45. P forty-five. We approved publication January 1st, 2025, edition of the taxpay time summon that I'm doing the happy day with a certified cycle.

Planning and Development staff

Good afternoon, William from Million Planning Development Economic Growth. This is a zoning amendment, PDE 257834, Harvest Hills West V O P H M P D in the name of Galvin Land Services, a rezoning request from AC Agricultural to MPD Master Plan United Development District.

This proposal is to allow for the maximum development of 279 dwelling units on approximately 100 acres at the intersection of Prospect and Work Road.

This project is also within the villages of Pasadena Hills, located within Village F. A rough location here indicated by the star. Here is an uh aerial view showing the uh the current alignment of Prospect Road and the ro roundabout there at Murata Boulevard and Curley.

This is the master plan for the village, showing neighborhood general for this area.

as well as the village F Master Plan, which is majority neighborhood edge. A little bit lower density on the southern portion of the site, bifurcated by Prospect Road. This is the master plan for this MPUD, showing the new alignment of Prospect Road that will be built by this MPUD, connecting into the now what will be the double roundabout at Mara and Curley.

showing those different densities, of course more dense to the north, less density to the south. However, as we'll see here, The applicants not proposing to develop the southern portion. So it will be uh kept as wetlands and conservation. And the the majority of that density will be used on the northern portion. These are rear loaded townhomes.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

With possible AD use.

Planning and Development staff

Yes, ma'am, and they are limited at nine hundred square feet per the conditions of approval.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

Perfect.

Planning and Development staff

Just to th just to throw a wrench in there.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

Is that a double uh is that a double roundabout?

Planning and Development staff

It is. It's a figure eight roundabout.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

Wow.

Planning and Development staff

Don't ask me about that one, but Ted was Ted was kind enough to design that for us and says it's safe enough so we're excited about it.

S safe enough, right? There's the caveat. No. There is one variation request from this uh MPD from 901611 street design and dedication requirements. They're not proposing an interconnect Directly to the north or directly to the south. However, the Northern Interconnect is taken care of with this new alignment of Prospect Road. the the citizens that live in this development will be able to go north on Curly through that roundabout instead of connecting to there's an existing

dirt road along the northern boundary called Leonard, which is not in the Master Roadway Plan, and instead of impacting those residents that use it to privately access some single family residential the the residents will be accessing curly via the new alignment and no interconnect to the to the south because the applicant doesn't intend to develop the south. per this plan they wouldn't be able to unless they come in for a modification, so no southern access is uh required here. However, in the future residents would be able to access south both on Curley and

on Wort Wort Road, which is a vision road there on the eastern boundary.

Jack MarianoVice Chair

Mm-hmm. Yeah. So I I'm gonna say I I just came from development over off C Colony Roadlook and the connection. And there's a development to the side of it, almost almost like this here. And what we did was we put a Straight road going through to the other development. Now keep in mind the development drops down to the back. Is there about fairwinds? Uh or what's that what's that called? It's a different name. Bright Bright Brighton maybe? It's on the uh Uh eastern side.

And it's a little dip in i in the road behind the lots that are there that eventually is designed to though. To make a cut there. No, Work Road, if anybody's been down there, the connection point to that is going to be A long time coming. The connection in the road to this one here could be a long time coming. But if I can get a north south connection in skipping a double right rotary And eventually when that thing goes out fifty years later, so be it. I mean I think you should put a T there, put a fence there. But at least have

that access we can get out there. When it you know, it could it might be fifty years down the road, but

Kathryn StarkeyChair

No

Jack MarianoVice Chair

the north, yes.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

Well it does look like There there is a T in the neighborhood. That could maybe eventually one day go through.

Planning and Development staff

So are you talking about the existing Linux road intersection with the current alignment of prospect, if I'm if I'm hearing you correctly?

Jack MarianoVice Chair

To the left side of the picture we have the there's two green areas in it, two big s big rectangles. So the one to the left side of the screen going straight up as a road there.

Planning and Development staff

Yes sir, that that T intersection will be left there and Lennard will be untouched.

Jack MarianoVice Chair

But there's no tea, there's it's yellow there. I like it.

Planning and Development staff

Th this is a a current T intersection. It's tough to see with this aerial, but Leonard Road does travel along here to this T intersection where you can go up north to Uh current curly and then accesses these these homes down here. It'll it'll just be left untouched in its current condition just because it's not on the master roadway plan for the villages of Pascoena Hills.

Jack MarianoVice Chair

Uh but y it's you just don't listen, uh I don't think you get my point. The road that's above above it, there's no T connecting to there, at least that I can see.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

You talk about Leonard?

Jack MarianoVice Chair

Letter, I guess. There's no there's no north south connection potential for Leonard down the road.

There there's no road connection in the new development to go in up north south.

