ALL THIS FOOD IS MAKING ME HUNGRY. >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
[Items 2 & 3 *This meeting was joined in progress*]
I'M ATTORNEY STEVE ALEXANDER. I'M NO RELATION TO KATHRYN ALEXANDER, AND I DO AGREE SHE DID A GREAT JOB, SO I'LL TRY AND FOLLOW HER LEAD. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE CAJUN CRAB HUT INCORPORATED, AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, THE LOCATION OF THAT RESTAURANT, THEY'VE BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE MID-NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR, AND IF YOU REMEMBER ON YOU US 1 SOUTH WHERE THIS THE PONCE DE LEON MALL IS THEY'RE IN THAT FACILITY IN THE OLD BLOCKBUSTER BUILDING, SO T. WHERE THE BLOCKBUSTER PLACE WAS A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, THAT IS THEIR HOME TODAY THE AS THEIR RESTAURANT.

AND THEN IT TALKS ABOUT THE SPECIAL USE REQUEST. THE ADDRESS LOCATION.
FUTURE LAND USE TO SUBJECT PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.
WE HAVE A FUTURE LAND USE MAP. AND THE DESIGNATION OF MIXED USE, MD.
I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT JUST DOWN THE STREET THERE'S ABOUT SIX DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS AT STATE ROAD 312. THAT ENTIRE CORRIDOR COULD ALL HAVE ALCOHOL OR LIQUOR LICENSES.
THE OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE, APPLE BEE'S, LONG HORN'S WG CHEALG, RED LOBSTER AND CARABA'S AND THEY'RE ROUGHLY WITHIN A HALF A MILE OF THIS LOCATION. GO AHEAD.
>> THERE ARE EVEN MORE. >> THERE PROBABLY ARE. THAT'S A QUICK RUNDOWN OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. THEN, OF COURSE, AS YOU CAN SEE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW IS THE LOCATION. ONCE AGAIN IT'S THE OLD BLOCKBUSTER BUILDING AND THERE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE IS THE PONCE DE LEON MALL. AND HERE IS THE ZONING MAP.
AND THEN THERE IS OUR RESTAURANT MENU WHICH SHOWS BASICALLY IT'S A SEAFOOD RESTAURANT.
AND THIS SHOWS DIESHTS SITE PLAN THAT SHOWS BASICALLY OUR SEATING WHICH IS ROUGHLY 159 SEATS AND THE LOCATION. AND WE HAVE TWO OR THREE PICTURES INSIDE THE RESTAURANT.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE. AND THAT'S IT. >> ALL RIGHT.
>> SO WE'RE OBVIOUSLY ASKING FOR TWO THINGS, NUMBER ONE IS, OF COURSE, THE SPECIAL USE FOR THE 4COP LIQUOR LICENSE, AND THEN WE'RE ASKING FOR A VARIANCE BECAUSE WE'RE ROUGHLY 800 TO 1,000 FEET FROM A CHURCH, WHICH IS ON ACTUALLY THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PONS MALL, SO IF YOU GO TO THE PONCE MALL AND LOOK ON THE OTHER SIDE FACING, I GUESS, OLD MOULTRIE ROAD OR SOUTH DIXIE HIGHWAY, THERE'S A CHURCH ON THE BACK END OF THAT. WE'RE ONLY DOING NUMBER 2.
ARE WE DOING TO ZONING VARIANCE AS WELL? CAN I GO AHEAD AND GO INTO
THE -- >> YES, PLEASE. >> ALL RIGHT.
GO AHEAD, THEN. AND BASICALLY WE HAVE A PICTURE THERE SHOWING THE LOCATION OF WHERE WE'RE AT ON THE ZONING MAP. THE ZONING VARIANCE.

AND ONCE AGAIN THIS IS THE MAP SERIES, THE LOCATION, AND SO FORTH ON US-1 SOUTH, AND THERE'S THE DIAGRAM OF THE LOCATION THERE. SAME MATERIALS AS IN THE LAST ONE REGARDING THE VARIANCE.
AND THE SITE PLAN WITH ALL THE SEATS THAT ARE LOCATED INSIDE THE BUILDING AND OUR MENU.
AND THAT'S IT. >> ALL RIGHT. >> I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE THE OWNER OF THE RESTAURANT HERE WITH ME, QUOINT.
WOULD YOU -- QUINTON. WOULD YOU STAND UP? HE'S THE OWNER OF THE
RESTAURANT. >> ALL RIGHT. SO FIRST BACK TO THE AGENCY, DO
WE HAVE ANY EX PARTE COMMUNICATION? >> NO.
>> SEEING NONE, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? >> I JUST WANTED TO ASK IN THE PONCE MALL, I MEAN, WHAT EXACTLY IS IN THERE NOW? I MEAN, JUST --
>> BOSQUE IS THE BIGGEST TENANT. I THINK THERE ARE TWO ARE THREE OTHER SMALLER TEANTS THERE BUT OF COURSE JP C PENES' IS TOTALLY CLOSED DOWN SO THERE'S NOT MUCH IN THERE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
>> AND THE CHURCH IS ON THE BACK. >> THE CHURCH FACES THE BACK.
>> BACK WHERE THE OLD MOVIE THEATER WAS. >> YES, EXACTLY.
