>> ANY OPPOSED? >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

I WANTED TO PULL THIS ITEM JUST TO KIND OF BRING THIS BACK UP ABOUT THE SCHEDULE OF FEES FOR MOBILITY FEES.

I SAID MY PIECE ON THIS WHEN WE HAD THE MOBILITY FEE STUDY, SOMETHING THAT I WAS EXTREMELY PASSIONATE ABOUT.

WE'VE HEARD THE COMMUNITY LOUD AND CLEAR WHEN THE COMMUNITY SAYS THEY WANT GROWTH TO PAY FOR ITSELF AND THIS ITEM IS WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN ACTION. IN TERMS OF THIS BOARD DECIDED

[00:55:05]

TO MAXIMIZE THOSE FEES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT OF THE LAW AND JUST SO THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THE STATE LEGISLATURE PASSED A BILL THAT LIMITS LOCAL COUNTY COMMISSIONS TO INCREASE MOBILITY FEES MORE THAN 50% OF WHAT THEY WERE ALREADY CHARGING THROUGH ALL OF THE BRIEFS THAT WE RECEIVED ON THIS TOPIC, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT PROBABLY EIGHT TO TEN YEARS AGO, YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS COMMISSION PROBABLY HAD A DIFFERENT OUTLOOK AND AFTER COVID THAT CHANGED THINGS AND IF THEY HAD A CRYSTAL BALL, THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE MADE SOME DIFFERENT DECISIONS. ITS BEEN OUR JOB TO GET THOSE BACK UP TO WHERE THEY ARE COMPETITIVE IN THE MARKET IN TERMS OF BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE.

WE'RE CONTINUING TO SEE EXTREMELY HIGH COSTS OF INFRASTRUCTURE SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DIVERSIFY OUR REVENUE STREAMS TO KEEP UP WITH THE GROWTH THAT I COMING.

MOST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE FOUR OF YOU FOR MAXIMIZING IT BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT THING WE NEED TO DO. AND ESPECIALLY AS WE MOVE FORWARD. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT.

I'LL MOVE APPROVAL OF AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 8.

>> I HAVE A MOTION. WE'LL MOVE ONTO DISCUSSION AND

WE ARE EXPECTING TO HAVE A FINAL PLAN SET AND A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE FROM THE CONTRACTOR TO BRING BACK TO THE BOARD LATER THIS SUMMER. AND LAST, THERE IS THE RENOVATION OF THE FIRST FLOOR AND ENTRY EXIT TO THE CLAY COUNTY COURTHOUSE. THE PROJECT WILL BUILD OUT, PROVIDE SECURITY ENHANCEMENTS, WHICH WILL INCLUDE THE ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS RENOVATING APPROXIMATELY 17,000 SQUARE FEET LOCATED HERE IN GREEN COAST SPRINGS.

CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS IS CURRENTLY AT 57% AND IS ON TRACK FOR COMPLETION IN THE FALL OF THIS YEAR.

AN UPDATE ON THE ROADWAY AND TRAIL PROJECTS.

>> OUR ROADWAY UPDATE STARTS OFF WITH THE NORMAL COUNTY BRIDGE REPLACEMENT AND FOUR LANING PROJECT.

IT'S ON SCHEDULE AND SHOULD BE -- IF YOU'VE DRIVEN IT, AND I THINK MR. BURKE HAS, IT'S MUCH IMPROVED.

AND IT'S GOING TO GET BETTER. THEY'RE FINISHING UP THE PAVING AT THE HANLEY ROAD INTERSECTION IN THE NEXT TWO TO THREE WEEKS.

THE BRIDGE IS 90% COMPLETE. AND WILL BE GOING THROUGH A FINAL DOT INSPECTION IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO.

SO THEY CAN THEN BE TRAFFIC CAN BE PLACED ON IT.

WE'RE STILL LOOKING TO FINISH UP THE AREA BETWEEN THE BRIDGE AND NIGHT BOX ROAD THAT HAS TO BE REBUILT.

WE'VE GOT REALLY GOOD PARTNER IN THIS DEAL WITH OUR FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOLKS AT DISTRICT TWO.

DURING THIS PROJECT, NOTHING IS NEW UNDERGROUND.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DIG UP.

WE DUG UP AN AT & T VAULT THAT WAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF THIS ROOM THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW WAS THERE. NIGHT BOX ROAD, WE FOUND OUT SOME PIPES HAD FAILED. THEY WEREN'T ON THE PLANS.

THEY WEREN'T RESPONSIBILITY OF DOT.

THEY ARE OWNED BY CLAY COUNTY. DOT STEPPED UP AND IT'S ABOUT A $310,000 AT NO COST TO THE COUNTY.

THAT WAS A VERY GOOD RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH THEM AND WE HOPE TO CONTINUE WITH.

[01:05:03]

THAT PROJECT IS ON SCHEDULE WITH FINAL COMPLETION TO THE INTERSECTION IN MID-JULY AND THE BRIDGE SHOULD OPEN IN MID-OCTOBER. TO BE COMPLETELY FINISHED.

A CONNECTER ROAD THAT WILL CONNECT THE ROUND-ABOUT ON TOWN CENTER BOULEVARD TO U.S. 17. IT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND THEY ARE -- THEY HAVEN'T BEEN BY THERE, IT'S A SIGHT TO SEE.

THEY'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK IN TE FIRST MONTH.

WE GOT A PICTURE OF THE VIEW FROM THE ROUND ABOUT.

IT'S ON SCHEDULE AND SHOULD BE COMPLETE NEXT SUMMER.

A LONG BAY IN OLD JENNINGS IMPROVEMENT IS ON SCHEDULE.

IT SHOULD BE FINISHED BY SEPTEMBER OF '26.

IT'S GOING VERY WELL. VERY GOOD.

THIS IS A NEW CONTRACTOR THAT JUST -- NOT NEW TO FLORIDA BUT NEW TO OUR DISTRICT. THEY CAME UP TO DO THE DISTRICT 2 WHICH ARE THE 18 COUNTIES FROM MADISON TO CLAY TO DUVAL, THAT NORTH PART OF FLORIDA AS IT MAKES THE CURVE AROUND TO THE PANHANDLE. THEY'VE DONE VERY WELL SO FAR.

AGAIN IT'S A VERY BUSY AREA, VERY TOUGH DURING PNP.

BE CAREFUL. DRIVE SLOW.

THAT WILL BE FINISHED UP IN THE NEXT FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS.

220 RESURFACING IS UNDERWAY AND IF YOU'RE NOT ONE OF THE 215,000 PEOPLE THAT TOLD US THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW THAT IT IS BEING -- THERE WAS A FAILURE OF THE EQUIPMENT DURING THE PAVING PROCESS. THEY'RE DOING IT AT NIGHT.

A SENSOR ON THE PAVING, OUR INSPECTOR NOTED IT.

IT CAME OUT. IT WAS BUMPY.

IT'S NOT A SMOOTH RIDE. THAT IS BEING RESURFACED AND REMILLED WITH NO COST TO THE COUNTY.

IT WAS UNACCEPTABLE. WHILE IT PASSED DOT SPECIFICATIONS, IT STILL WAS NOT THE RIGHT QUALITY WASN'T WHAT WE PAID FOR. THAT PORTION WILL BE COMPLETED

AFTER TOWN CENTER BOULEVARD. >> DOES THAT ADDRESS LOUIS CHIARELLI, HIS COMPLAINT ABOUT THE ROUGHNESS AT 220?

WE ANSWERED HIS QUESTION. >> HE'S BEEN ANSWERED DIRECTLY.

WE PUT OUT -- I PUT OUT SOMETHING TO COMMISSIONER THAT BASICALLY SAID IT'S BEEN ADDRESSED.

IT WAS NOTE THE BY OUR INSPECTOR.

AND IT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE-OF-AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONTRACTOR.

>> I EH REPLIED TO HIM. THEY'LL DOT MAIN LINE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE LAST THING ARE THE FINAL TURNOUTS ON BOTH TOWN CENTER AND SOME OF THE MEDIAN CROSSOVERS ON 2020.

IT FINISHED IN THREE WEEKS AND REDUCING AHEAD, THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE THE EQUIPMENT TO DOCTORS LAKE DRIVE.

THAT'S THE NEXT PROJECT ON THEIR LIST.

THE SIDEWALKS OUT ON BLUE JAY AND MALLARD DRIVE ARE COMPLETE.

THOSE WERE STARTED ON MONDAY, APRIL 6TH.

THEY WERE COMPLETED FRIDAY, MAY 7TH.

