AND THEY'RE TELLING ME IT DOESN'T -- THEY MADE 30 TRIPS TO THE OFFICE AND THEY'RE TELLING ME THEY'RE NOT ACCOMPLISHING ANYTHING. WHY SHOULD THEY HAVE TO MAKE 30 TRIPS AND BE IGNORED? THIS IS LIKE HARASSMENT.

IS THAT CORRECT? >> SPEAKER: THAT'S CORRECT.
>> DR. HILSENBECK: DO YOU THINK THIS IS THE PROPERTY THIS GENTLEMAN IS REFERRED TO EARLIER?
>> SPEAKER: I BELIEVE SO, YEA. SO WHAT'S I EVER HAD REQUIRED WHENEVER YOU REPLACE A MOBILE HOME, WE DO GET A PERMIT WITH THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT, BUT AS FAR AS REQUIREMENTS, THERE'S NO DEVELOPMENT DONE. YOU JUST TAKE THE EXISTING MOBILE HOME ON THAT FOOTPRINT, YOU PUT THE NEW MOBILE HOME.
THE ONLY THING THEY DO IS THEY HAVE TO CONSTRUCT A SMALL PAD JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CREATED PROPERLY TO ALLOW PROPER DRAINAGE FOR ANY WATER THAT GETS UNDERNEATH THE MOBILE HOME TO DRAIN AWAY FROM THE MOBILE HOME, AND THAT'S THE ONLY FILL THAT EVER GETS BROUGHT IN WHENEVER YOU INSTALL A MOBILE HOME, AND THAT'S THE EXTENT OF WHAT WE DO. THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT DOES HAPPEN IS LAND DEVELOPMENT CODES REQUIRE THAT YOUR DRIVEWAY HAS TO HAVE A CONCRETE OR PAVED APRON WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE ROAD, AND IT ONLY GOES BACK IF I HAVE FEET, SO THAT'S DID -- 5 FEET SO THAT'S THE ONLY OTHER IMPROVEMENTS THAT GET DEPLETED ON THIS PROPERTY, ANY OF THESE PROPERTIES.
>> DR. HILSENBECK: COULD YOU BACK UP AND SHOW US THE SLIDE OF THE ACTUAL MOBILE HOME HA YOU'RE REPLACING AGAIN, PLEASE TO ME, HAVEN'T BEEN THERE BUT I'VE BEEN ON ARMSTRONG ROAD BF BEFORE, BUT THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A WETLAND TO ME.
AND THEN IF YOU COULD MOVE FORWARD TO THE AERIALS.
>> SPEAKER: YES. SO THIS IS NOT ON ANY OF THE NATIONAL WETLANDS INVENTORIES. IT'S NOT ON -- IT'S NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
AND HERE IT IS. >> DR. HILSENBECK: OKAY.
ALL RIGHTY. I MAY HAVE SOMETHING LATER, BUT AFTER THIS GENTLEMAN SPEAKS, I ASSUME HE'S GOING TO BE ALLOWED
TO. >> MR. MATOVINA: ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? OKAY. WE'LL OPEN UP FOR PUBLIC SPEAKERS. COME ON UP, SIR.
>> SPEAKER: I HAVE ISSUES. >> MR. MATOVINA: STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR
THE RECORD MEAN PLEASE. >> SPEAKER: MY NAME IS CHARLES MORE ETY. I LIVE AT 6345 ARMSTRONG ROAD.
I'M HERE ABOUT THE PROPERTY ALONGSIDE ME, 6337 ARMSTRONG ROAD. I HAVE PICTURES THAT ARE OBVIOU OBVIOUS. THEY SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES ABOUT A WETLAND. SOME WERE TAKEN TODAY.
SOME WERE YESTERDAY. AND I HAVE THEM GOING BACK.
AND I'M LIVING ON MY PROPERTY FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS.
THIS WHOSE BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I MOVED IN.
>> MR. MATOVINA: DO YOU WANT TO SHOW THE PICTURES, SIR
[00:20:05]
>> TERESA BISHOP: MR. CHAIR, JUST TO LET MR. -- KNOW IF HE SHOWS THESE PICTURES AND DISPLACE THEM, HE WILL TO HAVE
LEAVE THEM WITH THE CLERK HERE. >> MR. MATOVINA: CORRECT.