>> YES, DR. HILSENBECK. >> SINCE YOU BROUGHT IT UP, IT'S EITHER 800 OR 1 TO YOU FEET FROM THAT CHURCH -- 1,000 FEET FROM THAT CHURCH, COULD WE GET PETER PETER TO MEASURE THAT WITH THE
GIS? I'M JUST CURIOUS. >> IF YOU LOOK ON THE MATERIALS, THERE'S BANE OF THIENGS WHERE YOU TAKE THE NEAREST POINT PRAY RESTAURANT AND A CIRCLE AND IT
CUTS RIGHT THROUGH THE MOVIE THEATER. >> I DID SEE THAT.
>> IT'S PROBABLY CLOSER TO 900 TO 1,000, BUT I'D RATHER BE MORE LIBERAL AND SAY 800 TO 1,000,
BUT IT'S QUITE A DISTANCE. >> I HAVE NO OTHER QUESTIONS. >> SURE.
>> DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.
DO WE HAVE IN SPEAKER CARDS? I ASSUME WE RECEIVED NONE. >> WE DO NOT.
>> AND ANYBODY ON GTV? >> NO PUBLIC COMMENT. >> ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU. SO WE'RE BACK INTO THE AGENCY, AND CHRISTINE, SHOULD WE VOTE ON
3 FIRST AND THEN GO TO 2 OR DOES IT NOT MATTER? >> IT DOESN'T MATTER.
THAT'S FINE. >> ALL RIGHT. DO YOU WANT TO WAIT FOR AN
ANSWER, DR. HILSENBECK, BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD? >> IT'S NOT AS A DEAL BREAKER
FOR ME. >> THEN I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
>> I THOUGHT HE COULD COME UP WITH IT. >> IT APPEARS IT'S ROUGHLY 675 FEET FROM THE NEAREST PARCEL BOUND RIGHT TO THE NEAREST CORNER OF THE CAJUN CRAB HUT, BUT THAT'S WITHOUT KNOWING FULL EXTENT OF THE FOOT PRINT OF CHURCH ON THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY, BUT IF IT'S THROUGH THAT, IT IS JUST BASICALLY THAT BACK SQUARE THAT'S ABOUT THE
DISTANCE. >> SO AS THE CROW FLIES, IT WOULD BE 675, BUT TO EVEN GET TO THE CHURCH, YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY AROUND. SO I'M FINE WITH IT.
>> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. SO I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION AT
THIS POINT. >> DR. MCCORMICK IS HITTING THE BUTTON.
FIRST OF ALL, WE'RE TAKING UP NUMBER 2 FIRST. IS THAT CORRECT?

[4. ZVAR 2020-32 475 N. Orange Street.]
I AM SALLY WALTERS AND I'M REPRESENTING OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS INCORPORATED PROPERTY OWNER AT 475 NORTH ORANGE. I'M REQUESTING A ZONING VARIANCE REDUCTION OF OUR FIRST FRONT SETBACK WHICH IS THE ORANGE STREET SETBACK FROM 25 FEET TO 12 FEET.THIS IS THE LOCATION MAB MAP. FUTURE USE LAND MAP. ZONING MAP.
AERIAL MAP. IF I'M GOING TOO FAST, LET ME KNOW.
THE REASON I'M APPLYING FOR THE VARIANCE IS WE HAVE A UNIQUE TOPOGRAPHY IN THIS LOT.
IT IS A CORNER LOT. IT HAD ORIGINALLY A FIRST FRONT SETBACK ON ORANGE STREET OF 25 FEET AND A SECOND SETBACK ON PEARL STREET WHICH IS 20 FEET, AND THEN THE REAR OF THE LOT THERE'S SOME OPEN WETLANDS WHICH REQUIRE A 25 FEET VEGETATIVE BUFFER, AND THEN AN ADDITIONAL 25 FEET BUILDING BUFFER, SO WE HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF THE LAND THAT CAN'T BE USED IN THE BACK, AND THEN AGAIN THE EXTRA SETBACK ON THE SIDE. THIS IS HOW WE WOULD LAY OUT THE CONFIGURATION TO CONSTRUCTION A HOME WHICH WOULD COMPLY WITH THE 25% LOT COVERAGE FOR THIS AREA.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU. DO ANY AGENCY MEMBERS HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE, IS THERE ANY -- >> I'M SORRY.
I WAS ASKING SHOULD WE DO EX PARTE. >> YES, THANK YOU.
OKAY. EX PARTE. IS THERE ANY EX PARTE
COMMUNICATION? >> NO. >> NOW A QUESTION.
SORRY. >> I DIDN'T HAVE A QUESTION UNTIL YOU PREPTD BECAUSE I DID READ THE ITEM BUT WHAT ARE OPEN WET SNNLDZ YOU SAID OPEN WETLAND.
IT LOOKED LIKE TREE COVER ON THOSE WETLANDS TBHUT FOR STAYING OUT OF THEM -- BUT THANK YOU FOR
STAYING OUT OF THEM. >> YES, ABSOLUTELY. WE HAD TO HAVE THIS LAND REPLATTED QUITE SOME TIME AGO BECAUSE OF THE WETLANDS NEEDED TO BE DELINEATED PIE DEP.
