I KNOW USUALLY THEN IT'S MY TURN TO TALK TODAY. AUGUST 38 30 PATRICK ROOMS. HE LANDS THE PLANE FOR ME. FIRST OF ALL, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND THANK YOU FOR A COMMUNITY THAT RECOGNIZES GOD FIRST, AND SO JUST THAT WE COME HERE IN PRAYER AND SO IN CHAPTER THREE OF THE ZONING. I THINK THAT MIKE ADDRESSED THE FIRST ITEM, UM, THAT THERE'S REASONING NEEDS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WILL THE FIRST ITEM ON THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR THREAT TO HEALTH SAFETY WELFARE OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC AS THE PREVIOUS GENTLEMEN? SHARED IT IS A TRAFFIC THREAT. WE LIVE ON PATRICK ROAD, WHICH IS THE FIRST ROAD EAST OF THAT PARCEL, AND I CANNOT TELL YOU YOU HAVE TO START PUTTING YOUR BLINKER ON AS YOU AROUND THE CORNER. AND YOU'RE CONSTANTLY CHECKING YOUR REVIEW MIRROR TO MAKE SURE NOBODY IS GOING TO READ REAR END YOU AS YOU TURN INTO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING HOME, AND THERE ARE INNUMERABLE AMOUNT OF CARS THAT GO INTO THE DITCH OR WERE VEERING OFF TO THE LEFT, SO THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC WITH IT
[00:35:06]
BEING A MAIN VEIN BETWEEN 2 31 AND 77 THE NEW HOUSING PROJECTS THAT THE SAME GENTLEMAN THAT'S PETITIONING FOR THE ZONING CHANGE IS PUTTING ACROSS THE STREET. HODGES BY YOU THE ONE ACROSS FROM BUCKS. UM ALL OF THAT IS JUST GOING TO LEAD TO MORE CONGESTION, MORE TRAFFIC AND MORE THREAT TO THE PUBLIC. OUR SAFETY UM, SITE SUITABILITY . I KNOW THERE'S DEER POINT PROTECTED AREA THERE, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW SUITABLE THIS SIDE IS WITH THE PROTECTED AREA THAT IS THERE. THERE'S A STORM DRAIN THAT RUNS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THAT PROPERTY SOUTHWEST SIDE OF THAT PROPERTY. THE DRAINS DIRECTLY INTO YOUR POINT THERE, SO THAT'S NATURALLY STORMWATER DRAIN IS ALREADY THERE. WHICH YOU ALL KNOW THE LAKE IS IN HORRIBLE SHAPE TO START.COMMISSIONER MORE OF MYSELF AND TALKED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT YOU'RE STARTED ADDING MORE COMMERCIAL THERE NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE EVEN MORE. INTO THE LIGHT. THERE'S QUESTION ABOUT THE CONSISTENCY OF THE AVAILABILITY OF INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES. WE KNOW THAT WATER RUNS ALONG THAT ROAD, BUT SEWER. THERE'S BEEN TALK OF IT COMING. IT'S NOT THERE. THERE'S BEEN TALK OF POSSIBLY BEING THERE BY 2023. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S POSSIBLE. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO REQUIRE HIM TO PROVIDE? UM WHAT ARE WE GOING TO ASK THE COMMISSION OF HIM? WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO IF THIS PASSES OUR MAJOR CONCERN IS YOU SEE THE MAP, THE FUTURE LAND USE MAPS. EVERYTHING IS RESIDENTIAL. YES THERE ARE A FEW PIECES OF COMMERCIAL. YES, BUCKS WAS KIND OF GRANDFATHERED IN. IF THEY EVER SELL. THAT'S PROBABLY NOT TO GO BACK TO THAT, UNLESS THEY APPLY FOR A ZONING CHANGE, BUT THAT WOULD CREATE A SPOT ZONING IN THAT AREA. I MEAN EVERYTHING EVERYTHING THAT IN THAT FUTURE MAP IS SET TO BE RESIDENTIAL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE WOULD WANT TO MAKE THAT A COMMERCIAL SPOT. WE HAVE ENOUGH THERE NOW THERE'S A CHURCH CLOSE BY. YOU'RE BASICALLY PUTTING A COMMERCIAL IN THAT GUY'S BACKYARD, MR GRIFFITH THAT OWNS THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR. SO THAT'S ALSO ONE OF OUR MAJOR CONCERNS. THE SPOT ZONING OKAY. THANK YOU FOR COMING. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? NO ONE ELSE WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. COMMENTS, QUESTIONS. YOU CAN LEAVE THEM UPFRONT. YES, MA'AM. WOULD BE GREAT. THANK GENTLE. WELL, I'LL START IT OFF. SURE. THE I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS AREA. THIS THIS CURVE I MEAN, GROWING UP HERE. THAT'S WE'VE DONE I'VE DONE WORK OUT THEIR TRAVEL THAT AREA MANY TIMES. AND SO AND I DO RECOGNIZE THAT AND I DO KNOW THAT THAT IS A VERY DANGEROUS CURVE. AS YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE TRAFFIC GOES AS FAR AS THE SAFETY GOES. I AM PERSONALLY. NOT COMFORTABLE.
REZONING SOMETHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE IN AN AREA LIKE THAT. THAT I CAN'T PIN DOWN. WHAT'S GOING TO GO THERE. THERE'S A HOST OF DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THAT CAN GO THERE. I'VE SPOKEN TO A NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON THIS THAT HAVE CALLED ME AND HAVE SPOKEN WITH ME AND HAVE SHARED THEIR OPINION ON IT. AND I, YOU KNOW, I SAID, I HAVE TO AGREE WITH HIM THAT FIRST OFF, YOU HAVE THE SAFETY FACTOR. SECOND I CAN'T PIN DOWN EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING TO GO THERE. AND YOU KNOW, JUST THAT ALONE LEADS ME TO NOT REZONE THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY UNTIL IT CAN BE BETTER TO FIND OR BETTER PIN DOWN OF WHAT? WHAT BUSINESS IS GOING TO GO THERE AND HOW IT'S GOING TO AFFECT THAT AREA AS FAR AS TRAFFIC AND SAFETY. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHERE I STAND ON IT. ANY OTHER COLORS. I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS NOW. FOR WAYNE HEARING. WHAT SPECIFICALLY , I TALKED WITH SOME OF THEM INDIVIDUALLY, BUT, UM, NEEDED TO HEAR SOME OF THESE DIFFERENT THINGS. UM WAYNE OWN ON THE CORNER AND THE CURVE, UM SAYINGF HE'S GOING TO THE D O AND WITH THE DANGER OF THE CURVE AND KNOW THAT HE TRIPPED AND WARRANTS WERE CREATED THAT SIGNALIZED BIG BUCK. AND THAT LITTLE INTERSECTION RIGHT THERE. IS IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IN THE CURVE IS THERE A WAY TO EXPAND? UM AND I KNOW THERE IS THE LEFT HAND TURN LANE NOW AS YOU'RE COMING BUT TO LIKE WHAT THE DAVISES MENTIONED ABOUT PATRICK FURTHER DOWN. IS THERE A WAY TO KIND OF EXPAND THIS OUT? TO CREATE SOME PROTECTIONS INSIDE OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BECAUSE WHETHER THIS PASSES TODAY OR NOT, IT'S HE'S IN SIGNALS HIS INTENTION AND AS THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE SAID THEY WOULD LIKE MORE SPECIFICITY. SO IF HE COMES BACK WITH MORE SPECIFICITY, WE'RE GOING TO BE RIGHT HERE AGAIN. SO I'D KIND OF LIKE FOR THEM TO AT LEAST HEAR THIS PART OF THE CONVERSATION AS WELL IN THIS MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WAS MORE OF A KEY THING. AND HE GOT HIS THING DONE, AND HE RAN. SO I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY
[00:40:05]
