       2        Norwood Avenue.

 

       3             Mr. Chairman, this is a project that --

 

       4        this project involves 24 units.  We're getting

 

       5        it -- getting an amendment to it for a land use

 

       6        to move from MDR to HDR to -- heavy density

 

       7        residential.

 

       8             We now understand that the 20 -- the MDR

 

       9        allows for up to 20 units per acre, but we --

 

      10        because we're doing a 24-unit project, we're

 

      11        requesting that we -- a land use amendment to

 

      12        move from MDR to HDR, which allows up to

 

      13        60 units, but all we want is a modest 24 units

 

      14        for this particular project.

 

      15             The name of our project is Bellevue

 

      16        Square.  It's going to be located in the

 

      17        northeast section of Florida Avenue, between

 

      18        Van Buren and Florida Avenue.  It's north of

 

      19        1st Street, and the actual address -- we've been

 

      20        able to obtain an address so far is 1055 East

 

      21        1st Street.

       2        the community over there.  It's a good project.

 

       3        It's good for the area, happens to eliminate

 

       4        blight.  He's being very cooperative.

 

       5             Initially, they did have some type of

 

       6        disagreements, but they were able to come to an

 

       7        amicable resolution, so I support this project.

       4             THE CHAIRMAN:  I'm sorry.

 

       5             MR. KELLY:  To the Chair, the Department

 

       6        and Planning Commission recommended denial of

 

       7        this application.

 

       8             It was, I guess, deferred for a couple of

 

       9        cycles.  I believe the district councilmember,

 

      10        Councilmember Lee, was meeting with the

 

      11        applicants, and I'm not sure if they were aware

 

      12        of the hearing tonight or if they intended to

 

      13        proceed.

 

      14             (Ms. Lahmeur confers with Chairman Graham.)

 

      15             THE CHAIRMAN:  They are very well aware

 

      16        that we are taking action tonight.

 

      17             And the Planning Department and the

 

      18        Planning Commission were both not in favor of

 

      19        this, and so I guess if you're voting to support

 

      20        both the Planning Department and the commission,

 

      21        you would vote no.

 

      22             MR. WEBB:  Say that again.

 

      23             MR. CLARK:  Hit the red button.

 

      24             THE CHAIRMAN:  Anything else?

       9             That's it.

      12             MR. MAKEMSON:  Yes, I do, I accept the

      21        follows:

 

      22             Condition number 1, "The development shall

 

      23        be subject to the original legal description

 

      24        dated May 30th, 2008."

 

      25             Number 2, "The development shall be subject

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           23

 

 

       1        to the original written description dated May

 

       2        30th, 2008."

 

       3             Number 3, "The development shall be subject

 

       4        to the review and approval of the Development

 

       5        Services Division, pursuant to their memorandum

 

       6        dated June 19th, 2008, or as otherwise approved

 

       7        by the Planning and Development Department."

 

       8             Number 4, "There shall be a 20-foot

 

       9        landscape buffer on the western property line

 

      10        within the landscape buffer.  East of the

 

      11        existing brick wall an evergreen screen

 

      12        consisting of 3.5-inch caliper, 65-gallon

 

      13        Florida Fancy trees spaced 7 feet on center

 

      14        shall be planted along the western property

 

      15        line.  Permitted trees include southern

 

      16        magnolia, southern red cedar, and Nellie Stevens

 

      17        holly."

 

      18             Number 5, "There shall be one double-sided,

 

      19        internally or externally-lit monument sign not

 

      20        to exceed 15 feet in height and 50 square feet

 

      21        in area along Duval Station Road and located a

 

      22        minimum of 100 feet from the western boundary of

 

      23        the property.

                                                           24

 

 

       1        not to exceed 8 feet in height and 24 square

 

       2        feet in area along Lady Lake Road and located a

 

       3        minimum of 100 feet from the western boundary of

 

       4        the property."

 

       5             Number 6, "The architecture of the building

 

       6        shall be consistent and compatible with the

 

       7        existing shopping center and have a metal seam

 

       8        pitched roof to match that of the adjacent

 

       9        convenience store to the east, subject to the

 

      10        review and approval of the Planning and

 

      11        Development Department at the time of

 

      12        verification of substantial compliance of the

 

      13        PUD."

 

      14             Number 7, "The development shall be subject

 

      15        to the original site plan dated May 30th, 2008."

