[00:16:56]
NO, NO PARTICULAR CASE, THE CURRENT FLORIDA LEGISLATURE, AS A RESULT OF
[00:17:06]
ITS MAKEUP, TENDS TO ABOUT EVERY THREE TO FOUR YEARS TO TINKER WITH THIS TYPE OF ISSUE.[00:17:16]
AND MY, CAN'T SAY FOR SURE, BUT VIRTUALLY EVERY LEGISLATIVE[00:17:26]
SESSION IN THE LAST DECADE THERE HAD BEEN ATTEMPTS TO ADOPT PROVISIONS SUCH AS THIS, AS WELL AS TO FURTHER AMEND THE BERT HARRIS PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS ACT, WHICH IS A SIMILAR STATUTORY PROVISION TO MAKE IT MORE PROPERTY OWNER ORIENTED.SO THIS IS JUST AN EVOLUTION OF THAT.
FRANKLY, IT'S NOT UNCOMMON, AND THERE ARE ALREADY MANY GOVERNMENTS THAT I'M AWARE OF AND THAT I'VE WORKED WITH OR AND ADVISED OVER THE YEARS THAT ALREADY HAVE THIS TYPE OF RECOGNITION WITHIN THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
IT'S JUST NOW IT'S AT THE STATE LEVEL WHERE THEY'VE SAID YOU MUST HAVE IT.
SO IT'S TO SOME DEGREE, EVERY LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS EITHER IN THE PROCESS OF TINKERING WITH THEIR EXISTING LANGUAGE OR ADOPTING PRETTY MUCH STRAIGHT OUT OF THE STATE STATUTE, THE LANGUAGE THAT THE STATE IS NOW REQUIRING EVERY MUNICIPALITY AND EVERY COUNTY TO HAVE IN THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SO THE PRACTICAL EFFECT OF THIS WOULD BE WHAT EXACTLY? LIKE HAVE SOMEBODY VIOLATE THIS SOMEHOW OR, YOU KNOW? IT, I SUSPECT THAT THE INTENT IS THAT NOW THAT IT'S POTENTIALLY AT THE LEVEL OF BEING WITHIN A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THAT SOMEONE COULD MAKE AN ARGUMENT THAT SOME TYPE OF ACTION BY A LOCAL GOVERNMENT APPROVING OR DISAPPROVING A PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT PROJECT MAY VIOLATE THIS SECTION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
AND THEN AS A RESULT, THEY WOULD HAVE A CAUSE OF ACTION UNDER CHAPTER 163.
THERE'S LANGUAGE ALREADY IN THERE THAT SAYS THAT A PARTY CAN SUE A LOCAL GOVERNMENT FOR THE PROPOSITION THAT THEIR ACTIONS ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH THEIR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
OK, THANKS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION.
DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CITY, FOR THE STAFF? NO? OK, DO WE HAVE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT AT THIS TIME? OK, I'D LIKE TO CALL FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER ONE.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION FROM THE STAFF, THE BOARD, EXCUSE ME?
[00:20:03]
I MOVE TO APPROVE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I WILL SECOND.
UH, AND THE RICHARD GNAGE MADE THE MOTION AND MS. WATSON MADE THE SECOND.
UM, I THINK IT'S A QUESTION FOR MR. HERON.
AS A GENERAL, LET'S SEE, I'M TRYING TO THINK DID WE HAVE A QUORUM HERE.
SO THE MOTION. NO, WE HAVE THE MOTION IS MOVED BY ERIC AND SECONDED BY VIOLA.
CAN THAT WORK? YES. TWO ALTERNATES.
WELL, BECAUSE WE THE ALTERNATES ARE HELPING US MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A QUORUM.
RICHARD HUGHES? YES, SEJIN BELL? YES.
VIOLA WATSON? YES. MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER ONE AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO CREATE A NEW PROPERTY RIGHTS ELEMENT PASSED.
MOVED BY ERIC GNAGE, SECONDED BY VIOLA WATSON.

SURE. DOES ANYONE IN THE SITTING ON THE PLANNING BOARD HAVE ANY DISCLOSURES OR EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS? ANY DISCUSSIONS? HAVE WE VISITED THE SITE? DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYONE THEY WANT TO DISCLOSE AT THIS TIME? LOOKS LIKE WE DON'T KNOW.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
GOOD MORNING AGAIN. FOR THE RECORD, I'M ROB JOHNSON, PLANNING AND ZONING MANAGER FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.
FOR [INAUDIBLE] LLP, DESIGNATED AGENT FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER BOFL 5601 NORTH HYANNIS LLC CARE OF BRIDGE INVESTMENT GROUP IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A LARGE SCALE LAND USE PLAN
[00:25:05]
AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM COMMERCIAL TO INDUSTRIAL TO ALLOW FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY INTO A DISTRIBUTION CENTER.AND THEN ADDITIONALLY, [INAUDIBLE] FOR THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A REZONING TO CHANGE THE CURRENT ZONING OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FROM MU-C, MIXED USE CORRIDOR TO BP, BUSINESS PARK.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 5601 NORTH HYANNIS ROAD AND IS APPROXIMATELY 12.55 ACRES IN SIZE.
THE PROPERTY IS BOUNDED BY HYANNIS ROAD TO THE EAST, YOU HAVE COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD TO THE SOUTH AND THEN YOU HAVE MADISON AVENUE TO THE WEST.
TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS A SUNNY ENTERPRISES.
THAT'S A CAR WASH AND EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER.
IT'S ZONED BP WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF COMMERCIAL.
TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ACROSS WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD, THIS IS IN THE CITY OF SUNRISE AND THERE'S A SHELL GAS STATION ON THE CORNER OF A HYANNIS AND COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND THEN VACANT LAND ADJACENT TO IT WITH A FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF INDUSTRIAL, WHICH IS ZONED I1, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL IN THE CITY OF SUNRISE.
TO THE EAST, YOU HAVE ACROSS HYANNIS ROAD, YOU HAVE THE GOLD COAST SCHOOLS.
AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE THE CARE SPOT, WHICH IS AN URGENT CARE FACILITY.
