Description
A
Good
morning
it
is
9:00
a.m.
welcome
to
the
September
20th
2017
City
Council
meeting.
Welcome
back
to
everybody.
Let
the
record
reflect
that
all
City
Council
members
and
officials
are
present.
I've
asked
the
fire
department
to
do
a
special
blessing
over
our
city
in
light
of
what
we've
been
through.
So
if
you
would
please
stand
for
the
invocation
and
Pledge
of
Allegiance
I'd
appreciate
it.
B
Shall
we
pray
Heavenly
Father?
We
thank
you
for
the
hedge
of
protection.
You
have
blessed
the
residents
of
Puente
Gorda
wid
through
hurricane
Irma.
We
thank
you
Lord
for
the
work
of
our
city
officials,
our
city
workers,
or
first
responders,
as
they
work
to
keep
the
residents
of
our
city
safe
before
and
during
and
after
the
hurricane.
We
give
thanks
to
all
of
our
neighbors,
who
came
together
for
one
another
in
their
time
of
need.
Lord.
We
also
pray
for
people
throughout
the
state
who
have
lost
so
much.
B
A
C
Give
you
a
quick
little
update,
Rey
Briggs
fire
chief
for
the
record.
It's
been
a
busy
two
weeks
for
all
of
us.
As
a
city,
we
have
we've
had
a
full
activation
of
our
Emergency
Operations
plan.
Most
of
you
are
aware
of
that.
We've
we've
exercised
policies
and
procedures
that
previously
have
only
been
discussed.
We
took
emergency
communication
to
the
next
level.
We
provided
real-time
updates
to
be
a
social
media
webpage
and
utilized
our
CodeRed
system
as
a
community.
We
braced
for
the
impact
we
prepared
for
the
flood.
C
Fortunately,
we
were
spared
the
level
of
damage
and
destruction
that
many
of
our
neighbors
have
realized.
As
employees
we
protected
valuable
assets
by
placing
vehicles
in
the
Harold
core
center
by
relocating
resources,
including
our
personnel
to
a
higher
ground,
specifically
our
wastewater
plant,
big.
Thank
you
to
Tom
Jackson
for
making
that
happen
immediately
following
the
storm.
Our
employees
worked
through
the
night.
They
performed
assessments
of
every
neighborhood
in
the
city.
They
removed
downed
trees
and
debris
from
the
roadway
that
allowed
residents
and
utility
crews
quick
access
to
restore
power.
C
As
we
all
know,
the
biggest
impact
to
the
community
so
far
has
been
the
damage
to
our
sea
walls.
Well,
this
soon,
while
this
will
take
some
time
to
repair
just
as
we
have
in
the
past,
we
will
recover
we're
sure
that
and
we'll
be
stronger
because
of
it.
Finally,
I
want
to
take
the
time
to
tell
you
how
proud
I
am
of
all
of
our
employees.
I've
worked
for
the
city
for
over
27
years,
I've,
never
seen
a
more
committed
group
of
employees.
I
witnessed
much
self
sacrifice.
C
D
Good
morning,
Marc
Goering
public
works.
Well,
as
you
know,
we've
had
quite
a
few
failures
of
our
sea
walls
following
the
tide
moving
out
with
Hurricane
Irma.
As
soon
as
we
got
back
to
work
on
Monday,
we
started
almost
everybody.
We
could
well
everybody.
We
could
find
to
assess
the
damage
and
get
a
get
a
handle
on
how
much
sea
wall
failure.
We
we
had.
D
We
assigned
sanitation
workers
right
away,
workers,
anybody
we
could
grab
to
actually
just
wrote
identifying
those
areas
on
a
map
we
were
inundated
with
phone
calls
three
four
five
hundred
per
day,
we
we
got
two
volunteers
in
and
everybody
at
Public
Works
phones
were
turned
on
to
the
switchboard
line,
so
they
could
take
calls
directly,
rather
than
have
them
go
to
voicemail
or
anything
like
that.
We
were
first
overwhelmed
by
the
number
of
calls
condo
complexes.
Everybody
in
the
