GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING. SHERRY BADGER, 2772 S. COLLINS AVENUE, SAINT AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA. YOU ALL KNOW I HAVE MY OWN STUFF, BUT A COMMENT WAS MADE BY ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS LAST WEEK SAID THAT YOU DID NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER THIS CITY. LET ME WAKE YOU ALL UP TO BUT THE CITY IS DOING.

THE CITY RIGHT DOWN HERE ON LEWIS SPEEDWAY IN BETWEEN THE LITTLE STRIP MALL AND THE BRIDGE APPROVED 100 HOMES. THEY DID NO IMPACT STUDY, THEY DID NO TRAFFIC STUDY.

THAT PROPERTY WAS ANNEXED TO THE COUNTY TO THE CITY BACK IN 2000.

YOU ALL STILL NEED TO BE STEWARDS OF THE PAST, OKAY? THE CITY HAS GIVEN AWAY THEIR WHOLE TAX BASE JUST ABOUT TO FLAGLER COLLEGE. FLAGLER COLLEGE NOW RUNS THE CITY OF ST. AUGUSTINE. NOW, THEY HAVE RUN OUT OF THE TAX BASE.

THEY DON'T CARE IF THEY OVER POPULATE YOUR SCHOOLS. ONE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS BACK THEN SAID, OH, WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING MONEY FROM DEVELOPERS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY LAND TO BUILD ANY SCHOOLS IN THE CITY. THIS IS YOUR JOB JUST AS MUCH TO BE STEWARDS AS THE CITY AS IT IS TODAY COUNTY, BECAUSE RIGHT THERE BEHIND SAINT AUGUSTINE HIGH SCHOOL, THEY WANT TO PUT 100 HOMES. 100 RIGHT THERE.

THAT CORNER IS CONGESTED ENOUGH, AND YOU ALL NEED TO BE GOOD STEWARDS OF THE COUNTY AND TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY THE LAND THAT YOU ANNEXED INTO THE CITY, YOU AS A WHOLE, YOU AS A GOVERNMENT, NOT YOU INDIVIDUALLY. JUST LIKE WHEN I TOLD YOU RIGHT DOWN THERE ON STATE ROUTE 16 AND MASTERS DRIVE, THEY WERE GOING TO BUILD A GAS STATION WITH 10 GAS PUMPS. THAT'S GOING TO ADD AT LEAST 500 TRIPS PER DAY TO THAT CORNER. YOU ALL NEED TO WAKE UP. THANK YOU.

GOD BLESS YOU. HAVE A GOOD DAY. >> COMMISSIONER DEAN: THANK YOU. CALLERS ÃYES. WE HAVE A CALLER.

GO AHEAD IF YOU ARE ON THE CALL >> TOM REYNOLDS 50 PREHEATING CT., ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH, FLORIDA. GOOD MORNING COMMISSIONERS. THIS MORNING, I WOULD LIKE TO GO OVER SOMETHING VERY QUICKLY WITH YOU. CHAPTER 838, BRIBERY, USE OF OFFICES. OFFICIAL CONDUCT. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR A PUBLIC SERVANT OR A PUBLIC CONTRACTOR TO KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY OBTAIN A BENEFIT FOR ANY PERSON OR TO CAUSE UNLAWFUL HARM TO ANOTHER BY FALSIFYING OR CAUSING ANOTHER PERSON TO FALSIFY ANY OFFICIAL RECORD OR OFFICIAL DOCUMENT CONCEALING, COVERING UP, DESTROYING OR MUTILATING OR ALTERING ANY OFFICIAL RECORD OR OFFICIAL DOCUMENT EXCEPT AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW OF CONTRACT. C OBSTRUCTING OR PREVENTING COMMUNICATION OF INFORMATION RELATING TO THE COMMISSION OF A FELONY THAT DIRECTLY INVOLVES OR DIRECTS THE GOVERNMENT

[00:10:04]

BUT THIS CONDUCT IS TAKING PLACE IN ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME. WHY I WANT TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU IS BECAUSE I DON'T EVER SEE ANY OF YOU COMMISSIONERS INTERFERING WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT COMPLAINTS LIKE IN ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH WHEN THE COMMISSIONER INTERFERED WITH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT, TWO SEPARATE COMPLAINTS. THAT'S A FELONY. I WANT TO POINT THIS OUT TO YOU BECAUSE ROBERT WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS, AND HE REFUSED ÃHE REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE OR CRIMINALLY CHARGE ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL. SO THAT'S WHAT I WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE OF. I DON'T SEE ANYBODY DOING IT. WHAT I JUST HEARD FROM LIZ CHERRY IS SHE'S CORRECT ABOUT THE OLD CITY. WHAT A CORRUPT DIRTY CITY THAT IS. OVER HERE ON THE BEACH WE HAVE SHEER CORRUPTION AND CRIMINAL CONDUCT NOT ONLY FROM COMMISSIONERS BUT FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE AND POLICE OFFICERS. I WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TAKING THE PUBLIC COMMENT AND TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY INTERFERE WITH ANY CODE ENFORCEMENT COMPLAINTS IN THE EIGHT YEARS I'VE BEEN HANGING AROUND THE COUNTY COMMISSION MEETINGS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND HAVE A GOOD DAY.

>> COMMISSIONER DEAN: THANKS, TOM. ANY OTHER CALL ENDS? SHOWING NONE. WE ARE DONE WITH COLLINS. FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT FROM THE AUDIENCE? WE WILL START HERE AND GO TO CJ.

>> HOW IS EVERYBODY DOING? MY NAME IS MARCO. I AM HERE ÃI WAS HERE LAST

WEEK IN REGARDS TO THE CONTACT TRACING. >> COMMISSIONER DEAN: WOULD YOU

GIVE YOUR ADDRESS? >> 135 ASHLEY LANDING WAY, ST. AUGUSTINE.

WHEN WE STOOD UP THIS MORNING, WE SET A PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE WITH JUSTICE AND LIBERTY FOR ALL, CORRECT? THE DEFINITION AND ITSELF OF LIBERTY IS FREEDOM.

FREEDOM FROM OPPRESSION, POLITICAL MOVES, ACTIONS, CORRECT?O WITH LOOKING INTO THIS WHOLE CONTACT TRACING, I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING IT VERY CLOSELY WITH THE HR 6666 UP AND WASHINGTON, THE CONTACT TRACING ACT. I HAVE FOUND OUT WE HAVE QUARANTINE CAMPS IN THE UNITED STATES. I NEVER KNEW THAT.

I DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE PUTTING PEOPLE IN CAMPS FOR A 99 PERCENT SURVIVAL RATE.

AND WE HAD WAY OTHER FLUS THAT HAVE COME THROUGH THAT ARE FAR WORSE.

I MEAN, THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE. THEY NEVER HAVE. SO I SAW AN INTERESTING HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION THAT I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME CLARITY ON.

IT WAS ABOUT MY CHILD. I HAVE A FIVE-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER.

SHE IS ABOUT TO ATTEND SCHOOL COMING UP. SO HYPOTHETICALLY, YOUR KID GOES TO SCHOOL AND SHE SAYS, TEACHER, I DON'T FEEL GOOD. I HAVE A RUNNY NOSE.

I DON'T FEEL GOOD. I NEED TO GO HOME FOR WHATEVER REASON.

AND THE TEACHER SAYS, OKAY. I MEAN, ARE THEY GOING TO TAKE MY KID WANTS TO GIVE US POWER TO THE STATE ÃWE ARE SORRY, YOUR KID IS NOW WITH THE STATE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY KID IS WITH A STATE? WELL, SHE WAS HAVING SYMPTOMS. WE HAD TO QUARANTINE CAMPER IN THE UNITED STATES. WHAT DO YOU MEAN? THAT'S MY KID.

NO. THE COVID ACT SAYS WE HAVE TO TAKE YOUR KID AND WE HAVE TO PUT HER AWAY AND A FACILITY FOR 14 DAYS YOU NEED TO GO HOME AND SELF ISOLATE.

I MEAN, AM I LIVING IN ÃWHAT'S THAT?984, THE GEORGE ORWELL? WE ARE GOING TO CONTACT TRACING PEOPLE? I GO TO FLAGLER COLLEGE AND I HEARD THERE CONTACT TRACING.

I DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD THAT'S GOING TO WORK OUT FOR MY PERSONAL STUFF, BUT THIS IS REALLY SCARY STUFF. AND IT'S GETTING MORE SCARY. HE HOSPITALS, THEY NOW HAVE A 2.1 PERCENT HOSPITALIZATION RATE ON THIS THING. LOCATES, DOCTOR VANGIE CAME OUT YESTERDAY AND SAID IT WILL BE RIGHT AROUND ELECTION TIME WHEN IT'S OVER.

WE ARE IMPLEMENTING ON THIS STUFF, ALL OF THESE CRAZY OVERREACHING AT A MINIMUM Ã WHEN I CAN THINK OF A BASIC 3.6 ÃHOWEVER MUCH WE GOT MILLION DOLLARS.

WHY DON'T WE DO SOMETHING LIKE PUT IT INTO THE ROADWAYS. I'VE BEEN AROUND HERE FOR 15

[00:15:02]

YOU ARE JUMPING ON THE CRATER OF THE MOON AND I DON'T THINK A CITY COULD SURVIVE TOO LONG IF IT DOESN'T START WITH THE BASIC NECESSITIES SUCH AS ROADWAYS. SO I HOPE YOU TAKE THIS AND I

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> COMMISSIONER DEAN: THANK YOU, SIR.

