Bill Summary
PH AMEND (TO REMAND)/APPROVE 4-1 (CM Carter) (Remand the matter
back to the 911 Advisory Committee to consider keeping the address of the
subject property the same but to consider having the property owner execute a
Release/Hold Harmless Agreement pertaining to potential emergency delay
response to the property as a result of the out of sequence address.) *Appeal hearing to be held on April 17, 2017 There was a lengthy discussion on the
resolution on the 911 Emergency Addressing Advisory Committee’s decision to
re-assign an out of sequence address. Assistant General Counsel Paige
Johnston said that the Appeal Hearing was a quasi-judicial process. She distributed the procedures of the
hearing, order of speaking, rebuttal, Staff Attorney’s response, appellant presentation, committee standard of review and
the deliberation and vote. She also distributed an excerpt of Section
745.232(g), Ordinance Code that
stipulated the standard of review that provided that the Council’s review
being limited to whether the 911 Emergency Advisory
Committee applied the criteria outlined in Section 745.223
correctly. The Committee had to vote
to Affirm the decision of the 911 Emergency Addressing Advisory Committee or
vote to remand back to the 911 Emergency Addressing Advisory Committee. Ellen Fales made the staff
presentation. She explained how the
911 Emergency Addressing Advisory Committee arrived at its decision and
fielded questions. William Bransford made the appellant
presentation. He explained that his
family has been in business since 1961 and at the current address 4565 for
the past 30 years. He contended that
changing the address would have a considerable financial hardship for him and
his customers nationwide and abroad.
He said that emergency responders had never had problems locating his
business. Assistant General Counsel Cherry
Pollock gave the Staff Attorney Response.
Counsel to the 911 Advisory Committee, Ms. Pollock remarked on the
process and explained that in her
review of caselaw, the courts generally came down on the side of the
cities having the right to re-assign addresses if public health and safety
were issues. She fielded numerous
questions. Council Member John Crescimbeni said
that he was troubled that Mr. Bransford had met all of the City’s
requirements in acquiring a permit for his business at its current address,
an address that the City had given him.
He asked Ms. Fales if the 911 Emergency Addressing Committee was
familiar with the sequence of addresses of the utility poles in the area of
if the Committee had ever actually listened to 911 telephone exchanges? Mr. Crescimbeni motioned to remand
the 911 Emergency Addressing Advisory Committee’s recommendation back to the
Committee. Council Member Greg Anderson offered
a substitute motion that would remand the appeal back to the Advisory
Committee with the stipulation that Mr. Bransford agrees to sign a waiver of
liability.. In the interest of time, the resolution
was tabled to enable the Committee to take up the other items on the
Committee’s agenda. At the end of the
agenda items, the Committee would resume deliberations on this item. The Committee took the item from the
table when the end of agenda items was reached. The appellant had met with staff
during the remainder of the meeting and agreed to sign a waiver of liability
if the TEU Committee would remand the appeal to the 911
Addressing Committee and if that committee would agree to leave the
current address with the waiver.
Council Member Crescimbeni requested clarification on when and how the
waiver of liability would apply (to the land? To the business? What happens if the business changes
hands?) Paige Johnston explained the
process of remanding the appeal to the 911 Committee and stated that if the
committee and appellant worked out a mutually acceptable agreement, the
matter would be resolved and would not come back to the City Council. The Committee voted to remand the appeal to the 911 Addressing Committee with the recommendation
that it consider allowing the current address to remain unchanged with a
signed liability waiver. |

1. 4/11/2017 CO Introduced: LUZ,TEU Bill Summary
Fact Sheet READ 2ND AND REREFER At the conclusion of the agenda
items, Steve Diebenow, representing the developer of a Costco wholesale store
near I-295 and Collins Road, distributed and explained a package of
information regarding the ongoing effort of the developer to reach an
agreement with the City, JEA, the Florida Department of Transportation and an
adjacent property on the relocation and extension of Parramore Road needed to
facilitate the construction of the store.
He explained the relocation of certain utility easements and the land
swaps involved in the transaction, and said that there are two basic
questions to be solved: 1) how to accomplish the closing of the existing
Parramore Road (while protecting the City’s rights) before the new road is
constructed; and 2) how does FDOT’s 70 foot easement get relocated to clear
the way for the project. In response
to a question from Council Member Crescimbeni about why the City seems to be
assuming responsibility for maintaining a much larger easement area and the
FDOT much less, Mr. Diebenow said it results from a long series of
negotiations between the City, the FDOT and the developer that began in 2008. There being no further business, the
meeting was adjourned at 4:12 P.M. John J. Jackson, Council Research
Division (904) 630-1729 04.21.17 Posted: 4:00 P.M. |
