CHAIRMAN COYLE: Ladies and gentlemen, the Board of
County Commissioners' meeting is in session to consider Growth
Management Plan amendments.
Would you please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
(The Pledge of Allegiance was recited in unison.)
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Mr. Weeks?
MR. WEEKS: Good morning, Commissioners. F or the record,
I'm David Weeks of the Comprehensive Planning section for the
county.
Commissioners, you have two, broadly speaking, two items on
your agenda today. One being the Growth Management Plan
amendments, the other being the Settlement Agreement for Section 24,
which was continued from your June 23rd meeting.
And at this time I would ask that the commission continue that
item indefinitely.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Do you need a motion?
MR. WEEKS: Please.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: So moved.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Second.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: A motion to continue indefinitely by
Commissioner Coletta, second by Commissioner Halas.
Any discussion?
All in favor, please signify by saying aye.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Aye.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Aye.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Aye.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Any opposed, by like sign?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN COYLE: It passes unanimously.
MR. WEEKS: Thank you. And by being continued indefinitely,
that item will have to be readvertised before it comes back before the
board.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Then that leaves us only with one
item, right?
MR. WEEKS: One four-part item, yes.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Yes, okay.
MR. WEEKS: I would like to point out next that Item 3E on your
agenda, which is petition CP-2009-1, a request to amend the Future
Land Use Element and Future Land Use Map to create the Dade/Collier
Cypress Recreation Area District within the conservation designation
for property located along the Miami-Dade County boarder, that is what
is commonly referred to as the jetport, that petition has been withdrawn.
It is anticipated that will be resubmitted at some point in the future,
but it is withdrawn. It will not be discussed today.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay.
MR. WEEKS: Commissioners, I need to make some introductory
remarks --
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Can I ask who withdrew it? Who
withdrew it?
MR. WEEKS: The applicant, Miami-Dade County.
Just to get us focused here, we are going to be discussing Growth
Management Plan amendments, and specifically this is the adoption
hearing. You previously saw these petitions and others at transmittal
hearings earlier this year.
This is a legislative action, not quasijudicial, so there is no
requirement, that is, it is at your discretion whether to swear in
participants or offer notice of ex parte communications.
There is a sign-up sheet on (sic) the hallway outside these
chambers for persons that wish to be notified by the Florida Department
of Community Affairs of their notice of intent to find the amendments
that you adopt today in compliance or not in compliance with state law.
That is a statutory requirement. Again, that sign-up sheet is in the
hallway outside these chambers.
Commissioners, as always, after the conclusion ofthis hearing,
staffwould like to collect your binders and reuse them to send to the
state and regional agencies as part of the adoption process.
I would point out that you have a total offour petitions on today's
agenda, three of which are private sector petitions. The Planning
Commission has reviewed all four of these and unanimously
recommended approval of each of those four.
Three of the petitions, that is all of the private sector petitions, have
had some modifications since you saw them at transmittal hearings.
The Planning Commission, as I mentioned, recommended
approval ofthose. There's one petition that has also been changed a
little bit since the Planning Commission recommendation. That is
noted in your executive summary. And when we get to that item
specifically, either staff or the petitioner will bring that to your attention.
That is petition CP-2008-2. That is the property located along
Randall Boulevard at Immokalee Road.
And on that note, Item 4 on your agenda -- so I did misspeak
earlier. You do have a total of five items, Commissioner, or three,
depending on how you look at it.
There's a companion developer distribution agreement, and it is a
companion to petition CP-2008-2 there at Randall and Immokalee, and
would suggest that those be discussed concurrently, but they would
need to be voted on separately.
I have one minor correction in the executive summary. It is on
Page 3. Staff simply misstated a square footage figure, and it's for
petition CP-2008-2 in the petition title. The executive summary states
that this petition is to allow an additional370,950 square feet. That
should be 360,950 square feet. And I will tell you that the Exhibit A to
the ordinance for that petition does list the correct square footage figure.
Finally, on a more general note, as is mentioned in the executive
summary -- Commissioner Fiala, back to the transmittal hearing you
had asked staff to provide a map identifying the Comprehensive Plan
amendments so that they could be considered in full context, and you
had referred to, I believe, not just the present petitions but also prior
petitions, and that is provided in your executive summary.
There's a spreadsheet that identifies the petitions, those that have
been approved, those that are pending, including those on today's
agenda, and then there's a map identifying the locations of those for
your consideration.
Staff made a cutoff of 2007. If we were to go back much farther,
the map just gets too busy and, I think, would have little value. So that
is there, and hopefully it's some benefit to you.
And Mr. Chairman, with that, we're ready to move into the
individual petitions.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, let's start. What I would be most
interested in as we go through these petitions is any substantive change
that has occurred since the last time we saw these and, secondly, I'd like
a specific comment on any variance or disagreement that we might have
had with the ORC Report, okay.
MR. WEEKS: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for the second
comment in particular, because I failed to mention that specifically.
Because this body has previously transmitted these petitions, they have
been sent to the Florida Department of Community Affairs and other
state and regional agencies for their review, their preliminary review,
for compliance with state statutes, and they have, the DCA, has
rendered its Objections, Recommendations, and Comments Report,
what we commonly refer to as an ORC Report.
And the -- each of the three private sector petitions had some
comment in some fashion, but most particularly two of them did have
objections raised, and the applicants have responded to the objections.
And we believe, based on our staffs working with the applicants and
our verbal communications with DCA, that all of the objections are
overcome.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Good, good. Thank you very much,
David.
Then let's start with the first petition.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Commissioner, may I --
CHAIRMAN COYLE: I'm sorry. Commissioner Fiala?
COMMISSIONER FIALA: The county attorney pointed out to
us that each one ofthese needs a four vote, and there are only four of us
here, and I think that that should be on the record as well.
MR. WEEKS: That's correct. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: ***Okay. Is the first one yours, Mr.
Y ovanovich?
MR. YOV ANOVICH: Yes, sir, and good morning. For the
record, Rich Y ovanovich on behalf of the petitioner. Bob Duane's here
to answer any questions.
