WHEN I FIRST GOT ELECTED, WE VOTED TO, THROUGH A GRANT TO BE ABLE TO PAVE KNEE HIGH ROAD ALL THE WAY TO STAR AVENUE.

[00:40:05]

COMMISSIONER PEASE. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER DOZIER. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER MOORE. YES, MA'AM.

[Community Development]

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO REACH THAT HEIGHT. I DON'T HAVE THE MAXIMUM CALCULATIONS, BUT IT BECAUSE YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE A MUCH LARGER PIECE OF PROPERTY TO REACH THAT HEIGHT WITH THE FLOOR AREA RATIO REQUIREMENT. OKAY. WITH THE REQUEST TO C3, DO WE KNOW WHAT THE APPLICANT IS WANTING TO CONSTRUCT THERE? IT'S NOT NOTED IN THE APPLICATION. HOWEVER, DURING THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING IT DID. IT WAS REVEALED THAT, THE PROPERTY OWNER IS LOOKING AT IT FOR A, AN OLD CHAIN SERVICE. ALL RIGHT. AND I GUESS OIL CHANGE IS GOING TO BE INSIDE OF C3. IT'S NOT IN C2, WHICH IS CURRENTLY ZONED. THAT'S CORRECT. JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? NO. OKAY ALL RIGHT. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. SO ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? YES, SIR. NOW'S YOUR CHANCE. NOW'S MY CHANCE. YES. OKAY. CHRIS KREIDER, 524 SEABREEZE DRIVE, PANAMA CITY BEACH, FLORIDA. OKAY, MY REBUTTAL WOULD BE THAT THE CURRENT ZONING C2 IS CONSISTS WITH EVERY OTHER LOT OF ITS SIZE IN THE AREA. THERE ARE NO C3 THAT SIZE BECAUSE IT'S ONLY THOSE LOTS ARE ONLY 50FT DEEP WITH A 25 FOOT SETBACK AND A 50 FOOT LOT EVEN THOUGH TECHNICALLY YOU COULD HAVE A GAS STATION AND A C2 ZONING, IT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. SO C2,

[00:45:06]

ALL RIGHT. YES, SIR. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? NOPE. OKAY. SEEING NONE, WE'LL CLOSE THE FLOOR AND, GO BACK TO THE BOARD. TOUCH ON THE STORMWATER. ALL THE STORMWATER DOES HAVE TO BE LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY THAT'S BEING DEVELOPED. AM I CORRECT ON THAT? THAT'S CORRECT, WHATEVER IS ULTIMATELY APPROVED BY AS A USE ON THIS PROPERTY, WHETHER THE ZONING IS CHANGED TODAY OR NOT WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH A DEVELOPMENT ORDER REVIEW, THE STORMWATER SYSTEM WOULD HAVE TO BE ALL THERE HAVE TO BE RETAINED ON SITE. CORRECT. WAS THERE A TRAFFIC STUDY NECESSARY FOR THIS, NO, NOT NOT FOR A ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION. YOU HAD MENTIONED THE FACT THAT OIL CHANGE UNIT. WOULD AN OIL CHANGE UNIT FIT IN C2? NO, NO, IT WOULD NOT BE AN ALLOWABLE USE IN THE C2 ZONING. SO TO GET AN OIL CHANGE UNIT, A BUSINESS, I SHOULD SAY. CORRECT. IT MUST BE MINIMUM. WHAT C3 C3, C3 A THAT'S CORRECT. AND WHAT IS THE DEPTH OF THE PARTIAL TOTAL, I COULD JUST ONE SECOND.

WHATEVER HAPPENS AS FAST AS YOU WANT, IT DOES IT

[00:50:20]

OKAY ANY ANY OTHER. WHAT'S THE SETBACK ON THE FRONT? REAR SETBACKS? YEAH. SO THE SETBACK ON THE REAR WITH THE BUFFER REQUIREMENT WOULD BE 25FT. FRONT ON THE FRONT IS ALSO 25FT. SO I'M TAKING 50 AWAY. DOING SO. YOU HAVE A 50 FOOT TO WORK WITH. THEN I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS ADDITIONAL, LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND FENCING ALREADY PLANNED. CORRECT. WELL, I THINK AS A RESULT OF SOME OF THAT PUBLIC COMMENT, THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAD RECOMMENDED THAT THEY BE REQUIRED AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL TO PROVIDE BOTH THE 25 FOOT VEGETABLE OF BUFFER REQUIREMENT AND ALSO PROVIDE A PRIVACY FENCE, PRIVACY FENCE ALONG THAT REAR PROPERTY LINE.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE ABUTS RESIDENTIAL, CORRECT, TO ME, BEST OF MY MEMORY, THOUGH, THAT THE 25 FOOT REAR, THE STORMWATER CAN BE IN THAT WELL IF THEY'RE REQUIRED TO IF THE CONDITION STANDS AND THEY'RE IF IT'S APPROVED AND THE CONDITION STANDS IF THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE THE VEGETATIVE BUFFER THERE, THEN THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PLACE THEIR STORMWATER THERE BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THAT VEGETATIVE BUFFER. WHAT ABOUT IN REGARD TO EXPANSION OF BACK BEACH? I MEAN, I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO SIX LANES RIGHT NOW ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE OF 79, BUT I MEAN ARE HAS THE STATE STARTED DONE RIGHT AWAY ACQUISITION OR ANYTHING ALONG THIS LINE OR HAVE WE HAD ANY OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS YET? PLANNING AND ZONING HAS NOT HAD ANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT ACQUISITION. I DON'T KNOW THAT IF THE STATE'S HAD ANY CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS. THE STATE IS MOVING TOWARDS A NEED TO DO THE SIX LANING FOR THIS SECTION OF THE ROADWAY, BUT THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE AT CURRENTLY, THE PDA PHASE OF IT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. IS IT'S YOU'VE ALREADY HAD YOUR THREE MINUTES, IS THE APPLICANT HERE THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE? YES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK? OKAY. IF YOU WOULD HAVE, WE WOULD NEED TO GET YOU SWORN TO BE SWORN IN. IF YOU WANT TO COME ON DOWN, PLEASE.

