Well, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to uh welcome everybody to the November 18th meeting of the Temple Terrace Community Redevelopment Agency. Call the meeting to order. Uh board members, has [snorts] everybody had an opportunity to review the minutes from September 16th. And if
so, is there a motion? >> Move to approve. >> Second. >> Any discussion or corrections to the minutes? If not, all those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed? No. Nays. First item of business is consideration of the redevelopment of the Dunkin Donuts quick
service restaurant located at 5302 East Bush Boulevard. And our senior planner, uh, Miss Livingstone is here to present. Good evening. >> Good evening. Good evening, chairman
and board. This is a brief presentation to request the CRA board's approval to advance this site plan application for consideration at city council. The subject property is within the
redevelopment area and is currently zoned as commercial general. The proposed project involves the redevelopment of an existing quicks service restaurant into a drive-thru
only restaurant. The surrounding areas contain developed commercial properties. Planning Commission staff has reviewed the site plan and has found it to be
consistent with the city's comprehensive plan. Staff is requesting CRA board approval to advance this site plan to the city council for consideration.
Here is the overall site plan. The current structure will be demolished. The dark shaded area represents the new proposed Dunkin Donuts at 1,570
square ft. If approved by this board, this item will be brought before city council at tonight's regular meeting. If found to be acceptable,
I'd like to request that the board approves by a motion to advance the site plan to city council for consideration. >> Thank you, Miss Livingstone. Are there any waiverss associated with this request? There are two CRA waiverss
associated with this request. >> Okay. Are we going to cover them now or if we advance it to city council, will that be the time we cover that? >> If the item is advanced to city council, that's when it will be addressed. >> Okay. I see the petitioner is here. Is there uh any presentation? It's up to
you if you'd like to speak or say anything or >> um Thank you. >> We just need your name for the record. >> Yes. For the record, my name is Patricia Ortiz. Do you want my address, too? No. Okay. Patricia Ortiz. Um, I I think
Alyssa's done a great job in putting together the staff report and she's hit on all the major points here. I can answer questions if if you have any. Uh, but I don't I don't really see the need to go into a great presentation at this time. >> Okay. Very good. Thank you, Miss Ortiz.
Board members, are there questions for the staff or the petitioner? >> I have a question. >> Council member Board member Fernandez. Um, can we put the picture back up? >> Yes. And so I I want to know
because right now I I know where this is and I know about the drive that's the egress ingress into the property the m the the bulk of the property off of Bullard or Bush Boulevard at that point.
And when I look at this in and exit, is is this I just I'm trying for reference. I'm trying to figure out if this egress in and the in
in exit are those driveways or is this next to that driveway that comes off of Bush Boulevard? >> I'm not sure, but let me look at the site plan real quick. If you >> Thank you for that question. That would be an entrance and exit from Bush
Boulevard onto the existing property. >> I think it's the same. >> I So, so my guess my only concern and I don't know if this is the time to talk about the actual or if we push the project forward. I just I just have a little bit of a concern about this
traffic pattern going into the drive-thru. >> Thank you for that question. >> Backup material. There's discussion about that. I I get that, but I'm trying to >> I can I can I can answer that question. The city's engineer has done their
review and they found it to be compliant with the city's code. And I I'm not saying it's not compliant. I'm just my only concern is that it's the mixing of
you've got you're coming in over here, then you're coming to the drive-thru, but the drive-thru is a very short distance from the exit as well. I'm just cons I I'm just asking about the practicality of the traffic flow, >> the traffic stacking. >> Yes.
>> From when you come in off of Bush Boulevard. >> Yes. >> Okay. You're going to turn right in from Bush Boulevard. There is sufficient stacking. We've been through this like like Alyssa said with the transportation division um review. Would you like me to call out the distance?
