Description
A
Property
going
in
that
particular
position
without
a
restriction
on
uses,
okay
and
I
will
bring
up
to
you
two
uses
that
sounded
like
they
were
permitted
on
there.
One
would
be
how
about
a
bail
bondsman.
Could
a
bail
bondsman
go
in
there
and
introduce
lots
of
people
in
that
area?
That
could
then
go
down
Jamaica
Way
and
say
well,
you
know
these
are
good
properties
to
rob
or
something
like
that.
How
about
a
marijuana
dispensary?
It's
a
nice
medical
use
in
this
kind
of
thing.
Can
we
put
a
marijuana
dispensary
in
that
particular
area?
Again.
B
A
Say
all
of
these
would
be
potential
negatives
to
the
whole
area
associated
with
Jamaica,
Way
and
I'm,
saying
that
commercial
property
on
that
thing
without
prescriptions,
okay,
you
know
I
may
go
to
lawyer's
office
or
something
like
that.
That's
fine!
Let's
put
then,
let's
come
in
with
a
plan
that
says
I'm
gonna
put
a
lawyer's
office
in
let's
don't
leave
it
wide
open.
C
You
this
is
a
public
hearing.
If
you
would
like
to
sleep
speak,
please
make
your
way
to
this
podium
to
my
right.
Please
make
your
way.
People
that
would
like
to
speak
on
this
rezoning
I
need
you
to
get
up
and
walk
over
to
the
podium,
so
you
can
get
to
the
microphone
and
you
can
state
your
name
and
say
that
you've
been
sworn
and
get
your
three
minutes.
D
D
By
the
way,
the
future
Land
Use,
Plan
2040,
at
least
any
document
I
could
find,
does
not
show
this
being
changed.
It
only
shows
as
multifamily
residential.
It
does
not
show
this
piece
being
rezone
to
basically
general
commercial,
if,
indeed,
you
can
restrict
in
some
way
legally
and
it
would
appear
that
legally
you've
restricted
it.
That
would
make
sense.
This
was
the
whole
presentation
here
is
quite
different
from
the
May
29th
meeting.
D
So
I'm
good
I'm
frankly
going
to
leave
it
that
way,
if
indeed
this
truly
is
restrictive
in
the
way
you've
stated.
Yes,
it
makes
sense
and
I
thank
the
developer.
I
think
that
was
very
nice
and
I
wish
we'd
had
all
that
at
May
29th.
If
you
cannot
restrict
this,
then
just
like
was
stated.
It's
wide
open
and
the
original.
D
C
E
My
name
is
Ron
Reedy
I've
been
sworn
in
I
own,
a
condominium
next
door
on
1710,
Jamaica,
Way
and
I
certainly
would
like
to
see
the
lot
get
developed.
It's
been
sitting
there
for
a
long
time
creating
a
problem
for
us.
However,
I
do
have
some
concerns
and
the
size
of
the
lot
and
I
don't
quite
see
how
you
can
put
5
build
5
residences
in
such
a
small
lot
and
take
that
that
for
commercial
work
on
the
end,
I'm
saying
my
parking
lot
is
right
here.
E
Is
there
going
to
be
a
building
right
here,
going
up,
35
feet
right
next
to
the
parking
lot
and
creating
this
Wahl
I'm
just
concerned
that
how
can
you
possibly
put
that
many
buildings
as
I
go
down?
Henry
I
see
three
houses
for
every
block:
yeah
you're
talking
about
putting
five
houses
in
a
small
lot,
that's
just
about
buildable
for
two
or
three
houses.
So
you
know
my
concern
is:
is
what
can?
E
How
can
you
do
it
and
make
this?
You
know
reasonable
I
mean
I,
we
don't
see
any
anything.
Is
the
house
is
gonna,
be
five
feet
apart?
These
are
going
to
be
five
feet
from
the
edge
of
our
property.
I
mean
I,
don't
that's
what
my
concern
is:
I,
don't
see
what
they're
doing
here
and
I'm
kind
of
blind
and
I
think
a
lot
of
people
here
are
kind
of
concerned
about
the
unknown.
E
It's
not
what
we
know,
it's
what
we
don't
know
and
what
could
happen
so
you
know
my
feeling
is:
is
that
I
would
like
to
see
some
kind
of
drawing
or
something
saying
that
this
is
what
we're
going
to
do,
and
this
is
how
we're
going
to
put
it,
and
this
is
how
much
space
is
gonna
between
each
building
and
how
much
parking
with
us.
What
the
site
plan
actually
is,
and
that's
really
all
I
have
to
say
other
than
that.