>> BJ KALAIDI. WHEN I CAME INTO THIS BUILDING THIS MORNING, THEY MADE ME TAKE A MASK AND I MAY BE PUT IT ON. THE EXCEPTION IS IF YOU ARE SIX FEET AWAY YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THAT. AND I SPOKE WITH A STAFF MEMBER AND THEY WERE GOING TO CLARIFY THAT WITH THE STAFF THAT DID THAT. I DON'T FAULT THE STAFF.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE THAT MAY BE LISTENING TO THIS UNDERSTANDS IF YOU ARE SIX FEET AWAY YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WEAR A MASK. AND THAT IS NOT CLEAR ENOUGH BECAUSE I HAVE HAD OTHER SITUATIONS, AND I AM ALWAYS STAYING AWAY AND BEING RESPECTFUL OF PEOPLE. SO I WANTED THAT ON THE RECORD AND MR. CONRAD CAME OVER AND SPOKE WITH ME AFTER I SPOKE WITH ANOTHER STAFF MEMBER. BUT IT NEEDS TO BE REALLY CLARIFIED THAT IF YOU ARE SIX FEET AWAY THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THAT.

AND SOME PEOPLE NEED THAT BECAUSE OF BREATHING ISSUES. SO I WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR TODAY. AND IN LISTENING TO THIS SHARING, THE CITY OF SAINT AUGUSTINE IS ANNEXING MANY PROPERTIES ON U.S. 1 AND U.S. 12 AND WHEREVER THE DEVELOPERS ECAUSE THE CITY OF SAINT AUGUSTINE IS NOT AS STRICT AND IN OVERSEEING AS DILIGENTLY AS THE COUNTY HAS IN THE PAST AND THAT'S WHY BECAUSE OUR TAX BASE IS SUPPOSEDLY BEING INCREASED BY THAT BUT IT'S ALSO A PROBLEM WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING.

I ALSO WANT TO BRING UP WHAT I DID A FEW WEEKS AGO AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND I HAVE THIS EXPLAINED TO ME BY THE STAFF AND THEY ARE ONLY DOING WHAT THEY ARE TOLD TO DO.

THESE DEVELOPERS AND LAWYERS THAT ARE HAVING THEIR NAMES PUT ON THE AGENDA TO MAKE A PRESENTATION ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.

THEY DON'T NEED FREE ADVERTISING BY US AS TAXPAYERS. THE STAFF WILL BE HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS AFTER THE PRESENTATION. I THINK THIS IS BACKWARDS.

I DON'T THINK THE DEVELOPERS SHOULD HAVE THAT MUCH POWER WITH THEIR LAWYERS TO COME IN HERE AND DO WHAT THEY DO TO THIS COUNTY AND OTHER PLACES IN ST. JOHNS COUNTY.

SO I WILL CONTINUE TO BRING THAT UP, AND I LOOK TO THE STAFF.

I DON'T LOOK TO OUTSIDE LAWYERS. I DON'T LOOK TO OUTSIDE DEVELOPERS. BECAUSE THEIR BOTTOM LINE IS ALL THEY ARE TRULY INTERESTED IN. I HAVE SAT IN THESE MEETINGS AND SEEN THEM PARTICIPATE.

WE PAY OUR STAFF. AND I RESPECT THEM MORE THAN I DO THE DEVELOPERS BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THEY COME IN AND WANT ONE THING AND THEN WHEN I COME BACK THREE YEARS LATER AND THEY USE THE VIRUS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO STOP THEM TO LET THEM CHANGE THINGS.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND HAVE A GREAT DAY. >> ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT

FROM THE AUDIENCE? ANY OTHER COMMENTS? >> DAVID MCKNIGHT 3024 ST.

JOHNS. I JUST WANTED TO SAY A FEW THINGS ABOUT MASKS AS WELL. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THIS BOARD IS NOT PAST A MASK MANDATE IN ST. JOHNS COUNTY AND I APPLAUD YOU FOR DOING SO.

MASKS ARE UNNECESSARY. I WROTE THIS EMAIL AUGUST 11. THE NUMBERS HAVE PROBABLY CHANGED A BIT BUT NOT APPRECIABLY SINCE THAT DATE. AT THAT TIME FROM WHAT I CAN FIND THERE HAVE BEEN 3666 Ã EXCUSE ME Ã3660 POSITIVE CASES OF COVID IN ST. JOHNS COUNTY.

THE POPULATION NUMBER, I FOUND, FOR ST. JOHNS COUNTY WAS 264,072.

THAT MEANS 1.38 PERCENT OF THE COUNTY HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED POSITIVE WITH COEVID.

1.3 PERCENT. 98.61 PERCENT OF THE COUNTY HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH COEVID.

SO IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO WEAR A FACEMASK WITH THOSE NUMBERS. THE JUSTIFICATION FOR WEARING A

[00:20:08]

IF I DON'T HAVE COVID I AM NOT PROTECTING ANYONE FROM ANYTHING.

SO IF YOU TAKE THAT ONE STEP FURTHER, YOU TELL ME I HAVE TO WEAR A FACEMASK BECAUSE I AM PROTECTING OTHERS, WHEN THE LIKELIHOOD IS THAT I DON'T HAVE COVID BECAUSE IF I DON'T KNOW I HAVE ATTACHED MANY PEOPLE ARE ASYMPTOMATIC. SO THE JUSTIFICATION IS I AM PROTECTING OTHERS FROM SOMETHING THAT I MIGHT HAVE THAT I DON'T KNOW.

YOU TAKE THAT TO THE NEXT LOGICAL STEP AND YOU SAY IF I HAVE COVID AND I KNOW WHAT I CAN PUT A MASK ON AND GO ANYWHERE WANT TO. I DON'T HAVE TO WAIT 14 DAYS FOR ANYTHING. IF I DON'T KNOW I HAVE IT IN A MASK PROTECTS OTHERS, IF I KNOW I HAVE IT, THE MASK ALSO PROTECTS OTHERS. SO GENERALLY, 80 PERCENT OF THE DEATHS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY ARE PEOPLE AGE 65 AND OLDER. AND 30 PERCENT OF ALL OF THE DEATHS IN THE COUNTRY ARE NEW YORK/NEW JERSEY.T. JOHNS COUNTY, FLORIDA DOES NOT NEED PANYTHING LIKE WHATEVER THEY HAVE TO DO ANY WORK AND NEW JERSEY.

IF YOU ARE UNDER 65 ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY AND HEALTHY, YOUR CHANCES OF DYING FROM COVID ARE ALMOST NONEXISTENT. WE DO NOT NEED A MASK MANDATE IN ST. JOHNS COUNTY.

>> COMMISSIONER DEAN: THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT FROM THE AUDIENCE? OKAY. I THINK THAT'S PUBLIC COMMENT

>> WITH PUBLIC COMMENT NOW CLOSED ÃMR. CHAIR, AS I HAVE IN THE LAST SEVERAL MEETINGS, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME COMMUNICATIONS TO THE ST. JOHNS COUNTY PUBLIC HEARING EMAIL AND THERE'S JUST TOO THAT I WANTED TO MENTION. ONE PERTAINED TO OPENING THE SCHOOLS NOW WHICH IS REALLY KIND OF A SCHOOL FOR A MATTER OF JURISDICTION, BUT IS ADVOCATING FOR THAT. THERE IS ANOTHER EMAIL I THINK KIND OF ECHOING MR. MCKNIGHT HAS NOT COMMENTS ABOUT NO MASK MANDATE AND SOME STATISTICS. THIS WILL BE PUT INTO THE

RECORD. >> IF I MAY, MR. CHAIRMAN. I BELIEVE THOSE OF YOU ON THE FRONT ROW WILL RAISE YOUR HAND. WE HAVE ÃI THOUGHT YOU WERE HERE ON ITEMS WHEN AND TO WHICH WE WILL TAKE THAT MANY WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO GIVE COMMENT ON THOSE ITEMS. THE EARLIER PUBLIC COMMENT WAS GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA FOR CLEAR COMING UP VERY SHORTLY TO ITEMS ONE AND TO AND YOU WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.

>> ON AUGUST 12, 10:30, I MET WITH ELLEN AVERY SMITH, JOHN METCALF AND CODY HUDSON.

I HAVE NOT LISTED ON ITEM 2. I ALSO HAD A PHONE CONVERSATIONS AND MEETINGS WITH JIM REINHART WITH THE CASCADES AND THERE WERE A COUPLE OF EMAILS I RECEIVED THIS MORNING REGARDING

[00:25:06]

THE ITEMS. >> OKAY. COMMISSIONER BLOCKER?

>> COMMISSIONER BLOCKER: I HAD A TELECONFERENCE THURSDAY, AUGUST 13 WITH MISS ELLEN AVERY SMITH AND JOHN METCALF AND MR. CODY HUDSON. WE DISCUSSED THE SOAP SCOPE OF THE PROJECT AND ANSWERED SOME OF MY QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO THE SCOPE OF IT.