>> Well, it's I don't necessarily need the measurements. I just I just am trying to get this answered just for the record just to make sure that we've looked at this, we've considered it so that if at some point we have problems like we have
had in some of our developments where people come back to us later and say this is a terrible traffic pattern. I'm just saying it right now so that >> Sure. So, we've worked with the FDOT to obtain permits, and the DOT approved our
auto turn um coming from Bush Boulevard with a condition that if there had been, let me read this myself and then I'll I'll spit it out for you. Um the approval is contingent on a two-year review of traffic crashes associated uh
with this exit. And so if it is found that there is an increase in traffic crashes associated with this, the developer will have to go back to the DOT to work out uh a potential solution
which could include closing that driveway. >> Okay. All right. That's my question. Thank you. >> Board members have a question. >> I had a very similar question, but [clears throat] are you familiar with the uh project PDQ up on Fowler? the tight turns that come around. It's the
same type of program, the tight turns to go around the building. Well, [clears throat] I don't know what their measurements are versus these measurements, but is there going to be sufficient room to actually make the turns to get around the buildings without I'm too close. I got to back up and move out. There's some serious
issues up there. >> Well, I do understand that in some cases there are issues with that. Um, this site has been reviewed using the auto turn uh what is it program to ensure that there's sufficient turning radius
for cars including the firet truck and delivery vehicles. Um, >> okay. Cool. >> We've looked into that. Thank you for asking. >> Thank you. >> No. Okay. >> Okay. Board members, if there are no other questions, is there a motion to
refer approve this to move to city council? >> Moved. Second. >> Any discussion of the motion? If not, all those in favor say I. >> I. >> I. Opposed? No. Nays. Motion passes. Thank you, Miss Livingstone. >> Thank you.
>> Next, we have a presentation from community development director Paulie about an update from staff, city staff, regarding a CRA plan amendment involving redevelopment area boundary modification. Good evening, Mr. Paulie. >> Good evening, chairman and [clears throat] board members. Uh once
again, Greg Paulie, director of community development. I'm here tonight with the highlevel overview of the process required to amend the CRA boundaries, which uh is a response to the board's request from the last meeting.
The current CRA boundaries include approximately 225 acres divided into four quadrants centered at the crossroads of Bush Boulevard and North 56th Street. You can see the uh graphic here on the screen to the left. The
zoning districts in this area include commercial, single family, residential, multifamily residential, and planned development districts. The future land use uh for the entire CRA area is
downtown mixed juice 35 to modify the current boundaries of the CRA will require uh that the that we go through a CRA plan amendment process. And in Florida, CRAAS are authorized and
governed by the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969 that is found in state statute uh chapter 163. Specifically within section 163361,
uh this section provides procedures for modifying the CRA plan. A summary of the legal requirements include uh the CRA board must review any proposed amendments to the CRA plan and make a recommendation to the city
council. A public hearing must be scheduled for the proposed amendments to be considered by the city council. Public notice must be given within 10 days or at least 10 days out from the hearing date.
Um, as additional recommendation, all taxing authorities participating in the advalorum collection within the CRA district should be given notice 15 days prior to the hearing. City council will then meet to consider the amendment pursuant to the public
hearings and if found to be acceptable by city council, uh, the council may adopt the proposed amendment by resolution. The first portion covers the technical stuff. Now, just a little bit more background as far as the preparation and
staff recommendations. Any amendment to the properties included in the CRA directly impact uh revenues coming into the tax increment financing fund. the property. I'm sorry. To properly document and analyze the full impact of
the amendment, certain key steps must be considered. Once the proposed amendment is clearly defined, a new legal description will have to be created. Along with that new legal description, new maps of the district will have to be
created. A full financial analysis will need to be properly will need it will be needed to properly review the long-term impacts on the TIFF fund. The proposal will be presented to the
planning commission for their review. Based on the scope of the proposed amendment, an updated finding of necessity may be required. And I say may because it has yet to be determined what the impact would be.
Uh the CRA plan, associated code amendments, and all related notices will be updated by city staff. Executive level briefings with participating taxing authorities will help staff identify and respond to any
taxing authority concerns related to the proposed amendment. This concludes my presentation. Uh, additional details are available in the staff memo in your agenda packets. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Polly. Board members, questions.
>> Council member Kravitz. >> Fantastic memo. Thank you very much. [clears throat] It was really well researched. >> Microphone. Sorry. >> Did I push something? >> Push the >> Um, thank thank you for the memo. It was really well researched. I enjoyed reading it. Um, it was very informative
as was this presentation. Um, and uh, this is exactly what I was curious about, what would it involve to try and address the CRA boundaries. Um, and as I read the memo, it led me to think about
other ways that might be um, uh, courses of lesser resistance. And one idea that came to mind was, would it be possible to exempt certain parts of the CRA from certain parts of
the CRA regulation that we currently have by passing an amendment to the CRA regulation without going through the process of changing the boundaries of the CRA? >> I'm not sure I can answer that off the cuff. I would probably have to research
that. Um, as as you probably saw in the memo, I worked with uh Mr. Mueller and also outside counsel to uh to kind of put this together. Um, and I I would think that uh outside counsel would probably be the best person to help us
work through that process. I'm sorry I don't have a an answer off the cuff for >> That's fine. Totally fine. Um, my thinking was along the lines of um, introducing some rules into the CRA's current statutory framework that would allow us to offer a little bit more protection or some exemptions, for example, from the zero lot line
requirement to areas presently or or formerly zoned single family. So, there aren't that many in the CRA. Um, but if if that were possible, that would be of great interest to me. And I think if that would avoid a lot of these bureaucratic difficulties, then that
could be a more viable approach than changing the boundary to not include those areas formally. So that was and with that I'll yield the floor. >> Thank you. >> Other questions, council members?