I
really
would
like
to
see
the
property
developed.
C
F
Hi,
my
name
is
Dave
back
it's.
He
I've
been
sworn
I'm
resident
on
Jamaica
Way
I
just
wanted
to
bring
to
light
a
couple
concerns
I
had
in
this
hearing
today,
and
also
to
clarify
some
issues
on
understanding
about
the
properties.
One
is
is
that
the
properties
that
are
adjacent
that
are
currently
commercial
were
commercial
at
the
time
that
all
of
us
who
moved
on
to
Jamaica
Way
purchased
our
properties.
So
there
was
no
misunderstanding
about
what
the
property
that's
currently
being
developed
or
concerned
about
about
its
use
at
the
time.
F
So
the
thought
that
somehow,
that
fact
that
the
Yacht
Club
is
there
as
commercial,
the
firm
across
the
street
I
think
it's
Keller.
Williams
is
commercial,
was
well
understood
by
all
of
us,
including
the
model
home
which
I
suspect
will
not
stay
commercial
once
it
becomes
owned
by
somebody.
So
this
is
a
whole
new
change
to
a
plotted
land
that
was
well
understood
for
use
over
many
many
years.
F
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
not
this
misconception
that
this
is
something
that
was
should
have
been
understood,
although
just
because
it's
commercial
property
across
the
street
that
we
should
just
accept
it
to
being
on
our
street,
because
there
is
a
difference
between
one
side
of
that
street
and
the
other,
because
one
is
obviously
much
more
residential.
The
Yacht
Club's
been
there
since
time
immemorial.
All
of
us
moving
onto
that
Street
understood
the
commercial
impact
of
that
property.
F
The
other
thing
that
I
would
like
to
bring
to
the
attention
is
that
I
think
it's
unfair
and
a
hearing
that
counsel
is
allowed
to
characterize
neighbors
who,
with
concerns
and
I,
was
not
privy
to
the
meeting.
So
I
apologize,
but
I,
don't
think
in
a
public
forum.
Neighbors
with
concerns
should
be
impugned,
with
the
concept
that
they
are
calling
somebody
greedy
or
that
they
have
somehow
a
negative
attitude.
That's
brought
to
the
council's
discussion.
This
is
a
hearing.
F
There
are
facts
to
be
presented,
certainly
appreciate
the
fact
that
the
developer
is
trying
very
hard
to
produce
a
product.
That's
going
to
be
adjusted.
That
would
be
more
acceptable,
but
there
are
concerns
we
bought
that
property
28
years
ago.
We
knew
what
we
were
getting
in.
This
is
a
whole
new
thing.
Bigger
concern,
I
have
also
about
a
commercial
property
round.
F
That
corner
is
turn
into
that
Street
some
time
and
see
what
happens
when
you
have
a
blind
corner
coming
in
and
you're
gonna
have
a
building
right
up
against
it,
so
it's
even
more
blind
than
ever.
There's
a
lot
of
traffic
that
comes
right
out
of
that
corner,
especially
if
the
Yacht
Club's
active
just
some
concerns
about
the
commercial
use
of
that
property.
F
Other
concerns
are:
does
this
open
a
floodgate
for
the
next
developer
to
come
in
and
say
I
know
this
was
property
designed
for
residential,
but
I
want
it
for
X
with
all
great
intentions.
But
again
we
open
up
this
wave
that
we're
gonna
have
the
next
meeting
here
discussing
about
this,
so
I
appreciate
the
kind
of
the
time.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
My
name
is
Dena
Palumbo
I've
been
duly
sworn,
I
live
at
1750,
Jamaica,
Way,
condominiums,
okay,
my
husband
couldn't
be
here,
but
he
sent
he
sent
a
letter
and
he
asked
me
to
read
it.
He
said
that
this
property
has
been
zoned
residential
for
thirty
years.
It
was
owned
that
way
by
our
planners
for
a
good
reason.
It's
the
best
use
of
the
property
I
would
submit
to
you
that
nothing
has
changed
over
these
30
years.
That
would
warrant
a
rezoning,
especially
one
that
would
allow
commercial
occupancy
over
the
years
as
planned.
G
Jamaica
Way
has
been
built
up
with
a
combination
of
condominium
and
residential
housing.
The
neighborhood
is
absolutely
lovely,
and
it
is
for
this
reason
that
my
husband
and
I
have
moved
here
and
we
call
it
home.
I
cannot
imagine
why
anyone
would
entertain
changing
this
dynamic.
Now,
after
the
fact,
this
is
not
planning
it's
disrupting.