complex
was
calling
if
they
had
a
seawall
failure.
D
We
have
Gary
dis,
Ron
staff,
who
worked
with
IT
and
they
came
up
with
a
new
program
to
be
able
to
input
these,
and
so
we
now
have
a
list
of
all
residences
that
we've
tracked
so
far.
894
of
them
of
who
have
problems,
we're
able
to
verify
to
them
when
they
call
that,
yes,
they
have
been
logged
that
they,
because
what
we
had
in
place
just
couldn't,
handle
that
that
number
of
calls.
So
what
we're
doing
now
that
we've
kind
of
identified
where
the
problems
are,
we've
got
a
couple
tasks
ahead
of
us.
D
The
first
thing
is
the
emergency
stabilization.
There's
certain
cases
where
the
seawall
has
gone,
the
pool
or
home
might
be
built
very
close
to
that
seawall
and
there's
a
chance
for
erosion
which
could
cause
catastrophic
damage
to
that
structure.
So
we're
trying
to
identify
all
those
locations
and
we're
working
with
different
vendors
to
see
what
types
of
emergency
stabilization
they
can
provide
for
us.
D
The
next
thing
we're
doing
is
we
have
some
of
our
crews
out
actually
roping
off
these
areas,
with
the
caution
tape
when
you're
talking
15
miles
or
so
that's
a
lot
of
caution
tape
we
haven't
found
anybody.
That's
got
that
much
in
stock,
but
we're
ordering
what
we
can
from
the
different
vendors
and
trying
to
get
that
on
site.
D
In
order
to
give
this
contract
this
work
to
a
contractor,
we
have
to
identify
exactly
how
many
feet
what
the
limits
of
the
project
are,
what
the
the
constraints
within
that
project
are,
that
he's
being
paid
for,
he
gets
paid
for
different
things
that
he
performs
for
each
one
and
all
that
has
to
be
identified.
That
could
be
at
our
current
staffing
level.
That
could
be
a
six
or
eight
month
project,
at
least
for
those
folks,
just
to
identify
what
work
needs
to
be
done
so
with
the
identifying
the
ones
that
need
stabilization
emergency
stabilization.
D
Those
are
probably
going
to
become
the
priorities
for
getting
rebuilt
and
they'll
they'll
go
to
those
sites
first
and
figure
out
what
it
is
we
can
do
to
to
save
the
pools
and
the
houses
and
that
sort
of
thing
we
also
have
our
right
away,
guys
working
on
it.
A
lot
of
these
failures
include
the
drainage
pipe
that
goes
out
to
the
canal,
so
they're
working
on
their
part
of
it
as
well,
once
a
detailed
inspection
is
complete.
Well,
after
we
get
a
few
of
the
detailed
inspections
complete,
we
can
get
contractors
working
on
it.
D
We
expect
that
the
contractors
will
be
working
before
we're
ever
done
with
all
of
the
inspections,
so
they'll
be
happy
happening
simultaneously.
Some
things
that
we're
looking
to
do
work.
What
we're
trying
to
accomplish
is
in
one
to
two
years,
15
years
worth
of
work
and
in
order
to
do
that,
we're
gonna
have
to
ramp
up
a
lot
of
what
we're
doing
so.
What
we're?
D
Looking
at
ways
of
expanding
our
campus
down
at
Public
Works
for
the
sea
wall
panel
operations,
we're
we
basically
need
at
our
current
capacity
if
we
pour
it
every
day
and
use.
All
of
our
manpower
would
take
us
three
years
to
pour
that
many
panels.
That's
taking
all
the
crews
who
do
depression,
filling
cap
inspections.
D
All
of
those
personnel
would
be
dedicated
just
to
see
wall
panel
pouring
for
three
years,
so
we'd
greatly
have
to
increase
that
capacity
and
what
we're
looking
at
there
is
sending
that
out
to
a
contract
and
having
that
contractor
pour
the
panels
on
our
property.
We
need
a
great
level
of
inspection
and
supervision
