Let's
pray
dear
Heavenly
Father,
we
come
before
you
this
evening
on
behalf
of
the
people
of
Tarpon
Springs.
We
ask
that
you
guide
and
direct
us
tonight.
As
we
go
about
the
business
of
leading
this
great
community,
we
ask
your
continued
blessing
upon
our
first
responders,
those
selfless
persons
who
continuously
run
toward
danger
and
never
away
from
it,
the
men
and
women
in
our
community
whose
job
it
is
to
protect
the
lives
of
our
citizens.
D
We
also
thank
you
this
evening
for
the
community
leaders
that
are
here
tonight.
We
ask
that
you
give
good
insight
and
help
them
to
make
wonderful
decision-making
responsibilities.
Thank
you
also
for
the
members
of
our
community
that
are
here
this
evening,
and
we
ask
that
you
bless
their
families
and
guide
this
evenings
discussion.
D
We
pray
for
our
country
and
the
men
and
women
who
selflessly
give
of
themselves
and
at
times
they
give
of
their
lives
so
that
we
might
enjoy
continuing
to
live
in
a
country
where
freedom
isn't
just
an
idea
or
a
hope,
but
rather
freedom
is
a
reality
in
the
name
of
the
Father
and
of
the
Son
and
of
the
Holy
Spirit.
We
ask
that
you
hear
our
prayer
tonight
amen.
B
Good
evening,
everyone
and
welcome
to
our
BOC
meeting
tonight,
we
will
start
our
meeting
tonight
with
the
public
comments
of
the

that

not

If
anyone

E
Good
evening,
mayor
city
manager
and
commissioners
mayor
al
whose's,
did
the
city
send
a
letter
of
congratulations
to
nikita
Lewis,
who
is
bringing
great
honor
on
us
on
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
this
weekend
congratulating
him
from
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs,
with
your
signature
and
the
signature
of
the
commissioners?
Have
we
done
that
yet.
B
E
B
E
Still
have
time
tomorrow,
it's
very
nice
to
give
the
community
where
this
is
being
held
from
our
community
to
accept
our
residents
from
Tarpon
Springs,
with
a
letter
of
safe
passage.
It
used
to
be
very
common
in
the
80s
and
the
90s
to
do
that
so
I'm,
requesting,
if
at
all
possible,
have
one
sign
it
with
our
sill
and
give
it
to
the
church
office
to
take
with
them.
I
think
it
would
be
very
well
appreciated
to
the
mayor
of
that
community
being
that
we
have
a
young
man
from
Tarpon
Springs,
Keitha
lilius.
E
He
has
a
title.
He
is
now
the
Archbishop
of
the
Greek
Church
are
the
Greek
archdiocese
for
the
area
of
England
and
we're
very
proud.
He
grew
up
in
Tarpon
he's
been
in
China
he's
been
all
over
the
world
and
the
patriarch
saw
enough
in
him
to
dispose
to
give
this
great
order
to
him
and
his
family,
and
not
just
the
Greek
community,
the
entire
community
of
Tarpon
Springs.
So
that
would
be
very
nice
from
one
mayor
to
the
next,
except
our
citizens,
with
open
arms
and
graciousness.
Thank
you.

We've

in
newspapers
and
magazines
we
launched
a
photo
contest
and
we
did
a
90
second
tourism,
video
that
we're
gonna
be
seeing
tonight
for
the
first
time
on
the
big
picture
on
this,
video
was
a
tourism

that
had
the

You

in
love
and
there's
so
much
more
to

which
goes
in
with
our
explore.
Tarpon
springs.
Logo
I
want
to
thank
the
entire
city,
the
mayor
and
the
Board
of
Commissioners
for
allocating
the
funding
for
us
to
do
this.
G
All
the
residents
and
visitors
and
everybody
who
came
out
the
day
of
filming
to
be
unpaid,
volunteer
actors
and
also
everybody
who
helped
lead
up
to
it.
There
were
a
lot
of
logistics
involved
with
getting
things
ready
for
the
day
of
the
filming
and
all
that
hard
work
made
the
day
of
filming,
very
successful,
and
so
we're
proud
to
show
this
tonight
and
especially
proud
that
this
is
all
locally
driven.
Everything
that
you
see
and
hear
is
local
and
all
the
people
involved
in
it
we're
local.
So
with
that
we'll
show
the
video.
G
Anybody
who
would
like
to
use
it
and
help
spread
the
word
about
what
a
great
city
tarpon
springs
is
Thursday
of
this
week
at
6
o'clock
at
the
Heritage
Museum
we're
having
a
public
reception
where
we're
going
to
be
showing
the
video
again
publicly
and
then
we're
having
a
photo
exhibition.
Where
we'll
be
releasing
the
award
winners
of
our
photo
contest,
we
had
about
300
entries
in
the
photo
contest
and
exhibiting
those,
so
it'll
be
a
fun
night
to
come
out
and
again
to
celebrate
all
the
great
things
in
the
city.
B
B
Marketing
is
so
important
to
us,
because
tourism
is
how
many
display
and
drives
our
local
economy
on
the
video
it's
90
seconds.
It's
not
possible
that
can
be
reduced
to
30
seconds,
so
we
can
actually
broadcast
that
in
TV
channel,
yes,
they'll
be
good
yeah.
Thank
you
are
the
yell
Commission
coming.
Yes,.
H
Thank
you
Karen.
As
you
know,
I've
always
supported
more
marketing
for
our
city
as
a
tourist
destination.
We
need
to
do
all
we
can
to
bring
people
into
Tarpon
and
to
help
our
businesses
too,
so
I'm
very
excited
that
you're
finally
gotten
some
funding
to
launch
this
explore.
Tarpon
springs.
I
think
that
maybe
we
work
with
the
Merchants
Association
or
the
Chamber
to
partner
for
the
commercial,
because
I
think
they're.
I
You
thank
you
Karen.
The
video
looks
great
I
know
that
there
were
a
lot
of
efforts
from
not
just
you
but
other
members
of
staff
and
from
the
public
that
collaborated
to
make
this
happen.
I
wholeheartedly
agree
with
the
mission
receiver
that
we
need
to
focus
more
efforts
and
some
additional
spending
on
marketing
our
beautiful
city
and
bringing
more
people
here
to
share
its
beauty,
and
all
we
have
to
offer.
I
I
am
curious,
so
I'm
sure
that
you
know
after
a
whole
day
of
shooting
there's
a
lot
more
footage
that
is
unseen,
and
maybe
some
of
that
footage
would
be
usable
in
other
areas
there
and
I'm
creating
another
video.
So
I
was
wondering,
if
maybe
you
could
share
with
the
Commission
in
some
format,
a
way
to
view
more
of
the
video
that
was
shot
or
more
clip
that
we
have.
We
can
crime
yeah.
G
J
Thanks
Mary
I,
just
wanna,
say
thank
you
great
job
in
the
video
and
working
with
the
marketing
dollars
that
you
had
allocated
for
this
year.
I
know
in
the
proposed
budget,
there's
about
65,000
total
for
this
year
in
marketing
dollars.
So
it's
exciting
to
see
as
well
for
the
coming
budget.
Again,
thank
you
to
all
the
staff
that
was
involved
and
it
was
a
whole
staff
effort
and
it's
great
to
see
you
on
a
great
day.
Thanks.

