       4             THE CHAIRMAN:  All right, folks.  Let's go

 

       5        ahead and jump into this.

 

       6             Everybody has used the bathroom?  Because

 

       7        we can't have anybody leave, and we all need to

 

       8        be of the same mind here tonight or nothing is

 

       9        going to get through.

 

      10             Mr. Davis will be with us in about 15 more

 

      11        minutes probably, so we will have one more.

 

      12             We do not have much tonight that is really

 

      13        going to have any action on it, but we have a

 

      14        visiting council member with us tonight,

 

      15        Mr. Yarborough, and he has asked that we take up

 

      16        his item first.  And being in the Christmas

 

      17        spirit already, I will grant that request.

 

      18             MR. YARBOROUGH:  Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

 

      19             I didn't know how light your agenda was,

 

      20        but if you --

 

      21             THE CHAIRMAN:  It's not much.

 

      22             MR. YARBOROUGH:  -- want to go in order,

 

      23        it's certainly your preference as the Chair.

 

      24             THE CHAIRMAN:  Let's all turn to page 8,

 

      25        item number 20, 2009-832.  We will open that

                                                           3

 

 

       1        public hearing.

 

       2             (Ms. Green approaches the podium.)

 

       3             THE CHAIRMAN:  And, let's see, while we're

 

       4        in the public hearing, can we have Mr. Crofts

 

       5        read the amendment?

 

       6             And then, Ms. Green, you can stand by and

 

       7        listen to the conditions and we can go into all

 

       8        the discussion.

 

       9             MR. CROFTS:  Mr. Chairman and members of

 

      10        the committee, the conditions to the PUD,

 

      11        2009-832, Lone Star Road PUD, consist of the

 

      12        following conditions:

 

      13             Number 1, "The developer shall be subject

 

      14        to the original legal description dated

 

      15        September 30th, 2009."

 

      16             Number 2, "The developer shall be subject

 

      17        to the revised written description dated

 

      18        November 24th, 2009."

 

      19             Number 3, "The developer shall be subject

 

      20        to the original site plan dated September 30th,

 

      21        2009."

 

      22             Number 4, "The required transportation

 

      23        improvements shall be made in accordance with

 

      24        the Development Services memorandum dated

 

      25        October 20th, 2009, or as otherwise approved by

 

 

 

 

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


 

                                                           4

 

 

       1        the Planning and Development Department."

 

       2             Number 5, "A landscaping plan for the

 

       3        parking area shall be submitted, subject to the

 

       4        review and approval of the Planning and

 

       5        Development Department, at the time of

 

       6        verification of substantial compliance.  The

 

       7        landscaping shall be installed within the sixth

 

       8        month of occupancy."

 

       9             Number 6, "At the time of verification of

 

      10        substantial compliance, a determination shall be

 

      11        made by the Planning and Development Department

 

      12        and the Jacksonville Transportation Authority

 

      13        whether a bus shelter is warranted.  The bus

 

      14        shelter, if warranted, shall be installed within

 

      15        three months of this determination date."

 

      16             Number 7, and -- let's see.  Number 7, "The

 

      17        maximum building height shall be 60 feet."

 

      18             And, number 8, "Enrollment of more than

 

      19        300 students" --

 

      20             MS. GREEN:  Forty-five.

 

      21             MR. CROFTS:  I stand as corrected.

 

      22             "The maximum height shall be 45 feet."

 

      23             "Enrollment of more than 300 students shall

 

      24        be reviewed and approved through the minor

 

      25        modification process."

 

 

 

 

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


 

                                                           5

 

 

       1             That concludes our amendments.

 

       2             THE CHAIRMAN:  All right.  Ms. Green, are

 

       3        you all squared away with the Planning

 

       4        Department on those?

 

       5             MS. GREEN:  Should I identify myself?

 

       6             THE CHAIRMAN:  Hold on.  Mr. Reingold

 

       7        wanted to say something first.

 

       8             MR. REINGOLD:  I apologize.

 

       9             I just -- these are some changes that have

 

      10        kind of happened on the fly, at least in -- in

 

      11        what I've seen from what's in the book.

 

      12             Mr. Crofts, can you please run by the JTA

 

      13        bus shelter condition and the maximum height

 

      14        condition again, please.