WHERE YOU KNOW WHERE THAT ANSWER WOULD BE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M ASKING? THANKS. SO DURING THE DEVELOPMENT ORDERING YOU PROCESS, WHICH IS IF THIS IS EVENTUALLY APPROVED FOR SOME SORT OF COMMERCIAL USE. UM, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY CAN JUST GO OUT AND START BUILDING SOMETHING. THEY WOULD HAVE SUBMITTED DEVELOPMENT OR APPLICATION. AND PART OF THAT REVIEW. WE LOOK AT THE TRANSPORTATION TRAFFIC IMPACTS. UM, AND IT IS USE SPECIFIC. SO DIFFERENT USES WILL GENERATE DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF NEW TRAFFIC TRIPS. AND BASED ON THOSE NUMBERS. AH! WE REVIEWED IT TO ENSURE THAT IT'S GOING TO REMAIN SAFE AND IT IF IT REQUIRES IMPROVEMENTS BASED ON THE TOP OF USE. THEN WE WOULD WE WOULD HAVE THE DEVELOPER. AND THERE'S IMPROVEMENTS. GUY AND THOSE IMPROVEMENTS COULD INCLUDE. I MEAN NO GUARANTEES. BUT WHAT WHAT ARE SIMILAR SITUATED WEATHER? WHAT ARE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE DONE IN SOMETHING LIKE THAT? YOU COULD BE ADDED TURN LANES. UM THEY COULD BE SIGNAL IZATION COULD BE RECONFIGURING THE INTERSECTION ITSELF. MHM. THERE'S A WHOLE. THERE'S A DIFFERENT GAMUT OF TYPES OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT COULD BE REQUIRED. SMALL PARCEL LIKE THIS WOULD BE UNLIKELY THEY'D BE DOING MAJOR ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS. I MEAN IT. ON PAPER PROBABLY WON'T EVEN TRIGGER ETERNALLY BECAUSE YOU TYPICALLY LOOKING AT 40 PM PEAKS , YOU KNOW, AND IN THAT AREA, THAT TYPE OF BUSINESS ON THAT SIDE OF THE PORTAL. IT PROBABLY EVEN TRIGGERED SO THE BEST YOU'D GET SOME SEPARATION FOR SOME INTERSECTIONS, WHICH YOU KNOW, UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT THE BUSINESS IS. YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TRIPS ARE. YOU DON'T YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ANALYZE IT. WELL, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHETHER IT'S A DRIVE THROUGH BANK YOU KNOW, DRIVE THROUGH. BANKS TRADITIONALLY HAVE HIGHER PMP CRATES OR CONVENIENCE STORE WITHOUT GAS. I MEAN, SO IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT THE USES AND WHAT THE DRIVERS ARE. WELL AND TO THAT END, UM I SAT DOWN WITH THE APPLICANT LAST WEEK AND WAS ASKING HIM BECAUSE MY FIRST CONVERSATION AFTER SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME IN HERE AND SPOKEN ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO ME. I SAT DOWN AND TALKED WITH HIM FROM THE STANDPOINT OF AS PAUL DAVIS RIGHTLY POINTED OUT HOW CLOSE IT IS TO THE POINT PROTECTION ZONE, AND IT'S JUST BY A FLUKE OF STATE STATUTES THAT WE CUT THIS IN LINE WITH A SECTION LINE THAT THERE WAS NO WAY I WOULD EVER BE COMFORTABLE WITH TAKING A RISK TO WHAT WE SEE WAY OVER HERE TO THE RIGHT THERE POINT LANGUAGES, THE DRINKING WATER FOR OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND DOING FUEL TANKS. AND JUST HAD THAT THAT WAS A NON STARTER FOR ME. UM ONE OF THE THINGS INSIDE OF THIS AND THIS IS GOING TO GO TO A BIGGER THING, AND I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. IN SOME OF Y'ALL SUPPORTED ME. SOME OF Y'ALL RAN AGAINST ME. AND BUT A LOT OF Y'ALL TALKED WITH AND ONE OF MY REQUESTS OF Y'ALL WAS THAT Y'ALL WOULD PRAY FOR ME TO HAVE WISDOM TO KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND YOU COMMITTED TO DO THAT. AND SO I'M GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL SOME OF MY THOUGHTS RIGHT NOW INSIDE OF THIS AS WELL. I HEAR YOU ALL ABOUT. IT'S ALL RESIDENTIAL. BUT THERE'S A LOT OF GROWTH THAT IS COMING TO THAT AREA. AND SO THE BIGGER PICTURE IS ALSO THAT I'M LOOKING AT HIS QUESTIONING AND ASKING THIS AND NOT TRYING TO COME TO AN ULTIMATE TRYING TO FIT WHAT I WANT, BUT ASKING THIS QUESTION. WE'VE GOT A LOT MORE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IS COMING.WE'VE GOT A LOT MORE THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE GOING. I'M LOOKING AT AND HAVE BEEN LISTENING SINCE I PICKED UP THE WEST END OF THE BEACH AND SINCE I GOT UP HERE AND BEFORE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT TRAFFIC AND HAVING TO GET PLACES AND HOW MUCH TRAFFIC IS ON THE ROAD A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK. WE WERE SITTING UP HERE AND WE HAD SOMEBODY THAT AGAIN ON THE DRIVE BY, UM SET UP. THEY'RE ALL THERE. THEIR BUSINESS WAS COMMERCIAL, BUT THEY GOT SOMEHOW ZONED RESIDENTIAL, AND THEY WANTED TO PUT A HARDWARE STORE. IN AN AREA THAT WOULD REDUCE TRIPS ON MAJOR ROADS LIKE 23, 1 AND 2, 31 AND OTHERS. AND SO THAT'S ANOTHER QUESTION THAT I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT I'M ASKING IS IN LOOKING AT THIS, UNDERSTAND THE CURVE AND IT IS A CONCERN. AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I MENTIONED TO HIM AS WELL. BUT IF WE CAN HAVE IN THAT SMALL AREA, SOME KIND OF A POCKET AND NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL THAT WOULD BE A STORE OR SOMETHING THAT COULD KEEP PEOPLE OFF OF THE ROADS. AND I'M FINE. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME ON THAT I'M JUST SHARING WITH Y'ALL. WHAT'S GOING THROUGH MY MIND? IS IN THE QUESTIONS TO ASK IS HOW DO WE DO THIS? IN A WAY? ARE WE GOING TO PUT MORE TRAFFIC ON 77? WE'RE GOING TO MAKE OTHER PLACES MORE DANGEROUS AS WELL. THIS IS NOT A GOOD INTERSECTION. I MEAN, THEY GOT 90 MILLION TO TRY TO SAVE SOME OTHER THINGS. BUT IN TALKING WITH HIM WHAT I WAS TOLD IS HE WANTS TO PUT A RESTAURANT
[00:45:07]
THERE. THAT'S THAT'S WHAT HE TOLD ME. AND SO IF IT'S A RESTAURANT, YOU KNOW, AND THEN MY ENGINEERS ARE TO MY LEFT, BUT THEY KNOW WHAT'S THERE? UM IN WHAT THOSE THINGS ARE, SO THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF THE QUESTIONS THAT PERSONALLY I WAS LOOKING AT, AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH AND LOOKING AT THIS WAS DEFINITELY NOTHING RELATED TO ANY FUEL TANKS EVER GOING IN THAT GROUND.AND BUT WHAT COULD BE DONE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY AND NOT NECESSARILY BE HEAVY DEVELOPMENT AND SO THAT THOSE WERE WHERE MY THOUGHTS WERE. MR. IF SUBJECTS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IS MY FATHER SAYS, I'LL NEVER BEING ACCUSED OF UNDER THINKING PORTION IS CLOSED. YES. SO. I'D LIKE TO GET THIS SEVERAL THINGS AS WELL. SO I ALIGN WITH DOUG ON THE FACT THAT THE GAS STATION TO ME IS A CONCERN BECAUSE OF THE DEER POINT. PROTECTIONS ON THE LAKE IS OBVIOUSLY VERY CLOSE AND VERY DEAR TO US AND WHAT WE USED TO DRINK. SO THAT'S A THAT'S AN ISSUE. AND I UNDERSTAND THE BALANCE BETWEEN COMMERCIAL AND NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A BALANCE. THE GROWTH IS HAPPENING IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD. YOU KNOW THAT IT'S HAPPENING ACROSS THE STREET WITH THE HARDEST BY DEVELOPMENT. BUT IF YOU PAY CLOSE ATTENTION, AND I KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DEVELOPMENT KIRKLAND MANNER. IF YOU NOTICE THAT PARCEL THAT JUMPED OUT AT THE END, IT'S THAT BIG, RECTANGULAR PIECE. WHEN WERE YOU SLIDE THAT CURSE FOREVER TO IT? RIGHT THERE. THAT WAS DESIGNED TO BE COMMERCIAL. THAT WAS PLANTED FOR THAT.