THAT'S OWNED AND YOU SEE MIXED USE CORRIDOR WITH A CITY OF TAMARAC FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF COMMERCIAL, AND THEN TO THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ACROSS MADISON AVENUE IS HAMPTON INN AND SUITES AND THE WOOD SPRINGS SUITES HOTEL.
THOSE ARE ZONED MU-C, MIXED USE CORRIDOR WITH A FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF INDUSTRIAL.
ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2000, THE CITY COMMISSION GRANTED A NEW DEVELOPMENT SITE PLAN APPROVAL TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT, TWO STOREY OFFICE BUILDING WITH ASSOCIATED PARKING, LANDSCAPING AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS.
AND THEN ON NOVEMBER 16, 2001, THE NEW TWO STOREY BUILDING, IT RECEIVED A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. THE BUILDING WAS HOME TO THE CONVERGENCE CORPORATION, WHICH WAS A TELEMARKETING SALES BUSINESS UNTIL 2017.
THE BUILDING THEN SAT VACANT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.
AND THEN THEN IT WAS OCCUPIED BY A FEDERAL SERVICE ADMINISTRATION OFFICE THAT ASSISTED WITH THE 2020 CENSUS.
THERE WERE THERE UNTIL THE END OF THE CENSUS.
AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, THEY REMOVE THE BUSINESS IN 202, AN THE BUILDING CURRENTLY SITS VACANT THE PROPERTY.
AND THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD PICTURE OF IT, TOO.
SO YOU CAN SEE THE PROPERTY ALL VACANT.
IT'S INTERESTING. THE EXISTING COMMERCIAL FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION, IT DOESN'T ALLOW FOR INDUSTRIAL USES.
THAT'S AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S FUTURE LAND USE MAP TO INDUSTRIAL TO ALLOW FOR LIGHT, HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USES PURSUANT TO THE CITY OF TAMARAC FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE CITY TAMARAC COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS REQUIRED AND THAT'S TO ALLOW THE THE INDUSTRIAL USE.
ADDITIONALLY, THE MIXED-USE CORRIDOR ZONING, THE MU-C ZONING, IT DOESN'T ALLOW FOR DISTRIBUTION CENTERS.
SO. SO THEY'RE REQUESTING A CHANGE TO THE ZONING MAP, TO BUSINESS PARK, WHICH ALLOWS FOR DISTRIBUTION CENTERS UNDER THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
ALSO TO LEGALLY SUBSTANTIATE THE GRANTING OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO REQUEST THE APPLICANT, THEY'LL BE REQUIRED TO FILE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATIONS WITH BROWARD COUNTY TO OFFICIALLY AMEND THE EXISTING PLAT AND GET THEM IN THE PLAT TO ALLOW FOR INDUSTRIAL USES ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
AND THEN FINALLY, AN APPLICATION FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL, MAJOR FOR THE PROPOSED DISTRIBUTION CENTER. IT'S BEEN SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW CONCURRENTLY.
THE APPLICATION, IT'S GOING TO BE, IT WILL BE FORWARDED TO YOU GUYS AND THE CITY COMMISSION FOR REVIEW FOLLOWING THE REVIEW BY THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE.
AND SO, ONCE AGAIN, AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IT'S A MATTER COMMITTED TO THE LEGISLATIVE DISCRETION OF THE CITY COMMISSION, THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE THAT IDENTIFIES THOSE STANDARDS, THE CITY COMMISSION SHALL CONSIDER AND WEIGH THE RELEVANCE AND THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE PROPOSED LARGE SCALE LAND AMENDMENT IS NECESSARY.
AND THOSE REVIEW STANDARDS, THOSE ARE SHOWN IN THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU.
AND THEN IN THE INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM, WE PROVIDED RESPONSES TO TO EACH OF THESE , THE REVIEW STANDARDS AND SO I CAN POINT OUT, YOU KNOW, TRAFFIC REAL QUICK, YOU KNOW, TRAFFIC WAS ONE THING THAT WAS REVIEWED ON, YOU KNOW, FOR PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES FOR THE PROPOSED USE.
AND REALLY THE CONCLUSION IS THERE'S A DECREASE IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE FROM THE FROM THE
[00:30:08]
OFFICE USED TO TO THE INDUSTRIAL USE THAT THE COMMERCIAL LAND USE DESIGNATION YIELDS MORE TRAFFIC THAN THE INDUSTRIAL LAND USE.OK, SO IT WAS THE, IT'S THE OPINION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR THAT THE REVIEW STANDARDS FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, THEY'VE BEEN SATISFIED AND THE DIRECTOR, SHE SUPPORTS THE REQUEST BASED ON THE ANALYSIS THAT WE'VE DONE IN THE MEMO.
AND THEN AMENDING THE ZONING MAP, THAT'S ALSO A MATTER COMMITTED TO THE LEGISLATIVE DISCRETION OF THE CITY COMMISSION.
THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE THAT GIVES NINE STANDARDS TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN WHEN REVIEWING AND CONSIDERING A REZONING.
SO ADDITIONALLY, IN THE IN THE MEMO FOR THE 5601 REZONING, WE'VE PROVIDED RESPONSES TO EACH OF THESE REVIEW STANDARDS.
AND THEN ONCE AGAIN, IT'S THE OPINION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR THAT THE REVIEW STANDARDS FOR THE REZONING, THEY'VE BEEN SATISFIED.
THE DIRECTOR, SHE SUPPORTS THE REQUEST FOR THE REZONING BASED UPON THE ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICATION. AND SO THESE ITEMS, THEY SUPPORT GOAL NUMBER FOUR OF THE CITY'S 2040 STRATEGIC PLAN. TAMARAC IS VIBRANT.
THE APPROVAL OF THE LAND USE AMENDMENT AND THE REZONING, THAT'LL GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO REDEVELOP THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND THAT WILL REVITALIZE THE APPEARANCE IMAGE AND THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE CITY.
THAT'S ONE OF OUR ENTRYWAYS FROM FROM SAWGRASS.
AND SO THIS REQUEST ALSO SUPPORTS POLICY.
