1:42:59This is item P D D twenty two seventy-five eighty-five, Eagle Two Industrial E C and P D. Here's the location map south of State Road fifty two to the west of Bellamy Brothers.

1:43:15The current zoning district is AC, to the north is AR, to the east is M Pud, to the south is AC To the west is A C. The future land use of this parcel is EC. To the north is Res One. To the south is res three, to the east is E C to the west is E C

1:43:59This is the CPEV sub-area map at the top. Is the current CPEV sub-area map and on the bottom is proposed after these changes to Eagle Two in terms of entitlements.

1:44:16This is the master plan.

1:44:25The proposed development is within the CPEV Central Pasco Employment Village, and the parcels are currently vacant. They are being used for agricultural pursuits. Effective August 24, 2021, the landowners within this Eagle II ECM Puty entered into that certain exchange agreement for CPV master plan use designations for portions of Swope, Coca-Lacus, East parcels, which is now recorded in OR Book 10426, page 461 of public records of Pasco County, Florida.

1:44:52Can you go back to the last slide please for a moment? The one before that with the master plan?

1:44:56This one? Master plan?

1:45:04Okay. Thank you.

1:45:10The applicant is seeking the following variations from the Land Development Code, Section 805.6 and 902.2 M, to allow industrial parcels under single ownership to maintain their stormwater ponds, wetlands, and open space without having to plat them as separate tracks and conveyed to a separate entity for maintenance. All activity, maintenance, or restrictions in such areas shall be in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Resource Permit.

1:45:37The applicant has also submitted a non-substantial modification to the SR 52 Industrial Employment Center Master Plan Unit Development to revise the entitlements on Parcel 2 to be solely light industrial and increase the square footage from 482,780 to 700,000 square feet of light industrial. This will serve as the support commercial for both Eagle 1 and Eagle 2. It will all be allocated on the Eagle 2 MPUD. Going back. Eagle One is the all purple parcel.

1:46:09that is directly abutting equal to to the east. You'll notice that the map is a little bit more. on top the red Shifts to all purple below, and it's because of this non substantial modification moving those support commercial entitlements to Eagle Two.

1:46:32The County is prepared to purchase Orange Belt Trail right-of-way along the southern portion of both Eagle One and Eagle Two as set forth in the conditions of approval or has the option to use an existing easement. If the if agreement is reached with the beneficiary.

1:46:47And that's a thirty foot easement.

1:46:51And Pasco County would buy thirty feet north of that to make a total of sixty feet.

1:46:58Okay. Uh I'll I w won't stop you until you're done with your presentation. Absolutely.

1:47:06This is a graphic depiction of that Orange Belt Trail. It's pretty hard to tell from here, but there's a hatched area that indicates the easement. And then you have the overall red area which would include the thirty feet north that the county has an option to purchase.

1:47:25The proposed request is consistent with the Pasco County LDC Chapter 400 Subsection 402.2 Zoning Amendment MPUD Master Plan Unit Development and applicable provisions of the Pasco County Comprehensive Plan. The Planning and Development Department recommends Approval with conditions. The Planning Commission voted three one for denial.

1:47:48With the changes they voted three one?

1:47:50No. The changes happened prior to in between PC and BCC. It was denied on the fact of the trail.

1:48:00And um

1:48:04Um So I have questions. I don't know if the applicant wants to go first or would we ask our questions now? I would suggest you take the applicant's presentation. We'll have the applicant's presentation. And Mr. Karbala, who is gonna Besides me, speak about the trail on your staff. Who is your trail czar today? Sam?

1:48:24Sam's here.

1:48:25Sam. Okay.

1:48:32Good afternoon. Uh Cynthia Spidel, Stearns Weaver, 401 East Jackson Street, and I have been sworn. Um we worked really hard to get to this point. We've worked out all issues. Um thank you very much. We want to thank uh William Vermillion, Brad Tippen, Terry Pittas, and David Goldstein and all of you for taking the time to work out these issues. And uh I have a full presentation, uh but that's at your at your pleasure if you'd like me to present that um or if you have any specific questions. But with that we um you know we just thank you for your time and we support staff's

1:49:02recommendation of approval.

1:49:03I guess um one of my first questions would be um if you have Uh if there's any objections from your neighbors on the

1:49:10road, not to my knowledge, but I see one here. Yes. I just want to be sure. Um well he can speak for himself, but we have uh worked really hard. We've met with him subsequent to the planning commission meeting um to remove to move the road uh alignment again. Um during that call, they indicated that they were okay with that revised alignment, so we basically our revisions and resubmittle to the county based on that phone call. So what before you is based on what we understand they're okay with. And then we worked really hard with staff to come up with Orange Trail options.