AND, COUNTY ATTORNEY WILL SWEAR YOU IN. HE'S GOING TO SWEAR. I SWEAR IT.

OKAY. YEAH. DONNA STOKES, I'M THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE OWNER , 3617 OAKBROOK LANE IS MY ADDRESS. PANAMA CITY BEACH, FLORIDA. OKAY, THE PRESENT ZONING AT C THREE, C TWO. WE DID HAVE A DEVELOPMENT ORDER IN PLACE PRIOR FOR A SUBWAY, RESTAURANT, WHICH WOULD CREATE MORE TRAFFIC THAN THE PROPOSED OIL CHANGE, THE OIL CHANGE, PROPERTY OR THE BUSINESS WOULD BE OPEN SIX DAYS A WEEK, EIGHT TO ROUGHLY 5 OR 6, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND 8 TO 3 ON SATURDAY. THIS, I FEEL, WOULD CREATE LESS TRAFFIC THAN, IF YOU COULD PUT A RESTAURANT OR EVEN A CONVENIENCE STORE AT THE, C TWO ZONING PRESENTLY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? THE ONLY THING I WAS ASKING WANTED TO KNOW WAS THE CONDITION THAT THE PLANNING BOARD PUT ABOUT THE BUFFER WITH THE VEGETATED BUFFER, EXCLUDING STORMWATER.

WILL THAT MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU? YEAH THEY THE WAY THE WAY THE PLANNING COMMISSION PROPOSED THE LAST MEETING. YES. YEAH. YOU CAN LIVE WITH THAT. YES OKAY. ALL RIGHT. BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE CAN

[00:55:05]

IT WOULD BE FOR AN OIL CHANGE UNIT. AND, SO WOULD YOU BE IN OPPOSITION IF WE TIE THAT TO THE CONDITION OF THE PERMIT THAT THERE'LL BE, SO WE'RE NOT JUST BLANKETLY, CHANGES THE ZONING AND THEN LATER ON ADD ON TO BE FINE. OKAY. BUT. YEAH. IF YOU WANT TO COME UP. YEAH. IF YOU IF YOU GET YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD TOO, PLEASE, SIR. YES. WE GOT TO GET YOU TO SWEAR YOU IN. ALL RIGHT? SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY ABOUT TO GIVE WILL BE THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH I DO. OKAY. MATT GRIFFITHS, 1102 COVE POINT DRIVE, REPRESENT THE POTENTIAL BUYER, THE ONLY ISSUE WITH TYING THAT TO IT IS THINGS CHANGE. THE MARKET CHANGES. HE'S NOT IN THE IN THE BUSINESS OF SPENDING A HALF MILLION DOLLARS AND THEN SOMETHING CHANGES AND HE'S STUCK. THAT'S NOT GOOD BUSINESS. SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT I MIGHT BE. AND AS FAR AS THE STORMWATER GOES IF THAT IS AN OPTION AS YOU SEE IT IS IT'S A SMALL PROPERTY. HE'S LUCKILLY ABLE TO CHANGE KIND OF WHAT HE DOES. TYPICALLY TO MAKE IT WORK, Y'ALL HAVE SEEN THE MONEY THAT HE'S INVESTED IN BAY COUNTY. THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL. HE DOES IT.

HE'S DONE A GREAT JOB WITH THEM, AND IT'S GOING TO BE A NICE FACILITY. IT'S GOING TO BE VERY LOW IMPACT. IT'S THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS GOING TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE ZERO ISSUES. SO OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING BECAUSE I'M, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, WE CAN WE CAN LET THE STORMWATER BE IN THAT 25 FOOT. I THINK THAT WOULD CERTAINLY BE HELPFUL. OKAY. OTHERWISE IT'S I ASSUME GOING TO HAVE TO BE OUT FRONT, WHICH WAS PROBABLY LESS IDEAL THAN WE HAVE. STAFF CLARIFY THAT BECAUSE I HEARD. YEAH. WAS THAT THAT'S NOT AN OPTION. SO I DON'T WANT ANYBODY LEAVING HERE THINKING, OKAY, THAT IS AN OPTION OKAY. BECAUSE I HEARD THAT WAS JUST THE WAY THAT THEY APPROVED IT. YEAH I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS CLEAR OKAY. YEAH. GOOD POINT.

LET'S MAKE SURE. SO THE WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THEY RECOMMENDED THAT THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL BE THAT THEY BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THE VEGETATIVE 25 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND ALSO PROVIDE THE SIX FOOT FENCE WITHOUT THOSE CONDITIONS, IT'S YOU HAVE AN OPTION, YOU CAN PROVIDE THE FENCE OR DO THE, THE LANDSCAPING. IF YOU IF YOU'RE NOT REQUIRED TO DO THE VEGETATIVE LANDSCAPING OR YOU USE A FENCE OPTION IN LIEU OF THAT LANDSCAPING, YOU CAN THE ONLY THE ONLY PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU COULD PUT IN THE BUFFER AREA IS THE STORMWATER POND. HOWEVER, WITH THE CONDITION PLACED ON IT BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. IF THAT WERE ULTIMATELY APPROVED, THE STORMWATER POND OPTION WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GO INTO THE BUFFER AREA BECAUSE THAT HAS TO BE VEGETATIVE BUFFER. OKAY, SO I GUESS KIM. SO I GUESS MY NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE THE BOARD CAN MODIFY THAT. CORRECT. THANK YOU. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO THAT THE VEGETATIVE BUFFER AND THE STORMWATER POND CAN BE ALL DONE AT THE SAME SPOT. IT'S WHAT I'M THINKING. I MEAN, YOU CAN YOU CAN PUT VEGETATION AROUND A STORMWATER POND. NOT IN IT. I MEAN, YOU GOT TO HAVE THE PERCOLATION, BUT I'M NOT AN ENGINEER. HOWEVER DURING DEVELOPMENT REVIEWS, OUR ENGINEERING REVIEW TEAM, THEY DO NOT WANT ANY VEGETATION IN A POND. IT AFFECTS HOW IT'S DESIGNED, SO WE TYPICALLY, DO NOT ALLOW ANY, ANY, YOU KNOW, ADDITIONAL VEGETATION TO BE PLANTED IN THE POND. YOU COULD YOU COULD PLAN IT AROUND IT. BUT AGAIN, IF YOU CAN'T MEET, IF YOU CAN'T PLANT THE 25 FOOT WIDE STRIP, THEN YOU HAVE TO GO WITH THE FENCE OPTION. OKAY, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. GOTCHA OKAY. I THINK THE PLANNING BOARD WAS TRULY TRYING TO KEEP THE NOISE DOWN FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD BY THE FENCING AND THE BUFFER, SO I WOULD I THINK I'D RATHER SEE US STICK WITH, STICK WITH THOSE TWO. ALL RIGHT, SO I GUESS BACK YOU'D LIKE TO