The only change -- this is for the Mission subdistrict, which was
for Emmanuel Lutheran Church. It's for church and church-related
facilities on Oil Well Road. You all--
MR. WEEKS: Mr. Chairman, should I read that title into the
record? We typically do.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: It would be a good idea.
MR. WEEKS: Thank you.
Sorry, Rich.
This first item is agenda Item 3A, petition CP-2007-3, petition
requesting an amendment to the Golden Gate Area Master Plan and
Golden Gate Area Master Plan Future Land Use Map and Map Series to
create the Mission subdistrict to allow church and related uses,
including schools, adult care, and childcare and community outreach
with the maximum of90,000 square feet of total development for
property located on the south side of Oil Well Road, one-quarter mile
west of Everglades Boulevard in Section 19, Township 48 south, Range
28 east, consisting of approximately 21.72 acres.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Thank you. And the BCC
obviously approved this or, otherwise, it wouldn't have been forwarded.
MR. YOV ANOVICH: Unanimously.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Yeah. And once again, I just want to
make absolutely sure that there is -- there is no conflict between
this -- this particular version of this petition and the ORC Report. Is
that a fair statement?
MR. YOV ANOVICH: Yes.
MR. WEEKS: There is none. There's no conflict.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Is there any reason we shouldn't
approve it under those circumstances, Commissioners?
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Motion to approve.
MR. KLATZKOW: Do you have any public speakers on this,
David?
MR. WEEKS: We do not.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. A motion to approve by
Commissioner Coletta.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Second.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Second by Commissioner Fiala.
All in favor, please signify by saying aye.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Aye.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Aye.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Aye.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Any opposed, by like sign?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN COYLE: It is approved unanimously. Thank you
very much.
MR. WEEKS: ***Commissioners, your next item is petition
CP-2008-2, petition requesting an amendment to the Golden Gate Area
Master Plan and Golden Gate Area Future Land Use Map and Map
Series to expand and modify the Randall Boulevard commercial
subdistrict to allow an additional development intensity not to exceed
360,950 square feet of commercial uses ofthe C4 zoning district with
exceptions for property located on the south side of Randall Boulevard
extending from 8th Street Northeast, west to the canal on the west side
of the Big Corkscrew Island Fire Station in Sections 26 and 27,
Township 48 south, Range 27 east, consisting of approximately
56-and-a-half acres.
And Commissioners, you do have some registered speakers for
this item.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. How many speakers do we have?
MR. WEEKS: Looks like six.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Six, okay.
Mr. Anderson, if you'd like to make a brief presentation.
MR. ANDERSON: Yes, sir, thank you.
My name is Bruce Anderson from the Roetzel & Andress Law
Firm, and with me today is the principal ofthe Emergent Development
Group, Mr. Jack Sullivan. Also with me is Tim Hancock, the director
of planning for Davidson Engineering.
You will probably recall this application from your prior hearing.
It enjoys widespread community support.
The Department of Community Affairs raised two objections to
this amendment. The first objection was to the original language
which referred to allowing uses that are permitted in the C4 district.
Their concern was that the language would allow for a self-amending
Comprehensive Plan.
Their thinking is that ifthe County Commission later decided to
amend the C4 zoning district to allow additional uses, that that would
have the effect of allowing those uses automatically in the Randall
Boulevard subdistrict.
So we held conversations with DCA and with your staff, and we
have resolved that by tying the C4 uses to those that are in existence
today. We used that in a similar fashion on another subdistrict in the
Golden Gate Master Plan.
Their second objection concerned transportation planning. Their
concern has been addressed by adding project phasing language tied to
the improvements of Randall Boulevard. There is adequate capacity
there today to accommodate Phase I of the project, which is limited to
100,000 square feet.
There is additional language that was added after the Planning
Commission by your staff with the agreement of my client, and that's
featured in your executive summary. That will allow Phase II to move
forward once there is sufficient capacity on Randall Boulevard to do so.
The other substantive change to the amendment text is that my
client has agreed to -- that a grocery store anchor of at least 35,000
square feet would be included in the Phase I portion ofthe project.
You have a companion item which is a developer contribution
agreement. It was being negotiated at the time of your transmittal.
Under the broad parameters ofthat agreement, my client is donating
right-of-way without impact fee credits for the eventual six-laning of
Randall Boulevard.
Under the DCA, both the fire station and the forestry service
building on the county's property will be moved, and those two essential
service agencies will collocate on the eastern corner of 8th Street and
Randall Boulevard, where a traffic signal is eventually planned to go.
That relocation will be at the sole expense of my client and another
property owner, and that includes the cost of rezoning the property,
getting SDP approval, and providing site improvements.
At the outset, my client set out to create a win-win-win situation
for the county, the neighbors in the community, and through that
petition and the DCA that we have before you, we believe we've
accomplished that.
We thank you for your consideration.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you very much.
Commissioner Coletta?
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: I'm sorry. Sir, could you -- I
could wait until after the speakers, if you don't mind.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: But I do want to speak after that.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Who are the speakers? Could
you stand, please, for me? Is there anyone here who objects to this
petition? Okay. There is one person who objects. Okay. Then we
will call the speakers in order. Thank you.
MR. WEEKS: First is James Siesky, who will be followed by
Karen Acquard.
MR. SIESKY: Good morning, Commissioners. My name is Jim
Siesky ofthe law firm ofSiesky, Pilon, and Potter. I'm here on behalf
ofUrika Oil, Inc., and its president, Francisco Colasso, who's with me.
We didn't want to be here to object today, and it's really not our
desire to object, but we're really left with no alternative.
We were approached by Mr. Sullivan, I guess, in June of2008. In
April of 2009 we entered into an agreement where we would participate
in the Randall Boulevard subdistrict along with his proposal.
Backing up a little bit. Urika Oil owns the existing gas station and
convenience store that's at the corner of Randall and Immokalee Road.
Our primary concern from the very beginning has been access,
because access to the station is crucial to my client's business.