>> SPEAKER: I DIDN'T HEAR THAT.
>> MR. MATOVINA: SHE SAID, SIR, THAT NOW THAT YOU'RE USING THESE PICTURES AS EVIDENCE, YOU WILL -- [INAUDIBLE]
[00:27:16]
>> MR. MATOVINA: ALL RIGHT. SO WE REQUEST FOR A CONTINUANCE TO A DATE UNCERTAIN ON THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY LOCATE AT 875 WEST KING STREET. THE REASON IS THAT WE HAVE TO DO A COMP PLAN AMENDMENT ON THIS ONE.
IT'S LOCATED IN A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT IS ZONED OR THAT'S COMMERCIAL RETAIL, AND SO WE HAVE TO GET THAT CHANGED TO RESIDENTIAL IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT SO WE'RE GOING TO ASK FOR A CONTINUANCE ON THIS ONE.
>> MR. MATOVINA: THERE ARE. THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE SUCH CONTINUANCE? IS THERE A SECOND.
SECOND BY DR. HILSENBECK. ANY DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
ALL RIGHT. THAT MOTION PASSES.
ON TO ITEM NUMBER 6, SIR. >> SPEAKER: ALL RIGHT.
ITEM NUMBER 6. REQUEST TO REPLACE AN EXISTING MOBILE HOME WITH A NEW MOBILE HOME LOCATED AT 4616 THIRD AVENUE. CURRENT MOBILE HOME ON A PROPERTY WAS BANDLE I. DAMAGED BY HURRICANE MATTHEW IN 2016 AND IS BEING REPLACED BE CDBG DR RESTORE ST. JOHN PROGRAM.
THE SURROUND PROPERTIES ASSIST OF BOTH SITE BUILT AND MOBILE HOMES, ADJACENT MOBILE HOMES ARE LOCATED AT 4600 THIRD AVENUE, 4613 THIRD AVENUE, AND 204 JACKSON BOULEVARD.
THE NEW HOME IS TO BE A SINGLE WIDE MOBILE HOME UNIT WITH THREE BEDROOMS AND TWO BATHROOMS. THIS IS AN AERIAL MAP SHOWING THE LOCATION. IT'S OUTLINE IN YELLOW IN THE MIDDLE. AND HERE IS THE LOCATION MAP.
OUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP INDICATES THAT IT IS IN RESIDENTIAL C. OUR CURRENT ZONING MAP INDICATES THAT IT IS RS-3. AND THIS IS OUR AERIAL SHOWING THE EXISTING EXISTING MOBIE IN BLUE WITH OTHER MOBILE HOMES IN RED. AND THIS IS THE SITE PLAN FOR THE PROPOSED MOBILE HOME. WE'VE HAD -- WE'VE HAD SOME EMAILS COME IN FROM ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS ON THIS PARTICULAR ONE. THEY HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE
[00:30:02]
CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY AND SOME ILLICIT BEHAVIOR OCCURRING ON THIS PROPERTY. OUR PROGRAM BASICALLY WHAT WE DO IS WE ARE JUST REHABBING OR REPLACING HOMES THROUGHOUT ST. JOHNS COUNTY AND THAT'S ALL WE'RE DOING HERE.WE ARE TAKING OUT OLD DILAPIDATED MOBILE HOME AND REPLACING IT WITH A BRAND NEW ONE, SO IT SHOULD CLEAN UP EVERYTHING QUITE A BIT ONCE YOU PUT IN A NEW MOBILE HOME.
>> MR. MATOVINA: ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT?
DR. HILSENBECK. >> DR. HILSENBECK: SO, YEAH, THE LETTER THAT WE RECEIVED HERE IS PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROPERTY. SO YOU HAVE THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT HAS NO PROVISIONS FOR ENFORCING ANY KIND OF REGULATIONS IN THIS -- IN THE COUNTY?
>> SPEAKER: WE DON'T DO ANYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO CODE FORM. THE COUNTY HAS A DIVISION THAT HANDLES ANY CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUES.
ALL WE DO IS REPLACE THE HOME ITSELF.
>> DR. HILSENBECK: SO THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO ENSURE THAT THE PROPERTY IS CLEANED UP OR ANYTHING AHEAD OF TIME? JUST REPLACING THE MOMENT HOME, NOTHING ELSE.