G
G
B
G
G
H
Sherry
Leonora
and
I
have
been
sworn
I.
Think
the
city
attorney
very
adequately
pointed
out
that
the
City
Council
cannot
take
a
look
at
what
is
being
proposed
to
be
developed
there.
They
must
take
a
look
at
what
could
be
developed
there
and
what
could
be
developed?
There
is
up
to
ten
thousand
square
feet.
A
restaurant
Oh
at
certain
provisions,
a
bar,
all
sorts
of
things-
could
be
developed
there
once
the
zoning
has
changed.
He
remains
in
perpetuity
with
the
property
unless
another
rezoning
takes
place
so
I
want.
H
H
I
feel
like
that
when
people
buy
property
I
as
a
homeowner
bought
a
property
I
accepted
what
the
C
codes
were,
what
the
homeowners
associations
required
of
me,
what
the
restrictive
covenants
were
on
my
property
and
I
abide
by
those
rules.
When
a
developer
buys
a
piece
of
property
in
a
zoned
multi-use
family,
then
he
needs
to
understand.
That
is
what
the
property
is
used
for.
We
don't
change
the
rules
in
the
middle
of
the
course.
I
can't
go
and
open
a
restaurant.
H
On
my
city,
property,
my
home,
unless
I
come
and
get
it
written,
get
us
an
exemption
granted
by
you
I,
don't
think
you're
going
to
exempt
gonna
grant
me
that
exemption
to
build
to
turn
my
house
into
a
restaurant.
It
would
be
very
disruptive
to
my
neighbors
the
same
with
this
particular
piece
of
property.
It
is
surrounded
by
residential.
It
was
sown
multifamily.
It
needs
to
remain
that
way,
and
the
city
needs
to
take
a
to
take
a
careful
look
at
all
the
many
uses
and
only
the
permanent
uses
when
making
their
decision.
J
I
So
my
name
is
Janice
Fullman
I
own
one
of
the
kind
of
minions
immediately
adjacent
to
this
property
and
I
just
want
to
agree
basically
with
everything
that
has
been
said.
I
want
to
specifically
point
out
that
the
Yacht
Club
being
a
commercial
use,
but
it
is
very
much
it's
quiet
there,
it's
quiet
in
the
evening.
It
is
very,
it
almost
resembles
a
residential
use,
and
so
it
fits
to
my
mind.
It
fits
rather
well
into
the
neighborhood,
but
that
whole
area
is
so
residential.
We
and
we
already
have
issues
with
traffic.
I
It's
true
when
there
is
an
event
at
the
Yacht
Club
I
can
only
imagine
the
traffic
issues
there
would
be
if
there's
a
commercial
development
on
that
corner
and
I.
Think
it's
completely
contrary
to
the
feeling
of
the
neighborhood
and,
as
many
people
have
said,
I
think
all
of
us
would
be
very,
very
upset
about
it.
I
K
My
name
is
John
gross
and
baakir.
I
live
at
1750
Jamaica
way
and
I
have
been
sworn
my
purpose
in
appearing
before
you
today
was
to
oppose
this
rezoning
request
as
my
email
to
each
one
of
you
stated.
However,
after
some
discussion
with
mr.
Farhad
on
Tuesday
and
his
just
announced
addition
of
a
deed
restriction
on
this
property,
I
would
withdraw
my
opposition
and
would
support
the
application
for
an
in-season
with
the
deed
restriction
noted.
K
This
compromise
I
believe
preserves
the
residential
neighbors,
our
Jamaica
Way
neighborhood,
and
allows
a
property
owner
some
reasonable,
but
not
unlimited
flexibility
as
I
understand.
The
deed
restriction
will
also
a
stop
potential
future
owners
of
this
property
from
any
other
commercial
development
beyond
what
is
envisioned
in
the
deed
restriction.
I
do
understand,
the
property
was
purchased
under
MCS
own
and
in
consideration
of
adjacent
property
should
remain
MCs
own
I
understand
that,
but
with
the
deed
restriction,
traffic
impact
as
well
as
density,
will
be
less
than
a
13
unit,
condo
on
the
same
site.
C
L
B
L
Have
been
sworn
well
I
do
like
the
idea
of
having
that
property
built
on
I
am
concerned
about
a
few
things
that
I
heard
today
and
I
believe
the
developer
I
really
appreciate
the
guarantee
and
the
intent
I
too
wrote
to
all
of
you
and
wanted
to
see
the
intent.
Although
now
I
am
concerned
about
what
could
happen
in
the
future,
based
on
what
I
heard
today,
I
want
to
voice
two
concerns.
