       2             THE CHAIRMAN:  By your action, you have

 

       3        approved 2007-1011.

 

       4             I forgot to say this at the beginning.  The

 

       5        members that are here are Councilmember Webb,

 

       6        Councilmember Clark, I'm Chairman Michael

 

       7        Corrigan, Councilmember Clay Yarborough is our

 

       8        Vice Chairman, and Councilmember Shad is here.

 

       9             Councilmembers Jones and Lee both have an

 

      10        excusal for this evening.

 

      11             We do have a visiting councilmember,

 

      12        Councilmember Bill Bishop.  I think Mr. Bishop

 

      13        is here on an item that is on page 19, item

 

      14        number 73.

 

      15             Is that correct, Councilmember?

 

      16             MR. BISHOP:  Yes, that is.

 

      17             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  We will go ahead and

 

      18        take that up.  We've had a request for

 

      19        withdrawal from the Airport Administration -- or

 

      20        Airport Authority -- Aviation Authority, excuse

 

      21        me.

 

      22             MR. YARBOROUGH:  Move withdrawal.

 

      23             MR. CLARK:  Second.

       1             Seeing no discussion, Councilmember Bishop,

 

       2        do you have any input?

 

       3             MR. BISHOP:  Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

 

       4             I was just curious if anybody from the

 

       5        Airport Authority was here, they might sort of

 

       6        enlighten us as to why they want to do this.

 

       7        But seeing none, I guess not.

 

       8             So that's it.

 

       9             THE CHAIRMAN:  And I did have an e-mail

 

      10        from Mr. Michael Stewart from the Jacksonville

 

      11        Aviation Authority requesting withdrawal.

 

      12             Seeing no discussion, open the ballot and

      23        withdrawn 2008-249.

       2        now on page 6 of your agenda, top of the page,

       4             Seeing no speakers, we'll continue that

 

       5        public hearing with no further action.

 

       6             Item number 16 and 17, 2007-1051 and -1061,

 

       7        are both deferred.

 

       8             We are on the top of page 7, 2007-1085.

 

       9        We'll open that public hearing.

 

      10             Seeing no speakers, we'll continue that

 

      11        public hearing.

 

      12             Item 19, 2007-1086.  We'll open that public

 

      13        hearing.

 

      14             Seeing no speakers, we will continue that

 

      15        public hearing.

 

      16             Item 20, 2007-1121.  We'll open that public

 

      17        hearing.

 

      18             Seeing no speakers, we'll continue that

      20             Item number 21, 2007-1125.  We'll open that

 

      21        public hearing.

 

      22             Seeing no speakers, we're going to continue

 

      23        that public hearing.  We were going to move on

 

      24        it, but there's some issues still outstanding,

 

      25        so we're just going to continue that to the next

       2             We are on the top of page 8, 2007-1215.  We

 

       3        will open that public hearing.

 

       4             I have Mr. T.R. Hainline here to speak.

 

       5             (Mr. Hainline approaches the podium.)

 

       6             THE CHAIRMAN:  Good evening.

 

       7             MR. HAINLINE:  Good evening.

 

       8             T.R. Hainline, 1301 Riverplace Boulevard.

 

       9             This is the long pending Pine Grove

 

      10        Plantation development agreement, and y'all will

 

      11        recall that your staff recommended approval and

 

      12        the General Counsel's Office didn't have any

 

      13        problem.

 

      14             Mr. Harden, representing the landowner down

 

      15        the street, had some objections.  Part of his

 

      16        concerns came from a perspective relating to

 

      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, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           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

                                                           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.

 

       6             Seeing no discussion on the amendment, all

 

       7        in favor signal by saying aye.

 

       8             COMMITTEE MEMBERS:  Aye.

 

       9             THE CHAIRMAN:  All opposed.

 

      10             COMMITTEE MEMBERS:  (No response.)

 

      11             THE CHAIRMAN:  The amendment carries.

 

      12             MR. CLARK:  Move the bill as amended.

 

      13             MR. YARBOROUGH:  Second.

 

      14             THE CHAIRMAN:  Motion and a second on -1215

 

      15        as amended.

 

      16             Seeing no speakers, open the ballot and

 

      17        record the vote.

 

      18             (Committee ballot opened.)

 

      19             MR. CORRIGAN:  (Votes yea.)

       1             THE CHAIRMAN:  By your action, you just

 

       2        approved 2007-1215.

 

       3             Mr. Hainline, I appreciate your diligence

 

       4        in getting this bill passed.  I appreciate it.

 

       5             Thank you.

 

       6             MR. HAINLINE:  Thank you.

 

       7             THE CHAIRMAN:  Item 23, the council

 

       8        president is going to give us some input, so

 

       9        we're going to wait a couple of minutes on -1308

 

      10        and we'll come back to it as soon as the council

 

      11        president steps back into the room.