We've had meetings with your county Transportation Department
and Mr. Sullivan and his staff. Unfortunately it seems that there's no
alternative that will give my client reasonable access to his property
___.__..._..~.<..____."__~~"._"_.o"..__..____
once development goes forward here.
Your staff, your transportation staff, and I have no objection with
their concept, because we've hired our own traffic engineer, and he
couldn't come up with anything better. He says that the county staff
wants a direct route going west or -- excuse me -- east on Immokalee
Road, and it would join with Randall. Perfectly reasonable. The only
problem is, we have a right-in, right-out.
The access, if you're coming from the west, either on Randall or on
Immokalee Road, is that you're going to have to take an out-of-the-way
mile trip to get to my client's property and back to your intended route
which, as you know, is going to just severely damage his business.
We've explored other alternatives, even consulted with an eminent
domain attorney. That's probably not a reasonable solution because the
county probably has the ability to do what it intends to do without any
compensation to my client.
We've consulted an appraiser to see whether or not this change in
use would be of a significant value for my client. It will not.
We've tried to negotiate some sort of an arrangement with Mr.
Sullivan for an exchange of property or other possibilities. That was
not successful.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: That's your time limit. But, please, we
want to understand the problem thoroughly, so if you could summaries
quickly, we'll grant you additional time.
MR. SIESKY: Thank you, sir.
The problem is the construction of the road. This development will
necessitate construction of that road sooner. From my client's point of
view, the longer that the construction ofthat road can be delayed, the
better his business will be. And he has --
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Well, we're good at that.
MR. SIESKY: He has provided a service to this community over
the years. He's been there since 1996. There's a convenience store, a
fast-food restaurant, a bank, and a gasoline station there. And we would
request whatever help you can give us.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay.
MR. SIESKY: Thank you very much.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you. Thank you.
MR. WEEKS: Karen Acquard, to be followed by Pat Humphries.
MS. ACQUARD: Good morning, Commissioners. For the
record, it's Karen Acquard.
Our home is directly behind this proposed center. As before, I'm
speaking on behalf of myself, my husband, and a majority of the
homeowners whose property is adjacent to this proposed development.
We are in favor of it. This is the first developer who has come
along who has given us, in writing, promises that would protect us from
the noise and the dirt and so on from the six lanes.
I also happen to have served on the last Golden Gate Master Plan
Restudy Committee and -- from its inception to its sunset. I missed two
meetings in two years, and we met every other Wednesday.
This center meets the intent ofthat master plan because it is on the
periphery ofthe Estates. The location is such that Emergent can attract
the primary stores and businesses.
Being involved in Estates things for many years, I have learned
that the one thing that big businesses insist on is rooftop demographics.
You can set them on a corner, and they can count all the cars that go past
a site and say, oh, my God, and they have no place else to go, and you
take it to corporate headquarters and they go, we can't count enough
rooftops. That's why it took us ten years to get a scale-down
Walgreen's on one corner.
This has Waterways, Orangetree, Valencia Lakes, and Citrus
Green rooftops. The big businesses can count the rooftops they want,
and they should be happy to bring their stores there.
Emergent is working with the residents to -- and has pledged to
continue to get our input to bring us the design we like and stores that
we would -- we want. We feel what -- ifthere's going to be
commercial, we want quality commercial, and they are committed to
bringing that out there.
And finally, I want to point out to all of you what a shot in the arm
this center could be to the economy out in our area. It will provide jobs
in road construction, it will provide jobs in building construction, and
when it's completed, you're talking hundreds of jobs in the stores,
offices, and restaurants there.
I urge you to approve this change because by doing so you can
have a home run, a touchdown, and a checkered flag all in one for us.
Thank you.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you.
MR. WEEKS: Pat Humphries, to be followed by Vahan
Nazarian.
MS. HUMPHRIES: Good morning. My name is Pat
Humphries. I'm a resident of Golden Gate Estates, a former board of
director for the Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association, present
board of director for the homeowners' association for the Golden Gate
Estates, Estates Land Trust Committee member, and a volunteer for the
Shy Wolf Sanctuary. Today I am speaking for myself.
In 1992 I moved to Golden Gate Estates. Shortly thereafter, I heard
a rumor that there was going to be a Winn Dixie on Immokalee Road in
front of Orangetree. It didn't happen.
In 1999, a developer made a presentation to the Estates Civic
Association promising a Publix. It didn't happen.
Now, finally we have a commitment for a shopping center with a
quality grocery store in the right place and the right time and about time.
I enthusiastically support this project because it is compatible with
the Golden Gate Area Master Plan and will serve the residents of the
Estates without impacting the rural character. I am confident that
Emergent will build a facility that will satisfy the community both
aesthetically and commercially. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you.
MR. WEEKS: Mr. Vahan Nazarian, to be followed by Frank
Alameda.
MR. NAZARIAN: Good morning, Commissioners.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Good morning.
MR. NAZARIAN: My name is Vahan Nazarian, as the person
just said, and I live at Valencia Golf and Country Club development.
And I just want to lend my voice in support of the Randall
Boulevard shopping plaza. And it's going to provide a shopping
facility that's convenient and is sorely needed for our area.
Thank you very much.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you.
MR. WEEKS: Mr. Chairman, I think it appropriate, and I hope
you agree, that I should point out that both Mr. Nazarian and the next
speaker, Frank Olmeda, have signed up as representing the petitioner,
Emergent Development, just for the record.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, thank you.
MR. WEEKS: And the final speaker after Mr. Olmeda would be
Paul Unsworth.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay.
MR. OLMEDA: Good morning, Commissioners.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Good morning.
MR. OLMEDA: My name is Frank Olmeda. I live at the
Valencia Golf and Country Club. My wife and I are in full support of
this proposed development, and we encourage the commissioners to
support and vote for -- in favor and vote yes.
Thank you.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Thank you.
MR. WEEKS: And again, the last speaker, Paul Unsworth.
