[10. Consider appointments to the West Augustine Nuisance Abatement Board. The Board of County Commissioners authorized the creation of the West Augustine Nuisance Abatement Board (WANAB) in 2011, to hear and deliberate unabated public nuisances within the West Augustine area. This board heard and addressed several unabated nuisances following its creation but became inactive by 2016 and all members' terms expired by mid-2016. This item is to re-instate the board and its activity by appointing new members. Per Ordinance 2014-29, the WANAB consists of five members and two alternates. All seven positions were advertised during the month of December 2021. Seven applications in total have been received. Please find for your review and consideration, a recommendation letter from the West Augustine CRA Steering Committee and the seven applications: Philip Brown (Dist. 3), Charles Ellis (Dist. 3), Dr. Margaret Rickerson (Dist. 3), Annie Mae Tucker (Dist 5), Gwen Nichols (Dist. 3), Doretha Smith (Dist. 3) and James Allen, Jr. (Dist. 3).

>> FOR ME I HAD A MEETING ON JAH AT 3:30 WITH MISS ACEVEDO, JUSTIN DUDLEY. MAX GARCIA AND STAFF.

WE DISCUSSED MANY OF THE SAME POINTS INGRESS, EGRESS.

THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND THE PROPERTY THEY WILL KEEP IN THE CONSERVATION. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

BEFORE WE START I WANT TO GIVE YOU A HEADS UP WHEN THE COMMISSIONER DEAN COMES BACK WE'LL HAVE TO LET HIM DISCLOSE HIS EXPARTIY U THE -- EX PARTE.

>> AND SHANNON ACEVEDO WITH MATTHEWS DESIGN GROUP FOR THE RECORD. TODAY, I HAVE WITH ME JUSTIN DUDLEY OF PULTE AND CHRIS BUTTERMORE AND ENGINEERING WITH MATTHEWS DESIGN AND OUR TRAFFIC CONSULTANT.

>> JUST BEING A LITTLE, WE HAVE ENOUGH TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

THIS MORNING. >> THANK YOU.

SO, JUST I'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF I KNOW MOST OF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE. BUT I DID WANT TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF PROJECT BACKGROUND AND HISTORY HERE BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT THE PROPERTY THAT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 207, ALONGSIDE ALLEN NEASE ROAD FROM MOUNT BOULEVARD.

WE'LL JUST MAKE EYE CONTACT SINCE IT MAY BE THE BATTERY IS LOW HERE. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A ROTOR THAT'S IN THE LAND USE DESIGNATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT BUND OR BOUNDARY NEXT TO MIXED USE TO THE EAST.

, WE ARE IN CURRENTLY IN THE OPEN RURAL ZONING DISTRICT YOU CAN SEE IT TO THE SOUTH THERE AS WELL AND MIXED USE TO THE EAST. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS WINDING OAKS, THIS IS THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT THE LAST TIME THE BOARD SAW THIS IN HEARING WAS FOR LAND USE AND WHAT THE DIFFERENCES ARE. WE'RE LOOKING AT 279 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON 217 GROSS ACRES.

AND THIS PROJECT PROPOSES SIGNIFICANT PRESERVATION OF ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS ON THE SITE.

RECREATIONAL CONNECTION TO TRAILS, PRESERVATION OF PARK AREA THAT WILL BE ACCESSIBLE BY THE PUBLIC.

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE NEW SINCE YOU HAVE SEEN IT IS CONSTRUCTION OF A RECLAIMED WATER TRANSMISSION MAIN THAT IS PART OF THE GOAL TO PROVIDE THE SUSTAINABLE WATER AND MONETARY DONATION OF $750,000 TO HELP FUND THE FIRE AND SHERIFF FACILITIES. AND PART OF THE MOTIVATION OF THE DONATION IS IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FUTURE RESIDENTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT WINDING OAKS CAN HAVE A HIGHER ISO RATING THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS ON THEIR INSURANCE AND IN FACT OF OUR PRELIMINARY RESEARCH WE FIND IT IS $400 OF SAVINGS PER YEAR TO, I WOULD IMAGINE IT IS SIMILAR FOR OTHER RESIDENTS OUTSIDE OF THE 5-MILE FIRE RADIUS. AND THE IDEA HERE IS JUST TO CLOSE THE GAP ON THE TIMING. WE SECTIONS THERE IS FUNDING FOR ENGINEERING OF THE FIRE SHERIFF COMBINATION THAT IS PLANNED NOW. AND WE HOPE IT WILL SPEARHEED TO SHORTEN THE TIMEFRAME OF CONSTRUCTION AND IF YOU WANT WE'LL TAKE A MOMENT AND JUST TO LET YOU.

>> THIS IS A GOOD STOPPING POINT.

MR. CHAIRMAN WE DID OUR EX PARTE CLOSURES, I WAS GOING TO ADD IT ON ITEM 1. ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 27TH, AT

[00:50:03]

2:30, I MET WITH SHANNON, I STRUGGLE WITH IT, ACEVEDO.

>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> AND JUSTIN DUDLEY AND MAX GARCIA TO DISCUSS ALL OF THE ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT, PARTICULARLY TRACK AND SOME WETLANDS SCHEDULE.

>> THANK YOU. >> WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

TO GIVE A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PROJECT.

THE WINDING OAKS AS A DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL, ALTHOUGH UNDER DIFFERENT WAS BROUGHT BEFORE ST. JOHNS IN 2016 AND I BELIEVE WAS, WENT MADE IT TO THE BOARD HEARING IN 2018.

AT THE TIME IT WAS DENIED. THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT DEVELOPMENT TRENDS STILL ENTITLEMENTS ON THE BOOKS FOR STATE ROAD 207 CORRIDOR WE'RE FINISHING OUT AND AT TH AT THE TIME THERE WAS A QUESTION OF THE WHERE THE FIRE STATION WOULD BE. THE PROPOSAL WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT AND SOME DEBATE OVER IF THAT WAS THE BEST LOCATION.

COMING BACK WE ROPED A LAND USE AMENDMENT TO WITH A TEXT AMENDMENT THAT LIMITS IT TO UNITS.

SOME OF THE CONVERSATION DURING THE BOARD HEARING WAS THAT PERHAPS THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH STRAIN AS FAR AS DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA AND THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT FUNDING FOR THE FIRE STATION WHICH BROUGHT US TO THE NEW SOLUTION OF HAVING RATHER THAN A LOCATION SINCE THE COUNTY IS LOOKING AT USING THE DEVELOPMENT AREA AS A FUTE SITING AND THAT IT WOULD BE MORE BENEFICIAL FOR MAKING THAT HAPPEN FASTER. SO WE COME BEFORE YOU TODAY FOR A PUD SUBMITTAL. WE LISTENED TO THE CONCERNS FROM THE BOARD AND ALSO FROM SOME OF THE FEED BACK WE HAVE GOTTEN FROM THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.

WE WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE TO YOU TODAY IS MUCH SCALED DOWN VERSION FROM THAT INITIAL 360 UNITS AND IN FACT WE WOULD BE REDUCING TO 279 UNITS STAYING WITHIN THE LAND USE DESIGNATION THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE IN TERMS OF SCALE FOR THE AREA. WE ARE LOOKING AT RENEWING THE ACCESS FROM VERMONT BOWLED. THAT WAS A CONCERN OF THE COMMUNITY. AS I MENTIONED BECAUSE OF THE DIRECTION AND THE FIRE STATION PLACEMENT A DONATION THAT WILL BRING THAT TO FRUITION QUICKER THAT WILL HELP SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THIS PROJECT AND THEN AS WELL AS FOR THOSE WHO HAD THE -- WERE PART OF THE BOARD FROM THE PREVIOUS LAND USE DESIGNATION YOU REMEMBERED LOTS THAT CAME ALONG AND THE FINGER WE HAVE REMOVED THOSE. AND WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT THE DENSITY BONUSS PRESERVATION AND OVER 100 ACRES ARE TO BE PROPOSED. AS WELL AS UP LANDS AND THEY ARE BEING PUT INTO CONSERVATION 17.34 UP LANDS ADJACENT TO WETLANDS THE MAIN ACCESS OFF 207.

AND TO SOLVE THE SECONDARY ACCESS.

WE REALIZE THAT THE COMMUNITY OF VERMONT HEIGHTS WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SECONDARY TRAFFIC IMPACTS OF VERMONT BOULEVARD SO WE HAVE REMOVED THAT AS A REGULAR ACCESS AND HOWEVER WE'RE BUILDING A TURN AROUND AND A GATE SO THAT THERE WILL BE EMERGENCY ACCESS FOR THE COUNTY.

YOU CAN SEE WHAT THAT WILL BE LIKE AND A SECONDARY AND THE COUNTY'S ENVIRONMENTS. LOOKING AT THE LOW IMPACT OF THIS. THIS IS A GREAT EXHIBIT THAT DEMONSTRATES THIS AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE THOSE ARE WETLANDS AND THE ONLY IMPACT AND A SECTION.

AND BRING IT OVER AND REMAIN ON 207 AND VERMONT BOULEVARD AND A COUPLE OF ISOLATED POCKETS WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT.

[00:55:09]

, WE'RE LOOKING AT A CONNECTION WITH A RAILS TO TRAILS THE BENEFIT OF THE RESIDENTS OF WINDING OAKS AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC WHO MAY BE TRAVELING ALONG THE RAILS TO TRAILS AND WITH THIS CONNECTION THAT'S PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE TO FOUR ACRES OF THE AREA IN THE CENTER LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY.

HERE YOU CAN SEE HOW THAT IS SPLIT OUT BETTER.

VERY CENTRALLY LOCATED AND BE A NICE FLOW AND NICE CENTRAL NATIONAL AMENITY TO THE PROJECT AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE

THAT TRAIL SYSTEM CONNECTED. >> OVER 7 ACRES.

ONE THING I WANTED TO MENTION THAT HAS TRANSPIRED SINCE THE LAST HEARING WITH WINDING OAKS THE DIRECTION OF THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT FOR FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE.

WE ARE LOOKING AT INCORPORATING A 16-INCH REUSED TRANSMISSION MAIN IN THE AREA IN PURPOSE THAT YOU SEE ON THE MAP.

THIS IS TO FURTHER THE ST. JOHN'S COUNTY ACTIVITY DISTRICT'S REGIONAL GOALS TO SUPPLY BOTH RECLAIMED WATER AND THE OTHER THING THAT'S GOING TO BE POTENTIAL IN THE AREA IS A FORCE MAIN TRANSMISSION LINE FOR THE SAME KIND OF SUBREGIONAL GOAL OF THE UTILITY DISTRICT.

AND HERE YOU CAN SEE I WANTED TO SHOW THIS AND WHERE THE ROAD AS SOON AS AREA TO FIRE SERVICES IS TODAY.

AND THEY WILL NOT BE SERVICED BUT HAVING THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND FREE UP THE CAPACITY OF THE COUNTY AND MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN RESPOND. $750,000 DONATION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THESE AND I JUST DID WANT TO CLARIFY, THIS IS NOT SEEKING IMPACT FEE CREDITS DUT IT IS A DONATION AND TO THE FIRST PLATTED LOT IT WOULD BE A BENEFIT TO THE COUNTY RIGHT AWAY. YOU CAN SEE THE RADIUS IN PERSPECTIVE. IF YOU CLICK ONCE MORE THAT JUST SHOWS YOU THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE INTEREST OF THE RESIDENTS THAT BENEFIT FROM IT.

>>> MOVING ON TO TRAFFIC ANALYSIS.

WE ARE LOOKING AT ACTUALLY ONLY TWO ADVERSE ROAD LINKS THAT ARE HERE. YOU WILL SEE THE RED, THERE IT IS. IF YOU CAN GO BACK TWO SEGMENTS. THEY EXIST TODAY.

SO THE ANTICIPATED MITIGATION AND IMPACT FEES WOULD FUND FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS AND OF THE AREAS WITHIN THIS STATE ROAD 207 CORRIDOR IN THE AREAS OF ST. JOHNS COUNTY.

NOW GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WILL BE SPENT ON. IT SOMETHING I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE 312 EXTENSION IS ALREADY FUNDED AND AS I UNDERSTAND WILL START CONSTRUCTION OF THE FIRST MILE IN THE SUMMER.

THIS SUMMER OF 2022. JUST LOOKING AT SOME OF THE AREAS WHERE FUNDS COULD BE SPENT FOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS AND STATE ROAD OR PERHAPS IMPROVEMENTS TO THE I-95 STATE ROAD 207 INTERCHANGE.

IN TERMS OF SCHOOL CAPACITY WE HAVE BEEN IN CORRESPONDENCE WITH ST. JOHNS. I'M WAIT FOG AR UPDATED LETTER AS OF OUR LAST CORRESPONDENCE THERE IS CAPACITY IN THE PROJECT AND GENERATION APPROXIMATELY 70 STUDENTS BASED ON THEIR GENERATION CALCULATIONS.

IN SUMMARY WE BELIEVE THE PUD IS COMBATABLE WITH THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. AS I MENTIONED BEFORE NONE OF THE ROADS ARE CREATING ADVERSE IMPACTS.

NO NEW SEGMENTS ARE ADVERSARY IMPACTED.

AND THERE IS CAPACITY. EVERYTHING IS IN LINE WITH THE RESIDENTIAL LAND USE DESIGNATION AND THERE ARE PUBLIC BENEFITS LIKE THE 750750,000 CONTRIBUTION AND THE CONNECTION OF THE RAILS TO TRAILS AND IT IS IMPROVEMENTS.