 

      16             Thank you.

 

      17             THE CHAIRMAN:  I take it, Mr. Duggan, that

 

      18        you're not in agreement with those conditions?

 

      19             MR. DUGGAN:  I just have to clarify one of

 

      20        them, and then I'm going to propose two more,

 

      21        actually.

 

      22             The clarification has to do with condition

 

      23        4, I believe it is, regarding the landscape --

 

      24        required 20-foot landscape buffer.

 

      25             At Planning Commission, it was agreed that

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           25

 

 

       1        10 feet of that landscape buffer would be west

 

       2        of the wall and 10 feet would be east of the

 

       3        wall for a total of 20 feet, and so I would like

 

       4        the written description -- the condition to be

 

       5        written in a way that clarifies that.

 

       6             So that was my first comment.

 

       7             My next --

 

       8             THE CHAIRMAN:  Let's take these one at a

 

       9        time.

 

      10             MR. DUGGAN:  Okay.  Thank you.

 

      11             THE CHAIRMAN:  Planning Department.

 

      12             MR. KELLY:  Yeah, that was our intention

 

      13        also, 10 feet on either side, so we can propose

 

      14        some language to correct that.

 

      15             THE CHAIRMAN:  Shannon, you got that

 

      16        captured?

 

      17             MS. ELLER:  I do.

 

      18             THE CHAIRMAN:  District Councilperson.

 

      19             MR. HOLT:  I agree.

 

      20             THE CHAIRMAN:  There you go.

 

      21             MR. DUGGAN:  My next -- thank you,

 

      22        Mr. Chairman.

 

      23             My next comment would be to propose a

 

      24        condition that would prohibit some uses on the

 

      25        property at the request of the district

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           26

 

 

       1        councilman.  However you want to word this, but

 

       2        the prohibited uses on this parcel would be a

 

       3        liquor store, a tattoo parlor, and an adult

 

       4        novelty book store.

 

       5             THE CHAIRMAN:  Are we good, Shannon?

 

       6             MS. ELLER:  (Nods head.)

 

       7             THE CHAIRMAN:  There you go.  Very good.

 

       8             MR. DUGGAN:  And then, lastly, I would like

 

       9        to include a condition that would revise some

 

      10        language in the written description that would

 

      11        allow whatever building is built on the property

 

      12        to face west.

 

      13             Currently, the written description provides

 

      14        that the building would face north, east, or

 

      15        south.  We want to be -- we want to revise that

 

      16        to allow it to provide -- to face west if the

 

      17        ultimate user of the parcel desired that.

 

      18             THE CHAIRMAN:  Planning Department.

 

      19             MR. KELLY:  That was, I guess, an issue.

 

      20        Their original written description just said it

 

      21        would face north, south, or east.

 

      22             We're not opposed to it necessarily facing

 

      23        west given the buffering that's provided;

 

      24        however, we would like to add a condition

 

      25        additionally with regards to lighting just so

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           27

 

 

       1        that there's a guarantee that it won't interfere

 

       2        with the residential use.

 

       3             They're not proposing any access off the

 

       4        residential subdivision street, but they want

 

       5        the building potentially to back up to the car

 

       6        wash, which is to the east of them, and the

 

       7        orientation -- I think we could support that

 

       8        with the controls on the buffering and the

 

       9        lighting.

 

      10             THE CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Duggan.

 

      11             MR. DUGGAN:  That would be acceptable, that

 

      12        there would be no migration of light to the

 

      13        residential parcel.  That would be fine.

 

      14             THE CHAIRMAN:  Thank you.

 

      15             Mr. Holt.

 

      16             MR. HOLT:  Yeah, that was just my question,

 

      17        Mr. Chair, was the lighting.  They want the

 

      18        lighting to face inward to the property so as

 

      19        not to bother the folks here in the

 

      20        residential.

