   1:15:17Move approval?

   Ron OakleyChair

   1:15:18Got a motion and a second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Motion pass 4-0. Move on to P54.

   Kathryn Starkey

   1:15:30Item P 54 was published in the Tampa Times on February 21, 2024 and by affidavit of certified mailings and site postings.

   Amy Heiler

   1:15:45Good afternoon, Amy Tull with Planning and Economic Growth. The item before you is uh PEG 24-0124. It is a comprehensive plan amendment in the name of CPA 2311 Sanderbin.

   1:16:02So the item before you is a comprehensive plan amendment. It is a large-scale amendment. Currently, the future land use is AG Agricultural. The applicant is proposing a future land use amendment to AGR agricultural rule to develop 18 single-family residential homes, which equate to approximately five-acre lots on around 92.6 acres. Subject sites located Northwest corner of Johnston Road and Bellamy Brothers Boulevard. There is an accompanying rezoning

   1:16:32petition that will follow the plan amendment.

   1:16:36Here is a visual visual representation of where it's located in the North Market area.

   1:16:44Here is our transportation map as denoted. It is located on Bellamy Brothers Road with the 52, State Road 52 to the south, approximately 5.75 miles.

   1:16:59The context map here is to highlight the proximity to the rural areas. So as you can see, it is located in rural area two, which is your rural transition area. So on the west side of Bellamy Brothers, rural area two. On the east side of Bellamy Brothers is going to be your rural area one, the northeast rural area. What this visual is showing is the different green shapes. Are your agricultural zoning districts? Currently it is AG, so the light colored is your AG agricultural

   1:17:29zoning district. Or I'm sorry, future land use. The darker green is going to be your AGR. So it does highlight within proximity that the area does take into consideration both AG and AGR land use classifications in the area. It is important to note too that this is the Rule Area 2. Rule Area 2 is your rural transition area, which is intended to be a transition from your Rule Area 1, Northeast Rule. The context of that, meaning the Northeast

   1:17:59Rural Area allows for density between AG, AGR, and RES One. Rule transition area is intended to transition from that. Therefore, the AG And the AGR in the rural transition area is an appropriate transition from Rural Area One into Rural Area Two.

   1:18:18So your existing future land use being A G

   1:18:23Your proposed future land use being AGR?

   1:18:29Your existing zoning district is A C

   1:18:33And these are the following policies that the proposed amendment is consistent with.

   1:18:39And with that we recommend uh authorization of the transmittal of this project or this package to the Department of Commerce and other reviewing agencies. I can answer any questions if necessary. I also have the project planner here to answer those questions as well.

   Ron OakleyChair

   1:18:55And I I can add on this um this particular property's got a hard road right down the middle of it. uh very wide, very good hard road and these lot these five acre lots have come off that hard road. So on the property. Yeah. Uh this is a public hearing so uh applicant come forward.

   Kathryn Starkey

   1:19:17Um, I hope there's a next party because I did meet with the applicant. She didn't say so.

   Cindy Terrapani

   1:19:23Cindy Terripani representing the applicant, I don't I defer to your attorney, but I believe a ex parte disclosure wouldn't be required. This is a legislative matter, not a quasi-judicial matter. That's correct. Okay.

   Unidentified speakerVoice A

   1:19:34But we require that we we we ask them to do it for everything so it it's neater. But you're right. It doesn't matter.

   Cindy Terrapani

   1:19:41Thank you. I just want to double check. I wasn't losing my mind and haven't forgotten something basic to uh my understanding of planning. Uh my name is Cindy Terrapani. Address is one twenty eight East Tarpon Avenue and Tarpon Springs with Terrapani Planning Strategies. I represent the property owner who is also the applicant for this plan amendment. Hey ma'am, you've been sworn? Yes, ma'am, I have been sworn.

   1:20:02Oh, thank you. Uh the the as the staff say this is a plan amendment is a request from one agricultural plan category to another agricultural plan category. The d the intent of those two categories, the existing category and the proposed are very similar. They both suggest a uh to the intent to maintain the agricultural character of the area and to minimize infrastructure, public infrastructure. The primary difference, and that's why we're here today, is the size of the lot. In the current plan category, it's a lot size of ten

   1:20:33acres. The proposed is a minimum lot size of five acres. So on this 92-acre site, it's a difference between nine lots that we could do today and 18 lots that we could do if you so approve the plan amendment. There are two homes existing on the property today. One was the original homestead and that's been renovated. By my client, the property owner. The second home is a newer home and it's in pretty good shape. Both homes are planned to remain on the site. The lot layout, as Chairman Oakley alluded to, we've done a conceptual

