Dear
father,
in
heaven
we
ask
that
you
bless
our
meeting
today
and
uplift
our
thoughts
so
that
we
make
unique
8
with
each
other,
with
a
deep
understanding
of
the
needs
of
those
we
serve.
We
give
grateful
things
to
the
friendships
the
associations
offered
us
and
the
inspiration
we
receive
from
each
other
that
respect
for
the
others
and
their
ideas,
be
our
standard.
May
thy
grace
be
with
this
council
and
their
appointed
staff
and
guide
them
in
fulfillment
of
their
duties
and
decisions,
amen.
A
A
And
whereas
city
government
officials
and
employees
share
the
responsibility
to
pass
along
the
understanding
of
public
services
and
their
benefits
and
whereas
Florida
City
Government
Week
offers
an
important
opportunity
for
elected
officials
and
city
staff
to
spread
the
word
to
all
citizens
that
they
can
shape
and
influence.
This
branch
of
government
and
whereas
the
Florida
League
of
Cities
and
its
member
cities
joined
together
to
teach
citizens
about
municipal
government
through
a
variety
of
activities.
A
Now,
therefore,
the
City
Council
of
the
city
of
Punta,
Gorda
Florida,
does
hereby
proclaim
the
week
of
October
23rd
through
29th
2017,
as
Florida
City
Government
Week,
and
encourages
all
citizens,
city,
government
officials
and
employees
to
participate
in
events
that
recognize
and
celebrate
Florida
city
government
week
past
and
duly
adopted
in
regular
session.
This
18th
day
of
October
2017,
Rachael,
Kiessling,
mayor
and
I
will
present
this
to
our
city
manager,
Howard
Kunik,
congratulations.
C
A
And
now
we
have
a
presentation
from
one
of
the
people
that
helped
us
after
the
hurricane,
so
Howard
the
hauler.
If
you'd
like
to
come
up
either
podium
I
know
you
have
a
light.
Last
name
you're,
not
just
Howard
the
hauler.
You
know
the
hauler
is
not
your
last
name
so
state
your
last
name
for
the
record
for
us
Turner,
okay,.
D
Our
Turner
I'm,
a
project
manager
with
Crowder
Gulf,
were
based
in
Theodore
Alabama
and
so
I've
worked
for
them
since,
like
2003,
when
is
it
they'll
blue,
through
Virginia
I'm,
a
Virginia
resident
and
I've,
worked
off
and
on
farm
over
the
years
and
have
come
back
to
work
full
time.
So
y'all
are
my
first
event
after
being
brought
on
as
an
employee.
D
This
time
always
been
a
subcontractor
to
them,
but
I
want
to
thank
the
city,
the
residents,
all
the
departments,
especially
Public,
Works
and
utilities,
for
all
the
cooperation
and
help
and
assistance
that
you
gave
us
our
goal
of
cleaning
debris
off
the
streets
of
your
city,
believe
it
or
not.
There's
not
always
that
level
and
sense
of
participation
from
the
municipalities
we
work
for.
D
So
it
was
quite
enjoyable
that
the
sense
I
got
as
soon
as
I
walked
in
was
that
hey
we're
going
to
help
you
do
whatever
you
need
to
do
because
that'll
help
everybody,
and
that
is
absolutely
true,
so
certainly
Marc
I
started
with
Marc,
first
and
I
guess
I
wore
him
out.
Rick
only
took
two
or
three
days
and
I
guess
I
think
got
old.
D
We
work
very
well
together.
He
was
fabulous.
The
girls
in
the
office,
everybody
I,
came
in
contact
with.
If
I
asked
most
times.
There
was
somebody
to
give
me
some
assistance.
You
know
for
whatever
we
might
need,
so
that
was
really
nice
and
want
to
thank
you
and
that's
the
way
it
should
be
and
I
commend
you
on
that.
Thank.
A
D
One
little
data
note
is
we
work
24
straight
days
started
on
September
23rd
finished
on
October
16th.
We
hauled
361
loads
to
the
Charlotte
County
landfill
and
that
equated
to
seventeen
thousand
eight
hundred
and
fifteen
cubic
yards
of
material.
We
deliver
that
to
the
composting
facility
in
the
back
by
the
name
of
synagro,
so
they're
gonna
have
a
beneficial
reuse
for
that
which
is
always
nice.