[01:00:01]

ONE POINT OF CLARIFICATION. OKAY. FOR THE APPLICANT, YET, YOU KNOW, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT MAKING IT A CONDITION OF THE PERMIT, AND, TYING TYING IT THAT IT'LL BE A USED AS AS REQUESTED FOR AN OIL CHANGING UNIT. AND SO, YOU SAID YOU WOULD RATHER NOT SEE THAT BECAUSE OF SOME THINGS CHANGE. IS THAT WHAT YOU WERE SAYING? WELL, I CAN TELL YOU HE'S. THIS IS WHAT HE DOES.

THIS IS HIS BUSINESS. HIS INTENT IS TO BUILD AN OIL CHANGE LOCATION. THERE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, AS IS VERY POSSIBLE. I MEAN, YOU DON'T KNOW. AND THEN HE SITS ON A HALF MILLION DOLLAR PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH. HE CAN'T SELL IT. HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING IF YOU TIE THAT. I MEAN, OTHER THAN TO ANOTHER OIL CHANGE FACILITY, WHICH WOULDN'T BE LOCAL AND PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE THE SAME RESPECT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THE LOCAL COMPANY IS GOING TO. SO NO, I DON'T THINK THAT'D BE A GOOD IDEA. OKAY. YEAH. TO THAT IN JUST TO RUN DOWN WHAT, BILL WAS ASKING ABOUT. IS THERE A OIL CHANGE OR THE C2 USES? I MEAN, BECAUSE IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED C2, AND FROM LISTENING TO WHAT THE CITIZENS ARE SAYING, THEY'RE OKAY IF IT'S C2. SO IF IT'S PAST, IT'S C3, IS IT LIMITED TO IN C3 USES THIS OR ANY C2 USES THAT GO TO TRY TO BRIDGE A GAP IF AT ALL POSSIBLE ALONG THOSE LINES. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT MIGHT NOT MAKE YOU HAPPY AT ALL. AND I GET THAT. BUT TRYING TO BALANCE THAT, I'VE WRITTEN SOME NOTES, AND I WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT IN A LITTLE BIT, BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT NOW IS ONE THING THAT WAS BROUGHT UP WAS ACCESS MANAGEMENT. THIS GOES TO SOMETHING, KEITH, I'VE HAD KEITH TAKE ME TO CHIPLEY QUITE A FEW TIMES TO TALK TO FDOT ABOUT ACCESS MANAGEMENT, TO LEARN ABOUT IT. OUR COMMUNITY IS GROWING AND WE CANNOT LIKE WHAT WE'VE GOT, BUT WE'VE BEEN FOUND. WE WERE GROWING ON AVERAGE BY ABOUT 3% A YEAR, BY THE NEXT CENSUS, THE CONSERVATIVE NUMBERS I HEAR WHERE OUR COMMUNITY IS GOING TO BE, 215,000 PEOPLE ON THE UPPER SIDE. AND THE MORE REALISTIC SIDE, WE'RE GOING TO BE 240,000 PEOPLE. IT'S COMING AND IT'S IN. IT'S INCUMBENT ON US. IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY. AND REPRESENTING BOTH SIDES OF THIS RIGHT NOW. THOSE THAT DON'T AND THOSE THAT DO TO TRY TO LOOK AT THIS FROM BOTH A GROWTH PERSPECTIVE AS WELL AS AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I'VE GOT IN MY MIND IS THEY'RE DOING THE PD AND E, ARE WE GOING TO DO AN EMINENT DOMAIN? ARE WE GOING TO BE DOING SOMETHING IN THE BIGGER TERM.

AND I'M NOT SPEAKING AGAINST IT, GUYS. I'M THESE ARE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES WHENEVER ANY OF THESE THINGS ARE COMING. WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT AND WHAT ARE WE DOING? Y'ALL MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY SEE THE ONE ON ONES OR THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE WITH STAFF BEHIND THE BACKGROUND BEFORE WE HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS UP HERE, BUT EACH ONE OF US ARE HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF TRYING TO FIGURE THESE THINGS OUT, TRYING TO LOOK AT THESE THINGS, AND MAYBE WE DON'T TALK ABOUT IT IN FRONT OF Y'ALL AS MUCH AS WE PROBABLY SHOULD. BUT IN LOOKING AT THIS AND LOOKING AT THE LONGER VIEW, WHAT ARE THE THINGS WE NEED TO. MR. CRIDER, TO YOUR COMMENT, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE OIL CHANGE PLACES. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M LOOKING AT AND A QUESTION I ASK MYSELF IS I LOOK AT THIS AND I SEE THIS IS WHAT'S THE DISTANCE OF THAT? AND IS THERE IS THERE A BENEFIT FOR THE OVERALL COMMUNITY TO MAKE THERE BE A LITTLE BIT MORE SO THERE'LL BE FEWER PEOPLE ON THE STREET. AND SO THAT'S A QUESTION THAT'S GOING ON INSIDE OF MY MIND IS WHAT IS THE WAY THAT WE CAN KEEP TRAFFIC OFF OF THAT ROAD AND BEING ABLE TO MOVE THINGS IN THAT REGARD. ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS TO LOOK AT IN THIS AGAIN, IS ACCESS MANAGEMENT. EVERYBODY COMPLAINS ABOUT THE TRAFFIC. YOU DRIVE THROUGH LYNNHAVEN, EVERYBODY COMPLAINS ABOUT THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO CUT THROUGH A ROAD AT NIGHT, AT A RED LIGHT, AND PEOPLE SHOOTING ACROSS IN FRONT OF YOU ON BACK BEACH ROAD. YOU HAVE THESE SAME QUESTIONS ON FRONT BEACH ROAD.

