   Kathryn Starkey

   4:24:19P72, we have approved publication November 26, 2025 edition of Tampa Bay Times, supplemented by an affidavit of certified mailings and site posting.

   Amy Heiler

   4:24:37Good afternoon. Amy Tall, Planning Development and Economic Growth. P72 is PDE 26-7666. It's a zoning amendment in the name of Murphy Road MPUD, Oakley Pasco County Property Trust et al. It's a rezoning request from an RMH Mobile Home District, an AR Agricultural Residential District to an MPUD Mobile. Master Plan Unit Development District to allow for the development of 434 single-family detached

   4:25:07units and associated infrastructure on approximately 118.82 acres located in southeastern Pascoa County at the northeast corner of the intersection of Murphy Road and County Road 54. This comes with you or comes to you with a recommendation of approval with conditions. There is a presentation if desired.

   Jack MarianoChair

   4:25:29It's unregular. Okay. Let me just do a question. Um is there anyone here to speak to item P seventy two? Okay. Uh we'll do a presentation first then we'll have have you speak.

   Ron Oakley

   4:25:41Okay. Now.

   4:25:46I will be abstaining from this vote.

   Kathryn Starkey

   4:25:52Well, So take it quick.

   Planning and Development staff

   4:25:56Good evening, William Vermillion, Planning Development, Economic Growth. Um because of my employment here at the county, I don't believe I can be as curt as Mr. Two, so I'll give you guys a nice and kind presentation.

   Kathryn Starkey

   4:26:09I'll get 'em later.

   4:26:12The war is starting.

   Planning and Development staff

   4:26:16This is a uh this is a rezoning request from AR Agricultural Residential and R RMH uh Mobile Home District to MPD Max MPD Master Planning Unit Development for the maximum of 434 single-family detached residential dwelling units on 118 acres. This is just on the north side of County Road 54, half a mile west of the intersection of County Road 54 and Chansey. Here's a location map showing this project in the eastern market area, um

   4:26:46just to the northeast of Zephyrhills. This is the aerial location map. The future land use map, this this area has a res 9 on the majority and res six just on the northern edge. The current zoning reflecting a majority RMH and some AR. Here is a contextual map of the area. You can see in gray the site is bordered by the existing CSX rail line. And to the south, there's

   4:27:17an I-1 parcel that's currently used as an auto salvage yard. Uh along County Road fifty four. To the very north of the screen you have Pretty Pond Road where eventually that extension will will take uh traffic all the way out there to Old Lakeland Highway. You have Chinkin Road and the Dodtree Road extension. The Daughtry Road extension of course the one running from east to west across your screen all the way to Old Lakeland and Chinkin is an existing dirt road that traverses north and south.

   4:27:49This this project went to Planning Commission a couple times and was continued. The original proposal was a lot more intense than what's before you today. So I wanted to go over some of the changes that the the applicant made after discussions with staff and some of the stakeholders in the community as well as the city of Zephyrhills. Um originally uh the proposal was for six hundred and seventy two townhomes and single family detached units, which was inclusive of uh the 40 foot lots, which I know that the

   4:28:19the board is not in favor of. And so what what we did was we reduced down to four hundred and thirty-four dwelling units total of single family detached and increased the minimum lot size to 55 Uh square foot lots at a minimum, and we increase the landscaping buffering for the adjoining neighbors, especially uh to the north. So here's the master plan. You can see that the internal roadway network, there's two primary access points off of County Road 54

   4:28:50as you as you move north. uh across the eventual Dodgery Road extension which bifurcates the property east and west, and the green areas denoting some of those larger buffers uh being put into the north. The amenity center was also moved, the mail kios was also moved to further central to the property to avoid any disturbance to some of the surrounding community members. Here are some of the the buffering typicals to add a visual depiction. A lot of times folks

   4:29:20up here say, you know, it's a type B or it's a type D buffer and there's not really a visual depiction that goes along with it. This is a visual depiction of both the type D buffer and the type D buffer, uh which will be um for some of those citizens in the neighborhood as well as along the right-of-way. for the typical sections of the internal roadway, the the top of which is Um the traditional fifty foot section that serves most of the residential neighborhoods in Pasco County with the five foot sidewalks, the travel lanes,

   4:29:51it's the one that's uh initially codified and in PM twenty six. And then to the south because of the two access and the amount of units in this, there's actually a type one B collector road. And on that collector road we work with the applicant to add a multi-use path in in lieu of a sidewalk. So you'll see on the right side of the screen there, there's an eight foot multi-use path that will be traversing this road running north-south for the pedestrians of this neighborhood.