Well,
one
common
in
one
concern
the
other
areas
like
where
the
7-eleven
our
residents
have
alternatives
to
take
a
walk
right,
a
bike.
L
Jamaica
Way
does
not.
It
is
a
dead
end.
I
have
a
dog
I
walk
my
dog
multiple
times
a
day
and
I
walk
them
at
night
alone
and
I
have
the
only
option.
I
have
he's
a
large
dog,
so
I
have
to
walk.
Him
far
is
to
walk
up
to
that
corner
and
back,
and
it
is
a
blind
corner
and
even
during
the
day,
sometimes
people
whip
around
there
and
I
am
nervous
about
walking
my
dog.
L
So
we
don't
have
an
option
to
do
those
kinds
of
things
plus
it's
a
way
to
meet
the
people
in
your
neighborhood.
Is
people
walk
up
and
down
that
Street
and
ride
their
bicycles
and
it's
how
to
meet
people
in
the
neighbor?
We
don't
have
another
option
other
than
that
Street
and
I
am
concerned
about
the
traffic
on
that
corner,
how
you
would
get
in
and
out
of
that
property
in
a
safe
way
without
people
more
people
driving
down
our
street
and
around
the
circle
to
get
out
so
it
is.
L
K
M
M
C
N
Farhad
and
I've
been
sworn
may.
I
just
make
a
couple
of
comments
so
specifically
to
the
the
what
I've
been
hearing
here.
That
has
a
level
of
consistency.
Is
that
the
fear
that
an
overwhelming
structure
and
gentleman
pointed
out
earlier
that
this
hearing
is
much
different
than
the
Planning
Commission
meeting
and
I
think
that's
accurate.
Essentially,
what
I
want
to
communicate
is
that
this
zoning
will
will
handcuff
me
to
a
35
foot
height
restriction,
and
it
will
give
me
a
farther
restriction
of
buildable
space
off
the
seawall.
That
would
be
the
neighborhood
senator
zoning.
N
Currently,
as
it
relates
to
an
imposing
structure,
we
can
currently
build
a
very
much
imposing
concrete
structure
that
that
is
50
foot
tall.
So
the
zoning
that
we're
proposing
would
actually
limit
that.
So
currently
we
can
go
50
feet,
we're
going
to
limit
ourselves
to
35
feet.
The
other
thing
I
want
to
say
is
the
reason
that
this
hearing
is
different
than
the
last
hearing
is
because
the
concerned
residents
caught
our
attention
and
anybody
that
reached
out
to
us
that
was
a
concerned
resident.
N
We
did
talk
to
and-
and
we
said
what
is
your
major
concern
in-
and
they
mentioned
things
of
what,
if
it's
a
10,000
square
foot
commercial
building,
what,
if
it's
a
CVS?
What,
if
it's
a
restaurant?
The
reason
we
did,
the
self-imposed
e
restriction
is
to
make
it.
So
you
can't
fit
anything
of
that
magnitude
on
the
site
and
I
understand.
N
So
that's
why
this
hearing
is
a
little
bit
different
and
just
so
everybody
knows
this
does
go
with
the
title
of
property.
So
if
I
walk
out
of
here,
hopefully
not
get
hit
by
a
bus,
no
matter
what
my
heirs,
anybody
that
buys.
This
will
have
that
embedded
in
the
title.
So
I
know
that
that
the
the
the
the
lawyer
explained
it
and
I'm
a
layman,
and
probably
most
of
you
hollers
well
I
mean
this
is
essentially
a
rule
that
is
embedded
in
the
property
for
eternity
unless
the
city
changes
something.
Thank
you.
The.
C
O
Speaking
of
that
corner
that
I
almost
hit
two
people,
as
they
came
around
those
palm
trees.
That's
about
a
year
ago
and
I
still
remember
up
any
one
of
my
friends
they're
my
neighbors
they're
worse,
but
beyond
that
I
think
it's
just
ridiculous
to
have
something
like
that
go
up
in
there.
How
do
we
know
it's
in
that
office?
How
are
they
what
is
going
to
be
in
the
offices,
a
subway,
a
dressmaker
hamburger
place?
We.
O
Nothing,
no
specifics
at
all.
That's
what
troubles
me
and
I
have
mentioned
troubles
all
these
people
around
here.
The
cottage
is
I,
don't
know
how
they're
gonna
fit
on
there,
because
just
you
look
at
I'm
gonna
just
impossible
to
look
at
to
see
them
fit
on
that
property
them
alone,
let
alone
the
prop
that
commercial
are
to
be
always
Lots
down.