POLICY 1.4, POLICY 7.4, POLICY 10.8,, POLICY 16.1, AND THEN POLICY 21.3 OF THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
AND THEN I'D JUST LIKE TO EMPHASIZE POLICY 16.1, THAT SAYS FUTURE LAND USE, FUTURE INDUSTRIAL LAND USE AND SHALL BE LOCATED WITH ACCESS TO MAJOR TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES, INCLUDING ARTERIAL STREETS AND THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY.
AND THAT'S SPECIFICALLY WHERE THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED.
AND SO FOR ITEM NUMBER TWO, THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, SHE RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD FOR A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PROPOSED LARGE SCALE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT TO ALLOW FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY INTO A DISTRIBUTION CENTER TO THE CITY COMMISSION AND ITS AUGUST 25TH, 2021 MEETING FOR FIRST READING WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITION OF APPROVAL, THE APPLICANT SHALL SUBMIT THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATIONS TO THE BROWARD COUNTY PLANNING COUNCIL TO RECERTIFY OUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND SUPPLY A COPY OF THE FUTURE, THE CERTIFIED MAP TO OUR DEPARTMENT PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT.
AND SO THEN FINALLY, FOR ITEM NUMBER THREE, THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, SHE RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD FOR RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PROPOSED REZONING TO ALLOW FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY INTO A DISTRIBUTION CENTER TO THE CITY COMMISSION AT ITS AUGUST 25TH, 2021 MEETING FOR FIRST READING IN WITH THE SAME CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL OUTLINED IN THE PREVIOUS ITEM.
AND THIS CONCLUDES STAFF PRESENTATION.
I'LL ACCEPT QUESTIONS FOLLOWING THE PRESENTATION BY THE APPLICANT.
AND SO LET'S LET THE APPLICANT MAKE THEIR PRESENTATION AND PUBLIC COMMENTS.
FAIR ENOUGH. WE'LL HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT AT THIS TIME, MR. [INAUDIBLE], PLEASE, IF YOU CAN MAKE SURE THAT YOU HIT THE BUTTON TO TURN THE MIC ON.
IS IT OK IF I REMOVE THIS WHILE I'M SPEAKING? THANK YOU. MY NAME IS DENNIS [INAUDIBLE] 200 EAST BROWARD BOULEVARD, IN FORT LAUDERDALE, AND WE HAVE THE APPLICANT.
SOME OF THEM MAY BE DUPLICATES OF WHAT STAFF JUST SHOWED, BUT IF SO, WE'LL TRY TO GO THROUGH IT QUICKLY. SO HERE'S THE SITE AGAIN, I KNOW YOU SAW A PICTURE FROM STAFF SHOWING IT, AND THEN DOWN THE LEFT HAND CORNER IS JUST A PICTURE OF THE BUILDING. THESE ARE, AGAIN, GOING OVER SOME NUMBERS.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU ALWAYS YOU MIGHT LOOK AT IS WHY IS THE LAND USE ACREAGE BIGGER THAN THE ZONING ACREAGE? AND THAT'S BECAUSE FOR LAND USE, WE USE WHAT'S CALLED GROSS ACREAGE, WHERE WE INCLUDE THE SITE AND THE PORTIONS OF THE ROADWAY AROUND IT.
FOR ZONING, WE USE NET ACREAGE, WHICH IS JUST THE SITE ITSELF.
BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE BUILDING ANYTHING IN THE ROAD.
IT'S JUST THE WAY YOU MEASURE IT FOR THESE TWO DIFFERENT MAPS.
AGAIN, MR. JOHNSON WENT OVER THE VARIOUS USES AROUND US, BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NORTH OF US IS THE TAMARAC COMMERCE PARK, WHICH IS BASICALLY AN INDUSTRIAL AND BUSINESS PARK SOUTH OF US AS THE SUNRISE COMMERCE PARK, WHICH IS ALSO BASICALLY A BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PARK. OF COURSE, THERE ARE SOME COMMERCIAL USES ALONG COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD, BUT THE AREA IS PREDOMINANTLY AN INDUSTRIAL AREA.
[00:35:01]
AGAIN, THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE PROPERTY.THE BUILDING IS VACANT, AS WAS MENTIONED, THE TELEMARKETING BUSINESS MOVED OUT IN 2017.
THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE CENSUS BUREAU TO COME IN FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS.
BUT IT WAS JUST FOR THE TIME THAT THE CENSUS WAS BEING DONE.
AND THE OWNERS KNEW WHEN THE CENSUS BUREAU CAME IN THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE A TEMPORARY THING. ONCE THE CENSUS WAS DONE, THEY WOULD MOVE OUT.
SO THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN VACANT FOR SOME TIME NOW.
THIS IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO.
THIS IS WHAT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS AN E COMMERCE FACILITY.
SO WHEN YOU HEAR E COMMERCE, I KNOW EVERYONE ALWAYS THINKS OF ONE COMPANY.
IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NECESSARILY THAT COMPANY, BUT IT'S A COMPANY THAT WILL BRING IN THE MATERIALS AND LARGE TRUCKS.
THEY'LL BE SORTED WITHIN THE BUILDING AND THEN LOADED ON TO SMALL VEHICLES, VANS AND SO ON TO BE DELIVERED TO THE CUSTOMER, TO THE BUSINESS OR THE HOMEOWNER WHO ORDERED THE ITEM ONLINE. THIS IS THE LAND USE MAP TODAY, YOU SEE PURPLE IS INDUSTRIAL, IT'S BRIGHT PURPLE AND SUNRISE. IT'S MORE LAVENDER IN TAMARACK, BUT IT'S THE SAME THING.
AND THEN COMMERCIAL IS IN RED.
AND THEN YOU WOULD SEE THAT THIS WOULD CHANGE FROM THE COMMERCIAL TO THE INDUSTRIAL.
AND THEN THIS IS THE ZONING AND YOU SEE NOW THAT KIND OF GREENISH COLOR IS THE BUSINESS PARK ZONING, WHICH IS BASICALLY THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING FOR THE CITY OF TAMARAC AND THE TAMARAC CORPORATE PARK.
AND THEN THE BRIGHT PURPLE AGAIN IN SUNRISE IS ALL THE INDUSTRIAL THERE.
AND THEN YOU SEE, IF WE CHANGE THE ZONING, WE'RE NOW MATCHING EVERYTHING THAT'S NORTH OF US.