Mike Carballa

It runs off the screen. That's the T interception track.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

I think he's talking about the right-of-way.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

I'm gonna have a different question. It has to be with a multi use path.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

I'm on my iPad here.

Internal internal.

Planning and Development staff

So he wants you to connect to Leonard.

Colleen Weaver

Yeah.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

Is work a dirt road?

Planning and Development staff

Portions. It it's constructed in some southern segments and then in this area it is a dirt road.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

I we've we've had folks from Wort in here.

Planning and Development staff

Village Green was uh was one of those that was on work. My favorite.

Jack MarianoVice Chair

So

Kathryn StarkeyChair

right here. Not on this project, on on another project.

Jack MarianoVice Chair

So right here is no connection going that way. And I'm saying that maybe fifty years before it never connects, but eventually you should have a connection potential to open up there. The development I just saw at Hudson we just had approved. It goes into the edge of a neighborhood, kind of like this here, that may have may never connect. But they teed it out at the end, put markers at the end. They didn't even put the fence there, we should put the fence there.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

But you see you see where th there could be a connection? Go to your left. Right there. That could continue on one. Well why not just have it straight? Well, that's a major road there. That's curly. Sure. That's a really wide road. Cutting through the neighborhood. Yeah, you can't have that. I don't know.

I mean they've realigned curly. That's where I was going to do that.

No, I I think it could connect, but not with the matrix.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

It gets more complicated because of the realignment of prospect and curly. So William's gonna put up the other graphic that shows you the change in condition.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

But I but I I I I see what

But the hierarchy of roads is wrong for that to happen right there.

Planning and Development staff

Maybe this is a little more helpful. This is our right-of-way um Exhibit where the the existing and yellow is being uh moved now into the future.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

The yellow is current prospect. Correct. Joel, identify yourself with the Jo Joel to 4700 Ridge View Road, Palm Harbor, Florida, I have been sworn for the applicant. Just for clarification, the the yellow highlighted part is current existing Prospect Road. where it curves and goes north just to give you a little better of the existing condition. From what we're doing. And the Master Roadway Plan has always contemplated this change. It's always contemplated

Reconnecting, prospect to Curley at Virata. So we're we're simply implementing what the Mass Roadway Plan complicated uh contemplated. I get your point. The question is in the after condition, and that's all I'm suggesting, is look at this in the after condition. I think the concern is those folks along Work Road, they do not want to be integrated and connected. to the new project. They

they like their separate lifestyle and it's not just one or two. They're all along there. So again, I think if you're going to require a connection from our project up to Word, uh I suggest that we c we be cautious. I I was

Kathryn StarkeyChair

I think you should connect have a future up to Leonard and then one day that gets to the right.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

Well I meant I meant to Leonard, but see those people they live on Leonard and they access

Kathryn StarkeyChair

don't connect it now. Right. keep the ability to connect it

Unidentified speakerVoice A

till

Kathryn StarkeyChair

they come in.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

So the question is for Mike and Seth is do we have since we're Okay, we're not developing anything south of prospect to be able to rebuild the road, provide the floodplain, the drainage. We also have to provide for all that right-of-way for curly. So since we're pushing all the density north and do an all rear loaded product, my question for the developer is do they have a spot along the rear loaded that they could provide the

same type of right away, if you will, the same solution you had on the prior matter. but without constructing, because we do not want to be the ones to construct a connection to those people on work work road. I I'm not looking for a collection. I'm just looking for Let me ask if do they let me ask if they lose build if they lose a building or a unit in doing that. That's the question.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

Well I don't see why you would and and Jack and I may be talking about two different things. But the intent is the same.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

If you put up if you put up the C

Kathryn StarkeyChair

the concept plan

Unidentified speakerVoice A

go back to the binding plan and

Kathryn StarkeyChair

you look you look to the the um left

Unidentified speakerVoice A

leftmost

Kathryn StarkeyChair

units Right? That L.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

It would be between

And you can't do that. Tell me what is what is the the north your westernmost north south drive.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

Yes, that one. One day could if that property north of you

Unidentified speakerVoice A

see where she's became available, could you not

Kathryn StarkeyChair

extend your development into there and

Unidentified speakerVoice A

Yeah, like right-the no yeah, we're right no right on the that right there.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

It could one day maybe continue on into that land here.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

Yeah, we can provide

it.

I think the answer is yes.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

Yes.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

And they would they would alignment they would align it wherever our westernmost north south drive goes if you're okay with us picking that spot wherever that falls. D and just doing the right-of-way provision. That would be fine.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

Right? At least

Unidentified speakerVoice A

As long as it's not connected now cause that'll cause a lot of

Kathryn StarkeyChair

blowback

Unidentified speakerVoice A

blowback.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

Um I do have a question on multi-use trails. When I look at the map on Maratha

Unidentified speakerVoice A

They're just told about you getting the

Kathryn StarkeyChair

I don't understand their planning. I'm still working on that button. It looks like there's a multi use path around the traffic circle. But then it goes into s a sidewalk. And um And so would Who's building that who's building the new alignment?