D
Just
don't
bring
storm
with
you
when
you
come
so
I
do
understand
that,
and
should
you
all
need
services
again
for
another
storm
event,
we're
ready
to
assist
you
and
whatever
way
we
can
to
do
that
I
do
have
one
little
thing.
I
need
to
say
is
that
when
I
first
got
here,
my
name's
Howard,
so
obviously
there's
another
Howard
and
for
the
first
two
or
three
days
I
mean
I,
usually
try
to
get
everybody
to
love
me
right
off
the
bat
and
that
all
works
good
and
in
two
or
three
days
time.
D
D
D
A
Yeah
I
came
home
and
the
pile
was
gone,
but
it
was
in
the
middle
of
the
street
with
a
bobcat
and
the
Bobcat
didn't
have
any
wheel
on
the
back
of
it.
So
it
was
a
good.
The
neighborhood
got
a
nice
little
community
meeting
out
of
watching
the
Howard
put
his
bobcat
back
together,
yeah
and
that
girl.
That
was
running
that
thing
she
was
amazing.
She
was
really
good,
so
we
got
it
cleaned
up,
Thank,
You
Howard!
Thank
you.
So
much.
D
A
They
want
your
truck
somewhere,
I'm
sure,
okay,
introduction
of
board
committee
member
nominees.
If
your
name
is
in
the
running
for
a
border
Committee-
and
you
would
like
to
introduce
yourself
now-
would
be
the
time.
Are
there
any
people
that
are
in
the
running
for
a
board
seat
that
would
like
to
introduce
themselves
okay,
seeing
none,
we
will
move
into
the
public
hearing
agenda.
The
first
is
with
of
which
is
se0
4-1
7.
Yes,.
E
F
G
Morning
for
the
record,
Lisa
Hannon
zoning,
official
and
I
have
been
sworn
I'd
like
to
enter
the
entire
staff
report
into
the
record
by
reference.
We'll
give
a
summary
of
the
request
in
2007
and
more
stoop,
you
associated
incorporated
submitted
a
special
exception
application
to
convert
the
then
Walmart
vacant,
Wal
Mart
to
an
indoor
storage
facility,
along
with
a
motorcycle
sale
service
center.
No
outdoor
storage
was
requested
with
their
final
application.
That
request
was
approved
unanimously
by
City
Council
November
21st
2007,
however,
was
never
implemented.
G
Therefore,
the
special
exception
0
4
0
7
expired
two
years
after
the
approval,
robert
Bernsen
agent
for
Charlotte
41
properties,
LLC
has
submitted
an
application
to
come
to
convert
the
muscle-car
city
museum
to
an
air-conditioned
indoor
storage
facility,
along
with
accessory
parking
for
RVs
and
rental
trucks
within
a
16-foot
tall
walled
area
in
the
rear
and
the
Planning
Commission
DRC
and
urban
design
do
recommend
approval
of
this
request.
We
are
here
to
answer
any
other
questions.
The
committee
counsel
may
have.
H
I
guess
first
I
need
to
state
that
I
have
met
the
applicant
at
a
burn,
store
aisles,
Association
meeting
that
the
Association
had.
It
was
not
especially
arranged
meeting
for
between
me
and
the
applicant,
but
I
was
there
and
we
spoke.
I
do
have
a
question
for
Lisa
when
it
comes
to
the
staff
recommendations,
I'll
use
the
based
upon
the
stated
conclusions.
No,
you
had
conditions
and
there
were
two
conditions.
H
A
G
The
staff
recommended
conditions
of
approval
that
the
16-foot
tall
buffer
wall
be
constructed
of
materials,
congruous
to
the
primary
sure
and
be
painted
to
match.
Additional
landscaping
will
be
required
to
be
installed
along
the
east
and
west
portions
of
the
buffer
wall
and
the
existing
landscaping.
This
condition
number
two
I'm.
Sorry.
The
existing
landscaping
must
be
brought
up
to
the
current
landscaping
code
for
the
site,
including
parking
buffering
and
potential
right
away
issues.
I
Good
morning,
Rob
Bernsen
Big
W
Law
Firm
a
little
intimidating
coming
up
after
Howard
the
hauler.
There
was
so
much
energy,
but
this
is
just
as
an
exciting
project.
We
are
here
requesting
your
approval
of
this
indoor
storage
facility
with
the
accessory
outside
parking
for
RVs
and
rental
vehicles.
We
thank
the
staff.
It's
been
a
pleasure
working
with
them
through
this
process
and
we
joined
in
the
staff
report
and
the
conditions
as
presented
and
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
Thank.