SO WE HAVE CHECKED THEM. THERE IS SOME STEEP SIDES ON THEM. THEY MEET ALL CRITERIA.

WITH THIS RAIN. WE'LL BE WATCHING THEM AND WE HAVE A WARRANTY ON THOSE AS WELL.

OUR DOT UPDATE STARTS WITH STILL HAVEN'T QUITE FINISHED UP ON THAT NORTHERN PART OF RESURFACING FROM 220 DOWN TO OAK LANE. I DON'T HAVE AN EXPLANATION.

BLACK CREEK BRIDGE COMING DOWN INTO THE CITY OF GREEN COVE AND ALL, THAT'S GOING WELL. YOU NOTICE A LOT OF WORK AT THE INTERSECTION AT 209. WE WENT OVER THAT WITH THE COUNT MANAGER AND THE COUNTY ATTORNEY GOT TO SEE WHAT'S GOING TO BE THERE AND IT'S GOING TO BE VERY DIFFERENT.

AND YOU CAN TELL BY THE WORK IN THE MEDIAN AS YOU PASS THERE.

THERE'S SOME IMPROVEMENT TO GO. AND THAT IS SCHEDULED TO BE FINISHED BY THE END OF THIS YEAR.

[01:10:03]

BY THE END OF DECEMBER OF '26. >> THE NEW SECTION.

THEY COULD BE OPEN SOONER JOOCHLTD

>> DOLT WILL BE DONE? >> YES.

AS YOU COME DOWN, IF YOU GO INTO DOWNTOWN GROWN COVE, YOU'LL NOTICE SOME BARRELS OUT THERE AND SOME NEW STRIPING.

THAT'S GOING TO BE -- THERE AB A MEDIAN THERE TO RESTRICT YOUR LEFT TURNS AND TO ENHANCE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IN THAT PART OF DOWNTOWN GREEN COVE SPRINGS. THAT IS NOT TEMPORARY.

THAT WILL BE PERMANENT AND HOPEFULLY THE CITY IS TRYING TO GET SOME LANDSCAPING PROJECTS THAT WE'VE NOTICED ON 17.

NORTH OF THE COUNTY LIMIT. WE WANT TO SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME OF THAT INVOLVED. SO THE PROJECT IS 65% COMPLETE.

THEY'RE CONTINUING UP ON THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE MEDIAN AND IT'S ON SCHEDULE SHOULD BE FINISHED IN THEIR DATE IS

NOVEMBER 4TH OF THIS YEAR. >> DECEMBER OR NOVEMBER.

>> NOVEMBER 4TH. PIEB

>> 16 RESURFACING AND PROJECT. CURRENTLY THEY'RE WORKING FROM -- I THINK THEY'VE GONE TO THE HIGH SCHOOL ALMOST.

THEY'RE PUTTING A LOT OF PAVEMENT DOWN.

DOING VERY WELL. WE DID MEET WITH ONE SUBJECT DID COME UP ABOUT THE TURNING RADIUS THERE AT 218 AS YOU'RE SOUTH OPT 18 TURNING RIGHT TO GO TO CAMP BLANDING.

THEY SHIFTED THE LANE FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON 16 OVER TO CREATE THE LEFT TURN LANE. THAT MAKES IT VERY TIGHT FOR TRAILERS AND LARGER VEHICLES. THE DOT WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. JIM'S COMMENT WAS I'M SURPRISED THEY MISSED THAT. WE MAY BE GETTING SOME CHANGES AT THAT INTERSECTION. THE LEFT TURNING LANE WILL NOT BE COMING THROUGH. IT'S MADE A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE. I THINK THE OPENING OF CATHEDRAL OAK HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE USING THAT ROUTE TO BYPASS AND GET

FLEMING ISLAND QUICKER. >> WHAT CAN THEY DO? WILL THEY JUST MOVE THE CURB ON THE RIGHT TURN?

>> THEY'LL REWORK THAT. IF YOU NOTICE THERE'S NO SIDEWALK ON THAT SIDE OF THE ROAD.

BUT THERE IS A WHEELCHAIR RAMP. THEY'LL BE ABLE TO WORK THAT AND

PROBABLY PAVE IT. >> OKAY.

>> THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF CURB. THERE'S NO CURB ON 218.

THE CURB BEGINS THERE. JIM'S COMMENT WAS, WE CAN PAVE THAT OUT FOR THE TRAILER WHEELS AND THE REAR WHEELS TO DRAG

OVER. >> I HAPPEN TO SEE THERESA SCOTT LAST WEEK. PENNY FARMS ARE VERY HAPPY ALSO.

THEY SAID THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> GOING THROUGH PENNY FARMS, IT DOES LOOK A LOT BETTER. THEY ARE LOOKING AHEAD, WE GOT WHEN THAT BEGINS, THAT WILL BE NIGHT WORK AS WELL.

WITH ABOUT A FOUR TO SIX-WEEK TIMEFRAME.

>> THEY'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

ANY QUESTIONS? >> IS THAT LIGHT GOING UP TO

BEFORE THEN? >> IT WILL GO UP AND IT WILL BE INTERESTING. YOU GOT TO LEARN YOUR WAY AROUND. YOU'RE COMING SOUTH FROM ORANGE PARK TO GO TO THE BLUFF, YOU WILL HAVE TO TURN YOUR LEFT TURN WILL BE NORTH OF THE INTERSECTION ONTO OLD RIVERSIDE

COMES IN. >> THE FORK?

>> THE FORK. >> YOU WON'T GO UP TO THE LIGHT

AND TURN? >> NOT THERE.

THE LIGHT WAS TO ACCOMMODATE LEFT TURNING SOUTHBOUND INTO

GREEN COVE TRAFFIC. >> IF YOU CAN GO THROUGH THIS.

WE'RE AT 90% DONE ON THE BRIDGE. BUT IT'S NOT GO BE GOING TO BE

USABLE UNTIL OCTOBER. >> YOU GOT TO HAVE ROADS TO GET TO THE BRIDGE. I THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING

[01:15:09]

PROJECTS OVERLAPPING. >> BRIDGE WAS A SEPARATE SUBCONTRACTOR. THEY WERE ABLE WITH NO TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD, THEY WERE ABLE TO BUILD THE BRIDGE NOTHING STOPPED THEM. SO THEY BUILT THE WEST HALF FIRST. FROM THE DOLLAR GENERAL TO THE BRIDGE. THAT'S THE FOUR LANING IN FRONT OF THAT AREA DID HAVE TRAFFIC ON IT.

NOW THEY'RE SHIFTING THEIR RESOURCES TO THE NIGHT BOX SIDE AND THAT'S WHY THEY FOUND THE DRAINAGE.

YOU'LL ALSO NOTICE THAT LATE THERE BY THE NIGHT BOX SAFE

ANIMAL SHELTER IS WAY DOWN. >> THERE'S WILL ARE A ROAD THERE. WE'RE WIDENING IT.

>> IT'S NOT THERE NOW. THE NEW DRAINAGE SYSTEM COMPLETELY WIPED THAT ROAD OUT. THAT ROAD HAD TO BE KEPT IN PLACE. IT SHOULD GO QUICK.

WE'RE HOPING WITH GOOD WEATHER WE'LL GET THAT FINISHED UP.

>> YOU MENTIONED AT AND T VAULT. WHERE WAS THAT AT?

>> IT WAS IN THAT AREA THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BETWEEN THE

BRIDGE ON THE NIGHT BOX SIDE. >> ON THE NIGHT BOX SIDE.

>> UNDER THE ROAD. >> WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THERE?

>> AT AND T DIDN'T KNOW. >> ON THE CONSTRUCTION SITE.

YOU KNOW WHERE THE LAST DRIVEWAY TO THE RIGHT GOES UP.

THERE'S A RENTAL PROPERTY THERE. I'LL GET STEVE TO TAKE YOU.

>> THE PHONE BOOTH. >> TIME CAPSULE.

>> MY MOM'S PHONE. SHE DOES HAVE THE LAST LAND

LINE, I THINK. >> THEY HAVE THEM ALL THROUGH FOX MEADOW BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO CELL SERVICE.

IT'S AN ISSUE IN THERE. >> FOX MEADOW WILL HAVE THE RESURFACING TEAM GO IN THERE AFTER THE DOCTOR'S LAKE.

IT SHOULD BE IN THE JUNE/JULY TIMEFRAME.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> I DID. >> MY DISTRICT AGAIN.

ALSO A CONTINUATION REQUESTED. >> GOOD EVENING.

