Dear
Heavenly
Father,
we
ask
you
that
you
provide
us
with
wisdom
this
evening
that
the
decisions
made
on
behalf
of
the
citizens
of
Tarpon
Springs
would
be
pleasing.
In
your
sight,
we
ask
you
to
guide
and
direct
us
tonight,
as
we
want
to
again
come
together
on
behalf
of
the
families
within
our
community.
F
May
we
always
remember
that
wisdom
does
come
from
above
may.
Decisions
made
by
our
city
leaders
this
evening
bring
peace
and
strength
and
tranquility
within
our
community.
We
also
want
to
remember
the
vulnerable
and
the
less
fortunate
among
us
and
ask
that
you
would
provide
protection
for
those
that
protect
us
throughout
our
city.
B

Good
evening,
everyone
and
welcome
to
our
Commission
meeting
and
now
we'll
go
to
the
public
comments
of
the
items
that
will
not
be
discussed
this
evening.
If
you
have
any
comments,
please
come
forward
state,
your
name
and
your
address
for
the
record
you're.
None.
We
go
to
the
item
number
one,
which
is
a
presentation
in
your
lap.
Dane
of
the
local
mitigation
strategy
is
ready
to
go.
J
Good
evening,
this
is
essentially
going
to
be
a
very
quick
presentation.
Essentially
what
this
is
is
this
is
our
annual
update
to
our
local
mitigation
strategy.
The
last
two
years
is
the
second
year
that
we've
done
this.
We've
actually
gone
through
as
a
cat,
the
county
level,
along
with
our
County
Partners
and
the
other
cities,
and
updated
the
local
mitigation
strategy,
all
the
appendices,
all
the
projects
that
have
already
been
completed
and
projects
that
are
now
being
proposed
and
moving
through
the
process.
J
Essentially,
what
the
LMS
is
is
a
blueprint
for
our
community
to
help
guide
and
unify
our
course
of
action
to
mitigate
and
eliminate,
reduce
imminent
to
imminent
threats
from
disasters
that
would
threaten
Pinellas
County
things
that
are
covered
in
it
are
flooding
issues,
both
local
and
countywide
flooding
issues
as
well
as
storms
and
those
type
of
things
on
the
potential
of
damage
for
those
storms.
So
essentially,
we
have
now
proposed
all
of
the
updates
that
we
have
and
that's
been
accepted
at
the
state
level.
J
So
this
is
just
letting
you
know
that
that
that
information
is
available.
It's
now
currently
on
our
website.
The
county
will
actually
be
hearing
this
update
package
as
well
on
on
the
15th,
and
all
that
we
just
need
you
to
do
is
kind
of
accept
that
you
are
that
we
acknowledge
that
we
have
completed
that
piece
and
that
we
are
providing
this
information
to
both
the
county
folks
and
also
to
folks
here
in
Tarpon
Springs
via
our
website.
It's
also
available
in
my

Any

or

Please
excuse
me:
I
need.
G
B
H
You
Mary
commissioners,
you
all
have
received
my
written
report
on
this
request
to
settle
administrative,
fine
or
lien
concerning
the
property
at
1402
Castle,
Works
Lane.
We
have
liens
totaling
about
a
hundred
and
thirty
nine
thousand
dollars
dating
back
to
code
violations
in
2009
and
2013
property
foreclosure
completed
in
2014.
The
violator
is
not
the
request
door
again.
H
B
K
G
K
I'm,
coming
from
a
different
standpoint,
I
think
we
should
look
at
as
a
board.
I
know:
we've
talked
about
guidelines
in
the
past.
This
has
been
one
heck
of
a
nuisance
property
for
many
many
years
and
that
the
residents
have
had
to
deal
with
so
we're
having
a
hundred
and
almost
forty
thousand
dollars
of
lien
put
against
it.
So
if
we
come
up
with
some
type
of
equation
of
ten
percent
or
five
percent
or
something
along
those
lines,
I
think
this
would
be.
K
This
has
been
a
nuisance
property
for
quite
some
time
for
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs,
so
for
just
looking
at
the
minimum
I
think
we
really
need
to
evaluate
this
as
a
whole.
Yes,
it's
back
in
compliance
right
now,
but
it
my
understanding.