There
are
over
a
million
dollar
house
that
we're
talking
about
over
a
million
dollar
house
and
their
beautiful
homes.
O
This
is
destroying
the
whole
area,
I'm,
sorry,
but
it
is,
and
they
don't
like
it
and
I
know
a
lot
of
people
in
our
condominiums
that
don't
like
it
and
I
never
got
over
here,
but
just
to
support
this
thing,
but
I
am
and
I'm
getting
sick
and
tired.
I
have
people
coming
in
here
and
saying:
well,
this
isn't
gonna
happen.
This
isn't
gonna
happen
that
and
then,
two
weeks
later
and
two
months
later
or
a
year
later,
something
else
happens.
Well,
it's
not
gonna
happen
in
our
part.
O
B
M
B
K
J
C
M
Lights
are
on
about
250
feet
of
land
along
the
road.
They're
gonna
be
wheeling
out
garbage
cans
twice
a
week
right
on
that
little
strip
of
land
right
there
right
on
that.
Right
on
that
Street,
though
we
need
to
go
up,
you
know
that's
access
to
our
car
No,
so
just
picture
that,
if
that
was
a
multi-family
there'd
be
a
dumpster
there.
They
come
over
to
pick
up
the
garbage.
There'd
be
one
thing:
that's
gonna
be
a
mess.
Thank
you.
B
P
The
record
gary
bein,
with
Southwest
engineering,
Anna
hi,
have
been
sworn
preliminary
looking
at
the
the
site
layout
when
we
looked
at
the
commercial,
the
the
residential
components,
especially
the
commercial.
When
you
look
at
the
commercial
and
the
size
of
the
building,
that's
that
is
shown
there.
It's
about
an
1,800
square
foot
building
and
the
most
I
can
get
is
nine
to
ten
parking
spaces.
P
When
you
start
looking
at
what
types
of
businesses
can
would
want,
nine
to
ten
parking
spaces,
it's
not
generating
a
lot
of
traffic
if
I
were
to
put
in
a
fourteen
fifteen
unit
condominium
would
generate
more
traffic
than
that,
so
the
traffic
actually
has
been
reduced
in
that
location.
Things
that
that
are
not
shown
on
here
are
stormwater.
P
Those
things
prohibit
properties
from
expanding
greatly
rule
of
thumb
in
engineering.
When
you
look
at
acre
a
one
acre
site
to
a
five
acre
site,
the
most
you
can
put
on
there
is
five
thousand
to
a
7,000
square
foot
building.
When
you
look
at
what
these
restrictive
covenants
has
done,
I
mean
this
is
very,
very
small.
The
the
intent
of
this
is
more
of
a
kind
of
a
office,
maybe
a
boutique,
or
something
like
that-
probably
not
open
late
late
at
night
or
anything
like
that,
but
the
residential
components
of
driveways
everything
fits.
P
Q
I
would
never
presume
to
know
what
someone
sitting
in
a
room,
a
public
hearing
is
going
to
say
my
comments
and
my
characterizations
about
the
opponents
was
not
based
on
what
I
thought
would
be
said
here,
but
based
on
actual
emails
that
were
sent
to
you,
the
terminology,
greedy
developer
and
the
characterization
of
people,
as
opponents
was
taken
directly
from
those
emails
that
were
sent
to
you
and
I
want
to
be
sure
that
the
room
understands
that
that
those
terms
were
used
and
that's
why
I
use
them.
In
my
presentation,
mr.
Q
Q
Zoning
was
never
intended
to
be
something
that
is
in
place
forever.
Your
Zoning
document
has
been
amended
multiple
times.
You
just
amended
it
today
to
create
a
new
use
in
your
commercial
district,
a
new
ability
for
a
special
exception
in
commercial
owned.
It
needs
to
be
able
to
be
modified
in
response
to
changing
conditions.
Now,
I
was
here
30
years
ago,
I've
been
in
Charlotte
County
for
34
years,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
30
years
ago
there
was
not
the
level
of
traffic
that
you
see
now
at
this
intersection
30
years
ago.
Q
This
was
not
a
signalized
intersection.
Things
at
this
corner
have
changed
and
that
change
is
one
of
the
things
that
is
giving
rise
to
this
request.
Your
zoning
code
contains
a
process
for
changing
zoning
for
a
reason,
because
you
need
to
retain
that
ability.
You
need
to
allow
for-profit
properties
and
things
to
change
over
time.
Your
downtown
today
looks
nothing
like
what
it
looked
like
30
years
ago,
and
it
will
look
different
thirty
years
from
now,
and
you
need
that
ability
to
change
with
the
times.