THIS ITEM IS GOING CONTINUATION TO THE JULY 7TH PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING SO THIS WOULD BE GOING YOU TO CONTINUE IT TO

THE SECOND JULY BOARD MEETING. >> I FORGET THE DATE.

>> WHICH WOULD BE? THE 28TH.

>> OKAY. >> OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ANYONE? CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD. >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE THE ITEM TO THE JULY 7TH PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND THEN JULY 28TH COUNTY COMMISSION MEETING.

>> SECOND THE MOTION. >> MOTION IS SECOND.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> I WOULD VOTE AYE.

I WANTED TO COMMENT ON SOMETHING THT CAME UP WITH THIS ITEM AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING FOR THE SAKE OF THE PUBLIC.

THERE WAS A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WHO CAME UP TO SPEAK ON THIS

[01:20:03]

TIC TICKTUM PARTICULAR ITEM AND ASKED THE PLANNING COMMISSION NOT TO APPROVE THE CONTINUANCE.

I WANTED TO CLARIFY FOR THE PUBLIC THAT ANYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO REQUEST A ZONING CHANGE, WHATEVER, AND THE RIGHT TO BE HEARD. AND BY DOING THAT, THAT DENIES THEM THEIR DUE PROCESS. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS IT THAT PERSON IS NOT HERE TONIGHT.

I DON'T THINK THAT -- I DO BELIEVE THAT IT WAS ADDRESSED AT

THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. >> I HAD A MOTION TO SECOND.

[17. Public Hearing on Petition to Vacate a Portion of Florida Farms and Industries Company's Property Plat (R. Smith/C. Grimm)]

ANY OPPOSED? >> WE'LL MOVE ONTO 17.

PUBLIC HEARING ON PETITION TO VACATE A PORTION OF FLORIDA FARMS AND INDUSTRIES COMPANY'S PROPERTY.

>> THIS IS A REQUEST TO VACATE A PORTION OF THE FLORIDA FARMS AND INDUSTRIES COMPANIES' PLAT WHICH WAS RECORDED IN 1923.

THE PETITION WAS FILED BY THE REINHOLD CORPORATION.

THE PORTION OF THE PLAT FOR THE PETITION IS APPROXIMATELY 177 ACRES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE DO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE APPLICANT.

OTHERWISE JUST A PUBLIC HEARING. >> WOULD YOU ALL LIKE TO SPEAK AT ALL? YOU'RE GOOD? OKAY. I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

COME ON UP. >> THANK YOU.

MY NAME IS JOHN GROSS. I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE CLAY COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS. MY ADDRESS IS 2566 STATE ROAD 16 WEST AND THE REINHOLD PEOPLE HAVE SENT ME A MAP OF THE PROPERTY LINES THAT'S BEEN SENT TO ME AND THERE'S A PORTION ON HERE THAT SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT VACATING AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE'S ANY REINHOLD PEOPLE OR YOURSELF THAT CAN GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT THE VACATING MEANS WITH THE PROPERTY BECAUSE MY PROPERTY LINE IS RIGHT ON THE WEST SIDE OF REINHOLD PROPERTY. I HAVE 1200 FEET GOING STRAIGHT

DOWN, STRAIGHT NORTH. >> SO I BELIEVE THAT YOUR PROPERTY IS OUTSIDE OF THE PLATTED PORTION AND YOU WERE JUST PROVIDED NOTICE BECAUSE WITHIN THE PORTION IN YOUR NOTICE THAT WAS IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THE PLAT, THAT WILL JUST BE VACATED, MEANING IF YOU LOOKED AT THE PLAT, THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF LOTS. IT DOESN'T AFFECT YOUR PROPERTY, ANYTHING WITH YOUR PROPERTY. IF YOU HAVE ANY PARTICULAR QUESTIONS, MRS. FRASER OR MR. O'RILERY ARE RIGHT BEHIND YOU AND THEY PROBABLY SENT YOU THE LETTER.

>> THE REASON I ASKED THAT IS BECAUSE THEY CAME AND DID ALL THE SURVEYING ON THERE AND I KNOW WHERE MY PROPERTY LINE IS AND I KNOW WHERE THEIR FENCE LINE WAS, BUT SUDDENLY THERE'S BEEN STAKES AND PUT IN THE GROUND ON MY PROPERTY SO THEY CAME IN ABOUT FIFTEEN FEET ON MY PROPERTIED.

THAT'S GOING TO BE MY QUESTION. >> OKAY.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> SURE.

ANYONE ELSE? ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SPEAK? I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD.

WE'RE JUST VACATING THE PLAT. WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH PROPERTY IN LINE. THAT'S BETWEEN THE TWO PROPERTY OWNERS. I'LL MOVE WE VACATE THE PLAT.

>> SECOND. >> MOTION AND SECOND.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ONTO 18. IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEAK FOR 18 OR 19, YOU'LL NEED TO BE SWORN IN.

SO PLEASE COME TO THE CENTER OF THE ROOM FOR THAT.

>> RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. >> SO 18 IS FINAL PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ADOPTION OF COMP 26-00 1 AND 000 IT.

[01:25:01]

2. >> THANK YOU.

THE APPLICANT FOR THIS ITEM IS JOSH COCKERILL.

THE PROPERTY'S AT 4640 COUNTY ROAD 218 IN MIDDLEBURG.

THAT'S IN COMMISSIONER CONDON'S DISTRICT.

THERE ARE TWO PORTIONS TO THIS APPLICATION.

THERE IS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 26-1 WHICH WOULD CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE FROM THE PROPERTY FROM RURAL RESIDENTIAL TO INDUSTRIAL. AND THEN THE SECOND PORTION IS PU D-26-2 AND THAT WOULD CHANGE THE ZONING FROM PRIVATE SERVICES PS1 TO PLANNED INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.

SIGNS WERE POSTED AND LETTERS MAILED TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS. THE AERIAL ON THE LEFT SHOWS YOU WHERE THE SITE IS IN RELATION TO THE OTHER PARCELS.

THE RIGHT IS JUST THE PARCEL MAP.

ON THE LEFT IS THE EXISTING FUTURE LAND USE WITH THE RR IN YELLOW. AND ON THE RIGHT IS THE PROPOSED LAND USE CHANGE TO INDUSTRIAL WHICH IS THE PURPLE COLOR.

ON THE LEFT IN THIS PAIR IS THE EXISTING ZONING WHICH IS THE PS1 AND ON THE RIGHT IS THE PROPOSED PID.

THIS IS THE SITE PLAN THAT IS A PART OF THE ORDINANCE.

IT'S EXHIBIT B2. SHOWING THE POTENTIAL LOCATION FOR SOME BUILDINGS. THEY ARE NOT THERE NOW.

THEN ALSO FUTURE POTENTIAL AREAS FOR THE MULCHING STAGING AREAS.

SO THIS USE IS NOT SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT IN OUR CODE ANYWHERE.

WHEN THE APPLICANT FIRST CAME TO US, THERE WAS TALK ABOUT PUTTING IT AS RECYCLING UNDER ZONING FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL, IB.

THE CODE ALSO HAS LAND CLEARIG DEBRIS OFFSITE DISPOSAL FACILITY, LONG MOUTHFUL. IT WOULD BE AN IDEAL ZONING DEFINITION; HOWEVER, BECAUSE IT ADDRESSES VEGETATIVE MATTER, RESULTING FROM LAND CLEARING, BUT THEN IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS THAT THAT IS FOR A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

THE SECOND SENTENCE EXCLUDES ANY VGETATIVE MATTER FROM LAWN MAINTENANCE, COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL, LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE, RIGHT OF WAY MAINTENANCE, NURSERY OPERATIONS, ANY SOURCE THAT ISN'T FROM A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

SO THAT ALSO DOESN'T WORK FOR THIS APPLICANT BECAUSE HE'S NOT GOING TO STAND AT HIS GATE AND ASK WHERE DID THIS LOAD OF TREE BRANCHES COME FROM? SO IN THE END AFTER SOME ADDITIONAL CONVERSATION WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WE WOUND UP WITH THE FABATRICATION OF MATERL USED IN THE BUILDING TRADES.

IT'S A DISTRICT THAT'S INTENDED FOR LIGHT MANUFACTURING AND WHOLESALING. IT INCLUDES THE USES IN IS, WHICH IS THE INDUSTRIAL SELECT SECTION.