over
the
panels
we
have
had
panels
poured
down
in
Lee
County
every
day.
We
have
to
send
an
inspector
down
there
to
make
sure
we
got
all
of
our
steel
in
the
right
places
in
those
panels.
D
So
I
think
we're
we're
seriously
trying
to
find
ways
that
we
can
pour
those
panels
on-site,
so
our
inspectors
can
be
right
there
and
control
the
process.
Also
I,
don't
think.
There's
many
sea
wall
panel
casters
out
there
that
have
capacity
that
we
do.
You
know
we're
one
of
them,
I've,
been
told
by
different
firms
that
have
looked
at
our
see
was
that
we're
the
largest
owner
of
sea
walls
outside
the
US
Navy.
So
you
know.
E
D
Just
I
think
I
saw
an
admiral
in
hers
earlier.
It
was
not
sure
if
he's
Air
Force,
sir,
what
he
was
so
once
we
get
a
way
to
pour
all
of
these
panels
simultaneously
will
be
looking
to
let
federal
contracts.
Our
current
contract,
we've
been
told,
is
not
adequate
to
to
put
these
sea
wall
panels
in
place
because
it
doesn't
meet
the
federal
contract,
requirements
of
wage
and
hour
rates
and
all
the
different
things
that
FEMA
throws
at
us
to
to
do
so.
D
Understanding
that's
probably
three
months
before
we
get
the
first
one
in
so
you
know
to
get
it
done
any
faster.
It's
just
really
I
can't
see
how
we
could
do
that
without
mobilizing
the
Navy,
I
guess
and
then,
amongst
all
of
this
we're
gonna
be
analyzing
the
failures.
We
have
been
analyzing
our
failures
to
date,
but
you
know,
since
we
put
this
GIS
program
into
place,
but
there
hasn't
been
that
many
failures
to
give
us
a
lot
of
data.
D
D
E
E
Ahead
after
the
council
meeting
and
then
this
afternoon,
the
staff
will
be
meeting
again
to
fine-tune
what
our
city
engineer
was
discussing.
So,
hopefully
we'll
have
this
information
and
Friday's
weekly
report
that
gets
sent
out
and
then
give
the
community
an
idea
of
where
we're
going
now.
The
other
issue
we're
facing,
which
is
not
as
dire
as
the
seawalls,
the
debris
removal
we
were
starting
tomorrow,.
E
We
and
a
bunch
of
other
communities
are
experiencing
truckers
going
elsewhere
for
better
money,
so
I
know
the
county
was
gonna
start
debris,
removal
in
one
day,
but
they
didn't
have
the
truckers
show
up
so
I,
don't
know
if
they've
showed
up
since
then
they
still
haven't
they,
they
still
haven't
shown
up.
So
hopefully
we
were.
We
were
expecting
for
truckers
tomorrow.
We're
not
gonna
get
for
truckers
tomorrow,
we're
hoping
on
at
least
two.
E
They
can
go
on
to
areas
with
even
have
more
debris
than
we
do
and
they're
paying.
So
we've
got
we're
coming
up
with
an
alternate
plan.
If
we
do
not
get
to
four
truckers
and
if
we
can
get
that
alternate
plan
approved
through
FEMA
everything
we're
doing
now
we're
trying
to
get
through
FEMA,
we
don't
handle
the
seawall
issue
and
have
FEMA
sign
off
on
it.
E
I'm
not
I,
don't
know
what
kind
of
impact
that's
gonna
do
to
the
people
in
the
Punta
Gorda
Ryles,
Canal,
maintenance,
district
burn
star
isles,
not
so
much,
but
the
Punta
Gorda
is
canal
maintenance.
History
need
that
FEMA
and
reimbursement
to
try
and
lessen
the
load.
So
we're
trying
to
do
it
every
step
of
the
way
where
FEMA
will
bless
it.
B
A
I
would
just
like
to
say
the
communication
between
the
state
and
the
federal
officials
have
been
open.
There's
conference
calls
almost
daily
that
we
can
partake
in,
and
so
we've
been
in
communication
with
all
of
those
folks
too,
and
meetings
as
well.
I
know
you've
had
the
staff
has
had
some
meetings