I WANTED TO GIVE MR. DUDLEY A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING

[01:00:07]

REGARDING THE PROJECT. , THANK YOU.

JUSTIN DUDLEY. AND THE APPLICANT I WILL KEEP MY COMMENTS LIMITED BUT FOLLOW UP ON A FEW POINTS I GOT LOST OVER THE GROWTH IN THE COUNTY. I WAS STIRRED FOLLOWING LAST TUESDAY'S WORKSHOP ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSIONERS THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE FOUND ST. JOHNS A DESIRABLE PLACE TO LIVE.

THAT'S BASED ON THE REF GOOD DECISIONS AND DISCERNMENT OF THE BOARD AND THE FORMER BOARDS ALONG WITH THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT TEAM. AS A NATIVE AND LOCAL, I VALUE THE EQUITY THAT YOU ARE BRINGING TO MY PROPERTY AND FOR THE NEWCOMERS, THEY HAVE COMPLIMENTED YOU WITH DECIDING ACROSS THE U.S. AND FLORIDA WITH MAKING ST. JOHNS THEIR HOME. THE GOAL IS CONSTRUCT COMMUNITIES I WOULD HAVE PROUD TO HAVE MY FAMILY RAISE A FAMILY IN AND THE CONSULT JANETS, PROFESSIONALS WE HIRE HAVE BEEN AND WILL BE LOCATIONS WIT INTEREST IN HOW THEY DEVELOP IN THE FUTURE. THE PROJECT IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STATEMENTS T IS EVIDENCE HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS.

AS YOU SAW, THE TIME LINE SPANNING SIX YEARS THIS HAS BEEN TOEDFIED THE GOALS POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PLAN. FIRE SERVICES WERE A CONCERN AND NOT YET A VIABLE FUTURE SOLUTION FOR A FIRE STATION.

SINCE 2019 THE CHIEF HAS BEEN WORKING WITH EMERGENCY SERVICE CONSULTANTS INTERNATIONAL TO ASSESS THE NEEDS FOR THE AREA AND NOTED THIS AREA HAS A NECESSITY MOVING INTO THE 2019-2020 BUDGETS. AND WE SPOKE WITH RESIDENTS AND SAID THEY WERE PLANNING TO ADD A STATION IN FIVE YEARS.

THAT WAS THREE YEARS AGO. NOW, WE SEE THE RFPS TO MOVE THIS FORWARD WE'RE COMING ALONGSIDE YOU WITH FUNDING THAT IS FOUR TIMES THE IMPACT FEE. IN ADDITION TO THE IMPACT FEE.

AND THE COMP PLAN SOUGHT WAS TO MAXIMIZE THE VALUE OF THE LAND BUT THE BOARD PUSHED BACK OVER CONCERNS AND TRAFFIC SUCH THAT THE PROJECT PROPOSED TODAY HAS 30% LESS DENSITY THAN PRESENTED. NOW THE PROJECT HAS BEEN SIZE THAT WE DO NOT CREATE ONE IMPACTED ROADWAY SEGMENT BUT WE GENERATE MORE THAN $2.6 MILLION IN FEES.

AND FURTHER, WE WORKED WITH STAFF TO REMOVE ANY COMMUTER CONNECTION BASED ON THE FEED BACK FROM HEARINGS.

THIS IS HOW THE SYSTEM IS TO WORK.

ENVIRONMENTALLY WE'RE PRESERVING 15% OF THE UP LANDS. 98.3% OF THE WETLANDS AND THE EXTERIOR AND THE TWO TIMES THE OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS.

DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN CONCENTRATED TO THE AREAS OF THE WETTER SOILS AND FINE SANDS.

NO BIRDS, EAGLES ARE ANTICIPATE -- ANTICIPATED TO BE AFFECTED AND. OPEN SPACE IS NOW 58% OF THE SITE. GOOD GROWTH COMPLEMENTS GOOD GROWTH. THE NEAREST ADVERSE LINKS ARE FOUR MILES FROM THE PROJECT. I'LL JUST SHOW YOU AN EXHIBIT HERE REGARDING THE RASK. AS,FROM THE EXHIBIT THE COUNTY THE EXTEND OF 312 AND THE BOULEVARD SHOULD ELIMINATE THE SEGMENT OF CONGESTION THAT IS LIKELY CAUSING BACK ROAD CON QUESTION AND ROUTES. AND MORE SIGNIFICANT IS THE CENTER GOING ON 207 AND THIS WIS PUT THE TRAFFIC FROM OF THE EXISTING 2100 RESIDENTS AND TO REMAIN WEST WHERE THE LINK AND THE GROCERY. AND BEYOND THE LINKS AND AWAY FROM THE PROJECT AND THE RES DENTS.

AND RESIDENTS TRAVEL SIX AND A HALF MILES THROUGH THE LINKS AND A PROPERTY AT I-95 AND HEALTH SERVICES WITHIN 1.9 MILES OF THIS TO SERVICE US AS WELL AS THE EXISTING RESIDENTS. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS MORNING I WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS CONCERNS FROM THE PUBLIC COMMENT AS DO YOU SEE FIT.

[01:05:01]

THANK YOU AGAIN. , WE WILL OPEN IT UP ON NUMBER 1 THE WINDING OAKS PUD. IF YOU WISH TO MAKE EXTENT YOU

HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> PROVIDE YOUR NAME AND

ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. >> LARRY BASS SET, VERMONT BOWLED. CAN'T START THE CLOCK.

, HOW CAN WE THANK YOU? >> RIGHT AFTER THE COMMISSIONERS RESIGNED ON THE SECOND OF NOVEMBER, THE BOARD, THE PROPERTY APPRAISER CHANGED THE OWNERSHIP OF VERMONT BOULEVARD. THEY SHOWED IT WAS IN FRONT OF WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT IS GOING.

THAT'S ON THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER.

THIS IS THE 6TH OF NOVEMBER. THEY CHANGED IT AGAIN SHOWING IT AT ONE PORTION. THEN ON THE NINTH WHEN I WENT THERE THEY SAID THAT THE DEAD STATED THE CHANGE AND NOT ONE PORTION TO SAINT ST. JOHNS COUNTY.

HERE IS THE DEED HERE I WAS GIVEN.

AND IT'S NOT THE RIGHT DEED. HERE IS THE CORRECTED DEED RIGHT HERE. 319, 333 HE DID GIVE A STRIP OF LAND AND SAID THE NORTHWEST PROJECTION IS SHOWN IN VERMONT HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION. HERE IS THE WARRANTY DEED WHEN HE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY ON THE WEST SIDE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. IT WAS DEED 319-333 THIS IS 227, PAGE 94 I GOT THAT FROM THE COUNTY TO GIVE HIM ACCESS OFF A LAND FIELD THAT DEAD ENDED ON THE PROPERTY.

IT NEVER TOUCHED VERMONT BOULEVARD.

HERE IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE SUBDIVISION.

VERMONT BOULEVARD. AND HERE IS THE CLOSEUP OF IT.

THERE IS A RAILROAD THAT GOES INTO PROPERTY.

IT NEVER TOUCHED VERMONT BOWLED.

RIGHT THERE IS FROM THE MINUTES FROM ST. JOHNS COUNTY ON AUGUSTH , 1976 THANKING HIM FOR THE ROADS INTO TILLMAN RIDGE LAND.

HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH VERMONT BOULEVARD.

THE PROBLEM IS WHEN HE SOLD THE PROPERTY IN 1994, HERE IS THE DEEDS FROM IT. PAGE 227-94 WAS ELIMINATED OUT OF THE SAIL. IT WAS NOT IN THE SALE OF IT.

THERE IS NO DEED. VERMONT HEIGHTS HAS A RIGHT OF WAY SURROUNDING ALL AND EVERY ROAD AND ALL THE SURROUNDING OF VERMONT HEIGHTS IS ASSESSED TO VERMONT HEIGHTS RESIDENTS.

EVEN VERMONT BOULEVARD DEVELOPED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE TRACK. WE HAD VERMONT HEIGHTS TERMINAL

THERE. >> I WANT TO GIVE YOU EXTRA TIME I KNOW THAT IS THE THREE MINUTES NOW.

BE THAT'S THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED, THAT'S NOTED. ANYONE FOR ITEM NUMBER 1? , ED SLAVIN. WE VOTE THIS DUNE IT IS OPEN RURAL. STOP CONVERTING OPEN RURAL TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS AND LEAVE IT BE.

I WOULD POINT OUT THAT THIS COMPANY PULTE WAS FINED 13700 BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA LAST YEAR.

THEY WERE CONVICTED OF DESTROYING 22 GOPHER TORTOISE BURROWS. THEY ARE A LAW BREAKER.

AND WHAT YOU HEARD FROM THE REPRESENTATIVES HERE IS NOT WORTHY OF BELIEF. THIS IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE COMPANY. UNJUST STEWARD OF THE ENVIRONMENT. OUR STAFF USED TO COME UP TO THE PODIUMS AND MAKE PRESENTATIONS ABOUT DEVELOPER

[01:10:03]

PROPOSALS NOW YOU ONLY HEAR FROM THE DEVELOPERS SINCE WE GOT A NEW ADMINISTRATOR, WHY IS THAT? HILLSBOROUGH HAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION COMMISSION. THEY HAVE SINCE 1967.

WHEN WE CHANGED OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT AS COMMISSIONER BLOCKER SUGGESTED AFTER HE WE NEED AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS COMMISSIONER SECOND TO NONE USING HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AS A MODEL. THE STAFF NEEDS TO BE EMPOWERED TO TELL YOU WHAT THE E.P.A. SAYS ABOUT COMPANIES THAT WANT SPECIAL ZONING PRIVILEGES. STAFF NEEDS TO BE EMPOWERED TO TELL YOU WHAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRIMES SECTION OF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS FOUND. DID THE STAFF TELL YOU ABOUT CLEAN WATER VIOLATIONS. DID THE STAFF TELL YOU ABOUT THE BURROWS IN MARION COUNTY. THE STAFF IS DEVELOPER DRIVEN AND OTHER DIRECTED. ALL OF YOU BUT FOR THE Y NEW COMMISSIONER RECEIVED CONTRIBUTIONS FROM DEVELOPERS AND OPEN YOUR EYES. YOU HEARD FROM 67 WITNESSES LAST WEEK AT THE GROVE MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP.

THERE IS NOBODY THAT WANTS TO CONVERT ANY MORE OPEN RURAL INTO PUDS. I WOULD JUST REMIND YOU THAT CATHY BROWN LONG TIME HEAD OF THE COUNCIL ON AGING, FORMER MEMBER OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD, CATHY BROWN HAS A NAME FOR PUD A WAY OF GETTING AROUND ZONING.

THERE IS NO REASON TO APPROVE THE PROJECT.

WE HAVE ENOUGH HOMES NOW APPROVED IN ST. JOHNS COUNTY.

TO LAST INTO THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE OF ANYONE NOW INDEED.

WE DON'T NEED TO DO ANY MORE. FASTER THAN A SPEEDING DUMP TRUCK WHAT WE LOVE IS BEING DESTROYED.

I WAS CROSSING FROM GEORGIA INTO FLORIDA WITH THE LATE CHIEF JUDGE AND WIDENING 95 HE LOOKS OVER AT ME HE SAYS IF YOU HAD A SEWAGE PIPE DUMPING IN YOUR BACKYARD WOULD YOU MAKE IT BIGGER? NO.

VOTE NO ON THE PROPOSAL AND NO FROM NOW ON ON EVERY PROPOSAL TO CONVERT OPEN RURAL TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND VOTE NO AND SABE THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE TORTOISES THAT WERE KILL IN MARION COUNTY.

THANK YOU. >>> ANYONE ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. MR. FISHER? YES, SIR. , THANK YOU, WE IN FISHER

FLAGLER. >> WE HAVE TO STOP GETTING RID OF THE RURAL DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITIES IT IS HEADED WEST ON 207. SOONER OR LATER THE FARMS WILL BE GONE AND THEN WHAT WILL WE DO? , THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU.

>> ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT?

>> THANK YOU. >> HELLO.

>> NAME AND DRESS FOR THE RECORD.

>> I'M MELIS LA TURNER AT VERMONT BOWLED.

I EXPECT BUILDING A PUD IT WILL IMPACT VERMONT HEIGHTS AND THERE ARE SO MANY CONCERNS TO TALK ABOUT I ONLY HAVE THREE MINUTES. I AGREE GOPHER TORTOISE I'M ADJACENT TO THE PIECE OF PROPERTY, I HAVE THE LONGEST PORTION THAT WOULD BE AGAINST THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND EVERYTHING RUNS IN AND OUT OF MY YARD, INCLUDING THE TORTOISE, I HAVE LOTS OF THOSE HOLES THERE BUT OUR PUD AT VERMONT HEIGHTS WAS DEVELOPED IN THE 1920S.

IT HAS NARROW STREETS SOME ARE DIRT.

NO SIDEWALKS. OUR ROADS ARE USED AS A CUT THROUGH FOR TASK, SPEEDING TRAFFIC AND WHEN THE INTERSTATE BAKES UP WE HAVE LITTLE HOPE OF PEACE AND YET TO THIS, TO US THIS IS BIG. VERMONT HEIGHTS IS SMALL.

THEY WILL ADD ABOUT THREE MORE FAMILIES TO THE ROADS.