THERE'S A LONG LIST OF TYPES OF USES THAT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THIS. YOU CAN SEE THERE INCLUDES THE BUILDING TRADES, BUT INCLUDES YACHT MANUFACTURING, FURNITURE MANUFACTURING, METAL WORKING, FARM MACHINERY, COLD STORAGE WAREHOUSES AND THEN THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL LIST OF POTENTIAL USES, MILLS, PRIVATE UTILITIES, MARINE, BOAT YARD, INCINERATORS, IF THEY'RE AN ACTION ACCESSORY. THERE ARE FOUR CONDITIONAL USES UNDER IA, PUBLIC ASSEMBLY, RESIDENTIAL DWELLING INTENDED TO BE LIKE A SECURITY SITE, AUCTIONS AND RECREATIONAL VEHICLE AND BOAT STORAGE. SO ON MARCH 16TH, THE MIDDLEBURG CAC VOTED 6-0 TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE COMP PLAN APPLICATION AND ON APRIL IT 0 HE 20 THEY VOTED 8-0 TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REZONING PORTION FOR THE PUD.

ON MAY 5TH, THEN THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED 6-0 TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM WITH FOLLOWING CHANGES: THEY RECOMMENDED A LIST OF PERMITTED USES BE AMENDED TO THOSE LISTED

[01:30:01]

AS PERMITTED IN LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND THAT THE LIST OF CONDITIONAL USES INCLUDE THE LAND CLEARING DEBRIS OFFSITE DISPOSAL FACILITY. IN THE PID, THE APPLICANT IS PERMITTING ALL THE -- EXCUSE ME, PROPOSING TO HAVE PERMITTED ALL THE USES IN THE LIGHT IA, WITH THE CONDITIONAL USES THAT ARE ALREADY ALLOWED AND THE ADDITION OF THE LAND CLEARING DEBRIS FACILITY.

THE PRINCE EDWARD PID ALSO INCOA 6-FOOT PRIVACY FENCE TO BE PROVIDED WITH A 15-FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND A PERIMETER BUFFER OF 15 FEET OF UNDISTURBED VEGETATIVE MATTER TO BE PROVIDE ADJACENT TO LOTS THAT ARE ZONED RESIDENTIAL OR AGRICULTURAL WITH A 6-FOOT HIGH EARTHEN BURM AND THE EDGE OF THE DISPOSAL FACILITY MAY NOT BE LOCATED AT ANY POINT CLOSER THAN 50 FEET TO THE RIGHT-OF-WAY EASEMENT, ACCESS POINT OR THE PROPERTY LINE. 0 STAFF HAS LOOKED AT THE CRITERIA FINDS THEM TO HAVE BEEN MET AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL AND EVER WITH THE CHANGES THAT WERE RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. THOSE CHANGES WERE INCORPORATED IN THE ORDINANCE VERSION THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU.

AND IN THE WRITTEN STATEMENT THAT IS A PART OF THAT.

SO THE APPLICANT IS HERE, I BELIEVE, FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU

MIGHT HAVE. >> THANK YOU.

DISWOO. >> GOOD EVENING, JOSH CONCHERILL, JACKSONVILLE. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING. IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE ALE OF YOU SO THANK YOU AGAIN. I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY OF GAS AND TREE DEBRIS RECYCLING AND WHERE WE SEE GOING TOWARDS THE FUTURE. GAS AND TREE DEBRIS HAS BEEN FOR YEARS AND THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN USED AS A PROCESSING EVER FACILITY SERVING OF THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS.

WE HAVE OPERATED A CLOSED LOOP RECYCLING SYSTEM BY DIVERTING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TONS OF VEGETATIVE DEBRIS AND WASTE FROM OUR LOCAL LANDFILLS, CONVERTING IT INTO MULCH AND BIOMASS FUEL.

THIS EXTENDS THE LIFESPAN OF LANDFILLS AND REDUCES THE COMMUNITY AWE OVERALL FOOTPRINT. IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PERMITTED -- THE FIRST PERMITTED YARD ACTUALLY IN THE GAINESVILLE FACILITY AND HAS SINCE EXPAND THOUGHT THE STATE OF FLORIDA, HAVE THE LARGEST FOOTPRINT OF ANY FACILITY IN OUR STATE, TO GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND. FROM GOVERNMENTS TO THEIR OWN FACILITY VEHICLES AND EMPLOYEES TO YOUR TREE TRIMMERS AND SO FORTH, BRING STORM DEBRIS OR YOUR TREE DEBRIS WHENEVER THEY TRIM YOUR TREES TO THIS FACILITY TO BE TURNED INTO MULCH THAT THEN GETS SHIPPED OFF OR -- AND BAGGED TO BE USED FOR YOUR LANDSCAPING, FOR EXAMPLE. THIS FACILITY SERVES AS A LOCALIZED STAGING AND PROCESSING SITE, ENSURING THAT NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS ARE CLEARED OF HAZARDOUS DEBRIS RATHER THAN BEING ILLEGALLY DUMPED. THIS FACILITY SUPPORTS OUR LOCAL ECONOMY, PROVIDING STABLE HIGHWAYS AND JOBS.

FURTHERMORE PROVIDING DROP-OFF POINTS FOR... AND REDUCING OPERATIONAL AND TRAVEL TIMES. MOST IMPORTANTLY IS HOW WE GOT HERE. THEY HAVE BEEN HERE -- NO COMPLAINT OVER 20 PLUS YEARS SERVING THE COMMUNITY, HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS. BACK IN THE LATE SUMMER, THEY HIRED A COMPANY TO DROP A 10 TO 20-FOOT BUILDING, A SHED ONTO THE SITE, AND THE COMPANY DID THE RIGHT THING, THEY PULLED A PERMIT. CODE ENFORCEMENT SAID WAIT A MINUTE, YOU'RE NOT ZONED PROPERLY.

MY CLIENT HAD NO IDEA THAT THEY WERE NOT ZONED PROPERLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

THEY RECEIVED LETTER AFTER LETTER SAYING IF YOU DON'T COME INTO COMPLIANCE WE'RE SHUTTING YOU DOWN.

I MET WITH JENNY RILE AN WHEN SHE WAS WITH YOU AND TALKED TO HER ABOUT BACK IN EARLY JANUARY FOLLOWING AN APPLICATION TO REZONE THE PROPERTY TO IA BASED ON HER EXPERTISE.

SEEING THIS FACILITY AS USEFUL -- THE CONSTRUCTION TRADE AND SO FORTH AS A FABRICATION FACILITY FOR MATERIALS USED IN

[01:35:03]

THE TRADE. WE FILED IT, WE DECIDED TO GO ONTO DRC EARLY EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT REQUIRED FOR A FOR CONVENTIONAL REZONING TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE FUTURE AS WE COME OUT OF THIS PROCESS.

THE TIME JENNY WAS NO LONGER WITH US, THE STAFF SUGGESTED WE GO IB. WE RE-APPLIED AS IB, WENT TO CCAC THE FIRST TIME WHERE THEY APPROVED US FOR THE LAND USE CHANGE BUT THEY QUESTIONED WHY ARE WE GOING HAVING INDUSTRIAL ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL. I TOO QUESTIONED THAT, NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY WE WOULD DO SO BUT WE TOOK THEIR RECOMMENDATION AS WELL AND WENT BACK TO STAFF AND FILED THE PID THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU, SO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AT HAND.

WE WASN'T BACK TO THE CCAC AFTER FILING THE PID.

TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW THINGS, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE ZONING MAP HERE, WE HAVE EI ADJACENT TO US, ABUTTING OUR PROPERTY TO THE WEST. THAT PROVIDES ALL OF THE CURRENT USES THAT WE ARE REQUESTING IN THE PID WE WENT BACK TO BASICALLY WHAT WE ORIGINALLY APPLIED FOR BUT WHAT WAS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF, ORIGINALLY NOT TO HAVE THE IA.

THERE IS NO LAND DEBRIS -- THERE'S ONLY TWO TYPE OF USES THAT ARE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR AND THAT'S THE LAND DEBRIS RECYCLING AND THERE IS A RECYCLING FACILITY BUT THIS USE IS ACTUALLY SILENT IN OUR CODE THAT WE PROVIDE.

AND SO BRINGING THAT UP INTO PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF AGREED WITH US, AGREED WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AS YOU'VE SEEN IN THE REPORT THAT THAT IS THE BEST USE.

SO THE WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR YOU TODAY IS APPROVAL FOR THE PID WHICH DOES ADDRESS THE CURRENT STATE OF THE PROPERTY TODAY, OUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE TO ADD UP TO 7500 SQUARE FEET BUILDINGS ON THERE TO FURTHER ENHANCE OUR OPERATION FOR OUR MULCHING AND DYEING PROCESS, TO BE ABLE TO PUT OUR HEAVY MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT INTO THE BUILDINGS AS WELL.