YOU HAVE THESE SAME STATEMENTS, BUT Y'ALL DON'T LIKE THE ALTERNATIVE, WHICH IS ACCESS MANAGEMENT, WHICH IS TO WHAT YOU SAID. THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY IN AND OUT. ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE

[01:05:01]

MOST OF Y'ALL PROBABLY DON'T REALIZE THAT THE BUDGET MONEY ISN'T THERE IS SCHEDULED TO BE SLATED AVAILABLE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF SIX LANES IN 2032. THAT'S EIGHT YEARS FROM NOW. AND SO A LOT OF THIS PLANNING STUFF WE DO IS OUT THERE. AND I SAY ALL THAT TO SAY, THIS IS PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT WE MIGHT NOT ALWAYS VOTE THE WAY YOU WANT, BUT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS WE'RE TRYING TO BALANCE THE NEAR AND THE DISTANCE AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THOSE THINGS ARE. AND WE ALSO LIVE IN A COMMUNITY THAT WE DON'T LIKE, PEOPLE TELLING US WHAT WE CAN DO WITH OUR PROPERTY. WE ARE A VERY HUGE PROPERTY RIGHTS. AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, THAT'S ANOTHER BALANCE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO AND TO FIGURE OUT IS IF SOMETHING IS ZONED OR SOMETHING CAN BE DONE AND IF SOMETHING IS ZONED MORE INTENSELY, IT'S IN.

WE NEED TO BE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE CITIZENS AROUND AND INCORPORATING ALL OF THOSE THINGS INTO IT AS WELL. BUT TO THAT END, I JUST IT KIND OF PRESENTED ITSELF. AND SO I JUST FELT THE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SHARE KIND OF THE BIGGER PICTURE OF THINGS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE I BELIEVE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE ADDRESS AS WE GO FORWARD WITH APPROVALS OF ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO BE IMPACTING THE COMMUNITY, BOTH NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

OKAY ANYBODY, ANY OTHER TERM'S QUESTIONS OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, I GUESS WE'LL CLOSE THE FLOOR AND WE'LL GO TO THE TO THE BOARD . DO WE GET A MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED FROM THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT OR PLANNING AND PLANNING ZONING BOARD? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE, AS THE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF THE PLANNING BOARD. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION. I'LL SECOND. I HAVE A SECOND. YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. MA'AM COMMISSIONER DOZIER. YES, MA'AM.

COMMISSIONER PEASE. YES, MA'AM. COMMISSIONER MOORE. YES, MA'AM. CHAIRMAN HAMM. YES, MA'AM. ALL RIGHT, NEXT, WE'LL GO INTO NUMBER 19, PLP, UD 2024 0061 BRIDGEWATER WAY. PUD BRIDGEWATER WAY. ALL RIGHT, MR. PORTER, OR IS THIS. NO NO. YES IT IS. YOU OKAY. IT IS QUASI JUDICIAL. ALL RIGHT. AND THIS IS ANOTHER QUASI JUDICIAL. SO IF THERE'S ANYBODY HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM, PLEASE STAND AND BE SWORN IN, SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE EVIDENCE YOU'RE ABOUT TO GIVE WOULD BE THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH. AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP YOU GOD. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY EX-PARTE, I HAVE NONE. I HAVE NONE EITHER. I'VE SEEN THE PROPERTY. I'VE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL OF THE SEVERAL OF THE RESIDENTS OUT THERE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROPERTY, SPOKEN WITH APPLICANT'S REP. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MR. PORTER. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

THIS IS A PROPOSED PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT CONSISTING OF A 77 LOT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION, THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS LOCATED ON BOTH THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE OF BRIDGEWATER WAY, THE PROPOSAL MEETS THE AREA AND DENSITY REQUIREMENTS REQUIRED BY THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. THE PROPOSED PUD REQUESTS A 50 FOOT LOT FRONTAGES AS WELL AS DEVIATIONS FROM THE REQUIRED R5 ZONING, BUILDING SETBACKS, A PUD AND SUBSEQUENT DEVELOPMENT ORDER WERE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED IN 2021. THAT PERMITTED A MIX OF 107 SINGLE FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY LOTS, THE PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENT ORDER AND PUD HAS EXPIRED, AND THIS APPLICATION REMOVES THE MULTIFAMILY COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT AND REDUCES THE TOTAL DENSITY

[01:10:04]

