Diane M.
Tropia,
9
1 LUZ meeting.
2 We are on the top of page 8, 2007-1215. We

4 I have Mr.
5 (Mr. Hainline approaches the podium.)
6 THE CHAIRMAN: Good evening.
7 MR. HAINLINE: Good evening.
8
9 This is the long pending Pine Grove
10
11 recall that your staff recommended approval and
12 th
13 problem.
14 Mr. Harden, representing the landowner down
15 the street, had some objections. Part of his
16 concer
17 another proposed fair share contract which now
18 has been introduced that, in part, has resolved
19 his concerns. He, as I understand it, is no
20 longer opposed. He's not here.
21 So I'd be happy to answer any questions to
22 this. Again, your staff has recommended
23 approval.
24 And we also agreed in part, at the request
25 of some of you, to an amendment which shortened
Diane M.
Tropia,
10
1 the term of this to five years. We also
2 proposed a little more restrictive performance
3 schedule. We proposed those items.
4 Mr. Reingold asked me before the hearing, are we
5 still agreeable to those amendments. We
6 certainly are.
7 And, with that, I would be happy to answer
8 any questions.
9 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you,
10 Mr. Hainline.
11 We don't have any questions at this point.
12 If you'll stick around for the amendment, I'd
13 appreciate it.
14 Seeing no other speakers, we'll close that
15 public hearing.
16 MR. CLARK: Move the amendment.
17 MR. WEBB: Second.
18 THE CHAIRMAN: I have a motion and a second
19 on the amendment.
20 Who wants to let us know about the
21 amendment? Is that Mr. Reingold?
22 MR. REINGOLD: To the Chair, it's my
23 understanding that the amendment essentially was
24 as Mr. Hainline had explained. It was a
25 developer-proposed amendment essentially; a more
Diane M.
Tropia,
11
1 strict performance schedule; and, additionally,
2 a limitation of the duration of it to five
3 years.
4 THE CHAIRMAN: All right. Thank you for
5 confirming that.

11 president steps back into the room.
12 Item 24 and 25, 2007-1310 and -1311, are

15 Good evening, Councilmember. Do you have a
16 specific bill you're here in reference to?
17 MR. JONES: I didn't get an agenda, but
18 it's at the bottom of --
19 MS. LAHMEUR: Page 10.
20 THE CHAIRMAN: I think we just passed

5 recommendation of approval from the Northside
6 CPAC, as well as the industrial technical
7 committee [sic]. The Planning Department has
8 recommended approval.
9 There has been a slight adjustment with a
10 couple of conditions. I would just like to have
11 those read, but I think we've -- we were all in
12 agreeance to the conditions -- a deletion of a
13 condition and an addition of a condition at --
14 at Planning Commission, and I would appreciate
15 that.
16 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you,
17 Mr. Kupperman.
18 We'll go ahead and -- I don't see any

24 Street.
25 Basically, I'm just here -- no one is in

3 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. Well, if you will

10 THE CHAIRMAN: I have a motion and a second

12 Councilmember Jones, do you have input or
13 just --
14 MR. JONES: Yeah. I appreciate it.
15 Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate your
16 indulgence.
17 I understand -- I just want to make sure
18 I'm clear on something. I inherited this
19 problem. I just want to make sure I'm clear on
20 the -- some of the issues. One is the property
21 has already been deeded to RADO; is that
22 correct?
23 MR. HAYES: (Inaudible.)
24 MR. JONES: Just come to the microphone so
25 we can get you on record.
Diane M.
Tropia,
19
1 MR. HAYES: Yes. The -- it was deeded to
2 RADO in August of '06.
3 MR. JONES: Okay. And it's also been
4 approved by the council for an affordable
5 housing site?
6 MR. HAYES: That's correct.
7 MR. JONES: And the -- you've already been
8 approved for --
9 MR. HAYES: That was the intended purpose.
10 That's part of the deed. That was a part of the
11 covenants --
12 MR. JONES: And you've already been
13 approved for a subsidy of dollars for -- to
14 develop the site, to keep the cost down and make
15 it affordable?
16 MR. HAYES: That's correct.
17 MR. JONES: Okay. There was one -- thank
18 you.
19 There was one person in opposition. I
20 talked to him over the phone. And after
21 explaining to him what my concerns were -- I
22 didn't think we could, in fairness to RADO,
23 delay this any longer, so -- I don't see them
24 here, so perhaps he was -- perhaps he was
25 satisfied with my explanation.
Diane M.
Tropia,
20
1 But I just wanted to make sure on the
2 record that I had those three facts in place,
3 and I appreciate the committee's work.
4 Thank you.