MR. UNSWORTH: Hi. My name's Paul Unsworth. I'm a
resident of Valencia Lakes. I'm also the chairman ofthe advisory
committee to the developer of Valencia Lakes. I've been in contact
with the developer and various residents within the community,
Valencia Lakes community, that is, and I wholly -- wholeheartedly
support the development.
The developer has assured us and our committee that we would be
involved with the design and planning aspects of it so it doesn't impact
our community. It's something we really need out there. Granted, the
nearest shopping center is five-plus miles.
Just wanted to lend my support for this project. And there's others
in our community as well that feel the same way. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Thank you very much.
Commissioner Coletta?
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Yes. Thank you, sir.
Mr. Anderson, if I may, a couple of questions. You know, the only
objection we had -- and I mean, it's for good reasons. When anybody
has a business and they've had it for a number of years and they've put
themselves into it and they feel threatened by what's happening with
progress -- I mean, whether you went there or not, eventually the road's
going to be four or six laned, and the same scenario of events is going to
take place and the same problem we're having with E-Grocery stores,
the one on Immokalee Road and the one on Golden Gate Boulevard,
access can't be traditionally held when you go from a two-lane road to a
four- to a six-lane road; however, as has been pointed out, that when this
project comes, it's going to force the road to happen that much sooner,
which -- I'm sorry. Would you elaborate on that a little bit.
MR. ANDERSON: I'll defer to Mr. Casalanguida.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Oh, okay.
Nick, we're calling on your expertise.
MR. KLATZKOW: Hot potato.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: This is called passing the buck.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Yeah, don't go too far, Mr.
Anderson. I'm not through with you yet.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Typicallawyer.
MR. CASALANGUIDA: He only passed 25 cents, so we can get
him on the way out, if you don't mind.
For the record, Nick Casalanguida with Growth Management
Services.
The road is not presently deficient and it would accommodate up to
100,000 square feet right now. Because this is a Growth Management
Plan amendment and there's a rezone to follow sooner, there is nothing
programmed for that road to go into construction at this time within the
five-year work program.
So approving a Compo Plan amendment at an intersection we've
already defined as a critical intersection will not cause us to build that
road faster per se.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: And am I correct in assuming,
too, that if they put the supermarket in place -- which, by the way, Mr.
Anderson, thank you for picking up on my suggestion for including that
as the starting point for your project.
The inclusion of that grocery store will not cause the automatic
improvements to the intersection requiring them?
MR. CASALANGUIDA: No, sir.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: So in other words, they could go
through with the first phase of it. So we're probably looking at a time
frame of five-years-plus; is that correct?
MR. CASALANGUIDA: You know, I hate to put a time frame
on it. You know, we'd have to wait and see when the funding was
available and the demand that came online.
I think one important note is the developer and his attorney -- and
Francisco is a nice guy. I met with him many times. They reviewed
our design and said they couldn't find anything better. I mean, that is
eventually what we're going to build when we expand that roadway.
We'll work with them and try and do what we can, but our design is
not affected, per se, by this development. It's affected by the design of
that road and the function of the roadway itself.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Okay. Thank you very much,
Nick.
Question, again, for Mr. Anderson.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Don't go away, Nick.
MR. CASALANGUIDA: Okay.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Yeah. Mr. Anderson, is there
any intentions of this development including another gas station and
convenience store within its -- its planned development?
MR. ANDERSON: No.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: So in other words, you wouldn't
be competing in any way at some point in time when you do reach that
critical point? I mean, of course the grocery store, I imagine, would be
of some competition for a convenience store. But in reality, it's going to
about stay the same.
Okay. Well, I appreciate that, but I do have another question, too.
We were talking about the -- the compatibility of this and the possibility
that there's the concern over commercialization of the area and the
carrying capacity for yourself and other developments that have
previously been approved and possible new developments that may
come down beforehand.
I understand your client has done a study on this; is that correct?
MR. ANDERSON: That's correct.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Would you share that with us at
this time?
MR. ANDERSON: Yes. It was submitted to your staff, and it
finds that there is sufficient need for what exists and what is proposed
both with our petition and another one that the commission chose not to
transmit.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Okay. And just one last thing
I'd like to add. I think this is a wonderful project that's got the support
of the community over and above what you normally see, and I
commend you for bringing everybody together on this.
I'd like to correct one thing. We had reference about the master
plan and reference about the peripheral (sic) ofthe master plan. And
there's no references in the master plan regarding on the peripheral. It
may have taken place in discussions, but it never became part of the
master plan, and I just wanted to correct that for the record. Other than
that, this project's got my total support.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Commissioner Halas?
COMMISSIONER HALAS: In the summary of this, originally it
said that the Planning Commission had turned this down.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: No.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: I thought it did, staff
recommendation. Okay. I thought it was --
MR. ANDERSON: It was approved at transmittal and at
adoption.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Okay. And then there was some
changes that were made, is that correct, to the wording of this
document?
MR. ANDERSON: Yes, sir, yes, sir. At the very last sentence
under the transportation mitigation section, it would read that neither the
building permit limitations nor the certificates of occupancy limitations
shall apply if satisfactory alternative mitigation is approved by the
Board of County Commissioners pursuant to Transportation Element
Policy 5.1, or if traffic conditions change in such a manner that adequate
capacity is available.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Okay, okay.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Commissioner Fiala -- oh, I'm sorry. Go
ahead.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: I have one more questions. This is
for Nick.
Do you have a pictorial of the proposed transportation in regards to
the gentleman that is representing the gas station there?
MR. CASALANGUIDA: Yes, sir, I do. North is this way up on
the viewer.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Yep.
MR. CASALANGUIDA: This is Immokalee Road as it currently
exists, and then you have that T intersection that comes down. And
right now there's a reverse frontage road that takes you back into this
site, which is the gas station site that currently exists, the shopping
center site that exists, and the fire station site that exists.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Oh, okay. Got it now. I see.
MR. CASALANGUIDA: What the county designed and is part
of their process was to put a pond site on this vacant parcel, which is part
of Emergent Development, whereas now Emergent Development has
come forward and said, we will build the water management system.
