       5             Ms. Hipps, are you in agreement with those

 

       6        conditions?

 

       7             MS. HIPPS:  Yes, sir, I am.

 

       8             I know you've closed the public hearing,

 

       9        but if I could just --

 

      10             THE CHAIRMAN:  Well, we'll reopen it.

 

      11             MS. HIPPS:  Thank you.

 

      12             The applicant had a traffic study done.  I

 

      13        will put on record that we will -- this is the

 

      14        site of the closed mulch facility on

 

      15        Imeson Road, and the traffic will be going out

 

      16        Imeson to Pritchard Road and not be going around

 

      17        Garden Street and into the residential area.

 

      18        Everything will be going towards Pritchard, and

 

      19        I wanted to put that on the record.

 

      20             Thank you so much.

 

      21             THE CHAIRMAN:  Mr. Holt.

 

      22             MR. HOLT:  Thank you.

 

      23             Through the Chair to Ms. Hipps, are they

 

      24        going to have some sort of right in, right out

 

      25        only entryway there in order to make sure --

                                                           14

 

 

       1             MS. HIPPS:  No.  It will be both ways, but

 

       2        they are committed to training everyone that

 

       3        works there in making sure that they understand

 

       4        that -- to access this site, it is only to be

 

       5        that way.

 

       6             MR. HOLT:  I don't see any reason why they

 

       7        would even want to turn in the other

 

       8        direction --

 

       9             MS. HIPPS:  Right.

 

      10             MR. HOLT:  -- but --

 

      11             MS. HIPPS:  Well, we're just wanting to

 

      12        make sure that was on the record for the

      11             And I guess at this point we'll have

 

      12        Ms. Eller explain the -- what the waiver is.

 

      13             MS. ELLER:  To the Chair, I'll have the

 

      14        Planning Department, if you don't mind, make

 

      15        their recommendation, which, I believe, was to

 

      16        do an amendment to grant the waiver, but I'll

 

      17        let Folks Huxford explain the details.

 

      18             THE CHAIRMAN:  Thank you.

 

      19             MR. HUXFORD:  Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

 

      20             Yes, this is a waiver request along

 

      21        Jones Road seeking to reduce the required

 

      22        frontage in the residential rural zoning

 

      23        district from 80 feet to 37 feet.

       2             MS. LAHMEUR:  Four yeas, zero nays.

 

       3             THE CHAIRMAN:  By your action, you have

 

       4        passed 2009-163, which grants the amendment to

 

       5        move the waiver.

 

       6             2009-164.  Open the public hearing.  We

 

       7        have one speaker --

 

       8             (Mr. Harden approaches the podium.)

 

       9             THE CHAIRMAN:  I've got a Jessica Brown.

 

      10             MR. HARDEN:  Okay.  Sorry.

 

      11             THE CHAIRMAN:  Sorry.  I was going to

 

      12        say -- Ms. Brown.

 

      13             (Audience member approaches the podium.)

 

      14             AUDIENCE MEMBER:  Hi.  I had a question.

 

      15             Okay.  Can I ask it now?

 

      16             THE CHAIRMAN:  Sure.

 

      17             AUDIENCE MEMBER:  Okay.  In terms of the

 

      18        rezoning of the property, which, I believe, is

 

      19        at the northeast quadrant of 9A and Beach

 

      20        Boulevard, there is another -- there's a

 

      21        subdivision that's located right behind that

 

      22        that's called Beachwood.  I was just curious

 

      23        whether or not the rezoning decision would

 

      24        affect the property rights of the Beachwood

 

      25        owners.

       1             (Mr. Harden approaches the podium.)

 

       2             MR. HARDEN:  Mr. Chairman, would you mind

 

       3        if we defer it for a couple of items?  Let me

 

       4        show her where it is, and I'll -- maybe I can

 

       5        answer her question, and then --

 

       6             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  I'll table it.  And

 

       7        then if he answers your questions, we'll get it

 

       8        back.

 

       9             MR. HARDEN:  Thank you.

 

      10             AUDIENCE MEMBER:  Thank you.

 

      11             THE CHAIRMAN:  Shannon.

 

      12             MS. ELLER:  Yes, sir.

 

      13             THE CHAIRMAN:  If I table an item, do I

 

      14        technically have to close the public hearing and

 

      15        reopen it or --

 

      16             MS. ELLER:  No.  You just continue it.

 

      17             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  We'll just continue

 

      18        it.

 

      19             Okay.  2009-188.  Open the public hearing.

 

      20             There are no speakers.  We'll continue that

 

      21        public hearing and take no action tonight.

 

      22             2009-189.  Open the public hearing.

 

      23             No speakers.  We'll take no further action

 

      24        and continue that public hearing.