and
C
is

homecoming
parade,
September
3rd
2018.
B
J
Mayor
a
one
thing:
I
really
love
about
tarpon
springs
is
a
homecoming
parade.
It
really
brings
out
the
whole
community
and
the
fact
that
it
goes
down
our
heart
of
our
downtown
and
then
out
to
the
high
school
and
it's
great
to
see
the
support.
The
town
comes
out
and
supports
this
as
a
whole
community.
There's
a
lot
of
individuals
and
residents
that
never
left
tarpon
springs
or
came
back.
The
tarpon
springs.
J
You
grew
up
going
to
school
here
and
now
we
have
multiple
people
on
the
board
that
went
to
tarpon
high
and
are
also
grew
up
in
this
area.
So
I
love
seeing
the
homecoming
parade.
It's
one
of
the
things
that
you
you
see
on
movies
and
it's
really
a
true
life
here
in
Tarpon
Springs,
so
excited
to
see.
That
also
believe.
J
Vice
mayor
brought
this
up
as
one
of
the
items
and
one
of
our
past
meetings,
and
it
was
supported
by
the
rest
of
the
board
to
was
adding
additional
coverage
for
the
employees,
life,
insurance
and
long-term
disability,
and
it's
a
minimal
cost
for
the
city.
But
at
this
time
it
really
increases
the
death
benefit.
C
C
B
L
Every
year
this
is
the
maximum
that
we
can
set
for
the
millage
rate.
I
know
we
had
a
budget
meeting,
we
talked
about
possibly
reducing
that,
but
we
still
have
another
budget
meeting
to
go
and
we
have
the
public
hearings
to
go.
So
my
recommendation
is
that
you
adopt
this
at
the
5.4,
which
means
that
would
be
the
maximum
that
you
could
go
to
and
then
obviously,
during
the
bras
budget
process,
you
can
lower
it.
However,
you
see
fit
but
again,
once
we
set
this
number,
you
can't
raise
it.
B
Thank
You
mr.
licorice
as
mr.
that
could
have
stated
the
the
dr
424
miss
it's
the
highest
millage,
which
is
the
current
rate,
a
5.4
to
mill.
But
it
was
my
recommendation
of
less
budget
workshop
to
reduce
the
millage
from
5.4
two
to
five
point
three:
seven.
So
that
will
be
discussed
during
the
next
Oh
workshop.
H
B
B
L
Yes,
there's
two
things
we
want
to
accomplish
in
this
agreement.
Obviously
it's
the
extend
the
date
which
would
expire.
The
second
thing
is
we're
we're
seeing
an
issue
with
the
ridership
and
I
think
it
may
have
to
do
with
the
criteria
that
we're
using
4ps
DA's
criteria
for
financial,
so
what
we
are
adding
on
there.
The
addition
you
see
in
there
is
the
ability
to
review
hardships
of
seniors,
and
you
know
that
threshold.
You
know
you
can
be
a
little
above
the
threshold.
L
The
thresholds
low
I,
can't
remember
on
top
of
my
head
what
that
threshold
is,
but
I
think
it's
eliminating
a
group
of
seniors
that
are
in
need
and
I
think
it'll
help
increase
the
ridership.
So
that's
the
two
things
this
does
extend
the
date
and
we
have
plenty
of
money
to
finance
it
through
the
through
next
year
and
again,
with
that,
with
the
ability
to
review,
keep
seniors
on
hardships,
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
increase
the
ridership
and
the
use
of
it
and
spreading
the
word
for
it.
B
Mr.
licorice,
as
mr.
decorous
stated,
that
we're
requesting
to
extend
the
agreement
with
the
PSD
a
this
is
the
program
that
mr.
lecoeur
is
and
I
will
work
very
hard
to
bring
to
Tarpon
Springs,
to
provide
transportation
for
the
seniors
and
we're
requesting
to
extend
this
program
and
also,
like
you,
have
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
hospital,
the
event
health
of
North
Pinellas
for
sponsoring
this
program
and
actually
pay
for
the
program
to
provide
transportation
for
our
seniors.
So
thank
you
to
the
hospital
and
thank
you
to
all
of
you
supporting
this
program.
I
You
I
just
want
to
state
my
support
for
this
project
and
Thank
You
mayor
and
the
other
commissioners
who
are
involved,
and
you
know,
driving
this,
this
funding
agreement,
so
to
speak,
an
initiative,
if
you
will
something
that
you've
been
working
on
for
a
long
time,
is
trying
to
provide
some
that
ridership
for
our
elders,
mayor
being
that
I'm,
not
as
familiar
with
it
relatively
new
to
this
term
on
the
board,
mr.
city
manager.
Can
you
give
a
little
bit
of
background
as
far
as
what
you're
talking
about
regarding
restricting
the
ridership?
L
We're
looking
at
criteria,
we
were
looking,
we
decided
on
what
the
PSD
decides
on
or
the
level
of
income
which
is
low
to
be
able
to
ride
their
buses.
I
think
it's
I,
think
one
of
the
problems
is
that
our
seniors
that
are
just
above
that
they're
I
shown
again.
We
were
starting
the
program
out
to
see
some
of
the
examples.
L
I
think
we've
seen
is,
for
instance,
you
know
whatever
it
is
say
it's
750,
you
know
seniors,
do
get
checks
of
780
a
month
800
or
what
is
just
above
that
you
know,
since
that's
the
only
criteria,
they
wouldn't
be
eligible,
the
PSD
to
the
program.
So
what
this
would
do
is
then
be
able
to
say
what
their
hardship
is.
So
maybe
they
make
$50
over
the
monthly
rate,
but
they're
seniors.
They
have
no
family
and
they
have
no
transportation.
L
That
way
they
could
submit
what
their
hardship
is
and
it
can
be
evaluated
to
increase
the
program.
I
think
that's
going
to
get
some
people
that
need
the
program
and
again
they're,
not
people
to
get
a
lot
of
money
more
than
the
level
PSD
a
does,
but
I
think
that'll
capture.
Some
of
the
seniors,
though,
do
that
so
that's
why
so.
L
B
J
Mary
I'm
super
grateful
for
Advent
help.
North
Pinellas
to
sponsor
this
as
a
whole.
I
just
want
to
remind
the
board
and
the
public
that
the
taxpayers
of
the
city
of
harp
and
spring
pay
over
three
million
dollars
a
year
in
ad
valorem
taxes
to
the
PSTA
with
limited
services
and
tarpon
springs.
Tarpon
springs,
help
subsidize
the
Jolly
trolley,
and
they
also
have
found
a
sponsorship
for
this
program
that
the
mayor
helped
develop
and
the
board
supported
which
I'm
in
full
support.