   4:30:17There are two variation requests with this proposal, the first from 9160-11, to not provide an interconnection to the east or to the northwest, both to Chanckin or Forbes, because both of those are currently substandard county roads. Right. and didn't need further additional impact in the traffic of this development. Uh eventually at at some point in the future, long, long out in the future when the Dotry Road extension is completed from east to west. That will provide a meaningful eastern

   4:30:47connection for this project as it bifurcates the project.

   Jack MarianoChair

   4:30:50Is there a stub out that's gonna be set there?

   Planning and Development staff

   4:30:55We back up. So there there is no sub bounce. So if we look, um, the majority of that area is existing the backs of existing homes. Let me try to point. It's the exact the back of existing homes there and then eventually the eastern connection will be made of this vision road when built will give this the opportunity to connect uh in an eastwardly manner.

   4:31:25The last variation being from 9013 B, that is the arterial and collector spacing. Oh like I mentioned before, there's two connections here on County Road 54 And uh the spacing, because of the frontage that this property occupies, it's it's uh not mathematically possible to be able to meet the the spacing, which is 660 feet. So the applicant proposed an alternative standard um to reduce the amount of width in between

   4:31:55those um by a small amount. um to be five hundred and ninety-two feet and five hundred and twenty-five feet respectively. Um that was done with a a transportation study which found that there would be no adverse safety impacts due to the minimal um reduction of spacing that wasn't mathematically feasible with the project's limited frontage on fifty four.

   4:32:20With that it comes with a recommendation of approval with conditions from Planning Commission and Planning Development Economic Growth. I'm available for any questions.

   Jack MarianoChair

   4:32:28Let me ask Commissioner Starkey what do you think about the connectivity? What? What do you think of the connectivity?

   Kathryn Starkey

   4:32:39I don't know. What is okay, Clark. Clark from the air.

   Jack MarianoChair

   4:32:42No, I'm asking you a question first.

   Kathryn Starkey

   4:32:44Well I was I was looking up I was looking up the Schimberg study.

   Jack MarianoChair

   4:32:49Mr. Harvey.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   4:32:50Mr. Chairman Clark Hobby Hobby and Hobby PA 109 North Brest Street been sworn earlier. Uh the connectivity if I might address that. The only two roads we aren't connecting to, Commissioner Mariano, there's a dirt road called Chinkin that's very local near the northwest corner. And the other w road, Forbes, will have a connection to it when the Vision Road is ultimately built to it. It's just we don't want to connect to it now. Because Forbes needs to be improved for that to happen. So that's all. The the big thing just to take a step back and I won't

   4:33:20spend a bunch of time on this. The existing comp plan and the existing zoning allow for uh approximately thirty six percent more units than the zoning that we're requesting, and the existing zoning allows those units to be Either mobile homes or 40-foot lots, and we're seeking 55-foot lots. So this is a complete and total no-brainer, in my opinion. The board should be jumping all over this, as should the neighbors.

   4:33:51We had uh probably 15-20 people at the first Planning Commission hearing, and we were requesting townhouses at that time, and we downshifted the project substantially by. I think by forty something percent of units, got rid of all the townhouses, and that's why there aren't a bunch of neighbors here today. They finally understood we've really downshifted the project.

   4:34:15Anyway, I'm happy to answer any questions.

   Ron Oakley

   4:34:18Just to say one thing, this project went from 700 some units down to 400 some units and much better project than it would have been if it was kept all the density that it had. So

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   4:34:30And we ch added more landscape buffers. We did a bunch of stuff to make it better for our neighbors.

   Ron Oakley

   4:34:36It's a beautiful project. You'd be very proud if you own the project.

   Jack MarianoChair

   4:34:40Let's go to public comment. Anyone from the public want to speak? Yeah, too. We'll just come forward.

   4:34:50Anyone else please line up behind?

   4:34:58Jethro's gotta leave at five, so we gotta get going.

   Cindy Buckle

   4:35:00[address removed] Okay. We're and you

   Unidentified speakerVoice C

   4:35:11have been sworn now.

   Cindy Buckle

   4:35:12Pardoned?

   Unidentified speakerVoice C

   4:35:13And you have been sworn. Were you

   Cindy Buckle

   4:35:15Oh yes, I've been sworn. Like

   Unidentified speakerVoice C

   4:35:17Needed to state it for the record. That's

   Cindy Buckle

   4:35:19all I'm looking

   Unidentified speakerVoice C

   4:35:20for.

   Cindy Buckle

   4:35:21Listen. Okay, anyway Um, Forbes Road. When you pull out on it, you immediately go on railroad tracks, CSX. And then there's another set of railroad tracks. um to the east of Forest Lakes estates. These railroad tracks are still in use.