       2             THE CHAIRMAN:  We took that up early.

 

       3             2009-235.

 

       4             MR. HOLT:  (Inaudible.)

 

       5             THE CHAIRMAN:  Somebody's got to move it.

 

       6             MR. HOLT:  (Inaudible.)

 

       7             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Never mind.  It's a

 

       8        second and rerefer.

 

       9             Let's see.  2009-236, -237, -238, -239,

 

      10        -240, -241 are all second and rereferred.

 

      11             MS. LAHMEUR:  (Inaudible.)

       2        moved the sub to 2009-239.

 

       3             2009-240.

 

       4             MR. HOLT:  Move the sub.

      20        rereferred.

 

      21             All the items on page 13 are second and

 

      22        rereferred.

 

      23             And I just want to make a note, on

 

      24        2009-248, I believe there's going to be a

 

      25        special hearing in LUZ on April 6th [sic], so

 

 

 

 

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


 

                                                           24

 

 

       1        all the members may want to go ahead and mark

 

       2        their calendars.

 

       3             All the items on page 14 are second and

 

       4        rereferred.

 

       5             And we've got one item left on the table.

 

       6        Where is Mr. Harden?  Is he --

 

       7             MR. HARDEN:  We're back here.

 

       8             THE CHAIRMAN:  We'll take a five-minute

 

       9        recess.

 

      10             MR. HARDEN:  Mr. Chairman, we're finished.

 

      11             (Audience member approaches the podium.)

 

      12             THE CHAIRMAN:  Go ahead.

 

      13             AUDIENCE MEMBER:  Yes.  I had a question

 

      14        with respect to the rezoning decision.  My

 

      15        question was, will the rezoning decision, if

 

      16        passed, affect the ownership rights for any of

 

      17        the Beachwood homeowners?

 

      18             (Mr. Harden approaches the podium.)

 

      19             MR. HARDEN:  Paul Harden, 501 Riverside

 

      20        Avenue.

 

      21             I was showing her where this is located.

 

      22             My client owns the apartment complex which

 

      23        is to the north of this site.  It's an adjoining

 

      24        parcel to the subdivision where her mom and dad

 

      25        live.

 

 

 

 

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


 

                                                           25

 

 

       1             Our zoning is not changing anything.  The

 

       2        frontage in front of them already is CCG-2.

 

       3             This is a remnant parcel left over from a

 

       4        taking of 9A.  We have a user that wants to go

 

       5        in there, particularly a hotel use.

 

       6             The access -- only access is through our

 

       7        entryway onto -- back through to the apartment

 

       8        complex, which is, I guess, a half a mile from

 

       9        your mom's house?

 

      10             AUDIENCE MEMBER:  Right.

 

      11             MR. HARDEN:  Something like that.

 

      12             So, other than that, we -- we're pointing

 

      13        to the Planning Department report.

 

      14             Let me clarify one thing.  While the

 

      15        application and the advertisement are correct,

 

      16        the --

 

      17             MS. ELLER:  The bill is correct.

 

      18             MR. HARDEN:  And the bill is correct,

 

      19        thank you.

 

      20             The indication on the agenda is CCG-1.

 

      21        It's, in fact, CCG-2, the use that's proposed on

 

      22        the site, so . . .

 

      23             Other than that, I'll be happy to answer

 

      24        any questions.

 

      25             THE CHAIRMAN:  Does the Planning Department

 

 

 

 

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


 

                                                           26

 

 

       1        have any comment on the effect of any possible

 

       2        value to the adjacent landowners?

 

       3             MR. CROFTS:  Mr. Chairman, members of the

 

       4        committee, we have evaluated the recommendation,

 

       5        and we have recommended approval.  And, based on

 

       6        the typical criteria that we utilize in terms of

 

       7        consistency and furtherance of the -- with the

 

       8        comprehensive plan and its appropriateness as it

 

       9        relates to the land development regulations, and

 

      10        that -- from that perspective, in looking at the

 

      11        location and in the context of where it's

 

      12        located, we are in support.

 

      13             THE CHAIRMAN:  All right.  Well, we'll

 

      14        close the public hearing.

 

      15             Ms. Brown, are you satisfied?

 

      16             AUDIENCE MEMBERS:  (No response.)

 

      17             THE CHAIRMAN:  Did she leave?

 

      18             I'm going to assume she must be satisfied,

 

      19        so -- do you want to move the amendment?

 

      20             MR. HOLT:  I thought we already moved the

 

      21        amendment.

 

      22             Move the amendment.

 

      23             MR. REDMAN:  Second.

 

      24             THE CHAIRMAN:  The amendment has been moved

 

      25        and seconded.

      18             THE CHAIRMAN:  By your action, 2009-164 has

 

      19        passed as amended.
