in the northeast corner the two river school site that was contemplated originally and the county

340
01:51:46.000 --> 01:52:03.360
park. And the reason why I mentioned this is only portions of both of these sites was originally acquired. So there's leftover pieces that the applicant proposes to develop with mixeduse development. Another thing I want to point out is you'll see in the northeast corner as

341
01:52:03.360 --> 01:52:20.000
well along the south side of state road 56 there's mixeduse parcel K which is also proposed to be expanded and you'll see that depicted in the next slide here. So here's the proposed master plan today. So again, you'll see now the remaining piece of the Two River School

342
01:52:20.000 --> 01:52:35.040
site. On the southern piece is the mixeduse parcel C. And then you'll see just east of the county park parcel, you'll see mixeduse parcel M. And you'll also see on the south side of State Road 56 that

343
01:52:35.040 --> 01:52:52.880
mixeduse parcel K is now expanded out. So as I go through the entitlements too as well for clarification, multif family entitlements can be the following product types. apartments, two family, triplex, quadruplex, condominiums, town homes, villas, and live work units.

344
01:52:52.880 --> 01:53:09.679
And so PD and the applicant work together on this proposal. And of the proposed additional 900 multif family units, only 240 may be apartments and must be located on mixeduse parcel M or industrial office commercial parcel

345
01:53:09.679 --> 01:53:25.560
C. So I think I can. So, another thing to point out too, which is big with this, if you see the blue circle up there, that's the proposed conceptual location of that 35 acre recreational water park.

346
01:53:30.480 --> 01:53:47.960
Now, here's the connectivity plan as well. And on the connectivity plan, you'll see a blue and a purple outline on many of these collector roadways. So, [snorts] there is a 12-oot paved multi-use path running along State Road 56, Coloulston Avenue

347
01:53:48.400 --> 01:54:05.360
to get this to work. Holston Avenue, Two Rivers Boulevard, Lodgegrass Boulevard, and Coats Road. Now, also at here, let's see if I can get this to work. There we go. So right here also there's an enhanced pedestrian safe

348
01:54:05.360 --> 01:54:20.960
crossing to go from Lodgrass Boulevard across State Road 56, which will provide a safer access for people accessing the county park and the Two River School site. Um, and then in the bottom, it's kind of hard to see on this plan, but there's a

349
01:54:20.960 --> 01:54:37.679
20 foot path. It's called the Tiko Trail. Kind of runs along the southern portion of the subject site. It's not to be improved. It's to be natural. And on the southernmost extent of the subject site, you'll see the continued connectivity into the Hillsboro County side of the Two Rivers development with

350
01:54:37.679 --> 01:54:53.599
a 12T multi-use path as well along the rightway. So, another thing that I want to mention is for the multifamily apartments component of this proposal, PTE worked with the applicant to provide enhanced design standards to provide for better

351
01:54:53.599 --> 01:55:10.400
building orientation, parking orientation, landscaping, walking, walkability, and connectivity. And as part of that, we had a updated alternative type two typical section for local roadways. So you'll see two 11oot travel lanes, an 8ft landscaped area,

352
01:55:10.400 --> 01:55:30.639
and then two 10-ft paths on either side. So here's just the overall walkthrough of the current entitlements to date versus what is proposed. And here's again where you will see the density calculation at the bottom. But as I mentioned, it didn't subtract out

353
01:55:30.639 --> 01:55:51.440
those areas. My colleague is working on that. The applicant is requesting the following variation from the code LDC section 805.6 restrictions on post-development wetlands and upland buffers within residential lots and non-residential parcels. The applicant

354
01:55:51.440 --> 01:56:08.000
requests to seek relief from the requirement to form a mandatory association or CDD to own and manage open space, drainage areas, common areas, landscape areas, wetland areas, buffers areas, or other special purpose areas when within a multif family parcel or under a single ownership for any industrial office or commercial retail

355
01:56:08.000 --> 01:56:29.440
sites and PTE is amanable to the requested variation. And this comes to you with a recommendation of approval to the board of county commissioners of the proposed zoning amendment request with conditions. Robert, any questions? No. All right.

356
01:56:29.440 --> 01:56:46.400
President. Yep. [clears throat] Mr. Chairman, Clark again. I'm going to have to put channel 28's mic down here because I won't be able to operate up here. Okay. Thank you for putting that up there, Patty. Uh before I get started

357
01:56:46.400 --> 01:57:03.520
on our uh PowerPoint, uh just I want to give a couple of highlevel things. I think staff alluded to it, but it's important to remember the the larger context of this project. The project has been planned for many years uh in the county and the first comp plan

358
01:57:03.520 --> 01:57:20.800
amendments occurred I think in 2008 and after that the county adopted a series of sweeping um comp plan changes that resulted in us creating the market areas that we know so well around the county and the urban service area and

359
01:57:20.800 --> 01:57:37.599
the urban uh service expansion area. And those two uh areas included Two Rivers from the get-go. So, the county has known and planned for this project for many, many years, uh and certainly since

360
01:57:37.599 --> 01:57:54.560
2010. It's a 3,400 acre project. Um it's you know it's hundreds of millions of dollars have already been spent in development on the project and it's well it's on its way as staff pointed out and I'll get to a little bit more detail.

361
01:57:54.560 --> 01:58:12.400
We've been trying to address all segments of commercial development and all the infrastructure that you need for a project of this magnitude including schools including a regional park site. And um we've already uh conveyed sites

362
01:58:12.400 --> 01:58:27.520
to the county. The county bought a regional park site and the school board bought a school site where they're planning on doing a K8 site there. So what you see before you is a project that the county has really thought of as

363
01:58:27.520 --> 01:58:45.199
a bookend on the 5456 corridor for many years now. the county made assumptions about planning certain transit and other transportation improvements along this corridor along uh many many years, you know, over 15 years. And I'll get to

364
01:58:45.199 --> 01:59:00.880
some of that as we go. And when I'm done with with my part of the presentation, I'm going to ask uh Tony Miller, who's the proposed developer of of the surf part that you've already heard about on the site to come up, explain what he's trying to do and why we think this will

365
01:59:00.880 --> 01:59:17.599
be a really great regional and national draw for our area and for Two Rivers. So, Two Rivers, uh, the the the developer, Eisenhower Property Group, is very much aware that this is a land with a great history. The Thomas family owned

366
01:59:17.599 --> 01:59:32.719
this property for many generations and took great care of the land itself. Um, it was, you know, a a timber operation for many years, but it's also had great [snorts] hunting, fishing, and wildlife. And and in case many of you all don't

367
01:59:32.719 --> 01:59:48.560
know, it's the Thomas family that gave the property that created the Hillsboro River State Park that's such a large feature in this area. And actually my grandfather would work for the CCC's during the Great Depression, helped build the park. So that's always been a

368
01:59:48.560 --> 02:00:06.719
point of pride in our family. Um, again, you saw this staff from from um you saw this map from staff and what it's showing you all the areas that are cross-hatched or have the other checking on it are areas that are either have been already platted or already have

369
02:00:06.719 --> 02:00:22.719
site plan andor construction plan approvals. So, a large area of the projects already been approved. So what what happened as we were going along over the years uh and the planning of the project uh our client undertook a

370
02:00:22.719 --> 02:00:39.280
comprehensive uh uh review of the project about 3 four years ago and they hired a national firm to come in and do a couple of things. One was they wanted to make sure that they were getting the quality of development that they thought was possible to have on a project of

371
02:00:39.280 --> 02:00:53.920
this size. and they felt like there had been a lot of entry levelvel stuff that had been built in the area and they thought maybe we could do a little bit better. Then they also looked at the commercial that had been approved on this entire 56

372
02:00:53.920 --> 02:01:09.440
uh extension which is over six miles and they determined that there was a significant amount of uh underprovided commercial in the area. And so that's why we're seeking so much more commercial and for other reasons I'll

373
02:01:09.440 --> 02:01:26.080
explain in a minute. And then lastly, again, this surf park opportunity arose and the client is of the opinion that we're going to be fulfilling just about every part of what a live, work, play community could be already, but we

374
02:01:26.080 --> 02:01:41.840
didn't have a big national or regional draw and we feel like the surf park's going to do that. So, I I'll get moving here. So, again, this project has over three miles of frontage on State Road 56. Uh you all will recall the state

375
02:01:41.840 --> 02:01:58.639
road got uh funded initially as a two uh lane road and I worked with the three MPUD owners uh out here and Mr. Goldstein to create a searchcharge system and the county got a loan from the state infrastructure bank. But the

376
02:01:58.639 --> 02:02:15.119
sir charges on two rivers pay for about 60% of the total cost of lanes three and four of state road 56 for over six miles. So again regionally significant project. In addition to those sir

377
02:02:15.119 --> 02:02:31.280
charges, the project generates around, we think conservatively, $50 million in mobility fees for the county. Again, massive amount of money being uh created for the county to use on roadway projects over time. Now, when we speak

378
02:02:31.280 --> 02:02:48.000
about the quality, as we retoled the project over the last couple of years, just the area south of State Road 56, our client is spending uh close to $50 million in landscaping and hardscape

379
02:02:48.000 --> 02:03:03.440
improvements. And home builders in that area are spending another 13. So, it's going to be a very high-end community. Um, again, you've already seen some of this stuff from staff, but up in the top right area, there's already a major

380
02:03:03.440 --> 02:03:19.440
employment area that's reserved. There are major employment areas for light industrial that are reserved in the north uh west area as well. The school sites already been acquired by the the school board and an 85 acre regional

381
02:03:19.440 --> 02:03:35.920
park site's already been created. And to uh the the question that was posed earlier, I don't have the specific question that Mr. Moody was asking for, but our couchs were and it's hard to say if we lest out all of the non-residential, but before we le that

382
02:03:35.920 --> 02:03:52.159
out, the net density was about 2.67 units per acre. And and the reason why I bring that up is yes, we are asking for more more units here, but if you factor in the land use exchanges that had already occurred before we filed, and

383
02:03:52.159 --> 02:04:09.360
the one that we could have done on the senior housing was 209 units. We're essentially asking for just over 700 units on a project that already has, I think, about 5700 units. It's not a huge amount. And even when those units are

384
02:04:09.360 --> 02:04:25.599
allowed, you're still at a an density level that's commensurate with the rest of our urban service area in the South Market area. And if you look at our rental units as a whole, we're still at about 17.8%

385
02:04:25.599 --> 02:04:41.440
which is very low compared to the majority of the rest of the Bay Area. You've already seen this table several times. I'm not going to attempt to do anything with this slide other than to tell you that there have been months and

386
02:04:41.440 --> 02:04:56.560
months spent with county staff uh on the uh uh negotiation of what could occur uh [clears throat] and any additional apartments with this approval. And I'll try to summarize it very quickly. We can

387
02:04:56.560 --> 02:05:14.400
only have more apartments up to 240 if the surf park is built. And we build in one of only two areas that are very close to the surf park and the regional park site. And we then have to have it

388
02:05:14.400 --> 02:05:31.199
be part of a mixeduse area with a very urban design where the buildings are up on the road and we're trying to create an area that's more like Hyde Park. Uh it's not intended to be more suburban form multif family. It's intended to complement the surf park area. And if

389
02:05:31.199 --> 02:05:46.080
the surf park doesn't happen, that doesn't happen. And even on our town houses, a lot of negotiation with county staff on it. And the town houses can only be one of three things. They have to either be 24 feet or wider. Okay? So

390
02:05:46.080 --> 02:06:01.360
that's much larger than the typical 18 or 20 uh foot wide town houses we see. and one of our premier local luxury builders uh has a contract to build a significant amount of those units and we

391
02:06:01.360 --> 02:06:16.560
expect them to be priced two to three times uh higher than the average entry level townhouse would be in the county. The only other two options for town houses or are being alley loaded or if it's an internal lot that opens up onto

392
02:06:16.560 --> 02:06:34.880
a village green. So, the project has about 170 page architectural design guideline package that everyone has to follow. You're looking at some of the homes by West Bay that have been built on the south side of 56. Uh I'll get into the details on

393
02:06:34.880 --> 02:06:50.800
those but that basically we created with the Eisenhower team their their architectural group and uh the planners created a package of uh specific design ranch architecture that's consistent

394
02:06:50.800 --> 02:07:08.320
throughout the project. Uh and again every part whether it's single family detached town houses, apartments, any classification has to follow the themed architecture through there. What you see though in reality since the

395
02:07:08.320 --> 02:07:24.560
project's been retoled as a project that is very high-end in general. On the south side of 56 alone, there have already been 253 homes over $700,000 sold. West Bay's average house is well

396
02:07:24.560 --> 02:07:42.480
over a million dollars and these numbers are a little bit outdated, but they had sold over 88 as of a few months ago with an average sales price of 1.066 million. The project has won several different local and uh regional awards,

397
02:07:42.480 --> 02:08:00.079
projects built around trails and parks. Uh we know that that's what residents want. It's not just, you know, planners here at the county. That's what people want these days. And so there are over 10 miles of of multi-use paths and trails that run through the project. As

398
02:08:00.079 --> 02:08:14.800
you heard from staff, there's about 8 miles south of State Road uh 56 that has either 10 or 12 foot trails, most of which are 12. And then we have some localized connections, boardwalks, and stuff like that. And then the really

399
02:08:14.800 --> 02:08:31.920
cool uh uh uh other path that's going to go through a Tikico transmission area that has a big oak canopy along the south uh the the Pasco Hillsboro line. Again, very high-end amenity package.