Courts
have
repeatedly
said
that
zoning
is
not
a
contract.
Q
No
one
can
rely
on
zoning,
even
the
owner
of
the
property,
because
there
have
been
cases
where
a
property
owner
purchased
a
piece
of
property
because
of
the
zoning
had
the
zoning
changed
by
the
local
government
and
was
told
you
can't
rely
on
the
zoning.
That's
on
that
property,
unless
you
have
done
something
more
in
a
lies,
if
there's
a
building
up
there,
that's
different,
but
a
vacant
piece
of
property,
and
that
seems
to
be
an
ongoing
misunderstanding
in
the
city.
Q
And
the
other
thing
that
I
want
to
address
is
that
the
decision
on
whether
to
rezone
is
based
on
substantial
competent
evidence
presented
to
you,
measured
against
specific
factors
that
are
identified.
One
of
those
factors
is
not
do
the
neighbors
want
this
to
occur.
I'm,
not
saying
that
you
should
not
take
that
into
account
that
you
don't
considered
sure
you
are
our
elected
officials
and
I
understand
that
you
think
about
those
things.
Q
You
heard
from
your
professional
planning
staff
that
this
is
consistent
with
your
comprehensive
plan
and
meets
the
requirements
that
you
set
forth
for
a
rezoning.
You
have
my
application,
which
can
an
exhaustive
analysis
of
consistency
with
the
comp
plan
and
which
also
addresses
the
compatibility
and
the
consistency
with
your
LDRs.
Q
Though
you
may
not
consider
it
in
your
decision,
because
you
must
only
look
at
the
factors,
this
property
is
now
limited
to
what
can
occur
and
where
it
can
occur.
That
limitation
runs
with
the
property
and
will
be
binding,
not
just
on
my
client,
but
on
anyone
to
whom
he
would
sell
the
property.
At
some
point,
common
sense
has
to
come
into
play.
I
understand
what
your
code
says.
I
understand
the
list
of
uses.
Q
I
understand
that,
yes,
technically,
you
could
put
a
bail
bondsmen
on
this
corner,
but
really
is
anybody
really
gonna
put
a
bail
bondsmen
on
this
corner?
Is
my
client
who's
going
to
have
by
deed
restriction,
residential
uses
behind
this
commercial
going
to
put
allow
a
bail
bondsman
to
be
on
this
corner?
Common
sense
has
to
come
into
play,
but,
most
importantly,
the
evidence
has
to
come
into
play
and
the
evidence
that
has
been
presented
to
you
overwhelmingly
supports
approval
of
this
project
and
that's
what
I
asked
for
now.
Thank
you.
C
Second,
to
close,
the
public
hearing
all
in
favor
aye
opposed
carried
unanimously
I
would
just
like
to
disclose
that
I
have
talked
to
developers
several
times
as
of
a
year
ago.
Possibly
this
project
is
what
has
come
to
light
he's
been
consistent
about
the
project
that
he's
put
forward,
which
you
see
have
seen
today
did
have
conversations
with
him.
Just
you
know
this
week
on
the
the
deed
restrictions
that
he
had
planned
to
impose
so
I
just
wanted
to
disclose
that
I've
had
I
have
had
those
conversations.
R
C
B
Law
does
allow
for
the
individual
council
members
to
speak
one-on-one
with
anyone.
Members
of
the
public
members
of
the
applicant,
but
I
will
I
will
also
say
that
the
rules
of
the
game
are
that
the
decision
that's
being
made
must
be
made
based
on
the
evidence
and
testimony
presented
today.
So
I
know
the
City
Council
members
are
aware
of
that
and
for
your
benefit
as
well.
Thank.
S
Lease
Hanan
zoning
official
they
will
go
through
the
development
review
process,
which
is
staff
level
review
for
all
technical
reviews,
meaning
stormwater
setbacks,
architectural
provisions,
anything
that
restricts
this
zoning
district
and
it
goes
through
staff
level
review
it's
about
a
four
to
six
week
process
and
then
it
can
if
they
meet
all
the
requirements
and
get
the
sign-offs
they
can
move
forward
for
building
permit.
If
I
could
make
a
one
quick
comment.
S
T
One
is
guaranteed
the
rights
and
privileges
of
the
zone
in
which
the
property
lies
not
guaranteed
that
the
property
owned
by
other
people
is
gonna,
be
zoned
exactly
the
way
forever.
In
the
historic
district
where
my
great-great-grandparents
house
was
on
Olympia,
it
was
residential.
All
of
Olympia
east
of
41
is
now
commercial.
Rezoning
is
a
normal
process
in
evolution
of
the
city.