Isn't
it's
not
a
individual?
It's
a
company
right
at
the
mortgage
holder,
so
yeah
I
think
140,000
is
a
bit
obsessive
of
a
lien,
but
I
think
at
the
same
time,
if
we
look
at
a
percentage
of
the
10%
or
5%,
that's
something
I
would
make
a
suggestion,
as
thank.
B
I
B
I
I
think
you
would
include
in
that,
but
that
638
seventy
two,
so
the
total
yes
I,
agree
and
I
think
that
I'm
leaning
towards
what
fishing
far
was
especially
might
not
that's
not
that
as
my
five
or
ten
percent
but
I
think
for
this
particular
property.
I.
Think
four
thousand
two
hundred
$13.73
that
to
to
settle
is
very
fair.
Okay,.
H
E
H
B
D
A
B
Yes,
thank
you.
We
are
now
going
to
the
item
number
nine
resolution:
2017,
that's
twenty-six
application,
1756
conditioning
years
for
school
of
general
education
at
the
431
East
River,
Street
industrial,
restricted
district.
This
is
a
closeted
judicial.
The
city
attorney
will
read
the
title
and
will
explain
the
quasi
judicial
process.
Thank.
H
You
mr.
mayor
before
I
read
the
quasi
judicial
process
this
evening.
I
will
note
that
items
nine,
ten
and
eleven
on
tonight's
agenda
are
quasi
judicial.
So,
if
you
here
for
any
of
those
items,
I'll
read
the
announcement
once
and
then
we'll
do
the
swearing
in
at
once
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
the
to
the
items
it
quasi-judicial
proceeding
as
one
where
the
Commission
acts
in
a
quasi-judicial,
rather
than
a
legislative
capacity
at
such
a
hearing
is
not
the
Commission's
function.
To
make
la
Baretta
to
apply
law
has
already
been
established
in
equation.
H
A
judicial
hearing.
The
Commissioner
is
required
by
law
to
make
findings
of
fact,
based
upon
the
evidence
presented
and
apply
those
findings
to
previously
establish
criteria
contained
within
the
city's
code.
In
order
to
make
a
legal
decision
regarding
the
application,
the
Commission
may
only
consider
evidence
at
that
hearing.
The
de
la
considers
competent,
substantial
and
relevant
to
the
issues
if
that
evidence
demonstrates
of
the
applicant
has
met
the
criteria
established
in
the
code
and
the
Commissioner
is
required
by
law
to
find
in
favor
of
the
applicant.
H
By
the
same
token,
if
the
competent,
substantial
and
relevant
evidence
demonstrates
that
the
applicant
has
failed
to
meet
the
criteria
and
the
Commission
is
required
to
find
against
the
applicant,
all
witnesses
must
give
their
testimony
under
oath
all
persons,
testifying
must
give
their
name
and
address
for
the
record.
All
testimony
in
questioning
must
address
matters
that
are
relevant
and
material
to
the
issues
under
consideration.
City
staff
will
present
its
testimony
and
evidence
first,
the
applicant
will
then
presents
testimony
witnesses.
Members
of
the
public
opposing
the
application
will
then
be
given
an
opportunity
to
present
testimony.
H
After
all,
members
of
the
public,
speaking
in
opposition,
have
included
members
of
the
public
in
support
of
the
application.
We'll
have
an
opportunity
to
present
testimony
each
member
of
the
public
is
limited
to
four
minutes.
The
applicant
will
then
have
an
opportunity
make
a
closing
argument
or
summary,
after
which
city
staff
will
be
given
an
opportunity
to
make
a
closing
argument
or
summary.
Following
this,
the
Commission
will
consider
the
matter.
Commissioners
may
ask
questions
of
witnesses
emotionally
made,
and
it
will
be
taken
at
this
time.
H
J
H
Item
number
nine
is
resolution:
2017
26,
a
resolution
in
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
Florida,
approving
application
number
17
56,
requesting
a
conditional
use
permit
to
allow
a
school,
the
general
education
on
the
property
located
at
4,
3-1,
East,
Bruce
Street
and
their
industrial
restricted.
Zoning
district
I
are
providing
four
findings
providing
four
conditions
and
providing
for
an
effective
date.
