About

Historical
Preservation

worked
heavily
in
the
Charlotte
Harbor
area
to
recognize
the
Hickory
Bluff
pioneers
Bluff
Cemetery,
and
they
found
a
lot
of
research
and
have
sponsor

those
events.
We
also
preserve
the
Hickory
Bluff
Cemetery
and
take
care
of
it
as
a
part
of
Cape
Charlotte
beautiful
through
the
county.
We've
adopted
that
cemetery
and
we
work
very
hard
with
our
local
youth.

Okay,
we
will
convene
a
Community,
Redevelopment
Agency
meeting
and
we
will
begin
the
meeting
with
citizens
comments
and
you
can
comment
on
any
of
the
CRA
agenda
items
which
includes
the
project
status
report
and
the
approval
of
our

very
big
agenda
today.
So
if
anyone
has
any
comments
in
regard
to
those
two,
please
come
to
the
podium.
You
have
three
minutes:
okay,
not
seeing
a
rush
to
the
podium,
we'll
begin
with
our
presentation:
Howard,
when
you're
ready,
eunuch.
A
H
Difficult
ly
more
than
last
year,
at
this
time,
federal
court
center
you're
going
to
see
some
pictures
of
the
dream
salon
and
spa.
They
are
installing
all
of
the
furniture.
Now
the
flooring
is
done.
If
you
look
down
below
on
the
left
on
the
right
on
the
left,
you'll
see
the
nice
flooring
they
put
in
putting
in
all
the
cabinet
space
like
the
fire.
Sprinkler
system
is
lasted
last
to
go,
we've
got
a
couple
of
heads
to
put
in,
but
but
they
will
be
open
soon.
H
A
H
A
H
The
library
there
may
be
the
building
itself
is
substantially
complete,
they're,
putting
all
the
furniture
and
equipment
they
have
to
get
that
up
in.
They
look
ready
to
open
August
unless
something
happens
with
the
furniture
and
equipment.
But
here
are
some
nice
pictures
of
the
way
it
looks.
It
really
looks
beautiful.
I

H
B
A
B
Opposed
motion
carries
unanimously
and
now
we
have
shows
we
have
citizen
comments
and
usually
we
have
Commissioner
comments
and
then
we
have
don't.
We
have
by
citizen
comments
after
the
Commissioner
comments
or
but
we'll
go
ahead
and
have
citizen
comments
on
virtually
anything.
That
is
on
your
mind
about
the
CRA,
so
you
can
come
to
the
podium
and
you
have
three
minutes:
okay,

did
recommend
approval
of

so
it's
being
brought
forth

for
adoption.
Scott

the

attorney
is
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
on

the
amendments.
Basically,
the
amendments
are
in
response
to
changes
in
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
and
that
the
actuary
has
determined
that
there
is
no
real
impact
on

When
you
come
to
the
podium
to
speak,
please
state
your

and
that
you
have
been

Let
me
give
a
little
bit
of
ground
rules
on
on
this
matter.
We
do
have
an
intervener.
K
The
intervener
is
a
an
affected
resident
who
has
established
that
they
have
an
interest,
a
special
interest
in
the
proceeding
that
intervener
is
represented
by
legal
counsel.
I'm
gonna
ask
the
legal
counsel
to
come
forward,
state,
their
name
and
and
their
client
for
them.
For
the
record,
each
party
is
going
to
have
30
minutes
to
make
their
case.
K
In
addition,
each
party
will
have
the
opportunity
to
cross-examine
the
witnesses
that
are
provided
by
the
city,
the
applicant
and
the
intervener,
and
then
at
the
end
of
the
presentation,
before
the
cause
of
the
public
hearing,
the
applicant
will
have
15
minutes
to
provide
any
type
of
rebuttal
argument.
So
hopefully
that's
clear
and
if
need
be,
I'll
clarify
that
as
we
go
along,
but
there
is
an
attorney
for
the
road
for
the
intervener.
Would
you
state
your

please,
for
the

good.