CONSIDERING THE START DATE AND THAT'S FOR ITEMS ONE AND TWO. >> COMMISSIONER SMITH:

COMMISSIONER JOHNS? >> COMMISSIONER JOHNS: ON AUGUST 13 I MET WITH ALL THREE ABOUT THE MODIFICATIONS THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED. WE DISCUSSED THE CONCERNS EXPRESIDENTS NEARBY AND HOW THO CONCERNS WERE ADDRESSED.

AND THE TIMING OF THE CHANGES PROPOSED >> ALL RIGHT. HAVE A DISCLOSURE TO MAKE AS WELL. ON AUGUST 13 AT 8:30 I MET WITH MS. ELLEN AVERY SMITH, JOHN METCALF AND CODY HUDSON AND OUR STAFF, MISS ALICE MORRIS AND TERESA BISHOP.

WE DID A VERY EXTENSIVE OVERVIEW OF THE APPLICATION AND ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL AND NOTHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT'S IN OUR OWN BOOK. WE DISCUSSED THE INCLUSION AND PEXCLUSIONS OF THE PROPERTY INCLUDING THE OBSERVATION PROPERTY DESCRIPTION THAT WAS CAUSING SOME CONCERNS WITH RESIDENTS IN THE CASCADES AND ALSO THE CONNECTION FOR LEO MAGUIRE AND THAT SHOULD COVER WHAT I HAVE IN EX PARTE THIS MORNING.

WE WILL MOVE ALONG TO AGENDA ITEMS NUMBER ONE AND TWO. MRS. SMITH.

>> GOOD MORNING, MR. CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSIONERS. GOOD TO SEE HER.

ELLEN AVERY SMITH, ROGERS TOWERS. SAINT AUGUSTINE.

AND WITH ME TODAY FROM THE DEVELOPERS OF THE SOWER WITH OUR CODY HUDSON AND JOHN METCALF. JUST AS AN OVERVIEW AND I'M GOING TO GO TO THE PRESENTATION. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN SOME COMMENTS AND INTEREST FROM RESIDENTS OF THE CASCADES, SO I AM ÃAND I THINK SOME OF THEM ARE HERE SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO ADDRESS THOSE AS WE GO TO THE PRESENTATION. JUST BY WAY OF BACKGROUND FOR EVERYBODY WHO IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE HISTORY OF SILVERLEAF, SILVERLEAF INCLUDES ALL OF THE LAND. THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT PARTS I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH ÃTHIS WILL BE A COMBINED PRESENTATION WE ARE SEEKING TO MODIFY THE SILVERLEAF PUD. I'M GOING TO ADDRESS BOTH AS BECAUSE OF THE PRESENTATION.

AGAIN, THE SILVERLEAF PROPERTY INCLUDES THE RED. THIS RED PROPERTY THAT TOUCHES I-95 TO THE EAST AND YOU SEE THE FIRST COAST EXPRESSWAY THAT WILL COME THROUGH EVENTUALLY AND IT ALSO INCLUDES THIS LITTLE PIECE IS CALLED GRAND CREEK.

GRAND CREEK IS WITHIN THE DRI BUT NOTHING WE WILL DISCUSS TODAY IS BEING CHANGED WITH RESPECT TO GRAND CREEK. THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF MOST OF SILVERLEAF IS RESIDENTIAL C. YOU HAVE MIXED USE WHERE THERE'S GOING TO BE NONRESIDENTIAL USES AND IMPORTANTLY FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE CASCADES, YOU WILL NOTE THAT THIS PROPERTY ALSO WITHIN SILVERLEAF BECAUSE HERE IS THE BOUNDARY IS WILL WILL SILVERCULTURE LAND USE.

SO THE PROPERTY IS ANOTHER CONSERVATION EASEMENT IN FAVOR OF THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RESIDENTIAL C ARE MIXED-USE DESIGNATIONS AND IS BEING SET ASIDE FOR CONSERVATION AND WE WILL TALK IN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DETAILS OF WHAT'S GOING ON THERE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

THE ZONING FOR GRAND CREEK IS PUD FOR SILVERLEAF. THIS BLUE AREA IS PUD ALREADY.

THIS PROPERTY, AGAIN, ADJACENT TO ÃHERE IS THE CASCADES, HERE IS OVERALL.

IT'S NOT BEING ADDED INTO PUD AND NOT BE MODIFIED IN ANY WAY BY THIS APPLICATION.

SILVERLEAF PROPER, THIS PROJECT WHICH IS THE MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE DRI SHOWS THIS WHOLE AREA BEING LEFT IN CONSERVATION. ABOUT 1100 ACRES OF THIS LAND IS SUBJECT TO A TIMBER LEASE THAT PREDATED THE EASEMENT SO THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT BY ITS TERMS ALLOWS SOME TIMBERING AND THERE HAS BEEN TIMBERING ACTIVITY, BUT IT IS NOT GOING TO BE CLEAR-CUT. IT'S JUST TIMBERED AS PERMITTED IN THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT.

THERE WILL BE NO DEVELOPMENT IN THE HUDSON'S HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD AND COGNIZANT OF THE FACT

[00:30:06]

SILVERLEAF CURRENTLY INCLUDES 10,700 RESIDENTIAL UNITS WHICH INCLUDE 3900 MULTIFAMILY AND 1600 SINGLE-FAMILY UNITS AND INCLUDES ABOUT 1.1 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL, 300,000 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE AND 330,000 SQUARE FEET OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL SPACE. SO ÃAND I AM GOING TO GO THROUGH AGAIN.

YOU CAN SEE IN THE AREAS OF THE MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN MAP AT TOWN CENTER, IS IT A MIXED-USE DISTRICT PROPERTIES WHICH ARE EMPTY AND THE SCHOOL SITES ARE AND LAVENDER.

ALL OF THE RESIDENTIAL SITES ARE IN EITHER THIS LIKE HELLO OR THE STAND.HE GREEN IS OPEN SPACE AND CONSERVATION. THE PROPOSED MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN, THIS IS FOR THE VRI, THIS STAYS THE SAME NO DEVELOPMENT NEXT TO THE CASCADES. THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE BEING CHANGED AND CONFIGURATION ARE OUTLINED IN RED SO THIS SCHOOL AND PARK SITE HERE, SOME OF THE MIXED-USE SITES IN THIS AREA AND SOME OF THE RESIDENTIAL DOWN IN HERE.

AGAIN, NOTHING TOUCHING THE CASCADES. AND THEN THIS IS THE MAP FOR THE PUD REZONING APPLICATION. NOTICE THIS PROPERTY IS NOT EVEN WITHIN THE PUD.

ZONING IS OPEN WILL END IT WILL REMAIN THAT WAY. SO YOU SEE AGAIN THE RESIDENTIAL USES, THE CONSERVATION LAND AND GREEN WITHIN THE PUD.

THE TOWN CENTER USES, THE MIXED-USE USES, THE SCHOOL SITES, THE PARK SITES ARE IN THE SLIDER GREEN. AND THERE'S ANOTHER PARK SITE OUT HERE.

AND SO AGAIN, NO CHANGES HERE. EVEN IN THE PUD. SO BOTH OF THESE APPLICATIONS SEEK TO INCREASE THE RETAIL COMMERCIAL SQUARE FOOTAGE FROM ABOUT 1.9 MILLION TO 2 MILLION SQUARE FEET AND FACE THE OFFICE FROM 300,000 SQUARE FEET TO 650,000 SQUARE FEET.

ADD 300,000 SQUARE FEET OF HOSPITAL SPACE BAPTIST MEDICAL CENTER HAS PURCHASED LAND AND SILVERLEAF FOR MEDICAL USES THAT CAN INCLUDE A HOSPITAL, AND SO THAT'S RECOGNIZING THE FACTS FROM THE GROUND. WE ARE ALSO INCORPORATING LEGISLATIVE CHANGES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN GRANTED BY THE STATE AS A MATTER OF LAW. MERELY REVISING THE LAND IS THE EQUIVALENCY TABLE AND A PHASING TABLE 2 ÃNO CHANGES IN RESIDENTIAL, JUST INCREASES IN NONRESIDENTIAL TO REFLECT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THE FIRST COAST UNDER BELTWAY COMING THROUGH AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION WITHIN THE NEXT FEW YEARS. THEY HAD SOME COMPANIES HAVE COMPLETED THE EXTENSION OF 2209 FROM THIS POINT IN PURPLE. THEY WILL INTERSECT WITH THE FIRST COAST EVER BELTWAY AND THEN THEY HAVE CONSTRUCTED DOWN TO THIS POINT AND HAVE CONSTRUCTED SILVERLEAF PARKWAY DOWN TO STATE ROAD 16. ALL OF THOSE ROADS ÃROADWAY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. THEY HAVE BEEN UPDATED FROM THIS POINT DOWN TO I GP INTERNATIONAL GOLF PARKWAY. THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION. WE SAW EMAILS FROM RESIDENTS WHO LIVE OFF MAGUIRE IN 2015. THE PUD WERE REVISED ALONG MAGUIRE PARKWAY AT THE REQUEST OF RESIDENTS. THAT IS NOT PART OF THIS AND THERE WILL BE NO CONNECTION THROUGH LAYER MAGUIRE PARKWAY. JUST TO ADDRESS THAT COMMENT AS WELL FROM THE PUBLIC.