>> AND JUST REPLACING THE HOME. OBVIOUSLY -- JUST THE WHOLE PROCESS OF REMOVING A MOBILE HOME AND PUTTING A NEW ONE IN, I'M SURE THAT ANYTHING THAT'S IN THE WAY WILL HAVE TO BE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY, AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS IN THE WAY AT THIS POINT, IF THERE IS SOME -- IF THERE MIGHT BE AN OUTBUILDING OR AN RV OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON THE PROPERTY, ANYTHING LIKE THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY IN ORDER TO MAKE ROOM FOR THIS MOBILE HOME, BUT BEYOND THAT WE DON'T DO ANY OUTSIDE CLEANING OF THE PROPERTY. IT'S JUST TO GET THEM A NEW MOBILE HOME, TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE SOMETHING THAT HAS GOOD LIVING CONDITIONS BECAUSE CURRENTLY IT'S IN PRETTY POOR
SHAPE. >> DR. HILSENBECK: HAVE YOU BEEN ON THE PROPERTY? HAVE YOU SEEN THE CURRENT
RESIDENCE THERE? >> SPEAKER: I HAVE SEEN IT.
>> DR. HILSENBECK: IS IT AS BAD A CONDITION AS THIS LETTER
MAKE IT SEEM, IN YOUR OPINION? >> SPEAKER: IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO A LOT OF MOBILE HOMES I SEE. THERE'S A -- THERE'S A TRAILER OUTSIDE. WHEN I IS A TRAILER, A TRAVEL TRAILER. THERE'S A FEW THINGS.
THERE'S A. EXTRA BIKES OUTSIDE AND SOME OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT.
>> DR. HILSENBECK: I SAW THE BIKES IN THAT PHOTO YOU SHOWED,
YEAH. >> AND BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING
THAT WAS CONSIDERED HAZARDOUS. >> DR. HILSENBECK: HOW DO YOU SELECT PROPERTIES OTHER THAN THAT THEY WERE DAMAGED BY HURRICANE MATTHEW IN 2016? HOW DO YOU SELECT THEM FOR
REPLACEMENT? >> SO OWNERS OF PROPERTY WHO
SUSTAIN DAMAGE, THEY COME IN. >> THEY FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, AND BASICALLY RE E. WE REVIEW THE APPLICATION, AND IF THEY QUALIFY FINANCIALLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO BE LOW TO MODERATE INCOME, AND AS LONG AS THEY QUALIFY AND WE DO A DAMAGE ASSESSMENT AND THE HOME HAS BEEN DAMAGED, THEN THEY QUALIFY.
SO BASICALLY ANYBODY WHO BRINGS IN ALL THE PAPERWORK AND QUALIFIES FINANCIALLY IS ACCEPTED.
>> DR. HILSENBECK: DIDN'T THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ABOUT A MONTH AGO DO SOME SORT OF BLANKET APPROVAL OF ALLOWING YOU TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT I THINK ON 122 LOTS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT? DID THAT JUST HAPPEN ABOUT A MONTH AGO?
>> SPEAKER: SO THIS IS A CDBG DR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT THROUGH DISASTER RECOVERY. HIS A DIFFERENT PROGRAM THAN A
REGULAR CDBG. >> DR. HILSENBECK: OKAY.
SO THAT DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION ABOUT THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. I THOUGHT I SAW SOMETHING THAT FOR WEST ST. AUGUSTINE, WEST AUGUSTINE AREA THAT THEY HAD DONE SOME BLANKET APPROVAL FOR I THINK 122 LOTS THAT I THOUGHT
THESE WERE PART OF THAT. >> SPEAKER: THESE ARE TOTALLY
SEPARATE. >> DR. HILSENBECK: OKAY.
>> MR. MATOVINA: ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? IF NOT, WE'LL MOVE INTO PUBLIC
SPEAKING. >> MS. PERKINS: ROGER SULLIVAN SULLIVAN. SPINCHTS HI THERE.