 

      12             Item 24 and 25, 2007-1310 and -1311, are

 

      13        both deferred.

 

      14             I see Councilmember Jones has joined us.

 

      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

 

      21        that.  The bottom of page 10, we'll be there in

 

      22        one second.  If you can hold on one second,

 

      23        we're almost there.

 

      24             Committee members, we're on the top of

 

      25        page 9.  2007-1312 is deferred.

       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

 

      19        questions, so we'll go ahead and close the

 

      20        public hearing.

 

      21             We have an amendment.

 

      22             MR. CLARK:  Move the amendment.

      24             THE CHAIRMAN:  I have a motion and a second

      14             Mr. Hayes, good evening.  Come on down.

 

      15             (Audience member approaches the podium.)

 

      16             THE CHAIRMAN:  Would you prefer me to open

 

      17        the public hearing on both of them and talk

 

      18        about both of them at the same time?

 

      19             AUDIENCE MEMBER:  That's fine.

 

      20             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  We'll just open both

 

      21        2008-108 and -109.

 

      22             Go ahead.

 

      23             AUDIENCE MEMBER:  Kevin Hayes, 881 Stockton

       1        opposition, so I'm just here to answer any

 

       2        questions if you have any.

 

       3             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Well, if you will

 

       4        stick around, if there is some, we'll be happy

 

       5        to -- to do that.

 

       6             Seeing no further speakers, we will close

       8             MR. WEBB:  Move the bill.

 

       9             MR. CLARK:  Second.

 

      10             THE CHAIRMAN:  I have a motion and a second

      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, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           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.

       2        record that I had those three facts in place,

 

       3        and I appreciate the committee's work.

 

       4             Thank you.

 

       5             THE CHAIRMAN:  Thank you very much.

 

       6             I see no further discussion on 2008-108, so

      11             Thirdly, "The development shall be subject

 

      12        to the original site plan dated July 20th,

 

      13        2007."

 

      14             Fourth and finally, "The required

      16        accordance with the Development Services

 

      17        memorandum dated March 5th, 2008, or as

      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, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           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.

      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

       4        questions.

 

       5             THE CHAIRMAN:  Thank you, Mr. Duss.

 

       6             MR. DUSS:  Thank you.

 

       7             THE CHAIRMAN:  I see no questions at this

 

       8        point.  If you'll stick around, I'd appreciate

 

       9        it.

 

      10             We'll go ahead and close both the public

 

      11        hearings on -135 and -136.

 

      12             We'll move the bill on -135.

 

      13             MR. WEBB:  Move the bill.

      22             Council President, we skipped item 23,

 

      23        2007-1308.  We'd like to go back to it now if

 

      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

 

      25        bill.

 

 

 

 

           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

 

       5        bill.

 

       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

 

       4        saying aye.

 

       5             COMMITTEE MEMBERS:  Aye.

 

       6             THE CHAIRMAN:  All opposed.

 

       7             COMMITTEE MEMBERS:  (No response.)

 

       8             THE CHAIRMAN:  The amendment carries.

 

       9             MR. SHAD:  Move the bill as amended.

 

      10             MR. CLARK:  Second.

 

      11             THE CHAIRMAN:  We have a motion and a

 

      12        second -- and the amendment was to grant the

 

      13        waiver.

 

      14             A motion and a second on 2007-1308, which

 

      15        will grant the waiver.

 

      16             Seeing no discussion, open the ballot,

 

      17        record the vote.

       2        approved 2007-1308.

 

       3             Council President Davis, we appreciate you

 

       4        working out a compromise on that.  That's

 

       5        great.  Thank you.

 

       6             Okay.  We'll go back to page 12 on your

 

       7        agenda.  We're on item number 39.  Item 39 and

      22             We have one speaker on each one of those

 

      23        bills, Dan Boswell.

       3             We have one speaker, the legendary

 

       4        Mr. Boswell, here again for questions only, I

 

       5        believe.

      11        second on 2008-143.

 

      12             I do have a quick question.  It came up

 

      13        when we discussed this earlier, that there was a

 

      14        difference in acreage.  Is that --

 

      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.

 

      20             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Thank you.

 

      21             Mr. Boswell, do you agree with that?

 

      22             MR. BOSWELL:  Yes, I do.

      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


 

                                                           49

 

 

       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

 

 

 

 

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


 

                                                           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.

       8        waiver.

 

       9             Thank you, Ms. Pierce.

 

      10             MS. PIERCE:  Thank you.

 

      11             THE CHAIRMAN:  We appreciate it.

 

      12             Item 48 and 49 are actually kind of

 

      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.

 

      16             We see no speakers.  We'll close both those

 

      17        public hearings.

 

      18             MR. CLARK:  Move 2008-171.

 

      19             MR. WEBB:  Second.