with
them.
So
that's
very
reassuring
that
they're
on
board
with
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
here
and
they
know
of
what
our
issues
are
question.
F
Mark
there's
some
residents
asked
me
about
the
panels
and
there's
an
assumption
that
panels.
The
rebar
should
be
spliced
together.
Is
that
true?
Or
is
it
that's
just
in
the
air
people
have
asked
me
about
this:
they
assumed
when
they
saw
the
failures.
The
panels
were
falling
individually
and
they
they
thought
that
the
rebars
are
supposed
to
be
welded
together.
Is
that
I'm
just
wanted
to
speak
only
in
the
cap
farmer.
D
Ellen
again
not
in
the
panels
themselves,
I
mean
by
design
when
they're
they're
separated
like
that
they
don't
continue
to
pull
each
other
down.
One
thing
that
we
will
be
doing
is
cutting
some
caps
so
that
those
walls
that
are
falling,
don't
pull
all
their
walls
down
so
they're
designed
to
be
individual.
Alright,
thank
you.
If.
G
A
A
long
Dimity
lane
and
Eleuthera
that
there's
a
lot
of
damage
I
mean
that
morning
after
was
quite
amazing,
to
see
so
yeah.
Even
my
neighbor's
yard
I
walked
their
house
the
first
day
and
didn't
really
see
much
and
then
went
back
the
second
day
and
the
yard
starting
to
Sag
in
the
back.
So
there's
gonna
be
even
more
I'm
sure.
Thank
you
for
the
updates.
Thank.
A
H
I
Yeah
I
just
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
all
the
information
throughout
the
whole
process
even
before,
during
and
after
residents
have
had
lots
of
questions
and
that
the
information
and
the
data
that's
been
provided
has
been
valuable
in
helping
give
people
information
and
that's
what
we're
looking
for.
It
is
just
you
know,
and
sometimes
the
information
is
already
out
there,
whether
it
might
be
in
a
budget
data
or
whatever,
but
people
don't
know
that
it's
there.
But
people
have
commented
on
the
amount
of
posts
on
on
Facebook
and
next
door
and
with
information.
A
Convey
to
the
county
and
to
the
school
board
and
everybody
else,
the
mutual
aid
that
was
you
know
given
to
the
city.
We
really
appreciate
it.
I
know
the
school
board,
you
know
have
system
and
the
shelters
in
Port
Charlotte,
because
we
were
in
the
flood
zone
here.
So
even
people
not
understanding
why
Punta
Gorda
didn't
have
a
shelter.
You
know
that
information
is
very
valuable
and
we
appreciate
all
that
they've
done.
I
know
the
school
board
worked
really
hard
to
get
the
schools
back
open.
So
thank
you
for
lay
that
message.
Thanks.
Thank
you.
J
Just
also
add
my
comments:
I
can't
thank
you
enough,
Rey
for
spearheading
the
whole
thing
and
keeping
everybody
working
seamlessly.
It
was
a
complete
team
effort.
I
was
blessed
to
be
able
to
attend
the
meeting
before
the
hurricane
and
after
the
hurricane
and
the
city
staff
and
Howard
at
the
helm
as
well.
It
was
it
was
a
well-oiled
machine.
There
was
no
hesitation,
everyone
had
a
task,
they
they
went
to
task
and
they
did
their
job
and
everything
flowed
so
smoothly.
J
This
city
is,
we
were
back
up
and
running
within
48
hours
after
the
storm,
and
it's
it's
just.
It
made
me
very
proud
to
be
part
of
this
team,
and
all
of
you
are
to
be
commended
for
a
very,
very
difficult
job,
and
certainly
in
the
best
of
times
we
we
we
don't
always
get
the
recognition
we
like,
but
in
the
in
the
worst
of
times
you
certainly
deserve
it
time.
So,
thank
you
all
very
much
and.
A
The
power
did
come
on
and
people
didn't
have
to
wait
in
the
heat.
Yes,