The
only
thing
I

the
Sanford
house,
which
would
have
been
under
my
powers
of
emergency
to
do,
but
we
also
have
an
air
handler
issue
at
the
police
department
that
takes
a
four
to
six
week,
lead
time
which
necessitated
the
emergency.
L
L
So,
despite
this
saying
increase
in
the
97
I,
just
like
you
to
increase
the
$50,000
since
I've
already
authorized
the
the
emergency
purchase
of
those
two
and
then
I'll
come
back
to
you,
because
there
are
some
other
expenses
that
we're
gonna
have
that's
gonna
go
over,
but
I
want
to
I
want
to
gets
a
little
more
information
before
I
bring
that
to
use,
though
westernize
just
for
the
to
emergency.
The
Sanford
house
woodwinds
completely
out
in
their
handler
at
the
at
the
Public
Safety
Building.
L
B
You
I
just
wanna
say
that
the
manager
has
the
authority
to
do
that,
based
on
the
tarpon
springs,
quarter,
worn
in
section
24
damages
and
purchase
that
the
city
manager
may
declare
an
emergency
exists.
The
robotics
expand,
but
no
more
than
$100,000
for
any
good
services
causes
such
an
emergency
without
a
comparative
reading.
Some
still
occurs.
I
I
had
some
notes
in
my
back
after
reading
this,
that
this
is
something
that
I
would
generally
I
mean.
I
understand
that
there's
some
emergency
circumstances,
so
I'm
good
with
the
47
thousand
or
50
whatever
you
want
for
the
emergency
stuff,
but
moving
forward.
This
is
something
that
I
want
to
see.
Rebid.
We
are
from
the
last
meeting
right.
L
I
Saying
so
so
I
was
tonight,
I
was
not
going
to
be
prepared
to
approve
the
97.
I
was
gonna.
Do
the
47,
given
that
it's
an
emergency
but
the
additional
50
and
moving
forward
on
something
like
this.
This
is
the
exact.
This
is
the
type
of
contract
that
I
want
to
see.
Rebid
yeah,
so
I'm
good
with
the
47.
Unless
you
need
I.
H
C
B
B
A
You
you've
got
a
request
for
foreclosure
of
this
property
at
518
East
Lime
Street.
There
are
actually
a
number
of
units
more
than
just
Suite
a
which
is
one
of
the
units.
It's
the
entire
property.
The
property
has
been
deemed
uninhabitable.
It's
a
major
source
of
complaints
in
the
area.
The
back
up
will
show
you
the
state
of
the
building
itself,
the
number
of
photographs
and
so
forth.
A
Also
when
you're
back
up
is
a
lot
of
information
that
the
code
enforcement
department
has
provided
you
relative
to
the
criminal
activity
that
has
transpired
over
the
last
three
years
of
this
address.
There
have
been
over
400
calls
associated
with
this
address
over
the
past
three
years
and
there's
also
additional
backup
talking
about
the
individuals
that
have
been
involved
and
either
managing
the
property
are
now
owning
the
property.
A
This
matter
was
brought
before
the
code
enforcement
board
at
the
last
meeting
to
request
their
authorization
to
begin
foreclosure.
The
code
enforcement
board
did
in
fact,
to
give
that
authority.
The
outstanding
liens
are
in
excess
of
a
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
on
the
property.
It
is
obviously
non
homesteaded
and
again
it
is
uninhabitable,
as
it
is
currently
shown
in
the
photographs,
so
I'm
asking
for
your
authority
to
begin
foreclosure
proceedings.
The
ultimate
goal
here
is
to
have
the
property
demolished
to
avoid
any
further
use
of
that
building.
K
A
The
property,
pursuant
to
the
state
statute,
the
property
owner,
is
noticed
by
way
of
a
notice
of
violation.
The
notice
of
violation
provides
for
compliance
date.
If
it's
not
complied
with,
then
it
goes
to
a
code
enforcement
board.
Hearing
the
code
enforcement
board
hears
the
testimony
and
evidence
relative
to
the
property.
In
this
case
the
property
owner
and
the
manager
appeared
at
the
code
enforcement
Board
hearing
presented
their
evidence.
A
The
code
enforcement
board
found
the
violations
existed
in
order
to
find
to
be
paid
subsequent
to
that
there
is
a
reach
out
for
the
property
owner
to
bring
the
property
into
compliance
by
me.
I
have
had
several
conversations
with
a
number
of
individuals
associated
with
the
property,
including
two
different,
attorneys
and
I
was
unsuccessful
in
getting
the
property
owners
to
bring
the
property
into
compliance,
and
it
was
unsuccessful
to
receive
any
type
of
settlement
offer
to
settle
in
the
matter
either.
A
C
C
B
A
Is
one
of
the
properties
that
was
brought
forward
by
city
staff
as
being
one
of
those
properties
that
has
been
in
violation
for
a
number
of
years?
There's
an
outstanding
code
enforcement
lien
on
the
property
of
over
$100,000.
It
is
a
source