THERE'S NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER. WHEN THAT FLAT WAS DRAWN, THAT WAS JUNKED OUT TO BE A COMMERCIAL ZONE. MIGHT NOT BE RIGHT NOW, BUT EVENTUALLY I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE ASKED FOR AS WELL. UM I'M A BIG PROPERTY RIGHTS GUY, AND I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU OWN YOUR PROPERTY WITHIN NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE THAT, YOU'VE GOT TO BE RESPECTFUL TO BE NARROWLY, BUT ALSO BELIEVE IF YOU OWN IT, AND YOU'VE BEEN PAYING TAXES ON IT, YOU'VE GOT SOME RIGHTS INVESTED AS WELL. BUT I ALSO DON'T LIKE SPECULATION AND NOT LIKE SPECULATIVE ZONING. I DON'T LIKE TO GAS TO COME IN HERE, TOO. TRY TO, YOU KNOW. YOU KNOW, USE THE SYSTEM TO GAIN TO GAIN FOR A GAME, AND IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR DECADES, AND WE AND SOMETIMES IT'S MERITED AND SOMETIMES IT'S NOT, UH. I SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU FOLKS, BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE A YOU'RE A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY OUT THERE AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN BUT IT'S SLOWLY EVOLVING AND IT REALLY IS. BIG BUCKS IS ONE OF THOSE MISTAKES THAT WAS MADE IN 2000 AND FOUR IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ZONE COMMERCIAL BECAUSE BIG BUCKS HAS BEEN THERE. SINCE THE EARLY NINETIES THAT I KNOW OF MAYBE BEFORE THAT. THEY SHOULD COME FIX THAT BEFORE. TO HAVE A FIRE, FLOOD OR HURRICANE AND IT GOES TO THE GROUND, AND THEN THERE ARE NON CONFORMING USE, AND THEY'RE IN TROUBLE. BECAUSE BECAUSE THEN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD UP THERE WILL HAVE NOTHING. TO GO GET A SNACK OR A GAS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO BUT I DO UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS. I TOTALLY SYMPATHIZE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT'S A. I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE BEGINNING WHEN THAT PARCEL WAS CHUNKED OUT AS FOUR ACRES OF ANYBODY EVER THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE A COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR. BUT I DO BELIEVE THE FUTURE. THERE IS GOING TO BE MORE COMMERCIAL ON THAT CORRIDOR. IT'S JUST INEVITABLE. AND I THINK THAT KIRKLAND MASTERPIECE WILL BE ONE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. WE'LL SEE COME TO US AS WELL. BUT I DO SYMPATHIZE. I FEEL LIKE THERE HAS TO BE A SOFT SPOT. A COUPLE OF THE CONCERNS I GOT ASKED UM STRIP JOINTS. STRIP JOINTS AREN'T ALLOWED WITH HIM. 1500 FT OF A RESIDENT. DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. THAT'S OFF THE TABLE. ALCOHOL SALES. 1000 FT AWAY FROM IT ANY TYPE OF PLACE OF WORSHIP. VERY CLOSE. VERY VERY CLOSE TO 1000 FT, DEPENDING UPON FRONT DOORS VERY CLOSE. SO THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT HE CANNOT DO. BUT THEY'RE ALSO ALLOWABLE USES RETAIL STORES LESS THAN 30,000 SQUARE FEET. GAS STATIONS, CONVENIENCE STORES , FOOD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENTS, DRUGSTORES, PHARMACIES, LAUNDROMATS, DAYCARES, FLORISTS , FLOWER SHOPS, NOVELTY CLOTHING, AUTOSPORT AUTO PARTS. PACKAGE STORES WITHOUT CONSUMPTION, WHICH THAT'S GONNA BE AN ISSUE BED AND BREAKFAST INNS, FINANCE AND INSURANCE, FOOD AND BEVERAGE STORES. SO, UT COULD COMPLEMENT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL. SO I DO UNDERSTAND CONCERNS. THIS IS WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE LAND, USE MAPS AND EVEN GOT INTO THE ZONE THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IS ONLY BUT THIS IS JUST THE FUTURE OF ANDY'S. YEAH BUT I DO COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THAT AVERAGE CONCERNS AND I GET IT BUT ALSO I LOOK OUT THERE AND KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME CHANGES IN THE FUTURE AS WELL. WHAT YOU GOT, MR CHAIRMAN. I HAD PULLED UP MY LIST OF ALL THE SYSTEM WAS GOING TO READ THEM. BUT FEW VICTIMS TO
[00:50:05]
THAT. DID IT OLD SCHOOL AND PLAN. AND THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT WAS THE USES. I MEAN, THIS IS AGAIN. YOU GOT TO GET TO THE LAND USE BEFORE YOU GET TO ZONING. UM I WAS NOT CONTACTED BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I MADE A PHONE CALL TO A NEIGHBOR IN THAT AREA AND JUST ASK THEIR OPINION AND WHAT WAS EXPRESSED TO ME IS THE MAIN CONCERN WAS GAS STATION GAS STATIONS.THEY'VE GOT THE HIGHEST TRIP HIM OUT, SO THAT WOULD BE THE. PROBABLY THE WORST USE AS FAR AS TRAFFIC GOES AND DANGEROUS. IN. I KNOW WE CAN PUT ALL KINDS OF CONDITIONS. WHATEVER WE WANT ON THESE ITEMS THE YOU KNOW THE SAFEST THING WOULD BE IF YOU WERE TO PUT ACCESS LIKE HOME RISOTTO BEACH ROAD. I'M NOT SAYING TO PUT THAT AS A CONDITION, BUT IF THIS DID GET APPROVED, THAT I WOULD STATE THAT YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD PROBABLY WANT TO ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT THE ACCESS GIVES US FAR AWAY FROM THAT INTERSECTION BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, AND LOOK AT SOME TURN LANES. THERE MAY BE SOME STIPULATIONS THAT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY OF THIS AREA, I MEAN EVERYBODY HATES HIM, BUT. MAYBE A PERFECT PLACE FOR AROUND ABOUT TO SLOW THE TRAFFIC DOWN THE ROAD ITSELF. I MEAN, JUST THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITIES THERE THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS HERE, BECAUSE YOU GET ON THIS ROAD AND IT IS JUST A STRAIGHT AWAY. I MEAN, I WOULD IMAGINE IF YOU GO OUT THERE AND CLOCHE CARS WRITING, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE PROBABLY RUNNING 70 75 MILES AN HOUR. AND IF YOU'RE NOT FROM THERE, THAT CURVE JUMPS UP ON YOU. WE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND MR GRIFFIN'S DISTRICT OUT AT MAGNOLIA, UM, THAT THEY POINT.
IT'S THIS. THIS LOOKS JUST LIKE IT. IF YOU WERE JUST A CUT AND PASTE THE MAPS. THIS IS IDENTICAL TO THAT CURVE, SO I THINK THERE'S SOME SAFETY ISSUES THAT WE AS A COMMISSION WE NEED TO LOOK AT. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS WHETHER THIS GOES FORWARD OR NOT. UM, BUT WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS, UM NO CONVENIENCE STORE, WHICH I AGREE. WE'RE TOO CLOSE TO THE POINT PROTECTION AREA. I DEFINITELY WOULD NOT WANT TO SEE THAT. BUT IT MAY BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR TRYING TO PUT A DAYCARE, A FLOWER SHOP. YOU ASKED FOR A CONDITIONER USE. YOU COULD PUT A CANNABIS DISPENSING FACILITIES, BUT THAT'S A WHOLE ANOTHER PROCESS. BUT I DIDN'T WANT THAT. ON THE RECORD THAT IS WITH A CONDITIONAL USE. YOU HAVE TO COME IN. YEAH SO. BUT IN THE COMMUNITY I GREW UP IN SOUTHPORT, YOU KNOW, AND, UM YOU KNOW, WE WERE LIMITED ON RESTAURANTS IN THE DAY THEY CLOSED PENNIES, BUT FORTUNATELY STILL HOUSE AND SEAFOOD RESTAURANT. I GOTTA WASH MANIA DISHES THERE. SO, UM BUT YOU KNOW, IT MAY BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A RESTAURANT SENT ME THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE THIS AREA IS JUST REALLY GROWING A LOT FASTER THAN ANYONE ANTICIPATED. BUT I JUST PUT THAT OUT THERE THAT IF THIS DID GET APPROVED THAT WELL FIRST BEFORE IT EVEN DOES. I'D LIKE TO STAFFERS BUT LOOK AT THIS INTERSECTION JUST TO SEE IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME IMPROVEMENTS. UM, BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS. BUT. NO CONCERN. SO I SAY NO CONCERN. STAFF RECOMMENDED APPROVAL WHAT THE PLANNING BOARD WERE GUARDING THE ZONING, SOMEWHAT SPOT ZONING.
THERE IS SOME SOMEWHAT COMMERCIAL EVEN THOUGH HIS OWN RESIDENTIAL AND FISH AND WILDLIFE IN THIS AREA, WHICH IS BASICALLY AN OFFICE USE THAT'S ANOTHER ONE THAT JUST SOUTH OF THERE I THINK THERE WERE SOME HOME BUSINESSES IN THAT AREA AT ONE TIME. COMMERCIAL USE THREE CHURCHES? YEAH IS THE SEPARATION. FOR ENOUGH MORE THAN 1000 FT FROM A PLACE OF WORSHIP.
IT'S DOING CLOSE. IT'S RIGHT AT WE MEASURED YESTERDAY IS RIGHT OUT OF 1000 FT OR OR A LITTLE BIT MORE, AND THAT'S A CONDITION THAT CAN BE PLACED ON IT THAT THAT USE COULD NOT BE HONEST PIECE OF PROPERTY, BUT THAT'S CONFIGURATION OF THE BUILDING AND THEY WON'T KNOW FRONT DOORS.