AND THEN ALSO TO HIRE ADDITIONAL FOLKS.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ONE EMPLOYEE ON SITE.

OUR PLANS ARE TO ADD UP TO NINE EMPLOYEES AND THESE WILL BE HIGH-WAGE JOBS. THERE'S THE RETAIL SALES ON SITE. WE ARE HEAVILY REGULATED BY DEP.

THEY AUDIT US MONTHLY AND I DO HAVE ADAM SMITH HERE WITH THEM TO ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE OTHERWISE. THIS IS A MATTER OF US COMING INTO COMPLIANCE, BUT ALSO SINCE WE'RE HERE WITH THE PID WE ARE SEEK ADDITIONAL APPROVAL TO CONTINUE OPERATING INTO THE FUTURE AND GROW WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU.

WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE LIKE TO SPEAK? CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD.

>> MADAME CHAIR, I HAVE QUITE A BIT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY ON THIS. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO CORRECT THE RECORD, BECAUSE I REMEMBER GETTING CALLS FROM YOU, JOSH, ABOUT YOU DIDN'T WANT TO GO THE CAC AND YOU DIDN'T WANT TO DO A PID SO YOU FOUGHT IT TOOTH AND NAIL.

AND SO I WANT TO CORRECT THE RECORD, AS IT WASN'T OUR STAFF THAT WAS RESISTANT. IT WAS THE APPLICANT.

AND I WENT BACK AND WATCHED THE PLANNING COMMISSION, BECAUSE YOU CALLED ME LAST WEDNESDAY MORNING AT 8:08 A.M., AND ASKED ME, DID I WATCH IT. AND I WAS BUSY, SO I DIDN'T WATCH IT. SO I WENT BACK AND WATCHED IT.

AND ON BEHALF OF OUR STAFF, I AM GREATLY OFFENDED AT HOW YOU TREATED OUR STAFF, BECAUSE THERE IS NO HOUR, YOU MENTIONED "OUR CODE", YOU DON'T LIVE IN CLAY COUNTY AND YOU CAN DO BUSINESS IN CLAY COUNTY, WE WELCOME BUSINESS IN CLAY COUNTY, BUT THEY ARE OURS AND YOU WERE DISRESPECTFUL AND CONDESCENDING AND YOU WERE TONIGHT AGAIN. AND YOU'RE TRYING TO BLAME OUR STAFF FOR THIS. YOU SAID YOURSELF GASSEN GOT LETTER AFTER LETTER FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT AND THEN THEY DECIDED TO HIRE YOU TO FIX IT. IT'S NOT THE COUNTY'S PROBLEM THAT THEY WERE NOT IN COMPLIANCE.

MOST PEOPLE THOUGHT THEY WEREN'T DOING BUSINESS THERE ANYMORE BECAUSE NOTHING HAD GONE ON THERE.

SO THEN WHEN THEY DROPPED THE BUILDING, OF COURSE WE HAVE TO FOLLOW OUR PROCESS. I DISAGREE THAT THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS.

OF THE LAST THICK THING THAT I O SEE IS CONCRETE CRUSHING GOING

[01:40:02]

ON IN THERE, WHICH IS HEAVY INDUSTRIAL WORK, ORION, THE OR T KNOW, THE GRINDING UP OF TOILETS OR TWO BY FOURS OR WHATEVER, THIS IS ABOUT TREE DEBRIS AND MULCH.

AND MAYBE OUR CODE NEEDS UPDATING AND WE KNOW IT DOES, WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO THAT, WE'VE PUT IN PLACE JUST RECENTLY A CONTRACTOR, AN ENGINEER CONTRACTOR TO DO THAT.

BUT TO TALK DISRESPECTFULLY TO OUR STAFF, IT JUST -- YOU'RE JUST NOT GOING TO GET PLACES THAT WAY.

I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE OF GASTON AND THE WORK THAT THEY DO IN MY DISTRICT AND THE PEOPLE THAT THEY EMPLOY IN THEIR DISTRICT, BUT DON'T TALK TO OUR STAFF THAT WAY ANYMORE.

THAT'S NOT OKAY. AND THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T CALL YOU BACK TODAY, BECAUSE I WAS NOT GOING TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION, AND I SEE YOUR BODY LANGUAGE RIGHT NOW, THAT YOU DON'T LIKE ME SAYING THIS ON THE BOARD FLOOR, YOU KNOW WHAT, THEY'RE PAYING YOU A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY TO GET US TO VOTE YES ON THIS.

AND YOU COULD BE RESPECTFUL TO OUR STAFF.

AND I'M NOT JUST POINTING AT DODI.

WE HAVE A LOT OF PLANNING STAFF. BUT IT MAKES ME SAD THAT SHE HAD TO DO THAT AND SHE HAS TO DO HER JOB AND DOES A VERY GOOD JOB OF IT. PLANNERS ARE -- FOR THE PUBLIC, PLANNERS ARE VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TO COME BY TODAY, AND THE ONES WHO ARE WILLING TO STAY WITH COUNTY GOVERNMENT AND WORK IN COUNTY GOVERNMENT, WE APPRECIATE THEM AND RESPECT THEM, BECAUSE THEY CAN MAKE A TON MORE MONEY OUT IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR. AND SO IT'S REALLY TRULY A SERVICE AND MAYBE PEOPLE JUST AREN'T MAJORING IN THAT IN COLLEGE ANYMORE, BUT OUR STAFF, I THINK, ARE SOME OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS AND I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU DO.

I'LL MOVE APPROVAL. >> ALL RIGHT, I HAVE A MOTION.

>> IS IT FOR THE CALL? >> YEAH.

>> ALL RIGHT, I HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND FOR A --

>> COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. >> OKAY, ALL MOST ALL IN FAVOUR? ANY OPPOSED? A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FOR

ZONING? >> I'LL MOVE APPROVAL.

>> JUST TO MAKE SURE THE MINUTES REFLECT IT CORRECTLY IT'S FOR THE PUD AND NOT THE ZONING. THANK YOU.

ALL IN FAVOUR SAYS AYE. OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT, MOTION PASSES. 4-1.

[19. Final Public Hearing to consider COMP 26-0003 and PUD 26-0001. (District 4, Comm. Condon) (B. Carson)]

ALL RIGHT. WE WILL MOVE ON TO NUMBER 19, FINAL PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER COMP 26-0003 AND PUD 26-0001.

COMMISSIONER CONDON'S DISTRICT. >> THANK YOU, MADAME CHAIR.

THIS IS A SMALL SCALE COMPREHENSIVE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT, AS WELL AS A REZONING TO PUD.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEARD THIS ITEM AT THEIR MAY 5TH MEETING. THE APPLICANT FOR THIS IS D ANDERSON DEVELOPMENT. THEY'RE THE OWNER, COLIN GROFF IS THE AGENT FOR THEM. THE LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY IS BLANDING BETWEEN TREAT ROAD AND GAS LINE ROAD, IN THE MIDDLE BURG-CLAY HILL DISTRICT. IT'S COMMISSIONER CONDON'S DISTRICT. THERE ARE TWO PARCELS THAT ARE INVOLVED AND AS I SAID THERE'S TWO STEPS.

THERE'S A COMP PLAN AMENDMENT, WHICH WOULD CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF 14 ACRES OF ONE OF THE PAR KELLS FROM AG RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL, AND THEN THERE'S A PUD APPLICATION WHICH WOULD CHANGE THE ENTIRE ACREAGE, 60.49 ACRES FROM COMMERCIAL AND PROFESSIONAL OFFICE BA-2 AND RURAL ESTATES AR-2 TO PLANNED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

THE MAP ON THE LEFT IS THE NOTIFICATION MAP FOR THE PUD BECAUSE THAT COVERED ALL THE ACREAGE.

THE LIST ON THE RIGHT IS THE OVERALL LISTING OF WHO WE CONTACTED. AND THE POSTING OF THE SIGNS.

THE MAP ON THE LEFT IS THE LOCATION AND IT SHOWS YOU WHERE THE PUD -- OR I'M SORRY WHERE THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT, THOSE LITTLE PURPLE TRIANGLES THAT ARE LOCATED SOUTH OF CAMP LANDING ARE THE COMP PLAN ITEMS. AND THERE'S AN AERIAL ON THE RIGHT. THE MAP ON THE LEFT IS THE EXISTING LAND USE. UP SEE IT'S YELLOW, WHICH IS THE AR RESIDENTIAL LAND USE CURRENTLY.