I
A
So
you're
just
basically
taking
the
existing
building
and
turning
it
into
an
indoor
facility,
no
motorcycles
that
went
away
with
the
first
special
exception
right.
Okay,
all
right,
any
other
questions
for
the
applicant.
No,
this
is
a
public
hearing.
If
you
would
like
to
speak
on
se0
4-1
7
now
would
be
the
time.
Would
anybody
like
to
speak
on
0,
4-1
7?
Please
make
your
way
to
the
podium
state,
your
name.
You
have
three
minutes.
J
Last
month,
the
developer
invited
all
of
Berks
trials
to
a
meeting
at
muscle-car
City
Museum
about
50
of
us
showed
up.
We
heard
a
detailed
presentation
about
their
vision
for
what
they
had
planned
to
do
with
the
property.
The
residents
have
some
great
questions
and
they
were
answered
very
thoroughly.
J
I
heard
nothing
but
supportive
comments
during
the
entire
meeting
and
the
meeting
ended
with
a
hearty
round
of
applause,
and
since
that
time
the
Association
has
heard
nothing
but
positive
feedback
about
the
project,
and
so
we'd
like
to
recommend
to
the
council
that
they
approve
the
special
exception
and
let
the
project
go
forward
and
we're
happy
to
welcome
them
to
the
neighborhood.
Thank
you
thank.
A
A
K
E
A
Your
motion
included
and
your
second
okay,
with
the
two
conditions,
as
stated
by
staff
all
in
favor
aye
opposed
carried
unanimously.
Yes,
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
reaching
out
to
the
neighborhood.
That's
a
very
important
part
of
the
process
like
to
hear
that
every
time
next
we
have
GA
0,
5,
1
7.
Yes,.
E
This
is
a
non
quasi-judicial
public
hearing
and
it's
the
first
reading
of
an
ordinance.
That's
all
read
by
title:
only
annoyance
of
the
city
of
Punta
Gorda
Florida
amending
point
to
go
to
code,
chapter
10
yard,
waste,
solid
waste
and
recycling;
article
Roman,
numeral,
2,
solid
waste,
amending
section,
10,
11,
increasing
the
monthly
fee
for
removal
and
disposal
of
curbside
recycling
services
providing
for
conflict
and
severability
and
providing
an
effective
date
as
part.
C
K
A
A
H
L
A
E
And
this
is
the
first
reading
of
an
ordinance
which
will
read
my
title:
only
in
ordinance
of
the
city
of
Punta
Gorda,
Florida,
amending
chapter
16
park,
regulations
of
the
Punta
Gorda
code,
amending
section
16,
two
definitions
and
by
adding
a
new
section:
16
10,
Vietnam
veterans,
memorial
of
Southwest
Florida
rules
and
regulations
providing
for
conflict
and
severability
and
providing
an
effective
date.
Thank
you.
M
Good
morning,
Michaela
Finkel
paralegal
for
the
record.
This
is
just
an
ordinance
of
general
nature,
adopting
the
rules
that
was
already
discussed
by
City
Council
for
the
Vietnam
Memorial
area,
not
the
entire
practice.
The
memorial
area
shown
up
here,
it's
kind
of
hard
to
see.
That's
a
draft
mock-up
of
what
the
signs
look
like
that
will
be
on
either
end
at
the
plazas
there'll
be
two
on
the
east
and
west
plazas.
M
And
then
there
will
be
a
guess:
we
called
it
a
wayfinding
sign
when
we
redo
the
front
of
the
park
that
will
outline
this
area
in
case
there's
questions
we
did
include
one
thing
we
did
include
when
this
was
presented:
the
wall
area
when
the
line
went
from
plaza
de
Plaza
across
the
pond.
The
way
the
ordinance
is
written,
we
included
the
entire
pond
just
to
keep
someone
from
fishing
in
the
pond,
or
something
like
that.
So.
M
A
A
N
Morning,
my
name
is
michael
hirsh.
Epona
go
to
resident
for
15
years,
I
spent
most
of
1966
as
an
Army
Combat
correspondent
in
Vietnam,
and
but
for
dumb
luck
on
multiple
occasions.
I'd
be
unable
to
address
you
this
morning,
because
my
name
would
be
on
that
wall.
The
names
of
three
of
my
buddies,
fellow
Army
journalists
are
on
it.
