from agriculture estate to agriculture as the proposed amendment is consistent with the adopted goals objectives and policies of the putam county comprehensive plan compatible with the proposed zoning district and is compatible with existing development in the area any questions of staff do we have any history on why it was um rezoned to the rural residential as it sits right now so at some point I believe it was 2001 it's in the staff report I included um in there when all of that happened it was a 20 acre 24 acre parcel that was all rezoned and then at the development I think that was planned was never done and then they started splitting it off this parcel was actually the result of an illegal split um that was done by deed but they went in front of the ADC um last year and got a variance to be able to build on it regardless of a legal split ADC being in the administrative deviation committee yes Ma and do we do we have any idea why the difference in the surrounding property zoning is a and a estate is there any is that uh I'm not sure why in 2001 they wanted that 20 4 acre block to a state okay I I don't know if it was like I said supposed to be developed um by someone else and then they ended up not and just selling them off but everything surrounding that is eg except for those four Parcels that are right there okay and this one is on the outside of it it's not like it wouldn't be like in the center it wouldn't be spot zoning right okay any other questions hearing none I will close that portion of the meeting and ask is the applicant or the owners you're the applicant please come for give this your name and address good evening I'm Daniel Jones and I live at 150 Jonas Road Crescent City um so we put in this request after purchasing the property uh my wife and I with three kids we want to develop it into our residents and we started looking at the cost of building a home and would really like to put a manufactured home as opposed to a stick built or construction home um agricultural Estates does not allow for that it allows for modular and up it allows for a modular home you know on a foundation or a stick built home but it does not allow for manufactured um from my understanding that's the only difference other than some setbacks requirements as well um the setbacks are smaller for agricultural so I feel like we're kind of stepping down in use we don't plan to develop it into any other than just a six acre primary residence for ourselves um so we're trying to put manufactured on it as opposed to a modul with the ever growing and receding Lake Margaret yes okay are there other mobile homes in the area um there are some in the area not necessarily right where we're looking to put put one um the other three lots that are also AUST states are undeveloped and ours is undeveloped at the time the right to the west or east of that property there is a home with what appears to be it's a big lot with a mobile home on it but it's agricultural so um we plan to put the mobile home with all of that approved of course is putting it close to the road you know on the high and dry Parts far away from the wetlands right but it is six acres so we have a couple acres to work with thank like Margaret's higher right now than I've ever seen it yes uh but uh any other questions of Staff hearing none we thank you very much please stay around we might have more questions all right thank you at this point I'll bring it back to staff and are there or bring it back to the board are there any discussions or I would entertain a motion well do do this is I guess for staff the uh do we know if Madam chair yes sir really quickly can we just make sure there's no one in the audience that wants to speak thank you is there anyone in the audience that would like to speak for or against this thank you I'm sorry Jack thank you very much um you have a question of Staff do we know if the the um the intended development or whatever was going to go on at the time of the previous re zoning had any I don't know HOA or contractual type stuff that would prevent mobile homes in there was that would that have been we outlined in that resoning we don't know it it wasn't like going to be it wasn't developed as like a PUD so there wouldn't have been any kind of no PUD right it was just Agriculture state prob isn't well I just want to make sure we're not Avid you I don't believe there's any deed type restrictions out there that say um and even if there were we and enforce the deed restrictions right we don't but if we if we revert to an agricultural zoning that allows for mobile home after they've destricted something that was essentially rural residential at the onset and we put somebody in a we're not giving them permission for a mobile home we're just giving them permission for to be agriculture Y no I'm not saying I'm against I'm just trying to cover our bases on that okay do I hear a motion um I make a motion that we approve it um let's see Rez 24 so we I'm sorry to interrupt you we need to vote on them separately even though that we're hearing them together so we have to vote on the um future land use first which is the CPA and then do a whole another vote for the reone okay so future land use first that's CPA 24- CPA 24000000 Z5 uh recommend approval as it is consistent with goals and objectives do I have a second second okay now discussion n for me I think they answered all mine y got mine Cy um Jason what those initial C CPA CPA what does CPA stand for in the in the the title of the case case number CPA madam chair it stands for a comprehensive plan Amendment okay yeah because it's land use no this is a land use case so land use would be comprehensive plan Amendment right because we're the the applicants are petitioning to change the future land use map which is part of the future land use element of the putham county comprehensive plan so it's a CPA comp plan amendment I just never had seen that before all righty I knew that I knew that we know you did Jennifer he just spoke up before you did he did just tired of talking okay thank you anything else we have a proper motion and a proper second um please we'll call for the question anybody all in favor please signify by saying yes yes chair votes yes it's an unanimous decision uh this will now go on to the board of county commissioner on February 25th we need to now vote on case Rez which is resoning 24- 00003 and it's the same thing but it's to rezone the property we've already changed the land use now we' rezone it I I'll I'll make a motion to approve Rez 240000 z13 okay it's consistent with goals and objectives I have a second thank you Stanley any further discussion therefore all in favor please signify by saying I I chair votes I it's a unanimous decision thank you very much Mr Jones look forward to seeing what you can do out there our next case is rez2 24-15 and this is an application by Kathleen

