good evening commissioner stephanie straer senior planner with community development tonight i'm presenting cnu 24-00003 located at 1443 belelladonna place for a commercial fence conditional use so background it is zoned highway
business and with the future land use of commercial in highway business zoning any outdoor storage is a conditional use and is required to be screened in so they are proposing to screen in their outdoor storage with a 50 foot by 14 foot opaque 8 foot tall fence with a
20ft rolling gate this is a depiction of the zoning highway business and this is a depiction of the commercial future land use so this is their provided concept plan as you can see this is the four
units that city electric occupies and this is the proposed outdoor storage area it does take up one parking space but staff has evaluated the site plan and deems that that's not going to hinder the other businesses and they did provide an updated concept plan which
you have been provided if we could get that one up on the screen so it's a little hard to see on the screen but you do have it in front of you as well with oh i apologize that is the wrong one i got i jumped the gun there a
little bit very excited is this right that that's not the right one i apologize that's the different case is the next case i apologize [Music] thank you again i apologize about that that is
the next one but uh we're recommending approval of resolution 2025-031r with the following conditions no equipment or materials shall be displayed outside of the areas identified on the concept plan fencing shall be constructed of opaque materials
and parts and supplies or materials fencing shall be constructed in a way that allows unobstructed access to the utilities access point for clarification toho has asked for this condition as they do have a utilities access point in this
location and planning commission commission requested action is approval of resolution 2025-031r with the conditions stated by staff staff and the applicant are available would the applicant like to come forward hi good evening
is there any questions for the just state your name i'm sorry uh my name is micah ostein um on behalf of city electric supply and i just want to make sure what was the height now i know we kind of went back and forth between the two so what's
the height on this one um height i believe was uh 8 ft thank you what's the material you're going to use uh it's uh it would be chain link enclosed with uh some with with an
opique um material any other questions for the applicant thank you i don't have one for the applicant but i do just for my own edification is the whenever it's required that they have a fence by our code etc so they still have to submit
how they're going to do it to the city for approval or is this only because they're doing something more unusual so because it is outdoor storage it would be a conditional use so the fence itself when they construct it will have to be a fence permit but what we're actually reviewing is the use of outdoor storage
because that's what he plans to put behind the fence got it okay so if it was like a dumpster like dumpsters have to be behind something now if that's just required it doesn't require them to come before and get it approved do they correct if that was something that was on their site development plan or their
mini site development plan that would not be a conditional use thanks is there any public comment you guys have anything on this issue nope no i got a motion i would like to make a
motion to recommend the approval of resolution number 2025-031r based on the six factual matters within the land development code with conditions there are there were recommended conditions does the motion include the
conditions that were contained in the in the presentation pardon me is that part is that part of your motion is that adapting the conditions that were also recommended yes and adapting the comm the conditions that were recommended second motion motion and a second
all all in favor i i i i passes 5 z okay mr chairman as i understand staff wanted to update you on the on the agenda for this evening just some modifications good afternoon that marie stagara deputy director for the community development

residential development and mckay street matters okay so read the next item in is cnu 24 00006 abc liquors good morning good afternoon commissioners stephanie streer
senior planner with community development tonight i'm presenting cnu 24-00006 located at 355513 street it's abc liquors conditional use so for background it is located
within the highway business zoning district and has a future land use of commercial within the highway zoning a alcoholic beverage establishment is a conditional use and is required to be heard they are proposing some facade and
landscape enhancements and no additional structural changes are proposed to the existing building so this is the zoning depiction of highway business and the depiction of the future land use for
commercial now this is the concept plan that they are showing with the updated landscape improvements and in front of you which we will show again on the screen they have agreed to one of the conditions that they have to add a hardcape here on these areas next to
neptune road and 192 so they have included an aluminum fence which if we can show this one this time so this one is in front of you as well again it's a little bit hard to see but the applicant is working with staff they are amendable to proposing the
hardscape as we've added on as a condition and that would have to be reviewed at a mini site development plan along with the landscape so here is the fencing here thank you okay so staff is recommending approval of resolution
2025-032r with the following conditions no events may occur on the premise that allows or encourages the on-site consumption of alcohol due the due to the proximity of the school buffering to the southwest between the subject property and residential property shall remain in perpetuity
a mini site development plan will be required prior to the issuance of a building permit demonstrating compliance with the land development code section 4.8.6 c screening of vehicular areas the landscape buffering between the parking spaces to the north along neptune road
and easter bronson highway must include hardscape trees shrubs and ground cover arranged to provide a visual screen transition between the parking area and the street hardscape elements could be a decorative metal fencing decorative masonry knee wall no taller than 30 in
above grade topped with decorative metal fencing artistic sculpture urban seating or furniture or a combination of these elements and the approval of the requested conditional use does not constitute the approval of the provided concept plan as a site plan changes to
the site will require approval of a site development plan and any additional approvals required by the land development code and planning commission requested action as approval of resolution 2025-032r with the conditions stated by staff staff and the applicant are
available for any questions i can't wrap my head around where that that is it is the old cvs on neptune next to taco bell wonder okay so to the north here is where taco bell is is the applicant here would the
applicant like to come forward and identify you say name and address please i'm john kelly with kpm franklin 222 church street cmi 34743
we are in agreement with the conditions uh we do not sell alcohol on site for consumption we have presented the buffering plan we i have larger copies of that if you would like to see that because that was