 

      21             Okay.  I support that.  Thank you.

 

      22             THE CHAIRMAN:  Sounds like a win/win.

 

      23             Shannon, did you get all that?

 

      24             MS. ELLER:  (Indicating.)

 

      25             MR. KELLY:  Do you want some language?

       4        verification of substantial compliance, a

 

       5        lighting plan, including fixture types and

 

       6        footcandle illumination, for the review and

       1             Currently, commercially-zoned and operating

 

       2        properties are located only along the east and

 

       3        west sides of State Route 13.

 

       4             THE CHAIRMAN:  Before you continue, are you

 

       5        aware that we are planning on withdrawing this

 

       6        bill today?

 

       7             MS. VOLLRATH:  No.

 

       8             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.

 

       9             MS. VOLLRATH:  I see it here, but I've

 

      10        never been here before, so I'm not familiar with

 

      11        how this works.

 

      12             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.

 

      13             MS. VOLLRATH:  So it is -- it's not going

 

      14        to pass?

 

      15             THE CHAIRMAN:  We plan on withdrawing it

 

      16        unless you say something convincing me, making

 

      17        us not want to withdraw it.

 

      18             MS. VOLLRATH:  No.  I'm thrilled.

 

      19        Thank you.

 

      20             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  I just wanted to save

 

      21        you the time.

 

      22             MS. VOLLRATH:  Oh, sure.  I appreciate

 

      23        that.

 

      24             And you have to -- I have to apologize.

 

      25        It's my first time here.  I simply didn't know

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           31

 

 

       1        what I needed to do.

 

       2             THE CHAIRMAN:  You're quite fine.  I just

 

       3        wanted to save you the heartache.

 

       4             MS. VOLLRATH:  Thank you.

 

       5             THE CHAIRMAN:  Hold on just a second,

 

       6        ma'am.

 

       7             MR. WEBB:  (Inaudible.)

 

       8             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  If you'll just hold

 

       9        on, the district councilperson wants to talk to

 

      10        you in just a minute.

 

      11             Seeing no other speakers, we'll close the

 

      12        public hearing.

 

      13             MR. JOOST:  Move to withdraw.

 

      14             MR. HOLT:  Second.

 

      15             THE CHAIRMAN:  It's been moved and seconded

 

      16        to withdraw, and we want to hear from the

 

      17        district councilperson.

 

      18             MR. WEBB:  Thank you.

 

      19             I do need to declare ex-parte on this even

 

      20        though we are withdrawing it.

 

      21             On August 14th, which was last Thursday, I

 

      22        had a meeting with Justin Hart, who was the

 

      23        developer, John Crofts, and other

 

      24        representatives of the Planning Department

 

      25        wherein we discussed withdrawal of this matter

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           32

 

 

       1        or other legal complexities as well, and we --

 

       2        it was determined to withdraw this bill.

 

       3             Thank you.

 

       4             THE CHAIRMAN:  Thank you, Mr. Webb.

 

       5             Any further discussion on the withdrawal?

 

       6             COMMITTEE MEMBERS:  (No response.)

 

       7             THE CHAIRMAN:  Seeing none, please open the

 

       8        ballot.

      21             THE CHAIRMAN:  By your action, you have

 

      22        withdrawn 2008-515.

 

      23             Top of page 11.  -516.  Open the public

 

      24        hearing.  We have Paige Johnston.

                                                           33

 

 

       1             MS. JOHNSTON:  Paige Johnston, 1301

 

       2        Riverplace Boulevard, on behalf of the

 

       3        applicant.

 

       4             This is a rezoning application off of

 

       5        Spring Glen Road for an additional 78 units.

 

       6        There's already six units existing.

 

       7             This is a prime example of infill

 

       8        development.  We're exited about the project.

 

       9        We've spoken with Mr. Redman about the project,

 

      10        and we're agreeable to the conditions within the

 

      11        staff report, assuming -- I need a clarification

 

      12        on one of the conditions, so can we just talk

 

      13        about that briefly with the Planning

 

      14        Department?

 

      15             THE CHAIRMAN:  You want to do that after we

 

      16        close the public hearing or do you want to do

 

      17        that on the side?

 

      18             MS. JOHNSTON:  I guess we'll close the

 

      19        public hearing.

 

      20             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  We'll close the

 

      21        public hearing.

