A
A
The
punta
gorda
pdu
application
requires
the
disowning
change
must
be
consistent
with
all
elements
of
the
adopted
comprehensive
plan.
This
parcel
is
zoned
low-density
residential,
thus
I'd
like
to
focus
on
the
policy
111
4.1
other
uses
other
than
residential
that
are
consistent
with
residential
character,
and
then
this
policy
list
potential
examples.
The.
A
Developer
quotes
the
same
policy
in
their
application
and
then
declares
the
proposed.
Pdu
is
indeed
compatible
with
the
surrounding
area
and
consistent
with
residential
character,
but
they
give
little
to
no
proof
of
this
consistency.
We
will
show
that
the
developers,
commotion,
commercial,
marina,
hotel
and
medi-spa
are
not
consistent
with
residential
character
by
first
comparing
examples
of
compatible
uses.
A
First,
let's
look
at
these
examples:
what
they
have
in
common
houses
of
worship,
nursing
homes,
punks,
golf
courses,
libraries,
schools,
daycare
centers:
they
all
provide
services
that
are
desired
and
used
by
the
local
residents,
they're
relatively
small
in
size.
Most
of
them
are
between
a
thousand
and
ten
thousand
square
feet,
and
they
are
good
neighbors.
They
enhance
the
quality
of
life
and
the
desirability
of
the
adjacent
property
as
good
neighbors,
no
outside
noise,
no
outside
operation
hours
of
operation.
A
So
how
does
the
development
compared
to
these
examples
used
by
local
residents?
Know
the
medi?
Spa
and
hotel
are
targeted
for
tourists
small
in
size.
No,
the
medi
spa
is
18,000
square
feet
and
the
hotel
is
a
hundred
thousand
square
feet
per
wing.
Enhanced
neighbors
quality
of
life
know
the
tourist
hotel
brings
in
noise
and
congestion
not
desired
by
residents.
A
I'm,
sorry,
but
the
developer
doesn't
get
to
define
compatibility
under
local
community
standards.
Rule
the
1973
court
case
of
miller
versus
California
when
areas
were
unclear,
such
as
an
obscenity,
the
Supreme
Court
said,
the
communities
have
the
right
to
establish
basic
guidelines
by
contemporary
community
standards.
A
A
1600
petition
signatures
form
a
basis
for
our
community
standards.
Community
standards
are
often
called
I'll
know
it.
When
I
see
it,
our
community
understands
what
compatible
means
and
they
have
determined
that
this
proposal
is
not
consistent
with
residential
character.
Nor
are
its
proposals
compatible.
A
A
At
the
corner
of
aqui,
esta
and
bal
harbour
two
of
the
busiest
roads
in
Punta
Gorda.
It's
easy
access
for
local
residents.
The
buildings
which
are
here
are
relatively
small
in
size.
Most
of
them
come
in
between
a
thousand
and
five
thousand
square
feet
and
they're
desirable
businesses
which
are
being
used
by
local
residents
there
as
a
fitness
center,
a
beauty
shop,
a
breakfast
restaurant,
mailing
facility,
etc.
A
A
A
Note
the
local
church
that
is
referenced
as
being
adjacent,
it's
about
10,000
square
feet,
the
medi-spa
1,800
square
feet
and
the
hotel
I'm.
Sorry
18,000
would
not
be
nice,
18,000
square
feet
and
one
wing
of
the
hotel.
A
hundred
thousand
square
feet,
there's
the
largest
condo
currently
in
this
area,
notice
how
it
compares.
A
Taking
a
taking
and
placing
the
drawing
on
top
of
the
current
aqui
esta
commercial
center
shows
how
truly
large
this
is
notice.
The
footprint
of
the
proposed
hotel
and
medi-spa
versus
the
footprint
of
the
existing
commercial
center
and
remember,
please,
that
the
current
commercial
center
is
single-story.
A
They
are
talking
about
three
stories
above
garage
making
this
a
very
large
building.
We
have
shown
that
the
developers
commercial
proposal
is
not
consistent
with
residential
character.
It's
inconsistent
with
the
examples
of
compatible
businesses.