not very clear i couldn't see it at least um and we are in agreement that we will go through the uh the planning process and the continued planning process and the site development process and should you have any questions i'm willing to answer
thank you well i guess there's not going to be a circular dance floor that rotates no dance floor no rotating no bar no nothing i don't have any questions i have a question sure two questions i'm assuming the school mentioned in the application
is the church st thomas st thomas it said proximity i would be i would assume that but i don't know there that is the closest in proximity being you know diagonally i guess north west of the facility it's a little 600 ft away if
you were to go as the pro if you were to take a car in 5:00 traffic it take about an hour and a half yes you're right okay stephanie sher senior planner yes it is st thomas a school and church so we consider both of those in proximity to
the alcoholic beverage establishment okay can you bring back the picture where the fencing is going to be would you like me to give you i have no no just you can point i just missed it so to the north to the north of the property here along east earlow and then
up on neptune road as well okay so the outside of the parking area then correct so well it's near the parking spaces that are here our code requires a hardcape if they face any right ofway because right now there's nothing there right correct and so since they're coming with a conditional use we
can add on that condition so they're in compliance with today's code okay and that won't um affect you know because i drive that a lot and you know it's a it's a cut through we turn there when the traffic is on 192 and you cut through there to don't tell every don't tell everybody i know now it will not
affect the cut through it is just in those areas for the parking spots yeah he can't go yeah half of it is closed you're correct but there's also um there's another bar right behind it there and so other i think alcohol
selling establishments so we're not it's not outside the realm of close to everything else right so i was the current ordinance that we have for for city is 750 ft is that just for bars or is that for any establishment to have
liquor so our alcoholic beverage establishment the guidelines the 750 ft later in our code it does not apply to anyone that is uh selling and it's for the off-site consumption so because they are selling and it is all for off-site
consumption it does not have to adhere to the 750 foot rule what is the what is the rule for signage because i see these a lot with giant signs right there they will still have to meet our current land development code standards for the signs for highway
business they can have one monument sign and then we would evaluate however many wall signs they would have there are certain percentages within highway business anything else like to allow for public public
comment now if i may live alexander 4153 jefferson drive i can see it from my house it's not very far at all you stand in a parking lot of it and you can look right at the church and the school across kitty corner of
the intersection i believe that there not there's not consumption there but it's it's going to increase traffic i believe there's going to be um one thing i do believe myself that
sometimes people going to a liquor store have already had a few i believe that not everybody of course but some and the fence they're putting up is for the road does nothing for us that can look at the back of this and we also
have an issue on 192 and and neptune there a lot of loud motorcycles cars radio so loud that it shakes my house sometimes and i just believe that that people i mean i was young i used to
drink a lot once upon a time and i believe that it's just going to create a nuisance for people that live there perhaps the school and the church as well i mean we have elderly people living in my neighborhood and and uh at
the very least i like this seeming do something to shield it from my view or our view but that that's my feelings about it that it's and then the drunken parody is the bar on the other side you can hear a lot of loud stuff from there
um walmart has a additional building a liquor store there's a liquor store there and i believe there's one over by the publix so that's just my feeling of it so thanks for listening thank you thank you sir if you would be sure before you
leave to fill out a form for the clerk so we have you in the in the file of the form if you you did okay thank you very much thank you are there any other forms for this item no on this case okay is there any other
public comment so i'd like to uh discuss this item i think uh there's a couple things that i had thought of with this and one was the closest to the school and the visibility from the school not even just how close it is and the church there
um also know that we already have several existing liquor stores and a lot of those are locally smaller own places and not chain brands i was uh i was concerned about signage because i have
seen abc liquors in other places and they have larger signs that might not fit in with what we've got going on right now all good points yes where's jefferson street sitting from uh
i believe it's you could see it on the other map better there well all good points that having have lived right there for 44 plus years i always firmly believe that when people own their property they have the right
to do what they want to it um so even though it's everybody feels like there might be enough of them around that's their prerogative to do what they want with their property and if the signage has to comply with what the city regulates then we shouldn't have to worry too much
about that i'm going to make a motion i'd like to make a motion to recommend approval of resolution number 2025-032r based on the conditions mentioned within the land development code
i second just if i could clarify uh the motion was to recommend approval uh including the conditions that were included in the report yes okay and based on the based on the land development code factors for the condition i'm sorry okay thank you that was the second
by apologize thank you we have a motion and a second call for a vote all in favor i i i no no three to two is that right

the development is compatible with existing developments in the surrounding area and it has been reviewed for no advers back to city facilities uh this is a representation of the
current future land use the diagonal lines indicate that this property is within the city but still doesn't have a city future land use which is what we're requesting
tonight and this is the representation of the zoning map likewise they're showing the county's zoning district and the diagonal lines indicating the request
of a zoning map amendment to plan unit development to the east side the purple color is an existing plan unit development with a similar density to the development
requested the request aligned with the strategic plan goal of the city of a high performing performing government for the sustainability and continuity of core public services the development is within
existing public services and they are available and we will be extended to the site as well as they will provide an additional rideway for the widening of east end street compatible with the rightway provided by the adjacent
properties that have been developed as well as an enhanced landscape buffer facing 10th street where the units along the 10th street side will face 10th street it would not be the rear side they would face that enhanced buffer