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE USES IN THE AREA, EVEN THE ONE IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF US THAT HAD A COMMERCIAL LAND USE IS ACTUALLY AN INDUSTRIAL OPERATION.
THEY MANUFACTURE THE EQUIPMENT FOR CAR WASHES, YOU KNOW, THE TUNNELS AND THE MECHANISMS THAT MOVE THE CAR THROUGH THE TUNNEL.
THAT'S WHAT THEY DO TO THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF US.
AS MR. JOHNSON MENTIONED, THERE'S PART OF LAND USE, YOU LOOK AT ALL THESE ISSUES.
I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE WHAT YOU SEE IN THE STAFF REPORT THAT CHANGING THIS FROM COMMERCIAL TO INDUSTRIAL WILL MEAN LESS WATER USAGE, LESS SEWER USAGE AND LESS TRAFFIC THAN IF IT WAS KEPT AT THE CURRENT DESIGNATION.
AND THEN IN REZONING, THESE ARE THE CRITERIA MR. JOHNSON WENT OVER THEM ALREADY.
WE SHOWED IN OUR APPLICATION HOW WE BELIEVE WE MET THEM IN THE STAFF CONCURRED THAT WE DID MEET THEM. THIS IS THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS THAT SHOWS MORNING, AFTERNOON, RUSH HOUR, AN AVERAGE DAILY. WHAT IF YOU KEPT IT AS COMMERCIAL AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CHANGE IT TO INDUSTRIAL AND IT'S LESS TRAFFIC.
THESE ARE ALL THE VARIOUS HEARINGS.
SO TODAY IS OUR FIRST HEARING THAN WE WOULD HAVE CITY COMMISSION, AND A FIRST READING AND SECOND READING FOR THE ORDINANCES TO AMEND THE LAND USE MAP AND TO DO THE REZONING AND THEN FOR THE LAND USE MAP.
THE LAST STEP IS THAT RECERTIFICATION THAT STAFF MENTIONED, BY THE WAY, THAT COUNTY RECERTIFICATION WAS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL FOR BOTH ITEMS TODAY.
AND WE WILL COMPLY WITH THOSE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AND WE WILL PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION AS REQUESTED BY STAFF.
OTHER THAN THAT, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM HERE WITH ME AS I WAS MY CLIENT, OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER AND THE REPRESENTATIVE OF OUR SELLERS AS WELL.
SO ANY QUESTIONS FOR ANY OF US WOULD BE HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? FOR THE CITY AND/OR THE APPLICANT? I DO. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE? ARE YOU REDEVELOPING THE LOT? I'M SORRY. ARE YOU REDEVELOPING THE LOT? YES. SO YOU WANT ME TO GO BACK TO THE SLIDE THAT SHOWS WHAT'S THERE TODAY? OK, THANKS, ROB. I DON'T SEEM TO BE GOING BACKWARDS ON THIS, SO MAYBE IS IT OK NOW? OK, ROB, CAN WE GO TO THE ONE THAT ZEROES IN A LITTLE BIT MORE SO SHE CAN SEE IT BETTER? I THINK YOU'RE MOVING IT CLOSER TO THE ROAD, RIGHT? YEAH. ALL RIGHT.
SO YOU SEE WHERE THE BUILDING IS NOW? UN-HUN. AND THE BIG PARKING LOT AROUND IT.
AND THEN I THINK IF WE CAN FLIP TO OUR SITE PLAN, YOU CAN SEE HOW IT WILL LOOK WHEN WE'RE DONE. AND, OF COURSE, WE HAVE TO COME UP.
YOU HAD IT THERE JUST A MOMENT AGO.
SO THIS IS WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO DO, SO, YES, THE BUILDING WILL BE CLOSER TO THE ROAD, BUT YOU LOOK AT THAT ENTIRE AREA ALONG COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD WHERE WE HEAVILY LANDSCAPE IT AND IT'S NOT A TALL BUILDING.
IT'S BASICALLY THE SAME HEIGHT AS THE BUILDING NOW, THE HEIGHT THAT THE BUILDING THAT'S THERE NOW IS 43 FEET HIGH.
AND I THINK WE'RE 43 FEET AND SIX INCHES.
BUT WITH ALL THE LANDSCAPING AND EVERYTHING, IT'LL NOT BE SUPER VISIBLE FROM COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND IT'S GOING TO BE AN ATTRACTIVE BUILDING.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT SOME KIND OF A METAL BUILDING OR SOMETHING.
SO THIS, AS I MENTIONED, IS THE FIRST STEP.
[00:40:01]
IF WE'RE SUCCESSFUL AT THIS PROCESS, THEN WE'LL BE BACK WITH A SITE PLAN THAT WILL HAVE ALL THE DETAILS. AND, YOU KNOW, THIS LEVEL OF DETAIL PLUS MUCH MORE.AND THERE'S NO WAY FOR REPURPOSING THE OLD BUILDING OR? YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY, IT'S NOT A VERY EFFICIENT BUILDING.
AND THEN THE OFFICE MARKET, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED, WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF SWITCHING AWAY FROM OFFICE TO PEOPLE WORKING REMOTELY, PEOPLE WORKING AT HOME. SO IT REALLY, IT WON'T WORK TO JUST RENOVATE IT.
YOU REALLY NEED TO START OVER.
OK. OK, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH, I JUST I WAS LOOKING AT THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS, AND I KNOW THAT YOU USED STANDARD TRAFFIC DOCUMENT FOR THESE THINGS.
I JUST HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE HIGH CUBE PARCEL HUB RATE.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THE HIGH CUBE PARCEL, IS THAT SPECIFIC TO A DISTRIBUTION FACILITY AS WE KNOW THEM TODAY? OR IS IT SORT OF WHAT USED TO BE KNOWN AS A DISTRIBUTION CENTER, WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION, TRADITIONAL TYPE THING? I THINK THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THAT HIGH CUBE RATE THING.