So
it
should
be
crystal
clear
then,
that
I
understand
what
the
memorial
wall
is
all
about.
I've
spent
my
adult
life.
As
a
journalist
and
an
author,
my
life
has
been
all
about
the
First
Amendment.
N
This
proposed
ordinance
is
a
misguided
attempt
by
government
to
allayed
speech.
It
attempts
to
delineate
what
citizens
can
say
and
what
they
can't
say
within
a
relatively
large
area
of
a
public
park.
You
can't
do
that,
even
though
your
intentions
may
be
honorable,
your
actions
will
be
unconstitutional
and
that
could
be
a
financially
costly
error.
Don't
take
my
word
for
it.
N
I
sent
a
copy
of
the
proposed
law,
along
with
photos
of
the
area
to
a
nationally
recognized
First
Amendment
expert
David
Goldberger
was
the
civil
liberties
attorney
who
represented
the
Nazis
in
the
infamous
Skokie
case.
Here
are
his
comments.
He
says
protecting
the
solemnity.
The
Morial
does
not
justify
a
flat
ban
on
all
speech
activities
in
the
entire
area.
The
First
Amendment
requires
that
restrictions
like
these
be
narrowly
tailored
and
not
ham-handed.
You
put
the
wall
in
a
public
space.
N
The
speech
are
trying
to
prevent,
does
not
interfere
with
the
use
of
the
memorial
in
any
way
by
people
who
are
going
to
view
it.
You
are
limited
by
law
to
reasonable
regulation
of
time,
place
or
manner
of
speech,
and
a
flat
ban
such
as
you're
proposing,
is
not
such
a
regulation,
its
censorship.
If
20
members
of
the
VFW
showed
up
in
uniform
on
Veterans
Day
to
pay
respects
by
standing
in
formation
shoulder
to
shoulder
near
the
wall,
they
would
be
in
violation
of
your
ordinance.
The
way
it's
written
would
you
arrest
them?
N
Finally,
David
said:
I
should
remind
you
that
attorneys
fees
are
awarded
in
civil
liberties
cases.
In
other
words,
he
said
they
should
have
their
checkbook
ready
and,
finally,
who
do
you
expect
to
enforce
this
law?
The
Punta
Gorda
Police
Department,
the
PG
PD,
needs
to
be
rehabilitating
its
image,
not
creating
opportunities
for
more
nationwide
ridicule
or
don't
you
think,
arresting
a
group
of
non-violent
citizens
demonstrating
at
the
wall
against
this
country.
Getting
into
another
military
misadventure
would
draw
a
negative
media
attention.
N
I
urge
you
not
to
get
into
a
situation
where
you'll
have
to
spend
tens
of
thousands
of
tax
dollars
on
legal
fees,
to
defend
your
position
in
federal
court
post,
reasonable
signage
and
rely
on
the
decency
of
the
vast
majority
of
visitors
to
the
area.
Attempting
to
mandate
respectful
behavior
is
folly
and
not
good
governance
or
a
good
use
of
the
police
force
or
our
tax
dollars.
Thank
you.
A
E
Prepared
I
wasn't
anticipating
this,
but
I'm
prepared
to
respond.
You
know
we
I
gave
you
a
memorandum
not
too
long
ago,
distinguishing
between
open
public
forum,
limited
open
public
forum
and
non-public
forum
and
I
think
traditionally,
veterans
Park.
This
area
has
not
been
considered
or
designated
by
the
city
as
open
public
forum
and
and
the
US
Supreme
Court
recognizes
our
ability
to
designate
open
public
forum
that
traditionally
had
not
been
considered
as
such
and
to
limit
public
forum
public
areas
for
specific
purposes.
Quite
frankly,
I
see
nothing
contrary
to
what
we're
doing.
E
Given
the
fact
that
it's
a
very
limited
area,
it
would
not
prevent
the
kinds
of
demonstrations
protests
whatever
that
could
be
done
outside
of
the
designated
area.
So
the
restrictions
that
we
have
imposed
for
the
sanctity
of
the
purpose
for
which
this
park
has
been
designated
I
think
would
be
uphol
upheld
by
by
federal
law.
A
A
A
A
E
Me
suggest
to
you
just
by
way
of
some
some
reference.
Even
the
US
Supreme
Court,
building
in
Washington
DC
is
recognized
as
not
being
an
open
public
forum
for
unlimited
discussion,
demonstrations,
etc.