okay,
now
is
the
time
introduction
of
border
committee
members.
If
anybody
would
like
to
introduce
themselves
and
then
we'll
address
the
crowd
issue,
anybody
have
their
name
in
for
our
border
committee
and
would
like
to
introduce
themselves.
Please
make
your
way
to
this
podium
state,
your
name
and
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
yourself.
Oh.
A
K
Name
is
Rebecca
Rasmussen
I'm,
a
recent
graduate
of
the
citizens
Academy,
which
spurred
me
to
apply
for
one
of
your
openings
and
I
would
like
to
serve
on
the
Zoning
Appeals
Committee
I
believe
I
have
a
strong
background
in
business
30-plus
years
and
fortune
500
companies
and
a
community
experience
as
well
and
I
believe
I
could
be
a
productive
member
of
a
committee
for
you
and
thank
you
for
your
consideration.
Thank.
A
Okay,
are
you
introducing
yourself
okay?
So
we
have
a
seat
of
one
seat
available
here:
okay,
we
don't
have
any
public
hearings,
but
we
have
quasi-judicial
public
hearings,
first
of
which
is
an
annexation.
Three
go
together
for
the
Murphy
Oil
annexation,
this
rezoning
and
the
comp
plan
amendment.
So
we
have
three
quasi
judicial
hearings
to
do
with
Murphy,
Oil
annexation
and.
L
M
A
You
and
I
just
wanted
to
address
the
crowd
at
this
point.
We
are,
we
have
a
full
house,
so
everybody
that
will
want
to
speak
on
any
one
of
these
items.
You
will
be
allowed,
even
if
you're
out
in
the
hallway.
You
can
make
your
way
through
the
door,
because
if
more
people
come
in,
we
will
have
to
have
overflow
out
there
in
the
hallway.
A
L
G
G
G
And
developed,
it
is
a
developed
property.
There
will
be
no
anticipated
impacts
on
the
area
and
a
pre-annexation
agreement
was
previously
signed
and
executed
back
in
June
of
this
year.
The
application
is
in
order
and
all
statutory
requirements
have
been
met.
We
are
seeking
city
council
approval
of
the
proposed
ordinance
at
this
first
hearing
we
scheduled
a
second
hearing
for
adoption
on
October
4th
and
urban
design,
as
well
as
Planning
Commission
have
recommended
approval,
I'm
available
for
any
questions.
Questions.
A
N
I
got
a
call
about
two
years
ago
about
something
for
a
key
about
this
annexation
and
it's
been
a
long
time
coming
and
you
know
dealing
with
large
corporations
a
lot
of
times
when
things
change
hands
people
get
promoted.
You
have
to
explain
the
entire
process
all
over
again
and
she
has
weathered
the
storm
and
has
really
worked
diligently
to
make
this
happen
for
the
residents.
I'd
also
like
to
commend
the
city
manager,
howard
Kunik,
for
continuing
to
answer.
N
My
phone
calls
over
the
past
two
years,
as
well
as
the
city
attorney
for
expeditiously,
reviewing
the
annexation
agreement
and
really
working
hard
to
move
this
process
forward,
as
well
as
your
planning
staff,
so
I
I
know.
You
already
know
that
from
the
explanation
about
the
hurricane
Irma
update
that
you
heard,
but
you
have
an
outstanding
group
of
individuals
that
are
working
very,
very
hard
for
you.
N
I
get
to
travel
across
the
state
and
work
with
all
different
cities
and
I
was
actually
in
Pembroke
Pines
last
night,
so
I
will
probably
pass
out
when
I
get
back
to
Fort
Lauderdale,
but
I
have
the
opportunity
to
see
different
cities
and
how
they
work,
and
you
have
a
top-notch
staff.
That's
working
very
hard
for
you,
so
I'd
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have,
but
again
they've
done
a
wonderful
job.
Putting
this
together.
Thank.