of,
in
addition
to
complaints,
possible
safety
aspects
related
to
the
structure
itself.
A
Every
time
that
there
is
a
storm,
a
heavy
storm
pieces
of
the
building
fly
off
into
neighboring
properties.
You
can
see
from
the
photographs
that
are
in
your
pack
up
the
state
of
the
building
itself
and,
in
addition
to
that,
you'll
also
see
some
staff
staffing
relative
to
the
attempts
relative
to
speaking
with
the
church
member.
That
was
in
control
of
the
property
for
a
number
of
years
and
has
been
unsuccessful
to
get
that
person
to
bring
the
property
into
compliance.
A
There
was
an
attempt
to
convey
the
property
a
couple
of
you
actually
five
years
ago.
There
is
a
quick
claim,
deed
in
your
package
that
you
can
see
where
some
individual
tried
to
convey
the
property
to
another
individual.
That
deed
is
ineffective
because
of
the
fact
that
it
wasn't,
it
wasn't
filled
out
properly.
Didn't
have
the
proper
names
of
parties
and
so
forth,
and
so
it's
an
ineffective
deed
and
therefore
the
property
still
remains
in
the
name
of
good
spirit,
music
ministries,
which
has
been
a
defunct
Corporation
for
many
years.
A
B
A
F
This
building
at
500,
East
Oakwood
Street,
was
built
as
a
church.
According
to
the
Pinellas
County
tax
records,
it
was
built
in
1950,
so
it's
pretty
close
to
70
years.
Oh,
it
does
have
a
lot
of
history.
I
don't
have
all
of
that
tonight
to
present,
but
what
I
do
want
to
bring
to
the
city's
attention
is
that
this
was
a
church.
A
historical
building
and
I
realized
that
there
are
procedures
to
come
before
the
word
demolition
come
up,
but
should
demolition
come
up.
F
I
would
like
to
ask
the
city
to
consider
this
as
a
historic
building
in
the
Union
Academy
neighborhood
of
top
and
Springs,
and
restore
it
to
a
cultural
center
where
it
can
be
used
for
a
variety
events.
Now,
should
this
come
to
focus,
this
would
be
the
very
first
building
in
the
city
of
top
and
Springs
in
the
Union
Academy
neighborhood
identified
as
historical.
F
There
have
been
many
others,
but
they
are
torn
down
now
and
I
can
remember
when
there
was
talk
about
the
Masonic
Hall.
That
was
a
historical
building
that
should
have
been
kept.
It
house,
the
Masonic
family,
the
Royal
Arch
Masons,
the
Eastern
Stars
and
many
other
fraternal
organization,
but
it's
gone
now.
So
that's
why
I'm
asking
that
this
historical
building
be
restored,
identified
as
historical
and
turned
into
a
culture
center
to
be
used
by
the
community
of
top
and
springs
as
a
whole.
F
F
But
the
cities
that
give
all
consideration
to
restoring
this
building,
identifying
it
as
historical
in
nature,
which
it
is
and
also
there
is
a
lot
of
history
behind
the
person
who
I
was
in
charge
of
this
building.
For
some
time
the
musician
Billy
Emerson,
longtime
resident
and
as
far
as
taking
care
of
the
building
and
not
we
have
with
the
fine
Billy
Emerson
is
probably
91
years
old,
so
he's
physically
physically.
F
He
cannot
both
physically
and
financially.
He
cannot
pay
the
city
too
fine
to
keep
this
building
and
in
the
procedure
of
foreclosing,
then
it
would
go
to
the
city.
So
that
is
why
I
am
asking
to
give
consideration
to
the
history
of
this
building
restored
so
that
it
we
a
cult
resenha
put
to
good
use
in
the
community
for
all
springs,
Thank,
You,.
N
Tina
Puka
vollis,
115,
Athens,
Street
I,
wasn't
prepared
to
come
speak
about
this,
but
I
am
very
happy
that
this
came
up
at
a
evening
when
I
am
here,
I
very
much
support
any
suggestion
that
this
actually
be
preserved
and,
like
her
I,
know
that
there
are
a
few
buildings
that
are
beyond
repair.
I
also
know
that
the
city
has
not
had
a
very
good
record
in
preserving
the
history
of
his
african-american
community,
which
was
here
since
the
very
beginning
of
the
city.
N
What's
more
I,
think
a
lot
of
you
know:
William
Emerson
Reverend,
William
Emerson,
who
received
the
Florida
folk
heritage
award
for
lifelong
achievement,
other
than
Nikita's
Lew
Lewis
he's
probably
the
most
nationally
and
internationally
known
citizen
to
ever
come
out
of
Tarpon
Springs.
He
was
prominent
in
the
music
industry
back
in
the
50s
and
60s
for
his
compositions.
He
was
signed
by
Sam
Phillips
at
Sun
Records
in
Nashville
Memphis.
He
helped
teach
Elvis
Presley
how
to
dance
by
taking
him
to
the
black
clubs
in
the
area.
N
N
E
Need
to
produce
901
Bayshore
Drive,
as
you
know,
I'm
all
for
historic
preservation,
I'm
up
here
preaching
it
all
the
time.
All
of
you
are
historic.
We
want
you
remembered