 

      15             MR. CROFTS:  Condition number 6, "At the

 

      16        time of the verification of substantial

 

      17        compliance, a determination shall be made by the

 

      18        Planning and Development Department and the

 

      19        Jacksonville Transportation Authority whether a

 

      20        bus shelter is warranted.  The bus shelter, if

 

      21        warranted, shall be installed within three

 

      22        months of the determination date."

 

      23             Condition number 7, "The maximum building

 

      24        height shall be 45 feet."

 

      25             And the others are as I read before.

                                                           6

 

 

       1             Thank you.

 

       2             THE CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Reingold.

 

       3             MR. REINGOLD:  Mr. Crofts -- through the

 

       4        Chair to Mr. Crofts, is the 300-student

 

       5        enrollment condition still a condition for this

 

       6        PUD?

 

       7             MR. CROFTS:  That is an affirmative.  Yes,

 

       8        sir, that is correct.

 

       9             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Are you all squared

 

      10        away, Mr. Reingold?  You got them?

 

      11             MR. REINGOLD:  Thank you.  To the Chair,

 

      12        yes.

 

      13             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Well, now, Ms. Green,

 

      14        you can introduce yourself and --

 

      15             MS. GREEN:  Susan Green of Green &

 

      16        Kupperman, recommending -- representing the

 

      17        landowner, 200 First Street, Neptune Beach,

 

      18        Florida.

 

      19             Can I ask one clarification?

 

      20             THE CHAIRMAN:  Absolutely.

 

      21             MS. GREEN:  We did -- it wasn't -- we kind

 

      22        of worked all this out last week before the

 

      23        holiday.

 

      24             The 300 students, that's -- anything beyond

 

      25        that is a minor modification; is that correct --

 

 

 

 

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


 

                                                           7

 

 

       1             MR. CROFTS:  (Nods head.)

 

       2             MS. GREEN:  -- if it is a school?

 

       3             And the bus shelter thing was something

 

       4        that we worked hard on over the last two or

 

       5        three weeks, and I just sort of had a thought,

 

       6        and I ran it past Councilmember Yarborough.  And

 

       7        it's not like I'm trying to sneak something in,

 

       8        but -- since we would be negotiating with the

 

       9        JTA on -- indicating whether or not the need is

 

      10        there, suggesting that that need is proven and

 

      11        it is determined that we will participate in

 

      12        that, I was wondering if we shouldn't change the

 

      13        word to "begin construction."

 

      14             I don't know how long it takes.  I don't

 

      15        know how long it would take to get the money on

 

      16        the private partnership from the JTA, so forth.

 

      17        I mean, I -- I just know that when you try to

 

      18        amend the condition after the fact, that's a

 

      19        full-blown rezoning, and I would -- just kind of

 

      20        trying to give us a little bit more leeway

 

      21        there.

 

      22             THE CHAIRMAN:  How would that read again,

 

      23        Mr. Crofts, if it were to be changed?  Let us

 

      24        hear how it would read.  If a determination has

 

      25        been made . . .

 

 

 

 

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


 

                                                           8

 

 

       1             MS. GREEN:  I would just suggest

 

       2        "construction shall begin within three months"

 

       3        as opposed to "it shall be installed within

 

       4        three months."

 

       5             MR. CROFTS:  (Inaudible.)

 

       6             MS. GREEN:  Oh, I did go -- excuse me,

 

       7        Mr. Chairman -- and indicate to Mr. Yarborough

 

       8        that I was going to bring this up.  He

 

       9        doesn't --

 

      10             MR. CROFTS:  I apologize.  It's slipped

 

      11        around on me.

 

      12             "At the time of verification of substantial

 

      13        compliance, a determination shall be made by the

 

      14        Planning and Development Department and the

 

      15        Jacksonville Transportation Authority whether a

 

      16        bus shelter is warranted."

 

      17             The next sentence reads, "The bus shelter,

 

      18        if warranted, shall be installed" -- operative

 

      19        word here being "installed" -- "within three

 

      20        months of this determination date."

 

      21             THE CHAIRMAN:  So then --

 

      22             MS. GREEN:  Or maybe "or as otherwise

 

      23        discussed" at that meeting?  I mean, what if

 

      24        there's some discussion between JTA and timing

 

      25        and all that?  That's all I'm worried about.

 

 

 

 

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


 

                                                           9

 

 

       1             THE CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Reingold.

 

       2             MR. REINGOLD:  I'll defer to the council

 

       3        member first.

