To amend the MPUD to allow for uh development of seventy five hundred square foot office building. Could you clarify the plow number again?
Could could you repeat that? I couldn't hear you. Could you clarify the file that you just ran into the record?
Yeah.
Seventy seven ninety nine. Okay. That's not what I heard. Okay, thank you.
Perfect. Here's the rough location of the subject site, just off of Aaron Cutoff.
This proposals to add the additional 7,500 square foot office building into the existing MPD, which has 120 built single family detached units. Roughly point seven seven acres.
Here's the aerial location map showing those built single family detached. As well as the portion point seven seven acres that will be Seventy five hundred square feet of office. Which is nestled along Aaron Cutoff. Here's that zoning map reflecting M PewD.
Which is res three on the point seven seven acres in question.
Here's a context map showing parcel two that'll be the 7,500 square feet of office, the existing MPD, as well as the surrounding area showing the DuPrix Preserves MPUD, as well as Magnolia Point. And Aaron cut off.
Here's the MPD master plan. In red, you can see delineated that 0.77 acres along Aaron Cutoff that's going to be the 7,500 square feet of office.
This is the conceptual plan provided by the applicant, showing a two-story office building, associated parking, and stormwater infrastructure.
I'm here for this comes to you with a recommendation of approval from both the Planning Commission and Planning Development and Economic Growth. I'm here for any questions.
Well, is the applicant here? Oh boy.
Barbara Wilheite, 8627, Graham Bolova.
Okay, and this was pulled off the consent by a commissioner or because we have public opposition.
Okay.
Just to give you a little bit of history here, because I've represented this project for a long time. When this project was first approved, it was approved with its only access off of Fletcher Road. Folks on Fletcher Road really weren't happy about that. The client committed to trying to get additional property to have access off of Aaron. So we came back and we got ac we m did this project, the residential project off of Aaron. In getting that property off of Aaron, there was additional uplands that at that time we didn't put
any use on it because again we already had a residential project that we were just providing additional access to so it'd be off of Aaron and not off of Fletcher because that caused a lot of concern. So here we are with the upland piece of property. That's perfect for a daycare, a a community serving office. We're coming back and and just adding a use to that parcel so it just doesn't sit vacant. And um I think it's a pretty good pretty good thing uh for the county and for the community because it'll be uh it'll be local serving. So I'm not sure ultimately what the issue
is, but I just want to give you a little bit of background that that's how this parcel came to be.
Okay. Um so We have someone in audience who wished to speak to this item.
And if there's anyone else, just 'cause we're running late, please line up behind if this Okay, this is the only speaker. Anyone online? No. Okay, thank you.
Hi, my name is Kelly Hamilton, [address removed]. Um I did swear in. Um just reading this without the additional information given. I don't understand why you would take a preserve. Which is a, by definition, a protected area of land that includes a lake and is managed to preserve the natural re resources and wildlife. I don't understand why you would take that away and let them build an office space without
really knowing what it's gonna be yet, just to take up beautiful land. People wanna live in communities that are have I just think it's a shame. Sorry. This is my first time public speaking. Okay. But I just We moved out to Pasco County a year and a half ago, and there has been so much change in that year and a half, and there's something constantly being built, and the beauty and the reason why people move here and want to live here, I feel like is slowly being taken away, and I think it's
a shame. I think it could be put somewhere else in a building that's already built that has been No longer used, can be repurposed. I just don't think it's necessary to take a preserve piece of land.
There
is a preserve nearby, it's called Connor Preserve. That's the preserve. This is the confusion. This is some I know. This is someone's private land and they have the legal right to develop it. So
we do now that that has all been stated and now I know that. Yeah,
that's okay. It's it's confusing when then it's called a preserve, so No worries. Um okay. Uh so I guess we're yeah. Um any other
Did
you ch choose the name of this project?
I said, did you choose the name of the project?
What is the name of the project again?