So the design coming offwould be a free-flow ramp that would
continue on, and then you would peel off and come back into the site
and then come back around and go out and continue on. And this is the
design that was presented to the property owner and reviewed by their
traffic engineer that said that is the most feasible way of providing
access to the property in the future condition.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Now, can you explain -- they said
in regards to this that they'd have to go a mile out ofthe way before
they --
MR. CASALANGUIDA: I think they're referencing their left
bound access.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Southbound, southbound traffic on
Immokalee.
MR. CASALANGUIDA: Well, to come in, coming from
westbound, since there's no direct way to come in, you would have to go
down Immokalee, make a U-turn and then come back around and then
come in. And quite frankly, Commissioners, intersections are the worst
place to provide access for.
Now, keep in mind, you're seeing right now a stop. In the future
condition this becomes a flyover and comes down.
Immokalee/Randall becomes your -- one of the most highest
volume intersections there is. You have Ave Maria, Big Cypress,
potentially the lab we talked about, Serenoa Development, and
everything that goes on. We're trying to make this a free-flow
intersection as much as we can.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: The intersection you presently
have, that's dangerous, very dangerous.
MR. CASALANGUIDA: It is, sir, because you, currently right
now, have an access point that peels off this way and comes in to serve
them, and it backs up in the morning past that.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Okay.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Commissioner Fiala?
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Well, my questions have been
answered. Between Commissioner Halas and Commissioner Coletta,
I've got them all answered. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: I'd like for you to get more specific about
when this is likely to happen. You said it's not in the five-year plan
now?
MR. CASALANGUIDA: Correct, sir. The only thing we have
now is similar to what we've done at Immokalee and Collier where
Commissioner Coletta and I had worked with the developer there, is you
just -- you're planning and designing and acquiring little bits of
right-of-way in preparation of doing the ultimate project when you
move forward.
There's nothing in the five-year CIE other than the county doing
the preliminary design, any preliminary permitting with the developer
as we prepare for this project.
We anticipated probably a year ago that Big Cypress was going to
move forward. They had the DRI, and they suspended it. This would
have been an intersection that probably would have been funded by that
DRI.
Now we're at a point where we don't anticipate anything coming
forward that would drive the construction of that intersection.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: So it's definitely not going to happen in
five years?
MR. CASALANGUIDA: Sir, I think you know our funding, sir.
There's nothing in our five-year CIE, and our funding is looking bleaker
going into fiscal year' 12 than it is -- than it is right now.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Does that help you any at all?
MR. SIESKY: Thank you, Commissioner. It gives some
comfort. But in speaking with Mr. Casalong- -- Casaluingda?
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Casalanguida. Isn't that a
wonderful name?
MR. SIESKY: Casalanguida? I love the name. It's harder than
Siesky.
He indicated to us that the five-year plan is revisited every year.
So with development here and other development, it is possible that
next year it could be in the five-year plan; is that not true?
MR. CASALANGUIDA: It's always possible that Big Cypress
comes back on line and we have a large development that says, I want to
fund this intersection in order to proceed, and I can't -- I can only
speculate when that would happen, but I know you know the
environment right now. There is nothing programmed and nothing
really on the horizon that would drive that intersection.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: The chances are, if it came into the
five-year program, it would be in the fifth year ofthe five-year program.
MR. SIESKY : We can only hope.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Yeah. I don't see anything accelerating
it to the two-year horizon because just the permitting process is going to
take that long.
MR. CASALANGUIDA: Design and permitting will take at least
24 to 36 months, two to three years, yeah.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: So I think your chances are this is going
to be a while, but I don't know of a -- I don't see a long-term solution for
you here, which is unfortunate.
MR. SIESKY: Right, thank you.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay, sure. Okay.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Motion to approve.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: That was the last public speaker?
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Second.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: We have a motion for approval by
Commissioner Coletta, and a second by Commissioner Halas.
And a comment by David Weeks.
MR. WEEKS: Mr. Chairman, there's one issue staff needs to
bring to your attention. It's in the executive summary on Page 5, and
this pertains to the property we were just discussing.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Tract 71.
MR. WEEKS: Tract 71, which is in the striping pattern here. At
one time they were a party to this application, and that changed earlier
this year. They are no longer a party to that application.
One of the changes that the applicant made post-transmittal, that is,
leading up to these adoption hearings, was simply to remove that
property from their proposed changes and expansion to the petition.
(Commissioner Henning is now present via speakerphone.)
MR. WEEKS: That is, the subject -- the Tract 71 is already in the
existing Randall Boulevard subdistrict, but no longer being a party to
this application, then they would keep the same uses they're approved
for today. That is, ifthis application is approved as requested, there
would be no change in use for Tract 71, and that is appropriately so.
The applicant had just left them alone. They made no changes to their
status. They did not change their development rights.
You might recall several months ago this commission approved an
appeal to a zoning letter relevant to Tract 71 and also the next parcel to
the west. Those are two different PUDs that, together, they comprise
the existing Randall Boulevard subdistrict. The action you took was to
allow C2 uses throughout this existing subdistrict.
So back to Tract 71. By your action, despite what the language
states in the Comprehensive Plan or the PUDs, those properties -- and
we'll focus on Tract 71 again -- are allowed C2 uses.
So as a matter of cleanup to the master plan language, one of your
options would be to change the language for Tract 71 and replace that
existing list of uses with a phrase that would state all C2 uses, because
that is consistent with your prior action on that property.
Staffis further offering an option that you allow all of the same
uses that are being proposed for this whole expanded subdistrict, that is
mostly C4 uses, to also apply to this Tract 71 even though they're no
longer a party to the application.
And our rationale is this: There's some compatibility concern
over the Tract 71 being limited to C2 uses and the rest ofthis new
subdistrict being allowed mostly C4 uses, but it -- an even larger
concern from the staff perspective is, in thinking long term, the potential
for aggregation and redevelopment to occur. And if this Tract 71 is
limited to C2 uses but the properties on both sides of it are allowed C4
type uses, that potentially could preclude the ability for that aggregation
and development.