I CAN'T REALLY SPEAK TO WHAT THEIR REQUIREMENT IS FOR THAT DESIGNATION BUT I KNOW THAT THEY WERE INVOLVED IN THIS RE-PLAT AND THAT IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THAT IS OPEN, WHICH I GUESS IS WHAT WET MOST ALL THE TIME. IT DOESN'T DRY NECESSARILY, AND I THINK THERE IS FLOW.
BUT AGAIN THAT'S OUT OF MY DEPTH A LITTLE. >> I'VE JUST NEVER HEARD THE TERM OPEN WETLAND. NONETHELESS, I DID READ IN THE APPLICATION THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER HOUSES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAVE SMALLER THAN 25-FOOT SETBACK, IS THAT
CORRECT? >> YES, THAT'S CORRECT. >> THANKS.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? ALL RIGHT.
SEEING NONE, ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON GTV? >> NO PUBLIC COMMENT.
>> ALL RIGHT. WE'RE BACK INTO THE AGENCY FOR A MOTION.
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, I'LL OFFER A MOTION TO APPROVE ZVAR 2020-32, A REQUEST FOR A ZONING VARIANCE OF TABLE 6.01 OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE TO ALLOW A FRONT YARD SET PAC OF 12 FEET IN LIEU OF 25-FOOT RETIREMENT IN RESIDENTIAL FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SINGLE FAMILY PAY DOLLARS ON FIVE FINDINGS OF FACT AND SUBJECT TO SEVEN IN OUR STAFF REPORT.
[00:15:05]

TO A GAME ROOM/LIVING QUARTERS IN OUR HOME. >> CAN YOU SPEAK UP A LITTLE
BIT, SIR. >> I'M SORRY. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

[6. MAJMOD 2020-19 Silver Creek PUD.]
MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 6, MS. ACEVEDO. WELCOME.>> GOOD AFTERNOON, SHANNON ACEVEDO FOR THE RECORD 7 WALDO STREET WITH MATTHEWS DESIGN GROUP. THIS IS THE MAJOR MODIFICATION TO THE SILVER CREEK PUD.
AND I'M REPRESENTING MY CLIENT DANA B. CANYON COMPANY WHO IS ALSO HERE AS WELL.
JUST TO GIVE YOU A GENERAL IDEA OF LOCATION, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST A PORTION OF THE SILVER CREEK PUD. THIS IS A 4-ACRE SITE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF STATE ROAD 207.
ON THE EAST SIDE OF SILVER LANE. AND IT'S IN THE MIXED USE DISTRICT SURROUND DOLLARS BY MIXED ED BY MIXED USE AND IT IS PART OF THE SILVER CREEK PUD AS YOU CAN SEE OUTLINED THERE. AND IS AUK SEE IT'S PARTIALLY DEFLTD WITH THE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY TO THE NORTH. -- PARTIALLY DEVELOPED. SO THIS APPLICATION REQUEST HAS TWO PARTS TO IT. FIRST PART IS THERE IS A VERY TINY .03-ACRE SITE, AS YOU CAN
[00:20:06]
SEE I'VE KIND OF BLOWN IT UP SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THAT UHL ACTUALLY THE ZONING IS OR, OWFER, THE REASON WHY -- HOWEVER, THE REASON WHY IT'S OR IS IT WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR A SMALL ST. JOHNS COUNTY LIFT STATION. A FEW YEARS AGO IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE COUNTY NEEDED MORE SPACE SO, IN FACT, IT WAS RELOCATED TO THE END OF THIS AREA. THIS IS PART OF THE SAME PUD EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN SEE IT'S SORT OF BISECTED. HOWEVER, THAT LITTLE SQUARE WAS NEVER REINCORPORATED INTO THE PUD, SO A PART OF THIS APPLICATION IS TO GO AHEAD AND REZONE IT AS PART OF THE PUD.IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN SHOWN THAT WAY ON SOME OF THE PREVIOUS MAPS, BUT AS A LEARNED, THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION NEVER INCORPORATED IT. SO THAT'S THE FIRST PIECE OF THIS MAJOR MODIFICATION. THE SECOND PIECE IS TO REDUCE A USE BUFFER, AND WE'RE LOOKING AT TWO PLACES IN PARTICULAR. ONE IS TO REDUCE FROM 20 FEET TO 10 FEET ALONG THE PERIMETER BUFFER, WHICH IS AN ADJACENT TO STORM WATER POND OWNED BY FDOT, AND SIMILARLY ON THE -- JUST ON THE NORTH SIDE OF IN SPECIFIC PROPERTY TO REDUCE TO 8 FEET, WHICH IS A TYPICAL LANDSCAPE YOU EVER BUFFER BUFFER FOR PARKING AREAS OR DRIVE-THROUGH AREAS, AND THIS WOULD BE ON THE SIDE THAT FACES ANOTHER STORM WATER POND THAT'S INTERIOR TO THE PUD BOUND BO.