UNITS. YEAH HEIGHT 45FT. STANDARD. OTHER. OTHER REQUESTS FROM THE PUD. I WANTED TO WELL, I HAVE A REQUEST, BUT I'LL LET LET'S WORK THROUGH IT, AND THEN I'LL BRING IT UP A LITTLE BIT LATER. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR CONCERNS FOR STAFF? OKAY. APPLICANT APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE. GOOD MORNING. I'M RAY GREER. MY ADDRESS IS 2910 KERRY FOREST PARKWAY, TENNESSEE FLORIDA. AND I AM THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE. AND WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS A 77 SINGLE FAMILY LOT SUBDIVISION. AS WAYNE HAD MENTIONED, 2021. WE HAD A PUD IN FRONT OF YOU THAT WAS APPROVED FOR 107 LOTS, AND WHAT IT CONSISTED OF WAS 39 SINGLE FAMILY AND 68 MULTI-FAMILY UNITS. AND WHAT WE'VE DONE SINCE THEN IS GONE BACK AND REDESIGNED THE OVERALL SITE BACK DOWN TO 77 LOTS. SO WE'VE REDUCED IT BY 30 ACTUAL UNITS ITSELF. WE'RE STILL PROPOSING SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD. STREET LIGHTS ON BRIDGEWATER WAY, WHICH DOES NOT EXIST TODAY, AND ALSO CONNECTING AND HAVING OUR RECREATIONAL AMENITY, WHICH IS THE BOAT RAMP THAT EXISTS ON THE PROPERTY AND THAT WILL BE FOR THE HOMEOWNERS. IT'LL BE A BOAT RAMP. WE ARE GOING TO REDO THE SEAWALL AND REDO THE BOAT RAMP AT THE SAME TIME. WE HAVE SUBMITTED A DEVELOPMENT ORDER APPLICATION FOR THE 77 LOTS THAT DOES INCLUDE THE RECREATIONAL AMENITY AREA TOO, SO THAT WILL BE PART OF IT. I KNOW TRAFFIC, AND I'VE DONE MANY REZONINGS AND LAND USE CHANGES IN THIS AREA. AS YOU KNOW WHAT I'M HERE FOR TODAY IS USUALLY NOT WHAT MOST PEOPLE ARE HERE FOR. WE HAVE OVER ZONING FOR US. WE HAVE MORE THAN WE CAN USE. WE HAVE OUR FIVE. OUR FIVE IS THE HIGHEST RESIDENTIAL CATEGORY YOU HAVE TODAY. WE COULD BUILD 330 APARTMENTS ON THIS SITE, NOT COME BACK TO YOU. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT. BUT WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS ACTUALLY THE R-2 ZONING SETBACKS. AND THAT IS BECAUSE WE ARE DOING SINGLE FAMILY. AND WITH THE R5, THE R5 HAS THE BIGGER LOT SIZES BECAUSE THEY ARE INTENDED FOR APARTMENT COMPLEXES AND BIGGER UNITS. SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS JUST INSTEAD OF TRYING TO REZONE THE SITE IS JUST GO BACK AND REDO THE PUD AND ADJUST THE PUD TO FIT FOR WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR. SO THERE IS NO OTHER DEVIATIONS OTHER THAN OUR SETBACKS. AND BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS THE R2 ZONING SETBACKS. AND THEN IN ADDITION TO IT, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE THE SIDEWALKS AND THE STREET LIGHTS AND, YOU KNOW, OUR RECREATIONAL AMENITY AREA NOW ON TRAFFIC OVERALL WITH THE PREVIOUS APPROVED PUD, WITH THE 107 UNITS, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD HAVE GENERATED 857 AVERAGE ANNUAL WEEKDAY TRIPS. AND SO WHEN YOU TAKE THE UNITS BACK DOWN AND ACCOUNT FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY AND REMOVE THE DUPLEX, THE MULTIFAMILY PART OF IT, WHAT IT DOES, IT REDUCES IT 131 TRIPS. SO IT BRINGS IT DOWN TO 726. SO IT IS A NOT ONLY A LESS UNITS, IT IS A TRAFFIC REDUCTION THAT WILL OCCUR HERE ALSO, AND AS FAR AS COMPATIBILITY, SINGLE FAMILY IS COMPLETELY COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA OF THIS OF THE WILDWOOD AND THE ENTIRE, YOU KNOW, AREA OF DOWN HERE WHERE WE'RE AT IN THE SOUTH PART OF WILDWOOD. I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE YES, SIR, WHAT'S BEEN BROUGHT TO ME FROM SOME OF THE RESIDENCES THAT, THE CONCERN IS. AND YOU TOUCHED ON THIS A LITTLE BIT, THE EROSION OF THE SEAWALL, HOW IT'S HOW IT'S AFFECTING THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS IN THAT AREA. AND SO AND I KNOW YOU SAID THAT THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED, AND SO AND THE BOAT RAMP AS WELL, THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER,

[01:15:01]

SO YOU GUYS THAT STOOD UP. YES. WE'LL GET YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. PLEASE, SIR.

CARLTON SCHWARTZ, 1016 HARVARD BOULEVARD IN LYNN HAVEN, I, I, THE REASON I HAVE INTEREST IN THIS IN THIS PROJECT IS BECAUSE I OWN THE 11 ACRES, IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO IT. THE LITTLE TRIANGULAR. YEAH, THAT THAT AREA RIGHT THERE. AND I CURRENTLY HAVE A DEVELOPMENT ORDER, AND IT'S ZONED R3, AND I'M PUTTING, EIGHT, DUPLEXES, WHICH WOULD BE 16 UNITS, WHICH IS WELL BELOW THE, THE, THE POPULATION THERE. AND I WANT TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY OF THIS PROPERTY THAT, THAT'S BEING DEVELOPED. TED ALFORD OWNED THAT PROPERTY AND TED AND I YEARS AGO, WE THAT, THAT THAT LINE BETWEEN THE TWO PROPERTIES IS ACTUALLY 23RD STREET THAT EXTENDS ACROSS THE BAY. AND WHAT WE DID IS THERE WAS A 30 FOOT. THERE WERE 30FT BETWEEN THE TWO OF US. AND WHAT WE DID IS WE DONATED THAT TO THE CITY OF PANAMA CITY BEACH SO THAT THEY COULD RUN THE WATER AND SEWAGE DOWN TO HIBISCUS CONDOMINIUM DOWN THERE AT THE END. THEY HAD NO WAY TO DO THAT.

WHAT I'M WONDERING, AND IT THE PROPERTY RIGHT BEHIND ME IS OWNED BY ROLAND VINES. AND HE'S ASKED ME TO SEE IF THERE IF THERE WOULD BE ANY ACCESS EVENTUALLY FROM THAT BRIDGE. THE BRIDGEWAY ROAD, OVER TO HIS PROPERTY, WHICH IS RIGHT BEHIND MINE. THAT'S THE THAT'S THE IN DOLPHIN BAY AND WITHIN THE CONFINES OF DOLPHIN BAY. I'M JUST BRINGING IT UP FOR INTEREST, AND I REALLY WANT TO. I WANT TO MEET WITH YOU, RAY, BECAUSE I'M VERY COOPERATIVE AS FAR AS GETTING THIS THIS LAST PHASE FIVE OF DOLPHIN BAY DEVELOPED, WE DEVELOPED DOLPHIN BAY IN FIVE PHASES, AND I. AND THAT'S WHAT THAT 11 ACRES IS, IS PHASE FIVE. BUT WE'D HAVE ACCESS DIRECTLY TO WILDWOOD ROAD INSTEAD OF THROUGH THE GATE. BUT I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP, THAT LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY UP TO YOU. I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU IF YOU KNEW TED ALFORD, HE'D HE HAD THE SHOPPING CENTER DOWNTOWN. THAT'S NOW ALL APARTMENTS. AND HE WAS QUITE A CHARACTER. AND AND THAT'S HOW THEY GOT THE ACCESS TO THE TO FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO GO DOWN THERE TO THE HIBISCUS CONDOMINIUM. THAT'S JUST A THAT WAS 23RD STREET. OKAY THANK YOU, THANK YOU. YES, SIR. ANYBODY