So to try to boil it down, there's three options that you have. One
is to leave the application as it is, which means if you approve it, Tract
71 will be allowed C2 uses based upon prior board action.
Second option is to specifically change the language for Tract 71 to
specifically say C2 uses are allowed. That's the cleanup part. Neither
of those two actions change the development rights ofthat Tract 71.
The third option is to make Tract 71 eligible for all ofthe uses as
they're being proposed for the balance of this subdistrict. That does
increase their development rights. That makes it -- the owner of Tract
71 could then come in and request a modification to their PUD to allow
those C4 uses on the property.
Last comment is, what is the downside to the county? There may
or may not be any, but as Nick was just discussing intersection
improvements, it's possible that some portion of Tract 71 might be
needed to accommodate that future improvement to the intersection,
that is, we might need some land from Tract 71 for right-of-way or
utilities or some of both. And, if we have to purchase the property from
Tract 71, there's the potential that the value ofthat property might have
increased by being allowed C4 uses versus C2.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. I have -- well, Commissioner
Halas has a question, but let me try one first.
Am I to conclude from this that the action that would serve the best
interests ofthe property owners would be the action that would permit
it, Tract 71, to have the same use as allowed elsewhere in this
subdistrict?
MR. WEEKS: I would certainly think so, yes, sir, to allow the
same, yes, SIr.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: And before we make a decision, should
we not talk with the people who own that property to find out what their
preference would be? Have we done that? Do we have any idea what
we're doing to those property owners there?
MR. WEEKS: Staffhas not discussed that with them, and I'm
glad to see that they're here to -- if they wish to speak.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Does the same owner own 71 as
all the --
MR. WEEKS: No, sir, separate.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Do you own the entire Tract 71?
MR. SIESKY: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Could you give us some indication as to
which option you'd like to see us --
MR. KLA TZKOW: May I just interrupt?
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Sure.
MR. KLA TZKOW: David, have we advertised for this?
CHAIRMAN COYLE: That's what's bothering me here.
MR. KLATZKOW: Have we advertised for any ofthis? No,
right?
MR. WEEKS: No. The advertisement is -- no.
MR. KLATZKOW: I don't know how we can go forward with
this.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: No, we can't go forward with this.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Well, at least we can get an idea of what
you would prefer.
MR. SIESKY: Thank you, sir.
Obviously, our first option is to have it turned down. But if it
were approved, I would point out to the commission that the draft
document indicates that it's the intent to promote development in this
area.
I had it highlighted, but I can't find it at the moment. And I don't
think that it's a good idea to have a doughnut hole. I don't -- I think
that's inconsistent with the stated intent of the ordinance, and for that
reason, I would -- if the commission does decide to approve this
application, I would request that the C4 uses be allowed on Tract 71.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Be allowed. Okay, good. Thank you
very much. Now, there's a question about whether or not we can take
action on that today, but at least we understand what your position is, or
your preference at least.
So how do we separate this -- this issue? Do we just have a
separate hearing on Tract 71? Do we have to go through another
Growth Management Plan modification, or how do we do this?
MR. KLATZKOW: Correct me if I'm wrong, David. Originally
they were part of this application. And if they stayed part of the
application, they would get this benefit. They chose to withdraw from
the application, all right.
MR. WEEKS: That's correct.
MR. KLA TZKOW: Okay. So the fact that there's a hole in the
doughnut now is their doing at the end of the day.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Can they -- can they elect to join
the application again?
MR. KLA TZKOW: We haven't advertised.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Oh, okay.
MR. WEEKS: The advertisement is rather general in nature.
The acreage figure still encompassed the subject property, and that was
necessary because it's both a modification of and an expansion of an
existing subdistrict. So we had to include the subject property in that
acreage figure that was in the legal ad.
The square footage figure that is associated with this amendment is
not specific to this Tract 71.
MR. SIESKY: Commissioner, if I just may clarify. Initially
what happened was the developer withdrew this parcel. We didn't
withdraw. Rather than to have authorization for the developer hanging
out after he withdrew us so that he may do something that we weren't
aware of, we withdrew as well.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay.
MR. SIESKY: Just for clarification.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: So County Attorney, you're going to
have to tell us how we can legally proceed here.
MR. KLATZKOW: You know, I hate saying this because it
makes all the sense in the world, but I'm concerned that there may be
legal impediments to doing it this way. And if -- you know, if
everybody here wants to take the chance of a challenge down the road,
I'm okay with that, but I'm saying that you're opening yourselves up to
that challenge.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: How does it impact the petition, your
petitioner, Mr. Anderson?
MR. HANCOCK: Good afternoon, Commissioners.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: You've got a minute.
MR. HANCOCK: Tim Hancock with Davidson Engineering.
One ofthe functional problems is that there is a square footage cap for
additional square footage that is in the language. And ifhe is granted
the C4 uses and comes in to rezone and increases -- requests an increase
in his square footage, it would then eat into the square footage that is a
part ofthe balance of the application. That's the best I can do in 60
seconds.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Wow. This is more complex than it has
to be.
MS. MOSCA: For the record, Michele Mosca, Comprehensive
Planning staff.
Actually the square footage allotment or allocation is specific to
the expansion. The Tract 71 has the existing square feet of roughly
21,000 square feet with no cap on it.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. So am I to understand then if
this -- if 71 were allowed to have the C4 zoning, that the square footage
would not adversely affect the petitioner that we're talking to right now;
is that a fair statement?
MS. MOSCA: I believe that would be a fair statement, correct.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. How can we make -- well, I still
don't know how we proceed under these circumstances.
MR. KLATZKOW: Well, what I'm saying is that -- well, one, I'd
like, you know, Mr. Anderson to say that he's okay with this. What I'm
saying is that if somebody later objects, you've got a problem. If
nobody objects, you have no problem.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Yeah.
MR. KLA TZKOW: So you might be doing the right thing, but
you might be opening everybody up here to a challenge.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Commissioner Halas?