showed like a map with a purple one on it and said the adjacent property was similar was it is it also medium dens thank you yes that one is that also medium density yes they're lovely duplexes they're duplexes and they are medium density if
we look at the future land use it has a medium density future land use gotcha thank you it's actually oak tree point a lovely little duplex community
would the applicant like to come forward and identify himself for the record good evening bruce taylor again 131 east 13th street i'm actually the engineer the applicant client is behind me any other questions but yeah a little more um oak tree point that actually i think
it has about 98 units and we're at 94 proposed units with a density of around six and a half per acre so um i think our density that we're going for goes up to 10 so we're 65% of that um we're
proposing i believe we um the uh applicant actually gave you a packet if you want to go through so um the site plan is actually on there very nice plan that um that was described before where
these are all rear loading lots so everything has a driveway access accessed by a rear alleyway and um we have about 30 little more than 30% open
space which is about 10% more of what's required for um this type of development around 20% and um we have also amenities a whole bunch of amenities in the back
we have a a walkway along a natural burm adjacent to the lake with a pickle ball court and also a large um dog walking park as in the rear and also a large um
wet detention pond with more amenities around the around the top um and then also for the the building type we have three separate um architectural styles that are
on i think it's like the fifth page yep so we have those those three different types two stories and then also we have an enhanced landscape plan that shows far and far and above the um
requirements for the city with with hardscape also shown so if you have any other questions i'm here they're all two stories and how many bedroom bathrooms i believe they're three bedroomedroom two baths two stories yes
and they're going to be they're going to be owned units or rental units um i think they're going to be home yes and we did and also we did have um a sharet with the adjacent property owners
that came out uh i believe it was october in person and then we had another one that was online that no one was was available for so we we've discussed the layout with some of the property owners adjacent to us
when is completion estimated well um we have to go through the um god willing we get approved we have to go through the uh master site or master um pud plan uh i would say probably in
about 18 months we can start construction and this looks like this looks like it just has a one in way one way in and one way out correct that's correct okay yes and actually um we did speak with the
fire marshall before we came out we were going to be making some changes for better traffic or actually better traffic and also for better uh fire access two of the uh hammerheads are going to be uh connected so we could get more traffic internal circulation but
we're going to go ahead and make that at the next change would be for the master site plan or master pud plan i have the uh the applicant and the client developer if you need any other questions over and above than what i've
given you any other questions at this time not not for the applicant but just could staff elaborate a little bit more on the sidewalk and what's happening when anything additional for 10th street as it's getting busier and busier
thank you thanks bernice gonzalez principal planner community development at the recommendation of public works the widening for the road shall match the widening the line with the pe adjacent
to the east which shall provide the required road width for widening and improvements when the time comes to to perform those so the sidewalk's only going to be in front of this particular development for now because it probably
ends by overcut for there in front of the development uh at 10 street and we'll connect with any sidewalks available to the east since the parcel to the west is vacant right and mostly wetland right the sidewalk goes all the
way down to narusi road so that addition is a nice addition okay like to open it up for public comment please state your name and address tammy simson i live at 1844 overcup
avenue and um back in october we did meet with this developer um my property backs up to the retention pond that is dot retention pond and i paid a premium for my view of the trees and everything
back there um so now i will be looking at twotory town homes when we met with them we did request that they consider singlestory homes so that we wouldn't have to look at homes behind us that we paid a premium to not have to do um
additionally as you're considering this the detention the retention pond that is um owned by the dot does not have a sidewalk in front of it so um our neighborhood over um ash point does have a sidewalk that goes over the
creek there is no sidewalk in front of the retention pond therefore the sidewalk would pick up in front of this neighborhood across from hickory tree um when we met with them back in october that was a request that i made as well to have uh that sidewalk connect in
front of the dot retention pond um i'm trying to think if there was anything else i mean this this is going to happen the traffic's going to get worse on 10th street it's a tiny street
um and i just wanted to definitely make sure that my voice was heard thank you so can we address what her request was to the applicant was that anything that they can do i mean they're probably not going to not do twostory units but is
there any sure please say your name and address shaman parati luxer development 4700 millennia boulevard in orlando yes uh we did meet and um there there were some discussions about landscape buffers and
did we did speak about the sidewalk we don't technically own the rightway in front of the dot pond but we did agree if we can have that we can put sidewalk we don't have an issue connecting the sidewalks from their subdivision to ours
so um well we don't have any we want to make sure that this right away is there in front of the pond and i'm not sure if it's there but if i'm not mistaken there is really a pond like or as we're talking there is isn't there something in between the overcut houses and your
development yeah it's a dot pond which we don't know right right right but so they're not going to be smack up against each other right there's going to be some sort of buffer there right so that's as far as the sidewalk so the sidewalk from their uh
subdivision stops just above where the dot pond is okay so there's a gap between their sidewalk and the sidewalk that we're planning to build so we we agree to connect that in front of the dot pond like i think that's but we have
to get dot permission is that what you're saying yeah if we can get that permission we're okay with you know connecting the sidewalks and as far as the buffers we enhanced our landscaping buffer buffers we're planting um almost like 12 10 foot trees and i think in
your um uh hand out you'll see some of the buffers that we're prop proposing how do we know if dot will let us do that or let you do that or we don't know just ask that mara deputy director community
development that's correct um as you can see in the area the pond is fdot if the rightway is not available um they would not have the space to put the sidewalk the code requires the