 

      22             Someone move the amendment.

 

      23             DR. GAFFNEY:  Move the amendment.

 

      24             MR. HOLT:  Second.

 

      25             THE CHAIRMAN:  The amendment's been moved

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           34

 

 

       1        and seconded.

 

       2             Can we hear the amendment, please.

 

       3             MR. CROFTS:  The amendment is as follows:

 

       4             Condition number 1, "The development shall

 

       5        be subject to the original legal description

 

       6        dated May 28th, 2008."

 

       7             Number 2, "The development shall be subject

 

       8        to the revised written description dated July

 

       9        7th, 2008."

 

      10             Number 3, "The development shall be subject

 

      11        to the revised site plan dated July 23rd, 2008."

 

      12             Number 4, "The development shall be subject

 

      13        to the review and approval of the Development

 

      14        Services Division, pursuant to their memorandum

 

      15        dated June 23rd, 2008, or as otherwise approved

 

      16        by the Planning and Development Department."

 

      17             Number 5, "Ground-mounted or monument-style

 

      18        signage shall be externally illuminated only."

 

      19             Number 6 and finally, "Prior to the

 

      20        verification of substantial compliance, the

 

      21        developer shall submit architectural elevations

 

      22        of both the townhome and condominium buildings

 

      23        subject to the review and approval of the

 

      24        Planning and Development Department."

 

      25             That's it.

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           35

 

 

       1             THE CHAIRMAN:  Ms. Johnston.

 

       2             MS. JOHNSTON:  And my question has to do

 

       3        with condition number 4, the traffic

 

       4        memorandum.

 

       5             I just wanted to clarify, my engineer,

 

       6        David Touring, spoke with Lisa King last week

 

       7        regarding her memorandum, and there's two items

 

       8        within the memorandum that refer to -- the first

 

       9        one is, "Spring Glen Road shall be improved to a

 

      10        standard City street," and then there's also

 

      11        number 4, "provide sidewalks in accordance with

 

      12        the 2010 Comprehensive Plan."

 

      13             When Mr. Touring spoke to Lisa King, she

 

      14        confirmed for him that that only relates to the

 

      15        portion of Spring Glen Road that the property

 

      16        fronts because it looks as though the road

 

      17        is already wide up until that point, and then

 

      18        it's -- it looks like it gets much smaller.

 

      19             So I wanted to confirm that the widening of

 

      20        the road and the sidewalk requirements only

 

      21        apply to that portion that -- that fronts the

 

      22        property.

 

      23             MR. KELLY:  Through the Chair to the

 

      24        applicant, yeah, they would not be responsible

 

      25        for, obviously, improving or widening all of

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           36

 

 

       1        Spring Glen Road.  It's just the portion that

 

       2        fronts their property, to continue that portion

 

       3        of right-of-way to a -- basically, they --

 

       4             They would have to have a wide enough

 

       5        road.  It would have to meet a City standard

 

       6        from the existing connection and how they tie

 

       7        into that.

 

       8             The sidewalks -- you know, it is all

 

       9        subject to traffic engineering.  They would have

 

      10        to put a sidewalk along their frontage.  We

 

      11        would like the sidewalk, obviously, to tie into

 

      12        an existing sidewalk, if possible, and I don't

 

      13        know if that's achievable in this instance,

 

      14        whether or not the subdivision immediately south

 

      15        of there actually has a sidewalk or not.

 

      16             MS. JOHNSTON:  My engineer is indicating

 

      17        that it does not.

 

      18             MR. KELLY:  I mean, I would just defer back

 

      19        to the traffic engineer or the -- Lisa King,

 

      20        Development Services memorandum.  It's

 

      21        approved -- or as otherwise approved by her, so

 

      22        if they've met and discussed this issue, then

 

      23        she'll see it in ten-set and be able to make

 

      24        those adjustments.

 

      25             THE CHAIRMAN:  So we're good?

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           37

 

 

       1             MS. JOHNSTON:  I think so, yes.

 

       2             THE CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Redman, are we good?

 

       3             MR. REDMAN:  Yes.

 

       4             You know, the only questions that I've had

 

       5        and we've discussed is traffic on Spring Glen

 

       6        Road from Beach Boulevard to that point.  There

 

       7        has been some concern, but I -- I think that --

 

       8        I think that it will work fine.

 

       9             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Thank you, sir.