Unidentified speakerVoice A

Uh we are

Kathryn StarkeyChair

following the The prescribed Design that has a multi-use path on one side?

Unidentified speakerVoice A

This right. This this realignment actually was already approved in the funding and development agreement which you approved uh this M Pud was pending at the time, but we contemplated this. So yes, Galvin is actually building this whole new road segment, exchanging right away, and all of that's already covered by the development agreement that you approved just a few months ago. Uh to exchange right away and we build it and the design Any questions you have about the double roundabout

and the design you need to discuss with the county engineer because we're doing what the county engineer has uh directed.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

Yeah. Okay. Questions from Commissioner Weightman.

Unidentified speakerVoice B

Madam Chairman M I I don't want to cut the commissioner off, but but they've star sort of started a presentation. I don't know if they have a presentation that they want to do or they just want to answer questions.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

We just want to answer their questions. Okay. Thank you.

Unidentified speakerVoice B

Good enough.

Seth WeightmanSecond Vice Chair

Okay. So questions about the road, probably less to to you guys, but to our our our county.

So this is a main path to the Northeast Transfer Station. You have walking floor trucks coming in and transferring trash and trucks getting to and from Northeast Transfer Station.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

What's that?

Seth WeightmanSecond Vice Chair

uh off hand cart and prospect is heavily traveled. So this double roundabout Which is Forgive my ignorance, I'm not even sure how the heck to even drive this thing uh based on this picture. Is this efficient enough to handle just that level of commercial traffic? to to get to and from 'em I mean you're talking tractor trailers they gotta figure out how to get two fifty two From there, unless you know, I don't know the timing of the ha of the

hand card extension to the new fifty two. But you're talking counting logistics and in essential services.

What these two roadways when they're built and then the and the path that they're going to go. We

Unidentified speakerVoice A

I guess that's more. Commissioner, if I may, uh I think we will have Hankart built before this. I think two fifty two correct. We're also obligated to I think we will have the new Hankart north to uh Clinton constructed prior to this so you could come straight out of that transfer station at Tyndall and Hancart and go straight under

Seth WeightmanSecond Vice Chair

construction.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

It's already under construction and and will be completed all the way to Clinton.

Seth WeightmanSecond Vice Chair

Okay. All right, good. That answers that question. Right. Okay. Thank you.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

So again just to kind of close the loop. This whole infrastructure, including this segment, was part of that eighty million dollar commitment that Galvin has already made under that master development agreement. And this is essentially an in-field project. And how we got where we are. is the Benedictine sisters would were not inclined to just sell the right away to the county. They wanted to sell the entire parcel in the way Galvin solved that for the county was Galvin stepped up and bought the entire

parcel And then decided they would make do as best they could with providing the right-of-way and then just developing the part they could develop. You know, for only

not very many units, it's a huge financial undertaking to solve this road problem. So that that's how we got there on this particular project. And as we said, all of those units are one hundred percent rear loaded, uh which of course is above and beyond meeting design desires. And this will be one thing about this Is assuming you can negotiate the double roundabout. I

Ron Oakley

can't figure it out.

Unidentified speakerVoice A

I have I've been around one in Scotland and I think maybe one in Ireland. Um but the the beauty of this, if you think about it, is this entry come in and off curly Murata. It's going to be really a dramatic entry in because this is the the northwest corner of VOPH. And so you're gonna have all of this green space to the south when you come around and make that entry and then the only thing you're gonna have to the left are these rear loaded products that all have front of house, you know, without driveway and without garages. So it's

gonna be visually it should be a very attractive window into V OPH. with a lot of green space on the south and rear loaded product so you're not looking at driveways and garage doors the minute you come into V O P H. So I think it's a good solution. for that property, 74% of this property will be open space. Almost three quarters of it. So I it's it's a substantial uh deal. So if there are

any other questions on this one, we're happy to answer them. The next one's also an infill project that relates to the ability to build hand cart, but we can talk about that in a moment.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

Um Okay. This is a a public hearing. Is there anyone else who wishes to speak to this? Item?

All right, well I'm just and it just hoping this developer would buy more and more land. So I'm glad to see him coming in. 'Cause I think he's doing what we envisioned that this neighborhood would be. So um Okay, and no one's online? No more public comment? All right, let's I'll take a motion.

Ron Oakley

Soon moved.

Jack MarianoVice Chair

Second.

Kathryn StarkeyChair

All in favor?

Unidentified speakerVoice A

Aye.

You need to add your

Jack MarianoVice Chair

right-of-way condition. Um I tell you what, I'm I'm gonna be comfortable with you guys figuring it out to let it go.
