Public comment on waterways and Logan Outdoor billboards
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Okay. All right, now is the time for public comment. Citizens given opportunity to comment on any current or future agenda item coming before the board or any other business under the board's purview. Wouldn't anyone like to speak?
Mr. Chairman I do have three individuals signed up. One is uh for a resolution that's on consent. Uh do we want to pull that resolution during resolution time or would you like to do that now?
Um Let's pull the resolution.
Okay, so do we want it ha for the resolution or do you want to do it now?
We might as well do adjourn
the public comment, I would say. We could pull it. I'm sure board members have
during consent. Something to
say. Okay,
we could do
it.
This
needs
to know
by
the
Mike then um the first person that I have is Alan Rose, followed by I think it's Lalia Cluis. Could have gotten that wrong.
Good morning. Alan Rose, [address removed]. Today I'm just bringing more information forward about our waterways. This is mainly out on uh stormwater flooding and uh public health issues. Right now I'm following through with this uh because of what I experienced last year. Uh uh mosquito control benefit. Public health will benefit. Right now engineering for one we do rezoning. And Bringing all this new construction up into our area. The
engineers bring forward their designs. They bring forward their retention ponds and everything else that's required because it's over an impaired basin and what have you. But what they don't tell you is addressing a flooding issue. It's not addressing the water flow. And that's what's caused I I watched this and that's why I had to go digging. I went to DEP and I went to Swift Mutt to figure this all out. And then I was directed back to locals and uh Locals will tell you they have engineers engineers handling stormwater for their rezoning
development and the uh the engineers do a great job. It's beautiful designs with retention ponds and everything else. They they they handle pollution issues so well, yet they do not address the flow of water, which is not addressed causing upstream flooding and many other issues. They do comply with the EP needs, yet cause many flooding issues. And I personally watched this last year as I I watched Rocky Sink flow backwards and flood up into my neighborhood. And it h it was gonna get
worse and worse. There's there's more development schedule and it's been approved on uh Ridge Road and that's gonna cause more flooding upstream. Just wanted to bring that forward to you. These are things we should keep be aware of because I didn't know. And you're thinking you see these retention ponds. in all of this approval that's gone through. It's approval for pollution. It's approval for DEP. It's not approval for your flooding. So you're gonna gain flooding. as you rezone and harden the surrounding areas. Just wanted to bring that
to you. Thank you very much. Thank you.
Okay.
Lalia Cluis? Is that correct?
I do see that the item that you're here to speak on will be pulled during consent.
Doesn't matter. That would be that would be the only time they had
the opportunity to
speak
is now. And if I get another copy of that consent of the consent agenda polls, my one is like over there, I think.
Yeah, to I took all my pictures.
Good morning. Um yeah, my name is Claude Logan, and uh my address is [address removed]. Uh we are here um uh four Um The uh there's a an agenda memorandum for Logan Outdoor Advertising regarding um conversion to digital and I just wanted to make some comments regarding the Addenda memorandum
Um To date, three outdoor advertising companies have entered into the relocation and reconstruction agreement for quote unquote conversion to digital for A total of a hundred and six bulletins. Um I we're we're wondering if we are held to a higher standard. of uh scrutiny because um all six uh all of the hundred and six static bulletins from the three companies
and uh were were they sufficiently investigated regarding the legal status as to whether or not uh each was not subject to removal by other means. Um Uh following the pre-application meeting required, were all three companies deferred nine months for required Board of County Commissioners public meeting to consider application for a relocation and construction agreement. Um
We We feel like we've been held to a higher standard because Um the other companies uh that I inquired with were not. Um We we don't know why we were дифф деферд. Um But The the intent of the ordinance is to ultimately reduce the total number of billboard bulletins in Pasco County. If you uh now today approve Um our
request this will remove A total of Six bulletins. Um what the memorandum uh discussed, the agenda memorandum discussed was the uh bottom fifty percent of the requirement. Uh which is three uh bulletins. We um We have to add at our expense um three we have to remove three additional bulletins. So if you approve
this today, you will be approving for s the removal of six bulletins. um i uh uh uh uh in accordance with the with the ordinance w without Any further compliance issues? and and uh any lingering uh remaining legal controversy. It'll it'll all be over. Yeah, we we've done everything we've done everything that we Um were
required to do. Um we don't know why the we've we've been perplex as to why this has been delayed. Was that three minutes? Okay.
Okay. Thank you. Uh we don't comment on public comment, but I will tell you I will keep the item I was gonna pull it. I was gonna not pull it 'cause I was happy with the explanation, but so you can hear the explanation. Um I'll I'll I'll pull the item so you can hear the the at least the explanation. You won't be able to comment on it, but you can hear it.
Okay.
Thank you. All right. Thank
you for the opportunity.
We have uh David Lambert and John McCarthy.