MY NAME IS ROGER SULL VIN I AM AT 232 OCEAN BOULEVARD, ALSO OWN THE HOUSE AT 228 OCEAN AND ANOTHER ONE AT 237 NORTH BOULEVARD IN THE JACK PARK NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE JACKSON PARK NEIGHBORHOOD OVER THE LAST ALTERNATIVELY EVER SEVERAL YEARS HAS BEEN IT IS WHAT IT IS, IT'S CLOSE TO THE PRISON. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF OLDER MOBILE HOMES IN THERE. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF ILL ISIT ACTIVITY THAT'S HAPPENED THERE OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
OVER THE LAST FEEF YEARS THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF NEW CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREA, PULLING OUT A LOT OF THESE ABANDONED AND
[00:35:01]
DILAPIDATED MOBILE HOMES AND BUILDINGS NICER, MORE AFFORDABLE THREE BEDROOM TWO BATH HOMES THAT ARE BEAUTIFUL.IT'S KIND OF A NICE QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY IS ONE OF THREE KNOWN PROBLEM HOUSES, KNOWN BY THE ST. JOHNS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.
THIS PARTICULAR RESIDENCE THAT IS HAD SEVERAL CALLS.
I BELIEVE WE WERE TOLL 14 CALLS IN THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVING TO DO WITH DRUGS AND DISTURBANCES. THERE'S BEEN HYPO DERMIC NEEDLES THAT HAVE BEEN FOUND BY NEIGHBORS OUT IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. THE SITE PLAN THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THAT, THERE IS NOT JUST A TRAVEL TRAILER. THERE IS ALL KINDS OF JUNK AND BROKEN-DOWN CARS AND DILAPIDATED CARS.
ON MY WAY HERE TODAY I JUST DROVE BY, AND OUT IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE STLS A BROKEN-DOWN VEHICLE ON JACKSON THAT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A LBS I. LICENSE PLATE ON IT AND IT'S BEEN THERE FOR WELL OVER A MONTH. THERE'S HIGH TRAFFIC THAT COMES THROUGH THIS AREA ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAY NIGHTS.
HOMELESS PEOPLE THAT ARE WALKING AROUND.
THERE'S BEEN RUMORS OF THE RESIDENT LIKE RENTING OUT PLACES ON HIS PROPERTY IN EXCHANGE FOR DRUGS AND EBT STAMPS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SO WE DON'T HAVE -- I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH -- I OBVIOUSLY WANT TO SEE THE NEIGHBOR CLEANED UP.
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GETTING A NEW STRUCTURE ON THERE. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE SOME CONDITIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CODE FORM OUT THERE AND HAVE THE LOT CLEANED UP BEFORE, BEFORE WE JUST GO AHEAD AND PUT A NEW MOBILE HOME ON THERE BECAUSE WHAT I FEAR IS GOING TO HAPPEN, WHAT THE NEIGHBORS FEAR IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS EVERYTHING THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE WAY IS JUST GOING TO GET MOVED OVER WITH ALL OF THE OTHER JUNK AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO SLIDE ANOTHER MOBILE HOME IN THERE AND WE'RE GOING TO BE AT THE SAME PLACE THAT WE HAVE.
SO MY SUGGESTION, MY HOPE WOULD BE THAT YOU WOULD DENY THIS PERMIT UNTIL CODE FORM CAN GET OUT THERE AND ACTUALLY MAYBE PUT SOME CONDITIONS ON THE APPROVAL OF THIS SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE HOME SO THAT THE BUYER NEIGHBORHOOD IS A BETTER PLACE FOR EVERYBODY. THANK YOU.
>> MS. PERKINS: BLAKELEY HUGHES.
>> SPEAKER: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, BOARD.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I'M BLAKELEY HUGHES.
HAVE A RESIDENCE AT 4668 SECOND AVENUE, 46 FIVE SECOND AVENUE, 4 SIX 27 SECOND AVENUE, 4638 SECOND AVENUE AND 4632 SECOND AVENUE. BELIEVE IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
I BUILT THOSE HOMES FOR LONG-TERM RENTAL.
I ACTUALLY MANAGE 650 HOME FOR NORTHWEST FINDERS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. IT'S A COMPANY I STARTED.
I GREW UP IN A TRAILER PARK. I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED. I BELIEVE IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
TO THAT BEING SAID I BUILT THESE HOMES TO RENT THEM OUT TO PROVIDE THIS. THIS HOUSE WAS A FLATTERING PICTURE THAT WAS DISPLAYED, THAT IS NOT THE HOUSE.