T
Well,
one
thing
by
right:
the
developer,
as
of
now,
can
build
a
multi-story
building.
50
foot
over
over
flood
doesn't
have
to
come
to
us
to
build
on
this
property
and
which
means
a
building
will
be
on
that
property.
Simply
opposing
the
building
doesn't
mean,
there's
gonna
be
no
building.
There
means
there
will
be.
The
building
of
the
question
is
doing.
Is
it
gonna
be
a
developing
which
is
gonna
be
in
our
best
interest?
R
U
You
know
it
is
tough
I,
listen
to
the
the
testimony
presented
today
and
I
understand
the
changing
needs
and
under
flecked
on
that
property
and
how
the
Isles
Yacht
Club
has
changed
in
its
in
its
presence
on
jamaica
way,
since
it
has
expanded
its
facility
and
is
the
now
the
banquet
center
for
many
organizations
to
hold
event
severe
and
the
parking
issues
that
can
persist
and
also
understand
that
as
the
community
has
evolved,
what
there
may
not
have
been
a
signalized
intersection
there.
It
creates
a
problem
at
that
corner
is
to
who
would
build
something.
U
That's
residential
at
that
corner
with
there's
so
much
traffic
right
by
it.
So
I
I
think
what
I
look
at
what
is
potentially
you'd
as
a
buffer,
as
you
will,
if
you
will
so
it's
trying
to
ponder
this
and
with
respect
to
the
residents
and
understand
the
nature
of
the
the
neighborhood.
It
certainly
appears
that
this
would
be
a
much
less
intense
use.
Yes
much
less
intense
use
than
if
there
were
thirteen
condominiums
they're.
U
C
C
What
we've
been
shown
all
along
has
been
very
consistent
and
the
person
is
very
established
and
has
built
many
many
beautiful
homes
in
Punta
Gorda
Isles
I
used
to
live
on
Lewis
Circle,
which
is
not
too
far
from
this
area,
and
behind
me,
was
the
professional
building
and
for
those
of
you
who
were
here
before
Hurricane
Charley,
you
can
realize
that
there
was
a
whole
bunch
of
commercial
buildings.
A
big
pretty
much
like
a
strip.
Clausa
of
dry
cleaners
may
have
been
a
bank
in
there
look.
She's
else
was
in
there
long.
C
Office
law
office-
and
it
was
basically
caddy
corner
from
from
this
property,
and
it
was
convenient,
I
mean
that's
where
I
used
the
dry
cleaners
there,
all
of
the
time
and
I
did
utilize
those
businesses
that
were
there-
and
you
know
I
that
was
20
plus
years
ago,
and
that's
that's
not
there.
Hurricane
Charley
took
that
down,
but
just
living
in
that
area
at
the
time
I
didn't
the
traffic
didn't
really
affect
my
daily.
So
from
my
experience
living
over
in
that
area,
when
there
was
even
more
commercial
activity,
I
still
loved
it.
C
So
I
am
happy
about
the
deed
restrictions.
I
think.
The
other
thing
that
is
lost
is
that
people
do
come
here
after
the
Planning
Commission
and
then
they
come
to
the
City
Council
meeting
and
they
get
upset
that
things
have
changed.
But
that
is
really
the
process
and
from
what
we've
heard
is
that
they
did
listen,
they
did
meet
with
concerned
neighbors
and
that's
really
what
the
process
is
all
about.
C
So
I
want
to
commend
them
from
going
that
extra
extra
mile
and
meeting
with
the
people
that
were
concerned,
and,
of
course
you
know
after
we
listened
to
saw
the
minutes
from
the
Planning
Commission
I
believe
some
of
you
attended.
They
did
have
legitimate
concerns,
and
most
of
that
has
been
addressed
in
my,
in
my
opinion,
I.
V
Would
agree
with
all
that
Rachel
I
sat
in
on
the
Planning
Commission
hearing
and
I
think
part
of
the
problem
that
the
Planning
Commission
hearing
is
that
there
were
no
photos
or
the
renderings
of
what
this
project
was
going
to
look
like,
because
essentially
they
were
only
able
to
vote
on
the
actual
rezoning
request,
and
that
was
it
and-
and
we
should
be
doing
that
too.
However,
since
the
applicant
has
brought
forward
the
what
he
plans
to
do
on
the
property,
I
have
had
numerous
conversations
with
mr.
V
Farhat
I
had
a
couple
of
meetings
with
some
of
the
citizens
that
live
in
south
winds
and
and
I'm.
Confident
that
most
of
the
questions
and
concerns
have
been
addressed.