400
02:08:31.920 --> 02:08:47.440
You know, some of the recent discussions with other NPUs are about, you know, what kind of quality are you going to have? Are you even going to have an amenity on site? Well, yes. many amenities and many upscale amenities. I'm just going to run you through a

401
02:08:47.440 --> 02:09:02.960
couple of the high-end amenities that are either have been built or are being built as we speak. Um, you know, you see resortstyle pools in several of them. I think three of the four major amenity areas have resort style pools, big

402
02:09:02.960 --> 02:09:19.280
workout areas, wine bars, restaurants, private clubs. Uh we have large uh parks, neighborhood parks, dog parks. This is another one called the Nest. I believe this one just completed construction recently. You see again

403
02:09:19.280 --> 02:09:35.599
another large area. Pickle ball, tennis courts, dog parks, things of this nature. Botchi ball, very highend. You can see the ranch style architecture here that carries on throughout the project. But it's a project that, you know, we're

404
02:09:35.599 --> 02:09:51.599
very proud of and we're trying to make sure creates the live, work, play that the urban service area in the South Market area uh were requiring for this area. And I'm going to have uh Tony come up now if he will and and walk you

405
02:09:51.599 --> 02:10:06.960
through the surf park. But I just want to say again, and I know I think you guys have heard this over many years, but I'm just going to remind you of a few things about the South Market area that the intent that the comp plan says we're supposed to follow for this area.

406
02:10:06.960 --> 02:10:24.079
And it says that the area shall be characterized by dense vertical non-residential development and sophisticated residential development with quality design, intensity, and density necessary to support transit opportunities. and that the mission for

407
02:10:24.079 --> 02:10:39.520
the South Market area is the creation of high density, compact and mixeduse location with maximized transportation opportunities that attract a broad spectrum of employers and businesses. This area promotes higher density, compact development and encourages

408
02:10:39.520 --> 02:10:56.159
mixeduse communities that live. I think that's what we're delivering on here. That's been our mission all along and we're just following up on that now. With that, I'll turn this over to Tony Miller and he can make a presentation about the surf park and then I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

409
02:10:56.159 --> 02:11:12.480
>> Thank you. [clears throat] >> Tony Miller, 3614 West Morrison Avenue in Tampa. Uh I am the developer of Peak Surf Park here. I'm going to take you through a few slides here just to give everybody uh two things. One is a much better perspective of what this surf

410
02:11:12.480 --> 02:11:28.639
park really means. I think there's probably some confusion about what is a water park. this is uh will hopefully answer some of those questions and two um show what value this is bringing to the county because I think it's there's significant value there. So um the vision for the Surf Park is uh to

411
02:11:28.639 --> 02:11:45.040
redefine lifestyle and leisure in the Tampa Bay market. Uh there are four key components I think that we're really delivering inside of this park. One is it's going to be a great surf park. Uh I know a lot of people think that there's a lot of surfing opportunities in Florida. There are not, especially on

412
02:11:45.040 --> 02:12:00.719
the West Coast. We do not have any waves and so um there will be surfing here uh in Pasco County. The second is it is a lot more than surf there. This will be the best beach club in Tampa or in uh yeah in Tampa Bay in Florida. This is uh

413
02:12:00.719 --> 02:12:16.480
people love to go to the beach. This will be a really great opportunity to have a great beach right here in Pasco County. It's going to be a hub for recreation entertainment. There'll be a lot more than just the surfing in the beach. There's going to be restaurants. There's going to be a festival field. There's going to be uh all kinds of things that I'll show you in just a

414
02:12:16.480 --> 02:12:31.119
second. And the final thing and probably one of the most important for me is this will be a third place for local residents. You have your home, you've got your work. Where is that place that you gather, you congregate, you socialize, you find community. This is going to be that place for many, many

415
02:12:31.119 --> 02:12:48.079
people here locally. Um I said that uh it's more than just surf. We we say surfing is the magnet. Lifestyle is the multiplier. Uh, as you can see here, there's going to be the beach and the boardwalk and a lot of the things associated with that. Uh, there's going to be a great dining scene here. Uh, one of the examples that I provided for

416
02:12:48.079 --> 02:13:04.320
people is that in my mind, this is in no way is this going to be what you would see at a typical attraction. The food scene will be much much better than that. We want to have uh small food outlets and each one of them would represent one of the iconic surf destinations in the world. So, you might

417
02:13:04.320 --> 02:13:20.400
have one that's Brazilian, you have one that's Australian, maybe you're going to have California food. So, um it'll be a very unique and eclectic uh food scene. We're going to have a sports village that's going to include uh skateboarding, climbing walls, uh all kinds of things. It'll be fantastic for

418
02:13:20.400 --> 02:13:36.880
the kids. Um and then we're also going to have events and retail um where there's going to be it's going to be a true retail village. So, it won't again be anything kitschy uh that you might see at a lot of the uh themed attraction parks. This is an example. Uh this

419
02:13:36.880 --> 02:13:53.119
should be a pretty good representation. I've been continuing to push and pull on our site plan. So, there will be things that will move around in this, but it gives you a good sense of the surf lagoon, the beach, and a lot of the amenities um that are on there. So, for example, down here is where we have that

420
02:13:53.119 --> 02:14:08.960
action sports park uh with a lazy river. Um up here is like a retail village. Uh there's going to be uh food and beverage. Uh this is going to be a hotel along with a big festival field where we can do all kinds of events, movies, concerts, all kinds of things like that.

421
02:14:08.960 --> 02:14:25.599
Um moving on, I think one of the important things here is the vibe of this park is authenticity is critical. Um we do not want this to feel like a typical theme park. We want this to feel like an authentic surf village that you walk into. and everything that we do around

422
02:14:25.599 --> 02:14:41.040
the design and the guest experience will be represented here. So I think it's important to note that I am not a traditional developer. I am here to infuse this development with my personal mission statement. My personal

423
02:14:41.040 --> 02:14:57.119
mission statement for my life is to live big, laugh a lot, and elevate others. That's what I'm striving to do for me. And I see all of those elements fitting into this surf park. I'm not building the surf park and then turning around and selling it. This is my baby. I'm going to build it and I want to operate

424
02:14:57.119 --> 02:15:12.639
it and I'm bu doing it with a long-term view in mind. So, I want this to be an awesome experience for everybody who is involved. So, kind of transitioning to driving value for Pasco County. I'm just going to summarize this in three main areas.

425
02:15:12.639 --> 02:15:28.880
One, I think this is going to be an incredible asset for locals. This is going to be something as um Clark just mentioned, this is the play in that live, work, play where people in all of this surrounding Two Rivers development and beyond can have a place that they can come to. They can go to the beach.

426
02:15:28.880 --> 02:15:44.560
They can enjoy great food. They can listen to live music. There will be something for everybody. This is not just for surfers. Second, this is creating a lot of economic benefit. There is over 500 jobs, new jobs that will be creating 700 if you include the

427
02:15:44.560 --> 02:16:01.760
hotel jobs. 1.3 billion of economic impact over the first 10 years and a lot of additional tax revenue that will be going into the county here. So, we're driving economic benefit. The EDC uh has provided a letter of support. Uh so, uh Bill Cronin has provided that. We've

428
02:16:01.760 --> 02:16:15.840
also and the final thing is we are creating a regional national destination. This will be an incredible park that will be known throughout the country and we will draw people here that want to come and experience that.

429
02:16:15.840 --> 02:16:33.679
Um, and it will be something that is we will draw people from Hillsboro. We're going to draw people throughout the state. So, it'll be a an incredible tourism destination. And again, we've gotten a letter um from Adam over at uh Florida Sports Coast because it really fulfills that brand positioning and all

430
02:16:33.679 --> 02:16:48.399
the work that they're looking to do uh with the tourism board there. Um so that's it. I would say a perfect day is not a a dream. It would be a destination and that destination is here in Pasco County. >> Happy to answer any questions.

431
02:16:48.399 --> 02:17:04.000
>> Thank you. Are there some questions? >> Okay, we'll see what questions develop. >> One last thing I was going to say, Mr. chairman. Uh well, two, one, we have our full team here, engineers, planners, and and if you all take uh public comment

432
02:17:04.000 --> 02:17:21.280
and you have questions, we'll be happy to answer your questions in. But also, I I have a feeling some of the folks here uh may be interested in the environmental side of the project. And I just did want to point out one thing in my presentation and chief the county has

433
02:17:21.280 --> 02:17:37.760
pretty sophisticated uh environmental lands policies and goals that they follow through on every MPU and especially where a category one wetland system that's significant like Indian Creek is that runs through this project. And I just want everybody on the

434
02:17:37.760 --> 02:17:54.160
planning commission and who's present to understand the county already had requirements of the master developer that I believe have already been complied with that required the creation of a very large regionally significant conservation

435
02:17:54.160 --> 02:18:09.599
uh area that protects Indian Creek which is one of the headwaters of of the Hillsboro River. And so I just want them to know that there were conservation easements that were required to be put in place as each of the phases came

436
02:18:09.599 --> 02:18:25.679
along. And so they're either in plats or in separate conservation easements, but those do exist. Other than that, I'll answer questions after our neighbors speak. Thank you very much. >> Thank you. All right. Who do we have on the list? >> The first individual I have signed up to

437
02:18:25.679 --> 02:18:41.920
speak is a Miss Danielle Kimrell. And then after that I have a Miss Laura Daffer. >> All right. So as you come up if you can give us your name and address and have you been sworn? >> I have. Danielle Kimbell, 1215 West Risk

438
02:18:41.920 --> 02:18:57.679
Street, Plant City. >> Thank you. >> The third space already exists. It's called nature and we're losing it constantly. This is a a constant sign that is at the

439
02:18:57.679 --> 02:19:15.359
Hillsboro Community College. This is one of many headwaters that contributes to the Tampa Bay wershed. The water in this seasonal wetlands flows through, beneath, and into the following locations. At the top of this list, Two Rivers Ranch.

440
02:19:15.359 --> 02:19:31.920
This is 49 mile journey passes through a number of natural communities, including freshwater swamps and creeks. These swamps and creeks flow into the forested river system that slowly meanders its way through Temple Terrace, then through

441
02:19:31.920 --> 02:19:48.160
urban Tampa before entering the Hillsboro Bay, Tampa Bay, and finally Gulf of Mexico. The importance of keeping even small water bodies such as this in a prime, pristine, functional, and vital condition as possible cannot

442
02:19:48.160 --> 02:20:03.840
be emphasized enough. The activities that negatively affect headwaters have damaged damaging impacts many miles downstream in their journey to the ocean.

443
02:20:03.840 --> 02:20:20.720
Now imagine how many places have already been covered especially t uh temple terrace. This is development is not an island. The water will continue to flow. Any more development in this area is beyond irresponsible.

444
02:20:20.720 --> 02:20:41.040
Billions of taxpayers money has gone into repairing the Everglades. We still haven't learned. This book was written in 1947. The Hillsboro County was given millions of dollars by uh by the US government

445
02:20:41.040 --> 02:20:56.720
for sediment study that started at Baker Creek just south of this development. And again, the water is going to continue to flow. And it impacts more than just this

446
02:20:56.720 --> 02:21:12.160
development. This land goes back way further than what was mentioned from the people that owned money or have money and have owned this property. This land has been sacred. And I want to know who's

447
02:21:12.160 --> 02:21:30.000
protecting that. who is overseeing the millions that have already been spent at this property, digging it up and not showing what they find because it there's there's evidence there of

448
02:21:30.000 --> 02:21:45.840
past civilizations and it's again beyond irresponsible to develop this area. Thank you. >> Thank you. [applause] No applause, please. No applause. Okay, >> next we have a Miss Laura Daffer and

449
02:21:45.840 --> 02:22:00.880
then after that we have a Mr. Wayne Schuler. >> Okay. Again, give your name and address please. >> Hello, my name is Laura Daffer and my mailing address is 38935 West County Line Road, Zephr Hills. But

450
02:22:00.880 --> 02:22:17.840
the reality is I live in Crystal Springs, 5 to 10 miles away from where all this proposed development is going to take place unless you stop it. What will it take for you to understand?