 

      10             Mr. Joost.

 

      11             MR. JOOST:  I mean, are they going to get a

 

      12        sidewalk or not?

 

      13             MS. JOHNSTON:  There would be the sidewalk

 

      14        in front of the property.

 

      15             MR. JOOST:  So they're getting -- they're

 

      16        going to get a sidewalk?

 

      17             MR. KELLY:  The -- yeah.  The requirement

 

      18        would be, regardless, to provide a sidewalk in

 

      19        the existing right-of-way that they front, so it

 

      20        would be -- they'd either be required to do that

 

      21        or contribute into the sidewalk fund of Public

 

      22        Works, and they basically utilize dollars for

 

      23        sidewalk projects that would connect.

 

      24             In this instance, they could have the

 

      25        option to either build it or essentially pay

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           38

 

 

       1        into the fund, and that's kind of the -- the

 

       2        City's policy in regards to that.

 

       3             MR. JOOST:  Well, if they pay into the

 

       4        fund, does that guarantee them a sidewalk there

 

       5        or does the project go somewhere else, depending

 

       6        on priority?

 

       7             MR. KELLY:  That -- right.

 

       8             It wouldn't necessarily go there.  We could

 

       9        require that they build a sidewalk there, but

 

      10        the lack of connectivity to another sidewalk and

 

      11        whether or not there's a sidewalk eventually

 

      12        that may be going down to Beach Boulevard, if --

 

      13        if that's proposed at some point in the future,

 

      14        there would be, then, at least that connectivity

 

      15        down to Beach Boulevard where the sidewalk is,

 

      16        but it --

 

      17             It would be a little onerous of them to be

 

      18        required, I think, to extend the sidewalk off

 

      19        site, down to Beach Boulevard, and make that

 

      20        their responsibility.  So the City's policy is

 

      21        either that they build it in the right-of-way

 

      22        that they front -- if there's something that is

 

      23        reasonable to connect to, then they can go

 

      24        off site to some degree, based on the number of

 

      25        units or number of lots, typically, with a

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           39

 

 

       1        subdivision.  Otherwise, they --

 

       2             MR. JOOST:  So what I'm hearing is they may

 

       3        or may not get a sidewalk?

 

       4             MR. KELLY:  We can specifically require

 

       5        them to -- we typically allow them the option,

 

       6        so we can --

 

       7             MR. JOOST:  Well, is that -- I would go to

 

       8        the district councilperson.

 

       9             I mean, is that going to be a big deal to

 

      10        the residents if they don't get a sidewalk?

 

      11             MR. REDMAN:  Through the Chair, the --

 

      12        we're talking about a half a mile from that

 

      13        point to Beach Boulevard.  I think we probably

 

      14        would be asking a bit much for them, to require

 

      15        them to put a sidewalk from that point to Beach

 

      16        Boulevard.

 

      17             MS. JOHNSTON:  I just want to clarify, we

 

      18        don't have a problem with putting the sidewalk

 

      19        in front of our property, but we wanted to make

 

      20        clear that if -- we wanted to make clear whether

 

      21        they were asking us to connect to the next

 

      22        sidewalk, which, as Mr. Redman said, may be some

 

      23        distance, and so we wanted to make sure that

 

      24        that wasn't an obligation, that we have to

 

      25        connect to the nearest sidewalk.

                                                           40

 

 

       1             MR. JOOST:  All right.  Thank you.

 

       2             THE CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Redman, do you still

 

       3        want to speak?

 

       4             MR. REDMAN:  No.

 

       5             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.

 

       6             All right.  So we're all good?

 

       7             MS. JOHNSTON:  Yes, sir.

 

       8             THE CHAIRMAN:  We're on the amendment.

 

       9             All in favor of the amendment say aye.

      12             2008-517.  Open the public hearing.

 

      13             We'll continue the public hearing and take

 

      14        no further action.

 

      15             -518.  Open the public hearing.