sidewalk to the length of their their project that property is not owned by the applicant they will have to reach out to fdot for um permission um and it's really at the discretion that's why the subdivision that was
built on the other side their sidewalk stop at the pond um unfortunately that's something that as we grow as a city um the city makes capital improvement programs to fill out those gaps because
it's you know sometimes that's is easier when the city is dealing with fdot than a developer we can certainly make that request uh it's a pud as a pud the city has the ability to um request more than
what the code requires um we can certainly make a re the board can make a recommendation to add that condition to the pub um and they can make the adjustments at the final master plan and we can bring that recommendation to city
council great i have a question for city is east 10th street right there is that maintained by the city right now that portion yes okay so we're still looking to improve that right yeah um as
you know there's been a couple of years that the uh public works has been working on a um pnd uh for the improvements of 10th street but as you know this is a collaboration with the county as well um so that's why things get a little delay when it's
multi- um governmental um effort i just hope that the city sometimes the city rules like you know my fence is here but you don't own that so you can't attach to the dot fence sometimes things like that happen that stops it so i'd hope that like you said
the city can work and sometimes have to have a gray area for that to happen because it would be really a shame for all of all of the residents that would be on that area not to be able to walk from narusi road at least that far especially these new residents so thanks
is there any more public comment on this item and then just to be clear for the for the owner for the applicant um the trees are existing now they have to go away for the open space and
detention pond is that correct yes that's correct all right most of the ones around the where the trees are around the lake we're saving those so excuse me would you repeat that yeah the trees that are on the open
space where the lake is we're saving those okay to help with the buffer i'm assuming yeah but there's a whole lot of stuff being moved already there being cleared so
there's no more public comment i'd like to close the public comment session like to see if there's any discussion from the committee commission not really except that i would really love for us as a unified force to recommend to the council
to engage with the dot somehow not sure how to say that i'm sure council will guide us through that but would be nice to have the sidewalk connected exactly especially and that's the the biggest problem right here and it's
just 10 street is narrow i drive it all the time and it's super narrow and it's not really pedestrian friendly at all yep i go down there probably 15 times a day but then um when we look at at what's
proposed versus what could be this seems lighter than some alternatives so there's no more discussion i'd like to call for a motion on both
items or one item sorry one at a time okay um let's see i'd like to make a motion let's see sorry it's on two pages um yeah i would like to make a motion to
recommend the approval of ordinance number 2025-14 based on the 16 findings within the land development code and um and i know you were mentioning about let's try and bring attention to the fact that
we'd like to see the sidewalk there i don't know where that can be addressed in the following okay thank you so i second all in favor i
i opposed no passes 5 like to call for a motion if anyone would like to make a motion i'd like to make a motion to recommend approval of ordinance number 202515 based on the 16 findings within the land
development code with the additional condition of working with the dot to extend the sidewalk second motion second all in favor i i

business for 18 years within that uh trailer park community down at the end i believe it's lake tohjo rv resort down there uh this piece of property is just to the west of lake tojo road just to the west of clay whley's landing which
is a public boat ramp that's uh open 247 the county's actually purchased an additional acre to the west of that boat ramp to expand on that boat ramp so this property does make sense to have additional airboat uses as you can tell
by the application is an airboat use uh down next to a public boat ramp as opposed to in an existing residential community where it's currently at but again that's not on the agenda tonight it's the annexation the land use
and the zoning i do just want to be transparent and the name does give it away that it would be an airboat and that's the that's the intended yes yes there is a fourth application that has been filed for it's part of your mixeduse district it's required it's
called a mixeduse concept plan that actually uh goes to city council for final adoption does not come to uh this council for uh recommendation so this after tonight the fourth application would be heard in front of city council on april 10th
did you say there was residential because i'm looking at this aerial and all i see is green there's one residential unit to the west of us uh our proposed uh dock area that that residential unit would be a little over a quarter mile
away uh that proposed dock still has to go through all of its entitlements through an sdp process through city council or excuse me through city staff and then they also have to go through the proper permitting for south florida water management and to get that dock so
we're still very early on in the process step one of the process is getting the land use and the zoning any other questions for the applicants i don't think so i just like to reserve some time to answer any of the public's question if there's any public comments
tonight yes we do have a go ahead and open it up for public comment hi can you please state your your name and address for the record i'm janine wooten i'm at
3662 lake topaga road in st cloud so two lots over from the proposed annexation we'd like to hear your comments on okay so um thank you for the opportunity to comment um i wanted to start with first
of all just to put on record that this is nothing personal against wild willie airbotes or john williams he's been a fine neighbor want that on record we just are here to protect our rights to peaceful enjoyment of our land you said you saw one residential or he the
gentleman that just spoke one residential unit to the west they're actually four and all four families are represented here tonight um we already hear an awful lot of noise from the airboats um i can't imagine how it would be if they were at whley's landing
um i'm curious i just want to bring up i'm curious if anyone in the room can say that they were born and raised in st cloud or that they are descendants all right that they're descendants
um or that they're descendants of one of the original pioneer families or that they have five at the house good for you right good for you so we have five generations over a hundred years on that land if you
the map that you had up the four lots to the to the west of that um so that's the backdrop that's where we're coming from i'm speaking to you as a whale um we just feel that we would like to see our land um respected my mom's 92 she was born on the land she's still living on
that land right now and my aunt who's 90 also um so i echo all the other family members that will be speaking tonight i'm running out of time i also want to speak to you as a realtor i'm sure you're familiar on the community development um highest and best used