dance studio across the street from the parcel is C2 city of Paca zoning and directly behind the parcel is R2 city of Paka zarine the subject site has a future land use designation of urban reserve the vacant parcel has approximately 150 ft of Road Frontage on South Moody Road according to the NWI Wetlands layer and the FEMA flood zone layer on the gis reference map the lands do not appear to

Committee DRC to satisfy additional development requirements the DRC will review plans to ensure the development is compliant with local state and federal development regulations other agencies including but not limited to putam County Public Works Emergency Services and the St John's River Water Management District will review plans to ensure the development will not adversely affect surrounding Properties by complying with each agency's specific regulation associated with new development aerial view future land use [Music] zoning staff recommends approval of the request to amend the zoning map from agriculture to commercial neighborhood C1 staff finds that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the goals objectives and policies of the adopted comprehensive plan and meets the locational requirements of the commercial neighborhood Hood C1 zoning District provided in the Land Development code and the comprehensive plan questions thank you questions Jennifer that's that's immediately south of the church correct it's next door to the church okay did you put the U put the map back up the aerial yes do you have it split out between Paka and the gray is all the gray areas are the city of Palaca if you all those are both commercial zoning the one behind the property um is R2 the one in front of it is all uh C2 and then uh Walmart across 19 okay that gray area correct behind it gray y gray area to the east okay m I do like our yes they're nice to see and they hold up in the wind that's always good and the rain doesn't shred them so that's good did you say if this property has Paca Water and Sewer they do not so this would be require septic it would and that's another reason they won't the city won't Annex as there's no services available there they the I believe they tried to Annex and city of Paka said you don't need toh the the boundaries between the city of Paca and the county you're going to find are just very Wiggly waggly they go all over the place so and we'll have places partly parts of putam County that are completely landlocked by by city property so um that we can't do anything about so any other questions of Jennifer okay let's see hearing none I'll ask the agent or the owner or the owner's agent to come forward a familiar face Patrick Kennedy 673 Third Avenue Waka Florida I'm here on behalf of the property owners uh Miss Kathleen Weaver Oscar Smith and Carol Smith um we obviously concur with the staff's recommendation um the only uh thing I can really offer to it is maybe just a slight bit more background uh the property owners also own the church property and they donated it to the church and so you know they are very they're they're members of that church and they're very concerned about what's going to go on in and around that church so they were careful about who they were going to sell this property too and the uses that will be located there so uh Miss Carly Dale is the one who wants to do the dance studio she already has a dance studio in the plaza the CP Deli Plaza I call it I'm not sure that's the official name but uh she's right next door there but it's kind of broken up and it's not really suiting her needs anymore she's looking for another place to locate she can tell you more about that she's here to speak if if you want to hear from her and I'm happy to take any questions you guys may have any questions of Mr Kennedy we thank you for being here sir um and if the owner would like to speak we're certainly happy to no you don't want to you don't have to okay I'm just the owner daughter the owner's daughter okay you don't have to answer questions or come forward if you don't wish to Stanley won't Grill you too bad I do have a speakers card from Carly Dale is that you Carly you want to come forward give us your name and address and uh tell us what you would like to tell us about this application uh my name is Carly Dale um the current place where my studio is is 3705 Crow Avenue um I've had the studio now for 5 years uh I opened in 2017 I think um and we've just really outgrown the space so I have one uh room right next to CP Deli and then down like the hall outside I have another building um so we're just really outgrowing the space and we need more room and uh I would like to potentially build um instead of renting and so when we found the property we just thought it was a really good place and atmosphere um with surrounding areas and we're just ready to move into something bigger and better okay and have your own parking yes yes that's a big case okay any questions of the owner we're not going to grill you today we're in a non-g grilling day mode um anyone else from the audience would like to speak okay at this point I'll bring it back to the board for discussion and or motion I move that we approve let's see where are we at this one 15 15 RZ 24000000 one5 is it is consistent with goals and objectives I know it's not completely surrounded by um commercial property there but it is actually it is obviously the intent of everything around it that that be somewhat commercial and it only makes sense to uh if we're going to grow to grow in the areas that we need to grow in and that looks like a prime spot to do what they're trying to do there so thank you do I have a second samley thank you I have a proper motion and a second um is