this
building.
Has
the
city
done
any
research
on
the
historic
significance
of
this
building?
Have
you
done
any
research
on
getting
grants
to
preserve
this
building?
If
it
falls
into
the
historic
realm
city
manager?
Anything
have
we
done
any
of
that,
yet
no
call
Tallahassee.
E
There
are
areas
where
you
can
get
funds
to
save
some
of
these
buildings
before
you
condemn
this
building
and
tear
it
down.
Let's
see
what
we
can
do
with
it
for
the
community
and
see
if
we
can
get
any
money
to
help
restore
we've
lost
too
much
historic
in
Tarpon,
Springs
and
tarpon
is
known
as
a
his
famous
historic
city
throughout
the
country.
So
we
need
to
look
into
this
I.
Don't
know
what
you
have
basis
on
I
didn't
know.
This
was
up
coming
up
tonight.
E
I
didn't
mean
to
speak
about,
I
wasn't
prepared,
but
I
do
know
that
there
are
ways
to
get
money
for
Historic
Preservation
if
it
is
proven
that
it
is
a
historic
building
and
this
gentleman
that
built
it
was
all
national
used
and
he
put
tarpon
on
the
map
through
the
national
news
of
all
his
accomplishments
and
I.
Think
we
need
to
look
into
this
for
the
community
to
see
if
we
can
save
it
1950
wasn't
long
ago.
E
But
if
it
we
can
get
the
proof
on
it
that
it
historic
and
he
did
do
all
this
I
think
it
would
be
to
our
betterment
to
try
to
do
something
with
that.
But
that's
your
decision
to
make,
but
let's
not
try
to
lose
too
much
historic
president
and
deserve
what
we
have,
because
once
it's
gone
as
I
tell
you
every
meeting,
you
don't
get
it
back.
E
How
many
of
you
knew
that
Ray
Charles
used
to
sing
here
in
Tarpon
on
Saturday
nights
years
ago,
really
down
at
the
old
Johnny
dollar
barn
nightclub
when
he
was
young?
None
of
you
know
that
he
came
to
Tarpon
many
times
the
sing
and
that's
historic
to
us.
It's
not
documented.
He
used
to
be
in
Tampa
singing
on
the
corners
and
that's
how
he
got
over
here.
So
some
of
these
places
we
have
to
save
because
of
the
historical
value
to
it.
Thank
you
and
I
commend
mrs.
A
I
just
wanted
to
respond
all
that
those
are
all
good
points
to
be
made,
so
the
process
would
start
with
you
I'm
authorizing
the
foreclosure.
If
we're
successful,
the
court
would
enter
a
judgment.
The
court
would
set
a
sale
date
and
then,
ultimately
the
property
would
be
sold.
The
city
would
have
a
credit
for
the
purchase
of
the
property
up
to
the
dollar
amount
of
its
judgment,
which
will
be
about
a
hundred
and
ten
hundred
twenty
thousand
dollars.
A
Obviously,
in
my
mind,
nobody
is
gonna
bid
that
amount,
so
you'll
have
a
credit
on
the
property
you'll
be
ultimately
the
purchaser
of
the
property,
and
then
once
you
have
possession
of
it
and
we'll
come
back
to
you
and
we'll
get
some
direction
from
the
Commission
as
to
what
you
want
to
do
with
it.
But
this
is
the
first
step
in
the
process.
B
I
A
A
The
answer
the
question
is:
is
that
maybe
approach
that
we
want
to
take,
but
until
I'm
authorized
to
do
the
foreclosure
I,
don't
order
the
title
search
and
I
don't
know
if
there
are
any
other
encumbrances
on
the
property.
If
there
are
other
encumbrances
on
the
property,
then
we
need
to
complete
the
foreclosure
to
make
sure
that
we
get
clean
title.
If
there
are
no
other
encumbrances,
when
we
do
the
title
search,
it's
maybe
an
approach
that
we
can
take.
This
shorten
up
the
time
frame
right
to
take
ownership.
I
So
that
would
be
my
preferred
route.
If
we
can,
you
know,
obviously
we
need
to
give
approval
to
for
the
city
attorney
to
move
forward
with
the
foreclosure
process,
if
it's
possible
to
do
it.
If
mr.
Emerson
will
agree,
hey
I,
don't
have
the
money
to
pay
and
there's
no
other
liens
that
would
take
priority
to
the
cities.
Then
I
would.
J
I
J
O
J
I
also
have
an
item
later
on
the
agenda
that
Warwick's
and
I'm
really
excited
to
talk
about
about
sharing
history.
Around
tarpon
springs
with
the
residents
and
visitors.
So
I
would
encourage
the
city
to
evaluate
how
we
can
save
this
building
but
I'm
in
support
of
the
foreclosure
moving
forward
and
what
vice
mayor
recommended
with
the
opportunity
to
shorten
that.
K
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
citizen
comment
and
input.
I
think
it'd
be
a
fantastic
idea
to
explore
all
the
historical
data
get
it
all
proven
and
then
we'll
be
good
to
go
to
look
at
those
options
down
the
road
for
now.
I'll
support
the
foreclosure
but
I
think
it'd
be
awesome
if
we
can
make
that
a
culture
Center
or
at
least
do
some
sort
of
ode
to
its
history.
Thank
you.