451
02:22:17.840 --> 02:22:35.600
Pasco County does not need any more development. When I was growing up, I was taught that Florida meant land of flowers. Please stop it from becoming the land of ugly houses.

452
02:22:35.600 --> 02:22:50.720
Right up there where it says open spaces, vibrant places, that's not going to be Pasco County anymore. According to the county website, the population of Pasco County is

453
02:22:50.720 --> 02:23:14.080
659,114. How many of these people have you asked what they want, what they need? We don't need any more houses, apartments, town houses, warehouses, stores, car washes, etc.

454
02:23:14.080 --> 02:23:30.720
We do need better roads, less traffic, and we need to protect our water. Where is the water going to come from for the proposed 35 acre recreational

455
02:23:30.720 --> 02:23:48.240
water park? I am so thankful that I grew up going to a Godmade water park called Crystal Springs before the water got sold off and

456
02:23:48.240 --> 02:24:11.520
bottled up. In closing, I want to quote a line from an old movie, Field of Dreams. If you build it, he will come. I'm begging you, stop building it, and

457
02:24:11.520 --> 02:24:29.560
maybe then they won't come. Focus on the needs of the people who already live here. Thank you so much. >> Thank you. >> Up next is Mr. Wayne Scheler. After that is Miss Michaela Krauss.

458
02:24:34.160 --> 02:24:50.880
>> And Mr. Scheler, I know you've already been sworn, but we still need you to repat Zephr Hills. I've been sworn. >> Thank you. >> Uh just another quick comment. We expect the planning commission, the the county commissioners, the permitting officials

459
02:24:50.880 --> 02:25:07.120
to wait the interest of all the residents, not not only for profit for builders, but be responsible for water resources, stop unchecked growth and and degrading of neighborhoods and increased

460
02:25:07.120 --> 02:25:23.920
increased flooding and and uh traffic congestion. We're just looking for basic things. We we don't want uh to stop all building and everything, but we're we're at a breaking point, especially in that area with traffic and water. We we don't

461
02:25:23.920 --> 02:25:37.840
need anymore. We don't need any more people building. We don't need more people driving in that area. I mean, I go to Plant City or Tampa every week and I hate sitting in traffic. It's like it's like Tampa's come to Zephr Hills. I

462
02:25:37.840 --> 02:25:54.720
you know, uh I just think no for now. until everything settles down. Stop stop the building, get the roads, infrastructure, and everything built before you start letting pe thousands of people drive in the end. [cough]

463
02:25:54.720 --> 02:26:11.920
Please, no more. Uh I'm I've been here a long time and I know what it's like. I remember when it was all flat lands all the way out 54. You've built so much and once they build, they don't care about the people

464
02:26:11.920 --> 02:26:26.240
around them. It's just keep building, keep building and and you're hurting hurting a lot of residents. So, please no more. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Up next is Miss Michaela Krauss. After

465
02:26:26.240 --> 02:26:45.840
that is Mr. Carl Bailey. Michaela Krauss, 35920, Praise Place, Unit 102, Zephr Hills, Florida, 33541. I have sworn. Good afternoon again, commissioners. Um, I am a resident here today to strongly urge you to deny the

466
02:26:45.840 --> 02:27:02.160
reasonzoning amendments before you, Two Rivers. What is being proposed is not a minor adjustment. It is a transformation of our community on a massive scale. At Two Rivers Alone, this was a project originally presented as having the same

467
02:27:02.160 --> 02:27:17.439
residential footprint comparable to Lake Bernardet and is now seeking approval for, you know, 6,547 new homes, 480 hotel rooms, 4 million square feet of industrial and commercial

468
02:27:17.439 --> 02:27:34.319
space, a 35 acre surf water park. What concerns me the most is our apparent willingness to treat our natural resources as expendable. Two rivers was old growth forest that was cut, burned,

469
02:27:34.319 --> 02:27:49.680
and then the other month logged. Okay. Um, pretty intense to see that when the entire county is becoming concrete, you know, that that could have been an equestrian park or a trail that we actually want. We want that. We don't

470
02:27:49.680 --> 02:28:05.359
want this. Um, this responsibility, it falls on you guys and we're really, we're really trusting you. Um, please, please have our public interest in mind and please don't just simply approve every proposal that crosses your desk

471
02:28:05.359 --> 02:28:21.840
because this has gone on way too far and the public is just now really being aware of it. Um, there are already 50 hotels throughout Wesley Chapel and Zephr Hills, existing recreational facility, splash pads, and water

472
02:28:21.840 --> 02:28:39.200
attractions at Zephr Park and Hercules Park. Um yet we are being asked to accept hundreds more hotel rooms and a massive water park surf park while our roads, schools, emergency services and most importantly our natural systems

473
02:28:39.200 --> 02:28:55.600
struggle to keep pace with growth already approved. At some point we must decide whether we are building a community or just simply consuming one. Future generations will never know the Pasco County that existed before these decisions. If we continue approving

474
02:28:55.600 --> 02:29:12.399
projects of this magnitude once the forests are cleared, once the habitats are destroyed, once the character of these waterways is lost, there is no vote that can bring them back. You have the power to protect something irreplaceable. stand with the rivers,

475
02:29:12.399 --> 02:29:27.920
stand with the wildlife, stand with future generations, and please deny these reasoning amendments. Um, and I do want to bring up Indian Creek, New River, and Hillsboro River for they cannot hire lobbyists. Um, the wetlands

476
02:29:27.920 --> 02:29:44.240
cannot stand at this podium. The birds, the fish, the native species that depend on these ecosystems, they don't have attorneys on their behalf speaking. You know, that's why we're here. And I just also want to point out that when they brought in that field dirt for Two

477
02:29:44.240 --> 02:29:58.720
Rivers and then Milton came, the Zephr Hills flooded, people lost their homes and their lives. There's no number that you can calculate. I don't know what scientists or conservationist you can bring in to tell me about that logic.

478
02:29:58.720 --> 02:30:16.240
Okay. Um, also my water that I drink, it tastes and smells like toilet water. And I have the filter on my sink. Just, you know, I go outside and you put all these homes in, I smell raw sewage in the air.

479
02:30:16.240 --> 02:30:34.479
>> Okay? Please, please, we're begging you. The residents want nature. We want our trails. We want to smell fresh air and breathe water. This is just basic needs. Please listen to us. Any questions while I have two minutes?

480
02:30:34.479 --> 02:30:51.520
because I'm outside a lot. I can answer any questions about in you know the creeks or the you know if you if you pull up two rivers and you just zoom out one click Hillsboro River State Parks below that you know in this county you guys really should have kept that land

481
02:30:51.520 --> 02:31:08.040
but now that's into Rivers hand you know we really need to put them in line on what they're doing to this county. Thank you. >> Thank you. Appreciate it. >> After Mr. Carl Bailey is Miss Donna Holt.

482
02:31:11.040 --> 02:31:27.120
>> Good afternoon, gentlemen. My name is Carl Bailey. I live 3609 East Tampa Circle. I am sworn in. I'm also a property owner in Pasco County. I'm also vice chairman of the Sierra Club and one of the organizers with Stop Two Rivers.

483
02:31:27.120 --> 02:31:42.319
So, you can guess how this is going to go. I'm also 11 months out of the military. probably can't tell that because Marine Corps I cut my haircut a little shorter. Typically, they issue a beard when you retire, >> but I I'm not growing one. So, I grew a

484
02:31:42.319 --> 02:31:58.720
Maine. Thank you for the opportunity and for the chairman for your patience with me earlier to participate in the democracy I defended. Thank you [clears throat] guys for giving up your time because I know you don't get paid enough to do this. >> Thank you for showing up and participating in democracy. So many

485
02:31:58.720 --> 02:32:17.600
Americans today. >> You're going to have to speak in the microphone. We can't record you otherwise >> for showing up and participating in the democracy so many Americans defend and even for council and opposition. Thank you. It would be no fun without you. >> I'm asking you either vote no

486
02:32:17.600 --> 02:32:34.080
acknowledging that your job is to vote whether it's consistent or not with the growth plan. I would remind you I know that's a risk. You're looking at the whole growth plan, not just the specific bullets that were cited earlier. >> So whether this is consistent with the

487
02:32:34.080 --> 02:32:50.800
plan as a whole, I'm asking if you can't vote no, at least vote for a delay. And I'll get into some of the reasons why a delay may be prudent for this particular project. Now, a little bit about me. I grew up here, actually, Hillsboro County 301,

488
02:32:50.800 --> 02:33:06.080
right across the street from Two Rivers Ranch. My sister actually mucks stalls and rode on the ranch and knew the Thomas family well. Moved to Pasco County because 30 years ago, Hillsboro County was getting overbuilt for my taste. After that, joined the Marine

489
02:33:06.080 --> 02:33:21.600
Corps. You can imagine me coming home 24 years later to Hillsboro County and Pasco County. Completely grown up. When I left, we had growth. We had good growth along 54. We were growing. Coffers were

490
02:33:21.600 --> 02:33:36.640
flowing here in Pasco County. We were building out some municipal structures. It was good. But that was because the infrastructure was required by law to be in place before we developed. So it all made sense. Coming home, wildlife, the wildlands,

491
02:33:36.640 --> 02:33:52.560
the water, they're scarce. The infrastructure, at the risk of offending you, is well behind where it should be for the amount of development we have going on. I'm going to touch back on that later. So, I'm not opposed to growth.

492
02:33:52.560 --> 02:34:07.680
>> Don't wait too much later because you got three minutes. So, [laughter] >> that's okay. >> Make sure you get everything in. >> We're talking about a change in the plan. So, we are changing a plan and the only reason for that is not to build affordable housing and we have affordable housing prices is to build homes for people like me can afford

493
02:34:07.680 --> 02:34:23.439
$700,000 home. And I don't think that's consistent overall with what this county needs. You saw no justification for why we need to build a hotel, a retail space, and a water park in the middle of the Hillsboro River County Hills River flood

494
02:34:23.439 --> 02:34:40.160
plan. Again, not affordability. We only can see a profit motive for that. And the county members are going to have to pay for all the human infrastructure we have to put in. All the police are going to have to hire, all the teachers for the schools, um emergency responders, etc.

495
02:34:40.160 --> 02:34:56.640
And this is a time we may not have a property tax. So that brings me a first reason to delay. How do we pay for this if on November 3rd they vote the property tax down? Now talk about the things we can't fix. Wildland, wildlife, and water. Once it's gone, it's gone. Now the wildlands, the site has

496
02:34:56.640 --> 02:35:13.359
undeveloped property. That's our risk mitigation. If we make a mistake now, how do I fix it? How do we develop growth in the future? The wildlife, it's why we live here. Most of the people in the audience, they'd have pictures of bald eagles in their front yards. Um,

497
02:35:13.359 --> 02:35:29.359
that's that's why we do it. The water, either we have too much or we have too little. And I will respectfully disagree with one of the things said earlier, you can't put water just into a retention pond. Doesn't work. Once Tampa

498
02:35:29.359 --> 02:35:46.399
closes the dam on the Hillsboro River that water backs up. This is the property it was supposed to back up into. when we had PE8 that property is where it used to back up into that water will go somewhere now that flooding will be displaced and the people in the audience are going to pay

499
02:35:46.399 --> 02:36:04.399
for that with their insurance costs now too little is the other thing like we have now again looking at this comprehensively what would happen to our water resources if we had all this extra development in place that's a lot of straws in the ground and frankly with

500
02:36:04.399 --> 02:36:21.439
our water problem it is a strategic lifeboat problem. There will be a limit to growth. We're already overpumping and these developments aren't finished. Lastly, I do want to talk about because I got a little bit of time. Bad taste. Asking for a water park in the middle of

501
02:36:21.439 --> 02:36:36.640
a drought is like my son getting drunk, crashing the car, [clears throat] and then asking me for a new car while the blue lights are still flashing. Frankly, the timing is poor. Again, looking at this holistically, how does this plan fit with Hillsboro

502
02:36:36.640 --> 02:36:53.840
County? This project's not bookended. Two Rivers wants to develop on the Hillsboro County side. All that traffic going down 301, which we call G Boulevard, is going to back up. Now lastly, as a testament to the state of the infrastructure, the whole family was

503
02:36:53.840 --> 02:37:10.399
delayed in getting here because of that bike accident which may have been a fatality and they were not here for swearing in. So just request forbearance. If you can swear them in, I know that's out of the ordinary. I'd like to use the remainder of my time to give them an opportunity to speak. And then for the last nine seconds for

504
02:37:10.399 --> 02:37:29.000
everyone here opposing to Rivers, please stand up. Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you. >> After [clears throat] Miss Donna Halt is a Mr. Gabrielle Halt.