THE DEVELOPER SAID THERE ARE MANS FOR AN EMERGENCY EXIST BUT WHAT EXACTLY WILL CONSTITUTE AN EMERGENCY? HOW WILL THE COUNTY ENFORCE THAT TO KEEP THAT GATE CLOSED? WE MAINTAIN THAT ACCORDING TO THE DEED IN 1937, VERMONT HEIGHTS STREETS WERE ONLY DEDICATED ONLY NOT DEEDED.

RESIDENTS MAINTAIN THE STREETS OF VERMONT HEIGHTS AND ON THE PROPERTY APPRAISER WEB SITE AS YOU SAW FOR THE COUNTY, VERMONT HEIGHTS ARE ASSESSED THE LOT OWNERS AND 100% OWNED BY VERMONT HEIGHTS. AND THE BOULEVARD HAS BEEN USED WITH COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC T IS VERY NARROW ROAD.

AND THEY CONNECTED IT AND ALLEN NEASE SO TRAFFIC CAN CUT THROUGH. IT IS A NIGHTMARE ALREADY.

THE ACTIONS HAVE CAUSED A HAZARDOUS SITUATION ON THE ROAD. OUR RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN RUN OFF THE ROAD, EVEN WALKING TRYING TO GET TO THE BIKE TRAIL.

[01:15:03]

BIKING. IN MY CAR I HAVE BEEN RUN OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD TO BACK UP TO LET 18 WHEELERS ON TO THE STREET FULL OF TRASH.

WE'RE SUBJECT TO -- SUBJECT TO THE ROAD KNOWS.

ENGINES, SPEEDING CARS, WE CANNOT AFFORD TO ADD TO THE TRAFFIC WITH 300 MORE RESIDENTS.

NOT TO MENTION THE BEAUTIFUL AREA THAT IS THERE.

THE HAM MOCK THE AREA THE -- EVERYTHING THAT, YOU KNOW, IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE THE ORIGINAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.

OLD FLORIDA L LIFESTYLE IS BEING RUN OVER.

I WOULD HATE TO SEE IT AS ANOTHER PUD THAT MAINTAINS THAT OLD FLORIDA LOOK AND FEEL. IT IS HARD ENOUGH WITH THE TRAFFIC AT THIS POINT. WE DON'T WANT MORE SURROUNDING US. LIKE I SAID, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS ONE ACCESS POINT ON 207. WHEN WORSE COMES TO WORSE.

THE CARS AND FAMILIES AND HAVING TO DRIVE AROUND ARE STILL GOING TO END UP IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOWN THE DIRT ROADS AND STREETS WE CANNOT GET OUT.

>> TALK VERY MUCH. THAT'S THE THREE MINUTES.

IRK THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> ANYBODY ELSE FOR PUBLIC

COMMENT? >> YES, MA'AM.

>> BJ KALADI. I COULD BE WRONG ABOUT THIS.

THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN AT THE JANUARY 21 BCC GROWTH MANAGEMENT MEETING SOMEONE NOT MR. DUDLEY, SPOKE IN FAVOR OF TAX INCREASES AND HOW OUR GROWTH MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN WONDERFUL. HE DONATION, I BELIEVE.

SHOULD BE $1 MILLION. 750,000.

$1MILLION THEN WE CAN USE THAT TO FIX OUR ROADS THAT ARE HAVE POTHOLES NOT THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS NOT THE PUD BUT THE ROADS IN THE COUNTY. THERE ARE ROADS TAKEN CARE OF.

DON'T PUT THIS IN BEACH DEVELOPMENT.

THE ROADS ARE IMPORTANT AND THEY ARE TELLING YOU THE HOMEHOMEOWNERS AND RESIDENTS LISTEN TO US, THAT'S WHAT TWO AND A HALF HOURS WERE ABOUT.

LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE.

BRINGING IN THE DEEDS, DON'T HAVE TEN MINUTES TO TALK OR 15 MINUTES TO TALK AND HAVE TO WATCH THAT LITTLE CLICK, CLICK, CLICK FOR THREE MINUTE SO WE CAN SAY WHAT WE WANT TO SAY TO LET YOU KNOW HOW THE RESIDENTS ARE AFFECTED BY THE DEVELOPMENTS AND WHAT CAN AND CANNOT BE DONE.

SO, DENY THE REQUEST AND LISTEN TO THE RESIDENTS.

THANK YOU. , JULIA KELLY, VERMONT BOULEVARD, VERMONT HEIGHTS. AS A RESIDENT THERE I BELIEVE THE WINDING OAKS SUBDIVISION SHOULD BE DENIED.

WHEN VERMONT HEIGHTS WAS CREATED IN THE 191920S AS A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IT IS NOT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE T IS A THOROUGH FARE FOR THOSE ON 13 A AND COUNTY ROAD 214. WE CANNOT HANDLE THAT TRAFFIC NOW. AND BARELY CAN I LEAVE MY HOUSE WITHOUT WAITING FOR CARS TO PASS.

CARS AND SEMIS AND TRASH TRUCKS AND LOG TRUCKS.

WHEN I LEAVE FOR WORK IN THE MORNING TURNING NORTH TOWARD I-95 I MUST WAIT UP TO 10 MINUTES FOR VEHICLES TO GO SPEEDING PAST. THAT WILL BE THE VEHICLES COMING OUT OF THAT SUBDIVISION. AS IT IS ON THE GRASS AND THE MUD TO THE BIKE TRAIL BECAUSE OF WALKING ON THE ROAD IS HAZARDOUS. IF YOU ADD 550 CARS TO MOVE INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU WILL BE ADDING TO AN ALREADY UNSAFE TRAFFIC SITUATION RIGHT RIPE FOR ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES.

IF YOU DENY THE PETITION TO ALLOW 279 HOUSES AND 550 PERSONAL VEHICLES YOU WILLING TELLING THE RESIDENTS OF VERMONT HEIGHTS YOU CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE. DENY THE REQUEST OR THE 279 HOUSES AND 550 CARS IN THE WINDING OAKS SUBDIVISION.

>> THANK YOU. >>> ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE COMMENT? , YES, SIR.

NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

>> KEVIN KELLY 4709 VERMONT BOWLED, DENY THE SUBDIVISION FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. TRAFFIC ON VERMONT BOWLED AND SR 207 ALL TYPES OF VEHICLES. THE CONSTRUCTION SERVICE AND OTHER VEHICLES THAT IT TAKES TO BUILD WILL ADD TO THE NIGHTMARE OF TRAFFIC THAT EXISTS THERE. THE TRAFFIC CREATED BY THE 279 UNITS WOULD ADD TO AN ALREADY UNSAFE SITUATION IN THE AREA ON

[01:20:02]

BOTH SIDES OF SR 207. OUR QUALITYIVE LIFE HAS SUFFERED ENOUGH. OUR SAFETY SHOULD BE ST. JOHNS NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. I LIVED IN VERMONT HEIGHTS SINCE 2001. THE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC ON VERMONT BOUL BOULEVARD HAS CREATED AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT. ADDING THE TRAFFIC GENERATOR BY 300 IS A RECIPE FOR MORE ACCIDENTS WITH INJURIES OR WORSE. MY SISTER WAS KILLED AT AN INTERSECTION EXACTLY LIKE SR 207 AND VERMONT.

THE COMMISSIONERS TODAY YOU HAVE THE POWER TO PREVENT THE TRAGEDY BY DENYING THE PROJECT.

PLEASE DENY IT. AS THE OLDEST PLANNED SUBDIVISION IN ST. JOHNS COUNTY, ONOF THE VERMONT HEIGHTS ROADWAYS WERE DESIGNED FOR THE TYPES AND AMOUNTS OF TRAFFIC THAT WE SEE TODAY. I AM ASKING TO FURTHER DISCUSS AT THE STATE OF FLORIDA SAFETY OFFICE OF TALLAHASSEE.

I'M WAITING I SAID. PLEASE DENY THE WINDING O OAKS SUBDIVISION. THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS SPREAD THIN AND NOT ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE ISSUES IN A TIMELY MANNER.

DENY THE PROPOSED WINDING OAKS DEVELOPMENT.

THE RESIDENTS OF WILL RECEIVE NO BENEFIT FROM THE WINDING OAKS DEVELOPMENT JUST MORE UNNECESSARY TRAFFIC.

DENY THE DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS WHAT WAS DISCUSSED BY THE PUBLIC ON JANUARY 25TH AT YOUR GROWTH MANAGEMENT MEETING, SAVING OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. THIS IS VERMONT BOULEVARD RIGHT HERE. THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ANY TIME IN THE MORNING WHEN EVERYONE IS GOING TO WORK AND IN THE EVENING WHEN PEOPLE ARE COMING HOME T IS .4 OF A MILE LONG YOU SEE THAT COMING THE WRONG WAY THAT'S A DOUBLE YELLOW LINE AND LOOK AT THE SEMIS THERE TO THE LINE THERE.

PUT IT UP HERE AGAIN. THAT'S WHAT IT IS LIKE.

I LIVE THERE. THANK YOU.

>> WOULD YOU PROVIDE THAT PICTURE TO THE COUNTY

ATTORNEY. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> ANYBODY ELSE MAKING PUBLIC COMMENT.

FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? >> SEEING NONE WE'RE CLOSING

PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM. >> DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE ANY

COMMENTS? >> , I DO APPRECIATE THE CONCERNS OF THE NEIGHBORS THAT'S WHY WE HAVE BEEN HERE SO MANY TIMES. THE PICTURE THAT YOU SAW THERE WAS PRESENTED AS WHEN IT BACKED UP AN ALTERNATE ROUTE AND NOT0 DAILY OCCURRENCE. THE PROJECT BEING IT HAS AN ONLY RURAL CURRENT LAND USE IT IS ONE MILE FROM I-95 AND THE ENTRANCE TO THE PROJECT IS EAST.

AND EXISTING ON TO 207 THIS TASK WOULD BE EAST OF THEM AND NOT IMPEDING THEIR COMMUTE IN IN THE MORNING.

THE ADVANTAGE FOR THE PROJECT WILL BE THE UTILITY TRANSMISSION AND THE COUNTY TO ALLOW FOR THE RECLAIM AND THAT WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE TO GO UP VERMONT AND DOWN 207 AND ALL WOULD HAVE TO BE OPENED UP WITH CONSTRUCTION AND IN ORDER TO MEET THOSE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE UTILITY DEPARTMENT.

IN THE OPEN RURAL BECAUSE. THERE ARE OTHER USES SUMP AS ADULT FACILITIES, CHILD FACILITIES, CEMETERIES, MOBILE HOMES, THERE ARE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS THAT CAN BE DONE ON THE PROJECT. 700 L LINEAR FEET ALONG FOR THE ROUGHLY 100 ACRES THAT SIT ON THE PIECE THAT COULD ACCESS THROUGH TO ENGINEERING AND AVOID THE PROCESS OF THE REZONING BUT IN THE REZONING EFFORT WE ARE TAKING AND UTILIZING THIS PROPERTY WITHOUT UTILIZING VERMONT.

SO, IT IS MUST REGARDING THE GOPHER TORTOISES AND COUNTS WITH OTHER STAFF, I'M DISAPPOINTED IN THAT BUT IN MY 19 YEARS WITH THE COMPANY I DON'T BELIEVE I HAVE THAT RECORD AGAINST WE WE WILL NOT HOLD THE RECORDS AGAINST EACH OTHER. THE 2 AND MILLION DOLLARS TO IMPACT FEES WHEN THERE ARE NO ADVERSE MAY BE SELECTED TO BE UTILIZED FOR THE COUNTY FOR IMPROVEMENTS ON VERMONT IF NECESSARY. BUT THE TRAFFIC AROUND THE AREA CURRENTLY SAYS THAT VERMONT IS ONLY AT 17.7% CAPACITY.

[01:25:09]

THE SECTION FROM THE ENTRANCE TO THE INTERSTATE AT 60 AND 80% OF CAPACITY. SO WE'RE SEEKING A PROPERTY THAT IS ADJACENT AGAINST OTHER PROPERTIES THAT HAVE THE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USES.

>> I WILL ADD A COUPLE OF THINGS TO MR. DUDLEY' COMMENTS THERE. WE DID, AS PART OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT FROM ATLANTIC GEOLOGICAL, INCLUDE A GOPHER TORTOISE BURROW MAP. WE HAVE SECURED A RELOCATION PERMIT WITH FISH AND WILDLIFE. I WANTED THAT ON THE RECORD, I DIDN'T STRESS IS THAT THE CONTRIBUTION TO THE FIRE STATION IS A COMBINATION SITE SO IN TERMS OF SAFETY THAT IS A BENEFIT TO HAVE A LOCATION FOR BOTH OF THOSE SERVICES SO NEARBY. , BACK TO THE WORD ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS?

>> , WILL THE ROADS BE PRIVATE? THAT'S GOING TO DEFER TO THE BOARD BUT, MR. DUDLEY, HAVE YOU GIVEN ANY THOUGHT.

>> WE DON'T OBJECT TO PRIVATIZING IT.

>> YOU TALKED ABOUT THE USES AND HOW MANY CAN YOU BUILD

WITHOUT COMING. >> I WILL LET STAFF ONE PER

ACRE UNDER THE OPEN RURAL? >> GOOD MORNING.

AND THE SENIOR ASSISTANT ATTORNEY.

I SPOKE WITH GROWTH MANAGEMENT ON THAT QUESTION.

THEY WOULD SUBJECT OUT THE WETLANDS BEFORE CALCULATING THE DENSITY. INDICATING 103 ACRES OF WETLANDS THAT WOULD LEAVE 114 UNITS POSSIBLE.