AND THEN GOING TO SCHOOL SITES, THE SCHOOL SITES HERE HERE AND HERE HAVE BEEN CONVEYED TO THE ST. JOHNS COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD. THE TRANSPORTATION MITIGATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND A PARK SITE HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO THE COUNTY. THE SITES THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION NOW ARE IN THESE PODS HERE AND HERE AND HERE AND THEY ARE RESIDENTS LIVING IN SILVERLEAF NOW. THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS.

SO THE PROJECT IS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP AND OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS MORE NONRESIDENTIAL NEEDED FOR THE REASONS WE HAVE DISCUSSED WITH THE OUTER BELTWAY INTERSECTION WITH 2209 AND JUST THE FACT OF HAVING ALMOST 11,000 HOMES IN THIS COMMUNITY. WITH THAT BEING SAID ÃHANG ON A MINUTE. I WILL FLESH OUT ÃTHESE ARE THE PODS IN THE PROJECT THAT

[00:35:05]

ANSWER WHATEVER QUESTIONS YOU GENTLEMEN MAY HAVE. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE

APPLICANT? SEEING ON, YOU CAN PROCEED >> THANK YOU.

WE CAN GO INTO PUBLIC COMMENT. >> WE WILL NOW TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEMS ONE AND TWO.

IF YOU WILL STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES

>> GOOD MORNING. I AM RICKY RICK GOODALE PRESIDENT OF THE CASCADES HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. WE ARE A 55 AND OLDER COMMUNITY.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD AND OUR 450 REP FAMILIES I WANT TO THANK COMMISSIONER DEAN AND MRS. TERESA BISHOP MANAGER OF THE ST. JOHNS COUNTY PLANNING DIVISION FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MEET WITH JIM REINHART. THOSE OF YOU PROVIDED VALUABLE INSIGHT AND BACKGROUND ON THE SILVERLEAF DEVELOPMENT AND ADJOINING CONSERVATION EASEMENT AND GREENWAY PRESERVE.

. THE AGREEMENT IS BETWEEN EASTERN PROPERTY LINE OF THE SILVERLEAF DEVELOPMENT AND OUR CASCADES WESTERN PROPERTY LINE. JIM MET WITH THE ST. JOHNS RIVER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND GAIN MORE UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT THAT THEY REGULATE. AS PART OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS FOR FILE NUMBER DRI AND OD 2023, SILVERLEAF DRI, YOU HAVE RECEIVED ON JULY 27 LETTER AND PETITION WITH OVER 100 SIGNATURES AND MANY LETTERS FROM OUR RESIDENTS. WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE FOLLOWING. NUMBER ONE, THE SILVERLEAF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY AND SAW A NORTH-SOUTH LINEAR FENCE SECURITY FENCE ALONG THE EASTERN PROPERTY BOUNDARY ADJACENT TO THE GREENWAY PRESERVE. .

IT BACKS UP TO THE CASCADES WESTERN PROPERTY LINE OF OUR SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

CASCADES IS A GATED COMMUNITY BUT OUR WESTERN PROPERTY LINE IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE AND WIDE OPEN TO THE ADJACENT GREENWAY PRESERVE AND THE SILVERLEAF COMMUNITY.

THIS FENCE WILL PROVIDE SECURITY AND PRIVACY FOR THE CASCADES RESIDENTS AS WELL AS THOSE RESIDENTS OF SILVERLEAF. NUMBER TWO, CONTINUE TO WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ST. JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND REQUESTING THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT EASEMENT TO NOT REMOVE THE TREES WITHIN THE CASCADES WITHIN THE MINIMUM 300 FEET WEST OF THE CASCADES PROPERTY LINE. THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY HAS A TIMBERING AND HARVESTING PERMIT THAT ALLOWS THIS ACTIVITY TO TAKE PLACE WITHIN A TOTAL CONSERVATION EASEMENT, THE MILLCREEK GREENWAY RESERVE. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR COURTESY AND CONSIDERATION OF OUR

PERMISSION REQUEST. THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER PUBLIC SPEAKERS?

PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEMS ONE AND TWO? >> BJ KALAIDI.

IN READING OVER THE SKY DIDN'T GET SOME OF THE BACKUP MATERIAL BUT WHEN THE PLANNING AND ZONING AGENCY HEARD THAT AS IT WAS A 4 TO ONE VOTE, TELL US WHY THAT ONE PERSON OBJECTED TO THIS AND IT'S ALWAYS INTERESTING ABOUT WHEN THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO START AND WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO END. WITH ALL OF THE VIRUS AND THE OTHER EXTENSIONS BECAUSE OF WHAT'S GOING ON, WHEN IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN?HIS IS ANOTHER THING.

I HOPE YOU'RE GOING TO BE ASKING THAT QUESTION, AND I AM. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED.

THE STAFF IS NOT MAKING PRESENTATIONS ON THESE. AND THEN HAVING THE DEVELOPER OR THEIR LAWYERS OR WHOEVER COME UP AND MAKE COMMENTS. AND I THINK THIS LADY NEEDS AN A+. SHE GOT EVERYTHING DONE IN THREE MINUTES.

AND I WONDER WHY THESE TWO REQUESTS WERE NOT HANDLED UTSIDE OF THIS MEETING AND TALKING WITH THE DEVELOPER AND THE LAWYER THAT WAS A PEER SPEAKING.

THEY WAIT UNTIL THE RESIDENCE OF ALL OF THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENTS COME IN HERE AND

[00:40:03]

I AM SO GLAD. THEY THINK BRINGING IN THIS HIGHWAY IS GOING TO BE THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ST. JOHNS COUNTY. DEVELOPMENT IS ONE THING IN OVERDEVELOPMENT IS ANOTHER. MAYBE IT CAN'T BE STOPPED BUT I THINK WE CAN BE A LITTLE BIT MORE PROACTIVE IN TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE MOVED DOWN HERE AND MADE THEIR HOMES AND MADE INVESTMENT IN THESE PROPERTIES AND THEN HAVE TO COME IN HERE, AND THEY HAVE A QUALITY OF LIFE WHERE THEY FIRST CAME IN AND THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE IT IN ST.

JOHNS COUNTY. MY QUESTION IS BASICALLY WHAT Ã IF YOU DON'T KNOW CAN SOMEONE IN THE STAFF COME UP HERE AND ANSWER THAT QUESTION FROM THE PCA MEETING?

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. ANY PART OF THE COMMENT, ANY COMMENT ON ITEMS ONE AND TWO? I THINK THAT COMPLETES PUBLIC COMMENT.

>> WITH PUBLIC COMMENT NOW CLOSED, MS. SMITH, YOU HAVE A REBUTTAL?

>> JUST A COUPLE TO ADDRESS, THE COMMENTS FROM THE RESIDENTS IN THE CASCADES.

I AM GOING TO BACKUP MY PRESENTATION HERE. TO THE MAP THAT SHOWS ALL OF THE WETLANDS. SO THIS AREA RIGHT HERE IS ABOUT 2000 ACRES OF CONTINUOUS WETLANDS, AND UNFORTUNATELY ON THIS MAP IT DOES NOT SHOW, BUT THERE ARE ACTUALLY CONTINUOUS WETLANDS ON THIS SIDE THAT THIS BLOWS THROUGH, SO THAT IS A NATURAL WILDLIFE CORRIDOR.

AND SO THE DEVELOPER WOULD PREFER TO NOT PUT A FENCE ALONG THE EASTERN BOUNDARY TO PREVENT WILDLIFE FLOW, IF YOU WILL, TO THAT AREA. BUT THEY HAVE A GREAT AND HAVE DONE, IN FACT, LEFT A 300 FOOT BUFFER AS REQUESTED BY THE RESIDENTS OUT THERE.

THE TIMBERING HAS NOT OCCURRED WITHIN 30 FEET OF THE PROPERTY LINE WITH THE CASCADES.

IT HAS ONLY OCCURRED AND IT HAS BEEN SELECTIVE, NOT CLEARCUTTING IN THE TIMBERING, AND IT HAS NOT OCCURRED WITHIN 300 FEET OF THE CASCADES PROPERTY LINE.

AND TO ADDRESS HER QUESTION ABOUT THE NEGATIVE VOTE THAT WAS DOCTOR HELSING BACK WHO DID NOT FEEL IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO HAVE ADDITIONAL NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS WITHIN

SILVERLEAF. THANK YOU >> THANK YOU

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. IF YOU KNOW, ÃFIRST OF ALL, THE CASCADES, IS THAT THE CASCADE BOUNDARY ADJACENT TO ABOUT THE LOWER HALF OF THE CONSERVATION AREA, THE SOUTHERN HALF? IN THE NORTHERN HALF, THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY NOT CASCADES,

ROUGHLY? >> YES, LET'S DEAL WITH THE SOUTHERN HALF.

WHAT'S THE AVERAGE WITH, IF YOU KNOW, OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT BETWEEN THE SILVER LIFE ÃSILVERLEAF DRI AND CASCADES? IS THAT ABOUT A FOURTH OF A

MILE? >> THIS IS SIGNIFICANT. I COULDN'T MEASURE THE DISTANCE BUT YOU CAN SEE THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE CASCADES HERE. THAT'S THE CLOSEST IT GETS TO SILVERLEAF. MOST OF THIS IS OPEN AND THAT'S THE WETLAND I WAS REFERRING TO.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF HUNDRED ACRES OF WETLANDS PRESERVED ALONG THIS AREA THAT ALLOW

WILDLIFE TO HAVE A COURT OR THROUGH THERE. >> LET'S DO DUELING LASERS.