   1:21:03lot layout that does not obviously accompany the plan amendment, but just to show to you and to the staff, it can accommodate 18 lots. The two homes can be accommodated on their lot, meeting the lots. size and the setbacks and with the new lots that would be added to it. Um the proposed change was so de minimis with regard to traffic that your staff did not even require traffic study. Obviously we're only adding nine single-family um homes to the property. The site is in the rural transition area and I think that's an important thing to

   1:21:33do this is what we are proposing that transition so that the the urban scale development that you have all along has been approved all along that fifty two corridor with 8,000 residential units and hundreds of thousands of commercial and office development

   1:21:48is to our south along that corridor, extends pretty far north of 52 as you're well aware. To the east is the northeast rural area. So at five-acre lots, we are that transition between the urban scale you have along 52 and the northeast Pasco area to the east. And in fact, one of the residents of the Northeast Pasco rural area stated at the Planning Commission public area that this is exactly what they were looking for in the rural transition area and was in support of our application. We are going to preserve the agricultural world land with

   1:22:18no extensions of sewer and water, no impacts on public services, little impacts, no impacts on natural resources, or just one correction to the agenda memo. The amount of wetlands on the site is point about a third of an acre, slightly less than this is listed in the report. And it meets the other criteria of the plan amendments. We do know that we have Have right away to be reserved along Bellamy Brothers Boulevard and that'll be accomplished during the site plan process. Your staff has recommended approval and the Planning Commission also

   1:22:48recommended approval at their hearing in March. I'd respectfully request your approval and I'm happy to answer your questions.

   Ron OakleyChair

   1:22:58Okay. Any questions for that Ben? Uh this public hearing is uh is there anyone here to Uh speak against this item.

   Kathryn Starkey

   1:23:08Mr. Chairman I have uh one individual signed up, Daniel Raderman.

   Ron OakleyChair

   1:23:12Are you here to speak against it or for it?

   Unidentified speakerVoice A

   1:23:17Oh so you

   Ron OakleyChair

   1:23:18pulled it off. Okay, come forward. We'll let you speak

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:23:22anyway.

   1:23:26Thank you, Daniel Radderman, [address removed].

   1:23:34You better turn

   Unidentified speakerVoice A

   1:23:34it.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:23:38Thank you. After speaking with a couple of members of the County Planning Department, we do have many concerns about this. Um but I as I understand it, this not the right venue to express those concerns. And for that reason, for the most part, I'm gonna pay table my concerns until the June 4th meeting. The the representative recently made a comment though about the environmental impact. I would like it noted that um on the area that I own, that property is

   1:24:08right across from the proposed property. And uh it is a dedicated wetland area. It's a low-lying wetland area. There are some grade considerations for this property that the applicant is requesting this change for. And when we consider capping off some of these sandy absorbent pasture lands with hard surfaces, uh that will certainly impact that wetland area. directly across from Bellamy Brothers. Um the other issue is I

   1:24:39just like it um on record that just to add emphasis to the comments that I made at last month's meeting, uh my neighbors and I, including the Partles, are um you know very much opposed to this on the grounds that it the the density that's being requested is very much out of character um with the surrounding area. And I understand this is what's described as a transition zone in the master plan. Don't fully uh understand that or um you know probably appreciate that as just a normal property

   1:25:09owner because if you live there, if you spend any time there, there's nothing transitory about this area. Uh for as far south on Bellamy Brothers until you hit fifty two, it's either um horse farms or pasture land. You can go as far north on Bellamy to Powell, it's horse farms and pasture land. You can go east on Johnston until you get to the Mobile Home Park, it's horse farms and pasture land. So um I just wanted that on record and um uh I'll be back

   1:25:39at the next meeting. Thank you very much. All

   Ron OakleyChair

   1:25:41right, thank you.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:25:44Okay.

   Ron OakleyChair

   1:25:46Uh just so everyone's aware that a five acre uh one house for five acres is a transitional rural acreage. So I live on that. Other people live on the same thing in in this area. So there are large ranches out in the same area, so just so you know. So all right, pleasure of the board.

   Jack Mariano

   1:26:10There's a closed public comment?

   Unidentified speakerVoice A

   1:26:13We call for public comment in

   Jack Mariano

   1:26:14there.

   Ron OakleyChair

   1:26:15Okay. Does anyone else here that wish to speak with the side?

   Kathryn Starkey

   1:26:19I have no one else signed up and no one on WebEx.

   Ron OakleyChair

   1:26:21Okay. Seeing no one coming forward.

   Jack Mariano

   Ron OakleyChair

   1:26:25Yeah, a motion and second. Yeah,

   Kathryn Starkey

   1:26:26I I I think five acres is a good transition from one to the other.