It's
resolution
2017
26
by
title
only
thank.
J
You
this
property
was
recently
acquired
by
a
West
Coast
World
Church
Inc,
and
it
was
formerly
used
as
an
adult
daycare
facility.
They
are
looking
to
actually
start
a
school
of
general
education
and
with
that
they're
asking
for
this
building
to
actually
be
converted
into
a
private
school,
it's
an
existing
building.
Most
of
the
improvements
will
actually
be
inside
the
building.
It
will
not
actually
be
out
out
at
about
there's
an
existing
parking
area
that
this
adequate
to
serve.
J
There
there's
an
additional
recreational
area
that
they're
proposing
in
the
rear,
there's
ample
property
between
this
property
and
their
adjacent
property
to
have
both
the
school,
the
church
and
multiple
other
uses
on
that
property.
So
with
that
staff
has
concluded
that
this
meets
all
of
the
criteria
of
the
conditional
use
and
it
is
consistent
with
the
land
development
code.
We
have
already
provided
services
to
there
so
not
going
to
be
extending
any
additional
services
to
the
the
school
at
this
time.
J
So,
as
a
result,
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
resolution,
2017
26
with
the
fallen
conditions,
the
proper
to
be
used
as
a
school
of
general
education.
All
other
uses
are
subject
to
further
review
of
subsequent
approval,
consistent
with
the
land
development
code
and
the
condition
that
the
conditional
use
will
expire
within
one
year
of
approval.
The
building
permit
is
not
issued
for
the
property.
The
Planning
and
Zoning
Board
saw
this
application
on
July
17
2017.
There
was
some
limited
discussion.
J
There
was
some
participation
for
folks
in
the
audience
who
want
to
just
find
out
what
was
actually
going
on
in
that
property.
They
didn't
have
any
opposition.
They
just
were
asking
questions.
As
a
result,
the
Planning
Board
also
approved
this
application
with
the
conditions,
as
outlined
above
by
staff.
With
that
I
can
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
J
B
B
B
H
20
17
27,
a
resolution
of
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
Florida,
approving
application
number
17
62,
requesting
a
conditional
use
permit
to
allow
a
portion
of
the
building
to
be
used
as
a
commercial
recreation
facility
on
the
property
located
at
425
East
Spruce
Street
in
the
industrial
restricted
zoning
district
I
are
providing
four
findings
providing
four
conditions
and
providing
for
an
effective
date.
It's
resolution
2017
27
by
title
only.
J
Thank
you.
Basically,
this
is
an
existing
structure.
Again,
it's
adjacent
to
the
school
and
the
church,
and
it's
currently
being
used
actually
for
this
use.
They
moved
in
and
as
a
result
of
that,
they'll
have
to
receive
after-the-fact
permits
for
any
improvements
that
they
didn't
actually
get
a
permit
for,
but
this
is
trying
to
rectify
in
a
situation
where
this
is
an
industrial
restrictive.
It's
a
commercial
recreational
facility,
it's
consistent
with
the
criteria
of
the
conditional
use.
J
However,
conditional
uses
had
its
fallen
in
and
out
of
this
category
a
couple
of
times
so,
as
a
result,
staff
went
through,
but
last
year
actually
updated
this
regulation
to
provide
for
this
use
in
this
IR
district.
So,
as
a
result,
it's
consistent
with
all
of
the
land
development
code
criteria.
They've
met
all
of
the
conditions
that
they
need
for
the
outside.
They
have
enough
parking,
they
have
sufficient
handicap
parking,
there's
limited
use
of
the
outside
area,
there's
running
in
those
types
of
things
that
are
done
out
there,
it's
very
limited
and
what's
done
outside.
J
As
a
result,
there
are
no
additional
compatibility
issues.
It
should
not
affect
any
additional
property,
sensitive
and
existing
use
in
in
this
property.
For
some
time
and
as
a
result,
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
resolution
2017
27
with
the
following
conditions.
The
property
is
to
be
used
as
a
commercial
recreation
facility,
all
others
all
of
the
uses
are
subject
to
further
review
and
subsequent
approval
consistent
with
the
land
development
code
and
the
conditional
use
will
expire
within
one
year
of
approval.