we've got bellotera coming we've got metro development group coming um both intending huge nice communities along lake tobago road i can't imagine that they would consider an airboat business at the end of the road there a good fit
um or highest and best use i've also looked at the envision st cloud long-term future plans that you guys have for st cloud and um again i don't think that another airboat business or an
airboat business moving to that location would be highest and best use or a good fit for what you see in the future i think the the growth in st cloud has been fast and furious and i just am asking that we pump the brakes and really think long term about st cloud at
its very best what it can be at its best thank you thank you we have a eron we have we have some cards and then we'll get to everyone yes please we have aaron smith hello council my name is aaron
smith i live at 3650 lake topa galaga road i am right next door to where they're proposing this new plan and uh i just wanted to say that i'm opposed to this annexation on the grounds of peace and quiet we have two
widows that are part of my family that are very elderly and i want them to live in peace for the rest of their lives our family member clay junk whe donated a water treatment plant to the county to provide clean drinking water
to all citizens of the neighborhood whley's landing has been the whley's in the whley family for many years until it was sold for public use um citizens dock there all the time use their boats for their needs go fishing it's very peaceful for the most part
everybody just has a great time but uh willy's landing was purchased for government use uh we would just appreciate if you would take our kindness and generosity into account when making your decision thank you
thank you we have an ann bondi hello commission my name is ann bondi i live at 2560 yellow brick road in st cloud good evening and thank you for listening to our voice tonight for concerns on this proposal of annexation
and subsequent building of the airboat business this would be adjacent to our family land and i am here representing my 92-year-old mother as her power of attorney she has submitted a letter because it is gunsmoke time and she
needs to be home watching her gun smoke all right to whom it may concern my name is nancy bradford and i live at 3660 lake top to road in st cloud florida i am 92 years old and i cannot attend the
meeting but i wanted to let you know my opinion about the letter that i received about the voluntary annexation i was actually born on the land in 1932 and i have a few thoughts to share the noise from the airboats is already very annoying because when they
ride too close to the shore and i'm very worried about having a airboat business moving on whley's landing and how much more it will be this property has been in the family for over a hundred years and has always been very peaceful until
recently it's not like i'm going to add here it's not like we purchased a lot next to an airport and you know we know where we're getting we have been peaceful for a hundred years and now we're dealing with all of this noise and we are afraid that a business like this
will bring more noise and more traffic and i have always felt safe here but thinking about um so many people coming that we don't know coming and going makes me nervous i can't see how all of this will add value to our property and
thank you very much for considering my concerns so you're going to hear from the other four families here um representation 100% of us are opposed to this annexation and subsequent building
of mild willies uh with the airboats and again nothing against john williams or the right to own your business and and build you know it's just the peace and quiet has been disrupted already without even having them out of that out of
wley's landing um we are comprised of 63 62.63 acres to the left of on the map so it's not a small amount that this family represents and i just i wanted y'all to
hear i wish you come hear how loud it is with the airboats coming and going i just yeah thank you for listening thank you thank you i have a road but i do have something on my phone that i just wanted to read if i can get pull
it up here again just please you state your name and your address ina roadie 3600 lake hope road but um there's a not down at the boat landing that says oyola county has
established an idle speed no wake boat and vessel speed zone in the waterways next to any land used as public boat ramp or for a residential or commercial purpose the speed zone exceeds from
extends from the shore onto the water a distance of 300 ft as posted violation of idle speed no wake speed zone within the inor unincorporated areas of the county may
result in a fine of up to $500 they go right on the edge of the shore and it is very loud we're step back off the road or off the lake but the road is too small
for boats and cars almost my husband has an f-150 and they have just with a boat pulling someone pulling a boat it has knocked his side mirror off and i can't imagine with taking airboats down there
and i have nothing against airboat business whoever wants it but i've lived there all my life just about and i have actually seen somebody with an airboat pull up on the ridge and shoot at a turkey toward my backyard with me in the
backyard and my three-year-old granddaughter so i don't like the up and down all the time of the airboats and especially when they come right on the shoreline if they're 300 feet out that's
better if they're quieter they do donuts they're just noisy and it has disrupted our lives but the biggest concern is that road is narrow and with them building all that on the east side of
lake topa kaga road and probably will be entrances and exits for people to come in and off of that road unless they make it wider it's not feasible but you know i know people want to make a living doing what they can
but we've lived with it for years and it's if they abided by what i just read would be one thing but they don't they do donuts they're right on the shore and as loud as they are it's very noisy
thank you thank you like a we've got a brandon seismore i didn't have any plans of speaking tonight but uh here i am i live at 1701 connecticut avenue here in st cloud um i've also been a boat captain at bodies
for 10 years now like i said this is a an existing business we've been operating for 17 years where we're at located further down cmi park road um where we run just to be transparent with you guys we already visit uh during our
tours the frontage of their property to lake to so they have already experienced the sounds of boats and whatnot uh where we plan or hope to build one day with your approval uh not necessarily would that
change that but with the respect of everyone's concerns and what we've done with park residents for where we operate already is respectfully like i said no written agreement even just a handshake respectfully as neighbors do what you
can to keep it down staying 300 yards away that's totally plausible if we're granted the dock space that's going to come out in toho for us to have a idle zone totally plausible there should be no difference in the noise of what
they're concerned about i'm also a little taken back by some of our pioneer families uh talking about this new development when you're talking about a company that wants to do nothing but preserve our heritage here in ociola county talk about our wildlife we hate seeing what