505
02:37:33.760 --> 02:37:50.720
>> You say Miss >> Oh, Miss Donna. >> Donna Halt is next. And then it's either Gabriel or Gabriel. >> It's [laughter] Gabriel. >> Um I was not sworn in. I was caught in the traffic so I'm not sure if I can. >> Yeah, she can be sworn in. Please raise your hand.

506
02:37:50.720 --> 02:38:10.080
>> You want to get anybody else together? >> Yeah. Whoever has not been sworn in that wants to speak, stand and raise your right hand and be sworn. >> I would just ask that if you're going to come up and speak, please try to speak about something that hasn't already been

507
02:38:10.080 --> 02:38:29.600
spoken about. >> Okay. you guys. >> Good um afternoon. I think at this point um commissioners, I my name is Donna Holt. I live at 6539 West Knights Griffin Road. I am in Plant City,

508
02:38:29.600 --> 02:38:46.080
Florida. Um I am here today um to speak regarding this amendment and I'm asking that either you delay it or that you um turn it down. And I don't want to reiterate I think some of the things that some of the other people have said, but I think it's very important. One of

509
02:38:46.080 --> 02:39:02.800
the questions that I have, I heard uh one of the representatives um indicate that this plan for [clears throat] this two rivers on the Pasco County side has been in motion basically since 2008. Uh my question is what's changed? What has changed since 2008 um that they want to

510
02:39:02.800 --> 02:39:18.319
now have this plan amendment change? Has infrastructure changed? Has roads or schools changed? Fire rescue changed? law enforcement, utilities, water resources. We know we're in one of the biggest droughts um that we had. And I feel the burden shouldn't rest on the u

511
02:39:18.319 --> 02:39:35.840
the residents um on this plan. I think that it should uh re rest on the applicant to demonstrate what the substantial changes have been. I'm concerned about the fiscal responsibility. With ongoing discussions at the state level about eliminating or reducing property taxes, local

512
02:39:35.840 --> 02:39:51.200
governments are going to face uncertainty about the future revenue um and how they're going to pay for schools and fire stations, sheriffs, that type of thing. So my concern um also with this change is when this entire plan was developed they went before swift mud

513
02:39:51.200 --> 02:40:06.640
wetlands were developed runoffs were developed retention ponds detention ponds all these things were developed in this community based on their original site plan what has changed what's going to change when they make these new changes what's going to change with this

514
02:40:06.640 --> 02:40:23.439
water runoff that's a concern for me obviously I am south and we are facing you know two rivers um on the south side and now we're dealing with two rivers on the north side because that water is going to flow to us on our side. It's going to flow down through Hillsboro County River uh Hillsboro River and

515
02:40:23.439 --> 02:40:39.280
that's going to affect all of Hillsboro County. Like Carl already said, if the dams are closed, it's going to back up. But what has changed? Has there been new um studies done regarding the storm water changes based on the new plan that they're requesting for you to approve versus what was approved? Where is this

516
02:40:39.280 --> 02:40:55.120
water going to go? Um what's going to happen there? That's a big concern that I have. Uh my husband's a storm water engineer. We actually flooded during Milton. We literally just moved back on our house um back in uh January. And so I feel like one thing that needs to be

517
02:40:55.120 --> 02:41:12.399
discussed is this water park. So now we don't no longer have old Florida. We no longer have old Pasco. Now you guys, you're going to have Hyde Park. Is that what I just heard? So horses and cows are going to now be replaced with Hyde Park. How many citizens in New River or

518
02:41:12.399 --> 02:41:27.840
two in the two rivers even got a chance to come here today because you guys have this meeting at 1:30 in the afternoon when people who have to pay for their houses can't even come here and have a voice. That's a concern for me. So now welcome to Hyde Park in Zephr Hills

519
02:41:27.840 --> 02:41:45.680
Wesley Chapel. Why do we need another water park? You already have a water park. That's a concern for me. I don't know if that's my time up. Oh, sorry. That's my time. I'm going to defer. >> Okay. Thank you. After Mr. Gabriel Holt is a Miss Janet Stano.

520
02:41:45.680 --> 02:42:01.840
I apologize if I said that wrong. >> I'm sorry. Wait a minute. Who was supposed to be next? >> Gabriel. >> Gabriel Halt. >> That's me. Hello. >> It's you. Okay. >> I'm Gabriel Hold. Uh, hello commissioners. Um, >> what's your address, Gabriel? >> Oh, sorry.

521
02:42:01.840 --> 02:42:18.319
Uh, I live at 6539 West Knights Griffin Road. I've been sworn in. >> Okay. Um, I'm here to voice my concerns about this land use change. It

522
02:42:18.319 --> 02:42:35.600
has been found by your um people that it's consistent, but is it consistent with the Sorry. Sorry. Is it consistent with the plan and infrastructure or only the

523
02:42:35.600 --> 02:42:54.720
plan? [clears throat] Sorry. As a youth who's been raised in rural Florida, I am upset with the two real river Rivers owners because they are going to

524
02:42:54.720 --> 02:43:12.080
have a pretty large environmental impact because this is going to it's hard to say what has been said because lots of people have spoken, but it's going to use up lots and lots lots more water.

525
02:43:12.080 --> 02:43:31.280
Take the 35 acre water park for instance. I know it's already been said, but on average, a water park of that size to initially fill can take anywhere from 17 to 19 million gallons of water.

526
02:43:31.280 --> 02:43:46.399
Not only do we not have enough water to support the homes, we do not have enough water to support 17 million gallons of water being put into a water park. Not to mention the extra 200,000 gallons

527
02:43:46.399 --> 02:44:06.960
that will probably be used per day to make up for what gets evaporated and splashed out of ponds. I mean, uh, pools, sorry. We are already having lots of either water shortages or

528
02:44:06.960 --> 02:44:23.840
flooding. As has been said in Milton, where we live, we're not even supposed to flood, but we got a little over an inch of water in our house as well as our entire yard getting coated in water.

529
02:44:23.840 --> 02:44:40.788
Trying to add almost double the amount of water straws into the aquafer than they already [clears throat] can is just unthinkable. And it will have immense econ uh I can't talk. Sorry.

530
02:44:40.788 --> 02:44:57.680
[gasps] It will have immense environmental and economic uh impacts and it's just not going to be good for us for long term. Please vote against

531
02:44:57.680 --> 02:45:18.720
this. Thank you for your time. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Good job. >> Up next is Miss Janet S. And after that is a Miss Nancy Williams. Good afternoon. Um, my name is Janet Stano. I live at 14701

532
02:45:18.720 --> 02:45:36.960
Rocky Brook Drive in Tampa, Florida. I'm the chair of Tampa Bay Sierra Club. And the reason why Sierra Club is here today is Sierra Club is an environmental organization and the environment, the wildlife,

533
02:45:36.960 --> 02:45:55.200
wetlands, uh, surface water knows no boundaries. It can't read the maps that are put up on the display. So, we are concerned about the uh the impact on Tampa Bay.

534
02:45:55.200 --> 02:46:15.680
Um, the water affects us all. This land is part of the Hillsboro River flood plane and and Tampa water Tampa's water supply. The additional proposed intensity will use even more water in

535
02:46:15.680 --> 02:46:31.600
residential areas. 50% of the water goes for irrigation to water lawns. How much more water and this is a question. How much more water will this expansion require? Have more

536
02:46:31.600 --> 02:46:46.800
studies been done on the water requirements and where the water will come from and how uh surrounding areas will be impacted. Have you studied how wetlands and flood paint planes will be affected by the

537
02:46:46.800 --> 02:47:02.319
additional pumping? Is there an estimate of additional development related flooding with a plan for managing that water or is the developer just relying on the per uh previous documentation that was

538
02:47:02.319 --> 02:47:21.680
provided? I will close that it is unconscionable for the applicant to ask for a 35 acre water park in the middle of a drought when municipalities are challenged to provide water for residents

539
02:47:21.680 --> 02:47:40.880
and have had build moratoriums and we're o overpumping the peace river. Our first priority is to uh to ask for a a denial of this request

540
02:47:40.880 --> 02:47:55.680
in 2008. They've been working on it since 2008 and had an approval. Then they brought in a consultant and needed more density. >> Now, what's to stop them next year for getting from getting another consultant

541
02:47:55.680 --> 02:48:11.520
and adding yet even more density? So, we're asking for a denial, but if it's not possible to do that, we ask for a continuence to coordinate with Hillsboro County uh to assess the impact

542
02:48:11.520 --> 02:48:29.680
on the total parcel between the two counties. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> The last individual I have signed up to speak is Miss Nancy Williams. Hi, my name is Nancy Williams. I live at

543
02:48:29.680 --> 02:48:46.240
35617 Sunflower Hill Drive in Two Rivers. Um, I came here, we came here today, my husband and I, because we're excited. We wanted to know what was going on. We saw the the signs and thought, "Oh, we want to have all the information because we're retired. We

544
02:48:46.240 --> 02:49:01.200
can go back home and tell everyone what's going on." I'm really disappointed that there are so many people who are against what's going on because we're excited. Um, we have lived there. We understand the community and what the builders are doing. It's a good

545
02:49:01.200 --> 02:49:19.520
thing that they are doing a lot of things that are being conservative and being protective of the community. We sit in our lai every morning along the preserve and we watch the wildlife. We are living the life of the preserve and

546
02:49:19.520 --> 02:49:36.640
the wonderful community that they have been developing. Um when the hurricane happened two years ago, it was right after we moved in and we didn't get flooding, but the preserve was flooded. So they are accommodating for flooding in our areas. They are doing the right things. They're planting bahaya grass in

547
02:49:36.640 --> 02:49:53.359
the backyards so that and with no sprinkler systems in the backyard so that we aren't consuming as much water as the normal home. So, I'm feeling that the developer is doing what they can to do for the the environment at the same

548
02:49:53.359 --> 02:50:10.720
time giving us the the homeowners the things that we want in a new community. We are coming from all over. We didn't we didn't live here before. Um there aren't a lot of places to buy into that have everything. And this is a community that's going to have everything. That's

549
02:50:10.720 --> 02:50:28.880
why we bought here. So, we're happy with what's going on, and you need to keep that in mind as well. >> All right. Thank you. >> There are no more individuals signed up uh to speak, Mr. Chair. >> All right. I I know that you want to

550
02:50:28.880 --> 02:50:45.920
speak, so you can come up, but is there anybody else that wants to speak >> that hasn't been sworn? >> Julia Barsonic, Meadowwood Tribe have been sworn. And um I'm all for geriatric apartments. Um I may be in one sooner

551
02:50:45.920 --> 02:51:01.439
than later. Um but definitely not in this area. Um and we're going to need more geriatric facilities in Pasco County because more more younger people are actually leaving Pasco County that

552
02:51:01.439 --> 02:51:18.000
have grown up here, which is very sad. Um I was at listening in on one of the county meetings and in a mere uh five or six years we're going to have to be looking at purchasing 33 million gallons

553
02:51:18.000 --> 02:51:35.920
of water daily from Hillsboro County who may not even sell us that water because they may need to uh bolster the levels of the Hillsboro River. So, this is definitely something to uh

554
02:51:35.920 --> 02:51:50.960
consider because I don't know who's going to be liable. Um, Pasco obviously is going toilet to tap um as it's called, but who's going to be liable when those taps go dry in five or six

555
02:51:50.960 --> 02:52:08.399
years? Does anyone know when people go, the average citizen goes to turn on their tap for water or a fire department goes to put out a fire? Um because we have many fires these days in Florida. Where's the water going to come from?

556
02:52:08.399 --> 02:52:25.279
It's I'm deeply concerned about that and thank you for your time and thank you for what you do. I don't know how you do it, but um grateful for everybody here, our speakers and everybody. Thank you. Uh please please deny this or continue. Thank you. >> Thank you.

557
02:52:25.279 --> 02:52:40.319
So we've heard a lot I just want to mention that we've heard a an awful lot about water. You know whether it's right or wrong. That's those are things we have to decide. So I would prefer that if you're going to come up and speak just speak about a different topic.