J
If
a
building
permit
is
not
issued
for
the
property
again,
the
Planning
and
Zoning
Board
saw
this
application
on
July
17
2017.
The
board
had
some
limited
discussion
and
recommended
approval
of
the
application
with
the
two
conditions
as
I
outlined
it
above
I
can
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.

Second
reading
of
ordinance,
2017
23
by
title,
only
was
published
in
the
Tampa
Bay
Times.
By
total.
G
H
A
K
C
B
I
Yeah,
so
we'll
get
look
at
the
date
sperm,
but
the
mayor
asked,
if
he's
working
with
the
sister
city
group
here
and
over
in
in
column,
notes
and
Hawking,
there's
what
one
other
one
which
was
it
a
city
of
Medford.
What
see
me?
Okay,
he's
working
with
the
ones
over
there
and
he
asked
that
I
work
with
us
and
Trish
to
see
what
the
interest
is
in
us
going
over
there.
I
I
We're
going
to
cover
our
own
expenses,
there
won't
be
any
taxpayer
money.
Funding
come
for
the
commissioners
to
go,
but
hi
I
do
think
it
would
be
prudent
to
have
some
staff
go
with
us
for
reasons
of
just
robbery
repeal
you
know
having
what's
happening,
recorded
and
I'm
just
assistance
over
there
I
know
our
city
manager
doesn't
like
to
fly
past
Nashville
when
he
told
me
so.
I
Orleans,
so
he
told
me
he's
already
he's
already
out
of
the
equation,
but
yeah
I
think
it
would
be
I
think
it
would
be
wise
to
bring
both
the
city
clerk
and
the
deputy
and
the
deputy
city
clerk
with
us.
Obviously,
I
would
not
ask
that
they
pay
for
it
for
themselves
because
they
would
be
going
in
in
a
work
capacity.
So
we'll
have
to
discuss
down
the
road
you
know
do
we
do
we
have
budget
money
for
that
to
do
we?
Do
we
raise
that
money?
That
wouldn't
be.
I
You
know,
that's
that
expensive
for
them
to
do
that.
So
again,
I
think
just
start
talking
to
your
spouse's
and
and
let
Trish
know
what
your
interest
is
and
then
you
know
we'll
we'll
start
making
plans
down
the
road,
and
hopefully
we
can
get
it
group
together
to
over
there
and
get
to
experience
the
different
things
that
influence
our
culture
here
and
commerce
and
whatnot.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
laying
the
groundwork
for
that.
I
That's
all
I
got
right
now,
but
let
Trish
know
I
would
say,
probably
by
the
end
of
the
month
what
what
your
interest
is
and
then
once
we
have
a
number
then
we
can.
I
think,
if
everyone's
in
agreement
obviously
coordinate
this
through
the
City
Clerk's
office,
as
far
as
were
we'll
get
the
best
deal
and
travel
and
whatnot
and
again
just
a
digestion.
Just
to
reiterate
this
will
all
be
at
our
own
personal
expense.
Thank.

What
we
do
ahead
of
time,
I
believe
because
American
Easter
I
thinks
the
first
is
the
first
in
the
a
so
what
we
would
do
all
only
obligations
that
to
me
is
the
months
we'll
probably
what
we
do.
We
have
plane
times
ahead
of
time
for
Heather
planning
everybody
advertised.
We
would
do
our
meetings
that
month,
the
last
two
Tuesday's
of
the
month.
That
would
give,
because
you
got
that
you
got
a
big
U
of
M
to
go
over
to
American
Easter
and
break
Easter.

A
K
It
hasn't
had
a
flag
in
quite
some
time
and
I'm,
not
sure
who
we
need
to
talk
to
to
coordinate
but
I.
Think
it's
a
pretty
neat
site
when
you
come
over.
The
Martin
Luther
King
bridge
I
would
come
by
you
and
you
look
across
the
Bayou
and
you
see
the
church
in
the
body
of
the
Cross
and
then
you
also
see
the
flag.
In
the
background.
K
K
G
B
B
I
Like
to
thank
mr.
Carr
for
his
work
with
the
County
Commission
I
had
heard
rumors
that
he
was
driving
around
the
county,
commissioner
and
I'm
not
sure
I
could
borrow
some
of
them,
but
I'm
especially
proud
that
he
got
Pat
Gerard
up
here.