4 are as follows:

6 original legal description dated July 20th,
7 2007."
8 Number 2, "The developer shall be subject
9 to the original written description dated July
10 20th, 2007."
11 Thirdly, "The development shall be subject
12 to the original site plan dated July 20th,

21 THE CHAIRMAN: By your action, you have
22 approved 2008-109.
23 I want to personally thank Councilmember
24 Jones. It did start before you got there, but
25 this is a great reuse of some land that the City
Diane M.
Tropia,
23
1 wasn't taking full advantage of for affordable
2 housing. So I appreciate your efforts in that.
3 So thank you.
4 We're now starting a series of small scale
5 amendments. On each one of these small scale
6 amendments, I will open the companion public
7 hearings at the same time and take up cards on
8 both of them.
9 The first two is item 35 and 36, 2008-135
10 and -136. We'll open both those public
11 hearings.
12 He do have John Duss here on -135 and -136.
13 (Audience member approaches the podium.)
14 THE CHAIRMAN: Good evening.
15 AUDIENCE MEMBER: Good evening.
16 I'm John Duss, 10110 San Jose Boulevard.
17 I'm here representing the applicant,
18 Mr. Kassab, and the ultimate buyer, Brumos Motor
19 Cars.
20 This is a small scale land use amendment.
21 I think there's no opposition to it. We worked
22 with the councilman, and I believe that he's now
23 in favor of the proposal.
24 On the PUD, on -136, there are some
25 amendments on that. We've discussed those and
Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203
24
1 we agree with them.
2 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay.
3 MR. DUSS: I'm here to -- I'll answer any
4 questions.
5 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Mr. Duss.
6 MR. DUSS: Thank you.
7 THE CHAIRMAN: I see no questions at this

24 that's okay with you.
25 We will open the public hearing on
Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203
32
1 2007-1308. I have several cards. I'll go ahead
2 and call them out and you can come up in
3 whatever order you want: Jeannie Cave, followed
4 by Jeff Thompson, Lisa Pulley, and E.J.
5 Shrowder.
6 (Audience member approaches the podium.)
7 AUDIENCE MEMBER: Hello. Good evening,
8 members of the council.
9 My name is Jeannie Cave. I represent Cox
10 Enterprises and Cox Radio, and we have all
11 agreed that we agree to the revised conditions
12 of the site, and we're here to answer any
13 questions that you may have.
14 So I don't have to give my 40-minute
15 speech.
16 THE CHAIRMAN: Good. Thank you. We
17 appreciate it.
18 Jeff Thompson --
19 AUDIENCE MEMBER: No further comment.
20 THE CHAIRMAN: -- is here in support of the
21 bill.
22 Lisa Pulley --
23 AUDIENCE MEMBER: No further comment.
24 THE CHAIRMAN: -- is here in support of the

Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203
33
1 Eric Pulley is here --
2 AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Nods head.)
3 THE CHAIRMAN: -- in support of the bill.
4 And E.J. Shrowder is here opposed to the

6 Is Mr. Shrowder here?
7 AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Indicating.)
8 THE CHAIRMAN: Please come on up.
9 AUDIENCE MEMBER: No comment.
10 THE CHAIRMAN: You're okay?
11 AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Nods head.)
12 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. He's opposed to the
13 bill.
14 All right. Thank you.
15 Seeing no other speakers, we'll close that
16 public hearing. We will go to Council President
17 Davis, please.
18 MR. DAVIS: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
19 We were just meeting in the back and Folks
20 and Sean helped us work through kind of what's
21 allowed on the property now. And it's not
22 really a rezoning; it's just kind of pulling a
23 piece out to allow the same thing.
24 Mr. Shrowder was really concerned with
25 loud, like, dump trucks at night and heavy
Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203
34
1 equipment, and I think that Sean has worked up
2 some language that would alleviate a lot of his
3 concerns. And I think there's a limitation on
4 the size of the building too. That helps
5 Mr. Shrowder out.
6 So I don't know if Sean would like to
7 say the -- give us the amendment, and then you
8 could maybe look to both parties and make sure
9 that they understand what we talked about in the
10 back so there isn't any confusion.
11 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. We can do that.
12 Mr. Kelly, do you want to explain it to
13 us?
14 MR. KELLY: Certainly.
15 Ordinance 2007-1308, waiver of road
16 frontage, seeks to reduce it from thirty-five
17 feet to zero feet to allow for the
18 rehabilitation of an existing building that is
19 currently owned by Cox Radio and looks to
20 essentially sell the building to the applicant,
21 Mr. Hudson. The subject property is
22 approximately one acre in size.
23 We reviewed the application against all the
24 criteria for a waiver of road frontage. Again,
25 this is reestablishing the previous use of the
Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203
35
1 property as -- historically, this has been an
2 office, and will allow for the redevelopment and
3 improvement to this, and we find that it meets
4 all the criteria for a waiver.
5 We are recommending approval subject to
6 three conditions:
7 The first condition is, "The subject
8 property shall not be further subdivided without
9 bringing the existing easement into compliance
10 with City standards and dedicating it as an
11 approved public right-of-way or an approved
12 public right-of-way."
13 Condition 2, "The subject property shall be
14 limited to 12,000 square feet of professional or
15 business office uses, subject to the review and
16 approval of the Planning and Development
17 Department."
18 And then condition 3, "Heavy equipment
19 storage shall be prohibited."
20 With those conditions, the department is
21 recommending approval.
22 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. To Ms. Cave and to
23 Mr. Shrowder, are those the conditions you
24 talked about in the back?
25 MS. CAVE: Absolutely.
Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203
36
1 MR. SHROWDER: Yes.
2 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. They are both
3 indicating that they agree with that, so we will
4 now take a motion on the amendment.
5 MR. SHAD: Motion to grant.
6 MR. CLARK: Second.
7 THE CHAIRMAN: We've got a motion and a
8 second.
9 Council President Davis.
10 MR. DAVIS: Yeah. I just wanted to clarify
11 that the 12,000 square feet is the exact
12 footprint of what is there right now, so you're
13 not going to be expanding, correct?
14 MR. KELLY: That's correct.
15 Initially, we --
16 MR. DAVIS: I just wanted to --
17 MR. KELLY: -- had 10- in our report. So
18 there was an error in the report. When the
19 applicant came back, they said they previously
20 had 12,000 square feet there.
21 MR. DAVIS: So it's not -- you're not
22 making it any bigger; it's just he's going to
23 improve the piece of property, but it's going to
24 stay the same footprint.
25 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you.
Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203
37
1 All right. We've got a motion and a second
2 on the amendment.
3 All in favor of the amendment signal by