SO LOOKING AT THE PUD AS A WHOLE, I PUT IN IT COLOR JUST DEFINED GIVE YOU A GENERAL IDEA, BUT THE YELLOW AREA, THAT IS THE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY SITE. THE PUD ALLOWS FOR 350,000 SQUARE FEET, UP TO OF SPECIAL CARE HOUSING. THERE'S ALSO A COMMERCIAL COMPONENT WHICH INCLUDES THE PIECE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY IN GREEN, AS WELL AS ACROSS THE STREET THERE'S ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL, WHICH IS PLANNED FOR AND ENCOMPASSES HEALTH, AND THIS DEFINED PAINTS A PICTURE FOR YOU. AS YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A POND THAT COMES ADJACENT TO THE SITE BOTH TO THE EAST AS WELL AS THIS DEVELOPED UPON IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF IT. THE USES ARE ALLOWED BY RIGHT. WE'RE LOOKING AT MEDICAL AND GENERAL OFFICE USE. AND AS THE PUD AS A WHOLE ALLOWS FOR 155,000, THE PROVISION OF THIS, WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN INCREMENTAL WOULD BE WELL WITHIN THAT THRESHOLD AND STILL HAVE ABOUT 70,740 SQUARE FEET LEFT. SO THIS IS THE PLAN.
LOOKING AT TWO DIFFERENT BUILDINGS. AND I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE BUFFERS FOR A MINUTE BECAUSE THERE IS JUSTIFICATION FOR THE REQUEST TO REDUCE THIS BUFFER SIZE, ONE BEING THAT PARCEL TO THE EAST TRULY IS JUST AN OUTLINE OF THE POND.
THERE WAS NO OTHER USE, SO NO COMPATIBILITY CONCERNS FOR THAT. THE NON-RESIDENTIAL IS NOT WITHIN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO RESIDENTIAL OR OTHER USES. THE L-SHAPE OF THE PROPERTY CAUSES SOME SITE CONSTRAINTS, SO IN ORDER TO OPTIMIZE THE DEVELOPMENT, WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT AS AN OPTION. AND TO FURTHER MITIGATE THE REDUCTION TO THE NORTH, WE ARE LOOKING AT INSTALLING A FINISHED 6-FOOT FENCE THAT WOULD BE ALONG THAT NORTHERN BOUNDARY.
SO JUST TO KIND OF PINPOINT EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE WAIVER, YOU CAN SEE THAT'S WHERE THAT 10-FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER WOULD BE NEXT TO THE FDOT POND.
AND THEN THE 8-FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER WITH FINISHED FENCE THAT SHARES THE SIDE.
AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT POND REALLY RUNS THE FULL EXPANSION OF WHERE THAT PARKING AREA WOULD BE. 20-FOOT WOULD BE -- 20-FOOT B BUFFER, WHICH IS TRADITIONAL BETWEEN USES, WOULD BE ON THE SIDE WHERE WE'VE GOT OUR STORM WATER POND AND THERE ISN'T AS MUCH OF A SITE CONSTRAINT THERE. AND THIS IS JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF SCALE.
THIS IS THAT SITE THAT WOULD BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PUD THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR A LIFT STATION. AND SO IN SUMMARY, WE'RE LOOKING AT INCORPORATING THAT SMALL PIECE AS WELL AS THAT WAIVER REQUEST FOR THE REDUCED BUFFER. IT SHOULD NOT CAUSE ANY SORT OF COMPATIBILITY CONCERNS. DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S THEN ANY CORRESPONDENCE RECEIVED BY STAFF OF ANY CONCERNS FROM CITIZENS OR PHONE CALLS. AND IT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH
[00:25:03]
THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. IT'S A USE THAT'S ALLOWED BY RIGHT.AND WITH THAT, WE REQUEST APPROVAL OF THIS MAJOR MOSKSD. I'LL STAND BY -- MODIFICATION.
I'LL STAND BY IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE AGENCY. >> ALL RIGHT.
IS THERE ANY EX PARTE COMMUNICATION TO BE DECLARED HERE?
>> NO. >> OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS OF MS. ACEVEDO?
YES, DR. HILSENBECK. >> MY MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS IS THE REDUCED BUFFER.
BUFFERS ARE NOT ONLY FOR SCREENING PURPOSES, ALTHOUGH THAT MAY BE THE MAIN.
REASON THAT THE VISUAL SCREENING, VISUAL BUFFER, BUT SINCE THESE ARE JAINTS ADJACENT TO STORM WATER BONDS, I AGREE NO ONE IS LIVING OVER THERE, SO THE VISUAL BUFFER IS NEEDED LESS, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT POTENTIAL RUNOFF FROM PARKING LOTS AND LAWNS OF NUTRIENTS FROM FERTILIZERS OR GREASE OR OIL FROM THE PARKING LOT INTO THESE STORM WATER PONDS BECAUSE I BELIEVE BOTH OF THEM ULTIMATELY DRAIN TO MOULTRIE CREEK, SO WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS TO, WITH THE REDUCED BUFFER, TO AMIL OVERRAITT AT OVERAMIL OVERRATE ANY RAUH FROM THOSE AREAS? BESIDES THE FENCE, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT WILL ON IT ON THE
NORTHERN BOUNDER. >> YOU YES. I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE TECHNICALITIES BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T BEGUN ENGINEERING ON THIS YET, BUT THE IDEA WAS WE'RE TRYING TO BE CONSERVATIVE IN THAT WE WOULD ACCOUNT FOR STORM WATER ON THE SITE, SO THAT WOULD BE CONCENTRATED IN THIS AREA, WHICH IS KIND OF A LOWER AREA WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT AREA. IF WE WERE TO FIND THAT THERE WAS SOME SITE CONSTRAINTS TO BEING ABLE TO ATTENUATE AND TREAT EVERYTHING AND NOT CREATING ANY KIND OF RUNOFF ISSUES, WE DID PUT IN THE MTP MAP THAT IT WOULD BE A MAXIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE, AND THAT WAY WE HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY IF WE NEEDED TO PARE BACK THE IMPERVIOUS SURFACE AND BUILDING
AREA, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO SO. >> OKAY. THANK YOU.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM AGENCY MEMBERS? SEEING NONE, DO WE HAVE ANY
SPEAKER CARDS? >> WE DO NOT. >> ANY SPEAKERS ON GTV?