1:49:40And so like I said, we're very happy to answer any other questions and the landowners here as well. Okay, so do does anyone else have questions?

1:49:49I just wanted to wait and hear from you know the public that's here to make sure we're all on the same page. I know we stated everybody worked hard to fix that road alignment. I know that was from me watching the Planning Commission meetings, that was obviously one of the um things that needed to get worked out um with your your neighbor. Um And then I know the trail was a big part of it too, so I guess I'm just waiting to hear those two items and have confirmation that everybody's on the same page now.

1:50:15Right.

1:50:17Um and I apologize if you know the purchase price or any additional um right away that we'd be purchasing as well. Well

1:50:24that's what I'm gonna

1:50:25uh have

1:50:25Sam

1:50:26talk about.

1:50:26Yeah, so that uh those are the We seem to be on the same page.

1:50:29So what we did for the right-of-way acquisition is we threw in the 30-foot easement for free. We based the additional 30 feet that you would be purchasing based on the comps in the area, and then averaged it over the over the 60 feet so that it would be comparable with what occurred to the west of the property. So that option's in there. But obviously if you can um get the easement or the beneficiary of the easement to allow you to use the trail, then obviously the client's willing to give that to you for free. Yeah. So and then I'll

1:51:00reserve um any other additional comment based on rebuttal if that's okay. Okay.

1:51:04Thanks, Cynthia. We boy, we put a lot of put a lot of hours into this one. Yeah.

1:51:07I think there was an issue about some of that right away because it's gonna be we were having to get right away over Tampa Bay right away.

1:51:14So uh on that thirty foot easement on the bottom, um The um Saint Pete had the original uh Easement. And when Tampa Bay Water was formed that that uh language went over to Tampa Bay Water. And um Sam's been working very hard on this and um Tampa Bay Water has Agreed that They don't need the easement, so if you want to speak to that. Um right with our alignment?

1:51:44Sam Bennick with uh engineering services. Um I can't say better than you, ma'am. Uh the Tampa Bay Water uh controls that easement. Um and and we did get response from Tampa Bay Water that they didn't object. They had some some pretty reasonable conditions that we would Yeah. Expected and would would comply with if we we did go ahead and locate a trail along that alignment.

1:52:12Our next little challenge will be moving eastward. Um but we are gonna tackle that one next. Yeah. Um but I'm glad we have this one worked out. Commissioner Oakley.

1:52:24The vision road that I've seen on the maps that come through there, there's no set alignment of that because that doesn't matter. The vision road is

1:52:31to the north now.

1:52:33But it's north of of where the That easement for the sidewalk.

1:52:38Yes. Yeah. And that and that that vision road has a trail along it as well. So people can um will be able to live uh in the development and get to work without going on the road if they didn't want to.

1:52:50Well what I understand that. That easement for that roadway. It's not set in stone, so that doesn't mean it can't change or something.

1:52:59Um

1:53:00that's my understanding.

1:53:03Madam Clerk. The MPUD when when you approve this MPUD, you are effectively setting the alignment through this M P D. Okay,

1:53:11because I was told, oh no, there's nothing set in stone, but I will set it if it was.

1:53:15That was the reason the neighbor was objecting, because it was in fact setting the alignment of the roadway through this MPUD.

1:53:20Yeah, and I have concerns of setting alignment and then um Forcing that neighbor to do something he wouldn't want to do in his project coming forth without

1:53:31hear from him, but the applicant's representing that he's now okay with the alignment. But it d this will set the alignment. I

1:53:38want to be clear about

1:53:38that.

1:53:39I haven't I haven't heard that. I've heard it but I've not heard it from him.

1:53:43Madam Chairman, maybe you ought to take public comment then.

1:53:46Oh do you have a question for Sam? Yeah,

1:53:48Sam sorry.

1:53:49Can you come back up?

1:53:50Yeah, sorry.

1:53:52Take public comment afterwards.

1:53:55All right.

1:53:57Tell me again about the uh let's talk about the trail one more time. Okay.

1:54:01Can you put the route

1:54:01up,

1:54:02please?

1:54:03It okay, so the applicant said they um are they're giving thirty they're giving uh thirty feet Correct? Easement? Well, we gotta don't.

1:54:12Can you go to

1:54:13thirty? Yes.

1:54:13Can you go to map?

1:54:14An easement of thirty feet. But we would need to purchase the additional thirty feet.

1:54:23No, we don't if we needed it.

1:54:24So we I don't think so that's why I'm wondering if we don't so you're basically selling us we're not gonna need it now. That was

1:54:31Bellamy Brothers is all the way to the right.