the plats have done and getting rid of all this land that's going to be this lagoon property everything that we're buttoning up to what's the issue with preserving airboats which has been a florida staple since the 1920s uh the
best way to tour the everglades and to experience our wildlife for our guests and our visitors that come from all around the world that's it thank you is there any other public comment oh i'm sorry
ryan ferrari good evening guys how are you all doing uh kind of touching up what brandon just stated i mean i've got family so just state your name and your address ryan ferrari 3123 dark sky drive army florida
um i've got multi-generational family members grew up here in ociola county my great-grandfather was one of the first ones here in cassini so um not discrediting you guys you know i know the way i grew up with lil keith and all
them since babies um shoot had some of the best hunting experience i've ever had on property growing up um still to this day there's a lot of people that run airboats that are not even on tours that you're in the best air boating of
the whole entire country you got people coming in from literally all over the us that bring their airboats down here to oyola county to run these airboats and yeah our airboats you know they're a little noisy all airboats are i mean it's it's it's part of part of the
experience um you know we got a lot of people that run up that shoreline nonstop there's constantly head-on you know people that run through there every day so i mean just just because you know we want to move locations we already run
through there it's not it's not going to be anything new we this is not a it's not a a new place that we're just visiting now or going to be visiting it is something that we run through there every single tour just by moving locations to have a you know better experience for the
customers and in this community especially with all the development around there it's uh it'd be it'd be amazing to have a blessing to have our own little space to where we don't have to deal with the customers at lake tojo resort they can have their space and we can
have ours it's not going to change any difference it's still our part of our ao that we run that we've been granting them for years no different we're not the air boat company out there that runs tours through there you got foggy creek you got another airboat company crazy gator
they all run right through there not to mention the couple of the airboat companies that are on private tours and then during hunting season for the uh for the alligator uh hunting season they all there's 40 50 boats that i know of people from all over the place come down
here this is this is airboat capital of the country so it's not going to change anything unfortunately i understand you guys want to preserve you know y'all's family's property this is just a part of the growing pains that we've all endured
here in ociola county that's all i got to say thank you we have a brian i'll let you say it mcmaltry how you doing guys good evening my name is brian mcmerry my address is 316 eco
drive i just want to come up here um i am one of the captains for wild willies i've been working here for over eight years this family has adopted me basically i am not from st cloud but this company is um it started in st cloud i wanted to stay in st cloud i
know there's you know um four families that are against this but there's more than 20 families right here today that live off this company right now there are families that depend on this company i have two daughters myself i'm not sure what would i be without this company
so i understand that they have concerns about the noise i just want to state that we operate after 9:00 a.m we are a company that our last boat 90% of the time of the year goes out at 3:30 so we
start at 9:00 a.m and our last bull goes out at 3:30 90% of the times of the year we're not out there late at night we don't hunt we don't promote um hunting we want to save the animals so those person that you guys see out there hunting has nothing to do with us we are
pro animals we are one of the best companies out there we promote nothing but safety you can check our reviews you guys can see our track history we never had an accident those 360 these that is other companies that does not represent wild willies we are one of the safest
companies in florida i can speak for myself i am in charge of the coast guard regulations we work hand by hand with the coast guard to make sure that we are in the terms of where can we go how fast can we go the hours that we operate we are one of the safest if not the safest
company that operates everybody is highly trained everybody is highly certified we are very professionals i would like the opportunity to work with them i know this is a new thing but in life it's about expanding the future
creating we can't stay stuck in the past unfortunately we would all like the things to be like it is before but that's not how it is we have to move forward in the future and i think while willies is one of the company that it is family it's not just this walmart big
corporate this is a family industry that's going to come in and you guys are going to see that basically it's going to be lots of love and respect it's not going to be animosity it's not going to be corporate it's going to be like i said it's it's going to be home it's going to be a family so i just wish they
knew that that on our side we just want nothing but keep on progressing and something nice for the for the city you know come out ride with us enjoy beautiful florida what we have to offer that's all we want just like i say the boats already operate through that area
it's not going to be an additional noise we already operate there like i said from 9 to 3:30 most of the time so it's not going to be that we're going to be out there at 10:00 p.m 8:00 p.m at 9 in the morning we don't you know oh sorry
thank you and just you know know that this is basically family for us thank you jeff mckenna can you say your name and address uh my name is jeff mckenna i live at 2785 abshire road we'd like to hear what you have to say
i'm just here to ask that you uh deny the proposal for the liies there coming down lake tahoe i know this business already operates on the lake we've endured relentless noise these air boats seven days a
week i know they say the last boat goes out at 3:30 i don't know what time it comes back but i hear them late later than 3:30 that's for sure moving this closer to our homes will only make things worse more noise lower our property values increased traffic and
greater environmental harm this area is kind of i know it's turning residential but for us it's still agricultural right there i'm proving this move would put the interest of one business owner over the well-being of all the people who
presently live there we didn't choose to live next to the airboat launch we chose peace nature and a home and i ask that you please don't take that away from our family thank you is there any other public
comment there was two letters submitted from uh kelly mckenna clara mckenna with kelly mckenna kelly mckenna says "my mother and i are not happy about the airboats starting an
airboating business so close to our house and our family's houses the airboats are so loud we can hear them in our houses as it is already we also don't want a tremendous increase in houses and traffic jams out our way
i'm sure other people in our area do not like this either please have some consideration for the people who have been living here for quite a few years sincerely kelly mckenna clara mckenna and kelly mckenna say we are not too happy about the