THE HOUSE IS A CONSISTENT SOURCE OF PROBLEM FOR THE NEIGHBORS, AND THE NEIGHBORS IN THAT COMMUNITY, A LOT OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY FEARFUL OF COMING HERE TODAY BECAUSE THEY FEAR RETRIBUTION, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO LIVE IN FEAR.
THE HOME HAS PUT UP A METAL FENCE IN FRONT OF IT WITH ROOF PANEL THAT WERE ACTUALLY TAKEN FROM ONE OF THE PROPERTIES THAT I BUILT, SO YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT'S GOING ON BEHIND PIPTD IF YOU DRIVE THROUGH THERE ON A FRIDAY OR SAT EVENING, YOU SEE PEOPLE ON BIKES COMING IN, PEOPLE ON BIKES COMING.
IF YOU PULL UP TO THEM, THEY SHINE FLASHLIGHTS IN YOUR EYES.
I JUST -- NO REASON TO EXAGGERATE WHATSOEVER.
ON EITHER SIDE OF THIS HOME ARE NICE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, 32.
ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS TRAILER ARE NICE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT ARE THREE-TWO. THERE IS A ONE TRAILER ON THE CORNER AND A TRAILER ACROSS THE STREET, BUT IF YOU DRIVE THROUGH THIS NEIGHBORHOOD YOURSELVES ON THE WAY HOME TONIGHT, TRAILERS ARE KEPT CLEAN. THEY'RE IMIECHT HEAVE BEEN THERE A LONG TIME. THEY'RE GOOD PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS. AND I WOULD AGREE WITH THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER, ROGER, WHERE AGAIN I'M FINE FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND I THINK WHAT YOU'RE GOING IS COMMENDABLE AND IT'S AN INCREDIBLE PROGRAM. THAT BEING SAID, I FEEL LIKE YOU APPROVING THIS IS JUST GOING TO ENABLE THE BEHAVIOR OF THIS PROPERTY AND THE PROBLEMS AT THIS PROPERTY.
THERE'S A SINGLE TRAILER AND THERE'S TWO OR THREE RVS.
THERE ARE TONS OF JUNK, BROKEN-DOWN CARS, PIECES AND IF YOU GO ON GOOGLE MAPS IT'S PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE.
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRAILER.
THAT BEING SAID THERE ARE HYPO DERMIC NEEDLES.
THIS IS PUBLIC RECORD THERE STRNL SHERIFF'S OFFICE P.
THEY HAVE TESTIFIED THE NEEDLES AND THEY TEST POSITIVE FOR METH AND THERE ARE THREE HOMES IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I'M IN CONTACT WITH JSO ON. I RECORDED A VIDEO YESTERDAY OF A LADY RIDING AWAY ON A BIKE SCREAMING ABOUT HER METH BEING STOLEN. SO JACKSON PARK RESIDENTS ARE GOOD RESIDENTS, AND NO ONE'S EVER BEEN AN ADVOCATE OF THAT
[00:40:03]
COMMUNITY, NO ONE'S EVER CARED ABOUT THAT COMMUNITY, AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO IMPLEMENT NEIGHBORHOOD WATCHES, ET CETEA.BUT I THINK APPROVING THIS UNTIL CONDITIONS ARE MET LIKE, HEY, ALL THIS JUNK NEEDS TO COME OUT OF HERE ME.
ALREADY SAID THEY'RE ONLY PAYING FOR THE FOOTPRINT.
THE FOOTPRINT IS NOT THE PROBLEM.
IT'S EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE PROPERTY.
THANK YOU. >> MR. MATOVINA: SIR, BEFORE YOU GO, AND THIS IS UNUSUAL FOR ME TO ASK A PUBLIC SPEAKER A QUESTION, BUT IF WE VOTE TO NOT REPLACE THE MOBILE HOME, HOW DOES THAT IMPROVE YOUR SITUATION IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD?
>> SPEAKER: I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE -- IT DOESN'T IMPROVE THE SITUATION, BUT I THINK PUTTING A NEW MOBILE HOME THERE, MORE ROOMS TO RENT TO VAGRANTS AND ADDICTS COULD
ACTUALLY AMPLIFY OUR PROBLEMS. >> MR. MATOVINA: GOT IT.