to
transmit
the
read
the
application
to
the

EO
and
then
set
the
date
for
sometime
in
November

December.
Do
we
need
to
set
a
date?
No,
because
it'll
be
a
30
we'll
have
to
have,
it
will
depend
on
the
reviewing
agencies
and
whether

This
is
again
a
companion
application
for
the
previous
comp
plan
amendment
that
was
previously
read.
The
applicant
is
requesting
a
zoning
designation
change
from
this
County's
commercial
general
zoning,
designation
to
the
city's
highway
commercial

This
is
the
main
event.
Yes,
this
is
the
first
reading
of
an
ordinance
that
I'll
read
by
title
only
in
order
to
the
city
of
Punta
Gorda
Florida,
rezoning
properties
generally
described
as
901,
one
thousand
one
and
one
one
zero
one
aqui

Drive,
Punta,
Gorda,
Florida
and
more
particularly
described
in
Exhibit

It
passed
here
containing
105
point
five,
five
plus
or
minus
a
KERS
from
its
current
zoning
classification
of
general
single-family,
five
units
per
acre,
planned
development,
village
providing
for
conflict
and
survivability
and
providing
an
effective
date
again.
G
G
Application
was
submitted
to
the
city
of
Punta
Gorda
back
in
2016,
proposing
a
mixed-use
development
which
included
a
wide
range
of
commercial
and
residential
uses,
as
well
as
private
docking
facilities
at
the
November
16th
2016
public
hearing,
City
Council
discussed
this
large-scale
commercial
development
and
the
potential
impacts
to
the
residential
neighborhood.
The
proposed
plan
development
was
denied
by
City
Council,
and
the
city
attorney
reported
that
the
applicant
may
modify
the
request
and
resubmit
an
application
based
on
the
comments
provided
at
that
meeting,
which
suggests
did
a
more
residential
project.
G
The
applicant
has
submitted
a
revised
application
with
all
commercial
components
removed
and
no
other
deviations
from
the
Punta
Gorda
code
is
being
requested.
The
agent
for
the
owner
of
a
Kea
star
drive

has
proposed
a
rezoning
for
the
proposed
address
property
from
general
single-family
five
units
per
acre
to
planned
development
village.
G
The
intent
of
the
planned
development
village
is
a
zoning
designation
that
encourages
efficient
land
use
patterns
which
conserve
energy
and
natural
resources,
and
provide
a
variety
of
living
and
working
environments
integrated
with
adequate
open
space
and
recreational
facilities.
It
also
allows
the
multi-family
component
that
is
not
allowed
under
the
general
single-family
five
units
per
acre
zoning
designation.
G
As

permitted
by
the
existing
zoning
district.
Whichever
is
greater
expressed
in
dwellings
per
acre
by
the
gross
total
acreage
of
the
planned
development.
Gross
density
is
defined
in
the
code,
as
well
as
the
number
of
dwelling
units
on
the
entire
tract
or
parcel
of
land.
G
All
lands
included
within
the
calculations
must
be
under
the
ownership
of
poor
control
of
the
applicant.
The
proposed
private
condominium
community
will
contain
23
buildings,
a
clubhouse
and
community
recreation
center,
parallel
boat
slips
and
a
multi
slip
docking
facility.
The
project
will
contain
462
condominium
units,
which
is
less
than
the
528
units
permitted
under
the
existing
single-family
zoning
gs5.
G
The
application
has
been
forwarded
to
the
development
review
committee,
an
applicable
review
agency
for
review
and
comment
on
the

approved
the
applicant
will

to
submit
a
development
review
application
for
the
site,
design
and
technical
review

