PROCEEDINGS
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the December 19th meeting of the
Collier County Planning Commission.
If everybody will please rise for Pledge of Allegiance.
(The Pledge of Allegiance was recited in unison.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Thank you. Will the secretary please do the roll call.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Yes, sir.
Mr. Eastman?
(No response.)
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Mr. Chrzanowski?
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Present.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: MT. Fry?
(No response.)
COMMISSIONER FRYER: I'm here.
Chairman Strain?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Here.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Vice Chair Homiak?
COMMISSIONERHOMIAK: Here.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Mr. Schmitt?
COMMISSIONERSCHMITT: Here.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Mr. Dearborn?
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN: Here.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Chair, we have a quorum of six.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Thank you.
Addenda to the agenda: There's a couple things we need to talk about.
The first one is Item 9Al is the request to do a transmittal hearing for the Innovation Zone Overlay at the
Activity Center No. 9 at I-75 and Collier Boulevard.
After some discussions with the Manager's Office, there's been a request to continue this until the 16th.
In some form or other it may come back. And one of the suggestions was that it might come back as a workshop
for a discussion to try to figure out what's trying to be accomplished and maybe the best way to proceed.
As some of you may have discovered, the broadness of the request was concerning to at least myself, and
I'm sure others and, for various reasons, it will be continued, or they're asking for the continuance to the 16th. I
suggest we grant it with the proviso if it needs to be a workshop, it can go that route instead of a transmittal
hearing, so...
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Chairman, would a workshop be back to us or the BCC?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: No. It would be to us. That was the suggestion, so that we can help form
some ideas and limitations or whatever it would take to provide some of the uses that some people think are
needed in that activity center.
Joe.
(Mr. Eastman and Commissioner Fry are now present in the boardroom.)
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Just a comment. When it comes back on the workshop, I really want a
map that clearly defines those areas within that proposed innovation zone that already have uses on them, what
the uses are, and how much of property are we really talking about that's going to be declared available for any
type of innovation zone because, from my estimate, it was very little.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, I think it's already an innovation zone. What they're looking for -- from
what I could tell, they're wanting to add some uses that were intended to be comparable and compatible to what's
already there, but in looking and narrowing and boring down into the number of NAICS code references there
were, it was clearly more than what I think was anticipated when we got into that.
So all that will come out in a workshop discussion, Joe, and we'll probably get an explanation of why that
Page 2 of 18
December 19,2019
area's even being considered for this, and we can certainly ferret out what properties will be beneficial or
benefiting from it so that the public, especially there -- there's almost a dozen residential communities surrounding
within that activity center.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Right.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: And they all need to be participatory in this.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Well, I'd always like to know, the property owners who have businesses
in that area, what their positions are.
The other question I have, though, is we already have an ordinance that was passed that establishes a TIF,
tax incremental financing. And from my colleagues on the Board, if you clearly understand what a TIF is, it's
actually taking dollars that were supposed to go into the General Fund, they establish a base year, and then after
the base year, every year thereafter, that incremental difference goes into a special fund. In essence, that means
that the taxpayers make up the difference. And I'll use the word. To me it's nothing more than money
laundering, and that's really what it is.
And I see that we've already passed the ordinance to establish a TIF, and it identified that money to be
used to pay for impact fees, which was absolutely astounding to me. But that's a political decision, and I leave
that to the Board.
The only thing I did not see in this was any type of advisory board like other elements within the county
that have tax incremental finance. There was no identification within this ordinance or within the innovation
zone that identified some kind of an advisory board.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: And I think, through the workshop process, all those questions will be befter
addressed.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Okay.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: This was -- the request for continuance is the only thing on the table right now.
I don't necessarily disagree with some of your statements, but I think we could flesh all these issues out at the
workshop.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Well, I just bring it up. I don't want an answer now. I just want staff
to understand my concerns. Plus, I have about an hour more's worth of concerns, but I guess we'll get into that
during of the workshop.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: I've move for continuance.
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN: Second.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Moved and second. Allthose in favor, signif, by saying aye.
COMMISSIONERCHRZANOWSKI: Aye.
COMMISSIONER FRY: Aye.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Aye.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Aye.
COMMISSIONER HOMIAK: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Aye.
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Anybody opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Motion carries 7-0.
Somebody woke up and got in here this morning. Karl, welcome to the panelthis morning. We weregoing to hold up, but we knew you overslept sometimes. But, you know, this is great.
COMMISSIONER FRY: I wanted Karen to have the satisfaction of beaiing me here.
COMMISSIONER HOMIAK: Okay. Next year we'll see.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Mr. Pritt and people from the immediate neighbors, thank you for attendingtoday. We'll look forward to hearing from you in the future.
CoMMISSIoNER FRY: Mr. Chairman, the TV screen says "the meeting will begin shortly.,' Is it --CHAIRMAN STRAIN: No. We were waiting -- Troy was even waiting for you. Everybody was
Page 3 of 18
December 19,2019
waiting for you. Now that you're here, they'll correct that.
COMMISSIONER FRY: I don't believe that for a second.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: And then the next item that's going to change was already changed on our
agenda. We're adding ltem I lA. It was added by emailto us all. It's CU-PL20180002693. lt's the
lmmokalee Guadalupe Center at Westclox Street about a half mile west of Carson Road. That was what we
heard -- we're not going to -- that was what we heard two weeks ago. We did not vote to have it come back on
consent because it wasn't that extensive, but in the review of the documents that they sent to be now added to or
presented to the Board they added a couple items that -- or one item at least that needs to be signed off on, or at
least discussed with us. They've come back, asked for that discussion, and they will be after our second thing on
today's agenda, basically, under old business, so...