HOW THE STEPS WE GET. TO GET TO THE BUT MY POINT IS, IF THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS A CONCERN, AND WE COULD SAY OKAY, THIS COULD BE APPROVED THIS HOWEVER, YOU CAN'T HAVE THIS USE. YOU CAN'T HAVE THIS USE OF THOSE ARE OPPORTUNITIES, ARE THEY NOT? WHEN MAKES YOUR JOB MORE DIFFICULT TO TRY TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T COME THERE. SO I THINK THE ONLY TALKED ABOUT THE 1000 FT FROM THE PLACE OF WORSHIP. WOULD ONLY APPLY TO, UH ADULT USES USES WOULD BE ALLOWED ANYWAY BECAUSE IT'S SO CLOSE TO RESIDENTIAL AND ALSO ALCOHOL CELLS. THAT'S YOUR PRIMARY BUSINESS. YOU'D BE RESTRICTED BY THOSE DISTANCES ONLY TYPES OF USES THAT WOULD BE RESTRICTED BY THE PROXIMITY TO THE HOUSEHOLD. YES I WAS JUST SAYING, IF IT HAD THAT SEPARATION BECAUSE THEY CAN PLACE THE BUILDING IN A CORNER. IF THAT WORRY CONCERN THAT SOMEONE DIDN'T WANT A PACKAGE DOOR BAR SITTING THERE THAT MAY BE THE USE OF EVERYBODY WANTS. I HAVE NO IDEA. SO I JUST PUT THAT OUT THERE. OKAY, GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE REALLY TALKED ABOUT THIS ONE LONGER THAN ANY OTHER REASON WE'VE EVER HAD SO WELL. ECONOMIC ANOTHER. ABSOLUTELY. OKAY SO MUCH. IN MY OPINION. MY POINT IS THAT UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT USE IS GOING THERE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT RESTRICTIONS TO PUT ON THEM. WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO ADDRESS THE PARTICULAR PARTICULAR ITEM. JUST A BLANKET AND SPECULATE, OKAY. I WANT TO CHANGE THIS ZONING AND THEY PUT THIS HERE AND THEY PUT THAT THERE. IN A SENSITIVE AREA
[00:55:02]
LIKE THIS, AND THE SENSITIVE. THIS IS A SENSITIVE LOT. IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY. EVEN THOUGH THE CORRIDOR NOT RECOGNIZE THE CORRIDOR OVER A PERIOD TIME. THIS COLLECTOR CORRIDOR IS GOING TO BE TURNED INTO COMMERCIAL. IS NO QUESTION ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF THE GROWTH FACTOR. BUT THIS SENSITIVE LOT. IF WE CAN'T PIN DOWN WHAT IT IS , AND WE CAN ADDRESS WE CANNOT ADDRESS WHAT CONDITIONS WE WANT TO PUT ON WHATEVER'S GOING THERE AS FAR AS INGRESS AND EGRESS AS FAR AS SAFETY AS FAR AS LIGHTING SO MANY DIFFERENT FACTORS. SO WITHOUT THAT, I JUST YOU KNOW, I CAN'T MOVE FORWARD AND JUST CHANGE THIS LOT FROM FUTURE LAND USE OF FROM FROM RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL. ANY OTHER COMMENT. ANYBODY LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? I MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE DENY THE APPLICATION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? HEART WELL FAILS FOR LACK OF SECOND. DO WE HAVE ANOTHER MOTION? BASED ON THESE CONVERSATIONS I ACTUALLY HAVE A REQUEST IS, COULD WE. I THINK I THINK I KNOW THE ANSWER BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU SAID. AND ABOUT THEIR CONCERN, AND WHAT WE'VE ALL ACKNOWLEDGED, IS RELATES TO THE INTERSECTION. OF. THEY'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU SAID AROUND ABOUT HER OR DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT, AND THEN ALSO FROM THE STANDPOINT OF I THINK THE APPLICANT SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO. SPECIFICALLY STATE. I MEAN, THEY'VE COME FORWARD AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES SAID THAT IT WAS A PLACEHOLDER. I THINK YOU KNOW. ONE IF THEY ARE ON THAT, BUT IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN DELAY AND LOOK AT FROM THE STANDPOINT OF DOING SOMETHING TO IMPROVE THIS TRAFFIC ISSUE. ON THAT INTERSECTION AS WELL. YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THAT IT CAN BE TABLED. WHATEVER THE DESIRE OF THIS BOARD IS. YOU CAN APPROVE DENYING TABLE. BUT I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, AND THIS IS THIS IS LEARNING THE NEW SIDE OF IT IS, UM. FROM THE STANDPOINT OF LOOKING AT, UM, IS DO WE TABLE? HOW LONG CAN IT BE TO A DATE? CERTAIN HOW WE DO IT. WE TABLED TO A DATE CERTAIN YOU CAN DO THAT, OR SO I'M. WHERE WOULD YOU BE ASKING THE REQUEST OF THE APPLICANT TO COME UP WITH THE TYPE OF USE THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING ORWELL SAFETY AND WHEN I MET WITH HIM LAST WEEK, THEY SAID RESTAURANT AND SO IF THEY'VE SAID RESTAURANT AND Y'ALL ARE ALL SAYING WHERE THOSE THINGS ARE IN AND WE DO HAVE THE ISSUE OF TRAFFIC CONCERN AND THOSE THINGS. THIS IS WHERE, UM, YOU KNOW. I TOLD BOB A WEEK AGO OR TWO WEEKS AGO TO ME, THIS THIS RIGHT HERE IS A MICROCOSM OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE FACING GOING FORWARD WITH EVERYTHING WITH ALL THE DEVELOPMENT WE'VE GOTTEN. SO HOW DO WE HOW DO WE TRY TO BALANCE EVERYTHING OUT AND ALSO TOLD BOB VIEW MYSELF THAT I'M A MEDIATOR AND MY OTHER JOB, AND TYPICALLY WHEN A MEDIATION NO SIDES ARE REALLY HAPPY WITH YOU, AND THAT'S WHEN YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT A GOOD MEDIATION, BUT THEY DON'T THINK THAT BUT FROM THAT, UM AT THIS POINT IN TIME, I WOULD REQUEST THAT WE. TABLE A MOTION UNTIL AE SECOND MEETING IN MARCH. GIVE HIM TIME TO REVISE AND THEN FOR US TO GET A BETTER IDEA OF TRAFFIC AND POTENTIALLY COULD BE DONE THERE AS WELL WITH STAFF. DROVE SECOND ON THAT. MY SECOND EMOTION, BUT I'D LIKE TO HAVE SOME CLARIFICATION FOR DISCUSSION, TOO. SO WE EXPECTING THE APPLICANT TO COME BACK THE SECOND MEETING IN MARCH TO HAVE THE PLAN. NO SPECULATION. WE'D LIKE FOR HIM TO TELL US WHAT IT IS BECAUSE TO ME. I MEAN, LIKE WE SAID, WE'RE ALLOWED TO PUT CONDITIONS ON THIS PROPERTY AND WE CAN DO THAT AND WE CAN DO IT. BUT A LOT OF TIMES AT THE PLANNING BOARD LEVEL WHEN I WAS ON THERE WAS ON THE PLANET BOARD FOR NINE YEARS. AND I KNOW THAT A LOT OF THESE QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED IF THE APPLICANT AND THE NEIGHBORS GET TOGETHER. AND SIT DOWN AND KIND OF WORK OUT OF DISCUSSION. I'M NOT SURE IF THE APPLICANTS WILLING TO DO THAT. IT'S OBVIOUS THE NEIGHBORS HAVE SOME CONCERNS, AND I THINK I KNOW SEVERAL OF THEM AND I KNOW THEY'D BE WILLING TO SIT DOWN, MAYBE TO FIGURE OUT A COMPROMISE . IF THERE IS A SOFT SPOT TO LAND IN. WELL, I AM A MEDIATOR, SO I'VE GOT NO PROBLEM GETTING WITH THE OTHER SIDE AND PULLING THEM TOGETHER AND TRY AND IF[01:00:03]