planned

call
for
City
Council
to
consider
the
following
objectives
in
relation
to
a
planned
development
concept
plan.
G
The
proposed
plan
development
village
request
represents
a
development
pattern
which
will
not
necessitate
a
future
land-use
map
change
as
a
flint
change
is
not
required.
There
is
no
adverse
impact
anticipated
by
the
plan
development
village.
Zoning
request
under
be
that
the
proposed
development
is
compatible
with
the
surrounding
neighbourhood
to
the
north,
south
and
east
of
the
project.
The
existing
land
use
is
low-density
residential
and
to
the
west.
There
is
high
density
residential
under
C.
The
proposed
project
mitigates
conflicts
of
use,
with
adverse
impacts
on
existing
and
planned
development.
G
Existing
vegetation
and
conservation
enhancement
of
forty
nine
point,
O
four
acres
of
wetland
areas
of
the
property,
along
with
the
required
landscaping
for
new
development,
will
buffer
this
site
and
mitigate
visual
and
auditory
impacts
to
the
surrounding
areas.
The
proposed
project
under
D
provides
adequate
public
facilities
and
amenities.
The
community
will
be
served
by
Central,
Water
and
Sewer.
A
master
stormwater
management
system
will
both
treat
stormwater
runoff
and
maintain
post
development
discharge
at
pre
development
levels
under
E.
The
proposed
development
adequately
accommodates
anticipated
motor
vehicle
traffic
volumes,
including
emergency
vehicle
access.
G
This
is
an
entitled
site,
so
consideration
was
given
to
the
fact
that,
regardless
of
the
zoning,
the
site
will
contribute
to
increased
traffic
on
the
surrounding
roads.
However,
existing
entitlements
would
permit
528
single-family
dwelling
units.
The
proposal
is
for
four
hundred
and
sixty
two
condominium
units.
The
traffic
generated
by
the
community
will
be
less
than
what
would
be
generated
under
the
existing
general
single-family
zoning.
G
The
traffic
study
provided
by
the
applicant
demonstrates
that
the
proposed
plan
development
village
will
not
degrade
traffic
conditions
along
a
Kea
star
or
any
other
roadway
in
the
network
below
the
city
of
Punta
Gorda,
comprehensive

Forty
one

lanes
were
not
a
part
of
this
application
and
we're
not
analyzed
as
part
of
the
rezoning
application
site
related
roadway
improvements
will
be
evaluated
during
the
development
review
process
under
F.
The
proposed
development
preserves
ecologically
sensitive
areas.
G
To
the
extent
practical,
an
environmental
survey
of
the
site
has
been
submitted
and
as
it
is
an
exhibit
of
this
application,
the
conceptual
plan
provides
for
on-site
stormwater
management
area.
In
addition,
the
proposed
plan
development
conserves
and
enhances
49.0
four
acres
of
wetlands
under
G.
The
proposed
project
mitigates
unfavorable,
topographical
and
geological
conditions.
The
conceptual
plan
provides
for
an
on-site
stormwater
management
area,
along
with
conservation
and
enhancement
of
49
acres
of
wetlands.
All
invasive
plant
material
will
have
to
be
removed
prior
to
development.
G
However,
there
this
will
provide
a
positive
impact
on
the
subject,
property
and
all
surrounding
areas
under
H.
The
proposed
development
includes
appropriate
noise
attenuation
measures.
There
are
no
commercial
components
proposed
for
the
planned
development
village,
only
multifamily
residential
dwelling
units
and
associated
recreational
amenities,
such
as
the
pool
and
Clubhouse.
In
addition,
existing
vegetation
conservation
and
enhancement
of
the
49
plus
acres
of
wetlands,
along
with
their
required
landscaping
for
new
development,
will
buffer
the
site
and
assist
in
mitigating
visual
and
auditory
impacts
under
letter
AI.