COMMISSIONER HALAS: My concern is, the people that butt
up to this area, there's where the challenge may be, because they may be
happy with C2 but not with C4. So I think -- I think that's a problem,
too.
MS. MOSCA: Commissioner Halas, the entire subdistrict,
excluding Tract 71, would be eligible for C4 uses. So it would be the
single parcel that would be limited to the C2 uses.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: I think what you just said was the same
thing Commissioner Halas said, but I'm not sure. Tract 71 --
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Butts up to residential.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Yeah, yeah. And if they are allowed to
have C4 uses, the residential to the south ofthat project --
COMMISSIONER HALAS: May be opposed to it.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Yeah.
MS. MOSCA: Perhaps.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: So -- and you haven't checked with
them.
MR. WEEKS: But I would point out -- excuse me -- point out that
when this petition was transmitted, approved for transmittal, the original
application did include Tract 71 and it did include C4 uses, and
heretofore, until today, we've not heard any objections to that.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. So the assumption is that it was
previously submitted and identified as part ofthis petition?
MR. WEEKS: That is correct.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: There was no objection to that rezoning,
so logically you would assume that there won't be an objection now.
But it could be a challenge if someone wanted to do that.
What do you think, Mr. Anderson?
MR. ANDERSON: Well, I'm a little uncomfortable because I've
never seen their language, so I'm not sure about the square footage cap.
Also, this language has very specific provisions about architectural
work and participating in that unified architectural theme.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Yeah, yeah.
MR. ANDERSON: We're kind of uncomfortable.
MR. KLA TZKO W: You know, we could table this, sir, so that
everybody can get together and figure out what the ramifications are and
then get back to this.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Well, the problem is, you probably can't
do that today. I would doubt if you'd be able to solve that today. If
you can, that's wonderful. But your next shot is September, and I don't
know if you want to wait that long. So how do we proceed then if this
petitioner wants to go ahead?
MR. KLA TZKOW: It's his application. This is a private
application. Mr. Weeks had suggested a different -- or modification to
it. If Mr. Anderson says he does not want to proceed in this manner, I
don't think he should proceed.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. You're paying for it, right?
MR. ANDERSON : Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: It's your application. How do you want
to go?
MR. ANDERSON: Well, I want approval.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: How bad do you want approval? You
want approval without the changes to Tract 71, is what you're saying?
MR. ANDERSON: That would probably be our preference.
This was kind of last minute, and we weren't consulted about it either.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Now, what do we do to help
Tract 71 owners?
MR. KLA TZKOW: Well, look. I mean --
CHAIRMAN COYLE: I mean, after this -- let's suppose we go
ahead with this and we approve this petition which is, you know, their
petition, and if we approve that petition, what can we do to help Tract 71
owners after that?
MR. WEEKS: Well, Tract 71 owners will still be eligible at their
own initiative to amend their existing PUD to allow all C2 uses, because
right now their PUD is very narrow following the very narrow language
in the Golden Gate Master Plan for their property.
So they -- due to your prior action, if you don't do anything further
for Tract 71 today, you've already made them eligible for all C2 uses.
They can --
CHAIRMAN COYLE: And that's a PUD revision?
MR. WEEKS: That is correct, PUD amendment only.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: GMP -- it's not a GMP modification?
MR. WEEKS: That's correct.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Now, ifthey want to go to C4 --
MR. WEEKS: Then they will need to amend the GMP and their
PUD.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: It becomes more time-consuming and
more expenSIve.
MR. WEEKS: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. All right. There is an
alternative, at least, but I think it's the best we can do under the
circumstances.
MR. WEEKS: Mr. Chairman, if I can say something further
about the option of adding the C2 uses for their property. Again,
because ofthe prior board action, staffhas flagged this subdistrict as a
cleanup change needed to the Golden Gate Master Plan.
As part of the evaluation and appraisal report, which we're working
on right now, we can identify -- if this gets approved today as proposed
by the applicant, staff could identify then in the EAR as an issue Tract
71 uses to be changed to reflect C2. Again, to reflect your own prior
action as a matter of cleanup, because there is the discrepancy of the
language saying, here's your list of 13 uses versus the board's action of
saying you get C2. So we could clean that up and get that part of it
straightened out, and then it's up to the applicant if and when they want
to come in and amend their PUD.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. All right. Okay. Do I hear a
motion --
COMMISSIONER HALAS: You got a motion.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: -- on this particular -- okay.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: And a second.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: And a second. Do we have a vote?
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Not yet. That's next.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: You're going to have to stipulate
exactly -- we're going to have to stipulate that --
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Well, it won't include Tract 71.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: It won't include Tract 71.
MR. WEEKS: I would ask that the motion be to -- I believe that
was the motion, is to approve the petition as requested by the applicant,
and I would say further, as modified in your executive summary, that
one sentence that Bruce read into the record.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Yep, okay.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: I incorporate that in the motion.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: And in my second.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. The motion is to approve the
request by the petitioner to include the modification as stated in our
executive summary concerning Transportation Element Policy 5.1, and
it will not include Tract 71.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Nick looks like he wants to say
something.
MR. CASALANGUIDA: You may have a commissioner on the
phone, but you've got a companion item with this that you may want to
discuss first, and then take action separately but with both ofthem going
forward, because they are tied together.
In other words, if you hear the companion item and you already
motioned to approve this and you don't like the companion item, I just
want to make sure that they're kind of -- they're kind of tied together.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Commissioner Henning, are you
with us?
COMMISSIONER HENNING: I am briefly. I just lost my
charger again, so I'm here until the phone goes dead.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Then we'll -- you're suggesting
then, Nick, that we take a look at the companion item before we vote on
this one?
MR. CASALANGUIDA: I would suggest that you hear the
companion item, and then if you like what you hear, then you vote on
both separately.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: All right, okay. Just as long as
everybody understands that what we're considering on this petition has
nothing to do with Tract 71 at the present time.
MR. CASALANGUIDA: Right.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Yep.