with
the
anticipation
of

The

O
O
Conclusion
number
five
for
chapter
26,
article
16
section.
Sixteen
point:
eight
Paran
are
revocation
a
special
exception.
Approval
may
be
revoked
by
City
Council
upon
non-compliance,
and/or,
violation
of
any
condition
attached
to
the
special
exception
after
notice
and
public
hearing.
Pursuant
to
this
article
staff
recommended
conditions
of
approval,
all
state
and
local
license
licenses
are
to
be
obtained
prior
to
the
operation
of
the
bed-and-breakfast
in
any
food
services
are
limited
to
guests,
purchasing
lodging
at
the
bed-and-breakfast
in
and
shall
not
be
advertised
to
the
general
public
as
a
restaurant.
O
The
only
permitted
signage
is
the
building
marker
sign
based
on
the
Punta
Gorda
code.
The
bed-and-breakfast
in
is
limit
is
to
be
limited
to
a
maximum
of
eight
guestrooms.
The
special
exception
uses
to
the
current
structures
as
they
exist
in
the
exterior
configuration
at
the
time
of
approval,
with
the
exception
of
the
pool
deck
in
cage
which
can
be
expanded
with
the
proper
permitting
hours
of
operation
for
the
pool
be
limited,
an
employee
of
the
property
must
be,
must
reside
on-site
and
no
special
events
open
to
the
public
are
permitted.
O
B
K
So
at
this
point
the
City
Council
may
ask
questions
of
miss
Hannon
and
then
before
her
up
for
cross-examination
by
the
applicant
or
the
intervener.
Let
me
simply
note
with
respect
to
the
the
definition
of
bed-and-breakfast
in
our
in
our
zoning
code.
There
is
a
requirement
that
the
that
the
facility
be
owner
occupied.
That
is
not
a
waivable
requirement.
It
is
part
and
parcel
of
the
definition
of
bed-and-breakfast
in
view
of
the
fact
that
the
property
may
be
owned
by
a
corporate
entity
Mike.
K
One
thing
that
was
I
think
omitted
was
any
specific
recommendation
or
determination
with
respect
to
the
hours
of
operation
of
the
pool,
and
that's
something
that
you
may
want
to
consider
and
provide
in
the
in
your
conditions,
if
you
were
to
approve
this
special
exception.
So
at
this
time,
council
members
may
ask
questions
of
the
salmon
and
then
we'll
open
it
up
first
to
the
intervener
and
then
to
the
applicant.
D
D
A
D
D
The
other
thing
is
with
regard
to
fire
code.
Is
there
a
way
that
that
there
can
be
a
limitation,
and
maybe
we
can
get
the
fire
chief
or
whoever
is
here
from
the
fire
department
to
come
in
and
weigh
in
on
this?
Is
there
a
way
that
we
can
get
a
limitation
on
the
number
of
guests
that
might
be
allowed
in
each
of
the
guest
rooms?

Our
Kunik
city
manager
and
I
have
been
sworn
I
do
know
the
answer
to
that.
We
live
next
door
to
it
when
we
first
moved
here
in
April
in
June
of
2005,
it
was
operating
as
a
bed-and-breakfast
owned
and
operated
by
a
gentleman
named
mr.
Redd
Foxx
and
right
there
in
the
corner
of
Harvey
and
Olympia.
At
that
time
it
was
the
only
bed-and-breakfast
operating
in
the
city
and.