   9:18As Icewood. Come forward?

   9:24State your name and address for the record.

   Nancy Hazelwood

   9:27No. Nancy Hazel [address removed]. Um so I I read through all this and I I had heard some concerns about but I wasn't sure what I should be concerned about. The only thing I saw was maybe it was gonna be higher densities than one per five per acre. So I just wanted

   9:53that it cannot be any denser than one unit perfect for five acres. Thank y'all.

   Ron OakleyChair

   10:03All right. Thank you. Anyone else wish to speak this item? Yes, ma'am? Thank

   Cindy Terrapani

   10:08you, Mr.

   Ron OakleyChair

   10:08Chairman Mariano.

   Cindy Terrapani

   10:10I'm the applicant. I represent the applicant. Cindy Terrapani. The address is 128 East Tarpon Avenue in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Represent the applicant. This is your adoption hearing on this plan amendment. Planning Commission recommended unanimously to approve it. Um you are recommended and unanimously to approve it to transmit it. We had no comments back from any of the state agencies. Um and I just confirm uh Ladies comment the request is for a plan category that the maximum density is one unit for five acres. Each lot must

   10:40be a minimum of five. We're currently at ten, so we're asking to go from ten a ten-acre lot to a five-acre lot. The difference is nine units altogether. It's a very minimus de minimis change. We will, upon approval of this, if we are approved today, we will start through the rezoning. process um to confirm that it will be a five acre zoning lot and then of course subdivide as we go forward. Happy to answer any questions you might have. I I have one question. I don't recall what the plan is for Bellamy if there's a multi-use path

   11:10going up the side of it, but is there a reservation on this? Um we have there is a right-of-way reservation on the on well on both sides and we uh we're aware of that. I don't I don't remember that there's a pat I don't believe there's a path on Bellamy. I think the path is down on State Route 52, but I would refer defer to the staff. Well they're gonna be in

   Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

   11:28the road then.

   11:32Let me ask to to

   Ron OakleyChair

   11:34The the nearest trail is five point seven miles south of this site at fifty two. So the i a trail does not go up uh Bellamy Brothers Board. It doesn't go up on Bellway.

   Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

   11:46But there i there is one south of it. Yeah, right there.

   Ron OakleyChair

   11:50Yes. South of it.

   Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

   11:51Yeah, just so if th if whoever moves in there wants to get to the trail, they're gonna be in the road.

   Ron OakleyChair

   11:56Yes, there are those they'll probably be roll their shoulder and

   Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

   11:59that's not always the best plan. Mm-hmm. Just saying.

   Jack Mariano

   12:03Yeah. Mr. Chairman Mariano. Well Terry's up, Terry? Down to the south at Lenar, where fifty-two in Bellamy hit, we have a we have a trailer or path along the frontage of that road.

   Ron OakleyChair

   12:15Yes. On the north side at fifty two, F dot installed a multi use path, I believe.

   Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

   12:21I mean it comes up Bellamy to fifty two f from the s where the Orange Belt Trail is coming along. It's going north. I was pretty sure it was going north on Bellamy at least two fifty two. Um I mean it's gotta go up. I I don't think that's right. I think it goes up and then crosses through the project that Heinz is doing, so

   Cindy Terrapani

   12:45I

   12:45was

   12:45just gonna add one thing again, Cindy Terrapani, for the applicant. Um there's no plans even in the LRTP to expand Bellamy belong beyond its two lane uh c uh situation today. So with the right of way that's being donated by this property and the right of way that is there, if you elected to to do a trail, it seems to me there would be enough right away to put it in I mean enough right away to put a trail in your right of way that you're getting from this applicant. So Are we when are we hiring that

   Kathryn StarkeyVice Chair

   13:11this trail person that will know these answers to these questions, Mike?

   Ron OakleyChair

   13:18The the uh um the advertisement is active right now. We've gone through uh one round of candidates and had to go back out in search of a candidate again. So it's an active application that we're looking for active transportation planners. Um At Bellamy Brothers, the pedestrian infrastructure that's moving north from 52 tend is sidewalks that are associated with development that's taking that will take place in the area. Um a pat the a multi-use path crosses

   13:4952 north to south at Old Pasco Road, just to the east of here, of Bellamy and 52, that is. Uh keep in mind that this particular site is five miles, almost six miles north of the nearest party. And that this is on the borders of the rural area, between the rural transition area and northeast rural.

   Lisa Yeager

   14:09All right.

   Ron OakleyChair

   14:11Yeah, that road's never planned to be a four lane road, so it's hopefully we get good improvements on balancing that we do need in that area. So okay.

   Unidentified speakerVoice A

   14:23Mr. Chairman Mariano for public comment since sort of been destroyed.