[01:20:05]

THERE IS AN EASEMENT THAT EXISTS. THERE IS A DITCH THERE. THERE'S UTILITIES THAT RAN BOTH FROM PANAMA CITY BEACH AND WITH BAY COUNTY. AND SO WITH THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER PROCESS, THEY ARE WORKING ON THAT NOW TO GIVE AN AN EASEMENT. WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT, IT'S ON THE VERY SOUTHERN SIDE. YEAH. THAT RUNS DOWN THE SOUTH SIDE OF OUR PROPERTY ALL THE WAY DOWN BACK TO WILDWOOD RIGHT THROUGH THERE. YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE? SIR GET YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS WILLIAM VAN DIKE, I'M LIVING AT 905 LIGHTHOUSE LAGOON COURT, AND. AND I'M JUST RIGHT ADJACENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT LAND AND IN WAY THAT THE HOUSES ARE GOING TO BE NOW, MR. DOZIER ALREADY ADDRESSED THAT HE WILL TAKE CARE OF THE, OF THE SEAWALL THERE.

THERE'S TWO BIG PIPES GOING IN THROUGH THE SEAWALL AND SAY, CAVE DOWN UNDER THE MERTON ABBEY THING. AND, IT MAKES AN IMPACT ON MY FOUNDATION FOR MY HOUSE. I GOT SOME PICTURES FROM IT ANYWAY, BECAUSE I TOOK PICTURES FROM IT, AND MY WIFE BLEW THEM UP ON THE COMPUTER. SO BUT, I'M CLEARED AND INVADED THAT, WE GET SOME REPAIR THERE. MADE. ANOTHER THING IS, IS THE, THE BOAT LOUNGE, BUT IS THERE AND YOU HAVE SEEN IT ANYWAY, I THINK THAT BOAT LOUNGE WAS ILLEGALLY PUT THERE. I'M NOT SURE, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THAT SAVE A CANOE, MAKE A CONNECTOR TO THAT, THAT BORDER THERE WHERE THE HOUSES ARE, THAT IS, JUST, NOT MOVING WATER AND SHE NEVER GOT THAT FAR . SO IT'S THAT'S A MOSQUITO POND. SO, ANYWAY, I APPRECIATE IT ANYWAY. BILL. YES. THANKS SIR. THANK YOU. ONE QUESTION. CAN WE BREAK? CAN YOU TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE TWO PIPES HE'S TALKING ABOUT COMING THROUGH THE SEAWALL. YEAH, IT'S AT THE END OF WHERE HIS PROPERTY IS. IT WAS AN OUTFALL AND IT'S COLLAPSED. AND THAT IS, YOU KNOW, PART OF THE AREA WHERE WE REDO THE BOAT RAMP AND THAT SEAWALL THAT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF. AND IS THAT WHAT'S CAUSING THE WATER TO BE STAGNANT THERE? NO, HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE POND IN THE MIDDLE THAT IS NOT CONNECTED. IT'S NOT THE STORMWATER POND. YEAH ARE YOU. IS THAT THE SAME? ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE TO USE THAT STORMWATER POND OR IS IT NO DEEPER OR MOVE. NO. WE WILL HAVE OUR OWN STORMWATER. YEAH. WE WILL NOT DISCHARGE INTO THAT POND. WE WILL HAVE STORMWATER ON SITE AND TREAT OUR OWN STORMWATER. WHO'S WHO'S POND IS THAT? I HONESTLY I DON'T KNOW I'D HAVE TO LOOK ON THE PROPERTY APPRAISER I THINK I DON'T KNOW, I'D HAVE TO I'D SPECULATE WHY, YOU KNOW, HOW IT WAS GOT BUILT. BUT I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, IF IT'S CAUSING SOME STAGNANT WATER, I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK INTO IT FOR MOSQUITO. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE? YES, SIR. WHAT'S YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS? FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. HOW Y'ALL DOING TODAY? MY NAME IS JOSH DEATON. MY ADDRESS IS 6576 HARBOR BOULEVARD . AND I AM LOCATED RIGHT BEHIND THIS IN THAT SUBDIVISION. HARBOR TOWN VILLAGE. SO THE PICTURE ON THE SCREEN IS A PRETTY GOOD REPRESENTATION, EXCEPT WE'RE MISSING ONE MINOR, MAJOR THING, RIGHT? WHERE HIS ARROW IS POINTING. RIGHT NOW, TO THE RIGHT OF THAT IS WHERE OUR CLUBHOUSE IS LOCATED, ALONG WITH OUR RETENTION POND. SO WHAT? WE'RE WE'RE NOT REALLY GETTING AROUND TO IS ALL THE WATER THAT RUNS OFF THE BACK OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS NOW GOING TO RUN INTO OUR POND, WHICH OUR POND CAN BARELY EVEN HOLD THE WATER FROM OUR OWN SUBDIVISION. WHAT IS THE WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE COURSE OF ACTION TO TRY TO HANDLE THAT? I UNDERSTAND HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO HIS OWN

[01:25:02]

THAT'S ALL. ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE? NO OKAY. ALL RIGHT. MR. GREER, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADDRESS

[01:30:15]

ALL RIGHT. JUST WHILE YOU'RE UP THERE, WHAT ABOUT THE DECKS? ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR PATIOS, I MEAN, DECKS. I AM NOT THE PROPERTY OWNER. I AM THE OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE WOULD BE AN ISSUE. WE'RE NOT PROPOSING ANYTHING WITH THE POND ITSELF. I GUESS WE'RE NOT EVEN SURE WHO OWNS THE POND. NO IT IS. IT'S OWNED BY THE APPLICANT. BUT IT IS NOT PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT. OKAY, I GOT YOU. I MEAN, WE'RE NOT PROPOSING ANYTHING WITH THE POND. THE POND IS NOT PART OF THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT ORDER.