Stan.
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: I don't know -- maybe we should take them before the other
item.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Uh-uh.
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: No?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: No, they're going to be I lA.
The next item on the agenda is 9A2, which is the cleanup item from the lll2l meeting, which we've
already reviewed it, so it should go pretty fast. I left that meeting a liule bit early. I'm not sure why we're
hearing it today. Now, we can get into -- let me go finish through the agenda. We'll get into Jeremy's
explanation of it.
Which takes us to Planning Commission absences. We have no meeting on January 2nd, thankfully.
Now, Karl, you can show up like you did last time. That's great.
COMMISSIONER FRY: I'll show up in the evening.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: The next meeting will be January 16th. Does anyone know if they're not going
to make it to the 16th, okay?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. We'll have a quorum.
Approval of the minutes: We were sent our packages from November 21st. Does anybody have any
corrections or changes? If not, is there a motion?
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Move approval of the minutes.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Is there a second?
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN: Second.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: All in favor, signifu by saying aye.
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Aye.
COMMISSIONER FRY: Aye.
COMMISSIONERFRYER: AYE,
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: AYC.
COMMISSIONER HOMIAK: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Aye.
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Anybody opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Motion carries 7-0.
BCC report and recaps, Ray?
MR. BELLOWS: Yes. On December l0th, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Lely
Barefoot Beach PUD amendment on their summary agenda. That would be subject to Planning Commission
recommendation; they also approved the Longview PUD amendment and the companion Orange Blossom
Page 4 of 18
December 19, 2019
small-scale plan amendment. That was also approved on the summary agenda; as well as the Cayo Whippoorwill
petition. The Rivergrass SRA was continued to the second meeting in January.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Wow.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Thank you.
That takes usto Chairman's report. Theonlything I wanted to havea brief discussion on with all ofyou
is back to this, and it's -- we've continued it, so that was what we wanted to do under addenda to the agenda, but a
discussion on that item, which is 9Al, involving the innovation zone.
It was suggested to me maybe a workshop would be a way to approach it to kind ofget all ofthe ideas
and the thoughts and discussions kind oforganized a little bit better. I think that's a great idea, but I wanted to
see how you felt about having a 5:00 meeting for the workshop. There is I I different communities around
this -- that area, and it would be nice ifthey could come and participate since they're going to be the recipients of
the changes in that activity zone.
The way it's proposed now, they may nol -- they would not be individually notified on a case-by-case
basis because itwasgoingto be doneas a zoning overlay. Now, I don't even know if thatwill be the outcome of
the discussion in the end. But I would -- I don't know what you-all think. Is that something that is - what do
you think ofthat for an idea to have an evening meeting on that one? Does that cause anybody any heartache?
COMMISSIONER FRYER: It depends on the day only.
COMMISSIONER FRY: I'll be here anyway.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Yeah.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Whether we meet or not.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Stan, would that work for you?
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Well, when I -- next time I talk to the Counqr Manager,s Office and we
think about -- we talk about scheduling the 16th, we'll see if we can schedute it possibly for an evening meeting or
however that might work out.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Mark, could we -- are we going to get some kind of assurance that we're
going to have folks involved in this participate? Other - that being notice to them?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: It's kind of like the last one we heard. I was hoping that when Jeremy comes
up and discusses, we could -- well, I'll ask Jeremy right now.
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN: Mr. Chairman, a quick point of clarification while we're waiting for
Jeremy. If it is moved to the evening, that's okay, but it would be at a basketball game coaching a varsity
basketball game.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Every night?
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN: No. the t6th.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Well, we'd have to see what date then.
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN: Okay.
COMMISSIONER FRyER: We already have a meeting in the morning of the l6th.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Yeah. we do. yeah.
I was just trying to -- try to get to a workshop. If we're going to go and convert this to a workshop, then Iwould suggest -- I was just trying to see if a workshop would be better in the evening or the daltime.
And, Jeremy, I know you're not involved in transmittals as much ut you ur" in the other things, but you,re
actually knowledgeable about this language that,s been written.
The stakeholders involved in this activity center: We've got Golden Gate City; Golden Gate Estates;
there are three or four projects within the activity that are gone residential; there's Saddlebrook Apartments and
another residential there; there's Bay -- I mean, Cedar Hammock; and there's Glen Forest (sic). I mean, it,s got alot of folks. How did you notify the - when you did the stakeholder meeting for the golicourse thing, how didyou arrange the notifications there so people knew it and got involved? And then walthat an evening meeting aswell?
MR. FRANTZ: For the golfcourse amendment that you_all recently heard?
Page 5 of 18
December 19,2019
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Yeah.
MR. FRANTZ: Yeah. We sent out mailed notices. We put a sign -- a couple of variable message
signs on the road. And I know that for this particular GMP amendment, David did hold a public information
meeting, and that was held at night. Yeah, sorry, the golf course amendment was also held at night, that public
meeting. So I think a night hearing would be beneficial for the community.
CHAIRMAN STRAN: I would feel more comfortable if we sent something to the Board and we could
tell them it did get vetted as typically done instead of a broadcast that not a lot of people pay attention to, as the
paper ads are required.
Joe.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Just a question on this as well, and the boundaries shown -- would
the -- and this is something we would address at the workshop. But would the -- would it have to be amended
again once the interchange plan is completed and designs are completed? Because that's all in the works now for
a major interchange at this -- at 7 5 and Collier.