558
02:52:40.319 --> 02:52:55.200
That's all. Give us something besides water. >> So I can throw this away. This is Jasmine Forin. I'm at 14119 uh family trail in Hudson.

559
02:52:55.200 --> 02:53:11.680
I moved there from Panelis because it was over overbuilt and now I'm I'm aiming to move someplace else because everything around me is destroyed. Uh as far as water goes, um

560
02:53:11.680 --> 02:53:29.600
I think that they should bring in sea water from the instead of drinking water from the aquifer if they want this uh elaborate thing to to serve few people who can afford it. This entire project [clears throat] is for rich people.

561
02:53:29.600 --> 02:53:44.560
They promise jobs. Where will the people that do work there live? [clears throat] Panelis is u employing people that live in Pasco because it's cheaper. Are we at the

562
02:53:44.560 --> 02:54:00.800
point where we have to go elsewhere for workforce because everything else is so expensive? Um, also [clears throat] I'm I'm curious to know if I had to pay $20,000 impact fee for a smallest of the mobile homes

563
02:54:00.800 --> 02:54:15.760
in in Hudson area, how much of impact fees are these people paying the county. So, East Coast is not too far away. They can go surfing in the ocean there. Uh,

564
02:54:15.760 --> 02:54:32.560
instead of building a a it is amusement park. I'm sorry. It's It is It is something that's created just to amuse uh people who can afford it. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Okay.

565
02:54:32.560 --> 02:54:50.000
Just a minute. One minute, Nancy. Um were you were you on the list, Nancy? >> No. >> Were you on the list? >> No. >> Okay. >> How many were not on the list that do want to speak? >> Okay. But you've been sworn, Nancy, right? Yes.

566
02:54:50.000 --> 02:55:05.120
>> Okay. So, why don't you come on up? But the other ones, the two I guess there's two of you. We'll we'll have to swear you in before you come up. >> I'll be short and sweet. Nancy Hazeswood 341, a nice place. And I won't talk about

567
02:55:05.120 --> 02:55:21.760
water much. So, I'd really be more impressed if I saw images of the architecture. I know we saw pictures of the park and the bars and the restaurants, but the architecture and what the grounds are going to look like

568
02:55:21.760 --> 02:55:39.680
and that would be impressive. >> I, you know, I've gone to back to these places that they've said, "Oh, it's wonderful and look at all the loveliness we're going to create." And I've been over underwhelmed 99% of the time.

569
02:55:39.680 --> 02:55:55.279
So, I've got some questions about the surf park. Uh, is it going to be open to the public? Because I know Marada was open to the public. A lot of people that moved in there didn't realize it was going to be. And they actually had some

570
02:55:55.279 --> 02:56:13.439
problems there when it was open in the uh public because they were also drinking at the same time they were playing in the water park. Uh so those were the two big problems that

571
02:56:13.439 --> 02:56:30.319
well I have more problems with it but you all have already heard them so thank y'all. >> Thank you Nancy. [clears throat] >> Oh one more thing um could we do a breakdown of what kind of jobs the surf park's going to u bring like the high end of the what they're going to make

572
02:56:30.319 --> 02:56:46.479
and the low end and how many of these and how many of those. Thank you. as I'm sure they're making notes and they'll try to answer >> Yeah. >> any of the questions that you raised. >> Okay. >> I just wanted to let you know that you won the Planning Commission participation trophy today.

573
02:56:46.479 --> 02:57:03.439
>> Oh, stop. >> So, I brought you some beautiful organically grown butternut squashes from my garden. >> You'd like to come up and get them claim them? They're yours. >> Come on, Nancy.

574
02:57:03.439 --> 02:57:24.240
Thank you. [laughter] >> Wow. You set the bar high. >> That's right. >> Jeez. How are we going to top that one? >> Organically grown butternut squash. >> What are you giving away, Chris?

575
02:57:24.240 --> 02:57:40.319
>> I don't know. I'm [laughter] I I have some avocados going. >> Okay. >> Okay. We forgive your name and address. Hi, my name is Karen Mcolddrich. I live at 5973 Bear Meadow in Plant City. >> Okay, let's get you sworn in, please. >> I think I already did. She did her second.

576
02:57:40.319 --> 02:57:56.479
>> Oh, you did? Okay. >> Um, I've heard we live we live on just a thousand feet from what Two Rivers wants to do in their 8,000 acres. So, this is a huge concern for us. Um, what

577
02:57:56.479 --> 02:58:11.279
I've heard for the past couple hours is a lot of words, a lot of words from salesmen, from suits that want to promise one thing and then they do what they do and then they back out and they're never heard from again. Um, I've had a heard a lot of promises what they

578
02:58:11.279 --> 02:58:28.319
want to do. Um, but there's only so much that they can promise with really no no proof, [sighs and gasps] no no planning. They they've not planned for traffic. They've not planned for water. They've not planned for the

579
02:58:28.319 --> 02:58:42.640
infrastructure. The infrastructure is going to be required from the surrounding community to pay for the fire, the ambulance, the police, um the the roadway improvements. The developer is not going to pay for all

580
02:58:42.640 --> 02:58:59.760
that. Um so I guess when I say that all I've heard is a lot of words from them, the word that means the most to me is impact. What impact is all that they want to do going to have on all of us if you live

581
02:58:59.760 --> 02:59:14.960
in this area is going to impact you? The water flows south. The aquafer flows south. And I know that we've talked a lot about water, but that is a huge concern. When Milton came through my house, and I live on four and a half acres, [clears throat] three of it is wetland.

582
02:59:14.960 --> 02:59:32.479
That wet land takes that water, soaks it up like a sponge, and spreads it around and and sends it on its way. I was trapped on my property by a foot and a half of water for 4 days after Milton. Now, praise God, my husband built our home. He built it up. So, it

583
02:59:32.479 --> 02:59:48.800
didn't get in my home, but at 1:00 in the morning when the storm came through, it was really close. So, now with all of this development, a lot of these homes, every one of them is going to have sinks, toilets, maybe some showers or or maybe some um pools. that the water

584
02:59:48.800 --> 03:00:06.000
park, all of this requires water. We need water. So, I'm afraid one of two things is going to happen. Either either we're going to flood and the the roads around me are going to flood in a normal summer storm like I got an inch and a half yesterday in my in my little area

585
03:00:06.000 --> 03:00:22.960
in half an hour or and then and it's going to flood or my well's going to dry. We just had our well rebuilt because it's 20 years old. I had to have a new pump put in. Cost me $2,500. What's going to happen if my well runs

586
03:00:22.960 --> 03:00:38.720
dry and I have to have a new one dug? How many thousands of dollars is that going to cost me? Are they going to pay for that? Do I call them and say, "Hey, you know what you did?" Because when the lady over here talks about how they're going to mitigate the flooding and her house didn't flood, well, good for her

587
03:00:38.720 --> 03:00:54.080
because the developer brought in four feet of ground and raised her house up. But what what that does for the rest of it, the water's got to go somewhere. So her house isn't going to flood, my property will.

588
03:00:54.080 --> 03:01:09.760
Please consider the impact that all that's going to do because when it comes down to it, we don't need more homes. We don't need more retail. You know, I'm continuing to be a little confused about the presentation

589
03:01:09.760 --> 03:01:27.359
uh about water because on the one hand, somebody comes up and tells me we're getting flooded and on the other hand, somebody come the other next next one tells me they can't don't have any drinking water. So, what is it? Do we have water or do we have flooding? >> You know, how can you have

590
03:01:27.359 --> 03:01:46.479
>> I don't want any conversation from I'm talking to this lady right here. You know, it's you you can't have it both ways. It's either flooding or it's not flooding. >> You know, you either have drinking water or you don't. >> That that's the >> I live in the same county. I face the

591
03:01:46.479 --> 03:02:03.200
same issues. You know, I have I've lived on a well most of my life and I've had to buy a pump, a new pump, a new tank. I even put in new wells. It's just what do you have to do when you live on on a well? >> I understand that. You can't expect, you

592
03:02:03.200 --> 03:02:19.200
know, Mr. Engel there to buy you a new well anytime yours goes bad. And where you chose to live is a place that floods naturally. Nobody else around there created that flood. And so if the water comes into your house, is that our

593
03:02:19.200 --> 03:02:35.359
fault? Is that my fault? No. You chose to live there. >> My >> people come here every day and and they want to live. We're not allowed to require them to have a passport. my my property doesn't >> might have to find some place for them if we're going to allow them to come in

594
03:02:35.359 --> 03:02:51.760
here. If you can develop a way to stop people from coming to Florida, then you know it's a lot easier to deal with it. But because you came here and most of the people in the this room came here, there was no there was nobody before you

595
03:02:51.760 --> 03:03:08.960
came. Maybe they didn't want you here. Maybe they didn't want me here. I've been here I know I've been here longer than most people in this room and I I've and my family's been here longer than most people in this room. My father was the first child born in Newport Richie.

596
03:03:08.960 --> 03:03:25.760
So I know how long I've been here and we we all have these these problems we have to deal with with people coming to Florida because everybody loves Florida. They either love Florida or Texas or that's where people are going these days.

597
03:03:25.760 --> 03:03:41.520
What are you supposed to do? I I If you own property and you want to sell your property, why should your neighbor decide who you're going to sell it to? You're the one that has the investment. What I'm saying is what I'm trying to

598
03:03:41.520 --> 03:03:57.920
tell you is there's two sides to every coin. So you can't just come up here and make statements about water and transportation and things when you don't really have any facts. It's just what you feel. Every day I get on this road,

599
03:03:57.920 --> 03:04:15.439
too. You know how long it takes me to get from here to Newport Richie? A long time. You know how much I get paid to do this? Nothing. You know, somebody brought up the idea that we, you know, why do we have these meetings at 1:00? Well, it's my work day, too. I have a business, but I

600
03:04:15.439 --> 03:04:32.160
choose to volunteer my time to be here to try to solve these problems. You know, I have people that get leave the leave these meetings mad at me. They think I'm getting rich off of it. You know, it's

601
03:04:32.160 --> 03:04:47.920
you got to be open a little bit open-minded about it. Other people there's a lot of people in this room that don't want this, but there's a lot of people that aren't in this room that do want it. So, we have to consider both. And I just want you to understand it

602
03:04:47.920 --> 03:05:04.960
because I ask you, don't keep bringing up water unless you have some real technical knowledge that we need to hear. But yet, everybody keeps coming up and talking about water. We've, you know, I'm trying to tell you that if you

603
03:05:04.960 --> 03:05:21.160
come up here again and talk about water, I'm I'm not going to let you talk about it. had enough about water unless you have some technical knowledge about water. So, thank you. Who's next?

604
03:05:23.200 --> 03:05:52.960
>> It's you. Come on. 5839 Frontier Drive, Zephr Hills, Florida, quarter mile of P County line. I'm going to talk about water because I have a degree in hydraulic.

605
03:05:52.960 --> 03:06:07.439
>> You better have some serious information about it. That's all I'm telling you. >> Oh, I do. >> All right. >> I do. I do. Um there's a Florida statute that states that the local and state governments are

606
03:06:07.439 --> 03:06:25.200
required to provide people with portable drinking water. >> Which statute number is that? >> I don't have it in front of me, but I can certainly send >> Well, then why are you talking about it? >> I can send it to >> you. Just anybody can say that. Give me something we can put our teeth into.

607
03:06:25.200 --> 03:06:39.439
>> Okay. All right. Well, let's go here then. Okay, I have run out of water in my shower. I've had two wells dug on my property.

608
03:06:39.439 --> 03:06:55.120
The first well dried up. Okay. The second well is as far back in the woods. They wanted to cut trees down and I would not allow them. They had to figure out a way to get their rig in there to

609
03:06:55.120 --> 03:07:13.600
pump another well. This well produced rusty sediment fililled water. Okay. I do know the aquifer is at least 20 feet below what it should be. I do

610
03:07:13.600 --> 03:07:30.800
measure springs throughout the state of Florida and Georgia and every one of them are getting lower and lower. Governor Brian Kemp and I are currently corresponding regarding how Georgia's water is being

611
03:07:30.800 --> 03:07:48.080
affected by the 33 milliong lagoons being built. Now a water park being built. Okay. Now let me give you some facts about water parks. >> Can I stop you for a second? Make sure she gets

612
03:07:48.080 --> 03:08:03.279
>> the clock. >> Yep, she can stop the clock. How are the lagoons in Pasco County affecting the water in Georgia? Cuz the last I checked, Florida was suing Georgia for water problems.

613
03:08:03.279 --> 03:08:20.720
>> Well, >> that's exactly right. >> Let me just say this. There are a lot of lawsuits going on right now. >> Well, get it right. That's only that's our only point. Don't come up here and make a statement that you can't verify.