PART OF THAT MOTION IS THE COMMISSIONER, MORE PLAYS MEDIATOR INTERESTED. NO BUT I DO . I DO THINK MAYBE THERE'S SOME, UM THERE'S LEGITIMATE CONCERNS, BUT ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE FUTURE MIGHT CREATE. THE SAME CONCERNS AND ARGUMENTS AND, YOU KNOW, IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE. I THINK THIS WILL NOT BE THE LAST TIME THAT ONE OF THESE IS UP IN FRONT OF THE COUNTY COMMISSION TO TALK ABOUT A REZONING IF I'M BIG BUCKS, I'M HERE NEXT MONTH. I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE ANY IDEA THE DELICATE BALANCING ACT THERE SITTING ON TO BE A NONCONFORMING USE OUT THERE. I THINK. I THINK WE NEED TO REACH IN MY OPINION STAFF NEEDS TO REACH OUT THE BIG BUCKS AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HIM ABOUT THEIR POSITION AND THEY NEED WE NEED TO INITIATE THAT. SO GET THIS TAKEN CARE IF THEY WOULD HAVE COME TO US IN 2000 AND 567. THEY JUST GOT IT DONE FOR FREE FOR FREE, RIGHT? BUT NOW WELL, WE COULD HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WHENEVER THEY COME TO US. BECAUSE YOU KNOW THEY WERE OVERLOOKED. THAT WAS THAT WAS A COMMERCIAL USE LONG BEFORE ZONING CAME IN. AND CAN YOU PULL UP THE AERIAL LANE LIKE A SILENT. WE HAVE. WE'VE GOT THREE CHURCHES. BIG BUCKS.BUT YOUR MONEY CONSTRUCTION WITH ALL THAT WE ONLY GOT OUT THERE. THAT'S ON 23 21. THAT IS ESSENTIALLY NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL, RIGHT? SO THAT CHANGES DEFINITELY THE FUTURE WILL PROBABLY NOT BE PALATABLE TO SOME OF Y'ALL OUT THERE. THERE WILL BE A COMMERCIAL COMING ALONG THAT CORRIDOR. BUT I AM IN FAVOR OF SOME SORT OF TRY TO. MEETING OF THE MINDS TO SEE IF THERE IS SOME SORT OF AGREEMENT OUT THERE. IF OUR ONE OF THOSE BIG HOMES PARK NEXT TO THAT PARTIAL, I'D BE VERY CONCERNED TO WHAT WAS GOING ON NEXT DOOR TO ME, TOO. BECAUSE THOSE ARE THAT ONE HOME IS BIG. WE'VE GOT A MOTION IN THE SECOND ONE MORE COMMENT. SO WITH THIS MOTION TO TABLE UM. YEAH I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE COMMUNITY GET TOGETHER WITH THE DEVELOPER WORK SOMETHING OUT. THAT'S AMENABLE TO BOTH THAT THAT'S ACCEPTABLE. BUT WHEN THIS COMES BACK TO US, I BELIEVE WE NEED TO TIE DOWN WHATEVER USES GOING THERE. I DON'T LIKE THIS SPECULATIVE STUFF. IT COULD BE A VARIETY OF THINGS I NEEDED. IN THIS SENSITIVE AREA. THEY NEED TO PINPOINT WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE. IF IT'S GOING TO BE A RESTAURANT HE NEEDS TO THAT NEEDS TO BE IN WRITING ON THE APPLICATION, UNDERSTAND? IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE A VERBAL THAT HE CAN CHANGE LATER UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED. THAT'S WHY THAT'S WHY I DID THIS, BUT I HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION OF POTENTIAL. BECAUSE THE COUNTY MANAGER JUST BROUGHT UP SOMETHING THAT THE ROOKIE NEEDED TO THINK ABOUT. SO I'M GOING TO ASK THE ATTORNEYS OVER THERE. UM, IF. IF ONE MONTH IS NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS IS THERE AND WILL BE ENGAGING DURING THAT TIME. BUT IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH TIME CAN I COME BACK AT ANOTHER MEETING AND BRING TO THE FLOOR AND SAY KIND OF GIVE EVERYBODY A STATUS UPDATE, AND WE NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME. KIND OF LIKE WHAT TO DO IN THE MEDIATIONS. COME BACK. YEAH YOU CAN TABLE AGAIN AT THAT SECOND MEETING IN MARCH, OKAY? OKAY AND FOR THE RECORD THE CANNABIS FACILITY AS A CONDITIONAL USE, WHICH MEANS THEY HAVE TO COME. ASK US FOR IT. AND I DON'T SPEAK FOR MY OTHER FOUR GUYS ARE APPOINTED. ACTUALLY POINT ABOARD WOULD DO BUT I DON'T SPEAK FOR THE PLANNING BOARD FEEL PRETTY CERTAIN YOU'RE OKAY. THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN OUT THERE SO. JUST NOT LEGAL. IT IS SOUTHPORT UNDERSTAND? STRIKE THAT FROM THE RECORDS. SO FROM THAT, CLARIFY MY MOTION, THEN WOULD BE TO TABLE THIS TILL THIS ONE MONTH. THE SECOND MEETING IN MARCH, UM WITH WHAT? COMMISSIONER DOZIER WAS ASKING FOR WITH DEFINITIVE APPLICATION REVISIONS FROM THE APPLICANT OF STATING HIS RESTAURANT RESTAURANT AND PUTTING THAT IN THERE AND IN THE INTERIM BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. I GET THE TALK MORE TO MY NEIGHBORS. THERE. UM. WE HAVE EMOTIONS SECOND. CAN WE GET A ROCO? COMMISSIONER MORE YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER GRIFFITH. YES, COMMISSIONER DOES YES, MA'AM. CHAIRMAN CAROL? YES, MA'AM. WHICH THAT MEANS WE SKIPPED ITEM 23. AND WE WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM 24. PZ 22 DAYS 003 P U D FRONT BEACH ROAD TOWN HOMES EAST FRONT BEACH ROAD. MR PORTER. CHAIRMAN. QUESTION REAL QUICK. ABSOLUTELY BEFORE WE MOVED PAST 23 DON IS THERE
[01:05:09]
BECAUSE IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING DO WE NEED TO HAVE THAT CONTINUED AS WELL? SO WE CAN AVOID HAVING TO RE ADVERTISE AND I THINK IT'S AND YOU MAY HAVE FOLKS HERE THAT WANT JUST PROCEDURALLY TO SAVE US. MAKES SENSE. YEAH YOU MAY WANT TO OPEN BECAUSE CHAIRMAN ABLE THAT TABLE HAPPENS, OKAY?[23. PZ 21-309 Rezoning – 3437 Hwy. 2321]
CLEAN IT UP. WE'LL OPEN UP PZ 21-39 REZONING 3437 HIGHWAY 23 TO 1. WE NEED A MOTION TO EXTEND THAT AS WELL. MOTION TO EXTEND ON THE SAME PRINCIPLES AS THE PRIORITY.

CAN'T ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? I'VE GOT ONE MISSED WATER SO THE ZONE WOULD STAY THE SAME. BUT WE'RE DOING A P U D TRADITIONALLY BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL WE REQUIRE TYPE A B C D DIFFERENT TYPE OF LANDSCAPE BUFFERS WITH A BUFFER BE REQUIRED BECAUSE THE COMMERCIAL OF THE SOUTH THEY DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GOING TO BE RESIDENTIAL, SO THEY DIDN'T PUT IN A BUFFER. SO IS A BUFFER GOING TO BE REQUIRED BETWEEN THOSE TWO USES, SINCE IT'S NOW A RESIDENTIAL USE. WITH THE ZONING STAYING THE SAME, THERE WOULD BE NO BUFFER REQUIREMENT. AND WITH IT BEING PRIVATE DURING 50 FT RIGHT AWAYS , BUT THEN THEY HAVE THE EASEMENTS, WHICH MAKES IT 60.FT. ESSENTIALLY, UM BUT IF WE ACCEPT IT AS PRIVATE, THERE'S NO POSSIBLE WAY THAT THEY COULD TRY TO COME BACK AND DEDICATED TO THE COUNTY. CORRECT EVEN IF THE ROADS WERE BUILT OUR STANDARDS, BUT BECAUSE OF THE RIGHT AWAY WITH WE WOULD NOT ACCEPT IT. THAT'S CORRECT, OK? AND JUST TO ADD A COUPLE OF THINGS. WE DID RECEIVE A COUPLE EMAILS. UH, AN OBJECTION TO THIS. PROPOSAL IT SHOULD BE WITHIN YOU IN YOUR FILES. THOSE CONCERNS WERE TYPICAL TRANSPORTATION RELATED.