>> OKAY. THEY ARE ZONING.

>> IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PREVIOUS HEARINGS WE HAVE BEEN A PART OF, TIMING WAS ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WAS A BIG ISSUE BECAUSE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING OFF ROAD AND OFF WILD WOOD DRIVE.

OTHER HOUSES BEING BUILD, APARTMENTS BEING BUILT, AND THE QUESTION MAY, DOES THAT PUT THE ROAD IMPACT TO ROADS LEADING TO

95 DEVENT? >> NO, SO, THE ONLY ADVERSE IMPACTS THE TWO I MENTIONED EARLIER ARE WITH OR WITHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT. WITH WINDING OAKS THERE ARE NO NEW ADVERSELY AFFECTED ROADS IN THE FOUR-MILE RADIUS.

>> THE TRIPS GENERATED FROM THOSE APPROVED SHOULD BE CALCULATED IN THE BACKGROUND NUMBERS USED.

>> I WANT TO CONFIRM THAT. >> OKAY.

>> GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING COMMISSIONERS.

AND PHONG NGUYEN DEVELOPMENT MANAGER FOR ST. JOHNS.

TO AGAINST THE QUESTION. AND ALL THE MENTIONED DEVELOPMENTS THAT YOU SAID AND THEY HAVE BEEN APPROVED AND AS PART OF THE TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS SPREAD SHE HAD T IS PART OF THE CALCULATION THAT WE DOCUMENT THAT IN TERMS OF FOR THE APPROVED TRIPS BUT NOT BUILT IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING THAT AND THEY BILL THAT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS WE BUILD THE DATA TO REALIZE THE IMPACT OF THOSE PROJECTS.

SO FOR THIS PROJECT ALL THE OTHER PROJECTS HAVE BEEN ALREADY ON THE BOOKS. THESE ARE NEW TRIPS.

>> THANK YOU, I WANT TO MAKE SURE.

THAT WAS A PART OF TIMING GET EVERYONE EAST OF 95 BUILDING AS A DISCUSSION WE HAD. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT RECLAIMED WATER PIPE, DO YOU KNOW IF YOU USE AS MUCH AS YOU PRODUCE?

[01:30:02]

>> I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT.

>> THE COUNTY WILL HAVE TO USE OR NO MORE OR WE HAVE TO REUSE

EVERYTHING. >> REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE

UTILITY ARE IN THE AUDIENCE. >> THAT WOULD BE NICE.

>> DIRECTIONALLY WE WERE AGREEING TO TAKE THEIR NECESSITY OF RECLAIMED WATER DISTRIBUTION TO SITE BASED ON THE NEW STATUTES THAT NO LONGER ALLOW THEM TO DISCHARGE INTO WETLANDS AND MAYBE THEY CAN CLARIFY FOR ME BUT WE'RE LOOKING TO USE THAT CAPACITY OR TO HELP WITH THE NEEDS OF THE

DEPARTMENT. >> THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS YES THEY WILL REUSE AND USE UP 100% OF THE WASTE THEY CREATE IN THE

SUBDIVISION. >> THAT WILL BE THAT WILL BE TRUE AND CORRECT GOING FORWARD.

>> THANK YOU; THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD, JEREMIAH?

>> I DON'T SEE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OR FIRE DEPARTMENT HERE. I WOULD LIKE TO ANSWER THEM ABOUT PLANNING. ANY FUTURE PLANS FOR THE FIRE STATION. LAW ENFORCEMENT.

OUT POSTS INDEPENDENT OF THE PROJECT?

>> THE ONE THAT YOU REFERENCE IS THE ONE THAT'S ACROSS THE STREET AT THE COURSE AND STAFF TO START WITH THAT.

THAT'S IN THE PROCESS. I DO NOSE THAT IN THE LONG-TERM PLANS THAT HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN. THERE IS A LOOK AND DO IT AND THE FUTURE BETWEEN THAT STATION AND PROPOSED STATION AND HASTINGS. ON THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

IT WILL BE A JOINT SUBSTATION LIKE THEY HAVE DONE AT STATION 5:11 THEY ARE WORKING THROUGH THE PLANS.

THERE IS THE STATION THERE AT THE COURSE AND A POTENTIAL STATION AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE BETWEEN THAT STATION AND

LASTINGS. >> DO WE HAVE A COST?

>> WE DON'T. >> AND APPROXIMATELY $8 MILLION AND STATION ESTIMATE COSTS HAVE GONE UP.

WE RECEIVED SOME PROPOSALS BACK FROM THE ARCHITECT THAT WAS NORTH OF $8 MILLION SO THE STAFF HAS GONE BACK AND CUT THINGS IN SQUARE FOOTAGE OUT OF THE FACILITY THAT DOES NOT MATCH THE FACILITY. MY GUESS TO TELL THE BOARD THE COSTS AND QUALIFIERS OF THE COSTS SOMEWHERE AROUND 190 TO 12 MILLION-DOLLAR RANGE. YOU GET OUT 10, 1 5 YEARS FROM

NOW, DOUBLE THE NUMBER. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. >> AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, STATIONS 5 AND 11 WERE COMBINED IN ON U.S.-1.

THEY WERE 23,000 SQUARE FEET AND THE SHERIFF OPERATION COMMAND POST AND THE COST OF THE PROJECT WAS $6.4 MILLIONS

IN 2019. >> I'M SURE THAT'S GONE UP

QUITE A BIT AT THIS POINT. >> I SUPPOSE SO BUT THE DONATION, IN ADDITION TO THE 1 $186,186,000 IN IMPACT FEES FOR FIRE, WHICH IS TOTAL TO ACCOUNTS FOR MORE THAN THE WEIGHTED PERCENTAGE VERSUS END USERS.

>> AND THAT DONATION NO STRINGS ATTACHED.

YOU ARE NOT LOOKING FOR CREDITS, NO CREDITS.

WE WANT TO PAY IT UP FRONT AT THE TIME OF PLATTING IN FULL TO

THE COUNTY. >> THANK YOU.

>> COMMISSIONER, ONE MORE QUESTION.

YOU HAVE MET WITH THE IS THAT A RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT ONLY OR.

>> A RIGHT IN AND A RIGHT OUT. IT WILL HAVE A LEFT OUT TOWARD I-95. THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD NOT CONTAIN IS A LEFT IN IF WERE YOU COMING FROM THE DIRECTION OF HASTINGS OUT IT WOULD SUGGEST THERE IS LITTLE TO NO TRAFFIC COMING FROM THAT DIRECTIONIVE IF SOMEONE WAS THEY WOULD HAVE TO PASS THAT COMMUNITY AND APPROACH TO CYPRESS LAKES, MAKE A U-TURN AM COME BACK.

>> AT VERMONT BOULEVARD OR CYPRESS.

>> CONTINUING TO THE INTERSTATE TOWARD THE NEARIST AT CYPRESS LAKES. IF YOU WANTED TO GO.

COME OUT. CANNOT MAKE A LEFT AND GO RIGHT. WHERE WILL YOU MAKE THE U-TURN, LEAVING THE NEIGHBORHOOD CAN YOU TAKE A LEAVED TOWARD 95.

>> THAT BACKS UP OR UNSAFE. I UNDERSTAND YOU SAY 87% CAPACITY THAT'S GREAT. HAVE YOU DRIVEN THE ROAD AT RUSH HOUR AND BACKED UP FOR 3, 4 LIGHT CHANGES?

[01:35:02]

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE. I DRIVE THAT EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 5, 5:30 IT IS PACKED. AND HASTINGS AREA, ALSO.

>> WE'RE USING THE SERVICE VOLUMES PROVIDED BY THE COUNTY FROM 2019. ANOTHER STUDY IS IN PROCESS NOW. WHETHER THOSE GO UP WITH GROWTH OR MORE WORK FROM HOME THAT IS SUBJECT TO SEE.

WE SEE EVIDENCE OF WORKING TRAFFIC NUMBERS WHEN YOU SEE ON THE EXHIBIT I SHOWED THAT WHEN YOU HAVE ON 207 TO THE LEFT OF HOMES AND THE 40% AND THEN THAT SECTION BETWEEN 312 AND HOMES IS BEING 110% OR 120%, WHATEVER THE NUMBER WAS.

CLEAR LIVE THE COUNTY USED THAT TO DETERMINE THE EXTENSION OF 312 AND FUNDING THE FIRST MILE TO SOLVE FOR THAT.

SO. THE DATA AND THE REALITY ARE TIE TYING OUT THERE. WE CAN ASSUME IT IS ACCURATE,

TOO. >> I NEVER AGREE WITH THE FACT THAT YOU ARE PUMPING MORE TRAFFIC IN.

AND GETTING TO THE RESTAURANTS AND THE HOSPITAL.

GETTING ANYTHING IS GOING TO BE THROUGH THAT.

>> WHICH IS WHY WE APPRECIATE THE BOARD'S DECISION ON GROWTH IMPROVEMENTS AND USES UP AT 95.

THE COMMERCIAL USES. THE PUBLIC IS THERE AND BRINGING -- THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO BRING THE SERVICES TO THE RESIDENTS RATHER THAN HAVING THEM TRAVEL 6, 7 MILES TO THEM CAN ACLEAVATE THE TRAFFIC RATHER THAN SPENDING MORE MONEY TO GROW THE SMALLER LINKS INTO THE GREATER WIDTHS.

BY REDUCING THE DISTANCES OF TRIPS.

WE'RE IMPROVING THE SITUATIONS BRINGING SERVICES CLOSER TO RESIDENTS. , THANK YOU, ANY OTHER COMMENTS

FROM THE BOARD? >> THANK YOU.

>> IT HAS BEEN STATED. NONE OF THE TRAFFIC WILL GO OUT ON TO VERMONT BOULEVARD IS THAT WHAT I UNDERSTAND?

>> THAT'S CORRECT. THE QUESTION OF CONTROLLING IT THERE WILL BE NO PAVED AISLE THERE.

AND A BREAK AWAY WITH A BREAK AWAY SIMILAR TO OTHERS USED IN THE EVENT OF EMERGENCY THAT REQUIRE AS VEHICLE TO BREAKTHROUGH A STRUCTURE AT THAT LOCATION.

IT WILL NOT BE OPEN AND PAVED SURFACE FOR ANY COMPUTER TRAFFIC AT THAT LOCATION. I'M 100%.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE BREAK AWAY GATE S THAT ONLY A FIRE

TRUCK CAN ACCESS THAT. >> OR AMBULANCE OR POLICE BUT, YES, THERE IS A SIMILAR ONE IN THE DISTRICT ON RACETRACK ROAD JUST NORTH OF THE COUNTY UTILITY DEPARTMENT NORTH AND THE ROAD TERMINATES. THIS VERY A PAVED DRIVE AISLE AND IT IS WHITE VINYL GATE WITH VERY LOW GRADE LOCK THAT A VEHICLE CAN PUSH THROUGH IN AN EMERGENCY.

>> THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP HAS BEEN NOTED BY OTHER COMMISSIONERS. YOU SAID THAT YOU ARE DOING MORE CONSERVATION THAN IS REQUIRED.

WHAT IS REQUIRED. ARE YOU DOING 98 PLUS PERCENT OF CO CONSERVATION AND ARE YOU DOING THE UP LANDS.

WHAT IS REQUIRED. YOU MENTIONED IT WAS OVER AND ABOVE WHAT YOU WERE REQUIRED TO DO.

>> OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENT FOR THE PROJECT IS 54.34 ACRES.

WE'RE OPEN SPACE TOTAL AT THE EXTERIOR HAS A 10% REQUIREMENT WHICH IS 1.17 ACRES AND WE'RE ACTUALLY PRESERVING 4.73.

WE'RE FOUR TIMES THE ACRES OF PRESERVATION REQUIRED IN THE AREA. THERE IS OTHER SPACES HOW THEY WILL BE COMBINED 7.93 THERE. WE'RE EXCEEDING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR OPEN SPACE AND PRESERVATION.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THAT AS WE HAD MENTIONED BEFORE T THE 17.34 AND UP LANDS IS SOMETHING THAT IS UNIQUE TO THE PROJECT. I DIDN'T SPEND ENOUGH TIME DEVELOPING THAT. IT IS SOMETHING THAT THE COMMENTS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT MOVING OPEN RURAL TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS HOW IT CAN SECURE FROM YOU PRESERVE IT AND DEVELOP TO THE OPTIMUM FOR THE UP LANDS

[01:40:04]

THAT YOU HAVE AVAILABLE. WE'RE ACTUALLY PUTTING UNDER CONSERVATION 17.34 ACRES OF UP LANDS.

THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE WETLANDS AND ALL THE RECREATION AREAS THAT ARE ON THE SITE THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE PLAN.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT.

AS SOMEBODY WHO IS -- I LIKE MR. COME UP I DON'T WANT TO CLASS OVER THE CONCERNS OF VERMONT BOULEVARD.

WE'RE ON THIS TOPIC EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NO CARS.

WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY. AND YOU BASE IT IS NOT OVER CAPACITY BUT IT HAS HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC DUE TO THE LANDFILL AT THE AREA. THE LOCATES WHERE THEY TRANSFER TO GEORGIA. SO, EXPERIENCE A HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC. I'M CONCERNED WHEN I HEAR TESTIMONY AND ARE THERE RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS AND.

>> WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE SAFE.

>> THERE IS NOT MUCH WE CAN DO.