 

       4             THE CHAIRMAN:  Go ahead, Mr. Yarborough.

 

       5             MR. YARBOROUGH:  Thank you.

 

       6             Through the Chair, Mr. Crofts, can you read

 

       7        that one more time, the way that we have it in

 

       8        that final --

 

       9             MR. CROFTS:  Be glad to.

 

      10             "At the time of verification of substantial

 

      11        compliance, a determination shall made by the

 

      12        Planning and Development Department and the

 

      13        Jacksonville Transportation Authority whether a

 

      14        bus shelter is warranted.  The bus shelter, if

 

      15        warranted, shall be installed within three

 

      16        months of the determination date."

 

      17             MR. YARBOROUGH:  Okay.  And, Ms. Green,

 

      18        you'd like to change it to --

 

      19             MS. GREEN:  Instead of the word

 

      20        "installed," "construction shall begin," or even

 

      21        if you left it as "installed" at the end, "or as

 

      22        otherwise determined at the date of

 

      23        determination."

 

      24             I mean, maybe in that discussion that my

 

      25        client and the Planning Department and you and

 

 

 

 

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


 

                                                           10

 

 

       1        the JTA have, you know, maybe it's decided that

 

       2        they want it, but it will be in another cycle.

 

       3        I mean, I don't know.  I just hate to see us

 

       4        get -- and I wish I thought about it ahead of

 

       5        time, I really do, but I just hate to get locked

 

       6        in to 90 days that feasibly through their

 

       7        authority and their board and us and

 

       8        construction that maybe it didn't happen and

 

       9        we'd be out of compliance.

 

      10             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.

 

      11             MS. GREEN:  Even with the intentions that

 

      12        we would do it if it's determined that it's --

 

      13             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Well, we're still in

 

      14        the public hearing.  Did you have any other

 

      15        comments --

 

      16             MS. GREEN:  No, sir.

 

      17             THE CHAIRMAN:  -- that you wanted to make?

 

      18             MS. GREEN:  No.  Just thank everybody

 

      19        for --

 

      20             THE CHAIRMAN:  Anybody have any questions

 

      21        for Ms. Green while we're in the public

 

      22        hearing?  Otherwise, we will close the public

 

      23        hearing and then we can make any amendments we

 

      24        choose to.

 

      25             COMMITTEE MEMBERS:  (No response.)

 

 

 

 

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


 

                                                           11

 

 

       1             THE CHAIRMAN:  No questions for Ms. Green.

 

       2             We will close the public hearing.

 

       3             MR. JONES:  (Inaudible.)

 

       4             THE CHAIRMAN:  Yes.  And anyone who needs

 

       5        to declare ex-parte needs to do so now.

 

       6             MR. YARBOROUGH:  Mr. Chairman.

 

       7             THE CHAIRMAN:  Yes, sir.  Mr. Yarborough.

 

       8             MR. YARBOROUGH:  Thank you.

 

       9             Mr. Chairman, I had three, including today

 

      10        too, which -- today is December 1st, about

 

      11        5:15 [sic], just talking to Ms. Green about this

 

      12        last condition, and then also November 6th,

 

      13        3:30, in my office with Susan Green, talked

 

      14        about conditions of the PUD and the impact on

 

      15        the surrounding community.  And November 18th,

 

      16        4:30, in my office, with Ms. Green, talked about

 

      17        the revised PUD conditions, and that's all the

 

      18        ex-parte I have.

 

      19             Thank you.

 

      20             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Mr. Jones.

 

      21             MR. JONES:  Sure.

 

      22             I'll move the amendment --

 

      23             DR. GAFFNEY:  Second.

 

      24             MR. JONES:  -- which incorporates the

 

      25        language that it would -- construction would

 

 

 

 

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


 

                                                           12

 

 

       1        begin within 90 days.