OKAY? THE OWNER, IT'S NOT EVEN INCLUDED IN THE PUD? EXCUSE ME. IS THE OWNER PLANNING ON, I'M ASSUMING, CREATING THEIR OWN HOA AND EVERYTHING IN THAT? YES. YEAH. THIS PROPERTY WILL HAVE AN HOA. THE SUBDIVISION WILL. SO I THINK FROM THAT STANDPOINT, WE PUT THE HOA IN TOUCH WITH THEIR ATTORNEY. SO THAT GETS KIND OF INCORPORATED WITH THE HOA ON THE FRONT SIDE. AND Y'ALL CAN BEGIN THOSE CONVERSATIONS TO MAKE SURE TO TRY TO ADDRESS THOSE THINGS AND GET THAT COVERAGE. SO YEAH, DEFINITELY I MEAN YEAH, WE I THE DEVELOPER WANTS TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR. I MEAN, THERE'S NO DOUBT HE'S DEVELOPED MANY SUBDIVISIONS IN BAY COUNTY. AND THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE AT ALL. SO DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU, DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ANY TYPE OF PERMITTING PROBLEM GETTING THOSE PIPES, REPAIRED THAT HAVE FALLEN IN? NO. DO YOU FEEL LIKE THAT'S GOING TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THEIR PROBLEMS THAT THEY'RE HAVING WITH FLOODING NOW, ONCE THOSE PIPES ARE THAT IN THIS PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, NATURALLY, AS IT SITS TODAY HAS NO STORMWATER CONTROL.

SO IT'S RUNNING OFF INTO THERE AND IT'S RUNNING ALL OVER. SO WE WILL CONTROL THAT. WE WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT GRADE IT AND PUT IT, GET IT TO DRAIN INTO OUR PONDS. AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE TO PUT HIS STORMWATER ON, ON THE PROPERTY. YES, WE HAVE TO KEEP IT. SO THERE'S NO WAY HE CAN PUSH WATER IN, NO SORT OF LOOKING AT THE FOLKS. YES. NO WE CANNOT. AND ONCE YOU DO START TO MANAGE YOUR STORMWATER, IT IS GOING TO PROBABLY ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE PROBLEMS, SOME OF THE FLOODING THAT THEY'RE HAVING NOW. DEFINITELY. SO THAT'S, THAT'S AN IMPORTANT, KEY. THANK YOU.

THAT'S ALL I HAD. AND THIS IS SOME THESE ITEMS ALL CAME UP PRETTY MUCH IN 2021. YEAH.

BECAUSE AS IT SITS NOW THERE'S NO CONTROL OF ANY. IT'S JUST GOING WHEREVER IT WANTS DOWN.

THAT'S CORRECT. BUT UNLIKE 2021 WE'RE READY TO MOVE FORWARD. WE'VE SUBMITTED DEVELOPMENT ORDER. WE'RE WE'RE READY TO GO. SO THESE ITEMS WILL BE ADDRESSED. I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR ON THE POINT THAT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE EARLIER. COULD YOU TAKE THE ARROW AND MOVE DOWN TO THE BOAT RAMP? THAT THERE YOU GO. RIGHT THERE. SO THAT RIGHT. SO THE HEADWALL I'M TALKING ABOUT IS RIGHT ALONG THERE. THAT SHORELINE RIGHT THERE. SAME HEADWALL. YES. MAKE SURE WE'RE TALKING THE SAME SPOT. THAT IS CORRECT. OKAY LET'S LOOK AT IT ON OUR PROPERTY. AND, YEAH. AND LIKE CLAIRE HAD POINTED OUT, YOU HAVE TO RETAIN YOUR OWN STORMWATER.

YOU CAN'T ALLOW IT TO RUN OFF ON SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROPERTY. SO THAT TAKES CARE OF THE CONCERN.

AND ONCE YOU GO IN THERE AND DO THE ADJUSTMENTS THAT WILL PROBABLY, LIKE YOU SAID, ALLEVIATE SOME OF THEIR PROBLEM. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE THAT'S GOING TO BE GOOD FOR THEM.

DEFINITELY OKAY. THE CLARIFICATION OF WALL OR SEAWALL ONLY AT THE BOAT RAMP AND ONLY ON THE SOUTH, NOT THE NORTHERN SIDE. YEAH. THE SEAWALL THAT EXISTS TODAY, THAT'S ON OUR PROPERTY RIGHT THERE. YES. OKAY THANK YOU. YES. OKAY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? NO GOOD.

IS ANYBODY ELSE? I THINK WE'VE COVERED ALL PUBLIC COMMENT. MAKE SURE THERE'S ANY OTHERS. NO.

[01:35:02]

AND THE REPAIR OF THE STORMWATER OUTFALL PIPES? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. EXCUSE ME, SIR, WE'VE ALREADY MANAGED THE FLOOR. MY NAME IS WILLIAM VAN DIKE. I'VE ALREADY CLOSED THE FLOOR, AND I WANT TO JUST. SORRY. YOU CAN'T SPEAK NOW. NO MORE QUESTIONS. YEAH, NO MORE QUESTIONS. THAT'S OKAY. ALL RIGHT, SO WE GOT A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH CONDITION OF THE SEAWALL AND THE OUTFALL PIPES, WHICH I THINK THEY'RE PLANNING ON DOING ANYWAY. OKAY, THE THERE WAS A QUESTION EARLIER ABOUT THE . OTHER. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE OTHER PICTURE YOU HAD THERE A BIGGER PICTURE? IT'D BE FINE OVER HERE WHERE THE STORMWATER POND IS. IT WAS A QUESTION ABOUT STAGNANT BEING STAGNANT THERE.