MR. KLA TZKOW: And Commissioners, could I get a motion
from the board that Commissioner Henning may participate by
telephone due to extraordinary circumstances?
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. All who wish to grant approval
for Commissioner Henning to participate by telephone, please say aye.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Aye.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Aye.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Aye.
COMMISSIONER HENNING: (No response.)
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Any opposed?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN COYLE: It's approved unanimously.
MR. KLATZKOW: Thank you, sir.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: All right. Now you're going to tell us
about the companion.
MR. CASALANGUIDA: You've already heard much about it,
Commissioners. The developer's agreed to work with the fire district
and the forestry division, as well as the county EMS, Transportation
Department, to design and incorporate water management into his
development, as well as provide right-of-way.
There is a reduction in buffering on the roadway to allow to
accommodate a little bit of a thinner buffer but with the same plant
material. And another note is that when we come to rezone, that
these -- DCA becomes more refined with the exhibits, because we are
really at a conceptual phase with both the water management system
and the roadway design.
So we had put that language in the DCA that says, prior to rezone,
you'll revisit pretty much the DCA and redefine all these exhibits to be
more accurate with the road project.
Other than that, I'll answer any questions that you have.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Now, I want to make sure there
are no inconsistencies between the companion item and the ORC
Report. No?
MR. WEEKS: No.
MR. CASALANGUIDA: No. The DCA is addressing roadway
deficiencies and compatibility with its neighbors, but not land use.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay.
MR. CASALANGUIDA: Yeah.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: All right. Any questions, comments,
motions from the board?
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Motion to approve.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Motion to approve the
companion item and --
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Do we have to vote on them
separately?
MR. KLATZKOW: No, you can do it at once if you'd like.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: We can do it at one time?
MR. KLATZKOW: Sure.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Okay. And the original motion
I made.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Then we're going to have a vote on the
original motion --
COMMISSIONER HALAS: I'll second that.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: -- which will include the companion item
as just described.
All in favor, please signify by saying aye.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Aye.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Aye.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Aye.
COMMISSIONER HENNING: Aye.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Any opposed, by like sign?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Then it passes unanimously, 5-0.
MR. ANDERSON: Thank you very much.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. I'm wondering if we can finish
this. Can we finish this?
MR. WEEKS: These should go very fast, Commissioners.
MR. NADEAU: Mr. Chairman, Dwight Nadeau, representing the
petitioner. We would like to try and move forward, if we could.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay.
MR. WEEKS: I just want to read it on the record.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Let's move forward.
MR. WEEKS: ***Okay. Next is petition CP-2008-4, petition
requesting an amendment to the Future Land Use Element and Future
Land Use Map and Map Series to redesignate from rural fringe
mixed-use district sending lands to neutral lands, property located on
the east and south sides of Washburn Avenue, East of the Naples
Landfill, in Section 31, Township 49 south, Range 27 east, consisting of
approximately 28.76 acres.
Commissioners, that's the title that has been advertised. I think
Dwight will probably mention to you we've had some changes to the
application as a result of the ORC Report.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay.
MR. NADEAU: Again, Commissioners, Dwight Nadeau, for the
record, with RW A, representing the petitioners, Filmore Recycling,
Filmore LLC, on this CP-2008-4.
We had originally gone through our transmittal vetting process
where we were going to change the designation from a rural fringe
mixed-use district sending designation to a neutral designation to allow
for a construction and demolition debris recycling operation.
(Commissioner Henning is no longer present via speakerphone.)
MR. NADEAU: It would augment the existing recycling
operation that's on the subject property.
We made our transmittal. We did have some verbal indication
from DCA that they wouldn't have any objection. There was a -- the
ORC Report came back with some objection. And for lack of a better
term, I think it was more of a precedence matter in creating a hole in the
Future Land Use Map.
And so, through discussions with staff and the DCA, it was found
to be appropriate to create a written exception within the Future Land
Use Element to provide for the desired land use and not have to make
the land -- not have to make the map change.
The applicant is in agreement with the language that's been
proposed. We have a letter of support on the petition.
And with that, I humbly request your approval.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. And staffno longer has any
objections?
MR. WEEKS: That is correct.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: And we are in compliance with the ORC
Report?
MR. WEEKS: Based on our discussions with the DCA staff, they
are in agreement with the language that is before you.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. There seemed to be a difference
between your discussions and the written report, however, if!
remember correctly.
MR. WEEKS: That's correct. The written report was based on
the original petition as was approved for transmittal, which was to
redesignate the land from sending to neutral. And the proposal now is,
leave the property designated sending, just by text amendment, add this
one specific use for this property. DCA was okay with that verbally.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: And the petitioner's okay with that?
MR. NADEAU: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. Is there a recommendation--
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Motion to approve.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Motion to approve by Commissioner
Halas.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Second.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Second by Commissioner Fiala.
Any further discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN COYLE: All in favor, please signify by saying aye.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Aye.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Aye.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Aye.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Any opposed, by like sign?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Commissioner Henning, were you with
us?
COMMISSIONER HALAS: No, he's not.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: It went back off again.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Then it passes, 4-0.
MR. NADEAU: Thank you, Commissioners.
MR. WEEKS: ***Commissioner, your last item is a
county-initiated petition, petition CPSP-2008-7, staff petition
requesting an amendment to the Future Land Use Element to add a new
policy, 4.11, pertaining to aligning planning time frames in the GMP.
You approved it unanimously for transmittal. There were no
comments in the ORC Report.
COMMISSIONER COLETTA: Motion to approve.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Motion to approve.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Second.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Motion to approve by a Commissioner
Coletta, and second by Commissioner Halas and Commissioner Fiala.
Is there any further discussion?
(No response.)

COMMISSIONER FIALA: Aye.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Aye.

CHAIRMAN COYLE: It passes, 4-0.
MR. WEEKS: That's it, Commissioners.
CHAIRMAN COYLE: Okay. We don't have to do anything
else.
I'll entertain a motion to adjourn.
COMMISSIONER HALAS: Motion to adjourn.
COMMISSIONER FIALA: Second.