 

       2             THE CHAIRMAN:  And so we have a --

 

       3             MR. JONES:  (Inaudible.)

 

       4             MR. YARBOROUGH:  I just -- through the

 

       5        Chair.

 

       6             THE CHAIRMAN:  Yes.

 

       7             MR. YARBOROUGH:  It -- was there a second

 

       8        to --

 

       9             THE CHAIRMAN:  Yes, there was.

 

      10             MR. YARBOROUGH:  -- the amendment?

 

      11             Okay.  I guess I'll just ask Mr. Kelly,

 

      12        what -- would the Planning Department have a

 

      13        concern with that?  I mean, the way it's written

 

      14        now with it being installed, it's somewhat open,

 

      15        but it gives the impression, I guess, that it

 

      16        would be completed, but what -- what is

 

      17        Planning's take on that?

 

      18             MR. KELLY:  I guess the -- "begin

 

      19        construction," I mean, is there an end time

 

      20        frame?  It shall be completed within 120 days

 

      21        maybe is -- you know, it shall begin

 

      22        construction within 90 days and shall be

 

      23        completed within 120 days so that there's four

 

      24        months to get a stop --

 

      25             MR. YARBOROUGH:  And I think that's a good

 

 

 

 

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


 

                                                           13

 

 

       1        point, through the Chair, Ms. Green, just

 

       2        because we -- the way it was written before was

 

       3        "installed," which was open, but kind of -- kind

 

       4        of closed, but Mr. Kelly makes a good point

 

       5        because it's going to come back to even see if

 

       6        it's warranted to begin with.

 

       7             So if it is started, it would be good to

 

       8        put in there something to say it will be done

 

       9        by --

 

      10             MS. GREEN:  Right.  And I -- through the

 

      11        Chair to Mr. Yarborough, Councilmember, I

 

      12        agree.  I was just really concerned that in that

 

      13        meeting, if, in fact, it is determined that

 

      14        there's something that happens in getting a

 

      15        JTA-approved bus stop -- you know, maybe you've

 

      16        got to go to TEU or something.  You know what

 

      17        I'm saying?  I didn't know what that would be,

 

      18        when that would be.  If we ever got held up by

 

      19        that, would we be in default of the PUD?  But I

 

      20        guess we'll just work it out at that time.

 

      21             I appreciate your amendment, Mr. Jones.

 

      22             THE CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Jones, did you want to

 

      23        restate your amendment?

 

      24             MR. JONES:  Sure.  Thank you,

 

      25        Mr. Chairman.

 

 

 

 

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


 

                                                           14

 

 

       1             I would use the language that Mr. Kelly

 

       2        recommended, that construction shall start

 

       3        within 90 days and be completed in -- another

 

       4        90 days?  Which is a total of --

 

       5             MR. KELLY:  It would be completed within

 

       6        120 days from the date of determination, whether

 

       7        it was warranted or not.

 

       8             MR. JONES:  Okay.  Thanks.  I'll use that

 

       9        language.

 

      10             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.

 

      11             All right.  So the amendment is --

 

      12        Mr. Reingold, do we need to restate that and

 

      13        have a second on that?

 

      14             MR. REINGOLD:  We should probably get a

 

      15        second.  And then before we vote, I'm just going

 

      16        to make sure I've got the amendment.

 

      17             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  We have an amendment

 

      18        from Mr. Jones.

 

      19             I need a second.

 

      20             MR. BROWN:  Second.

 

      21             THE CHAIRMAN:  I have a second.

 

      22             Mr. Reingold.  Let's confirm it.

 

      23             MR. REINGOLD:  All right.  So essentially

 

      24        we're going to have -- the determination is made

 

      25        whether it's warranted.  And if that

 

 

 

 

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


 

                                                           15

 

 

       1        determination is made that it is warranted, then

 

       2        they've got 90 days to begin construction and

 

       3        then 120 days to complete construction, and that

 

       4        both those dates are from the time of the day

 

       5        of -- the determination is made.

 

       6             MR. KELLY:  (Nods head.)

 

       7             THE CHAIRMAN:  That's how I read it.

 

       8             MR. REINGOLD:  Okay.  Great.  Thank you.

 

       9             MR. YARBOROUGH:  So 90 plus 120 --

 

      10             MR. KELLY:  Well, 120 inclusive --

 

      11             (Inaudible discussion.)

 

      12             MR. REINGOLD:  There's sort of a sidebar

 

      13        over here.

 

      14             So it's -- you get a 90-day time period to

 

      15        begin, and then you've got another 30 days to

 

      16        complete it, which is a total of 120 days.

 

      17             THE CHAIRMAN:  Correct.

 

      18             And we're wrapping all this up with the

 

      19        previous amendments?

 

      20             MR. REINGOLD:  That, in addition to all the

 

      21        other changes read into the record by

 

      22        Mr. Crofts.

 

      23             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  All in favor of those

 

      24        amendments signify by saying aye.

 

      25             COMMITTEE MEMBERS:  Aye.