1:54:34And I don't know if you if there's a a slide that has that condition language, but uh the the way that the condition is drafted,

1:54:41okay,

1:54:42it gives us the option um when notified by the applicant that a sale is pending, um, that uh there's a period where the county has the option to either um decide to not purchase right away or decide to purchase right away at that time. Right now our our study for this alignment is just getting underway and so um uh if If it's acceptable to everyone, I would suggest that we wait until the

1:55:12the applicant has need for us to make a decision and based on the best information at that time we can either uh purchase at a price that has been negotiated and agreed to um or or opt to continue. This would allow us again to continue working with Tampa Bay Water and go from An email which is a I mean we we trust their their email but uh

1:55:35we're trying to

1:55:36I had a conversation too.

1:55:37Okay good part. No that's good because I know I'm just being honest. So the last thing I'd want to do, I mean, is have to buy a another thirty foot e additional thirty foot easement. at a current market rate with what it is now because it's the prices are inflated. So we lose

1:55:54Yeah, so I'm I'm hoping she's getting the map up 'cause I wanna give you a pic a big picture of what's happening in in this area. So are are we putting maps on or Google Earth, whatever you want

1:56:05to call

1:56:05it? Yes, sir.

1:56:07If you're looking at current valuations now in Pasco County What we would have paid two years ago or just be honest, when when the purchaser paid what they paid for it, you know, I mean it's it's inflated now. Uh so I would be very

1:56:22We did work with uh our

1:56:23attorney's

1:56:24office and the ones that

1:56:25are easement for a trail. I'm

1:56:27sorry, sorry.

1:56:28I

1:56:28be

1:56:28I'd just be concerned paying that side of price for an easement for a trail.

1:56:32Uh we I mean we did work with the the county staff who um have the we understand the the most direct um you know i uh understanding of that issue. And concluded that the um agreeing to a price now. while we we're not tied to having to purchase that right of way. was preferable to waiting and maybe having either a higher price later or getting into an extended debate about whether or

1:57:02not the you know, what the definition of um you know fair market value is uh given where we are in our study, we now have a a clear understanding of what the cost of that right away would be. And so we can very accurately compare that against

1:57:19So what's that number?

1:57:20Um Ms.

1:57:24So give me a total.

1:57:28Well you can't talk from there, I mean sorry. Sorry. For the record.

1:57:34It's all of it is uh con both options are in condition thirty five with the prices. Okay, well just

1:57:38give me the price. For I mean for the public and everybody else and

1:57:44Do you want to follow in fifty minutes?

1:57:48I'll get the exact number.

1:58:11I hear rumbling.

1:58:18It's not added up in the condition. It's just uh five Five point seven four four acres times eighty one thousand. One hundred and twenty two.

1:58:26Five. Five five times eight, is that what you're saying? So Yeah, five

1:58:30point six.

1:58:30Let me let me do my math. Five times eight is four. And I'm gonna add three zeros. So four hundred thousand plus? Four sixty five. You're like

1:58:39look

1:58:39at

1:58:39that.

1:58:42You were faster than my calculator.

1:58:45Yeah.

1:58:48Yeah, but I don't think we're gonna need it. Um so if you see Aaron cut off Kind of is on your left and up here is Tampa Sporting Clays.

1:58:57Yep.

1:58:58But you don't want a trail going by. Um and I thought originally we were coming up that southern edge and I thought that was gonna be exciting. But Um The way uh We think it's gonna go, right, Sam? Is that we're gonna uh jump onto this Swift Mud Road going in Crot that's uh Cypress Creek, is that right? And it comes up And uh comes up and it comes and you see where it um I don't have a pointer but You can see where it

1:59:28touches, yeah, right up there. And that's where we reconnect with the Orange Belt Trail. And head east. So um that's gonna be a beautiful ride through that through that park. So Well

1:59:40M Madam Chairman I don't disagree with you in one bit. I I just don't wanna ha pay, you know, almost five hundred thousand dollars for

1:59:46Well

1:59:46there's

1:59:48it's an easement that no one's ever used and um but when we've got permitted

1:59:52But you feel confident that uh Tama Bay Water is going to

1:59:56they already said it

1:59:57pass it over then I clarified it. I'm sure the applicant would prefer not to have to sell it to us, so because probably wants to use the land anyway. I could be wrong, but I'm not sure if you're But I know that's part of the condition to allow that to happen if we need it. All right. You feel confident. I'll trust you.

2:00:13So uh I I appreciate all the parties working hard together. And um getting everyone on the same page. And we thank Tampa Bay Water and Saint Pete as well. Um now's the time for public comment. Come on up, Andy.

I'd like to thank um Mr. Goldstein and William and uh staff