AND THEY ARE CHANGING TO THE RED, WHICH IS THE COMMERCIAL.

IT'S SURROUNDED GROF TO THE WEST BY AR AND CAMP LANDING TO THE BASES TO THE NORTH ACROSS FROM TREAT ROAD. THIS IS A FURTHER ZOOMED OUT

[01:45:04]

MAP. YOU CAN SEE THE CONTEXT.

THIS IS KIND OF A LITTLE COMMERCIAL NODE ACROSS BLANDING IS ALSO A COMMERCIAL AND THIS WAS DONE YEARS AGO, ZONED TO THE BB ZONING DISTRICT WHICH IS A VERY BROAD ZONING DISTRICT BUT YOU CAN NO LONGER ZONE TO THAT DISTRICT.

AND MOST OF THE PARCELS ARE FAIRLY SMALL PARCELS IN THE AREA, THAT ARE ACROSS THE WAY AS WELL AS WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN TOWARDS KEYSTONE, YOU ALSO HAVE SMALLER COMMERCIAL PARCELS.

REGARDING THE REZONING, AGAIN THIS WILL BE THE ENTIRE PARCEL.

THE 60-ACRE PARCEL. ON THE LEFT IS THE EXISTING WHICH ARE THE AR AND THE COMMERCIAL AND THE RIGHT IS THE PCD. THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED THE USES TO GO ALONG WITH THE PCD AND WHAT I'M GOING TO HAND OUT TO YOU IS A REVISED ORDINANCE. BECAUSE AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, WE DISCOVERED THERE WAS AN INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE NARRATIVE WHICH DESCRIBED THE BUFFER AND THE SITE PLAN, SO THAT WAS CORRECTED BY THE APPLICANT. IT'S CORRECTED IN THIS ORDINANCE. AND ON MY SLIDE I'M JUST SHOWING YOU THE CORRECTED LANGUAGE. THE VISUAL BARRIER AND IT'S REPLACING THE LANGUAGE THAT WAS STRUCK OUT ABOVE IT.

AND NASS ALSO IN THE ORDINANCE E ORDINANCE THAT YOU HAVE ON THEIR PAGE 3. ON THE LEFT ARE PERMITTED USES, THIS IS GENERALLY BASED ON THE BB ZONING DISTRICT ACROSS THE WAY, ACROSS BLANDING. SO THAT'S ALSO INCLUDED IN YOUR YOUR -- IN THE ORDINANCE THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU.

SOME OF THE FEATURES OF THE PCD, AGAIN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER THAN WHAT YOU COULD GET UNDER THE STANDARD ZONING SO THEY PROVIDED THIS ADDITIONAL BUFFER, TYPICALLY BUFFER FOR COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL WOULD BE A 20-FOOT-WIDE B BUFF EX-WHICH MEANS IT'S 20-FOOT WIDE AND IT HAS A 6-FOOT VISUAL BARRIER, WHICH IS EITHER A FENCE, HEDGE REBUILT -- PLANTED AT 6-FOOT AT INSTALLATION OR A WALL ALONG WITH TREE PLANTING.

WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IS TO RETAIN A 40-FOOT NATURAL BUFFER AND ADD A 6-FOOT FENCE SO YOU'LL HAVE THE BUFFERING AT BOTH LEVELS, DOWN AT THE LOWER LEVEL WHICH IS PROTECTIVE OF THE RESIDENTIAL AS WELL AS THE TREE CAN ANY.

THEY'VE ALSO INCLUDED LANGUAGE IF THEY WERE TO REMOVE THE TREES, THEY WOULD PLANT THE B TYPE BUFFER BUT IT WOULD BE TO A 40-FOOT. SO YOU WOULD HAVE A 40-FOOT SPACING AS WELL AS THE TREE COVER AND FENCING.

THEY'VE INCLUDED LIGHTING STANDARDS TO CONTROL LIGHT TRESPASS. THEY'VE ALSO INCLUDED SIGN STANDARDS. THEY WILL HAVE A COMMON STORMWATER SYSTEM FOR THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT.

AND IT WILL ULTIMATELY BE 6 LOTS, RANGING IN SIZE FROM 8 TO 12 ACRES, EACH WITH A 40% FLOOR AREA RATIO.

THIS IS THE SITE PLAN. OVER ON THE LEFT, THE GREEN IS THE 40-FOOT BUFFER AND THEN THEY HAVE A 20-FOOT BUFFER TO THE NORTH WHICH IS TO CAMP BLANDING. SO THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED 6-0 TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF COMP 26-0003 AND ZONE 2601.

STAFF FINDS THAT THE CRITERIA FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT HAVE BEEN MET AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF COMP 2603 AND STAFF ALSO HAS RERECEIVED THE CRITERIA FOR THE REZONING AND FINDS THAT IT MEETS THE CRITERIA FOR ZONING TO 26-0001 -- I'M SORRY, THAT -- THAT SHOULD BE A PCD NUMBER.

IT SHOULD BE -- I'M SORRY, PUD 26-001, NOT ZONE 26-001.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >> YES, I -- I JUST WANTED -- I HAVE SOME REQUESTS OF THE APPLICANT, BUT JUST FOR THE SAKE OF THE PUBLIC, ON THE VERY FIRST SLIDE IT SAID IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE BURG CLAY HILL DISTRICT BUT IT'S NOT, IT'S IN THE KEYSTONE. I JUST WANTED THE MIDDLE BURG

[01:50:01]

CLAY HILL CAC TO KNOW WHY THEY DIDN'T SEE IT.

>> OKAY, THANK YOU. SORRY, MISSED THAT.

>> OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, APPLICANT?

>> COLIN GROFF, BLACK ROCK ENGINEERING, 3900 PASS OWE FENO ROAD. STAFF DOES A WONDERFUL JOB WORKING WITH US AND HELPING US GET THROUGH THESE THINGS.

I HAVEN'T DONE ONE IN THE COUNTY FOR A WHILE BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN BUSY IN GREEN COVE AND IN PUT MAN COUNTY.

BUT A COUPLE THINGS ON THIS. THE REASON I ALWAYS QUESTION IS WHY ARE YOU DOING THE PCD INSTEAD OF A STRAIGHT ZONING? THE APPLICANT ACTUALLY OWNS THE PROPERTY.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO MOVE THEIR BUSINESS THERE.

SO THAT'S THE PLAN, THEY'RE AN EXPANDING BUSINESS, THEY NEED TO GROW. SO THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE THEIR BUSINESS THERE. THEY ALSO WANTED TO BE IN CONTROL WHAT OTHER BUSINESSES WENT THERE SOMEWHAT, BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY WOULD FIT INTO BB4, MAYBE BB3, DEPENDING ON HOW THAT'S -- AGAIN IT GOES BACK TO HOW YOU DEFINE THESE THINGS.

BUT THERE ARE SOME USES IN THOSE THAT MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER BUSINESSES SO WE TRIED TO GET THE COMPATIBLE BUSINESSES TOGETHER UNDER PCD. WE ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE COMMON STORMWATER MAKES TOTAL SENSE ON SITES LIKE THIS SO THERE'S NOT A BUNCH OF INDIVIDUAL FACILITIES, IT'S MAINTAINED BY A PROPERTY OWNED ASSOCIATION.

AND THAT'S PROBABLY FOR ME TO DECLARE IT, I LIKE VEGETATIVE BUFFERS, I THINK THEY WORK BETTER THAN CLEARCUTTING A SITE AND TRYING TO PUT A FENCE UP AND PLANTING TREES.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANTED TO OFFER, THEY WANTED TO DO TOO IS THAT 40-FOOT -- ALONG THAT SIDE WHERE THE AGRICULTURE-RESIDENTIAL IS, IT'S FAIRLY HEAVILY TREED SO WE WANTED TO LEAVE THOSE. SO IF IT'S DONE WITH THE FENCE AND THE TREES, YOU'RE NOT REALLY GOING TO SEE MUCH FROM THOSE AREAS. I MIGHT, YOU MIGHT SEE A LITTLE BIT IN THE WINTER TIME AND WHEN THE LEAVES FALL OFF BUT YOU WON'T SEE MUCH. THE SECOND REASON GOING TO THIS, IT MAKES SENSE TO THE NORTH, THIS IS A GOOD USE FOR THE MILITARY. WE DID HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION, DID THE MILITARY SEE THIS.

THIS WAS A GREAT USE FOR THEM. THEY DON'T WANT RESIDENTIAL AS Y'ALL ARE AWARE. SO THIS IS A GOOD USE FOR THEM.