airboats starting a new business at lake topa kalaga landing they make so much noise and they come close to the shore it will increase the traffic on our road a great deal we only have one way to get out of this area all the homes they plan to build is going to cause a lot of
confusion i would be at the meeting but i am 90 years old please take consideration of this clara mckenna there was one more letter that was read by previous member of the public
is there any more public comment i'd like to close public comment is the applicant like to respond yes uh again for the record john adams rj whitten uh agent for the applicant uh there's several things i wanted to address tonight um first one is yes i did refer
to one home to the west there are four homes out there i was simply referring to the closest one that that house would be over a quarter mile from the proposed dock uh and then i wanted to get into several other the concerns from uh the
neighbors uh first one is again this is an existing business it's been in business for 18 years uh it's regularly um in compliance with the us coast guard uh demonstrating a strong record of you
know safe and responsible operations as the boat captains did point out tonight they are actually going through there now uh they do have a handshake agreement that was pointed out to the existing neighbors that they're around now that they idle in and out that's what would happen at this location there
may likely be less noise because instead of going through there at a high speed with more noise they're going to be idling to and from that dock as the ordinance was pointed out by one of the neighbors that you have 300 yard idle they're responsible for doing that at this commercial location so are private
citizens there's no way for wild willies to be responsible for private citizens as one of the boat captains pointed out they operate their last tour 90% of the time at 3:30 in the afternoon they can't prevent private citizens that already use whley's landing and already create
noise from a public facility that's open 24 hours a day seven days a week that they're adjacent to ociola county has also purchased one acre of land on the southeast corner right adjacent to it to expand this facility and have additional
uses as the community grows around this with the future development uh one of the things that was pointed out a couple different times was uh traffic on lake tohjo road all development all new development is responsible for road improvements whether wild willies comes in first or
bellaterara that's already pushing their phase one dirt they're responsible for making road improvements to lake toho roo it's actually a framework road and the ultimate design of that will have a median down the middle with single lane
going each way sidewalks on both sides and uh likely parallel parking as well um going through my notes here uh and just back to the noise again there st cloud does have a noise
ordinance that they're responsible to comply with uh that runs from 7:00 a.m to 10 p.m at night uh as one of the captains stated they run from 9:00 to 3:30 so they're during the day with their tours uh and then just the last thing i want to reinforce tonight is
that this proposed zoning and land use and annexation is in compliance with the st cloud's comprehensive plan uh their land development uh vision and in accordance with your jpa everything to the west of it was brought up as a land
it's currently mixeduse land use and mixeduse zoning within the county as well so this area has been planned for growth since 2004 when the land urban land institute came in and assessed this area and converted a lot of this back in 2008 to mixeduse land use and mixeduse
zoning within the county that's what this property already has of mixed use land use and mixeduse zoning and that's all we're asking for tonight is the same land use and the same zoning in the city as well that final mixeduse concept plan application
that's proposing a neighborhood center that that neighborhood center allows an airboat use and many other uses within a neighborhood center will be heard at a later hearing and uh not at this hearing tonight be happy to answer any of your guys' questions
i have a question is there any infrastructure going to be built on this new development required infrastructure so one of them as i pointed out is lake toho that's required by your land development code if wild willies comes in first they'd be responsible for improving lake tohjo all the way up to
the next urban crosssection which would likely be cm park road is that feasible for small airboat company no so that's likely going to be relying on the other development that's already broke ground out there that's already responsible for making improvements to that road that
they're adjacent to and as far as water sewer and other public utilities any new development prairie land development code is responsible for that as well so you're saying it's not going to be an inexpensive endeavor for them to develop
this into what they want say that again i'm sorry for wild willies whatever they're going to do with this property there is a significant amount of work that's going to have to go into yeah this is step one in the process they still if this were to get approved at city council on april 10th uh they still have to go through
engineering plans with a full uh staff review of those engineering plans for code compliance they still have to go through their south florida water management permitting for the water management facilities and then also have to go through all their dock permitting through the state as well and he purchased this property in 2021 yes he's
owned land with the intent to move his business here for a long time uh he previously went to the county and um unfortunately got some bad advice at the time and spent some money
and bellera got annexed and that's why we're here tonight so the 8 and a half acres was for sale anybody could have bought it yes it is private property so private property that could have been purchased for green area for recreation
for anything he he just decided to buy it yes and it it has had a mixeduse land use and a mixeduse zoning since i believe 2010 in the county so anybody could have purchased it uh for what they wanted it could stay as an existing use but any new development such as we're
proposing would be in comp need to be in compliance with the code and let's say he didn't own an airboat he would still want to annex and develop or whatever all of that we're talking about tonight is bringing him into the city regardless of whether he ever does open up and have an airboat there he still has to be
coming into the city basically yes per your per your jpa he's required to because he's adjacent to the city and that's really what we're here to talk about tonight not necessarily an airboat correct okay and um i guess wait i know i had one other here um we had
established oh the nor well you wouldn't know this never mind you can ask it i might well it's just about i mean the noise and the things that the residents are really concerned about i mean the point is really well taken that it probably not them and is there a coast
guard for our lakes where people can be monitoring like who might be shooting guns or going too close or too fast is that anything you know about so again they're with them being a private business they have yearly inspections with the coast guard that they have to
go through uh i can imagine that if wild willies is breaking one of these somebody's going to see it on the side of one of their boats and know and report them uh they can't do anything about private citizens going out you know other hours shooting shotguns on the shore not abiding by the 300 yard or