CIIAIRMAN STRAIN: But those right-of-ways are what they would build within.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Yeah. All the right-of-ways already, I think, have been identified, and
that certainly is going to change the boundaries again.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, actually, I don't think so, Joe. But, anyway, I've got the plans for
the -- what the DOT's planning to do. They're going to a partial cloverleaf at I-75 and Collier Boulevard, and
they're going to run a dual overpass at what is now Davis Boulevard where it intersects Collier Boulevard as well.
What that will do is give them right-on and right-off of I-75 going north and south in all directions. But I think
it's all, from what I can tell, in the existing right-of-way. Yeah.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: All within the existing, all right.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Anyway, David, did you have something you wanted to add?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Jeremy, with that information, then, we'll -- as the staff or County
Manager's Office decides how they want to proceed, at least we now know the possibility of a night meeting for
us works. It seems to be well received by the attempts you've done in the past to get people involved quickly,
and that might be a very positive way to look at this. So thank you very much.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Chairman?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Go ahead. Ned, then Joe.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: May I say that I have got evening plans. I have daughters in town the l6th
through the 19th, so that would be -- I might be constrained if it became an evening meeting during those dates.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, no. They're welcome. They can come here.
COMMISSIONER FRYE,R: Oh. Well, I'll tell them that. They'll be delighted.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: That's what we'll work out. If it looks like an evening meeting might be more
productive and if that's part of -- if that's the magnitude of the changes that we're going to have to do, it would
dictate that, we'll just work a date that works for everybody. We're not locked into any date. But right now -- in
fact, the continuance, it just might be simply pulled because it may come back as enough of a refined animal that
they might want to readvertise it, so...
Okay, Joe.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Just to also include in your analysis the history of this 305 parcel. I
have absolutely no idea what that is.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: It's called Melon property.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Other than you identified it. And there was nothing else in the
documentation that described what it is or --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: It's a county-owned property. It's got a lot of core issues, so...
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: I'm well aware of the area. I just --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Well, with that, then we'll see how this gels up. And we've got the
information we need to hopefully people listening so we can work on that.
Page 6 of 18
December 19, 2019
Thank you, Jeremy.
That takes us -- we don't have any consent items. The public - 94 I's been continued.
So, Jeremy, before you sit down, let's go to 9A2. Can you explain to us why we're here?
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: And just for clarification, you earlier continued the item as the public hearing,
but you're also looking at scheduling a workshop.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Right. And what I was hoping is when all this gels up and the County
Manager's Office takes a look at it, they prefer a way to go and we're able to do that. Do we need to restructure
the motion on the l6th in order to assure we have enough -- we can modifo it? Because if they decide - for
example, ifthey decide to approach this more definitively and they change the uses, narrow them down to items
that are more compatible, that may take a workshop process to get there instead ofthe hearing on the l6th, and
that may be delayed, then, until a future date, which I know, in my discussions that I've had, they would be
readvertising it. So do we need to do anyhing at this meeting today to consider the l6th now orjust leave it like
it is and deal with it on the l6th?
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: I think you can leave it as-is where you've officially continued the item to the
l6th. Ifthe proposal gets modified to the extent that it's something you can vote on on the l6th, then you can
proceed that way. You can also schedule the workshop and cancel the workshop if you need to.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: So it's just kind of leaving a couple options open at this point.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Thank you very much.
Oh, Ellen, you're going to take Jeremy's place, huh? Okay. What you got?
MS. SUMMERS: Yes. Good moming. For the record, Ellen Summers, senior planner.
We brought this LDC amendment before you-all on the November 2 lst meeting, and I believe you-all had
a couple questions regarding the public notice procedures and asked that we continue this. So we're back here
today to answer any questions, give you a little briefoverview ofthe public notice procedures currentiy.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Because I left that one early, we had - I thought we finished sections of it, so
the only piece that's outstanding is the public notice?
MS. SU M M ERS: Yes.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: ln the end did any of it get voted on, or is the whole thing hetd to vote for today
meeting?
MS. SUMMERS: This amendment did get voted on. The rest of the amendments that were included --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: So the only thing we're here about is a clarification on this?
MS. SUMMERS: Correct.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Excellent. Thank you.
MS. SUMMERS: We just wanted to clarify. So we are amending the public notice procedures for a
PUDA amendment, rezones, and Comprehensive Plan amendments for small-scale and site-specific. And to
clari[,, we are codi$,ing what the current practice is for public-notice procedures.
So currently we send mail notices prior to the NIM before the first public hearing, and that,s sent to
property owners within the notification area, which may be 500 or 1,000 feet outside ofthe project boundary.
Additionally, staffelects to include additional property owners that could be impacted by a iUb amendment or a
rezone, as well as a site-specific Comp Plan amendment.
Additionally, we have a newspaper advertisement that gets sent out prior to each public hearing, so it gets
sent before Planning Commission as well as the Board of CounW Commissioners.
And then r'r e also have lhe signs posted. Signs are posted prior to the first Planning Commission
meeting, and that sign will include the dates for the Planning Commission hearings as wellis the Board of
County Commissioners. And ifthere's any changes in those dates, staffdid require the applicants to update those
signs on the project perimeters.
And I think that was where some of the questions were coming from. This amendment proposes to
remove a requirement that's been in the code for quite some time but it's not been implemented, and thafs to sendan additional mail notice prior to BCC. And the way that the code language reads, it states that the county shall
Page 7 of 18
December 19,2019
send those notices. Previously it stated that the Clerk would send those notices. But, again, historically, this is
not a procedure that's been practiced. So we're just cleaning up.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: So the sending of the notices would only occur prior to the NIM and then prior
to the Planning Commission meeting and basically the --
MS. SUMMERS: Correct.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: -- next step, being the BCC, would be probably discussed both at the NIM and
the Planning Commission scheduling?