WE PUT THE LIGHTING STANDARDS TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T AFFECT -- THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GET THAT FAR SOUTH TRAINING ANYWAYS BECAUSE THEY KEEP A BUFFER FOR THEIR TRAINING BUT IT DOES THAT. AND IT'S REALLY -- WE DON'T -- THE REASON WE WANTED TO DO THIS IS IN CLAY COUNTERPART, I'VE HAD TWO CLIENTS IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS MOVE TO CLAY COUNTY FROM PUT MAN COUNTY BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND THESE LARGE SITES THAT ARE ZONED THIS WAY. THERE'S SOME SCATTERED AROUND THE COUNTY BUT THEY'RE GETTING TOUGHER AND TOUGHER TO FIND SO WE THINK THERE'S A NEED FOR THE MORE HEAVY COMMERCIAL USES, THE OWNERS OF CONTRACTORS -- CONTRACTORS HAVE EQUIPMENT, THEY HAVE MATERIAL STORAGE, THEY HAVF OFFICE SPACE AND ALL OF THAT SO THERE'S NOT A LOT OF CARS BECAUSE A LOT OF THEIR EMPLOYEES GO RIGHT TO A JOB SITE BUT THEY NEED THE SPACE FOR THEIR EQUIPMENT AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THE OTHER REASON WE WANT TO DO THIS TOO IS HAVING A COMMON DRIVEWAY, I THINK DOT LIKES THAT, THEY LIKE THESE COMMON DRIVEWAYS AMONG LOTS SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT. HAND IT SITE ALSO IS REALLY NOT GOOD FOR MUCH ELSE BECAUSE THERE'S A BIG TRANSMISSION EASEMENT RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE OF IT AND ONE ALONG THE FRONT SO IT'S KIND OF TOUGH TO MAKE IT LOOK REALLY NICE.

BUT WE'RE -- IT WILL BE ON THE BACK SIZE OF THE EASEMENT.

TRYING TO THINK -- OTHER THAN THAT, I THINK IT'S FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD. WE DID HAVE TO WORK ON THE BUFFER LANGUAGE, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE STAFF, THEY CAUGHT SOME INCONSISTENCIES, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS CLEAR SO WE CLEANED UP THAT LANGUAGE. AND ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE GLAD

TO ANSWER THEM. >> I HAVE A COUPLE OF REQUESTS.

>> OKAY. >> I HAVE -- I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH WHAT YOU'RE DOING AT ALL.

SO I WAS WONDERING IF YOUR APPLICANT WOULD BE WILLING TO TAKE THE BUFFER AND EXTEND IT ALL THE WAY TO THE CORNER AT GAS

LINE AND 21. >> CAN YOU BRING UP THE MAP REAL

QUICK? >> YEAH.

ERIC, CAN YOU PUT THE MAP ON THE FRONT SCREEN?

>> OH, YOU MEAN ALONG GAS LINE? >> YES, BECAUSE THERE'S HOUSES,

THERE'S TWO HOUSES -- >> YEAH, I DON'T THINK THAT'S A

PROBLEM. >> THERE'S TWO HOUSES ON THE

OTHER SIDE -- >> THEY PROBABLY INTENDED TO DO THAT, WE JUST DIDN'T DRAW IT RIGHT --

>> AT THE BOTTOM WHERE THERE'S THAT LINE, THAT'S NOT GOT YOUR

GREEN STRIPE -- >> RIGHT.

>> IT NEEDS A GREEN STRIPE. >> OKAY.

>> YEAH, I DON'T THINK THAT'S A PROBLEM.

>> BECAUSE DIRECTLY ACROSS THE TWO LANE OF GAS LINE, THERE ARE NOW TWO HOMES THERE, YEAH. AND I'M SURE THEY WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

>> THERE'S TREES THERE NOW. SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU JUST WANT TO LEAVE IT BUT WHATEVER YOU DECIDE TO DO, I THINK THAT --

>> I ALWAYS RECOMMEND TRYING TO LEAVE TREES TOO SO I THINK THAT'S PERFECTLY FINE, I THINK IT FITS THE SITE WELL.

WE WILL PROBABLY NEED AN EMERGENCY ACCESS FOR FIRE ONTO GAS LINE, SO THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE WHERE IT WOULD BE BUT IT WOULD BE A FENCED EMERGENCY ACCESS.

>> LIKE ONE OF THOSE WITH THE -- OKAY.

[01:55:03]

>> YEAH, BECAUSE THEY LIKE LOTS OF EXITS AND ENTRANCES SO --

>> YEAH. THEY DO.

>> WHICH IS GOOD. >> THEY HAD TO GO TO THE LITTLE JIFFY STORE RIGHT -- NOT TOO FAR FROM THERE CAUGHT ON FIRE AND THEY HAD TO GO -- OKAY SO THEN THE OTHER ONE WAS -- AND I'M SURE THEY WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS BUT I WANTED TO ASK IF YOU WOULD TAKE OUT AUTOMOTIVE PARTS, BECAUSE WE HAVE NOW OUR FOURTH AUTO PARTS STORE GOING IN IN KEYSTONE AND NO ONE WANTS

ANOTHER ONE. >> MY BET IS ON THIS SIZE LOTS, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET ONE ANYWAYS BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO

BIG -- >> WE'RE GETTING ONE ON THE

CORNER AT -- >> NO, WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM

WITH THAT AT ALL. >> AND WILL YOU TAKE OUT THE RV

AND BOAT STORAGE TOO? >> THAT'S A CONDITIONAL USE, MEANING BUILD HAVE TO COME BACK --

>> ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT THAT ONE?

>> COME BACK TO STAFF? >> DO WE COME BACK THROUGH THE PROCESS TO ADD IT? WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHO IS GOING TO COME -- ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT IT, YOUR GUY BEHIND YOU, HE KIND OF SHOOK HIS HEAD.

>> HAVE A LOT OF LARGE LOTS THERE, SOMEBODY MAY COME IN AND OFFER A

LOT OF MONEY AND OF COURSE -- >> YEAH, THERE'S RV AND BOAT STORAGE, I GUESS YOU WOULD CALL IT, ACROSS THE ROAD FROM IT.

AND IT'S NOT SIGHTLY. >> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, RV AND BOAT STORM, WOULD HAVE TO MEET THE CURRENT STANDARDS WHICH IS NOTHING LIKE WHAT'S ACROSS THE ROAD.

THE CURRENT STANDARDS ARE PRETTY TOUGH AND THE REASON IS A CONDITIONAL USE. THAT ONLY GOES BACK TO STAFF, IS THERE A WAY TO ADD THAT AS IT COMES BACK TO THE BOARD OR --

>> IF IT WERE LEFT OUT AS A USE, THINNED THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK AND ASK FOR IT.

THAT WOULD BE YOUR MEANS, TO COME BACK AND ASK.

>> I CAN LIVE WITH IT. I CAN LIVE WITH IT.

IT'S JUST -- IT'S JUST NOT IDEAL.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, WE WANT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

RV AND BOAT STORM DOESN'T BRING JOBS.

>> IT DOES NOT. BUT THE NEW STANDARDS ARE THERE WOULD BE SET BACK, FENCING, LANDSCAPING, ALL OF THAT SO -- MY BET IS IN THAT LOCATION NOBODY IS GOING TO WANT THAT ON THERE, BECAUSE EVERYBODY -- YOU KNOW, MOST PEOPLE KEEP IT IN THEIR YARD SO -- MY BET IS UNLESS THERE'S A MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT DOWN THERE, WHICH I DON'T SEE COMING AND I DON'T SEE ANYBODY HERE APPROVING THAT, I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A USEFUL USE. I THINK WE PUT IT IN THERE JUST IN CASE, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY CAME ALONG AND SAID, YEAH, WE THINK WE COULD DO THIS. BUT YOU KNOW, EITHER WAY, THE REASON I LIKE IT TOO IS BECAUSE SOMEBODY COMES ALONG THAT WE DIDN'T FIT, WE CAN COME BACK AND SAY -- I THINK IT'S REALLY UP TO Y'ALL, I THINK WE WOULD REMEMBER LEAVE IT IN AS A CONDITIONAL US-

>> BUT TO CHANGE THE SIX LOTS, THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK,

BECAUSE OF THE PID? >> IF THEY WERE TO DRASTICALLY

DEVIATE -- >> LIKE IF THEY WERE GOING TO --

>> INTENSITY, YES. >> DO YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE ON THAT BUFFER? DO WE HAVE A WIDTH? BECAUSE IT SHOULD BE CLEAR WHAT THAT BUFFER --

>> I THINK IF IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER -- I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT -- WHERE IT SAYS -- WHERE THEY GO AHEAD AND SAY IF THE EXISTING TREES AND VEGETATION ARE REMOVED.