feet
of
mini
storage,
use
located
at
1730,
South
Pinellas
Avenue
in
the
highway
business
HB
zoning
district,
providing
for
findings
providing
for
conditions
and
providing
an
effective
date
I'll
go
ahead
and
read
the
quasi
judicial
procedures.
A
This
is
a
quasi
judicial
proceeding
where
the
Board
of
Commissioners
acts
as
a
quasi
judicial
rather
than
a
legislative
capacity
ad
a
quasi
judicial
hearing.
It
is
not
the
board's
function
to
make
law,
but
rather
to
apply
law
that
has
already
been
established
in
a
quasi
judicial
hearing.
The
board
is
required
by
law
to
make
findings
of
fact,
based
upon
the
evidence
presented
at
the
hearing
and
apply
those
findings
of
fact
of
previously
established
criteria
contained
in
the
Code
of
Ordinances
in
order
to
make
a
legal
decision
regarding
the
application
before
it.
A
The
Board
may
only
consider
evidence
at
this
hearing
that
the
law
considers
competent,
substantial
and
relevant
to
the
issues.
If
the
competent,
substantial
and
relevant
evidence
that
the
hearing
demonstrates
that
the
applicant
has
met
the
criteria
established
in
the
Code
of
Ordinances,
then
the
board
is
required
by
law
to
find
in
favor
of
the
applicant.
By
the
same
token,
if
the
competent,
substantial
and
relevant
evidence
at
the
hearing
demonstrates
that
the
applicant
has
failed
to
meet
the
criteria
established
in
the
Code
of
Ordinances,
then
the
board
is
required
by
law
to
find
against
the
applicant.
A
A
J
J