DO YOU HAVE ONE THAT WORKS? THE WHIP, I'M TALKING ABOUT FROM ROUGHLY THE BOUNDARY HERE OVER TO HERE. THAT WITH, IS THAT ROUGHLY 1/2 MILE OR LESS?

>> I MEAN, IN EYEBALLING IT'S PROBABLY MORE THAN HALF A MILE BUT I'M NOT AN EXPERT ON THAT.

IT IS A SIGNIFICANT DISTANCE FROM THAT ROAD, 2209 ÃOVER TO THE CASCADES.

TO GIVE YOU A BIT OF BACKGROUND, THIS IS A COMMUNITY LED AND WORKSHOP AMENDMENT AND THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE PONTE VEDRE ZONING DISTRICT REGULATION WERE WORKSHOP AT FOUR SEPARATE MEETINGS ACROSS THREE AGENCIES AS I HAVE INDICATED ON THE POWERPOINT AND ULTIMATELY AFTER TWO SUCCESSIVE MEETINGS BY THE PONTE VEDRE ZONING ADJUSTMENT BOARD MAY 6 AND AUGUST 5, THE AMENDMENTS WERE RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL. 6 TO 0. BRIEFLY GO OVER EACH SECTION THAT HAS PROPOSED AMENDMENTS, SECTION 1, THEY ALL RELATE DIRECTLY TO THE TREE ORDINANCE. I HAVE SEVERAL OF THE TERMS AMONGST OTHERS INDICATED ARE RELATED DIRECTLY TO DAYS AND THE LIKE. SECTION 3 IS RELATED TO A

[00:50:03]

THERE WAS A SECTION OF VACATED RIGHT AWAY THAT'S APPROXIMATELY 34 FEET THAT'S ADJACENT TO PONTE VEDRE BLVD. AND THE REGULATION WOULD MAINTAIN THE EXISTING BUILDING SETBACKS, SO THAT HOMES CONTINUE TO BE BUILT IN THE SAME PASSION AND LOCATION.

THE FIRST PORTION WHICH IS SECTION 8.8 IS THE REMAINDER OF WHAT WE JUST DISCUSSED REGARDING THE BUILDING RESTRICTION ÃRESTRICTION LINE FOR THAT PORTION OF HOMES BETWEEN MIRANDA AND CORONA. FOR SECTION 8S, THERE IS AN AMENDED CLARIFICATION TO THE EXTENT OF PROHIBITION FOR REFUSE AND RECYCLING AND WASTE CONTAINERS TO INCLUDE PLASTIC BAGS, THE PONTE VEDRE ZONING AND ADJUSTMENT BOARD FURTHER REQUESTS A 24 HOUR TIME LIMITATION TO BE ADDED TO CLARIFY. THAT IS BELOW INDICATED ON THE REFUSE RECYCLING AND YARD WASTE INCLUDING PLASTIC BAGS NOT CONCEALED FROM VIEW OF ANY PERSON UPON ANY STREET OR PUBLIC SIDEWALK EXCEPT FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE SCHEDULED PICKUP, THE UNDERLYING BEING THE CHANGE LANGUAGE. AND LASTLY, SECTION 8 IS AN ENTIRELY NEW TREE PROTECTION PROVISION WHICH WAS ADDED IN HOLD TO THE PONTE VEDRE ZONING BOARD AND PROPOSED TO BE ADDED IN WHOLE TO THE REGULATIONS. COUNTY STAFF FINALIZE THE REGULATIONS BUT THEY WERE DRAFTED BY MAT A PONTE VEDRE COMMUNITY MEMBER WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE ADJUSTING BOARD. THE TRADE PROTECTIONS ARE TO BE APPLICABLE TO ALL EXISTING PROPOSED AND RECONFIGURED RESIDENTIAL LOTS WITHIN PONTE VEDRE AND THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL BE CONSIDERED IN ADDITION TO THE EXISTING REGULATIONS OF ARTICLE 4 OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. TO GIVE JUST A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE TYPE OF PROVISIONS THAT ARE INCLUDED, THEY INCLUDE REQUIRED PERMITTING, APPEALS, VARIANCE PROCEDURES, MEDICATION, EXEMPTIONS, PROHIBITIONS, ENFORCEMENT AND PENALTIES. I DO HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL STAFF HERE PRESENT IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AS WELL MR. MCCULLERS IS ALSO AVAILABLE FOR ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ON TREE REGULATIONS. I DO HAVE THE FINDINGS APPEAR. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM AND WE HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL STAFF AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY

REGULATIONS. >> ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD FOR STAFF?

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, THIS IS COMMISSIONER BLOCKER. I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, I GOT AN EMAIL OR TWO THAT THEY 24 HOURS FOR CONCEALING TRASH CANS NOT BEEN VETTED. CAN YOU ELABORATE ON THAT AND LET US KNOW ÃWITH THAT ÃWAS

NOT HEARD IN SOME OF THE PUBLIC MEETINGS OR WAS NOT COVERED? >> YES, SIR.

I CAN SPEAK TO THAT. THAT WAS RECENTLY BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION AS WELL AND MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT THEY REGARDING THE CONTAINERS, THE PLASTIC BAG PORTION OF THAT APPEARS TO BE ÃTO HAVE BEEN VETTED SPECIFIC TO THE 24 HOUR REQUIREMENT.

THAT APPEARS TO ONLY HAVE COME UP IN THE PONTE VEDRE ZONING PAND INVESTMENT BOARD WHICH THE DID HAVE TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS ON THE MATTER. I WAS NOT IN ATTENDANCE IN ANY OF THE WORKSHOP ITEMS, BUT I TAKE THE WORD OF THE CONSTITUENT THAT THE 24 HOUR

TIME LIMIT WAS NOT A WORKSHOP ITEM. >> OKAY.

THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY CONCERN. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAD ADEQUATE FEEDBACK ON THE ISSUE

>> ABSOLUTELY. IT DID OCCUR IN TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS AT GREAT LENGTH AND

DEBATE. >> OKAY. THANK YOU

[4. Public Hearing * VACROA 2019-02 Wholesale Automart SR207 - Public Hearing to vacate a twelve (12) foot wide alley located between PINs 097510-0000 (Block 18 Lots 7-12) and 097511-0000 (Block 18, Lots 1-4, 13) and PIN 096790-0000 (Block 18, Lots 5 -6) within the Rothschild's Addition subdivision.]

[5. Public Hearing * REZ 2020-10 215 State Road 206 East.]

[01:02:12]

IT'S A LITTLE UNDER EIGHT ACRES. 7.92.

IT'S EAST OF HIGHWAY U.S. 1, SOUTH OF 206. THIS KIND OF SHOWS YOU THERE IS A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME TO THE EAST, AND IT'S VACANT TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST AND TO THE NORTH ACROSS IS A SELF STORAGE THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR QUITE A WHILE AND TO THE WEST IS ALSO VACANT AT THIS POINT. AND I HAD DONE THIS JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU AN IDEA SINCE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT LARGER PIECES OF PROPERTY JUST TO GIVE AN IDEA OF THE SIZES OF THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE SURROUNDING THIS. YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A FIVE ACRE PIECE. SOUTHWEST ANOTHER 4 1/2 AND NORTHWEST AS WELL AND THEN TO THE IMMEDIATE WEST, THERE IS ACTUALLY ANOTHER SEVEN ACRES Ã TWO PARCELS COMBINED.

FUTURE LAND USE, THIS IS RESIDENTIAL B. ZONING ÃCURRENT ZONING IS SINGLE-FAMILY TO WITH CONDITIONS AND THE CONDITIONS ON THESE HAD TO DO WITH THE DEVELOPMENT THEY WERE PLANNING THAT INCLUDED ALL THE REST OF THE PROPERTY OVER IN THIS AREA AS WELL AND THOSE HAVE ALL BEEN REMOVED AND IT WAS FROM SMALLER LOT DIVISIONS SO THEY ARE NOT RELEVANT ANYMORE.

THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF OR ZONING AND AS YOU CAN SEE ADJACENT ZONING, THERE IS A COMMERCIAL OR TO THE SOUTH AND THEN RS TO GENERAL TO THE WEST, TO THE EAST.

THIS KIND OF GIVES YOU THE OVERALL AREA. THIS IS VERY CONSISTENT.

THE PUD IS A CONSERVATION. JUST A FEW PICTURES KIND OF SHOWING YOU FROM ACROSS FROM THE SITE LOOKING EAST. LOOKING EAST YOU CAN FIND SELF STORAGE ACROSS THE STREET.

AND THAT IS THE SELF STORAGE ACROSS THE STREET BUT IT'S BEEN THERE ESTABLISHED A LONG TIME

[01:05:01]

THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY IS IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST AND THE COUNTY IS TO USE THAT FOR AN EMERGENCY SITE AT ONE TIME. THIS IS THE ENTRANCE. THIS IS THE ENTRANCE DRIVE.

AND THIS SHOWS YOU THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST WHICH IS WHERE THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME IS YOU CAN TELL THAT'S ALSO VERY WELL TREED AND BUFFERED FROM THEIR PROPERTY.

AND THIS WOULD BE THEIR PROPERTY FROM THE ENTRANCE GATE.