>> AND THAT'S TO PROTECT -- BECAUSE IF SOMEBODY BUYS THE LOT AND THEY REMOVE IT, WHICH WE DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN, THEN IT'S FAIRLY EXTENSIVE TO PUT IT BACK. YOU WOULD HOPE SOMEBODY IS SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW IT'S LESS EXPENSIVE TO LEAVE IT THAN TAKE

IT OUT BUT -- >> SO I GUESS I'M A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED. OKAY, SO WHEN YOU READ THE VISUAL BARRIER, I THOUGHT THAT I SAW THAT IF THEY -- WHERE IT SAYS A 40-FOOT BUFFER WITH NATURAL AREA, MINIMUM 6-FOOT HIGH FENCE ON THE ANTERIOR OF THE BUFFERS, IF THE EXISTING TREES AND VEGETATION IS REMOVED, A 40-FOOT BUFFER WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE CURRENT LANDSCAPE CODE.

I THOUGHT I SAW SOMEWHERE THAT THAT HAD DROPPED TO 20 IF THEY

PUT THE FENCE. >> WELL, MAYBE MY EXPLANATION CONFUSED THAT. A TYPICAL PERIMETER B BUFFER WOULD BE A 20-FOOT PER OUR CODE. BUT THEY'RE GOING TO RETAIN IT AS A 40-FOOT BUFFER BUT MEET THE B STANDARDS WHICH ARE EVERGREEN TREE PLANTING, 30-FOOT ON CENTER CENTER.

AS WELL AS GRASS AND -- >> OKAY, THE ONLY OTHER THING I'M A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT IS ON THAT CORNER THERE BY GAS LINE IS THE LIGHTING. SO WE DID LIGHTING -- LIGHT TRESPASS FOR CAMP BLANDING BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE HOMEOWNERS?

>> IT'S THE SAME LIGHTING STANDARDS ACROSS THE WHOLE SITE.

THAT'S WHY WE PUT THEM IN THE PCD, SO THEY WOULD BE THE SAME ACROSS THE SITE. AND THEN AGAIN I THINK THE LANGUAGE -- AND BETH THIS IS FOR YOU -- I THINK THE LANGUAGE SAYS THE BUFFER IS ANYWHERE WHERE THERE'S RESIDENTIAL.

I THINK WE'RE NOT SHOWING IT ON THE SITE PLAN THAT WAY BECAUSE I DIDN'T -- TO BE HONEST YOU I DIDN'T KNOW THERE'S

RESIDENTIAL -- >> WELL, THERE'S A ROAD.

>> THERE'S A ROAD THERE SO I DIDN'T REALLY CONSIDER IT.

[02:00:02]

I THINK THE LANGUAGE IS OKAY, I THINK YOU CAN JUST ADD AND SAY

ALONG -- >> THERE'S MORE THERE RESIDENTIAL -- LIKE RIGHT HERE THERE'S THE ONE HOUSE HERE AND

THEN BACK HERE IS NOT REALLY -- >> AND GENERALLY THAT'S A PERIMETER BUFFER, WHEN YOU'RE ALONG THE ROAD IT'S YOUR FRONT BUFFER. THAT'S PROBABLY WHY WE DREW IT THAT WAY. I DON'T THINK IT'S AN ISSUE BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE ENTRANCE TO THE SITE ANYWAYS.

THAT'S GOING TO BE A SIDE -- THE SIDE TO THE LOT ANYWAYS.

>> AND I THINK THE ONLY OTHER THING WOULD BE -- AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE PUBLIC ROADS AND WE DON'T DIRECT TRAFFIC BUT ONCE TRAFFIC STARTS COMING, IF WE -- WE'RE GOING TO BE AND RICHARD AND I HAVE HAD THIS CONVERSATION, WE'RE GOING TO BE IN A BIND IF THEY START USING GAS LINE AND AMACOLE TO GO WEST TOWARDS BRADFORD COUNTY BECAUSE AMOKALE, IT'S ALREADY BECOME A CUT-THROUGH FOR THE RV PARK AND GPS ROUTES YOU THAT WAY AND THE PROBLEM -- AND GAS LINE SEEMS A LITTLE WIDER BUT THE PROBLEM WITH AMOCALE IS IT WAS BUILT BEFORE ROADS ARE 24 FEET SO IT'S 20, AND SO YOU GET -- IF YOU EVEN JUST GET A CAMPER AND A LANDSCAPE TRAILER PASSING EACH OTHER, THEY'RE BOTH OFF THE

ROAD. >> RIGHT.

>> AND I DRIVE IT EVERY DAY. EVERY DAY.

SO I AM WELL AWARE OF HOW I GET RUN OFF THE ROAD.

I DON'T LIVE ON AMOCALE. BUT THAT COULD BE AN ISSUE IF

BIG TRUCKS ARE COMING -- >> THAT HAS BIG ISSUES IN OTHER COUNTIES AND IT'S A CHALLENGING ONE.

YOU CAN PUT IN NO TRUCK BUT IT TAKES THE SHERIF TO ENFORCE THAT. ONCE YOU DO IT A COUPLE OF TIMES, IT GENERALLY STOPS, IN MY EXPERIENCE, YOU GET SOME BIG TICKETS OUT THERE, THAT KIND OF CUT-THROUGH STOPS AND YOU CAN DO THAT. YOU CAN PUT NO THROUGH TRUCKS ON ROADS, THAT'S PERFECTLY LEGAL. BUT THAT AGAIN -- YEAH, IT COULD BE AN ISSUE -- THESE PARTICULAR BUSINESSES ARE NOT ONES THAT HAVE A LOT OF THAT KIND OF TRAFFIC.

THEY COME IN -- BECAUSE THE EMPLOYEES GENERALLY DON'T EVEN SHOW UP THERE. THEY GO DIRECT TO THE JOB SITE

SO IT'S NOT A LOT OF EMPLOYEES. >> WELL, FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES BUT WHAT THE OTHER SITES MAY BE -- RIGHT, AND THE OTHER SITES BUT ALL OF THESE USES ARE USES WHERE THERE'S EMPLOYEES BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE TYPES OF BUSINESS -- UNLESS SOMEBODY COMES ALONG AND WANTS TO PUT A SHOPPING CENTER IN, BECAUSE WE SAID YEAH, BECAUSE PEOPLE DOWN THERE REALLY WANTED THAT, I DON'T THINK THAT WILL HAPPEN ANYTIME TOO SOON BUT IF SOMEBODY DOES, THEN YOU KNOW, COULD THAT BE USED AS A CUT000 -- BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT ROAD IF THAT'S A PROBLEM AND THE ROAD CAN'T BE WIDENED, A SHOPPING CENTER COMES IN THERE ACTUALLY MAY BE SOME REQUIREMENTS TO WIDEN THE ROAD BUT YOU CAN MAKE A ROAD NO THROUGH TRUCKS. IT'S JUST THE ENFORCEMENT -- I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS ON THE GOVERNMENT SIDE, IS YOU DO HAVE TO HAVE THE SHERIFF COOPERATE WITH YOU AND GIVE TICKETS.

>> THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION I HAD, BETH, WAS IN THERE IT ADDRESSED -- IN THEIR PLAN, IT ADDRESSED THE MOBILITY FEES BUT IT DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IMPACT FEES.

I JUST WANTED TO BE SURE THAT THEY ARE PAYING.

>> IT WOULD ALL BE ASSESSED ON THAT, YES.

>> ALL RIGHT, I HAVE NO OTHER QUESTIONS.

I WILL MOVE APPROVAL OF THE -- I HAVE TO DO IT TWICE, OR TWO

DIFFERENT ONES? >> I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM --

>> OH, I'M SORRY. I THOUGHT WE DID.

>> NO, WE JUST DID QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.

>> SORRY ABOUT THAT. ANYBODY ELSE, QUESTIONS?

OKAY, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, BRING

IT BACK TO THE BOARD. >> SO TWO MOTIONS? SO I WOULD MOVE WE APPROVE THE FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENT.

>> SECOND. >> MOTION AND SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOUR SAY AYE? ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MOTION FOR THE PUD?

>> MOTION, MOVE TO APPROVE THE PUD.

>> SECOND. >> MOTION AND SECOND.