614
03:08:20.720 --> 03:08:35.680
If you'd give me more time than three minutes. >> No, I'm not. >> No, of course you're not. >> But you're not bringing any facts here. >> You all don't want to know the truth. >> Oh, yeah. We're up here conspiring against a generational Pasco County

615
03:08:35.680 --> 03:08:52.160
resident. Okay. My father was not a My grandfather, my greatgrandfather were not people with a lot of money. They were farmers. Hey, none of us had a lot of money. >> We'll see.

616
03:08:52.160 --> 03:09:09.920
>> What does that have to do with it? >> What does that mean? That's my research. Anyway, just for people out there that know that um 900 million gallons a day go to the new

617
03:09:09.920 --> 03:09:25.520
developments who are watering the new landscaping that is going in. I know this because I live on a road where I see puddles every day and think, "Oh my god, it rained when no, it's not rain.

618
03:09:25.520 --> 03:09:43.120
It's their sprinklers running into the road instead of onto the plants, the trees that they've already had to remove and replace. So, the bottom line here is there is really no reason to add an adventure island to

619
03:09:43.120 --> 03:09:58.960
Pasco County. You're going to add traffic to two-lane roadways that do is not even your time's up to look at. >> Okay. Time's up. >> And I will get you your information and >> Okay. Just make sure you

620
03:09:58.960 --> 03:10:18.640
>> verify it. >> I will verify it. >> Is there anybody [laughter] else? >> Anybody else that wants to speak? >> Okay. The applicant Hope you made a lot of notes.

621
03:10:18.640 --> 03:10:35.040
>> I did. I did. Mr. Chairman, before I I start responding to some of the general stuff, I do have Joe Simino, uh, our one of our project engineers with Water Resources Associates, and he can answer a lot of these questions if you'd like to get into them. Clearly, there are a

622
03:10:35.040 --> 03:10:52.240
lot of just generalizations. Okay, Joe, if you would come up and and try to we can uh provide answers on the amount of water that the surf park will use. Obviously, when it comes to flooding and things of this nature, we have to follow all of the same storm water rules that

623
03:10:52.240 --> 03:11:08.240
everybody follows at the county and with swift mud. One thing I think it's important for our neighbors to know and maybe that they don't know this, uh that this whole project uses reclaimed water. So, a lot of the large landscaping areas

624
03:11:08.240 --> 03:11:24.000
and and water usage that you normally worry about with portable water, we're on a reclaimed system here. >> So, that's not the same as using portable water. >> That's the way they do those ponds. Is that right? Circulate the water and reuse it.

625
03:11:24.000 --> 03:11:41.200
>> Different different than reuse water. >> Good. Good afternoon, everyone. Uh Joe Simino with Water Resource Associates 12363 Hampton Park Boulevard, Tampa, Florida 33624. Um I got to say it, I don't know if you guys were thinking this, hats off to Gabriel. He came up

626
03:11:41.200 --> 03:11:56.640
with the math. Um >> I've never been able to get up here when I was that age and do this. So that was that was pretty amazing. Um his math wasn't too far off, but it was on a 35 acre lagoon. And that's understandable because the bullet points up there all

627
03:11:56.640 --> 03:12:13.040
say 35 acre surf park. This is a 6 acre lagoon. It's smaller than Marada. It's smaller than Eperson. Uh and that's what we're dealing with here. So it's not a 35 acre lagoon. And hopefully that eases some concerns. Um what we want to get

628
03:12:13.040 --> 03:12:29.200
into here is some of the math. That's what you've asked for. And what I'm going to speak today is specifically the Southwest Florida Water Management District water use permitting that we need to do to withdraw water from the ground to fill and operate the surf park. I'm going to throw out a number.

629
03:12:29.200 --> 03:12:45.760
Um it's a it's a recirculating system and I'm going to throw out a number of 8,000 gallons per day. I'm going to compare that to some things for context and then I'm going to get into what makes up that 8,000 gallons per day. Um, we've [clears throat] heard a lot about golf courses mostly because we've heard

630
03:12:45.760 --> 03:13:01.439
a lot about AI data parks and they've been compared to golf courses. Um, but we've got some very solid numbers. We've all been working with about 300,000 gallons per day on a golf course. Um, a medium data center or a small data center. Once you get into the larger

631
03:13:01.439 --> 03:13:18.000
data centers, 500,000 gallons per day up to a million gallons per day. So, the way that compares to 800,000 gallons per day is it's 37 times less than a typical Florida golf course, 37 times less than a midsize data center,

632
03:13:18.000 --> 03:13:34.960
65 times less uh than a 100 megawatt data center, and 100 times less than some of the large AI campuses that we've all been hearing about. If we compare that to common everyday uses, that equates that 8,000 gallons equates to approximately 37 single family homes, 46

633
03:13:34.960 --> 03:13:50.479
multif family homes, and a little more than 50,000 square ft of commercial office building. Surf Lagoon serves about a,000 people based on the projections. Golf per year, I'm sorry, per day. Golf course 100 to 250.

634
03:13:50.479 --> 03:14:05.520
Residential 100 homes, 138 homes. So what we're basically looking at is something that's 37 times less than some of those uses. Um um 100 times less than some of the big

635
03:14:05.520 --> 03:14:21.439
scary AI data center uses and it serves almost 10 times as many people as some of those uses. So let's get into that 8,000 gallons per day. We've got Marada, we've got Eper, we've got Lake Hideway that's to the north in Hernando. We've got Southshore to the south in

636
03:14:21.439 --> 03:14:38.319
Hillsboro. This is not a new thing. These new lagoons were a different conversation 10 years ago. Now they are a known quantity. The water management district permitting requires extensive research, reporting, um, and analysis to come up with what these uses are going

637
03:14:38.319 --> 03:14:55.200
to require to operate and replenish every day. What we're coming up with, and it's based on known numbers, known evaporation, known rainfall, swift numbers for that. um spill out, splash out, talking about a quarter of a gallon per person. Um so it's it's not

638
03:14:55.200 --> 03:15:11.439
extensive. And what we're coming up with is about 1,300 gallons per day per acre on all those other permits. That's what's coming out. So if you, you know, take the lake hideway 3.5 acres, Marada 16 acres, Eperson 8 acres, Southshore 5

639
03:15:11.439 --> 03:15:28.319
acres, the operational quantities that SwiftMUD is is vetting through lots of data and issuing permits based on is about 1300 gallons per day per acre. That's where we're extrapolating our six acres to around 8,000 gallons per day.

640
03:15:28.319 --> 03:15:45.200
Um, as we all know, rainfall uh throughout the year basically offsets evaporation, not in the peak times, but on average throughout the year. And then again, minor losses through treatment systems, splash out and leakage, which is more of a problem up in Hernando when we're many, many, many feet above the

641
03:15:45.200 --> 03:15:59.920
water table where here everything's pretty much going to be equalized with the water table. Um, so just to summarize all that, golf courses and data centers are significant users compared to anything like this by

642
03:15:59.920 --> 03:16:16.720
probably three dozen times. Uh, for for small data centers and golf courses, large data centers, we're talking a hundred times less or 100 times more. Um, surf parks going to serve about 10 times more the amount of people is that. And then again, the surf park water use,

643
03:16:16.720 --> 03:16:33.279
it's it's one of the lowest water demands among public recreation water use when you look at these things like golf courses. Um, so that's the ma math. That's the data on the, uh, the daily operational usage. Uh, the filling,

644
03:16:33.279 --> 03:16:48.080
because I know that's come up again, a 35 acre lagoon would be gargantuan. What we're talking about is a 6acre lagoon. It's 8 million gallons. That sounds like a big number. You could say it like 8 million gallons because it sounds like a

645
03:16:48.080 --> 03:17:02.880
big number. To put that into context, if you take the surf park area and just the portions of the NPU that are around it, the the commercial, the the multif family, the out parcels along 56, everything that's directly around it,

646
03:17:02.880 --> 03:17:18.720
that's about 120 acres. 8 million gallons pulled from the ground for that initial fill is two and a half inches over that 120 acres and it's not instantaneously evaporated from the groundwater system.

647
03:17:18.720 --> 03:17:34.560
Part of the permit half of the analysis is how many gallons a day can we use to fill it up so that we have zero impact on anything outside our property boundaries. So that two and a half inches of the groundwater table over that just the nearest area around it on

648
03:17:34.560 --> 03:17:51.040
site, it gets done over three-week period. Two week, 3 week, it all depends on what the data says. So the water management district polices this. They've now got four under their belt and every single one of them, I can tell you going through the data, the

649
03:17:51.040 --> 03:18:06.000
reporting was the first one, the second one, the third one, and now they're like PhD thesis. Um, it's impressive how what once was new is now a known quantity and uh you don't just get to turn on the faucet and fill it whenever you want, however fast you want. That's even

650
03:18:06.000 --> 03:18:22.399
regulated too. Two and a half inches over that area. >> I appreciate that. That's very offers some clarification to me and I'm sure it does for the rest of the group here. >> Mr. Chairman, I just wanted to say one more thing and then you know if there

651
03:18:22.399 --> 03:18:38.000
are questions we could answer them. But the the question was posed by one of the the the neighbors, one of the speakers I should say. You know, what has changed since 2008? What did we do? How, you know, why are we doing this? Well, what

652
03:18:38.000 --> 03:18:53.840
happened was since 2008, the county did a countywide study and adopted an urban service area. The county also adopted around that same time rural areas that were worthy of protection and are not

653
03:18:53.840 --> 03:19:10.160
intended to have more intense or higher density areas. This is in the urban service area. The county also adopted the south market area with the specific intensification and densification goals I mentioned earlier. The county then

654
03:19:10.160 --> 03:19:25.840
approved the plan development and MPUD for this project. The developer then at its cost built all of the water, sewer, and reclaim services, the master lines down 56 that serve the whole project as

655
03:19:25.840 --> 03:19:43.120
well as the on-site facilities. The county and the developer then were the driving force to get State Road 56 extension built. It did not exist, but for this project, we built and I'm still very proud of it to this day.

656
03:19:43.120 --> 03:20:00.800
Maybe this and Angeline may be the things I'm the most proud of in my career. We built a 6.13 mile four-lane road in a head of development. We did it for this project. This was the main reason we did it working together. Uh we also uh went out

657
03:20:00.800 --> 03:20:17.040
and built at this point we've built or in the process of building all of the vision roads in the project for no fee credits. If this project was in VOP or connected city, we would be entitled to millions and millions of fee credits.

658
03:20:17.040 --> 03:20:34.160
And we also dedicated right away for 56 Morris Bridge Road and 301, most of which for zero compensation. That would not be the case in certain other areas of the county. So, what have we been doing since 2008? We've been planning to get just to this point. And the county's

659
03:20:34.160 --> 03:20:50.479
goal is for us to build this project out as well as we can. We're going to have a full strata of uh workingclass people and some multif family projects on down to people living in million-doll homes in here. And that's what the county

660
03:20:50.479 --> 03:21:07.840
wants. And furthermore, because the facilities are already in place, the the higherend the more higherend homes and the more commercial we can build in here, it ignores to the county's financial interest, especially if this

661
03:21:07.840 --> 03:21:23.120
real estate proposal passes in the fall because we're going to be in the high-end strata and it will be much much better for the county than having an entry-level project. So that's what we've been doing the last 18 years

662
03:21:23.120 --> 03:21:39.920
planning to get to this point. >> Okay. Um >> so clerk I have a question. >> Um I actually thought Miss Hazelwood made the best comment of all. She deserves that award you gave [laughter] >> because she didn't talk about water. Um

663
03:21:39.920 --> 03:21:56.399
>> thank you. >> Thank you. [laughter] Um how do we what's the guarantee that we're not going to be underwhelmed by the surf port? Um because I because I'm looking at the conditions here and it doesn't really have a lot of details about >> this surf park. It's very general. All

664
03:21:56.399 --> 03:22:12.319
it says is really that it won't be a lagoon. >> I can have got a very nice PowerPoint about it, but none of that's really in the condition. >> Yeah, it's it's it's a difficult thing to do. We haven't done that in our other MPDs that had the other similar or not

665
03:22:12.319 --> 03:22:27.520
similar that had lagoons and stuff like that. You and I tried to create a condition to memorialize what this is that it's intended to be regional in nature. All I can tell you is Tony's here. He can speak and give you as much details you'd like about what his plans

666
03:22:27.520 --> 03:22:42.319
are. We are, you know, we have a contract with Tony for him to build the park as it's proposed on these boards. We have no other plans. There is no backup plan. If Tony does not build that, we will not have a surf park

667
03:22:42.319 --> 03:22:59.520
there. Um, so you know, he can explain in as great a detail. He has investors. He has a business plan. They've been patiently waiting. And one of the things I should say also, some of the neighbors, and we go through this water stuff and drought and too much water in these periods. We filed this amendment

668
03:22:59.520 --> 03:23:15.200
over two years ago, and I'm really sorry that it came up during a drought period, but it did. But I thought it was going to be, you know, maybe a year less time, but the countyy's very busy is all I can say. Would you like Tony to speak to the

669
03:23:15.200 --> 03:23:30.960
surf park, David? I mean, I don't >> I want to describe it. >> The reason I think Miss Hazelwood made a comment is because I made a very similar comment when I was reviewing this. It's easy to give a lot of words, but without the language that sort of

670
03:23:30.960 --> 03:23:45.920
guarantees we're going to get what he's saying verbally all I mean I'm looking at condition 41N it doesn't necessarily require anything other than a big hole in the ground but it's a surf

671
03:23:45.920 --> 03:24:02.000
park and it doesn't require all the stuff that he's saying verbally >> right and so >> I mean I'm happy to work with you after planning commission if there's additional verb verbage for I thought everybody was happy on staff about it. I I guess >> I was never happy with this language and I made that very clear to staff.