I
know
that
you
know
she's,
not
she's
not
been
up
here
a
lot
so
I
think
that's
impressive,
that
you
got
her
up
here,
I'm
very
happy
that
you
went
and
showed
her
the
roads
and
everything.
A
I
It's
not
long,
those
are
our
representatives
that
are
specific
for
Tarpon
Springs,
so
it's
important
that
we
maintain
a
good
relationship
with
them,
so
I
thank
Commissioner
Khare
for
doing
that.
Second
off
I
meant
to
say
thank
you
to
DES
caracas,
who
wrote
a
very
enthusiastic
letter,
as
we
all
saw
support
the
grant
that
were
trying
for
round
2
with
state
funding
for
the
bridge.
Sorry
for
the
for
the
spoil
site
for
the
dredge.
It's
a
it's
really
crucial
that
we
get
the
money
for
this.
I
We
don't
dry
up
our
their
capital
fund
and
I
I.
You
know
I.
This
does
not
work
with
the
live
with
the
state.
You
know
and
there's
something
else
going
on,
because
we
got
all
letters
from
all
all
of
our
representatives
and
I
know
that
talked
to
Liz,
hitos
and
Gus's
office
and
Gus
even
spoke
to
a
representative
in
Pasco
about
how
the
dredge
you
know
will
improve
the
flooding
situation
for
Pasco
County
and
the
anklet
River,
and
that
apparently
clothes
clothes
clothes
would
be
governor.
So
he
spoke
to
her
as
well.
C
That
Oh
Bob
Robertson
got
right
on
soon.
As
you
know,
we
were
waiting.
We
had
the
word
I
think
everywhere
in
Tallahassee.
As
soon
as
the
paperwork
came
out
to
get
in
touch
with
us
to
submit,
we
were
real
happy
when
we
saw
the
Samil,
you
never
know
on
a
state
grant
or
state
money.
You
never
know
what
conditions
they're
going
to
have
on
them
and
there's
going
to
be
conditions
that
are
advantageous
to
you
or
hurt
you.
It
was
pretty
much
all
advantageous.
C
I
mean
our
project
speaks
for
itself,
but
again,
sometimes
in
the
criteria.
You
can
get
yourself
moved
out,
but
the
criteria
was
right
there
that
we
met
Bob
Robertson
in
record
time,
even
before
he
got
back
there
got
it
done.
We
got
it
submitted.
We
send
copies
to
who
we
needed
to
get
so
I'm,
very
optimistic
and
we
were
able
to
meet
all
the
criteria.
C
You
know
I'm,
very
confident
that
we
can
put
ourselves
up
against
anybody
else
who
submits
and
we
will
get
that
money
so
I'm,
very
confident
and
we're
just
waiting
to
see
what
the
process
is.
Now
we
don't
know
exactly
what
the
what
the
process
is,
we're
going
to
be
making
the
call
next
week
to
try
to
get
a
little
further
ideas.
It
going
before
committee,
how
they're
going
to
look
and
judge
these
things.
E
H
K
B
Yeah
well,
I
got
some
announcements
to
make
Thursday
August
August
3rd
will
have
the
Ascension
Beach
concert
and
I
begin
7
p.m.
Friday
August
4th.
We
have
the
first
Friday
that
starts
at
6
p.m.
on
tarpon
Avenue,
always
5th.
We
have
the
night
in
the
islands
that
begins
at
6
p.m.
until
11:30
p.m.
at
the
spoons
down
and
I
know.
Our
Commission
Sibyl
will
be
working
very
hard
that
day.
B
B
In
addition
to
that,
I'd
like
to
encourage
everyone
to
attend
the
public
hearings
that
we're
going
to
have
September,
6
and
September
19,
and
if
you
please
come
to
provide
us
with
your
input
and
as
you'll,
it
was
just
discussed
that
I've
returned
from
a
trip
from
our
sister
cities.
Hong,
Ki
and
colleague
knows.
The
trip
was
very
productive.
I
have
constructive
discussions
and
agreements
with
the
mayors
of
both
cities
of
hockey
and
Cardinals
to
enhance
our
sister
city
programs
in
regards
to
exchange
culture,
education
and
economic
development
and
they're.