AND FOR VERMONT OTHER THAN RESURFACING THAT.

WE DO NOT HAVE RIGHT OF WAY. AND THE CONCERN FOR THE RESIDENTS AND THE NOISES FOR TRUCK TRAFFIC VERY HEAVY AND IN THE EVENING AS WELL. AND.

>> THAT'S ALL I HAVE. >> AND COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS

IS THERE A MOTION? >> , I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A

MOTION. >> I MOVE TO NASDAQ 202207 PUD WINDING OAKS BASED ON FINDING OF FACTS.

>> MOTION, IS THERE A SECOND. I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO BY STAFF WE TAKE A VOICE VOTE UNTIL WE GET OUR COMPUTER ADJUSTMENT.

I WILL START ON THE LEFT. THIS IS A VOICE VOTE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE THE PUD.

I'LL START. BLOCKER?

>> NO. >> WALDRON?

>> NO. >> WHITEHURST?

>> YES. >> COMMISSIONER ARNOLD?

>> YES. >> I VOTE NO.

>>> I A MET WITH -- WHEN DID I MEET.

AND MET WITH KURTIS FARR. NOT SEEING THE DATE.

I MEAT MET WITH KURTIS. WE DISCUSSED THE PROJECT AND THE CONDITION OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

WE GOT TO A COMMERCIAL AND SO, I WANTED TO FIND OUT.

YES, SIR. I.

>> MET WITH KURTIS AT 3:30 P.M.

AND WE DISCUSSED THE PROJECT THE HISTORY WHAT IS ENTITLED

[01:45:01]

WHAT SEASON PROPOSING WORKFORCE HOUSING AND RECEIVED A PHONE CALL DISCUSSED THE TRIP COUNT AND HOW THAT MAY CHANGE WITH THE PROPOSED CHANGE IS APPROVED TODAY, THAT'S ALLATIVE.

>> COMMISSIONER ARNOLD, I MET WITH KURTIS, MEGAN AND ROBERT PORTER. ON MONDAY JANUARY 31 AT 9 A.M.

WE DISCUSSED THE RE ZONING TO ALLOW FOR THE WORKFORCE HOUSING AND THE REQUIRED BUFFERS, TRAFFIC IMPACT AND CHANGES TO

SIGNAGE. >> OKAY, NOW WE WILL TAKE UP ITEM 2 AND WE GET TO PUBLIC COMMENT 3 AND THEN WE'LL VOTE

INDIVIDUALLY ON THE ITEMS. >> GOOD MORNING.

>> GOOD MORNING. >> KURTIS HART.

JACKSONVILLE,. >>> AND THE THANK YOU FOR THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE

PROPERTY. >> THIS IS THE CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE MAP WHICH SHOWS ALL OF THE PROPERTY IT IS MIXED USE.

IT IS A PUD. WE'LL ASK TO MODIFY IT AND COMMERCIAL PUD. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN CALLS FOR 500,000 SQUARE FOOT OF GENERAL BUSINESS. WE CAN DEVELOP THIS AS IS TODAY AND THE REAR ALLOW FOR NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS.

THE PARCEL I WILL ASK TO TAKE OUT IS THIS PARCEL THAT WILL REMOVE THAT FROM THE PUD FROM THE PUD AND DO A WORKFORCE HOUSING PROJECT. SO, WE'RE ASKING TO REMOVE PHASE 2, THE PIECE YOU SAW EARLY OF 19.98 ACRES AND CREATE A WORKFORCE HOUSING THERE. WE'RE REDUCING THE OVERALL COMMERCIAL ALL ALLOWED FROM 500,000.

I ASKED FOR CONNECTIVITY AFTER MEETING I WILL CHANGE THAT REQUEST TO HAVE PEDESTRIAN AND INTERCONNECTTIVETY AND SUGGESTED AND WE HAVE AND THEY CAN EXIT BY THE NORTH THERE AND THEY WANT TO GET IT OUT THAT WAY.

WE WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THAT TO.

WE WILL PROVIDE THE PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICULAR INTERCONNECTTIVETY. THAT WOULD GIVE THEM, PRIMARILY USE THAT TO COME OUT AND GO WEST AND SO AND THE OTHER THEY USE THAT AND GO RIGHT THERE. IN ADDITION TO THIS.

WE HAVE TO -- IF WE REDUCE THE COMMERCIAL AND TURN INTO RESIDENTIAL WE HAVE TO INCREASE TO A 20-FOOT BUFFER THERE.

WE ASK TO REMOVE THE A RIGHT AT THE REMOVE THAT SIGN AND FROM THE ORIGINAL SIGN PLAN AND THE WORKFORCE HOUSING PROJECT WILL MEET THE SIGN REQUIREMENTS. AND AND THOUSAND SQUARE FEET.

THE HOUSING COMPONENT OF IT THE SECOND ITEM THAT YOU VOTE ON AND WE HAVE ACCESS ON SAN JUAN ROAD ANOTHER IS INTERCONNECTIVITY WITH THE SHOPPING CENTER.

AND A STUDY AND. THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT THERE.

[01:50:07]

AND 1.3 ACRES AND THAT WILL MEET ON THE LOCAL STATE AND FEDERAL GUIDELINES TO COMMIT AND MITIGATE FOR.

WE HAVE OPEN SPACE AND 2.86 ACRES OF MIXED USE DENSITY ALLOWS FOR 13 UNITS PER ACRE AND 19.9 ACRES AND 258 UNITS AT A MAXIMUM AMOUNT. WILDLIFE REPORTS THERE ARE 7 THAT WILL BE RELOCATED. THAT IS DIFFICULT TO DO THEY ARE RUNNING OUT OF SPACE. THERE IS A LAW WE'RE TRYING TO BE ABLE TO AND PUBLIC LAND. THE SITE IS SUITABLE.

AND THROUGH TRAFFIC WE HAVE APPLICATION FOR BOTH.

NOW, I DID WANT TO POINT OUT AND ADD TWO THINGS FROM THIS PRESENTATION ONE I WILL STEP HERE.

IT IS HARD TO SEE. WE HAVE THE 500,000 SQUARE FOOT OF COMMERCIAL SPACE IT WILL BE 18919 TRIPS PER DAY.

IF WE REMOVE THE 250,000 THAT WOULD GO TO 14120, IT WOULD GO TO 12,000 AND WE ADD BACK THE WORKFORCE HOUSING AND 17019 FOR A AT TOTAL DECREASE OF 25.37% SO WE CAN DEVELOP TODAY IF WE REMOVE THE 250,000 SQUARE FOOT OF COMMERCIAL AND ADD THE WORKFORCE HOUSING COMPONENT. WE WILL DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT WILL GO OUT ON 207.

AND THE ONE LAST ITEM. WE ARE, AND TO SATISFY FOR POLICE FIRE AND RESCUE, A $2000 DISCOUNT PRESENT THAT TO THOSE POLICE, FIRE AND RESCUE PRESENT IT PRIOR TO THE OPENING TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THEY WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A UNIT AND GET A DISCOUNT UNDER THE MARKET PRICE. AS YOU KNOW WORKFORCE HOUSING WE HAVE TO, WE HAVE TO PRICE THAT AT A MAXIMUM OF 240,040% OF THE UNITS SO. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING, I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. SORRY I COULD NOT REACH YOU BUT I TRIED AND WE TALKED. ANY QUESTIONS? , WE WILL TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT ON NUMBER 2.

ANYONE WISHING TO MAKE COMMENT.

>> AND >> 2 AND 3 AND WE WILL VOTE

SEPARATELY. >> THESE ARE COMPANION ITEMS.

>> WE ARE CLOSING PUBLIC COMMENT?

>> ANYTHING,. >> AND MR. HART CAN COME UP FOR

COMMENTS. >> THANK YOU FOR DOING SOMETHING FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING.

WE HAD THE WORKSHOPS THAT WAS A FOCUS OF THE RESIDENTS TRYING TO FOCUS ON THE HOUSING. I WANT TO GO TO TWO THINGS.

SPECIFICALLY THAT PROVIDING THE PEDESTRIAN VEHICULAR INTERCONNECTIVITY AND CAN YOU GO OVER THAT BRIEFLY ONE MORE

TIME HOW THAT WILL WORK? >> THE COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CENTER WILL HAVE A CONNECTION SO THAT THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT COME TO THE CENTER, SOMEONE LIVING BACK IN THE WORKFORCE HOUSING WANTS TO GO SHOPPING IN THE AREAS.

THEY CAN DRIVE RIGHT INTO THEIR HOME.

THEY ARE IF THEY WANT TO LEAVE AND COME OUT THROUGH THE COMMERCIAL CENTER AND TURN WEST AND AVOID COMING OUT ON TO REAL SAN JUAN AND WILD WOOD IT IS A SHORT CUT.

BUT THE INTERCONNECTIVITY T IS A GOOD PLANNING ITEM IT WORKS WHEN IT IS DONE. AND IT IS A GOOD THING TO DO.

>> AND IS THAT AN EFFORT TO CLUSTER SO YOU ARE SHOPPING

[01:55:01]

CLOSE TO WHERE YOU LIVE. SO YOU'RE NOT PUTTING AS MUCH TRAFFIC ON THE ROADS S THAT THE INTENT?

>> IT IS. IT IS A CAPTURE, INTERNAL

CAPTURE IS WHAT WE KNOW IT AS. >> QUICK, GOING BACK TO THIS.

THIS IS IMPORTANT. YOU MENTIONED THIS ON THE PHONE AND THE DISCOUNT. THAT IS FOR FIRST RESPONDERS AND FIREFIGHTERS. LAW ENFORCEMENT.

AND THAT'S WHAT YOU HEARD FROM THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT T IS DIFFICULT TO GET THE FIRST RESPONDERS TO ST. JOHNS, INFLATION, COST. AND IT IS DIFFICULT.

THAT IS DIFFICULT. WE'LL OFFER THAT TWO WEEKS EARLY SO THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET DEPOSITS

DOWN. >> WHAT WILL YOU LOOK FOR VERIFICATION AND I GUESS THE BADGE ALL OF THAT.

THAT'S A PROCESS TO VERIFY THEIR FIRST RESPONDERS.

>> THAT IS EASY TO DO. >> I APPRECIATE IT, SIR.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

AND THIS BEING WORKFORCE HOUSING EASES MY CONCERNS ON

THAT A BIT. >> A COUPLE OF THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FENCE THAT IS TAKEN OUT.

WE'LL DO THAT. >> AND HEADLINED OUT OF THE FENCE. THERE IS A FIVE ACRE PARCEL WE'RE DOING A 20-FOOT BUFFER AND FENCE.

WE'LL PUT THAT BACK IN. AND A FIVE ACRE OUT PARCEL.

>> THAT WAS THE AGREEMENT. >> THAT WAS NOT BY INTENT IF IT WAS. IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TAKEN

OUT. >> WILL YOU HAVE IMPACT FEES?

>> WE HAVE $1.775 MILLION OF IMPACT FEES AND SHARE FOR HOMES BOULEVARD. CLOSE TO $2 MILLION.

IS THAT STRAIGHT PURCHASE? >> OKAY.

THE VARIANCE FOR THE THEN THE STIPULATIONS THERE ARE TWO OF THEM. ONE FOR THE RV AND ONE FOR THE MINI STORAGE. THIS IS THE PROPERTY DESCRIPTION OF IT. AND THE FAMILY BOUGHT THE PROPERTY SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND REQUESTED ZONING CHANGE IS.

THEY HAVE THE 70% WE'RE ASKING FOR SUGGESTED BY STAFF THAT MAYBE INSTEAD OF COMMERCIAL OR WAREHOUSE WE DO OPEN RESIDENTIAL AND AS PREVIOUSLY STATED.

AND IT IS ABOUT HALFWAY BETWEEN 207 AND 206 OFF U.S.-1.

THE NEAREST CROSS ROAD IS WATSON THE TRAFFIC LIGHT.

THIS SHOWS THE LOT HERE AND THE COMMERCIAL AND OPEN RESIDENTIAL. COMMERCIAL GENERAL.

OPEN RESIDENTIAL AT ONE POINT THIS IS BEING REZONED THAT HAD EXPIRED. AND THIS IS THE LOT RIGHT HERE.

, THIS IS FROM THE CULTURAL SURVEY AND THE DIRT ROAD THAT YOU CAN SEE. THIS IS THE LAKE AS RECENTLY MODIFIED BY THE COUNTY IN ANTICIPATION OF OTHER WATER AND DRAINAGE WORK. THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN FROM THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OF U.S.-1.

THIS IS THE PROPERTY. CAN YOU SEE IT RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS THE DIRT ROAD. WE'RE WORKING WITH RYAN CARTER AND DOING AN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE WETLANDS AND THINGS HAVE CHANGED. AND BECAUSE OF THE AREA WORKED ON HERE BY THE COUNTY, THIS RED AREA HAS BEEN PERMITTED AND, PERMITTED AND MITIGATED BY THE COUNTY IN THE RED.

AND THE GREEN IS THE WETLANDS FOR IDENTIFYING AND WORKING TO MITIGATE SHOWING US-1. BELLA TERRA AND THE RETENTION POND. THIS IS 400 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE AND WITH 1000 AND MINI STORAGE SPACE WHEN TRANCE AND EXIT ON TO U.S.-1. YOU CAN NOT TELL THE HASH MARKS I DID THIS ON XCEL THEY ARE TO SCALE.

IT CAME UP HOW BIG IS THE LOT T IS ABOUT 420 ON THIS SIDE.