AH AND TURNS ABOUT IT BEING LOW INCOME. REYNOLDS. THAT SORT OF THING, OKAY? AND IT'S CONNECTED IN FRONT BEACH ROAD, SO THAT ACCESS THEY WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH DEPARTMENT TRANSPORTATION TO GET AN ACCESS RULE FOR THAT. THAT'S CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DAN? WITH THE AFRICAN LIKE TO COME IN A DRESS. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING IS RAY GREER. MY ADDRESS IS 29 10 CARRY FORCE PARKWAY. TELL US THE FLORIDA AND I AM THE APPLICANTS, REPRESENTATIVE. WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TODAY WITH THIS PART AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'RE FRONT BEACH ROAD FRONT BEACH DRUG CONTAINS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF C THREE COMMERCIAL. MAN WITH THE COMMERCIAL ON THE BEACH. WHEN THE THINGS THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES, IT'S ALLOWED RESIDENTIAL INSIDE THAT COMMERCIAL SO BY ALLOWING THIS PUD WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO WITH THIS SIDE IS TO BRING RESIDENTIAL INTO THIS STRIPPED OUT CORRIDOR OF FRONT BEACH ROAD FROM EACH ROW CONTAINS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF COMMERCIAL. MAINLY AROUND OUR SIDE IS RESTAURANTS. IT'S OFFICE. IT'S A LOT OF RETAIL. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO IS TO ADD IN RESIDENTIAL AND WHAT WE'RE DOING. GETTING CONSIDERING THE LOCATION IS PUTTING IN TOWN HOMES TO MAKE IT MORE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING LAND USERS VERSUS SINGLE FAMILY. WE WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY GET A TOWN HOME DEVELOPMENT LAID OUT ON THIS SIDE, UTILIZING THE PUG, PROVIDING ADDITIONAL. BEACHERS SUCH AS WALKING AREAS USING THAT OPEN SPACE THAT WE WILL HAVE ON THIS SITE AND CREATE SOME NATURAL AREAS CONNECT THOSE AREAS, WALKING SPACES, TRAILS INTO THE OVERALL SIDEWALKS. BEFORE THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT, BUT BY DOING THIS WILL REDUCE OVERALL VEHICLE TRIPS BY PROVIDING RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN
[01:10:05]
CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE COMMERCIAL THAT IS SURROUNDING THIS AREA. SO INSTEAD OF JUST DEVELOPING THIS SIDE IS ANOTHER COMMERCIAL AREA, CONTINUING THE STRIPPED OUT PATTERN. FRONT BEACH ROAD. WE'RE ACTUALLY DEVELOPING A BETTER MIXED USE ALTERNATIVE. AND THAT'S THE WHOLE INTENT BEHIND THE C THREE AND ALLOWING THE RESIDENTIAL ON THE BEACH IS TO PROVIDE FOR A MIX OF USES, AND SOME OF THESE AREAS ACTUALLY WORK TOGETHER AND HELP TO REDUCE OVERALL VEHICLE TRIAL. TRIPS. BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. ANY QUESTIONS? JUST QUITE ONE QUESTION. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD POINT. YOU BROUGHT UP MR CURL BROUGHT UP ABOUT THE BUFFER BETWEEN THE COMMERCIAL AND THE RESIDENTIAL. UM WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS THERE? AS FAR AS FAR AS AS YOU MOVE FORWARD WITH THE DEVELOPMENT HAVE OUR STORMWATER POND IS LOCATED TOWARDS THE SOUTH, AND IT WILL PROVIDE A BUFFER. WE DO HAVE OUR OTHER STORMWATER POND. WE HAVE £1 LOCATED TO THE SOUTH. AND THEN ANOTHER POND LOCATED TO THE WEST , SO WE ARE PROVIDING SOME BUFFER AREAS AND TYPICALLY, AS YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU DEVELOP IF YOU DEVELOP A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT UP ADJACENT TO A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE A BUFFER. AND SO BECAUSE OF HIS OWN, HE DOES REMAIN COMMERCIAL DOESN'T REQUIRE THAT WE ARE DOING NOT SINGLE FAMILY WERE DOING TOWN HOME. SO WE'RE DOING A HIRED YOU INTENDS TO USE. GIVEN THE LOCATION OF THE SURROUNDING LAND USES. SO WHAT WILL THE BUFFER BE BETWEEN THIS WHEN YOU WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS PICTURE OF THE BUFFER BETWEEN THE COMMERCIAL TO THE SOUTH AND YOUR DEVELOPMENT, WHAT WILL THAT BUFFER B? I BELIEVE IN SOME OF THE AREAS. THE POND IS LOCATED IN THERE, BUT THEN THERE IS NOW. POND IS NOT. IT'S THE RARE STEP BACK. THEY DON'T REALLY SIT BACK. HAS HAS STAFF. WE HAVE WE'VE HAD. FLOODING ISSUES ALONG THE HOLLY BLAINE FOR DECADES. IS THIS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO TRY TO CORRECT SOME OF THAT? LINCOLN OFF ONE OF THEIR STORM PONDS OR TO THAT. AT REGIONAL STORMWATER POND THAT SITS THERE TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THOSE FIGHTING AND THAT ISSUE YEAH, THERE'S PROPERTIES THAT BACK CORNER. ON HOLLY LANE. IT GOES UNDERWATER.I MEAN, COMPLETELY UNDERWATER, ONLY HAVE HEAVY RAIN OUT THERE. AND THOSE PEOPLE. CALLED ME EVERY TIME SO IS THERE ANY. TOPOGRAPHY WISE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT DIRECTION THAT WATER IS RUNNING, BUT CERTAINLY ON THAT SIDE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETAINEE PIN IT ON THERE. SO THAT MAY BE AN IMPROVEMENT IN THAT, YOU KNOW IF THAT WATER IS SHEDDING OFF THAT PROPERTY ONTO, OTHERS WILL HAVE TO DETAIN IT THERE. SOMETHING I DID DEVELOP MENTIONED. WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED THE DEVELOPMENT OR APPLICATION. FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT. IT'S UNDER REVIEW, SO THOSE THINGS. STORM WATER, AND THOSE SORTS OF THINGS ARE BEING ADDRESSED AND LOOKED AT.
UH CURRENTLY THAT'S THAT'S A HOTSPOT. I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S A PROBLEM. WELL THIS IS FLOOD PRINTING IN THIS WHOLE DRAINAGE BASIN. SO YOU PROBABLY HAVING A DESIGN TO THE 100 YEAR CRITICAL STORM IF I HAD TO GUESS. AND NOT THE TRADITIONAL 25. CAUSE IF YOU WERE TO DISCHARGE THE D O T.
IT'S GOT TO BE 100 EVERYTHING AROUND IT. I'M SURE IT'S COMING, 100. THEN YOU'RE ALSO DEALING WITH YOU'VE GOT A NUMBER A ZONE , RIGHT BLOOD ZONE, SO YOU'RE GONNA BE GOING THROUGH FEMA.
ASSUMED TO DO A CLUB MORE AND MORE PROCESS. WE HAVE NO CHOICE BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF UNITS ARE FIVE ACRES OR MORE THAT WE'RE HAVING TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS. CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT APPLICATION BEEN SUBMITTED. I DON'T. I THINK IT'S IN THE WORKS NOW BEING DONE. DEVELOPMENT ORDER WAS SUBMITTED ON THIS SITE TO THE COUNTY AND THE OTHER CORRESPONDENT. PERMITS HAVE BEEN SOME ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING AND HOW MANY UNITS ARE PROPOSED. 72. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THAT. ALL RIGHT.

OF COURSE. THE STAND. NOT NOW APPLICANT OR THE AFRICANS REPRESENTATIVE. HERE TO PRESENT THE CASE. GOOD MORNING AGAIN. I'M READY. GREER MY ADDRESS IS 29 10 CARRY FORCE PARKWAY TO THE FLORIDA MIAMI, THE AFRICANS REPRESENTATIVE. ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO START WITH BECAUSE OF THE D SET PROCESS AND THE WHOLE SECTOR PLANNING. I THINK SOME PEOPLE AGAIN GET CONFUSED AS WHEN YOU MENTIONED THE 2000 AND 15. A WANTON SECTOR PLAN WAS APPROVED. THIS PROPERTY IS PART OF THAT THEY WON'T SECTOR PLAN THAT SECTOR PLAN APPROVED THE ENTITLEMENTS FOR THIS PROPERTY AND 110,000 ACRES THAT CONSISTS OF 100 AND 45,000 UNITS. 4.5 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL RETAIL. IN 17,000, OR 17 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF INDUSTRIAL OFFICE AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING. THIS WHOLE INTO AN ENTIRE 210,000 ACRES. UM, THAT PROCESS OF DEVELOPING INSIDE OF THERE YOU HAVE TO DO WITH THE SOUND WHAT'S KNOWN AS THE DETAILED PACIFIC AREA PLAN. AND SO THIS IS OUR FOURTH ONE. THIS IS THE FOURTH ONE IN, BUT INSIDE BAY COUNTY, ONE HAS BEEN IMPROVED TO THE WEST OF THIS INSIDE WALTON COUNTY. SO WITH THIS DE SAL, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE IS WE HAVE BEEN COORDINATING WITH THE WILD HAIR VOTES. WE'VE HAD A MEETING AS WHEN AND MENTIONED WE DID THE WEST LEERED LAST MONTH. WEST LAKE IS LOCATED TO THE SOUTH AND TO THE EAST OF THIS PROPERTY IS CONNECTED. AND WE HELD IN THAT SURROUNDS WITH LIKE POWERS AROUND THE WILD HEARING. NEIGHBORHOOD. SO WHAT WE DID WE DID AN OPEN HOUSE WITH THEM SHOWED THEM BOTH SETS OF PLANS. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING AND WHOLE PART OF THE D SAP IS TO DEVELOP. A BUBBLE PLANT COME UP, DEVELOPED THE PARAMETERS OF THE AREA THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT PUTTING IN AND LOOKING AT LONG TERM DEVELOPING THROUGH DEVELOPMENT ORDERS DOWN THE ROAD, BUT COMING UP WITH THE OVERALL PARAMETERS THAT MOMENT SO THIS LIKE HOW DIESEL. WHAT IT DOES PROVIDES FOR 1500 HOMES, SO IT'LL BE 1500 RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAT WILL BE ALLOTTED TO THIS 2100 ACRES. IT WILL HAVE AN 18 HOLE GOLF COURSE. THAT WILL BE ALLOTTED TO IT. THEY WILL HAVE 125,000 SQUARE FEET OF NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL.AND WITH THAT WE WILL ALSO HAVE IN ADDITION UP ON THEIR COASTAL A MARINA AND IT WILL ALSO GET TO