So
I
mean
it
is
recognized
that
just
because
it
may
be
a
public
area
that
it
does
not
need
to
be
open
for
all
public
discourse.
E
L
A
E
E
A
Creating
another
meeting
from
this
meeting:
okay,
thank
you.
We
already
heard
the
quasi-judicial
public
hearing
and
we
have
no
second
readings
or
resolutions
on
this
agenda,
but
we
do
have
next.
We
have
the
consent
agenda
and
there
are
1
2,
3,
4
5
items
on
the
consent
agenda,
which
would
be
approval
of
the
regular.
The
minutes
of
the
regular
meeting
of
October
4th
the
letter
of
support
from
the
Regional
Planning
Council
that
we
discussed
at
the
last
meeting
and
then
two
legal
invoices.
Does
anybody
want
to
pull
anything
off
the
consent
agenda.
C
A
A
A
O
Jean
Martha,
the
Punta,
Gorda
Historical,
Society
and
request
is
on
the
agenda
for
consideration
of
either
forgiveness
or
postponement
of
the
business
tax,
and
it's
solely
because
of
the
financial
position
that
the
Historical
Society
is
in
myself
and
marketable
goddess
who's.
The
president
sitting
here
I
got
involved
this
year,
yeah
a
request
of
many
to
try
to
bring
some
business
principles
to
it,
and
the
Society
Historical,
Society,
I,
have
to
say
I'm
kind
of
like
was
in
dire
need
of
some
really
financial
management
has
structure
and
budgeting,
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
O
P
P
It's
a
intriguing
subject:
I'm
very
anxious
to
see
the
discussion
of
the
council
on
that
item,
particularly
the
rationale
that
would
be
in
support
of
such
an
action
but
in
any
event,
I
think
it's
most
of
appropriate
to
elicit
comment
for
both
of
the
both
of
those
boards
and
with
that,
I
would
like
to
see
this
placed
on
our
next
planning
agenda
as
a
discussion
item
of
the
planning
board
and
would
also
suggest
it
to
be
appropriate
to
do
the
same
thing
with
the
zoning.
Thank
you.
Q
Good
morning,
Harvey
Goldberg
city,
Punta
Gorda,
just
a
couple
of
comments
on
the
brand
new
strategic
communications
plan.
There's
an
old
saying
that
goes
something
like
if
you're,
not
certain
where
you're
going
any
road
will
get
you
there.
This
plan
will
get
get
the
city
where
we
need
to
go.
We
need
to
be
for
now
and
in
the
future,
it's
a
great
plan
and
it's
a
terrific
blueprint
and
roadmap
to
help
make
our
city
even
more
successful
than
it
is
right
now.
Thank
you.
B
C
A
C
About
a
month
ago,
and
the
request
is
that
the
local
business
tax
Historical
Society
because
of
their
financial
issues,
they
want
it
either
waived
or
forgiven
for
a
year.
The
city
attorney
has
opined
that
you
can't
do
that.
However,
local
business
tax,
just
like
an
impact
fee,
has
to
be
paid
if
City
Council
wants
to,
they
can
take
dollars
from
another
account
city,
council,
reserve,
city,
council,
contingency
or
reserve,
and
pay
the
tax
for
the
Historical
Society.
C
C
M
K
I
think
it's
worthwhile
I
mean
like
I
said
we
were
speaking
with
them.
We
work
trying
to
postpone
it,
but
it's
not
legal
to
postpone
it.
I
do
think
it's
worthwhile
to
cover
this
I
think
that
the
new
leadership
has
taken
on
a
very
difficult
job
of
trying
to
restructure
the
society
and
just
ran
into
some
internal
difficulties
and
resistance.
In
doing
so.
This
is
fine.
K
H
A
L
A
E
C
A
L
C
C
C
R
I
asked
Howard
to
put
this
on
the
agenda
because
the
dock
match
program
that
we
set
up
with
the
boaters
Alliance
it
has
taken
off
like
Buster's
gang
I
mean
we
had
a
great
article.
That
was
in
the
paper
last
week
about
it,
and
we
were
on
wint
news
and
several
other
news
media
sources.
We
did
a
radio
interview
with
Ken
Lovejoy
and
we've
gotten
over
60
people
already
who
have
volunteered
their
docks
for
letting
people
use
them
short
term,
while
their
sea
walls
are
replaced
and
I'm
ecstatic
about
that.