175 ON THAT SIDE. THIS IS THE MEETING WHERE THEY HAVE GIVEN US VERBAL ACCESS TO U.S.-1 THAT'S NOT US.

[02:05:03]

THAT'S IT. QUESTIONS.

>> I'LL DEFER TO THE SENIOR ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY ON

THIS. >> TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, IN THE CASE THEY HAVE APPLIED FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

FOR RV AND BOAT STORAGE. SO, THAT WOULD BE THE USE ON THE PROPERTY IN THE PARTICULAR CASE.

, UNLESS YOU WANTED TO PROPOSE A REZONING TO COMMERCIAL GENERAL WITH CONDITIONS THAT THE OPERATION BE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A SPECIAL USE PERMIT. THAT WOULD BE IT.

THAT'S THE ONLY SUGGESTION SINCE IT IS NOT A PUD.

>> IF I MAY, AND WITH THE GOOD FAITH IF YOU APPROVE THE REZONING ADD SHOULD THOSE NEVER COME TO FRUITION THEN THE GENERAL THEY WOULD HAVE ALL RIGHTS TO USE ANY WITHIN.

IS THAT CLEAR? >> THE BEST AND THINGS HAPPEN I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE TURNING IT INTO A WAREHOUSE.

YOU CAN PUT A CONDITION ON IT. THAT'S MY COMMENT, I WOULD LIKE TO APPROVE IT WITH THE CONDITION.

>> AND COMMISSIONER WALDRON HAS RECUSED HIMSELF.

ANYONE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? >> I WOULD BE HAPPY.

AND SO I WOULD MOVE TO ENACT 2022.

>> NO. >> I LOOKED THROUGH WHAT WAS AVAILABLE AND SMALL BUSINESS OFFICES OR SOMETHING.

>> I THINK ONE OF THE CONCERNS I HAD WHERE YOU GET A ZONING ONE SAYS SOMETHING IT FALLS THROUGH AND SOMETHING POPS UP.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE APPROVING WHAT IS EXPRESSED TO US DURING THE MEETING IF NO OTHER REASON THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS WHAT WE'RE APPROVING.

THE WAIVERS ARE TO ALLOW A PROJECTION INTO SIDE YARD FOR THE SOFFITTS AND 3-FOOT SET BACK INSTEAD OF 5 FOR MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. THE INTENTION IS TO ALLOW MORE EQUIPMENT ON THE SIDE OR CLOSER TO THE BACK SO THE BACKYARD IS MORE OPEN TO OTHER ACCESSORY AND STRUCTURES.

THIS WOULD -- THE SET BACK WOULD APPLY.

AND FINALLY THE THIRD BUFFER PART OF THE EASTERN BOUNDARY WITH THE INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE ZONING AND WE ARE REQUESTING A BUFFER CHANGE FROM C TO B. THE MAIN REASON BEING C REQUIRES A MASONRY WALL TO NOT ALLOW RESIDENTS TO BE INTERRUPTED BY THE WAREHOUSE T IS NOT NECESSARY THERE ARE 200 FEET OF SEPARATION BETWEEN THE WAREHOUSES AND A CONSERVATION EASEMENT SERVING THAT SPACE BETWEEN THEM.

THERE IS 70 FEET OF SEPARATION BETWEEN THE BOUNDARY TO THE NEAREST HOME AND THE WEST THERE IS THE POND.

THERE IS A PERIMETER BUFFER ON ALL THE SIDES EXCLUDING THE 30-FOOT BUFFER WHERE THE WAREHOUSES ARE.

AS PART OF THE PROJECT. WE ARE REQUIRED TO ADD A 1200-FOOT 8-INCH MAINE TO CONNECT THE SEWER UP TO WHERE THE SUBDIVISION ENTRANCE IS. THERE IS SEWER AVAILABLE AND WATER TO THE EAST. THIS COMPLETES THE ROLLING HIHILLS CORRIDOR CONNECTIONS.

AS PART OF THE PROJECT THE PROPERTY IS WITHIN THE FLOOD ZONE AND THE SOIL IS SUITABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT.

THERE IS NO -- THERE IS MINIMAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT WITH .08 WETLANDS IMPACTED ON THE SITE. THE REMAIN OTHER OF THE WETLANDS WILL NOT BE DISTURBED.

WE WILL COMPLY WITH FISH AND WILDLIFE COMMISSION TO MAKE SURE THE GOPHER TORTOISE IS RELOCATED.

THERE IS NO OTHER -- THE PROPERTY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR OTHER PROTECTED SPECIES. AS PART OF THE TRAFFIC REVIEW ON THE PROPERTY, THERE ARE 47 PEAK HOUR TRIPS FOR THE PROPERTY. THE ROLLING HILLS DRIVE ITSELF IS -- IT IS AN OKAY CONDITION EVEN AFTER WE INCLUDE THE PEAK HOUR TRIPS FOR ROLLING HILLS. AND THERE IS A RIGHT RETURN WHICH IS REQUIRED RIGHT TURN LANE INTO THAT WILL BE

[02:15:02]

REQUIRED. THIS WILL PREVENT STACKING ON THE ROLLING HILLS DRIVE COMING FROM 207 SOUTH ON ROLLING HILLS. AS PART OF THE TRAFFIC STUDY.

STAFF DID NOT REQUIRE A LEFT TURN LANE OR A TRAFFIC STUDY SUCH. SO, STAFF DETERMINED THERE IS CAPACITY FOR 47 LOTS. JUST TO SPEAK TO THE SOME OF THE TRANSPORTATION CONCERNS WE HEARD TODAY AND IN PAST GROWTH MANAGEMENT WORKSHOPS THERE ARE I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE POINTS AND WE'LL START WITH THE DOWN HERE THE 59.1 ROADWAY LING. KINGS ESTATE AND CONNECTS DOBBS TO AND THIS IS A DEVENT ROUTE. BUT IN ORDER TO CONSIDER THAT OUR IMPACT WOULD BE ADVERSELY IMPACTING THE EXTENSION.

WE WOULD -- 1% OF THE TRAFFIC WOULD COME ON TO THIS PORTION.

HOWEVER THAT WOULD REQUIRE THAT 30% AT ROLLING HILLS COME DOWN AND WE DO NOT FEEL THIS IS A GOING DOWN ON U.S.-1.

AND MOST WOULD BE HEADING NORTH TO THE 207 CORRIDOR.

TO SPEAK TO THE ROUTE HERE. I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW AN EXHIBIT YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE AND INTO THE OPPORTUNITY.

I WANTED TO SHARE THIS. >> SO -- OUR IS RIGHT HERE.

AND HERE IS THE AND THAT I WAS TALKING TO YOU ABOUT.

120%. WITH REGARDS TO THE EXTENSION AND OCCURRING. THAT IS FULLY FUNDED.

THIS WOULD LIKELY ALLEVIATE THE TRAFFIC FROM ROLLING HILLS IF THEY ARE TRYING TO GO NORTH UP THE BOULEVARD TO GET STATE ROUTE 16 OR I-9 A GOING NORTH. THIS WILL ALLEVIATE AND COMING FROM 312 WEST GOING NORTH WE NO LONGER HAVE TO UTILIZE THE ROUTE RIGHT HERE. AND THE SAME THING WILL GO FOR ANYONE GOING NORTH AND WHICH IS A DEVENT ROUTE AND ASSIST WITH THAT TRAFFIC THAT IS FOLLOWING THE INTERSECTION.

THAT'S CONSIDERATION IS THE IMPACT FEES.

WITH REGARDS TO THE IMPACT FEES FOR TRANSPORTATION OR ROADS, WE WOULD BE ALMOST HALF A MILLION DOLLARS FOR ALL OF THESE LOTS IN THE SUBDIVISION. WE'REET CREATING NO MORE DEVENT OR CRITICAL ROUTES THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTION TO ANY OF THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL COME OUT OF THE SUBDIVISION. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE SYSTEM IN THE SITE, WE HAVE A LETTER FROM THE DISTRICT THAT RESERVED 22 STUDENTS FOR THE SUBDIVISION.

WITHIN THIS AREA THERE IS ABOUT 22 STUDENTS AND RESERVED.

AND FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS. 10 OF THOSE WILL GO AND THREE OF THOSE WILL GO TO RJ MIDDLE SCHOOL AND 7 WILL GO TO MENENDEZ SCHOOL. THIS IS A QUICK SUMMARY.

WE ARE COMPLYING WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE.

WE ARE TAPPING OUT AT FOUR UNITS AN ACRE AND WE ARE TRYING TO ADHERE BY THE POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THAT COMPLETES THE CORRIDOR, ASSIS ASSISTS WITH UTILITIES AND PROVIDES IMPACT FEES THIS IS NOT LIKE WHAT WE HAVE SEEN. THERE IS NO FEES AND IT IS -- IT IS A STRAIGHTFORWARD AND IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA. WE HOPE YOU APPROVE THIS REQUEST IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ME, THANK YOU; WE WILL OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. PUBLIC COMMENT ON AGENDA NUMBER 5. , ED SLAVIN.

[02:20:01]

VOTE NO THIS IS TRYING TO CONVERT OPEN RURAL TO PUD.

IT IS PULTE THE SAME FOLKS FOUND GUILTY OF DESTROYING 22 BURROWS IN MARION COUNTY. I'M UNCONVINCED OF THE LEGITIMACY AS A CORPORATION. THERE IS NO NEED TO CREATE NEW HO HOMES NEXT TO INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSES.

WHO WOULD WANT TO BRING THEIR FAMILY THERE WITH THE NOISE.

IT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

IT IS LIKE THE ASPHALT PLANT WATCHING A BCC MEETING ON TELEVISION BACK IN 2005 THERE WAS A FELLOW BY JAY BRYANT ELECTED COMMISSIONER. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE ASPHALT PLANT. NOW I TALKED TO THE STAFF I READ ARTICLES THE STAFF WAS COMPLETELY ON LIVE OUS TO THE FACT THAT ASPHALT PLANTS INCREASE BRAIN CANCER BY 16 TIMES. THEY INCREASE SUICIDE LEVELS BY 16 TIMES. THE LADY IN CHARGE DID NOT GIVE A FIG AND CARE. THAT WAS BEYOND HERE PREHENCE AND HER INTEREST WE DON'T NEED TO PUT HOMES NEXT TO INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSES THAT IS BAD ZONING. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT DOES TO THE PEOPLE'S ABILITY TO ENJOY THE HOME HAVING A WARE HOUSE NEXT DOOR? THIS IS BAD PLANNING I'M GLAD YOU VOTED DOWN THE PRIOR PULTE ITEM I HOPE YOU VOTE THIS DOWN. WE NEED AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION COMMISSION IN ST. JOHNS JUST LIKE IN HILLSBOROUGH BUT I'M -- I'M FLOORED THEY BRING, IT IS A DOG WITH FLEAS.

THIS IS A LITERALLY A DOG WITH FLEAS.

IT DOES NOTHING FOR THE PUBLIC.

THERE IS NO BENEFIT TO PUTTING HOMES NEXT TO TRAIL WAREHOUSES.

WHY TAKE ANY MORE LAND OUT OF RURAL.

THAT'S WHY THERE WERE 67 WITNESSES HERE A WEEK ACCEPT.

ARE YOU LISTENING TO THEM. THANK YOU.

VOTE THIS DOWN AND ASK THE APPLICANT TO IDENTIFY EVERY SINGLE INVESTOR AND OWNER IN THE PROJECT UNDER FLORIDA CONFLICT OF INTEREST FLORIDA STATUTE 112, HOW CAN WE KNOW IF THERE IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IF WE DON'T KNOW WHO THE INVESTORS. WE HAVE A FORM THAT ASKS EACH PROJECT THAT IDENTIFY EVERYBODY THAT SERVES TO BENEFIT FROM IT. THANK YOUOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

AND VOTING DOWN THE PRIOR ITEM. >> BJ KALADI.

THIS WILL PROBABLY SUGGEST NOT I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST NOT ONLY FOR YOU BUT PEOPLE THAT ARE LISTENING, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE LISTENING. IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE OF HOW IT WAS DISCUSSED ON THE 25TH IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE A PICTURE BEFORE DEGREES AND WHATEVER AND THEN AFTERNOON HOUSES AND THINGS AND HOUSES ADD THINGS AND WHATEVER JUST TO GIVE AN IDEA WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING.

THAT'S WHAT THEY TRIED TO SAY AT THE 25TH TO SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING. TALKINGIS ONE THING THE DOCUMENTS AND THINGS BUT WHEN YOU CAN SEE THE PICTURE YOU SEE EVERYTHING IS GOING AND SOME THINGS HAVE TO GO.

I THINK SOME DEVELOPERS CAN KEEP MORE THAT WE AS A COMMUNITY AS A COUNTY. WE WANT TO NOT GO BACK.

IF SOMEONE CAN ANSWER THIS, I HAVE TO GET WITH PHONG NGUYEN AND HIS PEOPLE THEY WILL GIVE $500,000 TO THE IMPACT FEE.

WHAT WE AS THE PUBLIC NEED TO KNOW, ARE THEY GIVING US MONEY THAT'S GOING TO BE HELD HERE BY THE COUNTY OR WHEN DO WE GET THAT MONEY AND GOING BACK TO THE COST OF INFLATION.