>> NO PUBLIC COMMENT. >> ALL RIGHT. WE ARE BACK INTO THE AGENCY.
LOOKING FOR A MOTION. >> MR. CHAIRMAN, I'M HAPPY TO OFFER A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF MAJOR MODIFICATION 20-19 SILVER CREEK PUD A MAJOR MODIFICATION TO THE SILVER CREEK PUD ORDINANCE 202-POINT-39 AS AMEND TO ALLOW A 20-FOOT BUILDING SETBACK WI AN 8 LANDSCAPE BUFFER ALONG A PORTION OF THE NORTHERN PROPERTY BOUNDARY, A 10-FOOT PERIMETER BUFFER IN LIEU OF A 20 OFB INCOMPATIBILITY BUFFER ALONG WITH AN FDOT POND SITE THAT IS ZONED OPEN RURAL AND TO CLARIFY THE ADDITION OF APPROXIMATELY 0 WANT ROW 3 ACRES OF LAND TO THE
SILVER CREEK PUD PUD BASED ON SEVEN FINDINGS OF FACT. >> WE HAVE A MOTION.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? >> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. LET'S CALL THE ROLE. MR. MILLER.
>> YES. >> MR. PETERS. >> YES.
>> MR. ALAIMO. >> YES. >> DR. HILSENBECK.
>> YES. >> DR. MCCORMICK. >> YES.

AND ONCE AGAIN JUST TO REZONE .19 ACRES FOR A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.

ST. JOHNS COUNTY STAFF HAS ADVISED THAT IT APPEARS TO BE COMPATIBLE.
IT'S LOCATED ALONG A MIXED USE CORRIDOR, RESIDENTIAL IMPACT AND COMMERCIAL.
HERE'S THE FLUE MAP HERE. D. THE FLU MAP. ST. JOHNS COUNTY STAFF HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE, TO MY KNOWLEDGE. HERE IS THE AERIAL.
[00:30:03]
AND IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE ADJACENT PARCELS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY ARE ZONED FOR MORE INTENSIVE ZONING AND NO BUFFER AREAS THAT REQUIRE THE LESS INTENSIVE USE.SO IF APPROVED, THE RESIDENTIAL HOME COULD BE NEAR COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORLY SUCH AS CONVENIENCE STORE, A GROCERY STORE. AND THAT CONCLUDES IT. ANY QUESTIONS?
>> ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE ANY EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS?
NO. >> SEEING NONE, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
>> NO. >> SEEING NONE, DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKER CARDS?

DO WE HAVE SOMEONE TO PRESENT FOR ITEM 8? >> GOOD AFTERNOON, GUYS.
MY NAME IS STEVE BRITTON AND I AM HERE TO REQUEST REZONING OF ABOUT 3.88 ACRES OH AGRICULTURAL CENTER TRIVE. IT'S CURRENTLY COMMERCIAL GENERAL CG, AND I'M LOOKING TO MOVE TO IT CUSTOMER INTENSIVE TO ALLOW FOR RV AND BOAT STORAGE. THAT'S AN AERIAL.
JUST TO THE SOUTH THERE IS ACTUALLY ST. JOHNS COUNTY PROPERTY THAT USED TO BE ABOUT A 5.5-ACRE LOT. THE OWNER BROKE IT OFF AND SOLD THAT BEFORE I BOUGHT THIS.
THERE'S THE ZONING MAP. FUTURE LAND USE FLOOD ZONE MAP.
AND THEN KIND OF JUST IN SUMMARY LIKE I SAID, WE'RE LOOKING TO REZONE TO CI.
THE CURRENT ZONING WOULD ALLOW FOR IF BOAT AND RV STORAGE, SO THE PROVISIONS, AS FAR AS ON-SITE STAFF, THINGS LIKE THAT, WOULDN'T REALLY COME INTO PLAY. AND THEN, YEAH, WE'LL FOLLOW ALL OF THE OTHER GUIDELINES GIVEN FOR BOAT AND RV STORAGE UNDER THE NEW ZONING, AS FAR AS BUFFERS GO, FENCING, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THAT'S KIND OF OUR PRELIMINARY SKETCH WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO. I THINK THAT'S IT.
WE'LL JUST LEAVE IT ON THAT IF YOU WANT. >> GREAT.
BACK INTO THE AGENCY, DO WE HAVE ANY EX PARTE TO DOES CLOSE? >> YES, MR. CHAIRMAN.