R
Boaters
Alliance
has
entered
into
a
great
community
service
partnership
with
us
on
this
and
when
I
happen
to
notice
that
there
is
an
ordinance
that
says,
can't
rent
your
dock,
I've
received
phone
calls
and
emails
from
several
of
the
people
who
are
offering
dock
space,
and
a
couple
of
them
did
ask
if
they
could
charge
for
it
and
I
said
I
think
you
can.
But
let
me
get
back
to
you
because
I
know
there's
an
ordinance
in
place.
R
So
I
think
we
just
need
to
waive
that
part
of
the
ordinance
short
term
so
that
we
can
allow
these
people
to
move
their
dock
and
move
their
boats
to
a
different
dock,
while
they're
having
their
sea
walls
replaced,
but
special
kudos
to
the
boaters
Alliance
for
their
proactive
attitude
about
this
whole
thing
and
all
of
their
help.
It's
been
really
helpful
to
all
of
us.
I.
E
So
one
of
two
things
can
happen:
either
the
Association
can
come
up
with
some
way
to
regulate
that
themselves
and
be
responsible
for
ensuring
that
those
that
volunteered
their
doctorate
work
or
we're
willing
to
allow
the
docks
to
be
used
temporarily
ensured
that
they
were
doing
so
for
bonafide
purposes
or
for
the
purpose
of
the
three
years
just
dispense
with
the
prohibition
in
general
of
leasing
docks,
so
that
you
know
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
policing
potential
violations.
I
would.
R
Go
with
the
latter
of
those
because
we
we
don't
have
the
ability
to
police
it
to
the
extent
where
we
would
be
having
to
interview
each
person.
They
can
go
on
the
voter's
alliance
website
and
sign
up
to
be
part
of
the
program
and
allow
their
doc
and/or
their
lifts
to
be
available
to
people,
and
they
just
don't
have
the
staffing
ability
to
go
ahead
and
police.
Everything
understood.
L
Said
the
vast
majority
of
the
people
that
are
going
to
be
using
this
program
are
decent,
legitimate
people.
Okay,
the
only
way
I
could
see
myself
charging
somebody
to
use
my
dock
as
if
they
put
a
50-foot
symbol
on
and
they
needed
to
plug
into
my
Shore
power.
I
would
certainly
like
they
have
some
subsidy
for
for
the
hundred
bucks
a
month
that
the
electricity
is
going
to
cost,
but
other
than
that
these
are
decent
people.
H
Mechanism
to
monitor
it
today,
so
why
white?
Why
you
get
all
bothered
by
the
fact
that
we
won't?
We
want
somebody
to
have
a
mechanism
tomorrow,
in
my
view,
I
understand
the
need
to
do
this
as
an
emergency
basis,
but
people
see
walls
fail
all
the
time.
So
why
wouldn't
we
just
allow
anyone
who
wants
who
needs
to
move
their
boat
because
their
seawall
is
being
replaced?
Allow
them
to
seek
an
alternate
place
to
put
it
and
and
just
make
it
something
that
that's.
R
E
E
A
Know
we
did
address,
there
were
some
signage
issues
where
people
were
actually
putting
doc
for
rent
signs.
We
did
that
discussion.
That
was
a
while
ago.
That
was
a
couple
years
ago
and
I
think
we
did
say
yeah,
that's
not
allowed.
That
has
to
come
down
so
I
mean
it
has
been.
Some
of
that
has
been
going
on,
but
I
would
agree.
We
don't
want
to
get
into
policing
it,
but
we
may
get
complaints.
We.
C
R
L
There's
also
one
issue
that
probably
wouldn't
occur,
but
could
there
are
some
undeveloped
properties
that
are
zoned
for
a
row
multi-family
that
already
had
the
docks
then,
even
though
the
building's
has
never
been
bought
and
if
some
developer
were
not
ready
to
develop,
but
we
wanted
to
say:
okay,
I
can
get
an
income
by
renting
the
dots.
This
would
be
a
way
to
protect,
protect
this
from
ins
egregious
and.
M
A
K
S
Good
morning
john
LeBeau
urban
design
manager
for
the
record
back
in
April
the
City
Council
directed
staff
to
move
forward
on
a
living
shoreline,
comprehensive
project.
The
concept
of
the
living
shoreline
plan
provides
implementation
of
natural
banks,
stabilization
techniques,
that
incorporate
approaches,
a
combination
of
maybe
wetland
plants,
oyster
reefs
sand,
rocks,
etc,
and
it
is
not
utilized
in
all
areas
only
where
appropriate.