MS. SUMMERS: Correct.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay.
MS. SUMMERS: And, again, that mail notice that we're amending out states that the notice gets sent to
the real property owners. In most cases the rezone or Comprehensive Plan amendments, the real property owners
are a pafty to that petition. A PUD amendment's a little bit more of a unique situation which, you know, you'd
have the developer.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Anybody have any questions?
Ned.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: My concems were allayed by the meeting I had with Ellen, so I'm satisfied
with this. In essence, this is conforming the language to a long-time practice, and so it seems satisfactory to me.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Karl.
COMMISSIONER FRY: A common theme -- and my colleague Commissioner Fryer often brings up
the fact that in the NIM audio recordings and the minutes, very often the speaker is not identified. And I
wondered -- I do see requirements for the NIM in this -- you know, in this amendment. Would it be appropriate
to add a requirement that there be an audio -- I don't see any requirement for there to be an audio recording
provided or taken or that each speaker be identified. Is that something that should be formalized?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: It is, in the admin code. That was done before you got here, but we did -- we
had put in the -- we clarified all that in the admin code.
COMMISSIONER FRY: Very good. Glad to hear it. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: So.ry. I just figured --
MS. SUMMERS: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER FRY: Very good answer, Ellen.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: There was one missing step in the admin procedures, but it seems to have
been fixed just by staff practice, and that is that the administrative procedures require the transcript go to staff.
Then the missing piece was that staff would forward that as part of the record to us, but staff does that as a matter
of practice, so I'm satisfied.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Anybody else have any questions?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Is there a motion, then, to approve this LDC segment?
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN: So moved.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Second?
COMMISSIONERSCHMITT: Second.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Motion made and seconded. Discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: All in favor, signifu by saying aye.
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Aye.
COMMISSIONER FRY: Aye.
COMMISSIONERFRYER: Aye.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: AYE.
COMMISSIONER HOMIAK: Aye.
COMMISSIONERSCHMITT: Aye.
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN: Aye.
Page I of 18
December 19, 2019
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Anybody opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Motion carries 7-0.
And, Ellen, that's it for your item today, right?
MS. SUMMERS: That's it.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Then now we're going to - first of all, there's no new business listed,
and we'll go into old business.
And this is a leftover item that came about for the - and I'll read it. I I A would be Conditional Use
PL20180002693, the Immokalee Guadalupe Center on Westclox a half mile west ofCarson Road.
Heidi, do we need to have disclosures and swearing in on this one since it's a discussion on -- more like a
consent?
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: It is more of a consent. You already had the hearing.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Your mic's not on.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: I'm going to recommend that you do any disclosures if there's any supplemental
disclosures from the last hearing.
CI{AIRMAN STRAIN: Swearing in? It wouldn't hurt.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Yes.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay, good. All those wishing to testii/ on behalf of this item, please rise to
be swom in by the court reporter.
(The speakers were duly swom and indicated in the affirmative.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Disclosures: We'll start with Tom.
MR. EASTMAN: No supplemental disclosures.
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Ditto.
COMMISSIONERFRY: Ditto.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: I had an additional meeting with staff.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: And as I did.
Karen.
COMMISSIONER HOMIAK: Nothing since last time.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Joe.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: No additional disclosures.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Patrick.
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN: Same response as Sran.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: With that, we have a master plan that has a -- was -- had a slight change into it
compared to what we talked about originally, and thanks to the County Attorney's Office in their review, it was
caught before it got passed on to the Board.
And if you look closely, you'll see that there's been dumpster locations specifically located where before it
was more ofa generalized location within that rectangle area. And that was the piece that we're here for today.
And, Richard, do you want to have any input on this before we have a discussion on it or --
MR. YOVANOVICH: Mr. Chairman -- I have it, if you want me to put it up, Heidi. I will, yes.
Forthe record, Rich Yovanovich on behalfofthe petitioner. Mr. English is here to address any
engineering-related concems. But I think as the Chairman pointed out, you wanted this to come back to identifo
where the dumpster locations may be when this property is ultimately developed, and that,s what's on the master
plan before you today.
I don't know that it warrants a big --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: They weren't --
MR. YOVANOVICH: - involved discussion.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: -- on the original master plan, and that,s kind of what _
MR. YOVANOVICH: Understood.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: -- sprung the discussion.
Page 9 of 18
December 19,2019
So from that viewpoint, I'll turn to the rest of the panel. And the reason the dumpster locations have
always been an issue is because they're generally -- they can be operated early in the morning, dump trucks come
in, and they'll raise up the load, which -- and make a lot of noise. The flaps will bang. And then at the same
time they have backup -- backup cam -- not cameras, but what do you --
MR. YOVANOVICH: They beep.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: They deep. How's that?
COMMISSIONERSCHMITT: Beepers.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Backup signals. So with that in mind, we have many of the conditional uses or
land-use actions that come through that have dumpster locations. We try to keep them as far away from the
adjoining residential as possible.
In this case they're about -- they're on the side closest to some of the residential. Had that been on the
original plan, it probably would have highlighted the issue and I would have, myself, suggested that they be put
somewhere off the front where they're away from the residential further, because there's a lot of asphalt up front,
and you could put them anyvhere along those asphalt areas. I don't know the reasoning to put them here, but I'm
sure there is reasoning. So if you guys want to explain it, I think it would certainly be appropriate at this point.
MR. ENGLISH: For the record, John English with Peninsula Engineering.