672
03:24:02.000 --> 03:24:17.920
>> Okay. I did not know that. >> And Miss Hazelwood, that's why I thought you made a very good point because it I support the surf park and I support what he's saying verbally, >> right? >> But the language that's written here doesn't necessarily require what he's

673
03:24:17.920 --> 03:24:34.880
saying verbally. >> Okay. >> All it requires is a big lake that isn't a lagoon. I I am I'm I am happy to work with you to try to come up with more language to identify what it is that Tony intends to build. I mean, it's intended to be a tourist destination

674
03:24:34.880 --> 03:24:52.560
that has a a mixture of uses that can include hotels and all the other things. And I'm happy to flesh that out more in writing. I didn't realize that that you weren't satisfied. So >> it might be it might be good for the benefit of people that are here to let

675
03:24:52.560 --> 03:25:06.880
county >> we we do have time by the way you know this has to go to the state so we have like like two and a half months to do this. >> Yeah. I all I'm saying is that if we're going to be giving up some nice office

676
03:25:06.880 --> 03:25:23.040
industrial land and you know it's going to be this great tourism draw. I agree with Miss Hazlewood that let's get this if it's going to be this great attraction, let's get what we're being promised. >> We have no objection to that. That's that's our intention as well. We're

677
03:25:23.040 --> 03:25:38.479
intending on Tony doing that for EPG, the master development. >> Is this the standard six-year MPUD buildout time frame? >> Um, can you speak up in the mic? I'm sorry. I said, "Is this the standard

678
03:25:38.479 --> 03:25:54.319
six-year MPUD buildout time frame?" >> They have a different buildout period. >> What's the time frame? >> 2035. They're saying, Mr. >> I should I should also say just for the benefit of of our neighbors, we we did

679
03:25:54.319 --> 03:26:10.800
take uh some of the mobility fees and their program for improvements to Morris Bridge Road. So it's basically everything from 54 south to almost to the county line will be four lane between what this developer's doing or

680
03:26:10.800 --> 03:26:27.120
the what we call the impound fund is for the county to forlane the section 56 up to Chanse or down >> I think it's is it fair to say because I think one of the one of the concerns that I can't remember your name man in

681
03:26:27.120 --> 03:26:45.200
the blue shirt back there um I I think it was him that said about the uh roads. That was the thing he was most concerned about, the roadways and the and the those types of improvements. And all that comes with impact fees. And um

682
03:26:45.200 --> 03:27:01.600
without you might want to touch on that because I think a lot of people don't know that without impact fees, the county has no money to make those kind of improvements. So we're sort of behind the eightball. We that's why we have to >> think about the county the county funds

683
03:27:01.600 --> 03:27:18.640
its roadway improvements through a system of several different for uh uh sources. One of the larger of which is mobility fees. And as mentioned from this project, it's estimated that it'll generate around $50 million in mobility fees. And of that, about 9 million are

684
03:27:18.640 --> 03:27:34.239
programmed to go in improvements for Morris Bridge Road. It will be up to the county to determine where the remainder of those funds go. They could be for parallel roads. They could be for other improvements in the area that alleviate some of the 301 effects that we see

685
03:27:34.239 --> 03:27:50.160
today. I will say the I the last time I looked at at our plan, the uh 301 segment between 56 and Chansy I think is number two on our priority list. Um, and that's something that the DOT reps, you

686
03:27:50.160 --> 03:28:06.479
know, sit on our NO board and and work on that stuff together. I'll also say because I'm told by Steve Henry that their conversations ongoing with DOT that we are looking at a series of interim improvements uh for the intersection of 56 and 301 right now.

687
03:28:06.479 --> 03:28:21.680
And that may include four laning segments going north uh sooner than the the DOT timeline. just something we're working on right now there, but there not isn't anything in writing and I I believe it's the county staff's position

688
03:28:21.680 --> 03:28:39.279
that you know 301 and I don't want to speak for county staff but it's you know a DOT road and the county is expecting that DOT funds would be used for the improvements on 301. We would expect to work together through the no process but generally that would be a state DOT

689
03:28:39.279 --> 03:28:55.439
funded project. Mr. Goldstein can correct me if I'm saying that wrong. No, I think that's right. >> Okay. >> Did you want to hear from Nate? Um, >> can we hear Yes. Can we hear from >> Well, I'm okay if want to hear from him. I'm more concerned about the wording than I

690
03:28:55.439 --> 03:29:11.760
>> Well, that's what I want to get to. David, >> I just want to make sure public has an >> Can he have his developer come up here and specifically describe what makes a surf park? Sure. >> Versus a Marada or Eper Lagoon. Absolutely. What What it is?

691
03:29:11.760 --> 03:29:29.120
>> Come on up. Yeah, I think it's a good idea. some bullet points. You >> bet. Um, so a couple things around the surf park that's very different than what you're going to see with the lagoons. Lagoons are very passive. There was a lot of problems with, I believe, how they got funded um through um people

692
03:29:29.120 --> 03:29:45.200
that lived there. They they were using HOA fees. This is and then they let the general public in. This is something that is not that in any way. Um we are privately funding this. We're not asking any residents. >> That's not what I'm getting to. Okay. >> What what makes a surf park a surf park?

693
03:29:45.200 --> 03:30:00.560
You've got a machine that generates waves. You got so many linear feet of beach. The waves are going to be so high. I'm going to have x many square feet of concession stands and hotel rooms or what? What is this? >> Yeah. So, uh all of that um so the in

694
03:30:00.560 --> 03:30:17.359
terms of the surfing, we are able to get about um about 100 surfers an hour through and they're all going to catch 10 waves. These are legitimate ocean quality waves. I think that this is going to be most impactful for people that have never surfed before, that

695
03:30:17.359 --> 03:30:34.080
would be afraid to go out in the ocean. Ocean surfing is very difficult. People think that they can just go out into the ocean and go surfing. A lot of people are afraid of sharks. It's intimidating. There's a whole host of reasons why it's difficult. This allows for people to come in and do beginner waves, intermediate waves. You're going to see

696
03:30:34.080 --> 03:30:50.800
a lot of kids participating in this. They're going to start off. You're going to have high school surf teams. You will have youth sports. So you have club surf just like you have club softball, club soccer. So we will make surfing democratized to a whole host of people that will be coming in. Surfing is

697
03:30:50.800 --> 03:31:06.479
different than going to adventure. Somebody said adventure island. That's a thrill and nobody does a thrill that often. This is a skill. A skill is something people come back for and they want to do over and over again. So it's vastly different than just at a a water park. It's not that at all. And it's

698
03:31:06.479 --> 03:31:23.279
certainly not a large lagoon that's essentially a large pool. uh like what you've seen with the other lagoons around that. It allows you an opportunity to now create a much bigger guest experience for the people that are there. You can create uh a whole food and beverage scene as I mentioned before. You can create other activities

699
03:31:23.279 --> 03:31:39.120
that people can do, concerts, uh things for them to dwell and stay, extend that time. I've got a hospitality background. So, everything that we're going to do in here is about the guest experience. It's from the beginning to the end. And I've been working on this project for five years. It's going to be another two to

700
03:31:39.120 --> 03:31:55.040
three before we have this thing built. There's been a lot of time, effort going into this. So, what you're seeing there is our best version of this and we are tied in with the developer. They don't get some of the things that they want unless we get the Surf Park built. So, there's no guarantees in life, but we're

701
03:31:55.040 --> 03:32:11.600
trying to make sure that what you're looking for is what you're going to get. What we're telling you is what we're going to provide. Again, I am not one of the developers that has done the lagoons. This is I am somebody who's got a vision to be a long-term operator of

702
03:32:11.600 --> 03:32:27.359
this and I'm going to put that together in a way where it's going to be successful. So, I can get into I can go down a lot of rabbit holes in terms of the surf park. I don't think everybody in here wants me to do that. I can tell you of the 510 jobs that somebody asked before what kind of jobs we're going to

703
03:32:27.359 --> 03:32:43.200
have. We're going to have engineering jobs. We're going to have marketing jobs. We're going to have finance jobs. We're going to have HR jobs. We're going to have hospitality jobs. There's not a single person in my proform that's making less than or not a person making minimum wage. They're all making something above minimum wage. This is a

704
03:32:43.200 --> 03:33:00.720
long-term uh project that I've got in mind that's going to be long-term sustainable. I want my people that are going to be there all along that spectrum to be making a very good wage. I want them to have housing close by, apartments and other things so that they can live close by. And that's also part

705
03:33:00.720 --> 03:33:17.040
of the appeal of the whole Two Rivers development and some of the additional. >> How long will it take you to develop a plan submitt to be able to submit construction plans for site plans and building permit approvals to the county? >> We've been working on that right now uh

706
03:33:17.040 --> 03:33:33.279
all the way through. A lot of that is working with Eisenhower Property Group. They're doing a lot of the horizontal work that's you know tied into what we're doing. We've been talking through drainage. We've been talking through uh utilities. We were talking about all that horizontal work to answer your question. I mean it's it's a little bit

707
03:33:33.279 --> 03:33:48.880
speculative right now because every time I think that we are at a certain place there becomes another thing that we have to address. Um I thought we were going to have entitlements delivered a long time ago. So we're part of a much bigger package. >> Let me tell you where I'm trying to go with it. >> Okay.

708
03:33:48.880 --> 03:34:03.520
>> All right. What I'm looking at is h I would like to know how long it will take for you to put construction plans in place ready to submit. I know they may not be approved

709
03:34:03.520 --> 03:34:22.399
that day, but ready to submit. And where I'm headed with this, David, is and why I asked about the buildout time for the MPUD. Usually when an MPUD expires, well, you expire with no entitlement. you've lost that entitlement. And what I'm looking at is

710
03:34:22.399 --> 03:34:38.960
can we have some kind of condition where if this isn't built within a certain amount of time that meets a certain standard that that reverts back to the commercial and industrial entitlement that it was before. >> I if I might I I think I heard him start

711
03:34:38.960 --> 03:34:54.080
to make a list of the things that it would include and I think that's the first thing that we ought to try to get at. I think that's what you asked. Well, the the only thing I got definitively was 100 surfers per hour and 10 waves per surfer. That's all I got. >> I'll I'll just go I'll I'll go from from

712
03:34:54.080 --> 03:35:11.120
where I'm I'm going here and we can work off of this. And he's got to tell me whether he can do these things. This is not scripted here. What I'm hearing is that a privately funded and and maybe this is the wrong term, but a privately funded tourist attraction, surfingbased

713
03:35:11.120 --> 03:35:26.720
tourist attraction that would include a lagoon with a machine that generates waves that's designed to uh serve up to 100 surfers per hour and

714
03:35:26.720 --> 03:35:42.560
would include a beach and will include a venue for outdoor music or festivals and may include hotels. That's what I' I've heard him say so far. >> Okay, I appreciate >> it's open to the open to the public.

715
03:35:42.560 --> 03:35:57.680
>> It would be Yeah, it's open to the public >> and privately funded. >> Be a little bit more specific on that because I didn't realize that's what you were looking for. We have currently built into the plan 150 ft boutique hotel. That's currently what we're looking to do. We have about uh 12,000

716
03:35:57.680 --> 03:36:13.520
square feet of of retail planned for the thing. We've got an additional um about 10 to 15,000 square feet for uh food and beverage. Um we've got a 1acre festival field planned for this. Um we've got

717
03:36:13.520 --> 03:36:30.479
going through my memory here. Um we've got the surf lagoon. Obviously I gave you some uh information about that. Um, we've got a 1acre um, uh, action sports park uh, built into the plan. These are all things that I've put into and are in uh, the current documentation.