So
the
idea
was
to
provide
shoreline
protection
and
maintain
the
valuable
habitat.
This
idea
was
actually
brought
forward
to
us
by
the
four
point
Sheraton
in
conjunction
with
the
project
they're
working
on.
S
S
So
the
partners
that
are
part
of
this
project
include
the
Nature
Conservancy
with
us.
Today
we
have
dr.
Christine,
Shepherd
and
Ann
birch.
We
have
the
Charlotte
Harbor
National
estuary
program,
Jennifer
Hecker.
We
have
ch2m
our
engineering
group
with
Jason
Byrd
other
partners
that
are
not
present
or
the
aquatic
preserves
the
four
point.
Sheraton
and
then
the
DEP
have
participated
in
all
of
our
project
in
all
of
our
meetings.
S
So
the
living
shorelines,
as
you
can
see
there,
there's
a
seawall.
Some
of
the
ideas
might
be
to
incorporate
the
the
mangroves
some
other
seed
plant.
Some
other
plants
rocks
it's
all
for
the
benefits
of
stabilizing
that
area,
protection
of
the
surrounding
environment
and
improvement
of
the
water
quality,
the
look
of
aesthetics,
so
you
don't
have
that
solid
wall
that
you're
looking
at
it
helps
deploy
some
of
the
wave
action
that
hits
the
those
hard
surfaces
and
then
it
creates
habitat
biodiversity.
S
The
discussion
that
the
partners
have
been
going
over
for
the
last
seven
months
is
to
expanding
this
living
shoreline
project
from
a
single
demonstration
area
to
include
a
regional,
comprehensive
living
shoreline
action
plan.
This
is
an
exciting
opportunity
for
us
to
try
something
to
utilize.
The
natural
based
approaches
to
reduce
the
risk
from
storm
surges
address
the
sea
level
rise
that
is
occurring
and
to
enhance
the
area.
S
The
hotel
property
would
serve
as
a
visual
model
for
other
areas
with
similar
Hardin's
shorelines,
and
then
the
plan
that
we
would
recommend
associate
with
this
project
would
provide
other
areas
and
other
communities
the
prop
the
possibility
of
putting
into
effect
this
type
of
work.
All
of
the
work
would
be
done.
It
would
be
sort
of
an
outline
for
them
to
move
forward,
so
the
city
would
provide
that
as
part
of
their
climate
adaptation
plan.
S
So
the
proposal
that
we're
looking
at
is
actually
to
add
a
component
to
the
update
that
is
coming
up
for
the
city
the
city
is
has
already
been
awarded,
has
already
been
appropriated,
$30,000
for
the
climate
adaptation
plan
update.
It
is
the
2009
update
that
we'll
be
working
on,
and
we
would
like
to
add
to
that
plan
which
would
serve
as
a
model
for
future
projects.
It
would
show
the
power
of
the
public
partner,
prime
partnerships,
that
we
would
build
with
it,
create
an
aesthetically
appealing,
design
and
protect
the
infrastructure
through
enhancement
of
the
shorelines.
S
The
proposal
would
include
that
pilot
project
located
there
on
the
phase
1
picture,
and
it
would
add
one
of
the
some
of
the
things
that
we
could
do
with
that
project
is
add
to
the
trails
that
teach
that
we
could
incorporate
it
into
that
as
well.
Once
the
project
is
in
place,
we
would
then
promote
the
signage
around
that
area,
with
the
trails
that
teach
signage
and
that
would
again
add
to
another
partnership
with
the
community.
S
Continuing
the
proactive
stance
on
coastal
resiliency
planning
that
the
city
has
incorporated
in
the
past
with
the
oyster
reef
restoration
project.
The
second
part
of
the
project
would
include
designing
a
plan
that
others
would
emulate
utilizing.
The
sound
planning
practices
outlined
in
our
2040
comprehensive
plan
that
was
previously
adopted.
The
project
would
expand
strategies
identified
in
the
2009
climate
adaptation
plan.
I,
don't
know
if
you're
aware
of
this,
but
our
plan
has
actually
incorporated
seven
out
of
the
eight
strategies
that
were
provided
to
us
in
that
plan.
S
So
it
is
time
to
move
forward
and
set
a
new
set
of
goals
for
the
city,
as
we
move
forward
with
our
studies.