It
is
by
community
standards.
It
is
not
consistent
with
residential
character.
A
B
D
D
Sorry
we're
gonna
we're
going
to
flip
position.
Sorry,
my
name
is
Dave
Fox
3340
width
rush,
Avenue
I'm,
not
at
testifying
as
an
expert
witness.
However,
I
will
note
that
I
spent
37
years
as
a
licensed
professional
engineer
in
32
years,
engineering
building
and
maintaining
manufacturing
plants
around
the
world.
I'm
going
to
focus
specifically
on
the.
C
D
This
area
really
is
composed
of
four
major
components:
it's
the
24
slip,
marina
itself,
which
is
about
150
feet
away
from
existing
single-family
homes
and
three
other
areas
number
one:
a
marina
support,
building
of
about
2,500
feet,
a
marina
surface,
land
area,
that's
about
65,000
square
feet
in
area,
that's
about
an
acre
and
a
half.
The
fourth
component
is
a
parking
lot
supporting
that
area
going
ahead
and
taking
a
step
back
and
looking
at
this
okay,
what
happened
our
slide
here.
D
Obviously,
it's
operator
re-
this
is
a
this
is
a
diagram
of
the
Punta
Gorda
city
and
the
marinas
that
we
currently
have.
That
is
you
note
the
yellow
lines.
Lastly,
marina
Isles
Yacht,
Club,
alligator
marina,
are
all
in
the
periphery
of
Punta.
Gorda
of
the
reason
on
the
periphery
is
because
people
want
to
get
out
to
Charlotte,
Harbor
and
big
water
in
a
hurry.
The
longest
transit
time
is
probably
about
five
minutes
from
alligator
creek.
D
On
the
other
hand,
the
marina
that's
being
proposed
by
this
developer
right
here
is
smack
dab
in
the
middle
of
punta
gorda
isles.
It
is
totally
having
green
in
that
area
is
inconsistent
with
the
residential
character
of
that
area.
The
transit
time
out
to
charlotte
harbor
from
that
location
is
about
an
hour
at
no
wake
speed.
I
know,
because
I
live
there
going
back
into
the
specifics
of
the
marina
I'm
going
to
greater
error
here.
D
Okay,
there
we
are,
when
you
look
good,
look
at
the
marina
support
building
and
the
recreation
area
that
surrounds
it,
going
back
to
the
developers
own
conceptual
drawing
package.
We
have
a
description
of
what
is
supposed
to
go
in
to
this
2500
square-foot,
marina
support
building
and
they
note
specifically
a
delicatessen
would
take
out
food
and
a
restaurant,
but
they
do
note
that
the
restaurant
will
be
without
outside
seating.
D
On
the
other
hand,
if
we
go
and
look
at
the
description
of
the
marina
recreation
area
or
the
property,
this
acre
and
a
half,
they
specifically
say
there
will
be
recreation
activities
and
it
will
include
picnic
tables.
So
now,
we've
got
a
24
votes
slept
marina.
We
have
a
2500
square-foot
restaurant
delicatessen
area.
There
are
no
other
marina
dock
areas
in
the
area
that
require
a
marina
sapori
area,
their
number
of
condos
that
have
numbers
of
slips
greater
than
24
and
don't
require
this
kind
of
a
facility.
D
Okay,
I'm,
sorry,
those
things,
okay,
go
ahead
and
advance
a
factor.
Thank
you.
Okay.
Basically,
the
amount
again
two
together
with
the
combination
of
the
restaurant
and
the
outside
seating
to
the
environment
that
creates
a
tiki
hut
kind
of
environment,
similar
to
what
we
have
in
front
of
the
sheraton
hotel,
as
the
sunset
sets
in
and
I,
can
understand
what
the
developers
were
trying
and
have
this
kind
of
environment
where
they're
going
in
putting
it
local
residents
come
in
and
start
using
it.
They
go
ahead
and
take
takeout
food.
D
Okay!
Here
we
see
the
proverbial
picnic
tables
that
the
developers
talking
about
putting
in
that
recreational
area.