   Jack MarianoChair

   4:35:45Please address us.

   Cindy Buckle

   4:35:47We hear the horns, okay? I can tell you the times of day, eight o'clock in the morning, and so on. Okay. Um I do not see how this is possible since Forbes Road is liter literally when you come out, this is a railroad tracks, that's Forbes Road. Okay. So So putting in extra houses or whatever it is you want to

   4:36:17put in there is going to add traffic. Okay. Um As you all know, and if you don't I buried a daughter. Okay, and I can show you pictures of the vehicle where she was hit and it rolled down the side of besides these railroad tracks. Okay, there's a lot of traffic that's coming up 54. It's just

   4:36:47like and with the construction it backs up. It is dangerous. Um There's no kind of lights just like there's no flashing light on Blanton's fire department and the light on the new 18 has a green light so they've told me many times they come out and people just go right on by but anyway This Is a mistake. Um We

   4:37:19have already had to deal with the damage from Gateway N fifty four With all of the things they've put in the road And the fact that they're leaving the road dirt. nails, screws, I have been through three sets of tires and three windshields and I'm over it. I am over it. And I know you all know that because I send you regular emails every

   4:37:49time there's an accident. I have sent videos of people running red lights when there are ZPD officers sitting under a tree and do nothing about it. Um, I have talked to William Poe about it, don't get any answers. So I will continue to send these emails. And I also am sending them to somebody in Washington, D.C., where you all think you're not getting help. I am.

   Jack MarianoChair

   4:38:19Yeah.

   4:38:22Anyone else here to speak to this item?

   4:38:25If you would ladies please come forward and let's line up.

   4:38:31Thank you.

   Maria Shaw

   4:38:35First of all, this is my first time ever here um attending anything related um with Zephyrhills. Name and transfer the right name is I know you gave it before but just one more.

   Jack MarianoChair

   4:38:49Have you been sworn?

   Maria Shaw

   4:38:50And if they put the picture back where it shows Uh there. Rhyman Loop is at the very top. The north of this project is the south of we have six residents. Um

   Unidentified speakerVoice C

   4:39:04Ma'am, I know you stated it for the last hearing, but as part of the record, we need to have on the record that you've been sworn.

   Maria Shaw

   4:39:12I was sworn.

   Unidentified speakerVoice C

   4:39:13Thanks.

   Maria Shaw

   4:39:13Yes.

   4:39:17Uh I did not I am the vice president of the Pretty Pond Association, which is the forty-nine houses on Ryman Loop. And we and the board didn't get the letter to make it to the first meeting. Um I was asked as the vice president in the liaison, that's my responsibility, between resident, resident, resident to the board, I was asked to come here. We uh have a concern

   4:39:47on on um with our HOA. When Milton went through We had thirty over thirty trees that went down on Rheiman Lutz on the forty nine houses. We had one house totally destroyed. couple seriously damaged. However, we had no water damage at all. We have three retention ponds. The properties on Forbes Road was wet. The property behind

   4:40:17where the now cow pastures and stuff was wet. We had people on Chington Road, I don't pronounce it quite right, that parked on our street and walked through our properties to get to their backyards because there was so much water. There were tractor trailers sucking water out on Pretty Pond Road for weeks. Rhyme and Loop Street was dry. Our forty nine houses were dry. Of

   4:40:48the two retention ponds that hold water from time to time. They were Pretty full. but their banks not to the top. The one retention pond has never held water from 1999 until Milton and it had half its water. That was all. Every five years the retention ponds get inspected. It happened December of 2024, right after the

   4:41:19storm. They all passed. Our retention ponds passed. They were in very good shape. The concern we have is. With the infrastructure and the streets and the housing development, will there be an impact to how the water is absorbed, how it'll impact the six residents that are right there where there's two, I think those are retention ponds, those two pictures, the two blue parts. Will that

   4:41:49impact and if it does, who do we work with? Who do we talk to? I I'm looking for advice. Um

   Jack MarianoChair

   4:42:01All right, time's up. Um thank you for your input.

   Unidentified speakerVoice D

   4:42:05Yeah.

   Jack MarianoChair

   4:42:07Anyone else here to speak to this item?

   4:42:11Anyone online? No. Okay, we'll close public comment to P seventy two. And to the board or does staff want to address anything we was just spoken to? Drainage.

   Planning and Development staff

   4:42:29Warrior and Vermillion, Planning Development, Economic Growth. Um Of course the the pre and post it it the the pre development's not gonna not gonna change so their their stormwater ponds shouldn't be impact 'cause they're gonna be compensating for for all of the pre development.

   Jack MarianoChair