 

      16             We'll continue.  Take no further action.

 

      17             2008-551 and -552.  We'll open the public

 

      18        hearing -- I'm sorry, -541 and -542.

 

      19             Seeing no speakers, we'll close the public

 

      20        hearing and take no further action.

 

      21             Page 12.  2008-543.  We'll open the public

 

      22        hearing.

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           42

 

 

       1        record, and you have three minutes, ma'am.

 

       2             AUDIENCE MEMBER:  Alice Barrett, 1888 Lake

 

       3        Shore Boulevard, Jacksonville, Florida 32210.

 

       4             I'm just basically here if anyone has any

 

       5        questions or if there was anybody opposing

 

       6        anything.

 

       7             THE CHAIRMAN:  Looks like you're kind of

 

       8        clear right now, but hold tight.

 

       9             We'll close the public hearing.

 

      10             MR. WEBB:  Move the bill.

 

      11             MR. CLARK:  Second.

 

      12             (Ms. Lahmeur confers with Chairman Graham.)

 

      13             MR. KELLY:  To the Chair, this is a

 

      14        companion application with the next rezoning,

 

      15        -544.  I think we had a request for a deferral

 

      16        for one cycle from the district councilmember.

 

      17             THE CHAIRMAN:  Now, what I got was a

 

      18        request for -544, but not -543.

 

      19             MS. ELLER:  I think that was an error on

 

      20        their part.

 

      21             MR. KELLY:  They're tied together.  I think

 

      22        he was looking at just the zoning, but the land

 

      23        use and the zoning should go together.

 

      24             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Ma'am, were you aware

 

      25        that the district councilperson had asked for a

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           43

 

 

       1        deferral?

 

       2             MS. BARRETT:  No.

 

       3             Everything I knew was okay.

 

       4             THE CHAIRMAN:  Well, the district

 

       5        councilperson had asked for a deferral.  I got

 

       6        the e-mail before coming down here, and I -- I

 

       7        thought he had just asked for -544, but it seems

 

       8        like he asked for both -544 and -543.

 

       9             So I guess I would -- my suggestion would

 

      10        be to contact Michael Corrigan, who is the

 

      11        district councilperson out there, and find out

 

      12        what it is that he's got questions about because

 

      13        he said that he still had some things that he

 

      14        wanted to look at, so he wanted -- asked us to

 

      15        defer this bill.

 

      16             MS. BARRETT:  Okay.  If we call his office,

 

      17        will he actually talk to us for a change?

 

      18             THE CHAIRMAN:  Ma'am, all I can do is

 

      19        suggest that you call his office.

 

      20             MS. BARRETT:  Okay.  Thank you.

 

      21             THE CHAIRMAN:  All right.

 

      22             Mr. Joost.

 

      23             MR. JOOST:  At the risk of asking a

 

      24        question that doesn't make much sense, but I'm

 

      25        going to, what's the purpose of the deferral if

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           44

 

 

       1        we're not taking action tonight anyway and the

 

       2        public hearing is continued in the future?

 

       3             THE CHAIRMAN:  Well, we were going to move

 

       4        that bill today.

 

       5             MR. JOOST:  It just says open and continue,

 

       6        no other action on my agenda.

 

       7             (Ms. Lahmeur confers with Mr. Joost.)

 

       8             MR. CLARK:  I have the same thing.

 

       9             THE CHAIRMAN:  Gotcha.

 

      10             MR. JOOST:  All right.  Never mind.

 

      11             THE CHAIRMAN:  I gotcha.

 

      12             All right.  So we will reopen that public

 

      13        hearing and continue and take no further action,

 

      14        and we will open the public hearing on -544 and

 

      15        continue the public hearing and take no further

 

      16        action.

 

      17             Bottom of page 12.  2008-545.  Open the

      20             MR. JOOST:  Move the bill.

 

      21             THE CHAIRMAN:  Hold on.  We've got a public

 

      22        hearing.

 

      23             2008-587.  We'll open the public hearing.

 

      24             MR. CLARK:  We don't have a public

 

      25        hearing.

       1             THE CHAIRMAN:  I have a public hearing on

 

       2        mine.