I
know,
Mr
farhat
is
a
very
reputable
gentleman
and
very
he's
a
good
guy
and
I
have
to
give
him
the
benefit
of
the
doubt
that
he's
not
going
to
go
back
on
his
word
and
he's,
given
us
every
indication
that
he
plans
to
be
here
for
the
duration
and
that
he
would
like
to
be
a
good
citizen
in
the
community.
V
He
has
beautiful
projects,
as
Rachel
stated.
He's
done
a
lot
of
great
projects
in
the
city,
not
just
in
PGI
but
all
throughout
the
city
of
Punta
Gorda
and
beyond,
and
he
he
I
I
believe
that
he's
a
man
of
his
word
and
I
happened
to
think
this
project
is
a
beautiful
one.
I
think
that
once
these
buildings
are
built,
although
all
the
questions
and
concerns
will
go
away
very
quickly,
because
I
think
you're
gonna
see
it's
a
beautiful
product.
V
I
also
did
suggest
to
him
that
he
might
consider,
rather
than
a
commercial
building,
that
he
might
consider
putting
an
amenity
for
the
five
houses
at
on
that
corner.
If
that
becomes
a
if
it
becomes
a
really
major
problem
and
they
can't
find
a
business
that
they
would
like
to
put
in
there,
that's
a
good
fit
that
perhaps
they
could
do
a
pool,
a
common
area
pool
or
a
clubhouse,
or
something
like
that.
V
Having
mentioned
that,
we
talked
also
about
the
fact
that
that
would
involve
an
HOA
and
that
might
be
another
whole
different
set
of
problems.
So
I
don't
know
what
he's
going
to
put
on
that
corner,
but
I
am
confident
that
it's
not
going
to
be
something
that's
going
to
stick
out
like
a
sore
thumb
in
the
community.
I
think
he's
I,
think
he's
better
than
that
and
and
I
really
think
that
this
project
warrants
approval.
C
U
I
reflect
on
this
as
well
I
think
about
my
own
neighborhood
in
burnt
star
Isles
and
what
has
come
before
us.
It's
been
for
the
Planning
Commission
been
before
Council,
and
that
is
properties
along
the
dred,
and
we
had
to
do
some
soul-searching
about
our
those,
the
properties
where
they
are
actually
zoned
general
multifamily
15
units
per
acre,
but
we,
the
reality,
is
that
these
properties
that
are
crossed
in
the
shopping
center
are
not
necessarily
perhaps
the
most
optimum
place
for
the
residential
properties.
So
we
did.
U
This
was
under
a
special
exception
that
we
did
under
a
special
exception,
approve
a
use
that
was
commercial
use,
but
it
was
low-impact
and
it
would
generate
less
traffic
and
the
neighborhood
actually
supported
it.
Because
we
looked
at
the
reality
of
the
situation
and
we
said
things
have
changed:
it's
not
what
it
was.
Even
though
it's
planted
that
way.
It
does
meaning
that
it's
working
now,
the
way
it
was
plaited
to
be
so
I
think
you
know
as
I'm.
C
R
Think
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
new
product
for
Punta
Gorda.
That
really
is
I
think
is
also
personally
find
quite
attractive.
It's
a
little
bit
different
than
what
has
typically
been
offered
in
in
in
our
area.
I
think
that
is
seen
into
what's,
things
are
going
to
be
like
in
the
future,
far-reaching
of
that
way.
I
understand
the
odd
aspect
of
this
little
piece
that
he
would
like
to
make
commercial
I
find.
R
This
particular
developer
is
going
the
extra
mile
to
temper
the
concerns
of
the
citizens,
and
we've
heard
some
individuals
who,
after
hearing
the
testimony
today
expressed
that
that
was
and
that
he
has
been
open
to
discussing
his
with
them.
So
I
have
a
feeling
that
this
negotiation
isn't
fully
done
with
the
neighborhood
yet,
but
within
with
the
reason
I
think
they'll
still
probably
be
some
tweaking.
R
This
is
an
entrepreneur
who
is
bringing
a
exciting
new
product
to
put
the
Gordon
in
a
place
where
it
fits
an
upscale
product
on
an
upscale
with
a
lower
impact
than
a
cookie-cutter
product
would
have
I.
Think
that
wasn't
used,
but
I
think
that's.
The
point
is,
is
they
could
be
a
cookie-cutter
product
here
that
wouldn't
fit
as
well
as
the
way
this
particular
area
is
developing,
and
so
with
that
I
have
to
say
that
I
I've
had
this
conversation
really
a
couple
of
years
he's
been
very
consistent
in
what
his
vision
was.