DID I DO -- I DID A SITE VISIT. I ALSO SPOKE WITH ONE OF THE BUSINESS OWNERS ACROSS THE WAIT 3525 AGRICULTURAL DRIVE. THEY'RE DOING SOME CONSTRUCTION. KNOWN I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE PAVING THE ROADS. THERE'S A LOT OF TRIEWSKT THERE BUT DID I DO A SITE VISIT.
>> ALL RIGHT. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM AGENCY MSNBC YES,
DR. HILSENBECK. >> WHAT ARE THE USES OF THOSE THREE THE BUILDINGS TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST OF YOUR PROPERTY, THOSE ELONGATED RECTANGULAR BUILDINGS?
>> THAT IS A FARM ON THE NORTHWEST-WEST. I BELIEVE MR. USINA MAY HAVE PASSED AWAY. MS. USINA MAY STILL OWN IT. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THEY ARE THE ONES THAT KIND OF DEVELOPED THE OLD AG CENTER DRIVE, AND THEIR SON I BELIEVE IT IS, HE'S THE GENTLEMAN WHO OWNS THE GUN RANGE IN THE VERY FAR BACK CORNER.
HE IS STILL KIND OF AROUND THERE. HE STOPPED BY AND TALKED TO US ABOUT IT. I DON'T KNOW IF HE LIVES THERE OR NOT, ABOUT IT BELIEVES THAT'S
MRS. USINA. >> SO THEY'RE NOT RESIDENCES. >> NO, SIR, I DON'T BELIEV SO
SO==. >> I'M NOT CERTAIN ABOUT WHAT'S THERE.
>> OKAY. >> ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT?
[00:35:02]
>> IS THERE ANOTHER RV STORAGE AROUND THE CORNER? >> YES, SIR.
>> FROM THERE? >> YES, SIR. IT'S A LITTLE BIT -- IT'S A WHOLE NEW LEVEL WHAT I'M LOOKING TO DO. IT'S GOT THE ENGINEERED ROOFS AND TRUSTS AND IT'S LIKE FOR THE BIG BOY TOYS, THE HALF A MILLION DOLLARS RVS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WE'RE MORE LOOKING TOWARDS THE GUY -- SILVER LEAF AND THE NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND THERE WHERE YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR BOAT, JUST A GUY WHO NEEDS TO KEEP HIS BOAT THERE, KEEP HIS TRAILER THERE. WE DON'T ANTICIPATE BY ANY MEANS BEING IN COMPETITION WITH THEM.
WE DON'T HAVE THE ROOM OR THE RESOURCES. >> AND THERE'S AN RV REPAIR PLACE THERE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER, STEVE'S OR SOMETHING. I SAW THERE WERE A BUNCH OF
RV'S. >> YES, STEVE'S RV REPAIR I THINK IT'S CALLED.
>> MR. CHAWR, I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. >> YES.
>> WHAT SORTS OF LYDE LIGHTING DO YOU PLAN TO HAVE THERE AND OTHER SECURITY?
>> WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A CODED GATE. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FENCE.
WE'RE NOT CERTAIN IF HEIGHT YET, 10 TO 12-FOOT FENCE. AND IT WILL BE WELL LIT.
I DON'T HAVE THE DETAILS OF LIGHTING BUT WE WANT TO MAKE AT A TRACTIVE TO THE PERSON KEEPING THEIR TO GET THERE THAT IT'S SECURE, IT'S SAFE. PEOPLE CAN'T SEE IN THERE, AND THAT IT'S ALWAYS LIT. AND I'M CIVIL ENGINEER. THAT'S PART OF THE TYPE OF WORK THAT I DO. SO WE'RE -- I DON'T HAVE A DIRECT ANSWER TO THAT, IT'S NOT GOING TO TURN INTO SOME DARK SKETCH PLACE Y PLACE AT NIGHTE THAT DOESN'T REALLY FIT THE BUSINESS MODEL AS TO PEOPLE WANTING TO BRING THEIR BORT RV TRAILER THERE.
>> BUT IF THERE'S A RESIDENCE THAT ABUTS OR BACKS UP TO YOUR PROPERTY HAVING 24-HOUR OR DURING THE NIGHT 12 HOURS OF LIT, LIGHTING OUT THERE WOULD NOT BE THAT PLEASANT TO PUT UP
WITH, I WOULDN'T THINK. >> . THESE JUST A CONCERN.
>> I DON'T DISAGREE. THE CURRENT ZONING WOULD ALLOW FOR 24-HOUR LIGHTING AS WELL, AND I KNOW THE PIECE OF PROPERTY TO THE NORTH OF MY PROPERTY IS LOOKING FOR HOTEL TYPE STUFF, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING PRETTY SEVERE AT SOME POINT AS WELL.
I DO AGREE. I MEAN, I CAN'T -- I DON'T HAVE A SOLID ARGUMENT TO THAT, AND I WOULDN'T WANT TO. IT'S SOMETHING WE COULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT IF A FORM OF HAPPY IN THE MIDDLE THERE, WHETHER IT BE A WALL OR THE WAY THAT THE LIGHT IS DIRECTED OR THE TWHAIT ALUMS SIT CERTAIN WAYS. BUT EVEN ABSENCE CG WE DON'T HAVE LIGHTING RESTRAINTS THAT
WOULD HOLD -- >> THAT IS A GOOD POINT. >> -- THAT WOULD HOLD US YOU
BACK. >> THAT'S A GOOD POINT YOU BRING UP.