>> Okay. Thank you, Mr. Polly. Okay. Any other business to come before the CRA board? If not, >> Mr. Chair. >> Oh, Council Member Krauss. Um, [clears throat] >> I uh I'm going to pass around an image
from downtown to So, I'm happy to report that the um trash cans that we all installed are are doing their job. Um I've been there a few times and they're really full. And um I'm going to I'm going to quote uh Commissioner Gordon uh about Batman that
this is this is the trash can um that we have, but it's not the trash can we deserve. Um if you look at this image, you'll see that there's a ballard to keep um cars from driving into the Windixie and the top has come off of it and people are um depositing cans and
other refues directly into the Ballard. Um, so I was thinking that this could be a really good candidate for putting one more trash can in. So if everyone here is interested in putting in one more trash can, um, I have definitely seen that the trash cans that we put in are
really being used. I've been past there several times. I walked there with my wife on the way to Starbucks and they're almost always full and I've seen a lot less trash laying about. So I think I think it's uh it's going well with the trash can approach. Um, and as you can see, when there is an open pole like
this, people will use it whether or not it is a trash can. So, they are they are doing what they're supposed to do. We just have to give them the trash can that they want to do it with. So, I was thinking that this could be a a really nice thing. So, I would like to um make
a motion that we install one more trash can at this intersection corner, which is um right where when Dixie is. Let me just see if I can find the address real quick. Um, I think it's Bertha Palmer and I'll have
the the other one in just a second. And if anyone knows what it is, feel free to chime in. Um, prepared all the motions but not the address for it. That would be uh sorry for the delay.
All right. Birth of Palmer and uh there we go. Okay. So, this is Bar Plumber and of course it's not loading the street name. No one wants to help me out. All right.
Um anyway, uh at Bertha Palmer across from the electric vehicle charging station is what I'll say to more closely define where this location is. Um so if anyone would like to >> excuse me [clears throat] to to the south across the street or to the east
across the street. >> So that would be the um southeast corner of that intersection. So if you are standing um at the electric vehicles charging station, there is an intersection. the electric vehicle charging station would be on the north >> west
>> and this is on the southoutheast corner um diagonally opposite from it. So that's what that's where this is and you know it's encouraging to see that people are are using the ballard as a trash can because that trash is at least not laying around on the floor but obviously
it's not what we want to have there. So that would be uh uh that would be $500 or $1,000 really well spent in my in my mind. >> So we have a motion >> second and
>> discussion of the motion >> space that we're talking about that is cityowned. >> Oh it's not. So do we know anything about that space? >> That's Windixie property. So I would question how do we how can we put a
trash can on private property? >> Uh maybe we can instruct city staff to reach out to them and offer it to them as a gratuitity so that we can use that space uh rentree for the installation of a public trash can and then just add to the cleanliness of the area. So that that would be that would be my
suggestion. Maybe we reach out to Windixie and see whether before we before we so I I'll I'll amend that mo or withdraw that motion. And I'll make a new motion to um to reach out to Windixie and ask them whether they would welcome a trash can being installed there at city expense and with us being
responsible for the pickup like with the other trash cans. >> We have a motion >> that I Well, that I can't agree on private property. >> They're willing to do it. >> Do we have a motion? Do we have a second?
>> Do we have a second? Motion dice for lack of second. All right, we'll come back to this later. Thank you. >> Any other business to come before the CRA board? >> Okay, if not, we will be adjourned. >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> I thought this wasn't supposed to start until 6:00.
>> This this is a CRA board meeting. This city council meeting starts at 6 o'clock. >> I'll wait. >> Okay. If it's related to CRA business, you're welcome to. But okay, we will be adjourned. City council will reconvene at 6 o'clock.