AND I'M NOT SAYING THIS IS WHO IT IS, BUT THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF AN AMAZON LAST MILE FACILITY. SO ITS CURRENT, REFLECTS CURRENT, THE CURRENT SORT OF CONDITION OUT THERE WITH WHAT WE'RE SEEING BUILT TODAY? THAT'S CORRECT. OK, THE REASON I ASK THAT IS BECAUSE OFFICE NATURALLY HAS HIGH A.M.
PEOPLE ARRIVE FOR WORK IN THE MORNING AND THEN THEY LEAVE AN EVENING AND ON WEEKENDS THERE'S NOBODY THERE. AND AT NIGHT THERE'S NOBODY THERE.
SHIFTING TO THIS NEW USE OF THE DISTRIBUTION IS LIKELY TO BE MORE OF A 24 HOUR OPERATION.
SO WHILE I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND HOW THESE RATES GET APPLIED WITH RESPECT TO THE ANALYSIS, THE PRACTICAL THING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WITH THIS SHIFT IN USE IS YOU'RE GOING TO SEE TRAFFIC MORE FREQUENTLY WITH THAT USE AND JUST SEEING IT, BECAUSE I YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT I DO. SO FOR PURPOSES OF ANALYSIS, YEAH, I GET IT.
BUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THIS IS YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A MUCH DIFFERENT TRAFFIC PATTERN OUT THERE THAN YOU DO A TRADITIONAL OFFICE USE.
AND JUST TO GO TO YOUR POINT ABOUT THE OFFICE USE, THIS IS A 20 SOME ODD YEAR OLD BUILDING. SO IT'S NOT CURRENT WITH RESPECT TO HOW CURRENT BUILDINGS ARE BUILT.
AND IT'S NOT AS EFFICIENT PROBABLY AS A NEW OFFICE BUILDING CLASS B, ACTUALLY.
SO IT'S A LOWER CLASS BUILDING.
BUT I DO KNOW THAT CUSHMAN WAKEFIELD IS A MAJOR COMMERCIAL BROKER AND THEY HAVE BEEN, THEY HAVE A BROCHURE FOR THE COMPANY.
I'VE SEEN IT. I MEAN,[INAUDIBLE].
SO THEY HAVE BEEN MARKETING IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY CAN'T GET A TENANT FOR IT, BUT SO IT'S NOT AS IF THIS IS A BUILDING IS DETERIORATING OR IT CAN, YOU KNOW, A SITE THAT'S, YOU KNOW, REALLY, REALLY OLD AND IN NEED OF REDEVELOPMENT IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE THAT YOU MIGHT SEE ELSEWHERE IN AN OLDER SECTION OF A COMMUNITY AND SO ON TO MAKE AN OBSERVATION ABOUT THAT.
THAT'S ALL THE TIME SAYING ABOUT THAT.
BUT JUST GO BACK TO THE TRAFFIC, IF YOU'RE? SURE, SO THE TRAFFIC SLIDE THAT I SHOWED EARLIER WAS A COMPARISON OF WHAT THE LAND USE ALLOWS, WHICH IS COMMERCIAL AND WHAT THE PROPOSED LAND USE ALLOWS, WHICH IS THE HIGH CUBE THING YOU TALKED ABOUT. SO WHAT WE ALSO DID WAS SAY, WHY DON'T WE COMPARE IT TO WHAT WAS ACTUALLY THERE? YOU KNOW, DON'T COMPARE IT TO AN IMAGINARY SHOPPING CENTER THAT YOU COULD BUILD UNDER COMMERCIAL, COMPARE IT TO THE OFFICE BUILDING THAT WAS THERE FOR ALL THESE YEARS. SO THAT'S WHAT THIS SLIDE DOES.
SO YOU SEE AT THE TOP, IT SAYS EXISTING ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT OFFICE AND THEN THAT LUC, 710.
THAT JUST MEANS THAT'S THE CODE FROM THE ITU MANUAL THAT TRAFFIC ENGINEERS USE.
SO YOU SEE THAT THE DAILY TRIPS WERE 1071, THE MORNING RUSH HOUR, 121 AND THE AFTERNOON RUSH HOUR 115.
AND THAT'S PRETTY TYPICAL FOR A OFFICE BUILDING WHERE THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IS ROUGHLY 10 PERCENT, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE DAILY TRAFFIC.
AND THEN YOU SEE WITH OUR DELIVERY STATION, WHICH IS THIS HIGH CUBE THING THAT MR. HUGHES WAS TALKING ABOUT, WE HAVE FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE TRIPS DAILY, SEVENTEEN IN THE MORNING AND THIRTY SIX IN THE AFTERNOON.
AND SO YOU SEE IT'S A REDUCTION ACROSS THE BOARD.
NOW, WE DID SOMETHING ELSE HERE THAT I WANT TO SHOW THIS.
THE SECOND LINE IN THAT TABLE, THE ONE THAT SHOWS PROPOSED SIXTY EIGHT THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT DELIVERY STATION IN THE TOP PORTION OF THE TABLE.
THAT'S THE WAY WE ARE GOING TO OPERATE THIS.
WE HAVE CERTAIN HOURS THAT OUR DELIVERIES COME IN AND WE HAVE CERTAIN HOURS THAT THE VANS GO OUT AND WE TRY TO AVOID THE RUSH HOUR BOTH IN THE MORNING AND THE AFTERNOON, BECAUSE IT'S JUST LESS EFFICIENT FOR US TO BE DRIVING DURING THOSE TIMES.
IT TAKES LONGER TO GET TO OUR DESTINATION.
[00:45:03]
BUT THE BOTTOM TABLE IS SHOWING WHAT IF WE DIDN'T RESTRICT THE HOURS THAT WE OPERATE? WHAT IF IT WAS JUST A GENERAL FACILITY AND THEY WERE OPERATING 24 HOURS A DAY? AND YOU SEE, EVEN IN THAT SCENARIO, IT'S A REDUCTION IN THE A.M.PEAK HOUR. IT'S A LESS REDUCTION THAN DOING IT THE WAY WE'RE DOING, BUT IT'S STILL A REDUCTION FROM THE TRAFFIC THAT WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE OFFICE BUILDING.