Yeah, that is the -- it has always been identified as the service area. Allthe deliveries, the areas where
they're going to feed the children, all that are located at the terminus of that service area, so that's where the trash
will be basically generated. So to move them around to the front, let's say, just could be problematic from just
being a really long haul for employees.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well -- and, see, if you -- do you have the original master plan with you you
could put on?
MR. ENGLISH: I don't have the originalwith me.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Mr. Strain -- if you recall, you asked us to put up kind of the plan of --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Yes.
MR. YOVANOVICH: -- when we originally -- "what do we want to be when we grow up" plan with the
future explanations and all that -- and I'm having trouble getting this to go the right way.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Yeah. I'm having trouble figuring it out, too, the way you're doing it.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Well, I was trying to get this to show.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Turn it to the left. That's where it showed -- that's what started the discussion, I
believe.
MR. YOVANOVICH: But this is where the dumpster was located when we showed you the overall
plan, and you asked us to come back with a plan that was consistent with what we had put on the visualizer.
Now, perhaps it didn't catch your attention or whatever, but I'm just saying when we came back in, we
had come back with what we believed was the direction of bring a master plan back with how you really
anticipate the development of the site to be, which is what we did, which was, in fact, different than what was
attached to the original application because the original application was a bubble plan.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Ms. Gundlach has the master plan that was in your agenda packet --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: I was just going to ask if somebody had that.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Which is a bubble plan. That raised the whole discussion of can you show us
really where the buildings are going to be, et cetera, which resulted in this being presented.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Right. But, Rich, there's a difference between receiving a document early and
allowing us a week to review it. That's probably why doing things on the fly is a little difficult. And I
understand your -- I understand your point. We were shown this. We looked at it. I looked at it. I was
concentrating on the orange areas and the building layout and the setbacks.
Honestly, if you put the other plan back on, Nancy, when that plan was shown with the refuge area,
there's a little square notch up in the corner. I assumed you'd be -- all your -- it's like Costco and some of the
other places where they collapse all their boxes. They have trash compactors. I thought the trucks would be
Page 10 of 18
December 19, 2019
pulling in there, loading out the trash, and taking it away. And, honestly, had we -- had you shown those
dumpsters on this plan and the location you proposed, it would have been highlighted immediately as an issue,
and it still is.
Go ahead.
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Ms. Gundlach's version does have a hand drawn of what looks like the
dumpster that was not in the version that you reviewed in your agenda package.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Right. yeah, that blue ink one?
MS. ASHTON-CICKO: Correct.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: So now when move it -- when you show it -- first of all, now you're not only not
in the service and refuse area as it's shown on this plan, you're on the outskirts ofthe edges of it as close to the
residential to the west that you could possibly be and still, you know -- other than being on the roadway.
I'm not saying -- I don't see how that's protecting that neighborhood. And I don't know why you can't
move it to another area. I mean, I just -- I don't see the problem with that. We do this all the time, Rich. you
know that's been one ofour sensitive issues. lt's noisy. A lot oftimes it's really early in the moming, and the
residents next door who aren't expecting this, or who wouldn't have expected it, probably, when they moved in,
have now got to deal with it 60 feet offtheir backyard.
MR. ENGLISH: For the record, John English.
I just have a question. So I understand every -- how we got to where we are today. I understand it
completely.
CHAIRMANSTRAIN: Right.
MR. ENGLISH: what my observation is is that little notch that one might have, from the previous -- the
original master plan might have thought was the dumpster location was roughly right there.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay.
MR. ENGLISH: We are now proposing to put it roughly right here.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: That's another 60 feet close.
MR. ENGLISH: I don't know why that's such a big difference.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, you know, first of all, in the plan that was provided to us, it showed the
building surrounding the area, which would have provided some protection from the noise. And ifyou count
parking spaces that you're moving it closer to the west than what that little square represents, you're about 60 feet
closer, which is -- as much as you're away from the residential in that location, now you're taking 120 feet, cutting
it down to 60. It'sjust the fact that ifs going to be noisier for those neighbors.
MR. ENGLISH: And -
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: And, John, let's think of a different way. What's wrong with putting it up front,
other than you not wanting to do it?
MR. ENGLISH: That was the next point I was going to make right. Right, we don,t want to do it.
So the people are getting deliveries back here. So vehicles are coming back here doing deliveries. The
food service area for the children is right in here. So the waste is generated here. That's - the-waste - the solid
waste is going to have to somehow be moved all the -- I'm not sure exactly where it would be put that would be
better.
We have residential on three sides ofus. So what are we saying, somewhere over here? So somebody,sgoing to have to move this stuffall the way over there and --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: If you keep it towards the back of that refuse area towards the east side insteadoftowards the west side, that may be all it takes.
And, Ned, you had a question?
coMMISSIONER FRyER: yes. And this may be rerated to what you,re raising, Chairman. Butcomparing the two site plans, the one we got first had verbiage that's been removed. It said 5g-foot minimumbuilding setback at the top ofthe drawing. Atthe bottom it said 30-foot minimum setback. Soltookitfromthat that there was going to be less buffering or less separation between these dumpsters and the structures to thewest.
Page 11 of 18
December 19,2019
MR. ENGLISH: So -- I don't know if I'm going to answer the question you're asking correctly, but I'll
try. Our MCP always was a two-page document. I don't believe we've changed these setbacks. We probably
changed the east/west/south -- we did change the principal setbacks because --
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Can you put the first site plan on.
MR. ENGLISH: You want the MCP or the site plan I was showing you?
COMMISSIONER FRYER: The one that we had in our initial materials.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Nancy's.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Nancy's, yeah.