ordinance from a shoreline uh that would be up to you know ocula county to enforce and it's next to a public boat ramp when i placed the advertisement out there two sundays ago there was probably eight to 10 airboat trailers at wheelies
landing so it's already an existing use in the area and is there any particular reason why he's moving from tohjo resort just running out of room or well to be honest he's significantly closer to a lot more
neighbors down there uh they've had a friendly relationship over the year but this does give them more land uh it'll help with future expansion should they you know choose to grow their business with other uh you know ecoourism um you know what that looks
like would you know come at a later stage it would still maintain the airboat business he just operates out of there he doesn't actually own that land does he where the the toho resort is the toho resort operates out out of that those docks right yes yes there's docks
right there right next to the homes now uh again yeah i've been down there many many many times so i know that that's what i was just saying so now he wants to go and be on his property that he purchased his private property with the intent and of the eight acres of this property only about four of it's
actually being requested for a neighborhood center there's a lake tooho protection zone that's a minimum of 250 feet from the high water line and an average of 500 so there's a wetland on shore that he's not proposing any impacts with that application uh there
is some water management and there would be some secondary impacts for a dock to get down to his actual proposed docks down in the water just for clarification one of your captains said
that the last boat goes out at 3:30 what time does he come back i can go by the hours that i was given to by the owner so they operate typically in the winter from 9:00 a.m to 7:15 at the latest and then in the summers from 9:00 a.m to about 8:15 at
night uh the airboat tours are right around an hour i know they do have some offset times at times when they have national geographic out there they'll go out you know earlier but that's more idle speed for photographers to take uh
pictures but if they 90% of the time 3:30 it's an hour tour so roughly 4:35 any more questions for you thank you all and again uh we're in agreement with staff's recommendation to approve just the annexation the land use
and the zoning tonight jim mr jim are you going to close the public meeting yes i'd like to close public close it for discussion amongst the commission members do we have any discussion i i just have to remind commission that
we again we only advise and there is no there's no noise ordinance just for example i live right in town and the noise and the burning of rubber for over two hours at a home was
unbelievable but there's nothing that we can do about it i've lived here since 1972 what 5,000 3,000 residents so now we're 66,000 in 2040 we're going to be 122,000 or whatever so it's it's just
happening um again i always go back to if property was available and people wanted something special to be on there they we have to buy it because we can't ever promise that we know that from real estate so the reality is is that i have
been down to toho resort i do meals on wheels i'm down there every week for over three years now it has always been the most pleasant experience down there and i i i just feel like again a family business is so important in our
community that i don't know that one we can be talking about the boat stuff as much as we should be talking about the actual zoning and land use which we would do if we didn't know anything about a boat we we would so those are my thoughts
that's a that's correct this is simply annexation and zoning and the zoning doesn't change from what it already is mr chairman can i just clarify for from staff these three items will appear before the city council on what date
will that be is i heard i hear april 10th is that correct april 10th okay just wanted to make the commission aware of that and again as as miss briggsby so capably stated uh you know this is an advisory commission this is a recommendation that's being made to city council and city council will address
these issues on the 10th of april which will be the second thursday of next month so there's no more discussion does anyone have a motion on uh anx 240010
i would like to propose approval of ordinance number 2025-18 based on the 16 findings within the land development code i'll second it second now triggers it right for a vote unless there's a vote we have a vote on
the motion all in favor i you say all in favor oh all in favor i nay douglas i'm going nay so the eyes were three
nays were two miss passes three to two recommendation for approval of annexations does anyone have a motion on ordinance number 202519 cpa 240013 wait hold on i do but i can't find it

place they can build is open space and then recreational so and the compatible comprehensive land use is the uh in this case is public and institutional thank you no
problem john adams rj excuse me john adams rjwa 8 broadway florida 34741 uh we're in agreement with staff uh for recommendation of approval of the annexation comprehensive plan and zoning
few things i do want to point out on this property as guy pointed out uh yes our client does have the intent to uh move forward with the process for a communication tower at this site it is currently ldr land use and zoning within the county uh this request uh to change
to an institutional land use and open space recreational district is the zoning district that within the city that allows your communication towers uh be happy to answer any more technical questions uh regarding their intended
use but uh tonight uh you're not improving a communication tower you're approving a recommendate recommendation for approval of a land use in a zoning that would allow that to go through the next step in the process i have a question yes probably for staff
unless you know it what's the city's design standards for these towers uh city's design standards within the urban growth boundaries a maximum height of 150 ft uh this would be 150 foot monopole pine design you also have architectural
requirements and that pine design is um intended to blend into the environment it looks like the christmas trees yes yeah they're 150 foot tall christmas tree so that's that's the intent of the code yes okay
yeah okay that's all i have well i guess i could imagine that the residents well first of all we don't usually go from somebody wanting to build something to somebody wanting open space so that's just unusual but i understand it and i'm imagining that center lake ranch residents are going to
be pretty happy if there's tower out there once they well move in and develop all of that there there is a hole in coverage uh they did look at several different sites uh in the area and they did land on this one it is 2 and a half acres that they would be reszoning this entire property but it would be
significantly smaller of the actual uh site um the the you know towers all designed you know if god forbid something were to happen you know fall in on itself that's how they're designed now um you know and
as far as the coverage there there is a demand for now for existing residents but then also the future residents of center lake residents to the east of this site and then all that commercial that's intended at center lake just to the south of the site
