Overpass, budget, permits, comp plan

1:47:11Yep. All right. Mr. Miles?

1:47:16Yes, sir. I'll just uh go over a couple of things real quick. Um if you drove up fifty-four or I'm sorry, seventy-five, you saw the construction going on at our Overpass Interchange. Just make sure everybody's aware that interchange will be open to traffic in summer twenty two. So that's just around the corner. It actually may be open to traffic before the Divergent Diamond. Yeah, but I said, I didn't I didn't want to go there, Commissioner. But that's I'm getting the same date on the Divergent Diamond finish. So Um as as you know, we

1:47:46started the twenty two budget process and we're kicking that off this month. Uh we will bring a presentation to the board to discuss revenue projections and stuff like that at the first March meeting. That's kind of the the plan at this point. as we move through the process. And then finally, I I sent I think all you kind of an update on building permits and calendar year twenty. Uh what I didn't send you and I just we just found out because Hillborough posts theirs as well is that actually the last quarter of twenty We issued 1,794

1:48:17single family residential permits. That same quarter, Hillsboro issued sixteen hundred and thirty-two single family new permits. We actually issued more permits that quarter than Hillsboro did on the single family home side. That that's mainly because we basically doubled year over year the number of permits we were pushing through building construction. In that time period. And they have

1:48:38a moratorium.

1:48:39Well they I mean they're still issuing significant permits there but they d they didn't see a jump of double like like we did over the last really six months in in BCS. And so as you know, we're working several things because you don't go from three hundred permits to six hundred permits and not have level service issues. So we're working several things to try to address level service issues, including, you know, one of the items you approved today, but also removing the administrative fee from the private providers for a short period of time to try to help offload some of that load. We're working on how do we

1:49:09streamload some other parts of the process as well. So just wanted to update you on that and that's all I have. Sorry. I have more good news, but I'll let I'll wait. We'll send it out later.

1:49:19Well that's a very important what you added on on the building construction going through all those permits 'cause they're stacked up and there's a lot of complaints not moving, but it's because you got such a backlog. permits coming in all the time. So Mr. Tazdone.

1:49:36Uh Mr. Chairman M Following up on Commissioner Moore's Um Survey results. Uh and just want to make it clear to the board that If the board sees the future of Pasco County differently than its current comp plan and land development code, it has the it has the policy choice to do that. But you need to do that through your comprehensive plan and your land development code. Yeah. you are going

1:50:06to be limited in the projects that are coming forward. in addressing them in the context of your land development code and comprehensive plan. um even if your constituents see a different vision for Pasco County. So

1:50:26What I'm saying is

1:50:30That's a legislative decision you're going to have to make. You don't make that decision on a project-by-project basis. There may be reasons not to approve a project. based on your current comprehensive plan and land development code, but Survey results are not going to be one of those things you can use. for that. I'm not sure. I'm sure that's not why the commissioner raised that that issue. I think he sees it as a larger policy discussion that the board needs to have. But

1:51:00I felt I needed to say that Especially going into this afternoon where there's a multifamily project on the right-of-way.

1:51:07Sure, sure. Mr. Chairman, let me just respond to that. And I appreciate that. And again, yes, this is you know, I looked at an overall area of, you know, multiple zip codes um for that survey. I think there was what was there, four? Yeah, and I have it on my list. For zip because some of that did go into, you know, like say Commissioner Starkey's district because it's right across, you know, it it's on fifty-six as well. Um And over in the area over uh in the Lutz area, you know, that's on the opposite side of District

1:51:372 as well as well. So yes, that is that. And yes, as you stated, Mr. Steinsnyder, there are um if things are inconsistent with the land development code, this board has the full authority to deny a project if they are inconsistent with the land development code. So if a project comes forward, And we can show those inconsistencies, we can deny those projects, um, which we have in the past. Um, but yes, that's that was more for um uh letting people know the feelings of the area. And

1:52:07you can always do things like moratoriums to move forward, but we're not going to talk about that right now. Unless somebody else wants to. That's all. Thank you. Okay,

1:52:16thank

1:52:16you.