We
also
see
sand
volleyball
because
an
acre
and
a
half
of
property.
When
you
have
recreational
opportunities,
you
could
have
pickleball
there.
You
could
have
sand
volleyball,
they're,
all
in
an
area.
That's
a
hundred
and
fifty
feet
away
from
current
single-family
and
multi-family
condo
residences.
Next
slide,
please,
okay,
the
developer
does,
in
their
verbiage,
go
ahead
and
state
a
desire
to
buffer.
D
In
fact,
today,
during
their
presentations
invention
a
number
of
times
that
they're
trying
to
be
a
good
neighbor,
they
talk
about
a
project
that
can
seamlessly
blend
into
the
current
recreational
activities.
They
talk
about
residents
being
in
excess
of
750
feet,
away
from
their
commercial
development.
I
take
them
at
their
word.
I
wish
they
would
be
good
neighbors.
However,
next
slide,
when
we
look
at
this
marina
recreational
area,
the
combination
of
the
delicatessen
restaurant
and
the
recreation
area,
that's
going
to
go
and
evolve
here.
D
C
B
B
The
marina
area
includes
25
slips,
dock
master,
building,
deli
and
picnic
tables,
and
you
can
see
by
the
circle
how
close
it
is
to
the
residential
homes
there
there
will
be
one
thousand
three
hundred
foot
doc
with
room
for
25,
possibly
40-foot
boats,
48
dots
within
150
feet
of
homes
would
create
additional
noise
from
boats
and
cause
additional
stray
light
at
night
from
docs
and
cars.
Safety
issues
with
regards
to
rental
boats
and
inexperienced
boaters
additional
docs
create
sub
standard
navigational
canals
and
the
next.
B
This
canal
route
is
already
constricted
by
several
pinch
points
of
less
than
50
feet
and
let's
take
a
closer
look
at
them.
We're
just
going
to
go
through
the
slides
and
show
the
distance
between
the
canals
and
the
land
46
feet
and
45
feet.
We've
have
measured
these
here's
another
slide
of
a
narrow
canal.
C
So
at
this
point
you
guys
have
used
up
all
your
group
time
so
you're
down
to
three
minutes
so
I'll
start
the
timer.
Now
thank.
D
E
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
John
Shattuck
and
I've
been
sworn.
I've
lived
in
point
of
order
for
18
years
for
the
first
15
years
I
resided
in
the
san
mateo
drive
and
I
have
been
used.
The
autry
esta
I
now
reside
meant
to
make
away
condos
at
one
1750
jamaica
way,
you
might
say
well,
why
is
he
speaking
living
on
Jamaica
way?
No
longer
has
skin
in
the
game.
Well,
not
so
fast
I
mean
I
love
this
city.
E
E
E
Please
take
full
notice
that
none
of
their
presentation
was
emotional.
It
was
all
fact-based
further.
This
grassroots
group
gave
full
credence
to
its
observation
that
this
project
in
its
entirety
is
inconsistent
with
the
essential
message
of
the
city's
comprehensive
plan
which
states
quote
to
protect
existing
residential
areas.
E
E
How
can
we
fail
to
see
that
this
project
is
not
consistent
with
the
city's
comprehensive
plan?
How
can
we
say
that
this
plan
quote
protects
an
existing
residential
area?
It's
a
quote
out
of
this
out
of
the
city
plan,
a
statement
taken
out
of
the
city
plan.
It
does
not
protect
the
existing
residential
area.
To
paraphrase
a
once
renowned
attorney
if
it
doesn't
fit,
you
must
emit.
E
D
Let
me
look
it
up.
I
have.
E
I
have
the
answer
based
on
their
analysis,
so
I
can
get
it
for
you.
Okay,
give
me
a
couple
vics
second
seconds
on
that
and
I'd
like
to
know
what
happens
when
this
hotel
fails.
I
suspect
is
very
likely
to
fail,
since
it's
more
than
more
it's
larger
than
all
three
hotels
together,
you
know
I
kind
of
suspect
that
it's
going
to
be
designed,
so
it's
easily
converted
to
a
condominium
or
building
I
can't
state.