 

       3             Do we have a card?

 

       4             MS. ALLEN:  Yes, we do.

 

       5             THE CHAIRMAN:  Come on.  Let him speak.

 

       6             Come on down, sir.

 

       7             (Audience member approaches the podium.)

 

       8             AUDIENCE MEMBER:  Hello.  Good afternoon.

      13             THE CHAIRMAN:  It says you're here for

 

      14        questions only?

 

      15             MR. SACERIO:  That's correct.

 

      16             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Any questions?

 

      17             COMMITTEE MEMBERS:  (No response.)

 

      18             THE CHAIRMAN:  Seeing none, we will close

 

      19        the public hearing.

      21             MR. CLARK:  Second.

 

      22             THE CHAIRMAN:  The bill's been moved and

 

      23        seconded.

      22             We have Mr. Harden.

 

      23             (Mr. Harden approaches the podium.)

 

      24             THE CHAIRMAN:  Welcome, sir.

 

      25             MR. HARDEN:  Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           48

 

 

       1             Paul Harden, 1301 Riverplace Boulevard.

 

       2             Maybe to save some time, this bill is the

 

       3        start of five pages of settlement agreements and

 

       4        remedial legislation arising out of the fall

 

       5        2007 comp plan series.

 

       6             The Department of Community Affairs

 

       7        objected to a whole slew of amendments by the

 

       8        City, generally based on traffic methodology

 

       9        issues.

 

      10             Over the last almost eight months in

 

      11        negotiations between the landowners and the DCA

 

      12        and in cooperation -- or the City and the DCA,

 

      13        in cooperation with the landowners, there have

 

      14        been agreements made -- settlement agreements

 

      15        made with the Department of Community Affairs.

 

      16             Generally speaking, what the settlements do

 

      17        is put an asterisk on the map -- the comp plan

 

      18        map, which limits the development on the site,

 

      19        notwithstanding the land use designation, so

 

      20        that there are not traffic -- there are not

 

      21        traffic impacts in excess of what our current

 

      22        Capital Improvement Element will cure.

 

      23             So you have a settlement agreement --

 

      24        entering into that agreement, and then you have

 

      25        a companion piece of legislation which

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           49

 

 

       1        implements that settlement agreement.  This goes

 

       2        all the way through number 78 on the agenda, and

 

       3        they're all settlement agreements and the

 

       4        companion rezonings.

 

       5             This happens to be one out on the Westside

 

       6        which caps the number of square feet in a

 

       7        commercial use so that the Capital Improvement

 

       8        Element takes care of any traffic impacts using

 

       9        the DCA methodology.

 

      10             So rather than go through that on each one,

 

      11        unless there's any questions, I'll stand by.

 

      12             THE CHAIRMAN:  I don't see any questions.

 

      13             Any questions of the applicant?

 

      14             COMMITTEE MEMBERS:  (No response.)

 

      15             THE CHAIRMAN:  Seeing none, we'll close the

 

      16        public hearing.

 

      17             MR. WEBB:  Move the bill.

 

      18             MR. CLARK:  Second.

 

      19             THE CHAIRMAN:  The bill's been moved and

 

      20        seconded.

 

      21             Any discussion on the bill?

 

      22             COMMITTEE MEMBERS:  (No response.)

 

      23             THE CHAIRMAN:  Seeing none, please open the

 

      24        ballot.

 

      25             (Committee ballot opened.)

                                                           50

 

 

       1             THE CHAIRMAN:  Close the ballot and record

 

       2        the vote.

       9             MR. REDMAN:  (Votes yea.)

 

      10             (Committee ballot closed.)

 

      11             MR. LAHMEUR:  Seven yeas, zero nays.

 

      12             THE CHAIRMAN:  By your action, you have

 

      13        approved -604.

 

      14             Top of page 17.  -605.  We'll open the

 

      15        public hearing.

 

      16             MR. HARDEN:  This is the companion remedial

 

      17        amendment for -604.