>> SPEAKER: RIGHT NOW THERE'S LIMITED SPACE.
>> MR. MATOVINA: WELL, THANK YOU.
DR. HILSENBECK. >> DR. HILSENBECK: I HAVE A QUESTION I GUESS OF MS. BISHOP OR OUR COUNTY ATTORNEY.
WE HAVE THE TEN CONDITIONS AND EIGHT FINDINGS OF FACT IF WE APPROVE THIS, BUT CAN WE PUT ANOTHER CONDITION ON THIS, THAT CODE FORM NEEDS TO GO OUT THERE AND -- CODE ENFORCEMENT NEEDS TO GET THIS PROPERTY CLEANED UP BEFORE MR. FREEMAN CAN PROCEED WITH REPLACING THE MOBILE HOME? IS THAT SOMETHING WE CAN DO?
>> TERESA BISHOP: CODE ENFORCEMENT HAS BEEN OUT THERE IF THIS IS THE PROPERTY. I BELIEVE IT IS.
CODE ENFORCEMENT HAS BEEN OUT THERE.
THERE'S BEEN COMPLAINTS FILED AGAINST THE PROPERTY.
IT'S BEEN INVESTIGATED, THOSE COMPLAINTS HAVE NOT BEEN VALID OR THEY'VE BEEN FOUND IN COMPLIANCE, SO -- AND WITH RESPECT TO THE METH AND THE DRUG USE, THAT'S THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT, AND IT'S STRICTLY UP TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE FOR THOSE MATTERS.
THE CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED, THAT THEY HAVE GONE OUT THERE. ANYONE CAN GO IN AND MAKE A PRIDE COMPLAINT ONLINE, THEY CAN GO IN, THEY CAN MAKE THOSE CONCERNS AND CODE ENFORCEMENT WILL GO OUT AND CHECK IT.
>> DR. HILSENBECK: GOOD ANSWER.
THANK YOU. >> MR. MATOVINA: ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? I HAVE ONE QUESTION OF THE APPLICANT, WHICH IS THAT FENCE ACROSS THE FRONT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ABOUT 6 FEET TALL.
DOES THAT SOUND ABOUT RIGHT? >> SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT.
>> MR. MATOVINA: BOW DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT FENCE IS IN THE
FRONT YARD? >> SPEAKER: I HAVEN'T DONE A
SURVEY TO VERIFY THAT. >> MR. MATOVINA: HAS THAT BEEN ONE OF OUR PRIDE COMPLAINTS, DO WE KNOW?
>> SPEAKER: THAT'S NOT ONE OF THE ONES.
I ALONG THIS MORNING AT WHAT THE PRIDE COMPLAINTS WERE.
THEY DID NOT INVOLVE THE FENCE. >> TERESA BISHOP: THE PLANNER THAT WORKED ON THIS ITEM SAID THE FENCE HAS NOT BEEN ONE OF
THE PRIDE COMPLAINTS. >> MR. MATOVINA: OKAY.
PERHAPS IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE IF IT'S IN THE FRONT YARD, IT'S NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH OUR CODE, AS I UNDERSTAND IT.
IS THAT CORRECT? >> TERESA BISHOP: IT IS WITHIN THE FRONT SETBACK, THEN NO, SIR IT IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE.
IT WOULD NEED TO BE 4-FOOT. IF IT'S 25 FEET BACK, IF THIS PROPERTY IS UNDER RS-3, THEN, YES, IT WOULD BE IN COMPLIANCE
AT THAT POINT. >> MR. MATOVINA: ALL RIGHT.
OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? IF NOT WE'RE BACK INTO THE AGENCY FOR A MOTION. MS. PERKINS.

ANY DISCUSSION? REGISTER THE VOTE.
THAT MOTION PASSES 5-0. NUMBER 9.
>> SPEAKER: ITEM NUMBER 9. REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR A MOBILE HOME UNIT ON-SITE.
THIS IS LOCATE AT 201 NORTH ORANGE STREET.