THIS IS THE ENTRANCE GATE. AND THEN AS YOU GO PAST THE GATE AND SHOWS YOU THAT DRIVEWAY. AND IT WILL SHOW YOU FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL.

THAT'S WHY YOU ARE SEEING THAT DRIVEWAY THAT KIND OF CURVES DOWN IN HERE THAT COMES ALONG THE SIDE AND ANYTHING THEY ARE GOING TO DO AND I DID NOT INCLUDE A COPY OF THE SITE PLAN BUT I THOUGHT I SHOULD SWITCH OVER. IT WAS IN YOUR STAFF REPORT.

AND THIS JUST GENERALLY SHOWS YOU KIND OF A GENERAL IDEA. THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS FOR AGRICULTURAL USES FOR HORSES AND POSSIBLY ANY OTHER TYPE OF ANIMALS AND THEY PLANNED TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF CLEARING ON THIS SITE. JUST IN SUMMARY, THIS IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE AREA. IT'S SIMILAR TO OTHER LARGE USES TO THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST.

IT'S THE SAME ZONING TO THE NORTHWEST. THERE IS A VERY SMALL COMMERCIAL EXPOSURE. THERE IS A CHURCH WITH RETENTION TO THE WEST.

THERE IS THE OR ZONING PLUS RS LAND-USE TO THE SOUTHWEST AND WE FEEL THE PROPERTY IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE AREA AND USES WE DON'T HAVE ANY UNREASONABLE AND COMPATIBLE IMPACTS. IT'S NOT GOING TO INCREASE ANY TRAFFIC FLOW.

IT'S FOR A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME AND IT WILL CAUSE A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND IT'S A PROMOTABLE USES WITHIN THE OR CATEGORY ARE ALLOWABLE IN RESIDENTIAL D. WE FEEL IT'S ÃTHE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LDC. WITH THAT, I WILL OPEN IT UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? >> ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM 5, REZONING? ITEM 5. SEEING NONE, MR. CHAIRMAN, BACK TO YOU.

>> WITH PUBLIC COMMENT NOW CLOSED, WE ARE BACK TO THE BOARD AND I WILL ENTERTAIN A

MOTION >> THIS ALSO WAS IN DISTRICT 3 AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO MAKE A MOTION. MOTION TO ENACT ORDINANCE 2020 79.

A REQUEST TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY 7.92 ACRES OF LAND FOR RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY RS TO WITH CONDITIONS OPEN ROLL OR BASED ON FOUR FINDINGS OF FACT AS

PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT >> SECOND >> HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DEAN AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER JOHNS. LET'S SAY YOU FACILITY WILL

CALL THE. >> WILL MOVE ALONG TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX.

[6. REZ 2020-09 Rosendahl Rezoning.]

>> I HAVE NONE AS WELL. WE WILL MOVE FORWARD. >> GOOD MORNING.

MY NAME IS TRAVIS MITCH AT 1230 NECK RD. AND I AM PRESENTING THE

ROSENTHAL REZONING THIS MORNING. >> SO THE PURPOSE OF THIS READ ZONING REQUEST IS TO ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME ON A .92 ACRE PORTION OF 5-1-1 NORTH WILDERNESS TRL. 5-1-1 NORTH WILDERNESS TRL. IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF CANAL BOULEVARD AND NORTH WILDERNESS TRL. IN PONTE VEDRE BEACH.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE PARCEL DETAIL THERE, HE WILL SEE THAT THAT 2.19 ACRE TRACT IS MADE UP

[01:10:09]

BECAUSE THAT DESTINATION ALLOWS FOR TWO UNITS FOR NET ACRE AND THAT'S MORE THAN SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW FOR THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME DEVELOPMENT AS PROPOSED. THE EXISTING ZONING CATEGORY IS OR AND IN THIS AREA THAT'S BEEN A PLACEHOLDER UNTIL A MORE ESTABLISHED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN HAS BECOME AVAILABLE. AND WILDERNESS TRAIL IS REALLY TURNED INTO A BEAUTIFUL ROLE RESIDENTIAL ST. IN PONTE VEDRE BEACH. IF YOU DRIVE DOWN THAT ROAD YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE IS LOTS OF NEW CUSTOM FARMHOUSES AND PEOPLE ARE EMBRACING THAT RURAL FEEL, AND YOU'RE STARTING TO SEE WILDERNESS TRAIL EMERGE INTO A BEAUTIFUL RESIDENTIAL AREA. SO THIS REZONING WILL ALLOW FOR THAT PATTERN TO BE RECOGNIZED AND WE ARE MOVING FROM THE OPEN WORLD DISTRICT TO A RESIDENTIAL ESTATE THAT HAS THOSE LARGE SETBACKS. THE CHANGE THAT WE HAVE PROPOSED HERE IS GOING FROM OR TO RS ONE AND YOU WILL NOTICE THAT IN THE RED HIGHLIGHTED AREAS, WE ARE ACTUALLY BY GOING THROUGH THIS CHANGE WE ARE INCREASING SOME OF THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS.

THE LOT WITH IS EXACTLY ÃI WILL GO FROM 100 FEET TO 120. THIS PARTICULAR PARCEL WILL BE 138 FEET WIDE SO IT EXCEEDS THAT MINIMUM REQUIREMENT VERY GENEROUS SIZED PARCEL.

ALSO THE MAXIMUM BUILDING COVERAGE IS BEING REDUCED FROM 35 TO 25 PERCENT WHICH REFLECTS THAT RURAL AREA MORE OPEN SPACE AND SIMILARLY TO THE EARTH SETBACKS, THE YARD SETBACKS ACTUALLY INCREASED 30 FEET COMPARED TO 25 IN THE OLD DISTRICT AND A LARGER REAR SETBACK. ALONG THE BOTTOM YOU WILL SEE THAT THE PARCEL AGAIN HISTORICALLY IT HAS ALREADY BEEN SPLIT BECAUSE OF THAT EXISTING PLAT AND THE PORTION THAT WOULD BE DEVELOPED WOULD BE JUST THAT .92 ACRE PIECE. THE 1.27 ACRE PIECE BELOW IT ALREADY HAS A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME ON IT. THIS PARCEL IS ALREADY SURROUNDED BY SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. YOU ACTUALLY CAN SEE THE PARCEL IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. IT BASICALLY IS JUST AN OPEN PIECE OF LAND THAT HAS BEEN HELD BY THE OWNER. FOR A LONG TIME THEY USED IT AS A PLAYFIELD.

IT LOOKS LIKE A RESIDENTIAL LOT, BUT IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THAT SINGLE-FAMILY HOME, THAT REZONING WOULD NEED TO OCCUR TO ALLOW FOR A .29 ACRE PARCEL RATHER THAN A FULL ONE ACRE.

THE REZONING CHANGE WOULD ACTUALLY ALLOW FOR A LARGER SETBACK.

BLESS COVERAGE AND HOUSE PICTURE TO THE RIGHT IS ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THAT. IT REFLECTS THAT CHARACTER. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE PARCELS. IF YOU LOOKED ON THE TOP PICTURE, THAT IS NORTH WILDERNESS TRL. HEADING NORTH AND YOU CAN SEE ALL THE PARCELS, HOW WIDE THEY ARE.

THEY RANGE FROM ABOUT 100 TO 150 FEET IN WIDTH. THIS PARCEL IS 138 FEET AND IT WOULD HELP TO CONTINUE THAT RESIDENTIAL PATTERN WHERE THERE IS HOMES WITH GENEROUS SETBACKS FROM THE STREET AND LOTS OF SPACE ON THE SIDE YARDS AND A NICE LARGE BACKYARD AS WELL.

THAT WILL COMPLETE THAT HISTORIC PLAN DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? SEEING NONE, COMMISSIONER DEAN,

[01:15:03]

WE WILL PROCEED WITH PUBLIC COMMENT. >> COMMISSIONER DEAN: PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM 6. ITEM 6. SEEING NONE, THAT COMPLETES THAT

>> I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX >> COMMISSIONER BLOCKER, DO YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC LANGUAGE VIEWER EXISTED IN MAKING A MOTION? OTHERWISE I WOULD BE GLAD TO

AGAIN >> COMMISSIONER DEAN, I APPRECIATE THE ASSIST.

I WOULD BE WILLING TO MAKE THE MOTION. FOR WHATEVER REASON I DID NOT GET THE LANGUAGE IN FRONT OF ME. IF YOU DON'T MIND THE ASSIST,

THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> THANK YOU. AM PREPARED TO MAKE A MOTION.

I WOULD MOVE TO ENACT ORDINANCE 2020 Ã40, APPROVING REZONING 20 2009 ROSENTHAL REZONING REQUEST TO REZONE FROM OPEN WORLD TO RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY RS ONE BASED UPON

FOUR FINDINGS OF ACCESS PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT >> HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE, WE WERE PROCEED WITH A ROLL CALL VOTE.

[7. Public Hearing * MAJMOD 2020-05 ICI Middlebourne.]

COMMISSIONER DEAN? >> COMMISSIONER DEAN: I DON'T HAVE ANY MEETINGS SHOWN, AND I

DON'T RECALL ANY EMAIL I RECEIVED FROM ANYONE >> COMMISSIONER BLOCKER?

>> THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE ANY RECORD OF ANY MEETINGS AND I DON'T HAVE ANY DOCUMENTS IN FRONT OF ME TO INDICATE THAT I RECEIVED ANY EMAILS OR PHONE CALLS ABOUT

THIS. >> ALL RIGHT. COMMISSIONER JOHNS?

>> I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL WHILE DRIVING SO I DID NOT WRITE DOWN THE DATE THAT BRIEFLY TALKED ABOUT THE PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF THE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AND PROPOSED PARKWAY THAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED AND UNDERSTOOD TO BE USED FOR THIS PROJECT AND THE REASONS FOR THE NEED FOR THIS TEMPORARY ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY TO ENABLE IT TO

MOVE FORWARD. >> I ALSO HAD A BRIEF CONVERSATION WITH MR. HUSSEINI ABOUT A MONTH AGO AS WELL ON THE EXACT SAME THING WITH REGARD TO THE DESIRE TO HAVE THIS ACCESS ISSUE AT LEAST ADDRESSED AND I THINK THAT WILL SUFFICE.

>> MS. SMITH? >> GOOD MORNING. MR. CHAIRMAN, COMMISSIONERS, ELLEN AVERY SMITH, 100 WET STONE PLACE IN ST. AUGUSTINE AND I AM GOING TO LOOK FOR THE CLICKER. SORRY ABOUT THAT. WITH ME TODAY FROM ICI HOMES ARE JAMES'S TOWERS AND DAVID HOLLIS. MR. HUSSEINI IS ON HIS WAY AND HOPEFULLY WILL MAGICALLY APPEAR AT ANY TIME. YOU HAVE SEEN THIS PROJECT BEFORE. IT'S BEEN ABOUT TWO YEARS. YOU WILL RECALL THE LOCATION.

HERE IS RACETRACK ROAD, VETERANS PARKWAY TO THE POINT THAT IT EXISTS TODAY DOWN TO LONGLEAF PINE PARKWAY AND THEN LONGLEAF PINE. SO ICI UNDER THE NAME ICI CROSSWORDS HAS PURCHASED THESE PARCELS OUTLINED IN YELLOW ON THE MAP, THIS TRIANGLE, THIS PIECE, THIS PIECE AND THIS CASE. THE ÃABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, THIS BOARD VOTED TO CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS OF THIS PROPERTY TO RESIDENTIAL B FOR THERESIDENTIAL SEGMENTS AND COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL FOR THE CORNERS.

THIS WILL INCLUDE ABOUT 340,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMUNITY RELATED COMMERCIAL AND OFFICE SPACE. ALONG WITH 426 APPROVED SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

AGAIN, HERE IS THE PUD BOUNDARIES THAT INCLUDE THOSE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS.

AND SO AGAIN, THIS WAS APPROVED BY THE SPORT IN 2018 FOR 426 SINGLE-FAMILY UNITS, 187,500 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL SPACE AND 152,000, 500 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE.

THE MAJORITY OF THE ON-SITE WETLANDS ARE BEING PRESERVED AND WE HAD OUR COMMUNITY MEETING, THERE IS QUESTIONS FROM PROPERTY OWNERS AND OTHER NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES ABOUT WHETHER THOSE WETLANDS WOULD REMAIN AND THEY WILL. THEY WILL BE PLACED UNDER CONSERVATION EASEMENT, AND I WILL SHOW YOU THE EXTENT OF THOSE WETLANDS WHEN WE GET TO

[01:20:02]

AND SO TO GO INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL, THESE ARE THE FOUR QUADRANTS.

THIS IS THE MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN. GOING BACK TO THE WETLANDS YOU CAN SEE THESE WETLANDS THAT ARE SHADED BACK WILL BE PRESERVED, AND SO FOLKS WHO LIVE IN THIS COMMUNITY WILL HAVE THESE WETLANDS AS BUFFERS AS WELL AS IN THESE AREAS.

THE ROADWAY CONFIGURATION THAT IS THE ISSUE TODAY AND PART OF THE SUBJECT MODIFICATION, YOU WILL RECALL THAT THIS SEGMENT OF VETERANS PARKWAY ALL THE WAY DOWN TO COUNTY ROAD 210 IS THE OBLIGATION WITH A PROJECT CALLED RIVERTOWN. BACK SEVERAL YEARS AGO, THE DEVELOPER OF RIVERTOWN WAS THE SAINT JOE COMPANY, AND THIS WAS IN 2008 THAT 2009 TIMEFRAME.

THE SAINT JOE COMPANY STARTED CONSTRUCTION OF VETERANS PARKWAY FROM LONGLEAF PINE PARKWAY SOUTH OF COUNTY ROAD 210 INTO A TWO LANE CONFIGURATION.

THERE WAS AN ENGINEERING DESIGN ISSUE WITH THE ROADWAY, SO THE COUNTY TOLD SAINT JOE AT THE TIME PLEASE SAK CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT'S NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY.

AND SO THE CONSTRUCTION WAS NEVER FINISHED. SAINT JOE SUBSEQUENTLY SOLD RIVERTOWN TO ANATOMY AND THEY AMENDED THE PRI DEVELOPMENT FOR RIVERTOWN TO NOT REQUIRE THE FOUR REMAINING OF THAT VETERANS PARKWAY SEGMENT UNTIL RIVERTOWN REACHED ALMOST 2400 UNITS.

TODAY, RIVERTOWN HAS ABOUT 800 UNITS. SO THERE ARE ABOUT THE THIRD OF THE WAY TOWARD THIS OBLIGATION OF THE FOUR-LANE. BUT IN THE MEANTIME, THE SAGA CONTINUES. THE DEVELOPER OF RIVERTOWN HAS BEEN WORKING WITH ICI AND WCI WHICH IS ALSO LENNAR, WCI OWNS THE PROPERTY THAT IS IN THIS AREA.

I THINK THAT'S 818 AGE RESTRICTED UNITS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO BOTH ICI AND LENNAR OR THE BCR HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO TWO LANE CERTAIN SEGMENTS OF VETERANS PARKWAY.

ICI HAS AN OBLIGATION IN THE EXISTING PUD TO BUILD TWO LANES TO THIS ENTRANCE.

WCI HAS AN OBLIGATION TO 2 LANE VETERANS PKWY. FROM LONGLEAF PINE DOWN TO HIS ENTRANCE WHICH IS NOT SHOWN ON THIS MAP. THE PARTIES HAVE BEEN WORKING TO GATHER TO CAUSE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS TONIGHT SEGMENT OF VETERANS PARKWAY SOON.

LIKE HOPEFULLY THIS YEAR TO SERVE BOTH THE WCI PROJECT AND THE ICI PROJECT.

IN THE MEANTIME, UNTIL THAT APPROVAL COMES THROUGH FROM THOSE ENTITIES, THIS PROJECT HAS PROPOSED TO BUILD ON WHAT I'M GOING TO CALL THROWAWAY ROAD CONNECTOR ROAD FROM LONGLEAF PINE THAT WILL GO TO THIS COMMERCIAL PARCEL AND HAS THE ABILITY TO TIE INTO THE RESIDENTIAL TO PROVIDE THIS ACCESS TO THE SOUTHWESTERN QUADRANT IF THE PARTIES CANNOT AGREE TO THE TUNING SEGMENT OF VETERANS PARKWAY. SO THIS IS A FALLBACK POSITION THAT ICI WOULD DO ONLY IF THIS OTHER AGREEMENT DOESN'T COME TO FRUITION.

WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO IT BUT IN THE EVENT IT DOESN'T COME TO FRUITION, THIS ROAD WOULD CONNECT THROUGH TEMPORARILY UNTIL VETERANS PARKWAY IS CONSTRUCTED ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY. THIS WOULD BE THE FULL ACCESS FROM VETERANS PARKWAY WHEN IT'S CONSTRUCTED. THIS WOULD THEN BE THE EMERGENCY ACCESS AND THE ACCESS BETWEEN THIS COMMERCIAL NODE AND THIS RESIDENTIAL NOTE WOULD BE STOPPED.

SO THERE IS A WAIVER IN THE PUD TEXTS TO NOT REQUIRE THIS THROWAWAY ROAD TO BE BILLED AS

[01:25:07]

BUT AGAIN, HOPEFULLY, EVERYTHING WILL COME TOGETHER FOR EVERYTHING.

SO AGAIN, WE ARE REVISING THE ROADWAYS, PROVIDING ÃSTILL PROVIDING FOR THE WIDENING OF THE SEGMENT OF LONGLEAF PINE PARKWAY FROM VETERANS TO TOLERANT 10 FROM TWO LANES TO 4 LANES. THAT'S ABOUT A $3.4 MILLION IMPROVEMENT WHICH IS THREE TIMES THE PROPORTIONATE SHARE AMOUNT AND THE PROPORTIONATE SHARE FOR THIS PROJECT NOW IS $1.1 MILLION, APPROXIMATELY. THEY'RE GOING TO SPEND ABOUT $3.4 MILLION APPROXIMATELY ON THIS ROADWAY SEGMENT, SO THAT'S THREE TIMES MORE MITIGATION THE PROJECT WILL BE DOING THAN ITS PROPORTIONATE SHARE. WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE PCA RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS MAJOR MODIFICATION TO THE BOARD. AND WE ARE HERE TO ANSWER

WHATEVER QUESTIONS. >> WHAT IF THE CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATES COME IN HIGHER THAN 3.4?WHERE DO WE STAND? WHAT DOES THE COUNTY STAND AND WHERE DOES THE APPLICANT STAND?