 

      18             THE CHAIRMAN:  Any questions?

 

      19             MR. JOOST:  I have one.

 

      20             THE CHAIRMAN:  Sure.  Go ahead.

 

      21             Mr. Joost.

 

      22             MR. JOOST:  What is -- is there any

 

      23        monetary amounts involved here or are these

 

      24        just --

 

      25             MR. HARDEN:  All -- Councilman Joost,

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           51

 

 

       1        that's really kind of a separate issue to these

 

       2        pieces of legislation, but, yes, every one of

 

       3        these rezonings -- land use map amendments, also

 

       4        has a companion fair share agreement whereby the

 

       5        developer or landowner has entered into a fair

 

       6        share agreement with the City to repair the

 

       7        links that were down.

 

       8             Now, what happened was, using some of those

 

       9        fair share dollars, there were items, there were

 

      10        road links that were identified in the Capital

 

      11        Improvement Element that we didn't have in

 

      12        there.  But now with the combination of City

 

      13        dollars, regular dollars, State dollars, and

 

      14        fair share dollars there was enough money to put

 

      15        that in the Capital Improvement Element so that

 

      16        it's in a financially-feasible period of time.

 

      17        This one has a specific fair share which is,

 

      18        like, five or six million bucks.

 

      19             So the -- yeah, most of them have fair

 

      20        shares.  It's an unrelated activity.  Most of

 

      21        the fair shares have already been approved by

 

      22        the council.

 

      23             MR. JOOST:  Okay.  Thank you.

 

      24             THE CHAIRMAN:  Ms. Eller.

 

      25             MS. ELLER:  Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           52

 

 

       1             Also, to Mr. Joost, the settlements don't

 

       2        cost the City anything.  There's no dollar

 

       3        amount attached to any legal fees or any cash

 

       4        changing hands when we settled the lawsuits with

 

       5        DCA.

 

       6             THE CHAIRMAN:  The only thing it costs us

 

       7        is your time.

 

       8             MR. KELLY:  Correct.

 

       9             MS. ELLER:  Correct.

 

      10             THE CHAIRMAN:  Anything else?

 

      11             MR. JOOST:  (Inaudible.)

 

      12             MR. HARDEN:  Do you want me to respond to

 

      13        that?

 

      14             THE CHAIRMAN:  Go ahead.

 

      15             MR. HARDEN:  Yeah, it actually -- actually,

 

      16        the fair shares, generally, Councilman Joost,

 

      17        are in effect.

 

      18             Typically, a fair share agreement is going

 

      19        to have a cap on it, on the number of square

 

      20        feet.  So what you will generally see is the

 

      21        number of square feet that is capped by the

 

      22        asterisk on the remedial legislation matches up

 

      23        to the number in the fair share that you did a

 

      24        year or so ago.

 

      25             So -- because the Department of Community

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           53

 

 

       1        Affairs is -- we're just looking at the land

 

       2        use.  We're not looking at the zoning.  The PUD

 

       3        on the site might limit it to 100,000 square

 

       4        feet of commercial, but what they do is they

 

       5        look at it and say, well, it's 20 acres.  You

 

       6        might can put 500,000 square feet.  So the

 

       7        asterisk caps the number of square feet within

 

       8        the classification, and there's a matching

 

       9        number in the fair share that limits it to that

 

      10        use as well.

 

      11             And some of them are residential, some of

 

      12        them are commercial, so the -- it's either

 

      13        square feet or number of dwelling units.

 

      14             THE CHAIRMAN:  Are you good?

 

      15             MR. JOOST:  (Nods head.)

 

      16             THE CHAIRMAN:  All right.  Thank you,

 

      17        Mr. Harden.

 

      18             We'll close that public hearing.

 

      19             MR. WEBB:  Move the bill.

 

      20             MR. JOOST:  Second.

 

      21             THE CHAIRMAN:  The bill's been moved and

 

      22        seconded.

 

      23             Any discussion on the bill?

 

      24             COMMITTEE MEMBERS:  (No response.)

 

      25             THE CHAIRMAN:  Seeing none, please open the

      12             MR. LAHMEUR:  Six yeas, zero nays.

 

      13             THE CHAIRMAN:  By your action, you have

 

      14        approved -605.

 

      15             Thank you, Mr. Harden.

 

      16             -606 and -607, we have a request for

 

      17        deferral, so we will open the public hearing on

 

      18        that.

 

      19             Seeing no speakers, we will continue the