IT HAS TWO PROPERTIES, LOT 8 AND LOT 9, UNDER PUN ONE PARCEL NUMBER. SO REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR A MANUFACTURED MANUFACTURED/MOBILE HOME AS A RESIDENCE IN A RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY RG 2 ZONING PURSUANT TO LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 2.03 .08. THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY VACANT AND COUNTY OWNED THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES CONSISTENT OF BOTH SITE BUILT AND MOBILE HOMES. ADJACENT MOBILE HOMES ARE LOCATED AT 304 EAST LATIN STREET AND 108 OARNTH ORANGE STREET.
A SPECIAL USE PER MUTT IS BEING REQUESTED TO PROVIDE RESTORE STRJ TO LOCATED A MOBILE HOME ON THE PROPERTY SHOULD IT BE WARRANTED. IF IT IS INTO THE WARRANTED THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT WILL END AFTER ONE YEAR.
SO THIS -- I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BETTER EXPLANATION.
IT'S KIND OF A BACKUP PLAN. SOME OF THESE PROPERTIES ARE DIFFICULT TO PERMIT FOR VARIOUS REASONS.
IN SOME CASES WE HAVE HAD PROPERTIES THAT ARE OWNED BY MULTIPLE FAMILY MEMBERS AND SOMETIMES IF YOU'RE TRYING TO GET A SPECIAL USE PERMIT OR EVEN GET A BUILDING PERMIT TO PUT THE MOBILE HOME, IF YOU DON'T GET ALL THE SIGNATURES NOTARIZED FROM ALL THE FAMILY MEMBERS, YOU CAN'T MOVE FORWARD.
[00:50:01]
ALSO, THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE PEOPLE IN THIS PROGRAM WHO THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BACK OUT.THEY JUST DEPONENT WANT TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.
THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO MOVE OUT, BE RELOCATED AND MOVE INTO A NEW HOME. AND WE MAY END UP HAVING A LEFTOVER MOBILE HOME AT THE END OF OUR PROGRAM.
SO WHAT THIS BASICALLY DOES, IT JUST GIVES US THE OPTION IN CASE WE CAN'T PUT A MOBILE HOME ON AN EXISTING PROPERTY.
IF WE GET A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, THIS AT LEAST GIVES US A BACKUP PLAN. AT THIS POINT WE DON'T HAVE ANY THAT ARE ACTUALLY SCHEDULED TO MOVE ON-SITE, AND WE'RE HOPING WE DON'T HAVE TO, BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE ABACK-UP PLAN, WE COULD JUST HAVE A MOBILE HOME JUST SITTING IN A PARKING LOT SOMEWHERE AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT SO THIS IS JUST GIVING US AN OPTION. AND THIS ISN'T HASTINGS.
HERE'S THE AERIAL MAP. YOU CAN SEE THE TWO SITES OUTLINE IN YELLOW. AND HERE'S THE LOCATION MAP.
HERE'S OUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S RESIDENTIAL D. AND OUR CURRENT ZONING MAP IS RG-2. AND HERE ARE OUR ADJACENT MOBILE HOMES OUTLINED IN RED AND YOU CAN SEE THE TWO PROPERTIES OUTLINED IN BLUE. AND HERE IS A SITE PLAN SHOWING A MOBILE HOME ON LOT 8, WHAT IT COULD LOOK LIKE IF WE NEED TO DO THIS. AND THIS IS LOTS 9 AND 10 BECAUSE THE LAST ITEM IS ONE OF THE OTHER LOTS, AND I'LL SHOW THAT YOU WHEN WE GET TO THAT. BUT THAT'S MY LAST SLIDE.
>> MR. MATOVINA: ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? ANY SPEAKER CARDS? BACK INTO THE AGENCY FOR A MOTION. MS. PERKINS.

ITEM NUMBER 10. >> SPEAKER: 10.
>> SPEAKER: WHAT WE DID IS ITEM NUMBER 10, WE REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR ALLOW FOR A MOBILE HOME UNIT ON SITE LOCATE AT 205 NORTH ORANGE STREET, 205 NOARTSZ ORANGE STREET INCLUDES LOT 10 WHICH YOU SAW IN A PREVIOUS SLIDE.

AND THESE ARE THE ADJACENT MOBILE HOMES OUTLINED IN RED, AND THE CURRENT SITE IS OUTLINED IN BLUE.