See at the top it says 5O-foot minimum setback; is that north/south?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Yeah.
COMMISSIONERFRYER: Okay.
MR. ENGLISH: Yes.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Well, that answers that.
MR. ENGLISH: That's from Westclox.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: And then beneath the 3O-foot minimum building setback, is that also
north/south?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: It's easVwest.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: That's east/west?
MR. ENGLISH: Right here; east.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: That's not -- the plan that they've got on the screen, you see the arrow where the
30 minimum points to it?
COMMISSIONERFRYER: Yes.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: That arrow is where the -- that's the 30 feet. That double -- little double arrow
down there between the two points, that's the distance. That's the direction. It's an easVwest direction off the
west property line.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Okay. But that's not on the second iteration of the site plan.
MR. YOVANOVICH: We're further back.
MR. ENGLISH: The microphone is dead, so I'm going to have to yell.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: No, you can't yell.
MR. ENGLISH: Yeah. The setbacks got larger. So based on the last meeting, we came in with 50 feet
front, 30-foot side. Commissioner -- Chairman Strain asked, well, hey, I see you got your building footprint up
here. Can you give yourselves a little room? We understand it's -- you're not to final design yet. Give yourself
a little room. But can you set a more definitive box that's not -- traditionally these things are just setbacks
directly of the property lines, and they're much more like what -- in line with what we had.
So, yeah, we went back, and we gave ourselves a little room, and those setbacks all increased. I think
that side setback became 60 feet, let's say. The front setback that was 50 off Westclox became 175, something
like that. I don't have it in front of me.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: All right. Well, why wouldn't then -- instead of removing the 3O-foot
minimum reference, why wouldn't you increase that to 60 if that's what it is?
MR. ENGLISH: On what we resubmitted it did, I think.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: No, I don't see it on there.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: They put it in the table. I'm not sure it made it --
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Oh, maybe it's on the table. It's not on the image.
MR. YOVANOVICH: If you see on the -- that's Page2.
You just covered it up, John.
MR. ENGLISH: I know, but we took them off -- we took them off of Page I -
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Well, some of them you did. Not all of them. Okay. I see it. There it
is.
MR. YOVANOVICH: It's there.
Page 12 of 18
December 19, 2019
COMMISSIONER FRYER: It's there. You're right. Thank you.
The other -- were you finished with dumpsters?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Yes.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: The other question I had had to do with the water management area. The
initial site plan we had had curved lines, and then they were straightened in the second, and I just wondered if
there was - why that was. These are the two site plans; the one that Nancy put up, and then the latest one.
MR. ENGLISH: Right. So let's go back to a quick history. This was the original. That's the question
I think you're basing your question on.
COMMISSIONERFRYER: Yes.
MR. ENGLISH: So we have a lake, and then in the back we label this as dry detention. I'm really
struggling with the direction of this, because I'm way over here with the microphone, but -- so together we had
lake, dry detention in the back.
Let's go to what we have today. It's really the same thing. So lake, dry detention. The size changed
because we went and met with the Water Management District who has the purview to manage drainage in
Southwest Florida, and there were some issues we had to address, so we had to increase the size ofthe stormwater
pond.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Okay. So the curved lines have been expanded to a larger out-boundary
with the straight lines?
MR. ENGLISH: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Thank you.
CI{AIRMAN STRAIN: And they're engineers, so they only know how to do straight lines.
MR. ENGLISH: I completely agree. Perfect radii work, too.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Go ahead, Karl.
COMMISSIONER FRY: Just a quick note. I believe one of the other changes you made on here,
correct me if I'm wrong, was to notate a little wider 15-foot maximum light pole height width that went all the
way to the buildings, conect? So you actually expanded that area because the concem was that it did not extend
all the way across the parking lot initially, but you corrected that in this version; is that accurate?
MR. ENGLISH: Yes, sir, you're correct. One of the results of our last meeting was we were asked to
identifu a corridor on that west property line, for which we would limit the height ofthe sight lights, and that,s
that hatched area there. And it is something along the lines ofT0ish feet wide set back -- offseiofthe property
line.
COMMISSIONER FRY: Got it. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Could you move -- and I notice you got -- you started out with one dumpster.
Now you've got four -- or two dumpsters.
MR. ENGLISH: Let me answer that one real quick, iflcould. Those are options. Sosincewe
are -- we haven't designed that area in total. So I called the architect. They were thiowing around ideas. And
so rather than us put one on there, the two ideas/options we were looking at are right at thaientrance so that we
could get truck access. The two options we were looking at were as shown. And I didn't want to get stuck with
one, ifpossible, if we were going to be agreeable with that general location.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: But couldn't you move those to the east side ofthat refuse area closer to thebuilding? And that way the trucks would be somewhat shielded, the noise, because they'd be actually - you,vegot building -- or they've got buildings on part ofthem, and -- so is that - would that - I mean, that might - thatwould resolve it. They keep you in the area you want to be in, but it would just be further away from the houses.MR. ENGLISH: I'm just pausing because just -- we haven't -- we're not to the point wiere that area,sfully designed yet. So I'm sitting here running through my mind _ I'm thinking.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: If you put the plan on, Richard, with the parking spaces that you are using now,
and. you count the parking spaces at l0 foot each, you'd see you're almost 5b or odfeet further than from the endofthat refuse area than was shown. youjust had a plan wiih some parking spaces. the.e you go. And thesuggestion is to move it - well, you've even got a notch where I had anticifut"a tnut littl" *tit" iquu." *ur rp
Page 13 of 18
December 19,2019
in -- where that -- apparently to the - keep going to the north, a little bit to the right, a little bit more. Right
there. You can't park there.