>> GOOD MORNING, COMMISSIONER. AS I PROMISED LAST TIME WHEN I WAS HERE, WE WILL NOT ÃIT'S OUR DOCUMENT, 3,394,000. WE WILL NOT ASK FOR A DOLLAR MORE.

AND WE ONLY ASKED FOR 3,394,000 AND THAT'S IT.THAT WOULD BE THE DEAL.ESS OR MORE, WHATEVER IT IS, WE GET $3,394,000 CREDIT AND WE WILL BE USING THAT FOR OUR OWN

PROJECT. >> AS I UNDERSTAND IT FROM STAFF, THOSE CREDITS WILL BE RESTRICTED FROM THE DISTRICT YOU ARE IN. THAT'S COUNTYWIDE

>> IT IS NOT. MAYBE IT'S IN A STAFF REPORT BUT WHAT I'M WILLING TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, WE ARE COMMITTED TO USE THOSE CREDITS ONLY IN OUR OWN DISTRICT BECAUSE WE

NEED THANK YOU. >> LASTLY, LET ME ASK YOU THIS. MS. SMITH GAVE SORT OF A QUICK SUMMARY. I'VE SORT OF BEEN TANGENTIALLY HEARING THAT THIS IS NOT DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION, BUT I'VE BEEN BRIEFED BY THE STAFF AND THE COUNTY ATTORNEY AND I THINK MS. SMITH MENTIONED IT MORE THAN ONCE.

THIS SO-CALLED AGREEMENT BETWEEN ÃMIDDLE FORM THIS SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING ON FROM SEVERAL ÃREPRESENTING THE COUNTY THAT IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR ALL OF US CERTAINLY THE COUNTY IF WE COULD BRING THE SIN FOR A LANDING AND GET AN AGREEMENT AND HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THESE ROADWAYS ARE GOING TO BE BUILT AND WHEN, BUT AS I UNDERSTAND WE ARE DEALING WITH A THREE PARTY AGREEMENT THERE ARE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INVOLVED IN IT HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE COUNTY SO I CAN ONLY REQUEST THOSE THAT ARE INVOLVED THAT ARE TRYING TO EXPEDITIOUSLY MOVE AHEAD AND RESOLVE THIS

>> ABSOLUTELY. WE HAVE GONE OUT OF OUR WAY AND IT'S TAKEN FOREVER.

WE HAVE GONE OUT OF OUR WAY AND WE ARE IN A MESS OF DOING IT, HOPEFULLY.

I WAS HOPING WHEN I COME HERE TODAY TO TELL YOU A DEAL WAS MADE AND SIGNED, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET. WE ARE HOPING IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN PRETTY SOON FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART.

YOU WANT TO BUILD THAT ROAD. IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN THE COMMITMENT WE MADE TO FOUR-LANE THIS ROAD AT THREE TIMES WHAT WE ARE OUR PROPORTIONATE SHARE IS BECAUSE HE NEEDS IT.

THERE IS A HIGH SCHOOL RIGHT THERE.T NEEDS A FOUR-LANE. AND

COMMENT. >> ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM 7? ITEM 7? ANY COMMENTS? NO CALL ENDS, ANYONE FROM THE AUDIENCE WISH TO SPEAK? BJ KALAIDI 8 NICHOLS ST. W. CITY.

A REQUEST TO MODIFY THE ICI PUD. MINOR TO REFLECT MINOR CHANGES TO THE RECREATION IN PHASING AND THEN THEY GET UP HERE AND SAYS IT'S MAJOR, SO MAJOR OR MINOR IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER. I THINK WHENEVER A PRESENTATION IS MADE BECAUSE A STAFF IS NOT SPEAKING IT SHOULD BE IN THERE ABOUT THE PHASING IN THE DATES. THE LAST ONE WAS 2040.

WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO GET THIS DONE? BECAUSE IT'S BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2018 AND WE NEED TO BE MORE SPECIFIC BECAUSE THESE DEVELOPERS ON THE LAWYERS KEEP COMING IN HERE AND PUTTING IT OFF AND ON AND OFF AND ON WHEN IT'S GOING TO BE DONE AND WHEN THERE ARE EXTENSIONS BY THE GOVERNOR BECAUSE OF HURRICANES OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S HAPPENING, THEN THEIR TIME PERIOD IS EXTENDED OUT AND THEY DON'T GET THESE THINGS DONE.

THEY HAVE A $3.3 MILLION CREDIT. HOW WONDERFUL.

WHY DON'T WE JUST TABLE THIS ONE AND DON'T GIVE THEM PERMISSION UNTIL THIS GENTLEMAN HAS MADE THE DEAL. YOU KNOW? THEY ARE SO CLOSE TO IT, SO WE HAVE ALL OF THE FACTS AND EVERYBODY WILL HAVE EVERYTHING IN WRITING AND THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEMS COME IN DOWN THE ROAD. AND I THINK THAT SHOULD BE DONE.

WE SHOULD JUST TABLE THIS ONE. YOU CAN WAIT ANOTHER MONTH. WE ARE NOT IN A BIG RUSH.

WE'VE HAD IT SINCE 2018. SO 426 HOMES, CHANGING THIS AND CHANGING THAT.

WE NEED THAT FOUR-LANE BECAUSE THE SCHOOL IS THERE. EVERYBODY HAS A CAR AT THE

SCHOOL, I GUESS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM 7? PUBLIC COMMENT. SEEING NONE, MR. CHAIRMAN, IT'S

BACK TO YOU >> WITH PUBLIC, NOW CLOSED, LEGAL? THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. I GUESS TO SUPPLEMENT, I THINK SOME OF THE TESTIMONY THAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE BOARD ON TWO TOPICS, ONE WAS THE ÃSORT OF THE OVER UNDER ASPECT OF THE $3.395175 IMPACT FEE CREDITS FOR LONGLEAF PINE PARKWAY SEGMENT AS DESCRIBED IN THE DOCUMENT, I THINK THE BOARD HAD CLARIFIED AND I'M GOING TO PUT A PIECE OF PAPER IN THE RECORD THAT AGAIN, IF IT ENDS UP COSTING MORE THAN THAT, THAT'S ON THE DEVELOPER.

IF IT ENDS UP FOR SOME REASON LESS THAN THE AGREED-UPON CREDITS ARE THE AGREED-UPON CREDITS.O THAT'S NOTE NUMBER ONE. NOTE NUMBER TWO IS AS YOU HEARD FROM MR. HUSSEINI, CEO OF ICI THE IMPACT FEE CREDITS ARE AGREED TO BE RESTRICTED TO THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT UNLESS ANY OTHER FURTHER FUTURE APPROVAL OF THE BOARD.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. >> MS. SMITH, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? BACK TO THE BOARD.I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION

COMMISSIONER DEAN? >> WELL, AS EVERYONE KNOWS, TODAY IS THE FLORIDA PRIMARY, AND I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE WITHIN EARSHOT TO PLEASE EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE. IT'S ONE OF OUR MOST CHERISHED FREEDOMS THAT WE HAVE, AND SECONDLY, IN SPEAKING BRIEFLY WITH CHAIRMAN SMITH, I JUST WANT TO SAY HOW PLEASED I AM THAT COMMISSIONER WALDRON SEEMS TO BE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS AND I JUST COULD NOT BE HAPPIER.

I KNOW HUNDREDS MAYBE THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS IN THIS COUNTY, WE HAVE ALL OF THEM IN OUR PRAYERS AND I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL THAT HE IS GRADUALLY IMPROVING AND WE WISH HIM WELL.

>> THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO AS WE GET THROUGH THE ELECTION IT'S IMPORTANT TO THE REPUBLIC AND WANT TO THINK THE POLL WORKERS VOLUNTEERING THEIR TIME COMING OUT THERE AND TAKING TIME AWAY FROM THEIR FAMILIES TO DO THIS. THAT'S IMPORTANT TO PRESERVING AND THE STATEMENTS MADE BY COMMISSIONER DEAN WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER AND I THINK WE ARE SEEING THAT WAS GOING ON WITH COMMISSIONER WALDRON. I WANT TO CONTINUE TO EMPHASIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR EVERYONE. WE HOPE THEY WILL BE RETURNING

VERY SOON. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER >> THANK YOU.

I SUPPORT PRAYERS AND SUPPORT OF THE WALDRON FAMILY EVERYONE THAT'S BEEN IMPACTED BY THIS VIRUS. IT'S TAKEN A TOLL ON A LOT OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND BY WORKING TOGETHER WE WILL COME THROUGH THIS TOGETHER. I ALSO WANT TO BRING UP A COUPLE OF ITEMS IN THE CONSENT AGENDA AND IN SPITE OF THE PANDEMIC, OUR COMMUNITY IS STILL VERY PHILANTHROPIC. THEY RECEIVE $432 AND DONATIONS PROVIDED JUST THROUGH THE GOODWILL OF OUR COMMUNITY. THAT'S WHAT MAKES ÃIN SPITE OF CHALLENGING TIMES AND VERY MUCH APPRECIATE EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR THAT'S PROVIDED TO OUR LIBRARY SYSTEM TO PROVIDE THE RESOURCES THAT THEY DO TO OUR COMMUNITY.
