    Jack Mariano

    I'm okay.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Hmm.

    Seth Weightman

    I'm good.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Good. Um So this public hearing, does anyone we have someone speak to this? Is that I asked for the public

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Yeah. Well this or this would be an applicant presentation, so or there there should be an applicant for this one. It's not county initiated. So you'd call the applicant first and then a member to the public.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Okay. All right. If reaction would like to come forward?

    Name and address for the record.

    Ann Pollock

    Uh good afternoon. Ann Pollock, uh 433 Central Avenue in St. Pete representing the applicant. Uh we're here today uh requesting this comprehensive plan amendment. Uh the owner um owns a small HVAC business here in the county and would like to open up a small uh retail center to sell uh uh parts and and do repairs. He'd like to use the remainder to lease out the um the the spaces

    to other small businesses, um small trades, neighborhood commercial office, and and that sort. We feel that the the our application is uh consistent with the comprehensive plan, uh the intent of the The comm designation is to encourage job creating uses. Mr. Finley expects, he has about four employees now, he expects to have to have at least another six to run this business. And uh with the addition of the other uh

    spaces, we expect more jobs to come in to this area. Uh the area is surrounded by uh pastures and residential as well as significant uh commercial. Uh to the north is ninety eight which has shops and um other businesses including um uh used car and um open storage and and other small businesses. This will allow for an improved uh development in the area while mo more fully satisfying the commercial and business needs of the surrounding

    residents. The applicant is uh working to um uh work with the neighbor to modify the access uh to the north so that we're not intruding with the the neighbors access to get out onto 301. And the owner plans to build fencing and buffering on the rear, including stormwater and that sort, in order to provide a good buffer. Uh the the issue that I wanted to raise today is that as part of this uh application,

    uh Planning Commission staff uh I'm sorry, long-range planning staff uh requested that we voluntarily agree to a deed restriction limiting uses and providing uh some other um development restrictions as well as the Live Local Act uh deed restriction. The applicant volunteered to comply. Those uses are not planned to be used here, but you know, certainly agreed in order to gain the staff

    support and the county support of this. This was presented at the Planning Commission on this matter. Uh we are also going through a contemporaneous uh rezoning request to C2. and we had our Planning Commission meeting last week and at the Planning Commission The Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the rezoning but without the deed restrictions, other than live local. They they kept that. um feeling that it was inappropriate

    and unnecessary to include the deed restrictions for this owner um in order to comply with the requirements of code and the appropriateness of the um the the commercial use going forward. I don't think that long-range planning staff thinks that um I do think commercial is uh long-range planning staff thinks uh commercial is an appropriate use for this property. Uh but I did want to raise the issue with regard to the deed restrictions. And um we

    we're of course at the board's pleasure regarding that, but I wanted to make you aware of uh what sort of the chronology of what happened. happened with those deed restrictions. And with that I'm adding the other thing. Are there

    Ron OakleyChair

    deed restrictions on this property?

    Ann Pollock

    I'm sorry?

    Ron OakleyChair

    There are deed restrictions on this property?

    Ann Pollock

    There would be as part of these approvals.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Ones that were agreed with was staffed.

    Kathryn Starkey

    I I mean I have some questions for staff when about

    Ron OakleyChair

    the deed

    Kathryn Starkey

    restriction.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Okay. Staff let staff come back up.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    I can take a reason.

    Ron OakleyChair

    That's a bit like.

    Okay. All right Terry question.

    Kathryn Starkey

    Terry Fruit.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Wait a minute. If I can ask Terry, which is the companion rezoning on this on this agenda? So th th this wouldn't even be an appropriate you the board can have the discussion, but it wouldn't it would this is a zoning issue, not a comp plan issue.

    That's correct. Okay.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Well what is that?

    Commission recommendation is would be an issue that you would take up next.

    It's not. Um so that'll be back before you at some point.

    Kathryn Starkey

    This is

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    the comp plan.

    Kathryn Starkey

    Okay, I think you had that said that

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    differently.

    Kathryn Starkey

    All right, well then I have plenty of time to ask you about the restrictions. So I I won't bother taking it.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Okay. Thank you. Any other questions?

    Is anyone in the audience here this is a public hearing, is anyone in the audience here to s speak to this item?

    Kathryn Starkey

    I have no one signed up and no one on WebEx for this item.

    Ron OakleyChair

    All right, no move approval. Move approval. Move approval.

    Kathryn Starkey

    Second.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Got a motion and second. All those in favor say aye.

    Oh I need a roll call vote. Thank you.

    Kathryn Starkey

    District two, Commissioner Weightman. District three, Commissioner Starkey. Um okay

    Kathryn Starkey

    do you mind if I ask a question real quick? Um and I I didn't hear it. Is there a a multi-use path going up this side of this road?

    Ron OakleyChair

    Little piece of property.

    Kathryn Starkey

    Did they talk about that? Or does that

    Ron OakleyChair

    This road's being uh redone.

    Ron OakleyChair

    There's existing pedestrian infrastructure along with Brundage. There's a sidewalk, my understanding. But as you can see from the uh map on the overhead, there are a number of trails that are crisscrossing the area that are not yet fully reached into the southern parts of the Rakuchi.

    Kathryn Starkey

    So um but we would talk about that at the rezoning not at this

    Ron OakleyChair

    Well making

    Kathryn Starkey

    sure there's a reservation.

    Ron OakleyChair

    The rezoning would be a Euclidean rezoning, so the C2 zoning. So uh we wouldn't we we would not be able to condition them on that rezoning, but there would there would be discussions about that when they submit for site plans. Any kind of uh connectivity. But they're only a small portion of the 301 frontage, so it's not a it's not a it's a three-acre site, so it's not a sort of a sort of a s

    Kathryn Starkey

    I just want to make sure that they know there's probably a multi-use path coming on one side of the that road that will need to be accommodated.

    Ron OakleyChair

    That conversation will come up later.

    Kathryn Starkey

    He said that w that we couldn't bring it up later.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    It won't be in your rezoning, but they will have that discussion in the site plan statement. Okay.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Yeah.

    Kathryn Starkey

    Okay.

    Ron OakleyChair

    Okay. So I got a motion and a second by low call vote.

    Kathryn Starkey