MR. ENCLISH: Well, that's building right here.
CHAIRMAN STRAN: Right. You're going to be loading -- it's a loading portion, so you'll be coming
in straightforward, wouldn't you? You couldn't go around the comer to load.
MR. ENGLISH: Well, my view of this is, right now -- so one thing -- one thing that -- to give us some
common point to look at, this playground area, the current location we showed isjust touching that. So this is
roughly where we have it shown on the new MCP, okay.
This building area has a -- by the way, this isn't final design. This is someone laying something out.
The building has a canopy back here. That's roughly what that is equating to.
So the closest we could get back here would be somewhere back here. And the trucks -- itjust
makes -- you know, ifthat's -- if you think that makes a difference, I guess we have to consider that.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, farther to the east -- to the east you go, the better it would be. And it's
unfortunate we didn't even -- we didn't see the diagram when we originally got the packet. I think it would be
have been better timing. But as long as you can push it back further than what you're showing on the one you're
showing us today, that certainly helps my concems.
These have been a sore subject on every single layout we have that has residential along it, so -- I mean,
that works a lot befier. Is there a reason you can't do that?
MR. ENGLISH: Well, here's my thinking is, we'll - we can do the best we can do. I don't: not having
the - being able to work on it in front of me with the architect, it would be hard for me to commit to a certain
distance, but we can try to go as far as we can, still have the truck access, still have the parking we need back
there, et cetera.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: All I'm suggesting is if you can -- you've got that dark area that you're now
looking at to be in alignment with the service and refuse area that we originally thought it was going to be. The
dumpster enclosures are l0 feet deep. So ifyou had about -- if you were provided some flexibility to go within
40 feet ofthe rear ofthe service and refuse area as shown on the original plan, that would give you some
flexibility to put it, it looks like, in the area you're talking about now, but you'd be a little bit further back than
way up front by the main roadway. Is that that hard to do? And, Richard, you're looking -
MR. YOVANOVICH: I'm just trying to -- I go back to it's not like garbage trucks come every day.
And I have a hard time believing that a 20- or 30-foot difference in between where we think it works best for the
plan and getting another 20 or 30 feet is going to make a lot ofdifference from the sound generated from a
dumpster truck dumping the stuff and the backup signal that occurs to have us have to come to that level of a
commitment at this point in time for a not-for-profit organization trying to bring good services to the people of
Immokalee.
So I would like us to be able to have the flexibility we've shown. It's not like it's going to happen every
day at 6:00 a.m. or multiple times in the day. They are enclosed, and we would like to have the flexibility of
putting it where -- John, where's your --
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Well, that's the question. You want the flexibility of what you showed us at
the last Planning Commission meeting, or you want the flexibility of what you're showing us now? Because the
refuse area's different in both plans.
MR. YOVANOVICH: What we're showing you right now is the flexibility we would like to have in
those two locations. I think we're only going to have one. It will be an either/or, but that's the flexibility we
would like to have.
Ifyou ask the architect, he'd want to have what was on the plan that was originally shown, which was at
kind ofthe end ofthe driveway in. We understand that that's probably a nonstarter.
So we'd like to - I think that is a -- this is fair plan and a good plan for the services that we're providing to
the community and with minimal impact to our neighbors.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Questions? Karl, then Ned.
COMMISSIONER FRY: Just curious, how often does -- would a trash truck come to this location?
Page 14 of 18
December 19, 2019
MR. ENCLISH: [t's not an engineering question, but my experience is this is going to be a -MR. YOVANOVICH: Twice a week.
MR. ENGLISH: -- two times a week thing.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Yeah. I think they're just like the rest of us. We get service twice a week.
MR. ENGLISH: Which is a good point. The residents here all are getting their trash picked up twice a
week, and instead ofhearing it only once, they get to hear it as the truck goes up and down both sides ofthe road
they live on. And it's going to happen somewhat on a frequency not all that unsimilar to lawn maintenance
where you hear lawnmowers.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Leaf blowers.
MR. ENGLISH: Leafblowers.
So I appreciate -- we always want to be good neighbors and, obviously, Guadalupe is trying to be an
amazing presence in Immokalee. But we're right around 75 feet setback from a property line that has a Type B
buffer and a fence. We're talking about something that everybodyis having: Trash pickup. Same - similar
frequency.
I just - I would -- I'm struggle here trying to identif a specific place we're trying to push this thing back
in when I think you can understand we weren't that far with the building design. We've got a really good
concept, but you can see we hadn't got down to nuts and bolts time yet.
And so I'm just - I'm really, on behalfofmy client, trying not to get, you know, set on a distance that's
going to be very difficult for them later.
COMMISSIONER FRY: I would - I mean, I remember seeing an arrow to a point that said, you know,
service and refuse area, so I think -- you know, I was kind of prepared there would be dumpsters somewhere in
that area. In an ideal world, that probably would not be immediately adjacent to that neighborhood, but we
did - we did approve the plan, basically, with -- knowing that it was in that general area.
Personally -- I'm not sure -- I'm not an engineer in terms ofthe sound travel, but would -- 30 or 40 extra
feet, would it help it? Would it make a significant difference? The clanging of a dumpster is loud, and I think it
travels an extra 30 feet at almost the same volume as it would travel 30 less feet, and on the backing up sound,
that sound travels for blocks.
MR. YOVANOVICH: And that's what I was trying to say. I don,t know that the 30 feet,s going to
make a real difference on those types ofnoises.