K
A
Q
Mayor
commissioners,
have
the
Erler
staff
to
this
application,
so
I'm
going
to
make
a
presentation,
it'll
be
abbreviated,
presentation
because
I
know
most
of
you
heard
this,
but
I
know,
there's
least
one
commission,
commissioner,
who
was
not
here
vice
mayor
when
we
went
through
this
last
time.
So
why
we
are
here
tonight
is
this
is
a
rehearing
request
simply
because
at
the
June
25th
hearing
there
was
a
tie
vote
on
this
particular
item.
Q
Our
staff
is
recommending
denial
of
this
particular
application
due
to
compatibility
issues.
So
I'll
go
briefly
through
that
criteria,
but
that
is
the
reason
why
we're
here
tonight
is
we're
rehearing,
that
and
so
we'll
go
through
the
the
application
itself.
It
starts
on
the
second
page
of
your
packet.
Essentially,
this
is
a
request
for
a
conditional
use
permit
to
expand
an
existing
mini
storage
warehouse
along
South
Pinellas
Avenue.
Q
Essentially,
the
the
property
is
occupied
by
an
existing
money
warehouse
but
there's
a
front
building
in
the
front
that
had
been
an
existing
strip
commercial
center.
It
is
essentially
a
vacant
vacant
at
this
point
and
the
applicant
is
requesting
that
that
portion
of
this
property
be
converted
into
the
mini
warehouse,
and
so
that's
what
the
the
crux
of
this
particular
application
was
for.
Based
on
the
review
criteria,
the
proposed
use
for
the
subject.
Property
was
reviewed
for
the
high
business
district
and
it
requires
this
conditional
use.
Q
Q
The
applicant
has
argued
that
the
use
is
appropriate
for
the
highway
corridor.
Really,
the
staff
doesn't
agree
with
that.
The
intention
of
this
particular
corridor
and
the
staff
has
participated
along
with
Pinellas
County
and
several
of
the
communities
along
all
19
carry
their
is
to
create
a
corridor
that
is
a
retail
primary
retail
corridor,
where
you
have
a
lot
of
small
business
development.
This
is
a
prime
location.
Given
the
existing
building
configuration
for
that
type
of
use,
this
corridor
we've,
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
trying
to
work
through
of
those
issues.
Q
The
staff
doesn't
feel
at
this
time
that
it's
compatible
to
continue
to
expand
the
mini
warehouse
used.
The
the
the
board
has
already
provided
many
warehouse
throughout
the
community
on
all
90
on
the
19
corridor.
We
don't
feel
that
this
is
the
appropriate
location
for
additional
for
additional
storage
at
this
time.
So,
given
that
staff
took
this
application
to
the
Planning
Board,
the
Planning
Board
found
that
the
application
or
I
went
against
half
staffs
recommendation
on
June
17th
and
recommended
denial
of
the
application
and
resolution
with
one
dissenting
member.
Q
So
they
actually,
they
actually
approved
the
application.
They
voted
against
what
what
we
were
recommending.
So
at
this
point
in
time,
staff
is
recommending
denial.
However,
your
Planning
Board
did
not
so
they
saw
that
this
was
an
approvable
application
on
its
merits.
Now,
since
this
application
was
presented
here
prior
previously,
there
has
been
additional
information
that
the
applicant
has
provided.
So
let
them
kind
of
speak
to
that
information
that
does
not
change
staffs
staffs
real
issue
with
the
application
is
really
a
compatibility
based
on
the
use.
Q
It's
it's,
not
the
design
of
the
building,
the
appearance
of
the
building
and
the
design
of
the
site
that
we're
that
we
have
a
concern
with
it's
really
the
expansion
of
the
use
into
a
corridor
where
we
would
like
to
see
future
development
on
of
a
retail
nature.
So
I
can
answer
any
questions
that
you
have,
but
that's
really.
The
crux
of
the
application
staff
continues
to
recommend
denial
on
the
application.
Thank
you
did.
A
Mann,
we
need
to
accept
that
staff
report
into
evidence.
Is
there
any
objection?
Okay
and
so
now,
if
there
are
no
questions,
is
there
any
questions
of
staff
being
none,
then
the
applicant
make
it
can
make
his
presentation,
sir,
if
you
could
introduce
yourself
and
your
address
and
your
relationship
to
the
property.
My.
R
R
My
presentation
today
is
going
to
change
somewhat
because
and
I
want
to
thank
the
commissioners
and,
and
the
mayor
for
hearing
me
and
and
talking
to
me
on
the
phone
I
took
a
lot
what
we
was
said
at
the
last
meeting
to
heart
and
and
how
this
property
looks
today
and
what
the
vision
is
for
the
future,
especially
on
this
corridor.
That's
so
important
to
tarpon
springs
as
an
entry
point
into
the
city,
so
I
want
we
don't
publish
or
doesn't
want
to
just
be
a
business
owner
in
the
community.
R
We
want
to
be
part
of
the
community
and
we
would
like
to
change
the
use
of
this
property
because
of
the
business
that
we
are
in
is
the
mini
storage
business.
The
commercial
side
of
the
business
has
not
been
very
fruitful
for
us
and
it's
hard
to
fill
this
property
up.
I
kind
of
made
that
comment
last
time.
I
was
here
when
we
had
shown
some
of
the
other
properties
in
the
area
that
also
are
having
trouble.
You
know
filling
up,
I
think
the
comment
was
that
we
had
you
know
over
200,000
square
feet.
R
Presently
that
is
not
rented,
you
know,
and
as
being
advertised.
So
based
on
that
and
and
the
the
the
last
presentation
I
listened
to
you
guys
I
heard
what
you
said
about
you
know
what
the
vision
is
for
the
corridor,
so
we're
gonna
enhance
the
storefronts,
given
an
appearance
of
a
that
will
be,
you
know,
pleasing
to
tarpon
springs,
we're
looking
at
a
coastal
feel
that
gives
the
kind
of
the
feel
of
cabanas
in
the
front
of
the
property.
R
We're
gonna
enhance
the
the
landscaping
to
exceed
even
the
the
kodan,
the
required
code,
we're
gonna,
install
an
ad,
a
compliant
sidewalk
brand
new
to
the
front
of
the
property.
That
brings
the
sidewalk
a
little
closer
to
the
road
front,
as
is
the
common
in
the
area.
We're
gonna
provide
restriping
of
the
parking
lot.
I
have
two
renditions