That
will
be
important
to
incorporate
the
implementation
of
coastal
resiliency
planning
in
other
areas,
and
one
such
item
is
the
build-out
and
transportation
study
that
we're
doing
it's
unusual,
to
have
two
studies
coming
together.
That
would
benefit
from
each
other.
So
it's
important
to
incorporate
those
coastal
resiliency
planning
two
strategies
into
that
plan
as
well
as
previously
mentioned.
S
There
are
a
variety
of
benefits
associated
with
this
plan
and
it
would
address
the
coastal
resiliency
planning
and
increase
our
information
on
storm
risk
and
the
changing
climate.
Again,
we
would
showcase
the
power
of
public-private
partnership.
Since
the
community
actually
came
to
us
it's
a
little
different.
We
don't
have
to
go
to
them,
they're,
actually
trying
to
help
us
figure
out
a
way
to
do
this.
The
protection
of
our
shorelines.
We
all
know
that
the
Charlotte
Harbor
is
a
jewel
to
the
city
and
it
is
our
economic
engine.
S
So
we
would
like
to
protect
that
in
the
future.
The
creation
of
the
habitat
for
the
marine
life
again,
adding
to
that
protection
of
our
Harbor.
The
improvement
in
the
water
quality
again
adds
to
the
area's
economic
base,
and
that
is
an
investment
that
is
a
win-win
for
everybody,
not
only
the
property
owners,
but
the
residents,
the
community
and
our
local
businesses.
So
as
we
move
forward,
there's
always
the
estimated
budgets
so
looking
at
the
pilot
year,
one
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you
aware
that
these
are
proposed
budgets.
S
They
would
have
to
be
proofed
and
checked,
but
the
good
thing
to
think
about
is
that
the
group
that
we
are
associated
with
the
partners
that
we
have
formed
we
have
all
worked
together
in
the
past.
Tnc
has
worked
with
the
city
for
over
10
years.
Tnc
is
working
with
our
engineering
group
ch2m
on
other
projects.
S
So
looking
at
that
the
pilot
project
in
year,
one
$50,000
is
expected
to
be
the
cost
of
the
planning,
design
and
survey
costs,
and
then
the
bulk
of
that
project
will
be
the
engineering
and
construction
costs
and
we
would
be
looking
for
grants
and
other
opportunities
to
pay
for
that,
as
this
will
be
a
multi-year
project.
A
critical
piece
of
the
completion
of
the
plan
update
is
incorporated
in
the
city's
budget
for
the
30,000
climate
adaptation
plan.
S
We
feel
that
by
adding
$15,000
additional
we
can
actually
do
a
living
shoreline
element
as
part
of
that
plan
and
then
therefore,
in
the
future.
If
that
was
a
result
of
our
climate
adaptation
plan
strategies
that
would
come
out,
we
would
be
able
to
save
money
by
incorporating
it
now,
rather
than
later,
in
having
to
review
all
of
those
other
aspects
at
a
later
date.
These,
like
I,
said
the
30,000
is
already
committed
and
is
appropriated
right
now.
S
The
additional
cost
for
the
project,
design
surveys
and
permitting
would
be
something
that
again,
we
would
look
for
through
grants
and
other
partners
hoping
to
get
the
County
on
board.
Maybe
they
can
do
some
add
some
funds
for
us.
We're
not
sure
that
we
are
working
with
them
to
see
if
they
would,
they
are
actually
waiting
for
the
outcome
of
the
first
part
of
this
project.
S
So
as
we
move
forward,
we
are
looking
for
approval
from
City
Council
to
do
phases:
1
&,
2,
concurrently,
we
are
seeking
out
the
grant
funding
and
for
implementation
and
again
promoting
that
city
county
collaboration
and
also
requesting
that
the
$15,000
be
added
to
the
existing
$30,000
budget
that
we
already
have
for
the
climate
adaptation
Plan
Update.
If
that
is
a
curve
that
occurs,
the
city
then
will
start
with
the
the
city
and
the
partners
will
begin
with
the
Four
Points
Sheraton
pilot
project.
We
will
design
the
project,
scope
and
implementation
portion
of
the
plan.
S
We
will
continue
to
seek
funding
additional
funding
and,
as
I
said
in
an
effort
to
reduce
the
cost
to
the
group
will
promote
the
collaboration
with
other
partners.
Again,
it
will
be
a
demonstration
of
a
successful
private
partnership.
We
feel
and
it
will
be,
a
model
that
will
be
used
for
other
communities.