[01:20:04]
PAINT SOME MORE COMMERCIAL OR RETAIL AREA WITH THE SHIP STORE. AND DOING THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT IS LOOKING AT. HOW DO WE PROVIDE CONNECTIONS THROUGH THIS AREA? LONG TERM? I'M IN THE 20. 41 NEEDS ANALYSIS FOR THE LONG TERM RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN BOTH CORRIDORS OF DIVIDED THROUGH THIS OR ROAD CORRIDORS CONNECTED FROM ONE CANDLE. TRAVELS FROM HIGHWAY IDEA. TRAVELS INTO THE LAKE POWELL IS OUT INTO THE WEST LEERED SAP AND CONTINUES AND TRAVELS TO THE EAST, WHERE IT INTERSECTS HIGHWAY 79 NEAR THE PHILLIP BRITT SR PARK.INTERSECTION. SO THAT ROADWAY IS THE SPINE ROAD IS THE SPINE ROAD THAT COMES THROUGH THE LIGHT ALTES HAPPEN WILL ALSO TRAVEL AND GO THROUGH THE WEST. LIBERTIES HAPPENED AS I MEANT IT WILL CONTINUE TO GO AS THESE PROJECTS ARE DEVELOPED OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS. DEVELOPMENT ORDERS. THAT ROAD WILL BE CONSTRUCTED THAT IS THE MAIN SPIED, WROTE. A MEETING WITH THE HOMEOWNERS OF WILD HAIR, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE LOOKED AT, IS PROVIDING CONNECTIONS INTO WILD HEARING AND CONNECTING GIVE THEM AN ABILITY TO CONNECT TO THAT SPINE ROAD, ALSO GIVEN THEM THE ABILITY TO CONNECT TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS, SORBET COMMERCIAL AREAS THAT WILL BE LOCATED IN THE LAKE POWELL DIESEL AND I KNOW THAT WE STARTED IN IT. I'VE HEARD THIS FROM BEFORE. BEFORE WE EVER STARTED THIS PROCESS WITH THE LOTS TO THE SOUTH, AS A GENTLEMAN EARLIER HAD SPOKE ABOUT WE HAVE SEEN THOSE EMAILS. THEY STARTED COMING IN YESTERDAY. AND A COUPLE PEOPLE HAVE REACHED OUT TO ST JOE. TALK ABOUT YOUR PROVIDING CONNECTIONS , AND THIS IS BEYOND WHILE HEARING THIS IS LOCATED FURTHER TO THE WEST, AND SOME LOTS OF THAT I'VE KNOWN I'VE BEEN FAMILIAR WITH THE LAST 20 YEARS OF THEIR SOMEWHAT LANDLOCKED LOCKS. THEY WERE NOT SOLD BY THE SAME JOKE. COMPANIES WERE NOT DEVELOPED BY THE SAME COMPANY. AND I KNOW ACCESS. IT'S COMING THROUGH. THERE'S THROUGH THAT POWER LINE AND I BELIEVE IS HOW THEY ACCESS IT TODAY. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THEY HAVE REACHED OUT THE SAINT JOHN. THEY'VE REACHED OUT TO ST JOE IN THE PAST TWO AND THE STATE YOUR COMPANY IS BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR WILL CONTINUE TO DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH THEM AND SEEING YOU KNOW, IS THERE WAYS THAT THEY CAN WORK TOGETHER? I MEAN, THE SAME JOKE AT ME. AS I MENTIONED. WE HAVE TRIED TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE AND EVERYBODY ELSE WHO WAS WITH THE WILD HEARING, FOLKS. I MEAN, WE'RE ALL ABOUT LOOKING LONG TERM HOW WE CAN BETTER NOT ONLY, YOU KNOW THE AREAS THAT WE WANT TO DEVELOP, BUT THE WHOLE COMMUNITY IS ITSELF SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO US TO LOOK AT THAT WAY. AND WITH THAT, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. YOU MIGHT HAVE QUESTIONS OF STAFF OR I'M SORRY.
NO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. STAY CLOSE. IF WE HAVE ANY ALL RIGHT . THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC? YOU'D LIKE TO COME IN? MR MCCANDLESS? THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY. IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME DOWN AND. STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, ALTHOUGH WE HAVEN'T EARLIER. THANK YOU, SIR. AH BILL MCCANDLESS ADDRESS 22,228 LAKESIDE DRIVE. PANAMA CITY BEACH, FLORIDA. OH AND I SPOKE EARLIER ABOUT ACCESS AND THE GENTLEMEN. I GUESS HE'S A LAWYER OR SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW. UH HE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. HE REFERRED TO ACCESS OF THE PARCELS. FORGIVE ME FOR POINTING JUST BEHIND YOU.
THOSE PARCELS THAT ARE IN THE LIGHT BLUE. THANKS. YES, SIR. RIGHT IN THERE. IF YOU WILL NOTICE. THEY ARE BOUND BY LATE POWELL TO THE SOUTH, WILD HERON TO THE EAST AND UNSEEN IN THAT BY YOU THAT IN LATE PILE THAT EXTENDS INTO THEM. MAY TAKE HAIR LONGER THAN THREE MINUTES. I DON'T KNOW. BUT AH THAT BY YOU, THERE IS A TRIBUTARY, A MAIN TRIBUTARY TO LAKE POWELL THAT GOES ALMOST STRAIGHT NORTH. THA. THAT ARE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THOSE 30 SOMETHING PARCELS.
ADDITIONALLY THE PARCEL TO THE SOUTH OF THEM OR HIM AND IN BY THE ST JOE ZONING REQUEST. THE EASIEST ACCESS WOULD BE NORTHWARD. NORTH OF PARCELS, 35166 AND 35167. OF CALLED CATHERINE MCCLOY, THE SAINT JOE PERSON WHO'S IN CHARGE OF PLAYING AND DEVELOPMENT. AND I BROUGHT THIS TO HER ATTENTION. RIGHT NOW WOULD BE THOUGHT PRIME TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. WE
[01:25:02]
PROPERTY OWNERS DOWN THERE DO NOT INTEND TO BE ADVERSARIAL. WE INTEND TO SUPPORT THE SAINT JOE PROJECT. IT SOUNDS GREAT. HOWEVER. WAIT WILL NEED PRACTICE FOR ACCESS. WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO COME BACK LATER ON AND RESORT TO, UH, CHAPTER 704.1. TO CLOSE PARENTHESES. ALL THOSE ACCESS LAWS ALL THAT JUNK. YES THIS SILLY IT WOULD BE FAR EASIER, JUST LIKE THIS GENTLEMAN SAID FOR PARTIES TO SIT DOWN AND WORK IT OUT AHEAD OF TIME. AND WE'RE NOW IS THE TIME. NOW IS THE TIME FOR THANK JOE. JUST SAY YES. YOU CAN HAVE PRACTICABLE ACCESS WHERE UTILITIES.EVERYTHING ELSE IS NECESSARY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THOSE PROPERTIES, WHICH WOULD BE A HUGE TAX BASE FOR BAIT COUNTY. TO COME UP. THANK YOU, SIR. FOR YOUR COMMENTS. WE APPRECIATE YOU TALKING ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU. IS THERE. ANYBODY ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TODAY REGARDING THIS ISSUE? FORGOT TO DO ONE THING. THAT'S ALRIGHT WE YOU'RE YOU'RE DULY NOTED MR MCCANDLESS. WE UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS AND WILL MAKE SURE THERE'S SOME CONVERSATIONS.
THANK YOU. THANK THERE. ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TODAY. ANYONE ELSE, ALL RIGHT, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC PORTION. COMMENTS AND MOVE ON TO STAFF. I'M SORRY TO THE COMMISSION. IS THERE ANYBODY COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION? GOOD. BASICALLY TURNED OVER.
ATTORNEYS TO COMMENT ON THE ACCESS POSITION IS COULD YOU TALK ABOUT CHAPTER 74 FOREST ACTIONS? SURE YEAH, MEMORIZED. YEAH. SO CHAPTER 74 CREATES WHAT'S CALLED THE STATUTORY WAVE NECESSITY, WHICH IS A PROVISION UNDER STATE LAW THAT REQUIRES PROPERTY OWNERS TO HAVE A SOME MEANS OF LEGAL ACCESS TO THEIR PROPERTY. SO. IF YOU ARE LANDLOCKED, YOU DON'T HAVE AN EASEMENT OR REPUBLIC ROAD TO GET TO YOUR PROPERTY. YOU HAVE A ABSOLUTE RIGHT UNDER STATE LAW TO FORCE OTHER LANDOWNERS AROUND YOU TO GIVE YOU A MEANS OF ACCESS TO YOUR PROPERTY. AND THERE'S A JUDICIAL PROCESS WHERE YOU CAN IDENTIFY. THAT. THAT MEANS BY WHICH YOU THINK IS THE BEST ROUTE TO GET TO YOUR PROPERTY, AND A JUDGE CAN SIGN OFF ON IT. AND THEN THERE'S A PROCESS FOR COMPENSATING THE LANDOWNERS. TO THAT WHOSE PROPERTY YOU'RE ACROSS. THIS THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY. I COULD TEACH A LAW SCHOOL CLASS ON THIS. THIS THIS GRIDDED AREA HERE THAT YOU SEE MM. THOSE WERE CREATED BY THE BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS A WAY INITIALLY TO PROVIDE HOMESITES FOR VETERANS RETURNING FROM WORLD WAR ONE AN. SOME OF THESE IN FLORIDA THERE'S SOME IN ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO. THE IDEA WAS TO PICK PLACES IN THE SOUTH, BECAUSE BACK THEN, AND STILL PEOPLE HAVE THIS VIEW THAT YOU COULD COME SOUTH TO FOR HEALTH REASONS. AND SO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CREATED THESE THESE THEY CALL SMALL TRACK TAX AND THERE'S ACTUALLY EASEMENTS CREATED UNDER UNDER THE PATENTS THAT WERE CREATED FROM PROGRAM. THERE'S EASEMENTS CREATED WITHIN THIS CRED. BUT WOULD BE MY QUESTION YOU COULD COME IN FROM THE NORTH OR SOUTH WITH THOSE INTERIOR LIVES. THERE'S GOT TO BE EASILY THERE ARE THERE'S EASEMENTS CREATED UNDER THE PATENTS? FOR THE INTERIOR. I GUESS THE ISSUE IS HOW TO HOW TO GET TO THOSE SMALL TRACKBACK PARCELS. READ BETWEEN THE LINES OF THESE EMAILS. I GET THE IMPRESSION THAT THE QUESTION IS WHETHER ACCESS IS THROUGH ST JOE OR THROUGH EBS CO. WHICH OWNS PART OF THIS PROPERTY. THOSE ARE THOSE ARE ISSUES THAT WILL GET WORKED OUT. BETWEEN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. AT THIS POINT, THERE'S NOTHING THAT YOU'RE DOING TODAY THAT AFFECTS US LAND USES, UM SAINT JOE AS A AS A. EXPERIENCED DEVELOPER KNOWS THAT IF THEY DON'T WORK OUT THOSE ISSUES BEFORE THEY LAY OUT THE ROADS.