WE BROUGHT THAT UP BUT THE INFLATION AND WILL THIS 500,000 GET UP TO A MILLION AND THEN THEY CAN USE THAT AND IF THEY

[02:25:02]

DON'T USE PART OF THAT THAT IS SITTING HERE SOME PLACE, THEY CAN GIVE IT AWAY. THAT'S CONCERNING THEY WILL DO THAT NOW. AND GIVING IT TO FIXING AND DEVELOPING SOMETHING AND THOSE ARE MY TWO QUESTIONS.

INFLATION, AND A T COMMUNITY WHAT WE HAVE AND WHAT WE'RE GETTING SO THAT WE CAN REALLY SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ALL THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND IN THE COUNTY AND THE CITY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU, ANYBODY ELSE WISHING TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT.

IT IS THE TIME. WE WILL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT ON

ITEM NUMBER 5. >> DOES THE APPLICANT WISH TO MAKE ANY FURTHER COMMENTS? , THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THE INSIGHT. WE HAVE SPOKE WITH THE NEIGHBOR, I WANT TO GO BACK HERE.

THE SPACE NEXT TO AN INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE THE BUFFER ON THE EASTERN BOUNDARY AND 215 FEET OF SEPARATION, THAT'S 250 FEET OF SEPARATION BEYOND THE REQUIREMENTS FOR BUFFERING BETWEEN PROPERTIES. WE WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER, THE INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE, THEY HAVE GOTTEN OUR UTILITY PLANS. THEY HAVE SEEN OUR PLANS THEY KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE HAD GOOD RELATIONSHIP AND WE'LL REACH OUT IF WE HAVE TO WORK ON THINGS DURING THE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT. AND AS FAR AS THE OPEN RURAL ZONING. THIS IS A LOT THAT'S AS PART OF AN INFILL DEVELOPMENT SURROUNDED BY MIXED USE DISTRICT AND IN A RESIDENTIAL SEAT TYPE OF DESIGNATION NOT SUITABLE FOR FARM LOTS, AGRICULTURE,,,ST IT IS OPEN FOR USES LIKE CHILD CARE AND LIVING FACILITY THIS IS A COMPARABLE -- A GOOD SOLUTION TO THE PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT'S THERE CAN HAVE MINUTE 10 LOTS WITH THE DESIGNATION THAT'S BEFORE THE DESIGN. KEEP IN CONSIDERATION OF PRESERVING THE WETLANDS AND MAKING A DEVELOPMENT THAT IS SUITABLE. AND ROLLING HILLS DOES A GOOD JOB AND THE BENEFITS THE IMPACT FEES THE 500 NUMBER FIGURE I GAVE WAS ONLY FOR ROAD IMPACT FEES I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT IMPACT FEES FOR FIRE, FOR EXAMPLE.

SO THOSE FEES WOULD ASSIST IN THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN ST.

JOHNS. WE HOPE THAT IS HELPFUL.

THANK YOU. , ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS

FROM THE BOARD? >> COMMISSIONER WALDRON?

>> MR. GARCIA, ARE THE ROADS INTERIOR PRIVATE OR PUBLIC?

>> I'M NOT SURE I CAN SO CONSULT REAL QUICK, SIR.

IF IT IS YOUR PREFERENCE THAT HE CAN BE PRIVATE.

I HAVE DRIVEN BY IT I CUT THROUGH GOING HOME.

ARE YOU TRYING TO SAVE THE OAK TREES OTHER THAN THE ONE

SECTION TO THE BACKSIDE? >> I HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOST RECENT TREE SURVEYKY SPEAK WITH THE ENGINEER AND GIVE YOU THOSE

VALUES. >> AND THE MAJORITY OF TREES ALONG THE BUTCHER AND BOUNDERRING BETWEEN THE COMMERCIAL USE AND US AND WE WENT OUT AND DONE SURVEY OF THEM AND INCLUDED THEM AND USED THEM IN THE BUFFERING.

THE INTERIOR OF THE SITE IN THE AERIAL THERE BUT WE HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED ANY TREES ON THE INTERIOR.

>> SO YOU WILL LEAVE THE BUFFER NATURAL?

>> THAT'S CORRECT. >> WE WILL SUPPLEMENT IT AS NEEDED AND MEET THE REQUIREMENTS BUT WE GPSED THOSE AND WE'RE USING THEM IN THE CALCULATIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AREA RATHER THAN TEAR DOWN AND REPLACE.

THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> COMMENT? IS THERE A MOTION?

>> COMMISSIONER WALDRON. >> WHAT THE NEW MAP WILL DO. AND I KNOW THIS IS ANOTHER PART I WILL SAY THIS CLOSE TO TOWN AND JOBS IT IS CLOSE TO

ALL RIGHT THIS IS A CURRENT SURVEY MAP OF THE PROPERTY.

THERE IS THREE RESIDENCES THAT DEPEND ON THAT ROAD.

[02:35:01]

I LEARNED THAT THE EASEMENT WILL NOT AFFECT OUR COMING AND GOING FROM OUR PROPERTY WHICH IS NICE TO HEAR.

I HOPE THAT THE COMMISSION -- I HOPE YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE HISTORICAL VALUE OF THE ROAD.

IT IS NOT JUST A PIECE OF DIRT BUILT IN 1765.

IT WAS AN INDIAN TRAIL BEFORE THAT.

WE HAVE LIVED THERE FOR A LONG TIME THERE IS A LOT OF WILDLIFE. THERE IS THE CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT. AND JUST MAKING THE ANIMALS CRAZY. MY INTEREST HAS.

MY FEAR ALLAYED BY SEEING THE DIVISION OF THE ROAD AND THE TRAIL THAT THE EASEMENT OF 30 PEOPLE INTO OUR NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY. WE HAVE A SPECIAL NEIGHBORHOOD T IS DARK AND QUIET AND WE HAVE ELDERLY THAT WALK THE ROADS AND KIDS ON SKATEBOARDS SKATING. IT IS IDYLLIC ANYONE THAT GOES THROUGH YOU KNOW THE CAR. THERE IS NO TRAFFIC.

I HOPE IT STAYS THAT WAY. I HOPE THAT THE NEIGHBORS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

BEING AN AMATEUR ASTRONOMER I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE THE CONSIDER APPRECIATE THAT NOT PUTTING STREETLIGHTS IN I HOPE THEY STAY DARK FOR A LONG TIME.

AND YOU MAY CONSIDER A DARK SKY CITY.

I WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THAT.

IT IS QUITE THE ATTRACTION TO SEE THE STARS AND THE LIGHTS.

AND I KNOW THAT THE EASEMENTS IS NOT DOES NOT IMPEDE ON TO PARK TRAIL. YOU KNOW WE ALONG WITH THEM WE KNOW THE HISTORY OF THE TRAIL ROAD.

AND HAVING THE EASEMENTS ALLOWS THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY NOT BEING THAT ACRE NOT BEING LANDLOCKED.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. LIKE WE SAID I UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY BEHIND IT AND PARK TRAIL IT IS NOT INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THAT ACCESS EASEMENT TO ANY DEGREE.

MORNING, WE'RE ROLLING ALONG. >> IT IS MORNING.

MR. CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS MAYBE A GOOD STRETCH SINCE WE HAVE BEEN HERE A WHILE GET A LITTLE CIRCULATION GOING.

I'M ELLEN AVERY-SMITH. WHETSTONE PLACE.

WITH ME ARE THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND WIN WARD SHIPPING AND THE PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY LOCATED I'M SORRY THIS DOES NOT SHOW UP WELL ON THE SCREEN BUT YOU CAN SEE U.S.-1 AND ACTUALLY IN THE CITY OF ST AUGUSTINE. THE PROJECT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE SHIPYARDS. IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU GO IT IS ON THE SAN SEBASTIAN RIVER. AND THERE IS A RESTAURANT ALONG

[02:40:05]

THE WATERFRONT AND THERE IS VACANT LAND THAT IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT PURSUANT TO APPROVALS FROM THE CITY OF ST AUGUSTINE. THE REASON WE'RE HERE IS THE COUNTY LOANS LAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY.

THIS IS ACTUALLY DIESEL ROAD WHICH IS AN UNOPENED PORTION OF THE ROAD THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BY ST. JOHNS.

WIN WARD OWNS IT ON THE RIGHT OF WAY AND IT OWNS THE LAND ON THE EXTENT NEAR THE SAND SEBASTIAN RIVER.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT VACATING THIS PORTION OF DIESEL ROAD.

THIS IS ARAPAHOE, THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE CLOSED.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS UNOPENED SECTION OF THE RIGHT AWAY WHERE THE RED LINE IS. YOU SEE THERE IS A POND LOCATED THERE IN PORTION OF THE RIGHT OF WAY NOW AND EXTENDS DOWN TO THIS POINT, THIS POINT, THIS AREA IS OWNED BY WIN WARD AGAIN AND PROVIDES THE ACCESS TO THE WATER.

SO YOU CAN GO DOWN THERE AS A BOATER, AND AGAIN, YOU SEE THE DRY STACK AND SEE THE WET MARINA THERE.

THERE IS ACCESS TO THE WATERFRONT THROUGH THAT PROPERTY WHICH, AGAIN IS IN THE CITY OF ST AUGUSTINE.

WE HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE CITY AND THE UTILITY PROVIDERS AND SERVE THE AREA THEY ARE ALL OKAY.

WE WORK WITH FP AND L AND COME CAST TO GIVE THEM REPLACEMENT EASEMENTS THE GETTING RID OF THE RIGHT OF WAY WE HAVE TO HAVE EASEMENTS WITHIN THE PROPERTY.

OBVIOUSLY IF YOU LOOK AT THE PROPERTY, IT IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT, AND THERE IS A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT THAT IS PROPOSED RIGHT HERE AND SO, THOSE ALL TILL TILLS WILL BE ABLE TO SERVE THE PROJECT AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE SHIPYARDS AS IT DEVELOPS. WITHOUT TAKING MORE OF YOUR TIME I APPRECIATE IT. WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND APPRECIATE YOUR APPROVING THE.

>> ANY COMMENT. >> OPEN UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT ON 7. PUBLIC COMMENT NOW ON THE ITEM

NUMBER 7. >> BJ CALADI.

THIS DEVELOPMENT WAS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY OF ST AUGUSTINE YEARS AGO. THE DIESEL ROAD HAS BEEN FENCED OFF TO THE PUBLIC. THERE IS FUTURE DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING A GARAGE. WILL THE COUNTY CHARGE ROAD IMPACT FEES TO THE DEVELOPER FOR THEIR IMPACT ON ARAPAHOE AND U.S.-1? ARAPAHOE.

CANNOT GET THERE WITHOUT IT OR U.S.-1.

WHAT HAS THE DEVELOPER PAID THE COUNTY FOR IMPACT FEES ON THE ROADS? THIS DEVELOPER WILL BE AT TODAY'S PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING AND IN THE CITY OF ST AUGUSTINE TO ASK FOR AN EXCEPTION TO DO SOME STUFF.

DENIED UNLESS THE COUNTY CAN COLLECT MORE THAN $416 TO GIVE THE ROAD TO A DEVELOPER TO INCREASE THEIR BOTTOM LINE AND THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT U.S.-1 WHERE PEOPLE ARE COMING IN.

THERE IS NO TRAFFIC LIGHT THERE.

THE STUDIES SAID WE DON'T NEED ONE AND THE WHOLE DEVELOPMENT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A MUSEUM HERE AND THIS IS GIVE AWAY BUT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT ARAPAHOE AND IMPACT FEES ON AND ANYONE WAS TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> COMMISSIONER, YOU HAVE, I WAS GOING TO SAY.

>> GO AREAD. AND THAT IS IN THE CITY THEY DO

NOT CHARGE IMPACT FEES. >> YOU'RE RIGHT ON THAT ARAPAHOE IS A COUNTY ROAD THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

>> I UNDERSTAND THAT. >> I GOT YOU, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A PROBLEM IN THE CITY, TOO, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> MR. SLAVIN.

>> ED SLAVIY. I AGREE WITH THE CONCERNS AND THERE IS NO PUBLIC BENEFIT FROM THE PROPOSAL.

NONE. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH STATE LAW ON STREET VACATIONS IT SAYS THAT YOU GET THE LAND FOR FREE. THAT'S NOT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST. THAT'S TALLAHASSEE BASICALLY SUBSIDISING DEVELOPERS. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME UTILITY AT THIS TIME WHEN THEY WERE SMALL OWNERS AND RURAL ROADS INVOLVED. BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS

[02:45:01]

THAT THE STATE LAW SAYS WE CANNOT CHARGE THE DEVELOPER IF WE'RE GOING TO VACANT THE LAND.

AND TABLE THIS AND LET'S ASK OUR LOBBYISTS IN TALLAHASSEE TO LOBBY THE LEGISLATURE TO CHANGE THE LAW AND LET US CHARGE.

WHERE ELSE DO YOU GET FREE LAND? THIS IS NOT 1870. WE'RE GIVING AWAY, THE

TAXPAYERS AND TO THE CITY. >> ANYONE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT

WITH THAT PROPOSAL. >> WE'RE BACK TO THE BOARD AND WE'RE BACK TO THE APPLICANT, ANY COMMENTS.

>> ONE QUICK INFORMATION FOR THE BOARD THIS IS THE SITE PLAN FOR THE CITY. THERE IS AN AMENDED REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF ST AUGUSTINE TO PROVIDE AND WHEN WARRANTED AND AGREED TO BY DOT.

AND SO, THAT'S ALREADY IN PLACE.

EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THE NEED TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT INTERSECTION AND THE CITY IS ON IT AND OUR SILENTS ARE IN IT AS PART OF THE PLAN. WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY TAXES ONCE THE LAND IS OWNED BY THE SHIPYARDS IT WILL PAY THE PROPERTY TAXES AND THEY WILL DEVELOP THAT YOU SHOULD GET INCREASED TAX BASE FOR THE PROPERTY.

>> THANK YOU, THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I'M PREPARED TO MAKE A MOTION. THIS IS IN DISTRICT 5.

I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 2022-40 APPROVING THE VACROA 2021-0LE. AND DIESEL ROAD TO VACATE A

GARY DAVENPORT. SHAD WOOD --

>> MR. CHAIRMAN THIS IS

>> OKAY, THIS IS THE LAST OF OUR EX-PARTE.

COMMISSIONER. >> I DID HAVE A PHONE CALL.

I HAD A PHONE CALL WITH MR. GARY DAVENPORT JANUARY 21 APPROXIMATELY IN THE MORNING WE SPOKE BRIEFLY OF THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT I AM THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONER.

I DID NOT HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THAT WAS THE EXTENT OF THE

COMMISSION. >> COMMISSIONER WALDRON?

>> NONE. >> I HAVE NONE.

COMMISSIONER WHITEHURST? >> NONE.

>> ARNOLD? >> NONE.

>> YES, SIR, SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU.

IF YOU WANT TO START OVER. >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.

>> GARY DAVENPORT. SOUTH SHADOW WOOD REPRESENTING THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY WHICH IS MR. DAVEY MCGEE.

IT SHOULD BE SIMPLE I'LL KEEP IT BRIEF.

IN MANY OF YOU KNOW THIS GOES BACK TO THE '80S OR BEFORE.

AND ZONED PUD AND THE BLUE AREAS THAT YOU SEE HERE IS THE PUD TO THE WEST OF MARSHLAND SOMETHING MOSTLY MARSH BUT THERE ARE PROPERTIES THAT GO OUT INTO MARSH THAT WAS NEVER PART OF THE PUD AND OWNED ADD MANY OF THEM WERE LANDLOCKED SO THEY COME UP TO ACCESS THE AND BECAUSE IT WAS LANDLOCKED.

SO THE PARCEL THAT YOU SEE HERE IS ZONED BY OR IS OWNED BY MR. MCGEE. HE OWNS ONE LOT AND HE OWNS A OR LOT OUTSIDE OF THE PUD. CAN YOU SEE HERE AND THE PLATTED LOT IS THE BLUE AND THE YELLOW PIECE AND THEN ALL OF THE DRAWING THAT YOU SEE TO THE LEFT OF THAT IS THE OR PIECE.

ESSENTIALLY, THERE IS AN EASEMENT THROUGH THE PLATTED LOT. YOU HAVE TWO BUILDABLE LOTS, ARE YOU ENTITLED TO ONE HOUSE EACH IN THE AREA.

MR. MCGEE BOUGHT BOTH OF THEM AND BECAUSE OF THE SIZE AND HE WANTS TO BUILD A RELATIVE A HOUSE ON THE PLATTED LOT AND RATHER THAN KIND OF CRAM IT IN BECAUSE IT IS A CONSTRAINED LOT WITH THE WETLANDS TO GET ACCESS, SO, IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE SET BACKS HE WANTS TO ADD 20 FEET.

I WORKED WITH THE STAFF TO FIND AN ALTERNATIVE BUT SINCE I'M

[02:50:03]

ADDING 20 FEET TO A PUD IT IS A MAJOR MODIFICATION AND COME BEFORE THE BOARD. THIS REFERENCES BACK TO A FEW YEARS BACK AND ACTUALLY MR. STOKES OWNED THE PROPERTIES WE CAME IN FOR A MAJOR MODIFICATION WITH THE EASEMENT BECAUSE, AGAIN, ACCESS OUTSIDE OF THE PUD, AND MODIFICATIONS.

THIS IS THE SECOND MODIFICATION TO ACCOMMODATE THE DEVELOPMENT TWO HOUSES. BUT IT WAS ANTICIPATED ALWAYS THERE WOULD BE A HOUSE OUT THERE.

THIS IS ESSENTIALLY GIVES YOU AN IDEA ON THE LOT WHERE THE DEVELOPABLE PART IS AND IT IS PRETTY LARGE OUT THERE.

AND NO WETLANDS WILL BE AFFECTED JUST TO EXPAND THE SET BACKS FOR THE HOUSE THAT IS WITHIN MARSHLAND SO WITH THAT.

I'M AVAILABLE FOR THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

>> ANY QUESTIONS? >> AT THIS TIME WE'LL OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM 8 TAKING PUBLIC 8 ON NUMBER 8.

>> MR. SLAVIN WELCOME BACK,. >> AND ED SLAVIN.

ST AUGUSTINE. DO NOT APPROVE THE MODIFICATION. YOU HEARD FROM THE DISTINGUISHED INTERNATIONALRY RENOWNED NEUROSURGEON AND OTHER RESIDENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT TALKING ABOUT THE CONSTANT FLOODING WHICH IS NOT SOLVED AND THE COUNTY IS WORKING ON SOLVING SO PLEASE TABLE THIS OR JUST REJECT IT OUTRIGHT.

PEOPLE TESTIFY ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET TO THEIR MAILBOX BECAUSE OF THE FLOOD WATERS, TRIPPING AND FALLING, BREAKING COLLAR BEEN BONES AND ARMS, PEOPLE NOT GETTING TO THE HOSPITAL OR THE DOCTOR. THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST RIDICULOUS APPLICATION FOR ZONING CHANGE I HAVE EVER HEARD OF. THERE IS NO PUBLIC BENEFIT.

THE APPLICANT'S COUNSEL IS THE TOP LAWYER FOR THE NATIONAL GUARD AND THE DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY AFFAIRS.

HE SHOULD NOT BE REPRESENTING APPLICANTS BEFORE THE BOARD.

I SPOKE WITH HIM ON JULY 5TH HE SAID HE IS A FULL-TIME FEDERAL EMPLOYEE. HE SAID IT WAS NONE OF OF MY BUSINESS. IT IS THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS.

WE'RE HERE IN THE ROOM, IN THE BUILDING ON THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS. AND I ASKED HIM BACK ON JULY 5TH , I ASKED HIM AGAIN YESTERDAY, I SENT YOU A NOTICE OF FILING THIS MORNING FOR ANY PERMISSION, WAIVER, LEGAL AUTHORITY FOR GARY DAVENPORT TO REPRESENT APPLICANTS WHERE THIS BCC, I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY.

IF THERE WAS, HE WOULD HAVE ANSWERED THE QUESTION STRAIGHT 211 DAYS AGO. BUT WE DON'T NEED THE PEOPLE, DON'T NEED AND THE APPLICANT DOESN'T NEED THIS APPROVAL.

IT IS BASED ON GREED, IT IS BASED ON INFLUENCE, I WOULD FURTHER NOTE THAT MR. BLOCK SER IN THE NATIONAL GUARD AND MR. DAVENPORT IS HIS BOSS IN THE NATIONAL GUARD.

I LEFT LEFT WORD FOR MR. BLOCKER TO RECUSE AND THE COUNTY ATTORNEY THE ATTORNEY SENT ME AN E-MAIL LAST NIGHT VERY SHALLOW, NO LEGAL RESEARCH, CONCLUSION AIRY LIKE THE LAST TIME HE ISSUED AN OPINION WITHOUT LEGAL AUTHORITY WHATSOEVER. WE NEED BETTER THAN THAT IN TERMS OF LEGAL ADVICE. WE NEED BETTER IN TERMS OF STAFF. STAFF SHOULD HAVE FLAGGED THIS AS AN ECKICS ISSUE. THEY SHOULD HAVE REQUESTED AN ETHICS OPINION FROM THE FLORIDA COMMISSION ON ETHICS AND THE FLORIDA ATTORNEY-GENERAL, SO ABSENT THAT, MOVE TO TABLE OR REJECT THE APPLICATION I DO NOT WANT TO SEE GARY DAVENPORT AGAIN REPRESENT APPLICANTS UNTIL THE ISSUE HAS BEEN STRAIGHTENED OUT AND A STATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL OPINION BECAUSE HE IS THE TOP LAWYER FOR THE FLORIDA NATIONAL GUARD WHO IS REPRESENTING APPLICANTS HERE IN THE COMMISSION.

THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

>> COMMISSIONER BLOCKER; THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN T IS

>> THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU SPEAK.

GARY DAVENPORT IS NOT MY BOSS IN THE MILITARY.

MAJOR DAVENPORT IS A FELLOW MAJOR KNOW IN MY CHAIN OF COMMAND. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS CLEAR. NORMALLY I WOULD NOT RESPOND LIKE THIS BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU MAKE COMMENTS LIKE THAT.

I APPRECIATE MAJOR DAVENPORT AND I THINK IT IS UNFORTUNATE HIS SERVICE HAS BEEN ATTACKED. A POOR REFLECTION ON ANIMUS WE

[02:55:05]

HAVE REFLECTED TOWARD VETERANS IN THE COMMUNITY.

I THINK WE NEED TO CORRECT THAT RIGHT NOW.

>> THANK YOU, LEGAL? >> YES MR. CHAIR, I ALSO WANT TO CHIME IN BECAUSE OF THE COMMENTS JUST MADE.

I DID RECEIVE AN EMAIL LAST WEEK I REVIEWED THE SITUATION AND BROUGHT IT TO COMMISSIONER BLOCKERS ATTENTION, WE SPOKE BASED ON MY REVIEW THE PLAIN LANGUAGE OF THE STATUTE I DID NOT FEEL IT WAS AN ETHICAL CONFLICT.

NONETHELESS I SUGGESTED MR. BLOCKER MIGHT MAKE A TELEPHONE CALL TO THE COMMISSION ON ETHICS.

HE HAD NO OBJECTION, I DID SPEAK TO GENERAL COUNSEL FOR THE COMMISSION ON ETHICS YESTERDAY, DISCUSSING THIS MATTER. BASED ON THE PLAIN LANGUAGE OF THE STATUTE, THERE IS NO ETHICAL CONFLICT FOR COMMISSIONER BLOCKER ON THIS MATTER.

I JUST WANTED TO RESPOND BASED ON WHAT WAS SAID DURING PUBLIC COMMENT. TO GIVE YOU ALL THE FACTS ON

THAT. >> THANK YOU, DAVID.

WE'VE HAD COMMENTS IS THERE A MOTION ON ITEM NUMBER EIGHT?

>> THERE IS, MR. CHAIRMAN. >> YES SIR, I WILL MAKE A

[9. 2022 Roadway and Transportation Alternatives List of Priority Projects (LOPP). The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) requests project priorities from local governments for potential funding of new transportation projects to be considered for inclusion in the new fiscal year (FY 2027/28) of FDOT’s Work Program. This is an annual recurring request sent to local governments. The St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners is charged with prioritizing all projects within the County, including those within municipal boundaries. The Transportation Advisory Group (TAG), consisting of County staff, representatives of the City of St. Augustine, St. Augustine Beach, St. Johns County School District, St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office, and the St. Augustine-St. Johns County Airport Authority, met on November 19, 2021 to review last year’s priorities and recommend this year’s priorities. The attached LOPP includes TAG's recommendations for both highway and alternatives projects.]

THIS ITEM BEFORE YOU, IS THE 2022 ROADWAY AND TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES LIST OF PRIORITY PROJECTS FOR ST. JOHNS COUNTY. THIS IS A LONG FUNDING CONSIDERATION BUT IS IMPORTANT FOR THIS PROCESS THROUGH THE YEARS, WE RECEIVED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TERMS OF ROADWAY FUNDING. SO THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS TO CONSIDER A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS COUNTY ST. JOHNS COUNTY 2022 LIST OF PRIORITY PROJECTS, SO WE CAN TRANSMIT THAT TO THE TPO AND EVENTUALLY GO TO DOT FOR FUNDING CONSIDERATION.

THIS FUNDING CONSIDERATION IS FOR FISCAL YEAR 27/28.

IT IS NOT ANYTHING IMMEDIATE. BUT IT COULD EVENTUALLY COME DOWN IF THEY HAVE ANY DISCRETION DOLLARS, THEY WOULD ALSO PROVIDE THAT TO US. SO WE WENT THROUGH TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY GROUP, WHICH PROVIDED OVER THE YEARS, AS ADVISORY TO WITH STAFF IN ORDER TO COME UP WITH THIS LIST OF PRIORITY PROJECTS, THE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE TAG LISTED ABOVE THERE, WE MET NOVEMBER 19 LAST YEAR TO PRIORITIZE PROJECTS AND RECOMMEND THIS YEAR'S 2022 LOPP. THE OBJECTIVE AGAIN, IS TO PRIORITIZE PROJECTS FOR FUNDING CONSIDERATION IN FISCAL YEAR 28. SO THE LOPP CONSISTS OF TWO PROGRAMS. THE HIGHWAY PROGRAM INCLUDING PREGIONAL PROJECTS. SO THE REGIONAL PROJECT LIST IS A COMPETITIVE LIST AMONG THE OTHER THREE COUNTIES.

NASSAU, DUVAL AND -- WE HAVE THE TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES PROJECT BASICALLY FOR SCHOOL, SIDEWALKS TO SCHOOL AND TRAILS.

SO THIS IS THE CURRENT ADOPTED LIST IN 2021.