IT IS TRUE THAT OFFICE BUILDINGS GENERALLY EVERYBODY, NOT EVERYBODY, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, PEOPLE ARE ARRIVING IN THE MORNING TO WORK AND LEAVING IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN THEY'RE DONE. SO YOU TEND TO HAVE PEAKS AT, YOU KNOW, EIGHT THIRTY IN THE MORNING, FIVE THIRTY AND AFTERNOON WHATEVER, BUT THIS FACILITY, BECAUSE INDUSTRIAL HAS SO MANY FEWER PEOPLE WORKING THERE IN THE BUILDING AND SO MUCH, SO IT HAS MUCH LESS TRAFFIC JUST BECAUSE THERE'S NOT AS MANY PEOPLE THERE.
IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR PARKING CODE, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU WILL SEE THAT THE NUMBER OF SPACES PER SQUARE FOOT FOR AN OFFICE BUILDING IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THE NUMBER OF SPACES PER SQUARE FOOT FROM AN INDUSTRIAL BUILDING BECAUSE IT'S JUST MORE PEOPLE THERE.
SO I UNDERSTAND THE TRAFFIC CONCERN, BUT I THINK ACROSS THE BOARD WE'LL HAVE LESS TRAFFIC ALL DAY LONG, MORNING RUSH HOUR AND AFTERNOON RUSH HOUR WITH THIS PROPOSED USE.
AND AS FOR THE BUILDING, I AGREE THAT A 20 YEAR LIFESPAN FOR A BUILDING IS NOT A LONG ONE. BUT I ALSO AGREE WITH WHAT THE VICE CHAIR SAID, THAT IT'S NOT A VERY GOOD OFFICE BUILDING. AND I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S WHY CUSHMAN AND WAKEFIELD, WHICH IS ONE OF THE BIGGER BROKERS IN TOWN, HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO FILL IT WITH AN OFFICE TENANT.
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE ABLE TO DO THIS PROPOSED PLAN.
AND I THINK WE ALL SEE THAT E-COMMERCE IS GROWING AT A MAJOR RATE AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE MORE OF THESE TYPES OF FACILITIES.
AND THIS IS ONE OF THE SMALLER ONES, THE ONE THAT I THINK WAS RECENTLY APPROVED ON MCNABB ROAD IS A MUCH LARGER ONE THAT SERVES A DIFFERENT FUNCTION THAN THIS ONE WOULD.
SO ANYWAY, IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER.
ANY? OK MS. WATSON? CAN YOU SPEAK TO MIC, PLEASE? WELL, I KNOW THE CITY STAFF MAY HAVE AN ANSWER, BUT IF I CAN'T, I'LL GIVE YOU WHAT MY THOUGHTS. FIRST OF ALL, WE'RE CREATING JOBS HERE.
YOU KNOW, THIS BUILDING IS SITTING VACANT DURING THE CENSUS TIME.
IT HAD PEOPLE THERE THAT IT REALLY HASN'T HAD A PERMANENT BUSINESS THERE SINCE 2017.
IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THAT THE OFFICE BUILDING ITSELF IS NOT GOING TO ATTRACT A NEW TENANT.
I MEAN, CUSHMAN AND WAKEFIELD HAVE BEEN TRYING.
IT'S CREATING INCOME IN THE AREA FOR THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THOSE JOBS.
WE'RE REDUCING THE TRAFFIC LOAD ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND WE'RE REDUCING OUR DEMAND ON YOUR WATER AND SEWER SYSTEMS. I THINK ALL OF THOSE ARE POSITIVE PUBLIC BENEFITS IN ADDITION TO THE BENEFIT FOR US.
OK, DO WE HAVE ANY? OK, [INAUDIBLE].
IF WE COULD GO BACK TO THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN SLIDE, PLEASE.
BASED ON YOUR PRESENTATION, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MATERIALS DELIVERED BY TRACTOR TRAILER AND THEN GO OUT TO THE PURCHASE AREA IN THE SMALLER VANS; CORRECT? RIGHT.
SO YOU SEE ON THIS PLAN, THE TRUCK COURT IS ON THE LOWER LEFT.
THAT'S WHERE THE TRACTOR TRAILERS WOULD COME IN AND YOU SEE HOW THEY WOULD BACK UP TO THE BUILDING. YOU SEE THOSE LITTLE STRIPES THERE.
AND THEN, AS I MENTIONED, INSIDE THE BUILDING, THINGS ARE SORTED.
AND THEN THEY WILL GO OUT THE OTHER DOOR, OUT WHERE YOU SEE THE VANS LINED UP ON THE EAST SIDE. SO, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES OF THIS PROPERTY IS ITS ACCESS TO SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY? RIGHT.
I DON'T SEE HOW TRACTOR TRAILERS COMING FROM SAWGRASS TO MAKE A DELIVERY THERE ARE GETTING INTO THE SITE WITHOUT HAVING TO GO TO HYANNIS AND MAKE A U-TURN.
WELL, THERE'S A MEDIAN OPENING AT MADISON AVENUE THAT YOU SEE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.
SO I THINK IT'S THERE COMING IN FROM THE SAWGRASS, THEY WILL BE HEADING EASTBOUND ON COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD, THEY MAKE A LEFT ON MADISON AVENUE AND COME INTO THE SITE.
IS THERE , WHATEVER, THIS IS WHETHER AERIAL RENDERING DOES NOT SHOW IMMEDIATE OPENINGS.
SO THAT WAS MY QUESTION. HOLD ON ONE SECOND.
LET ME CHECK. ROB, YOUR AERIAL PROBABLY SHOWS THAT.
[00:50:07]
SO I JUST CHECKED WITH OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER AND I WAS INCORRECT, THERE IS NOT A MEDIAN OPENING ON MADISON. THAT WAS MY MISTAKE.THEY CAN. WELL, SUZANNE, DO YOU WANT TO? SO YOU SEE THE, YOU SEE THIS DRIVEWAY RIGHT HERE.
THEY CAN'T SEE THE OTHER. ALL RIGHT.
WELL, JUST NORTH OF THE RED LINE, WHICH ARE OUR NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE, YOU SEE A DRIVEWAY GOING INTO THE SONNY'S CAR WASH MANUFACTURING SITE.
WE HAVE CROSS ACCESS WITH THEM SO WE CAN COME IN THAT WAY, TOO.
WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE A U-TURN.