>> MR. KELLY. >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. JUSTIN KELLY WITH GROWTH MANAGEMENT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE, THOSE BUILDINGS THAT ARE BEHIND HIM, THE SITE VISIT FROM WHAT WE HAVE LOOKED AT THAT THOSE ARE BUILDINGS THAT ARE USED FOR LIVESTOCK, HORSES, STUFF LIKE THAT. THERE'S NO RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS BACK THERE. IF YOU PAN BACK FURTHER NORTH OF THE SITE, THERE IS A RESIDENTIAL HOME THAT'S THERE. THAT'S THE HOME THAT IS THE MAIN USE STRUCTURE FOR THOSE THREE
BARN AREAS, IF YOU WANT TO CALL THEM THAT. >> THANK YOU.
>> SO IS THAT TO SAY TO THAT IT'S OKAY TO KEEP THE HORSES AND THE COWS UP AT NIGHT?
I'M JUST KIDDING. [LAUGHTER] >> JUST KIDDING.
SORRY. ANY OTHERES REQUEST OF THE APPLICANT?
>> MR. CHAIR. >> YES, MR. MILLER. >> THE CURRENT ZONING SAYS THERE'S CONDITIONS ON IT FROM CG. WHAT ARE THOSE CONDITIONS?
>> I DON'T WEARNL KNOW THAT I DT ANSWER. >> JUSTIN KELLY WITH GROWTH MANAGEMENT. THOSE CONDITIONS, THERE'S VARIOUS CONDITIONS THAT ARE THERE O. THERE. SOME OF THE USES LIMIT THE CONDITIONS ON THAT.
THERE ARE ALSO CONDITIONS ON THERE AS FAR AS HOW THE STRUCTURES THAT WOULD BE BUILT WHEN THAT ZONING AREA WOULD BE BUILT AS FAR AS INFRASTRUCTURE, STUFF LIKE THAT.
THIS ORDINANCE WAS FROM 1987, SO THERE ARE -- SO WE HAVE UPDATED IT, SO IF HE REZONES THE PROPERTY, ALL THOSE CONDITIONS WOULD HAVE TO MEET OUR CURRENT UP-TO-DATE CODES FOR HIM TO DEVELOP THAT PROPERTY. THIS IS OUTDATED. SO SOME OF THOSE CONDITIONS THAT ARE THERE IN DON'T REALLY STAND UP ON YOU ARE-TO-OUR CONDITIONS WE WOULD APPROVE TODAY AS FAR AS
THE STANDARD. >> SO BASICALLY THE UPDATED ZONING WOULD BE MORE STRINGENT
THAN THE THAT THE CODE REQUIRED FOR GLEAFN. >> CORRECT.
>> SO THERE'S NO NEED TO PUT ANY CONDITIONS ON THIS. >> CORRECT.
THE RV ALLOWS BOAT STORAGE BY RIGHT SO HE DOES NOT HAVE THE HAVE TO HAVE THE SPECIAL PROISKEDZ FOR RV AND BOAT STORAGE. IF HE WAS DOING SOME OTHER STORAGE SUCH AS COMMERCIAL GENERAL ZONING, YOU COULD DO RV AND BOAT STORAGES BUT IT'S SPECIAL USE OH THOSE WOULD HAVE TO APPLY. IN THIS CASE SINCE HE CAN'T DOING THAT THAT DOESN'T APPLY. IT INCLUDES ON-SITE STAFF. A BUILDING THERE, CERTAIN
[00:40:04]
CONDITIONS FOR HOURS OF OPERATION OF, SHUTTING DOWN AT 10:00 P.M. AND STUFF LIKE THAT.SO THOSE ARE THE CONDITIONS THAT YOU WERE LOOKING AT IF HE WAS REZONING SOMETHING THAT REQUIRED THOSE CONDITIONS TO BE MET, BUT IN THIS CASE HE'S GOING TO CI WHICH ALLOWS RV AND BOAT STORAGE BY RIGHT AND HE NOT HAVE TO USE THOSE SPECIAL USE PROVISIONS OF THE.
>> OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I KNOW WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER CARD,
SO -- >> WE DO. MR. JOE MELVILLE.
CAN YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. YOU'LL BE GIVEN THREE MINUTES.
>> I PROBABLY WILL BE DONE IN 30 SECONDS. MY NAME IS JOE MELVILLE.
I OWN PREMIER BOAT AND RV STORAGE RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM THE PROPOSED FACILITY TO GO IN ON AGRICULTURAL CENTER DRIVE. AS HE HAD MENTIONED, I'VE GOT -- IT'S QUITE A LARGE FACILITY.