There
are
nine
requirements
requested
to
be
considered
for
additions
of
approval.

between
properties
and
within
the
neighbourhood.
The
sidewalk
requirements
and
pedestrian
connections
again
will
be
reviewed
at
the
time
of
development
review
for
the
site,
design
and
technical
review
prior
to
submitting
for
building
permits.
G
I
eight
non-residential
uses
shall
be
located
on
arterial
or
collector
streets
without
creating
traffic
through
traffic
in
residential
areas.
No
commercial
component
is
proposed
for
the
planned
development
village,
only
the
multi-family
residential
dwelling
units
and
they
will
be
associated
with
amenities
such
as
pool
and
Clubhouse
I
9.
The
development
plan
should
be
arranged
to
maximize
the
opportunity
for
privacy
and
security
by
the
residents.
The
proposed
site
plan
places
the
recreational
facility
amenities
in
the
front
of
the
property,
with
the
residential
dwelling
units
and
condominium
buildings
towards
the
rear.
G
This
site
layout
will
allow
for
privacy
and
security
of
the
development
based
on
the
approval
criteria
presented
above
the
pond
Agora
de
urban
design
division
offers
the
following
conclusions:
1
the
requested
rezoning
to
a
planned
development
village
is
consistent
with
the
city's
comprehensive
plan
and
future
land-use
map
to
the
requested
rezoning
reduces
the
residential
identity
density
from
5
units
per
acre
to
4.3
units
per
acre
conclusion
3.
The
proposed
development
ensures
conservation
and
enhancement
of
the
49
point.
G
The
proposed
development
meets
the
intent
of
the
planned
development
village
concept
permitted
within
the
land
development
regulations
and
is
consistent
with
the
provisions
of
the
Comprehensive
Plan
urban
design
staff
and
the
Planning
Commission,
as
well
as
the
development
review
committee,
recommend
approval
of
this
application.
I
am
available
for
any
questions.
E
L
As
I
did
before
the
the
Planning
Commission
I'd
like
to
make
a
comment
for
the
record.
As
has
indicated,
the
project
does
include
multiple
docking
facilities
and
if
the
City
Council
approves
this
rezoning,
those
would
be
permissible
uses
under
the
approved
rezoning.
However,
those
are
not
vested
rights.
L
There
are
a
number
of
legal
and
factual
issues
that
would
need
to
be
resolved
before
permits
could
be
issued
by
the
city
for
those
docking
facilities.
So
I
just
wanted
to
let
the
record
reflect
that
this.
The
approval
of
this
action
will
not
necessarily
approve
the
construction
of
the
docking
facilities
that
are
referred
to
in
the
application.
L
H
L
Would
just
it
would
just
allow
the
use
of
the
property
for
facilities.
It
would
not
authorize
the
construction
of
those
docking
facilities
which
would
need
to
go
through
another
permitting
process
and,
as
I
said,
there
are
some
legal
and
factual
issues
that
would
need
to
be
resolved
before
they
would
be
entitled
to
those
permits.
Okay,
so
my.
H
L
We
have
a
chapter
relating
to
docking
facilities
and
that
was
approved
by
the
City
Council.
So,
presumably
as
long
as
the
applicants
met
the
requirements
for
docks
as
specified
in
that
chapter,
they
would
be
entitled
to
a
permit.
I,
don't
believe
that
that
you
could
make
a
special
provision,
above
and
beyond
the
requirements
of
the
of
the
code
as
it
relates
to
the
docking
facilities,
but
I
I
see
that
I
might
be
corrected.
In
my
assessment,
good.
P
P
That
special
permit
would
go
through
the
canal,
Advisory
Board,
for
approval
or
denial.
If
they
did
deny
that,
then
they
could
appeal
and
come
to
City
Council
for
approval,
but
I
believe
that
the
canal
maintenance,
Advisory
Board,
now
has
the
power
to
approve
such
permits
without
them
coming
to
City
Council.
Thank.
A
I
I
P
L
I
think
I
was
asked
to
look
into
whether
we
can
mandate
that
they
become
part
of
the
district
and
the
code.
Provisions
relating
to
the
district
do
not
allow
for
that.
However,
some
of
the
legal
issues
that
remain
outstanding
could
result
in
a
voluntary
request
by
the
property
owner
to
become
part
of
the
district,
so
that
those
legal
issues
can
be
resolved.