THEY'RE AT RISK OF HAVING A JUDGE TELL THEM THAT THEY HAVE TO. CUT ACROSS SOME OF THEIR LOTS TO PROVIDE ACCESS. SO THOSE ARE ISSUES THAT THEY WILL THEY WILL. THEY WILL WORK OUT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER BEFORE. BEFORE THEY COMPLETE THEIR DEVELOPMENT PLANS. I'M SURE. THANK YOU, MR LIEBERT FOR THAT LAW SCHOOL LESSON. ANYBODY ELSE UP? HERE HAVE ANY COMMENTS. NOR DO I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE IN SAINT JOE IS A GREAT NEIGHBOR, GREAT GREAT COMPANY AND DOES AMAZING
[01:30:03]
THINGS FOR BAY COUNTY IN THE AREA, AND SO I HAVE FULL FAITH THAT THEY'D BE WILLING TO SIT DOWN WITH MR MCCANDLESS AND MAYBE SOME OF HIS NEIGHBORS TO FIGURE OUT QUICK AND EASY SOLUTION, ESPECIALLY SINCE ITS IN ITS RAW STATE. RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT FRIEND SAID. WE'RE NOT HOPEFULLY, IT WON'T BECOME JUDICIOUS. IT CAN BE A AMICABLE AGREEMENTS, SO WITH THAT BEING SEVERAL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND MOTION IS SECOND. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HE CALLED THE ROLE PLAY. COMMISSIONER DOES YES, COMMISSIONER MORE? YES, MA'AM.ACTING CHAIRMAN GRIFFIN. YES, MA'AM. WHAT'S GOING ON PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. THIS IS OPENING

MY NAME IS CAPTAIN GARY WAYNE. BACK OUT OF IT, 26 OH, ONE BEACH STREET. HOW AMUSING. YOU'LL HAVE TO START THE TIME BECAUSE EVERY SECOND OF THE TRUTH AFFECTS YOU PEOPLE. IT'S STILL JUST AS IMPORTANT AS IT WAS IN 2010 THE FACT THAT YOU'RE VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS THE FACT THAT YOU ARE CARRYING OUT CAPITAL FELONIES AGAINST THE PEOPLE WITH STRONG ARMED ROBBERY. AND THE FACT THAT I'M STILL STANDING HERE WITH ONGOING FEDERAL INVESTIGATIONS AND THE CONDITIONS THAT YOU HAVE PROJECT YOURSELVES AND PUT ME UNDER I'M HAVING TO USE THE OLD FASHIONED TECHNOLOGY CALLED CASSETTE TAPE.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW THEY'VE ACCESSED MY FACEBOOK. Y'ALL GUYS GO CHECK PUBLIC RECORDS. YOU'LL FIND ME SAYING THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE PRETENDING TO BE ME. THEY MADE ME A VIDEO GAME, YOU KNOW, BUT LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET DOWN TO THE SERIOUS PART OF IT. YOU KNOW IF I WAS BEING A CAR WITH SOMEBODY ROBBED THE BANK AND I WAS SITTING THERE AND I KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO ROB A BANK. I WOULD GO TO JAIL FOR IT. AND ALL YOU PEOPLE UP THERE THAT I DON'T KNOW THIS SET SO ODDLY BY AND LET ME CARRY ON THE CONVERSATION . YOU'LL HAVE TWO PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. BECAUSE I'M LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES AND Y'ALL GUYS GET TWO WEEKS TO COVER ME FOR ALL THE LIVES AND YOUR MEDIA. BUT DURING THE PROCESS, YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO KEEP FOCUSED ON THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS , WHICH IS WHAT OUR FOREFATHERS GAVE US. AND YOU PEOPLE HAVE SET HERE AND HE BROUGHT HOW MANY LAWYERS AGAINST ME NOW. AND NOW I'VE GOT TO GO IN FRONT OF A QUASI JUDICIAL SYSTEM WHERE THEY CUT THEIR WAY ON MY PROPERTY. TOOK PICTURES INSIDE MY BEDROOM ARE NOT MY KITCHEN WENT AT THE PROCESS. THEY'VE STOLEN MY DOG. AND EVERYBODY TURNS A BLIND OUT TO ALL THE STUFF THAT I'M SAYING YOU WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. IF ANYTHING HELPED HAPPENS TO MY DOG THAT'S BEEN MADE PERFECTLY CLEAR, BUT DURING THE MEANTIME, LET'S GET BACK TO THE ISSUES OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON WITH THIS COMMUNITY AND WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING TO ME NOW I'M FACED WITH ANOTHER TWO INCHES OF PAPER THAT NOBODY WOULD READ FOR ME. NOBODY WILL HELP ME READ AND THEN YOU KNOW THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS. NOBODY WILL HELP ME ON THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS. AND THEN WHEN I FINALLY DO GET ANYTHING, YOU KNOW I CAN'T GET LEGAL ASSISTANCE CAN'T GET NOTHING.
AND IF I DO GET SOMEBODY BRAVE ENOUGH TO READ THE PAPERS FOR ME , THEY CAN'T READ THEM BECAUSE IT GETS TO A POINT WHERE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, BECAUSE IT HAS TO DO WITH LAWYER STUFF. WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO CARRY OUT THE CRIMINAL ACTS ONLY AGAINST ME, BUT AGAINST THE PEOPLE AND LET'S DON'T FORGET THE QUASI JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS WHAT GOT ME HERE. YOU KNOW HOW YOU STOLE EVERYTHING I HAD WITH BEARING FALSE WITNESS AGAINST ME AND LET'S DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE CORRUPT JUDGES. YOU KNOW, THE CORRUPT JUDGES WON'T HEAR WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AND PUT ME IN A COURTROOM AND I WAS THERE WITH HOMOSEXUALITY. HOMOSEXUALS HAVE BEEN MOLESTED CHILDREN AND THEN TELL ME TO GO TO COME ON MY PROPERTY AND TAKE IT. YOU KNOW, I HAD TO CALL STATE TROOPERS IN TENNESSEE, ALABAMA, MISSISSIPPI AND ALL THOSE OTHER PLACES SAYING THESE PEDOPHILES SET FOOT ON MY PROPERTY. I'M GONNA PUT A BULLET IN HIM AND I DON'T LIKE TO BE IN THAT AND THEN PEOPLE TRYING TO KILL ME. YOU KNOW, I LIVE IN CONSTANT THREAT. NOW IN MY COMMUNITY, LEAVE MY HOUSE.

IF ANYTHING APPLY FOR A NEW CRM. C R A AND INCLUDE THAT AREA. BECAUSE IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN A FANCY WAY TO EXTRACT MONEY FROM THE BAY COUNTY BUDGET. TO THEIR BENEFIT. I'M AGAINST THAT. WHERE JUST NOW SEEING THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL WITH HURRICANE MICHAEL. JUST NOW, AND IT'S BEEN WHAT THREE YEARS? AND ALSO TO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PROJECTS THAT NEED TO BE DONE HERE. BRIDGES TO ME REBUILT ROADS TO BE REPAID.WENT OUT A DOZEN DIFFERENT WAYS WE CAN SPEND THAT MONEY. AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT TO HAVE SOME TAIL TAX. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE MAIN BUDGET MONEY. NO NOT NO.

WE'RE IN. WE HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE WE HAVE A NEED FOR IT. WE THINK THAT WILL COVER INCREASES AND IMPACTS COST OF THINGS LIKE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE , THE COURT SYSTEM, THE OTHER CONSTITUTIONAL HAVING SAID THAT? I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE SIERRA LAW AT THE TIME THAT WAS IN PLACE WHEN THESE WERE CREATED WITH SO POORLY WRITTEN THAT THESE MUNICIPALITIES HAVE SUCH AN UPPER HAND THAT THIS IS REALLY THE ONLY TOOL IN OUR TOOL BAG IS TO IS TO NEGOTIATE LIKE THIS. AND SO I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO POTENTIALLY ENTER INTO ONE OF THOSE AGREEMENTS. NO, SIR. THANK YOU. LET'S SEE.