15 MR. CROFTS: Through the Chair -- to the
16 Chair, I believe the PUD actually extends
17 further on back than the land use -- the land
18 use amendment, and encompasses some additional
19 lands, so I think the figures are accurate.

17 Item 47, 2008-147. We'll open that public
18 hearing.
19 We have one speaker, Ms. Emily Pierce.
20 (Ms. Pierce approaches the podium.)
21 THE CHAIRMAN: Good evening.
22 MS. PIERCE: Hello.
23 Emily Pierce, 1301 Riverplace Boulevard.
24 This is a request for a sign waiver to
25 replace an existing sign with a new sign. We
Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203
48
1 have a new owner, and it's for a gas station,
2 and they're going to reopen the gas station and
3 they just would like to replace the sign with
4 the new one for the gas station.
5 I'm available for any questions.
6 THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you very much.
7 I don't see any questions for the speaker,
8 so we will close that public hearing.
9 MR. CLARK: Move to grant.
10 MR. WEBB: Second.
11 THE CHAIRMAN: I have an amendment to grant
12 the waiver and a second.
13 All in favor of the amendment signal by
14 saying aye.
15 COMMITTEE MEMBERS: Aye.
16 THE CHAIRMAN: All opposed.
17 COMMITTEE MEMBERS: (No response.)
18 THE CHAIRMAN: The amendment carries.
19 Does the Planning Department have input?
20 MR. KELLY: Right. I just wanted to
21 clarify the conditions on the record, I guess.
22 THE CHAIRMAN: Sure.
23 MR. KELLY: This is, again, a request to
24 reduce the setback requirement from 10 feet to
25 4 feet, again, to replace a sign.
Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203

1 We find that the sign, in this instance,
2 again, is compatible with the contiguous
3 signage, and the proposed type of sign will
4 ensure the health, safety, and welfare. It is a
5 pylon sign, but it is limited in height and in
6 area.
7 The conditions for approval will restrict
8 additional signs on the property, so we feel it
9 is meeting the intent of the request.
10 We do have, I think, four conditions of
11 approval, and I will read those.
12 The first condition is, "The waiver will
13 apply to the new sign on the property only. No
14 additional ground or pylon signs or increase in
15 area to the proposed sign shall be permitted
16 until such time the sign is removed or brought
17 into compliance with sign setbacks per part 13
18 of the zoning code."
19 Condition 2, "The base of the sign is to be
20 landscaped."
21 "Landscaping shall be subject to the review
22 and approval of the Planning and Development
23 Department."
24 "The overall height of the sign shall be
25 limited to 20 feet and the sign shall be limited

50
1 to 70 square feet in area."
2 With those four conditions, we're
3 recommending approval.
4 THE CHAIRMAN: Okay. Ms. Pierce, do you
5 agree with all those conditions?
6 MS. PIERCE: Yes, we do.
7 THE CHAIRMAN: All right. Thank you very
8 much.
9 We already had a motion and a second on the
10 amendment, which I think included all those
11 conditions, correct?
12 MR. CLARK: Yes.
13 THE CHAIRMAN: So we are now on the bill as
14 amended.
15 Seeing no discussion, open -- I need a
16 motion and a second first.
17 MR. SHAD: Move the bill.
18 MR. CLARK: Second.
19 THE CHAIRMAN: I have a motion and a second
20 on 2008-147.
21 I still don't see any discussion, so open
22 the ballot, record the vote.
23 (Committee ballot opened.)
24 MR. CORRIGAN: (Votes yea.)
25 MR. YARBOROUGH: (Votes yea.)

10 MS. PIERCE: Thank you.
11 THE CHAIRMAN: We appreciate it.

13 backwards on your agenda. We're going to take
14 up item number 49 first. We'll actually open
15 both the public hearings on 2008-171 and -170.