O
Q
Chief
building
official
I've
been
sworn
to
the
structure
wanted
to
review
it
when
it
goes
through
a
process.
That's
based
on
square
footage
and
the
use
of
each
area
in
the
home,
because,
depending
on
the
use,
would
determine
a
I,
keep
it
load
for
that
area.
And
then
it's
added
up
an
aggregate
number.
J
J
The
future
land-use
element
also
seeks
to
protect
existing
residential
areas.
These
areas
can
be
subject
to
pressures
ranging
from
conversion
to
inappropriate
commercial
uses
to
increase
densities,
not
in
keeping
with
the
existing
character.
The
element
seeks
to
recognize
these
pressures
and
balance
personal
property
rights
with
community
best
interest
through
policies
that
seek
to
minimize
the
impact
of
these
outside
pressures
on
residential
communities.
Did
you
consider
that
I'm.
R
Morning
for
the
record,
John,
the
BOE
urban
design,
manager
and
I
have
been
sworn
yes,
we
did
look
at
that
under
the
conditions
of
the
home,
the
size
of
the
home,
the
buffering
that
occurred
around
the
home.
We
felt
that
it
was
a
reasonable
request
from
the
applicant
to
go
ahead
and
move
forward
on
it.
J
J
Let
me
ask
this
to
try
to
simplify
my
understanding
of
infill.
Is
a
structure
or
building
that
is
built
on
a
vacant
lot
that
instead
of
urban
sprawl
you're
very
happy
if
you've
got
vacant
properties
say
within
the
city
of
limits,
instead
of
having
to
sprawl
out
in
the
suburbs
to
construct
new
buildings
within,
say
that
limit
or
that
district
on
vacant
lots.
It's
not
a
vacant
lot
correct.
It.
R
J
So
you
don't
have
any
basis
whatsoever
to
back
up
that
statement:
correct,
okay
and
and
and
I'm
not
trying
to
be
me,
but
of
it
to
make
a
statement
to
the
council
geez.
This
has
been
sitting
vacant.
It
hasn't
been
vacant
for
five
years
or
ten
years
right,
no,
sir
slippery
slope!
This
is
argument
slippery
slope
for
the.
J
One
of
the
future
land-use
elements
that
you
cited
to
is
four
point.
One
point
eight
point
two
and
that
talks
about
a
degradation
of
a
residential,
neighborhood
and
I
bet.
You
cited
it
I
assume
you
all
have
considered
those
elements.
Correct.
Yes,
can
you
define
for
the
council
what
a
hotel
slash
Motel
/in
is
under
the
city
code,
I.
R
J
O
O
J
O
J
And
I
think
city
council
mentioned
this
already.
The
definition
that
sets
this
apart
from
a
hotel,
/
Motel
/
in,
is
that
the
homeowner
and
I'm
reading
from
the
definition
in
paragraph
21,
the
homeowner,
shall
reside
on
site
and
employment
shall
not
exceed
two
full-time
employees,
including
the
owners
correct,
not.
O
J
That's
going
to
be
argument,
but
let
me
let
me
just
make
sure
that
I
understand
from
your
position
ma'am
as
the
person
that
is
putting
forth
the
staffs
position
to
the
City
Council.
You
believe
that
part
of
this
definition
that
that
is
met
by
having
an
employee
residing
on
site
and
not
the
homeowner,
correct,
correct.

Before
we
open
it
to
the
applicant
for
the
applicants
presentation,
let
me
ask
this
town
question.
You
were
asked
on
cross
examination
with
respect
to
the
interpretation
that,
where
a
where
a
structure
is
owned
by
a
corporation
or
other
entity
that
the
city
attorney
opined
that
the
owner
occupied
since
it's
impossible
for
a
corporation,
which
is
just
an
entity
to
occupy
whether
it
would
be
sufficient
for
a
full-time
employee
to
satisfy
that
requirement.

The
staff
report,
findings
of
fact
and
conclusions
as
well
as
any
Commission's
recommendation
of
approval,
would
find
that
each
of
these
criteria
have
been
met
by
the
request:
an
application
material,
the
request
by
751
West
Road,
Esplanade
LLC,
is
for
a
bed-and-breakfast
and
it
developed
a
lot
at
751
was
right
at
s
going
on
the
existing
single-family
residence
with
a
cottage
and
site
improvements
are
ideally
suited
for
a
bed-and-breakfast
for
a
home
for
eight
rooms.
The
following
items
are
criteria,
trust
in
the
submitted
application
and
it'll
expand
on
some
of
these.
S
That,
with
additional
points
related
to
these
items,
I
also
ask
that
the
previously
submitted
application,
which
provided
commentary
on
these
points.
You
recognize
for
the
record
as
part
of
my
testimony
just
in
case
I
miss
anything
and
also
we
recognize
the
staffs
conditions
or
excuse
me,
findings
of
fact
and
recommendations.
Most
of
the
items
required
to
be
addressed
ultimately
speak
to
character
in
the
nature
of
the
uses
of
structures
and
property.
S
One
first
criteria,
one
the
proposed
use,
will
not
adversely
affect
the
use
of
neighboring
properties.
The
neighboring
properties
include
three
streets:
a
public
park,
Park
single-family
and
single-family
residential
lots.
The
applicants
property
was
built
as
a
single-family
residence
and
generally
developed
subject
to
similar
regulations.
As
the
adjacent
single-family
uses,
the
property
owner
will
maintain
an
existing
footprint
on
the
vehicle
on
site
structures,
only
need
for
interior
remodeling
and
perhaps
minor,
exterior
updates
for
access.
The
proposed
use
will
not
adversely
affect
the
use
of
neighboring
properties.