COMMISSIONER FRY: Well, it also might echo. If it's between the buildings, you can also get a little
bit ofan echo effect offofthe buildings. So I don't know. You know, my opinion if- the real issue would have
been, you know, is that a good place for that service and refuse area? But that's - that would require replanning
or redesigning the whole facility to put it in a different area, and I can't see that as being practical.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Ned.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: The westem boundary is a soft buffer; vegetation. Would there - would it
be possible to harden at least part ofthat with a wall?
MR. ENGLISH: Well, you've got a not-for-profit trying to build something in Immokalee, and we're
asking them to spend -- you know, walls are not cheap.
MR. YOVANOVICH: And I don't -- honestly, I don't think you're going to get a real bang for the buck
for putting, you know, a six-foot-tall wall there.
MR. ENGLISH: The problem is sound's going to travel over it.
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Excuse me. To build a wall to reflect sound, you have to build awall either very close to the source of the sound, oryouhaveto build itveryhigh. The farther you are away, thehigher the wall has to be to reflect the noise back, so...
COMMISSIONER FRyER: All right. Well, that answers my question. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Are we done with discussion? Sran.
COMMISSToNER CHRZANOWSKI: Just one comment about the lake. Maybe 20 years ago
somebody from the Planning Department decided we should not have regular-shaped lales. Tirey were from upnofth where you do an impound and you have a lake that follows the ban-k ofthe river. And they decide that we
Page 15 of 18
December 19,2019
shouldn't have lakes that are square or circle. So they wrote something into the ordinance saying you're not
allowed to put a straight bank on a lake.
I don't know if that ever was done away with. I argued against it at the time because it just makes no
sense, because most of ours lakes down here -- the natural lakes are sinkhole lakes, and they're perfect circles.
So if that exists, I want -- I have no problem with the shape of this lake right now, and I would like it part
of the record that when we approve this drawing, we're approving the shape of the lake.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Oh, I don't want to lock them into that. Stan, what do we care?
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Well, that they can use a straight line in this instance rather than
that scalloped edge.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: But, Stan, that's a deviation, which you don't do those during conditional uses.
So they need a variance then. So I'd rather not dive into restricting them on things that we normally don't. They
can go to the code and leave that flexibility for them. Because if you start looking at that as the potential
deviation to the code, it can't be on a conditional-use process. We're going to have to do it by variance.
You guys want to go through a variance?
MR. ENGLISH: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: I didn't think so. Let's just leave it.
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Okay. I withdraw.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Well, right now, then, is there -- are we done with our discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Is there any public speakers? Anybody in the public wish to speak on this
item?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Okay. Let's just close the public hearing. Is there a motion to either accept
this as the plan that goes forward to the Board of County Commissioners or an alternative?
COMMISSIONER FRY: Move to approve.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Second.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Motion made and seconded. Discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: All those -- signifu by saying aye.
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Aye.
COMMISSIONER FRY: Aye.
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Aye.
CHAIRMAN STRAN: Aye.
COMMISSIONERHOMIAK: Aye.
COMMISSIONERSCHMITT: Aye.
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Anybody opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Motion carries 7-0.
Thank you.
MR. ENGLISH: Thank you.
MR. YOVANOVICH: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Staff, Ray, would you please make sure that from now on when staff brings a
plan forward that has a layout that requires dumpsters, the specific location of the dumpsters is shown, not just the
general location.
MR. BELLOWS: Yes. We usually make these moments a teachable moment for the rest of the staff, so
this will be an item of discussion.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: It cost these folks having to come back, and I would rather that not have
happened. We could have handled it all at the original meeting, so...
Page 16 of 18
December 19,2019
MR. BELLOWS: Yes.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Thank you. That will take us to the most important item on the agenda. Is
there any public comments?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: The second most important item on the agenda: Is there a motion to adjourn?
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN: So moved.
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Could I ask something first?
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Hold on that, Patrick?
Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Ray, that LiDAR that you sent out for this Guadalupe Center,
you're going to do that for every project from now on, right?
MR. BELLOWS: That was the direction at the last Planning Commission meeting. So when you
request it, we'll send it to all the other commissioners.
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: The reason I sent out that expanded LiDAR of all of Immokalee
was because when they cut that LiDAR off, I had some questions about that depressed area off to the southern
end, and you could see where the swale went down.
So if they could maybe go a little farther with the limits of -- we generally used to do a zoom-in of the site
itself and then a zoom-out of the neighborhood, and I assume this is the zoom-out of the neighborhood. It just
didn't go far enough to answer questions. So, you know, if you could, ask that they just run it a little farther
maybe depending on how flat the ground is. They can use their judgment. I'll settle for that.
MR. BELLOWS: I'll bring it to their attention.
COMMISSIONER CHRZANOWSKI: Okay, thanks. That's it.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Now is there a motion to adjoum, Patrick? You're not going to make one now?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: We're just sit here all day?
Go ahead, Ned. Do you want to make a motion?
COMMISSIONER FRYER: Move to adjourn.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Second? Joe?
COMMISSIONERSCHMITT: Yep.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: All in favor, signif, by saying aye.
COMMISSIONERCHRZANOWSKI: Ave.
COMMISSIONER FRY: Aye.
COMMISSIONERFRYER: Aye.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: Aye.
COMMISSIONERHOMIAK: Aye.
COMMISSIONER SCHMITT: Aye.
COMMISSIONER DEARBORN: Aye.
CHAIRMAN STRAIN: We're out of here. Thank you.
Merry Christmas, everyone, and have a good holiday and New year,s.
And, Karl, I hope to see you at the right time at the next meeting.