GOING BACK TO YOUR SITE PLAN, THOUGH, IT DIDN'T SEEM IN YOUR SITE PLAN THAT THERE'S A ROUTE FROM TRACTOR TRAILERS TO GET FROM THERE TO THE LOADING DOCK.
CAN I INTRODUCE OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER? CERTAINLY.
SHE WILL DO A BETTER JOB. AND I UNDERSTAND SITE PLAN APPROVAL AND ALL THAT IS LOST DOWN THE LINE. THIS IS JUST A GENERAL QUESTION HERE.
GOOD MORNING. SUSAN DANIELSON, DANIELSON CONSULTING ENGINEERS.
I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE HEAVILY SCHEDULED SO THAT TRUCKS ARE EITHER GOING TO APPROACH FROM A DIFFERENT DIRECTION OR THEY'RE GOING TO CIRCLE AROUND FROM HYANNIS UP TO STATE STREET AND DOWN MADISON TO GET IN THAT TRUCK DRIVEWAY.
YEAH, YOU CAN BARELY SEE ON THE MAP RIGHT AT THE TOP.
THANK YOU. BEFORE YOU WALK AWAY, I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TRACTOR TRAILERS BRINGING THE BULK OF THE ITEMS TO THE FACILITY AND I UNDERSTAND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE VANS.
WHAT PERCENTAGE DO YOU THINK THAT WILL HAVE LARGER BOX TRUCKS? BECAUSE I DON'T IMAGINE THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE ABLE TO FIT INTO A PASSENGER VEHICLE OR A VAN. I'M THINKING THAT YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO USE BOX TRUCKS.
WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE BUSINESS DO YOU THINK YOU'LL HAVE IN BETWEEN 18 WHEELER AND THE VAN BEING A BOX TRUCK TYPE DELIVERIES? YOU KNOW, THE ONE I KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT WE'RE EXPECTING ONLY SEVEN TRACTOR TRAILERS PER DAY. SO WITHIN A 24 HOUR PERIOD, THE BOX TRUCKS, I'M NOT SURE.
DENNIS, WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW? I'M JUST CHECKING WITH MY CLIENT.
WE DON'T ANTICIPATE MUCH IN THE WAY OF BOX TRUCKS.
NOW, I'VE SEEN THEM, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WE ALL KNOW THE GRAY VANS WITH THE BLUE.
AND SO I'VE SEEN THE SMALL BOX TRUCKS, TOO, BUT WE DON'T ANTICIPATE MUCH OF THAT HERE.
AND THE 18 WHEELERS WAS JUST AS SUZANNE DESCRIBED.
SO WE THINK IT'S PREDOMINANTLY VANS COMING OUT THE EAST SIDE.
I UNDERSTAND. WHAT REGION DO YOU THINK MOST OF THE MATERIAL WILL BE COMING FROM? AND THE REASON THAT I'M ASKING THAT I'M WONDERING IF 75 WILL BE THE BEST MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. THAT'S [INAUDIBLE] BE USING THE TURNPIKE OR 95? WILL WE HAVE MOST OF THE ITEMS COMING DOWN, 75 ENTERING THE FACILITY? YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE'RE SO CLOSE TO THE SAWGRASS, I WOULD TEND TO THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET MOST OF OUR TRUCKS COMING OFF THE SAWGRASS.
BUT THE GOOD THING ABOUT COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD IS IT HAS AN EXIT AT THE TURNPIKE AND AT I-95. SO I WOULDN'T SUGGEST THAT 100 PERCENT OF THEM ARE COMING FROM THE SAWGRASS.
SOME OF THEM ARE GOING TO COME FROM THE EAST, BUT PROBABLY NOT A LARGE PERCENTAGE.
AND CONSTRUCTION WISE, HOW LONG DO WE THINK THAT THE BUILDING WILL BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION? SIX YEARS. SIX MONTHS? SIX MONTHS? YES, OK.
THESE TYPES OF BUILDINGS, YOU KNOW, ONCE YOU START, YOU KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU'RE FINISHED.
IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S MULTIPLE BUILDINGS.
YOU'RE BUILDING IN PIECES. YOU START YOU GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH TILL YOU'RE DONE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO DEMO THE BUILDING, HAVE THE PROTECTION, THE PRIVACY FENCES UP AROUND THE PERIMETER. SIX MONTHS IN, COMPLETELY FINISHED BUILDING? THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S WHAT HE'S SAYING, FOR THE RECORD, THAT'S MY CLIENT.
WE'RE GOING TO HOLD YOU TO THAT.
FROM TPA, WHO'S HERE FROM ATLANTA THIS MORNING.
OK, DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I JUST HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF, SHOULD THE APPROVAL FOR THE REZONING ALSO BE CONDITIONED ON THE PLAT BEING CHANGED? I SEE THE CONDITION THAT'S IN THE ITEM IS JUST FOR THE RECERTIFICATION.
NO, WE'RE GOING RECONDITION THAT ON THE SITE PLAN.
OK. OK, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD ONE LAST TIME?
[00:55:02]
I DO HAVE A QUESTION IS, YOU KNOW, THESE ROADWAYS ARE GETTING TORN UP BY SEMIS AND THE VANS, NOT JUST IN THIS AREA, BUT, YOU KNOW, EAST OF THERE WITH THE TRAFFIC.WE HAVE TWO MAJOR FACILITIES COMING IN.
YOU'VE GOT AMAZON COMING IN AND IT'S GOING TO BE RUNNING TRUCKS AS WELL AND THEN AS WELL AS THIS FACILITY. SO WHAT'S THE PROJECTION ON HAVING THESE ROADS FIXED EVERY SO OFTEN? BECAUSE YOU RUN AROUND THESE NOW THEY JAR YOU.
FOR COMMERCIAL. IT'S A SAFE TRUCK DRIVE.
COMMERCIAL IS A STATE ROAD, SO THAT WOULD BE UNDER STATE PURVIEW TO REPAIR.
I'M JUST SAYING ON THESE ROADWAYS ARE IN DISREPAIR NOW FROM ALL THESE TRUCKS AND WE'RE GOING TO KEEP ADDING MORE.
WELL, THERE WOULD BE REPAIRED AS SCHEDULED FOR [INAUDIBLE].