I'M ABOUT 10 ACRES. BUT WE'RE FAR ENOUGH INTO AGRICULTURAL CENTER DRIVE THAT WE -- WHAT WE DO CURRENTLY WITH THE VEHICLES THAT ARE COMING IN AND OUT, THERE'S REALLY NO EFFECT ON THEFLOW OF TRAFFIC ON AGRICULTURE CENTER DRIVE. PUTTING, IN MY OPINION, PUTTING ANOTHER STORAGE FACILITY ON THAT CORNER, AND GIVEN THE CONGESTION THAT WE JUST SEEN WITH THE RESURFACING OF THE ROAD, WHICH HAS JUST BEEN REDONE. THEY FINISHED IT I THINK YESTERDAY. MY POINT BEING WHEN YOU START PULLING MORE BOATS AND RVS OFF THE INTERSECTION OR PASS THE INTERSECTION OF 208 AND AGRICULTURE CENTER DRIVE, THE CONGESTION THERE IS GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE. MOST OF THESE VEHICLES FROM THE RVS TO THE TRAVEL TRAILERS WHICH ARE PULLED GENERALLY BY A PICKUP TRUCK, YOU'VE GOT VEHICLES THAT WILL BE ROLLING IN 50 PLUS FEET LONG. THAT'S GOING TO CREATE A LOT OF -- A LOT OF TRAFFIC. OF COURSE, WITH ALL THE BUSINESSS THAT ARE THERE NOW, WE HAVE AN EVERY OVERABUNDANCE OF LARGE VEHICLES, NOT TO MENTION THE STUFF THAT I HAVE THERE WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING IN WITH THEIR VEHICLES. IT'S JUST TOO MUCH FOR AGRICULTURE CENTER DRIVE. IT'S A TWO-LANE ROAD COMING ONTO COUNTY ROAD 2 RO 8 THEY HAVE YOU HAVE A 500 STRETCHED HAVE OF ROAD THAT GOES DOWN TO STATE ROUTE 16.
THE CONGESTION WILL BE UNFLEEIVEL. I THINK THAT YOU GUYS WILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEFT WHERE YOU'RE GOING THERE. THEFT IS A BIG DEAL.
WE JUST HAD SEVERAL FACILITIES WHICH WERE ROBBED IN THE COUNTY. SO SECURITY IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE. LOT OF BIG STUFF, BUT I FATHER-IN-LAW HAVE SPENT WELL OVER $200,000 JUST ON SECURITY FOR THE FACILITY. SO IT IS A BIG DEAL.
IF YOU START TO ATTRACT THE OF THESE THAT WILL AM COULD, AND TRUST ME THEY WILL COME, AND THEY'RE GOING TO COME DOWN TO MY END OF THE STREET AS WELL. NOW, I'M PREPARED FOR THEM, BUT YOU CAN'T STOP A THIEF. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT. AND SO THOSE ARE MY OBJECTIONS.
I THINK IT'S A BAD IDEA. NOT SO MUCH FROM A COMPETITION STANDPOINT AS FROM A TRAFFIC STANDPOINT. WE HAVE THE NEW SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AT THE END OF THE ROAD NOW. I UNDERSTAND THERE'S GOING TO BE A TRAFFIC CIRCLE QUOMG IN SWINE COUPLE MORE HOTELS ON THAT CORNER. IT'S JUST TOO MUCH TRAFFIC, FELLOWS. IT'S TOO MUCH. IT'S ONE THING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH A CAR, WHICH IS ON AVERAGE 18 TO 20 FEET, BUT WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH VEHICLES THAT ARE 50 FEET LONG DRIVEN BY NOVICE, TO BOOT, MOST, UNFORTUNATELY MOST OF US ARE NOVICE WHEN IT COMES TIME TO PULL THAT BOAT OR THAT TRAVEL TRAILER OR DRIVE THAT 50-FOOT RIG.
IT'S JUST TOO MUCH AND IT'S TOO CLOSE TO THAT INTERSECTION. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, SIR. ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS ON GTV?
>> NO PUBLIC COMMENT. >> ALL RIGHT. WE'RE BACK INTO THE AGENCY FOR A
MOTION. >> I'LL WAIT. MAKE THE MOTION FIRST.
>> SO WE'RE BACK IN THE AGENCY FOR A MOTION. >> MR. CHAIRMAN.
>> YES, MR. MILLER. >> I'LL MAKE A MOTION. MOTION TO AVENUE PRO OR MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF REZONING 2021-01 AG CENTER BOAT AND RV BASED ON THE FOUR
FINDINGS OF FACT AS PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT. >> THANK YOU.
IS THERE A SECONDLY? OKAY. I'VE GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND.
DR. HILSENBECK. >> I DO AGREE THE TRAFFIC THERE AT 208 AND AG CENTER DRIVE AND THEN STATE ROAD 16 RIGHT THERE IS HORRENDOUS. THAT IS SOME REALLY BAD TRAFFIC.
A LOT OF CONGESTION RIGHT THERE. THERE WAS A LARGE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING TO GO IN.
CENTER POINT OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED. I CAN'T RECALL THE NAME.
I DID VOTE AGAINST THAT, PLIERL BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC CONCERNS AND OTHER REASONS THAT I STATED AT THE TIME. SO THE TRAFFIC IS, I AGREE, A MAJOR CONCERN, BUT IT'S NOT
[00:45:03]
ENOUGH, SALAD, SADLY, FOR ME AGAINST THIS ONE. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE, LET'S CALL THEELL VOTE. MR. MILLER.