AND, I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE ARE. I HAVE NOT EVEN LOOKED IN THERE, BUT, YOU KNOW, TO ADDRESS ANY STAGNATION, FOUNTAINS WOULD BE USED IN AN AREA LIKE THAT WHERE THE WATER IS JUST SITTING STILL CONTINUALLY, THERE WOULD BE FOUNTAINS TO, TO, STIR THE WATER UP. THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM LIKE THAT. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE HAD ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT IN THE PAST OF MOSQUITOES OR ANYTHING FOR THAT, BUT, HAVE YOU ALL CONSIDERED, DOING ANYTHING WITH THAT, THAT STAGNANT WATER BACK THERE ON YOUR STORMWATER POND? THE. NO DISCUSSION ON THAT? NO, I MEAN, THIS THIS DIDN'T COME UP ACTUALLY, LAST TIME AT ALL. BUT WE WILL WORK WITH THEM. I MEAN, WE HAVE NO PROBLEM WORKING WITH THEIR HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. PLUS IT ESTHETICALLY, IT'S NICE TO HAVE THE FOUNTAINS, BUBBLERS AS WE HAD SOME SOMETHING TO MOVE THEM AND IT WILL IT WILL HELP TO YEAH. AND WE WOULD. PUT THAT IN THERE AS WELL. THEY'LL PUT WELL THAT'S NOT EVEN THAT PROPER. THE STORMWATER POND IS NOT EVEN IN THE POND IS NOT ON THAT PROPERTY. NO, NO, HE OWNS IT, BUT IT'S NOT PART OF THE PUD OR THE DEVELOPMENT. OKAY. SO IT'S BUT WE'LL WORK WITH THEM. I MEAN, I YEAH, WE DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES. ALL RIGHT. I CAN'T DO THAT. TRYING TO GET ALL I CAN GET. BEFORE IT MOVES FORWARD, AND THAT'S, THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION.

JUST KIDDING, JUST WANTED TO, TO SAY MEMORIAL DAY IS, OBSERVANCES ARE COMING UP AT KENT FOREST LAWN, MAY THE 27TH, WILL BE AT 10 A.M. IN THE MORNING. AND WOULD, WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE AS POSSIBLE, TO, TO RECOGNIZE THE, THE THOSE AND TO HONOR THOSE FALLEN SOLDIERS THAT, THAT GAVE THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR YOU AND I. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. OKAY. MR. FEES, I JUST WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DOUBLE RED FLAG EFFORTS, OF THE COUNTY, PANAMA CITY BEACH AND THE BEACH VENDORS ALSO THE TDC. WE HAVE INCREASED, THE DOUBLE RED FLAGS THAT WERE FLYING ON THE BEACH TENFOLD WITH THE HELP OF, OF COURSE, THE TDC PURCHASING FLAGS AND HELP OF, SOME FOLKS FROM THE PUBLIC PUTTING THEM TOGETHER.

AND OF COURSE, THE VENDORS PUTTING THOSE FLAGS OUT. WE HAVE NOW GOT FLAG WARNING SIGNS ON THE BUS SYSTEM AS, THE TDC HAS, GOT AN ENTIRE SOCIAL MEDIA AND WEBSITE, THAT'S ADDRESSING JUST THE DOUBLE RED FLAGS SO THAT WE CAN LET OUR VISITORS KNOW BEFORE THEY GET TO THE AREA. WHAT WHAT WHAT THE FLAGS ARE ALL ABOUT. THE TDC ALSO RUNS BANNER PLANES THAT YOU SEE, FLYING AS SOON AS THE DOUBLE RED FLAGS GO INTO EFFECT. SO, VISITORS AND LOCALS, BOTH CAN SEE THOSE FLAG WARNINGS. THE FLAG WARNINGS THROUGH SOME CHANGES, HERE AT, AT OUR, AT OUR LEVEL WERE, NOW PLACED INSIDE EACH CONDOMINIUM, EACH HOTEL. SO EVERY VISITOR THAT COMES TO TOWN NOW SEES THE FLAG WARNINGS AND, AND KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE ABOUT. BUT, WE HAVE, TDC HAS GOT A NEW CAMPAIGN I WANTED TO BRING UP THAT IS PROMOTING DOUBLE FLAG DAY DEALS. SO WHEN THE WATERS ROUGH, A LOT OF, FOLKS AROUND TOWN, DIFFERENT VENDORS AND PARTNERS, OR OR OFFERING DIFFERENT DEALS SO THAT YOU'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE WATER, YOU CAN GO TO RESTAURANTS OR PLAY GAMES OR WHATEVER, AND YOU CAN GET THAT INFORMATION, BY GOING ON TO THE TDC WEBSITE. AND THEY'LL SHOW EACH, EACH VENDOR OR EACH PARTNER THAT'S, YOU KNOW, OFFERING A DEAL. IT WAS THIS WAS CREATED BY THE LEADERSHIP BAY CLASS PROJECT. SO IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN A LOT OF FUN. AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO GOING TO DO A LOT OF GOOD. SO JUST WANTED TO BRING UP THESE EFFORTS HAVE NOT GONE UNNOTICED. THERE WERE NINE BEACH GOERS THAT DROWNED IN BAY COUNTY LAST YEAR BEFORE JUNE 15TH.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE HAD ONE DROWNING TO DATE THIS YEAR, BUT WE CAN SEE THAT THESE TRAGEDIES, THEY'RE DOWN AND THAT'S FROM ALL OF OUR EFFORTS, BAY COUNTY, PANAMA CITY BEACH, ALL OF THE LIFEGUARDS, THE CITY OF PANAMA CITY BEACH, EVERYBODY WORKING TOGETHER. AND IT'S JUST MAKING ALL OF OUR BEACHES SAFER FOR LOCALS AND FOR THE VISITORS, THAT ARE COMING TO PANAMA CITY.

AND I JUST WANT TO CONTINUE TO THANK THE BEACH VENDORS FOR DOING A VOLUNTEER SERVICE, TO THE COUNTY ALSO. AND, JUST WANTED TO WELCOME THE NEW TDC MEMBERS, MIKE GERMAN AND ETHAN REGISTER. I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO DO A GREAT JOB AND BE A GREAT ADDITION TO THE TDC. THAT'S ALL