ALL RIGHT. TO ADD TO THAT, I UNDERSTAND THAT COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD IS STATE PROPERTY, THE SMALLER ROADS LIKE THE MADISON, THE STATE STREET, THE HYANNIS, DO WE HAVE ANYTHING IN PLACE, PROVISIONS IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THOSE ROADS? MADISON AVENUE, THAT'S A PRIVATE STREET, SO THAT WOULD BE UNDER THAT AGREEMENT WITH THEM TO MAINTAIN.
SO AS ROB WAS SAYING, MADISON AVENUE WAS PRIVATE.
THERE'S A PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION IN THE TAMARAC CORPORATE PARK AND THERE ARE CERTAIN PRIVATE ROADS IN THERE.
AND SO THAT ASSOCIATION IS RESPONSIBLE TO MAINTAIN AND KEEP THOSE ROADS IN REPAIR.
I UNDERSTAND. AND HYANNIS IS OWNED BY THE STATE OR IS IT THE CITY? I THINK IT'S COUNTY PROPERTY.
SO I THINK WHAT WE'RE GETTING AT IS IF IN FIVE YEARS THE ROADS ARE SEVERELY DAMAGED BY THE TRAFFIC THAT'S THERE AND THE RESIDENTS AREN'T HAPPY.
HOW DO WE ADDRESS THAT? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE ARE GOING TO ADDRESS? I THINK THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE.
YES, THEY WILL BE, JR, THERE IS COORDINATION WITH THE COUNTY.
THE CITY ALSO HAS A SCHEDULE IN TERMS OF HOW WE COORDINATE WITH THE COUNTY.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THOSE ROADS ARE IN GOOD IN A GOOD STATE.
THEY ARE, OF COURSE, THE INTENT WOULD BE TO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THEM.
I'M SORRY WHEN YOU'RE DONE, I HAVE A QUESTION.
QUESTION ABOUT THE PLAT NEW AMENDMENT.
WILL IT BE RESTRICTED TO WHAT THE PROPOSED SIZE FACILITY IS? YES. AND SO THERE'S NO CHANCE FOR IT TO GET BIGGER? NO. NO. YEAH. THANKS.
GOOD QUESTION. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE EXHAUSTED ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS THIS MORNING, DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? OK, ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD AND APPROVE ITEM NUMBER TWO, WHICH IS THE CASE NO.
1-LUA-21, PETITION UP TO APPROVE OF A LARGE SCALE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT PETITION TO FOLLOW THE AMENDMENT OF APPROXIMATELY FIFTEEN POINT EIGHT TO GROSS ACRES OF LAND USE FROM COMMERCIAL TO INDUSTRIAL.
SO WE'RE LOOKING TO VOTE TO MOVE THIS AREA FROM COMMERCIAL USE TO INDUSTRIAL USE.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE? MOTION TO APPROVE. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. DAVID MUNFORD? NO.
NIKOLE CLEARE? YES. RICHARD HUGHES? YES, SUJIN BELL? YES, ERIC GNAGE? YES. VIOLA WATSON? YES. MOTION TO APPROVE THE LARGE SCALE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT.

YOU'RE WELCOME. DO WE HAVE ANY PLANNING BOARD REPORT? ANYONE ON THE BOARD LIKE TO MAKE A REPORT OR SHARE ANYTHING AT THIS TIME? LOOKS LIKE WE DON'T HAVE ANY REPORTS, I'D LIKE TO HAND IT OVER TO THE DIRECTOR.
[H. Director's Report]
DIRECTOR'S REPORT, MS. CALLOWAY? GOOD MORNING AGAIN TO EVERYONE.JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE ITEMS THAT WERE HEARD BEFORE THIS BODY.
AT THE LAST PLANNING BOARD MEETING.
THE PLANNING BOARD HEARD THE QUASI JUDICIAL ITEM, JENNY SPA INC, AT YOUR LAST MEETING.
IT WAS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUEST THAT WAS APPROVED BY THIS BODY.
THE CITY COMMISSION HEARD THE ITEM AND DENIED THAT ITEM.
ITEM NUMBER TWO WAS THE PARKSIDE MEMORY CARE ALF FACILITY, WHERE THE ITEM WAS FOR FLEXIN REDEVELOPMENT ACREAGE, AS WELL AS A SITE PLAN APPROVAL APPLICATION.
THE CITY COMMISSION HEARD BOTH ITEMS AND CONTINUED BOTH ITEMS TO PROVIDE THE APPLICANT WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET INDIVIDUALLY WITH EACH COMMISSION MEMBER.
SO THAT ITEM IS NOT YET BEEN SCHEDULED BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION FOR HEARING.
WE'RE WAITING ON THE APPLICANT TO RESUBMIT OR FOR THE APPLICANT TO MEET WITH ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION. THAT'S THE ONLY UPDATE THAT I HAVE FOR YOU.
AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, JUST LET ME KNOW.
SURE. CAN YOU TELL ME ON WHAT GROUNDS THEY DENIED THE JENNY SPA.
THE COMMISSION WAS A BIT CONCERNED.
APPARENTLY, THE APPLICANT HAD BEEN OPERATING OUT OF THAT FACILITY.
THERE WERE CERTAIN QUESTIONS THAT WERE POSED TO THE APPLICANT THAT THE APPLICANT DID NOT SUFFICIENTLY RESPOND TO.
AND I THINK THE COMMISSION JUST WAS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE BUSINESS ALTOGETHER.
OK, SO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? THEY RETRY OR? WELL, THE CODE PROVIDES THAT UNLESS SOMETHING CHANGED, APPLICANT CANNOT FILE FOR ABOUT A YEAR. AND SO I THINK THE INTENT IS FOR THE APPLICANT JUST TO NOT OPEN THAT BUSINESS IN THE CITY. OK, THANK YOU FOR THE REPORTING UPDATE.
ALL RIGHT. IF WE HAVE NOTHING ELSE, WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND ADJOURN.
I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING AND TAKING THE TIME OUT AND VOLUNTEERING THE BOARD YOUR TIME.
WE APPRECIATE IT. STAY SAFE WITH COVID.
AND WE ARE ADJOURNED.