718
03:36:30.479 --> 03:36:47.200
>> I would think developing a >> I think what we're worried about is, you know, a lot of this stuff's probably going to get built in phases and I don't want to get so ingrained in it that if we don't build one thing, you know, he's somehow running a foul of the intent of it. But I I I do agree that we should

719
03:36:47.200 --> 03:37:03.920
have a better definition of it and work That's what I'm trying to figure out as an outline. >> This is Yeah, this is Yeah, that's right. But if you if planning commission would permit me, I'd rather work with staff to try to create the kind of condition that we're we're going to do now that I understand what you're looking for.

720
03:37:03.920 --> 03:37:21.120
>> Is David is would it be appropriate and I know you sort of the oxymoron, but some sort of binding concept plan for a surf park? I mean, that would that would also address the concern. I just don't know if they

721
03:37:21.120 --> 03:37:36.319
they're they've gotten far enough along to do that. I mean, because that's >> we could just show that as the concept plan that's intended to be reflected in that concept plan, but I'd also rather put some words in there to make it clear that he doesn't have to build absolutely

722
03:37:36.319 --> 03:37:51.920
everything on there and he doesn't have to build it all at once. >> Well, we understand, >> but we want to have some >> That's why I said the term's an oxymoron, a binding concept plan. We've had that debate in here before, but >> but I'm not sure any binding concept plan requires them to build everything on the plan, but it just says if you build, you're going to build in

723
03:37:51.920 --> 03:38:08.399
accordance with this plan. >> Yeah, I I I don't view this as Yeah, in any event, I would work with staff on that on that condition. And again, I'm hearing more today about the level of detail than I was even aware going into the hearing. So, I'm happy to flesh this out with Tony on it. And and to your

724
03:38:08.399 --> 03:38:24.720
point, Mr. Mr. Moody, I think if and I don't know what the private arrangement is and the timelines of when he's got to build with Eisenhower, but if you're saying that, you know, by the expiration of the current MPU, if he doesn't build that, you know, or build some portion of

725
03:38:24.720 --> 03:38:40.800
it, whatever we fleshed this out to be, it could go back to the other uses and should go back to the other uses. I don't think we'd have an objection to that as to the surf park area. >> Good. I'd have to I need to double check with Eisenhower, but I mean, we're trying to get this done because we feel

726
03:38:40.800 --> 03:38:56.640
like the surf park's for the betterment of the area and our project as a whole. >> I just um my concern is you've been working on this on and off for 18 years, you know, and it's evidently the neighbors don't have a good idea what's

727
03:38:56.640 --> 03:39:12.319
going on there. I just think we need to do a better I better make a better effort to communicate with them. So, because There's a lot of misinformation flying around and that just makes our job harder. >> Yeah, completely understood. Uh,

728
03:39:12.319 --> 03:39:28.800
>> you know, they think there's going to be a big lagoon, 35 acre lagoon and we're talking about an 8,000 square 8,000 uh square foot pool or 6acre pool. You know, that's >> I I will I will hit on that in this condition and make it more definitive.

729
03:39:28.800 --> 03:39:44.720
And again, my apologies that we weren't spe more specific on it. I just honestly >> it just creates problems that we don't need. >> It's a it's it's a new thing. So it's kind of hard for David and I to describe some of the stuff. But >> thought you could do it. >> We will do that. >> Well, I mean the other thing Clark is

730
03:39:44.720 --> 03:40:00.800
you mentioned about the existing conditions related to what you have to do regarding the headarters of the Hillsboro River and protecting them. I mean, that's information that if maybe if you actually publicize what you have to do already,

731
03:40:00.800 --> 03:40:15.600
>> right? >> That would be helpful for these residents to know, >> right? Fair enough. I mean, and and and again, some of the folks who are here today, I think, are of more of a regional nature than a neighborhood nature, but that doesn't mean that they have invalid concerns about the river

732
03:40:15.600 --> 03:40:31.279
and stuff like that. This is incredibly important to our region. We're in a drought and everybody's understandably worried about these things. I'm not trying to minimize it. I just know that I I you know having to watch my dad be one of the people that got Tampa Bay water created. We have a robust system

733
03:40:31.279 --> 03:40:48.800
here with alternative sources and Tampa Bay Water reintegrated again about a month ago. There is no water shortage within the Tampa Bay water system. They're constantly adding adapting things and we have room to grow. Uh >> Mark, I hear I hear you. I hear you.

734
03:40:48.800 --> 03:41:07.200
But it's hard to tell the public there's no water shortage when a restaurant cannot legally serve a glass of water unless it is specifically requested for. Okay. And again, I don't know what and I will publicly say that >> came up with that policy. All you do is

735
03:41:07.200 --> 03:41:21.760
scare the public. >> That's right. >> That's foolish. >> I agree. >> Okay. And I've been through periods of flood and I've been through periods of drought. And I'm praying to God that when El Nino delivers its thing this winter that this drought is going to be

736
03:41:21.760 --> 03:41:40.080
history. But >> the public's dealing with it on a day. >> The public is told they can't water their yard. The public is told if you're if you're a restaurant owner, you can't serve water. Well, how can they not be concerned about water? >> And again, I don't blame them. If you're

737
03:41:40.080 --> 03:41:55.680
if you're like me and you live over on the coast and you live west of the Sun Coast Parkway, we're in a worse drought than you've ever seen. My my property looks like a sand lot, right? >> There's nothing living there because we've had zil zilch for rain, right?

738
03:41:55.680 --> 03:42:14.040
>> What What else do you expect these people to think? >> Again, I I I I'm not giving short trip to their concerns. I understand. >> Thank you. >> Okay. >> We appreciate it. >> Thank you. All right.

739
03:42:15.760 --> 03:42:35.840
Think we've heard a lot of testimony today. Do we have a motion? >> I'll make a motion to approve >> for you. You want to incorporate that sub subject to the >> uh yes agreed >> language? I Yes. I'd like to add to that motion that between

740
03:42:35.840 --> 03:42:53.120
now and the time this gets to the board that the legal council and developers will work with our future, very future almost [laughter] county attorney to um

741
03:42:53.120 --> 03:43:08.640
better [clears throat] describe in the conditions of approval and attach some sort of binding concept plan that gives an accurate picture and description of the surf park we're being sold here today.

742
03:43:08.640 --> 03:43:23.840
>> John, I'll second that. But I'll also I I just want to remind people that were here that we're here speaking. I think you heard Clark hit on it a little bit that I think I heard somebody get up and say, "How can all this be done without a plan?" Um there's been a whole lot of

743
03:43:23.840 --> 03:43:38.720
planning that's gone on, even talking about the the modifications and the increases and the entitlements they're here to ask for today. None of this is ever done willy-nilly. I mean, I think Clark's probably been two years they've been working on this at least this this modification. They probably have way

744
03:43:38.720 --> 03:43:55.120
more than that in work with Joe Joe hit on how long it takes to get through the surf park stuff. I mean, there's been planning done to get to this point and there will be a whole lot more planning and a whole lot more eyes on this stuff moving forward. Nothing's going to just pop up and obviously cause problems

745
03:43:55.120 --> 03:44:11.680
further thought. >> That's something that I don't think the public understands. This hearing is only to discuss whether we're going to give them the right to make an application to actually build this. Okay? They still have to get plan

746
03:44:11.680 --> 03:44:29.920
approvals, detailed engineered plan approvals from our local government, from our state government, and if it involves waters of the United States, from the federal government. And then the other thing I want to talk about too is you come in here and you

747
03:44:29.920 --> 03:44:46.960
tell us about needing to be consistent or that this is not consistent with the comprehensive plan. Yet not one person cited one comprehensive plan policy that this development is inconsistent with.

748
03:44:46.960 --> 03:45:03.199
You got to do your homework if you want to come here because I want to read something to you. All right. In our comprehensive plan, these are the quasi judicial application standards of review. All right. Once the

749
03:45:03.199 --> 03:45:20.640
staff recommends approval, at this point the burden shifts to the governmental board to demonstrate that maintaining the existing zon zoning classification with respect to the property or denial of the quasi judicial application accomplishes a legitimate

750
03:45:20.640 --> 03:45:35.359
public purpose. In effect, the landowner's traditional remedies will be subsumed within this rule, and the board of county commissioners will now have the burden of showing that the refusal to reszone the property or the denial of the application is not arbitrary,

751
03:45:35.359 --> 03:45:53.120
discriminatory, or unreasonable. You have to come up here and cite policies in this comprehensive plan that show this is not consistent. Otherwise, I'm being arbitrary, discriminatory, or unreasonable. You got to do a little bit

752
03:45:53.120 --> 03:46:08.880
more homework. It's easy to grandstand in front of the TV cameras. And I got to tell you, if you got plans running for office, you're going to be really surprised when you get up to Tallahassee and understand that the Florida statutes are volumes and volumes and volumes

753
03:46:08.880 --> 03:46:24.960
thick. And the Florida Administrative Code is something you'll probably never be able to read in the entirety of your life. Also, you need to be careful when you talk about amendment three because on a project like this because almost

754
03:46:24.960 --> 03:46:42.000
every use that they're adding under this MPD amendment would not be homesteaded. >> So, be careful when you be talking about the impact of amendment three for this particular amendment. Can you repeat that?

755
03:46:42.000 --> 03:46:57.199
>> You a couple of you got up and said you talked about how the impact of amendment three uh in relation to this project, but amendment [clears throat] three is going to be giving a large tax exemption for homesteaded property. Almost every use that they're adding

756
03:46:57.199 --> 03:47:13.760
with this amendment would not be subject to homestead. It's mostly um multifamily and retail and hotel and surf park. None of that is homestead exempt. So you got to be careful when

757
03:47:13.760 --> 03:47:31.920
you start talking about the impact of amendment three on these kind of uses. >> In in addition on the entitlements as far as res residential, someone made the comment about that being greatly increased here. I pulled up a letter

758
03:47:31.920 --> 03:47:47.199
from Two Rivers from 2014. And back in 2014, the entitlements were 3875 dwelling units for single family residential, 1,400 multifamily and 1125

759
03:47:47.199 --> 03:48:04.000
age restricted. So essentially the same same residential entitlements that we're talking about right here. >> Yeah. Yeah. In fact, one of the uses that that they're reducing, um, I think a single family retirement

760
03:48:04.000 --> 03:48:18.640
>> age restricted, >> age restricted, single family is would be homestead exempt. >> Yes. >> So, it may actually be a positive what they're doing as it relates to amendment three. >> This actually may be generating more tax revenue

761
03:48:18.640 --> 03:48:33.920
than their prior proposal. So, back to Jaime's. Um, you know, this has been in the works for a long time. The school system's been planning on this for a long time, and we have, at least the school system has a plan in

762
03:48:33.920 --> 03:48:56.800
place to uh accommodate that. >> All right, we have a motion, I think. Right. >> Yep. >> In a second. Any further discussion of the motion? If not, all in favor signify by saying I >> I >> I opposed like sign.

763
03:48:56.800 --> 03:49:12.640
>> Okay. Um could you just for the sake of everybody could just clerk >> could we both items or was that just >> Oh yeah, we need to do them one at a time. >> I'm sorry. So I think my motion the motion with the amendment I made to it

764
03:49:12.640 --> 03:49:29.920
was more specific to the MPU. >> Yes, that's you're right. >> So that's number one. So that would be Mr. Chair, can we call that one to vote on P14? But I guess I can't vote on P14 before voting on P13.

765
03:49:29.920 --> 03:49:45.840
>> Yes. Why don't you start over? >> I move to approve item P13. >> Second. >> All right. Uh I have a motion and a second. Any other discussion? All in favor signify

766
03:49:45.840 --> 03:50:02.640
by saying I. opposed like sign. Now I move to approve item P14 subject to the developer and his legal council coordinating with the county

767
03:50:02.640 --> 03:50:18.800
attorney's office to draft prior to the hearing before the board to draft conditions of approval which better describe the surf park and include some sort of binding concept.

768
03:50:18.800 --> 03:50:34.239
accept plan >> second. >> All right. [clears throat] Any further discussion of the motion? All in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> Those like sign. >> Okay. Motion carries. >> Move to adjurnn.

769
03:50:34.239 --> 03:51:11.920
>> Second. >> All in favor? >> I >> I Still got that cough, huh? >> Born and raised. God's doing it.