I'd
like
to
show
you
for.
As
far
as
the
parking
is
concerned,
because
there
was
a
some
other
comments
that
were
made
about
the
starkness
of
the
property,
one
would
require
a
variance.
R
The
other
would
require
just
us
losing
I,
think
nine
parking
spaces,
because
in
the
present
use
we
are,
we
need
to
maintain
like
42
parking
spaces,
42
parking
spaces.
We
are
gonna
put
in
a
noob
dumpster
enclosure
in
the
property.
Also
I
know
that
pole
signs
are
kind
of
not.
You
know
something
that
the
Commission
wants
to
see
in
the
area.
So
we
have
a
pole,
sign
that's
on
the
the
county
side
of
the
property
that
we're
willing
to
remove
and
get
rid
of
completely
we're.
Gonna.
Add
a
covered
bus.
R
R
So
this
is
the
the
floor
plan
of
what
we're
attempting
to
do
we're
taking
the
Mini
Storage
or
the
commercial
storefront
and
making
it
many
stories.
All
the
access
will
be
through
the
center
of
the
two
buildings.
There
will
be
no
activity
in
the
front
of
the
property
as
far
as
traffic
or
anybody
moving
in
stored
goods,
and
it
will
all
be
at
the
rear
of
the
property
out
of
the
side
of
the
front
of
the
facility.
R
R
They
just
actually
completed
this
this
morning,
so
we're
talking
about
now,
instead
of
having
blanked
out
storage
or
commercial
storefronts
with
you
know,
storefront
glass
we're
gonna,
take
and
reform
the
front
of
this
property
to
make
it
look
like
individual
cabanas,
so
that
it
has
that
coastal
feel
it
looks
like
part
of
the
community
plus
we're
going
to
double
the
landscaping
in
front
of
the
property
to
really
make
this
pop.
Our
neighboring
property
across
the
street
is
a
nursing
home
and
they
do
a
fantastic
job
on
their
property.
R
As
far
as
the
landscaping
is
concerned,
these
two
properties,
in
conjunction
coming
into
tarpon
springs,
will
make
a
very
big
impact,
in
my
opinion,
to
the
corridor
and
I
think
that
would
be
the
best
use
for
us.
I
know
that's
the
best
use
for
us,
but
I've
I've,
also
added
the
sign
on
all
that
you
can
see
it
on
your
hand,.
F
A
R
So
if
you
guys
can
see
the
rendition
we've
got
the
Jolly
trolley
over
here
with
the
bus
stop
and
the
tarpon
welcome
to
tarpon
springs,
sign,
we're
going
to
propose
and
the
front
of
the
property
is
going
to
get
a
lot
more
foliage,
it's
going
to
get
a
full
hedgerow
and
depending
on
what
we
decide
tonight,
we
have
two
plans
and
if
you
can
show
them
the
the
put
the
landscape
plan
up
there
and
then
turn
it
around
and
show
the
audience.
Please.
S
R
R
R
I
R
I
I
R
We
have,
and
and
about
four
years
ago
we
did
a
pretty
extensive,
real
and
scaping
at
the
front
of
the
property
and
really
saw
no
uptick
in
in
our
rent
ability.
The
rents
are
very
low
for
the
marketplace
in
that
area,
so
it
was
tried
once
we
just
feel
that
you
know
we
want
to.
We
wanted
to
get
into
our
core
business,
our
core
business
as
many
storage.
A
J
R
A
J
A
Is
not
mine
to
sign
so
now
is
the
time
for
any
member
of
the
public
that
is
opposing
the
application
to
step
forward
and
speak.
Is
there
anyone
wishing
to
step
forward
and
speak
sir?
Were
you
sworn
in
earlier?
Okay?
Well,
let
me
go
ahead
and
swear
you
in
then.
That's
fine,
raise
your
right
hand.
You
swear
the
testimony
you're
about
to
give
is
going
to
be
the
truth,
the
whole
truth
and
nothing
but
the
truth.
Okay,
sir
q
stuff
to
the
podium
tell
us
your
name
and
address.
T
T
You
cannot
get
people
to
pay
for
the
retail
units
and
because
of
Amazon
and
Google,
and
all
of
that
stuff
that
we
all
use
almost
every
single
day
of
our
life.
The
mom-and-pop
operations
have
just
gone
in
for
what
little
I've
seen
here
to
landscape
this
thing
up,
make
it
attractive
to
tarpon
springs
for
a
mini
storage
unit,
because
guys
you're
dreaming,
if
you
think
you're
going
to
create
more
retail
in
a
strip
store.
It
just
does
not
happen.
T
We
just
converted
one
two
years
ago
and
two
mini
start
unit
in
Pinellas
County
and
get
it
looking
pretty,
make
it
effective
for
the
entry
to
come
in
here
and
you're
going
to
do
a
lot
better.
If
you
force
these
people
to
make
it
retail,
the
customer
is
not
there
I'm.
Sorry
I
wish
it
what
we
would.
He
didn't
want
to
change
it
he's
changing
because
he
can't
find
the
tenant
to
go
in
there.
T
T
A
K
A
E
There
were
some
businesses
in
there
and
they
had
to
move.
My
question
is
this:
which
shouldn't
have
any
bearing
on
this:
the
tax
base
of
the
storage
units
versus
the
commercial
use
and
if
the
commercial
use
isn't
there
and
a
lot
of
the
stores
stay
empty,
we
do
not
get
permits
and
there's
no
taxes
coming
out
of
it.
So
what
is
the
difference
in
the
taxes
and
what
we
get
in
the
city
versus
the
commercial
which
may
be
filled
up?
May
not.
We
see
a
lot
of
empty
buildings
versus
the
storage.
E
E
A
U
Hi,
my
name
is
Wendy
ant
and
I
reside
at
602
Sparrow
Avenue
in
Palm
Harbor.
However,
I
am
a
tenant
at
the
address
that
we're
talking
about
less
than
a
month
ago,
I
was
told
by
the
facilities
manager,
the
corporate
facilities
manager
in
Atlanta.
That
business
was
as
usual.
We
would
not
have
to
move
out,
as
many
of
the
other
tenants
did
on
the
other
side
of
the
building.
I'm
in
Suite
G
I
have
four
rooms
in
sweet
genius.
I
have
for
about
eight
years,
maybe
a
little
bit
more.
U
The
improvements
of
the
landscaping
I
thought
was
the
plant
that
I
put
in
front
of
my
door.
I
did
not
see
anything.
They
could
improve.
The
way
that
looks
yeah.
Excuse
me,
I,
know,
I
sound.
You
probably
hear
my
heart.
I
was
not
prepared
to
speak.
I
am
a
licensed.
Mental
health,
counselor
and
I
have
a
business
in
there
and
they
want
to
be
business
in
there.
A
bookstore
self-help
I'm
not
doing
anything
right
now.
U
In
fact,
I
have
taken
positions
over
in
Europe,
so
I
can
get
enough
money
one
to
live
and
make
house
repairs
and
two
to
develop.
My
my
office,
currently
with
the
position
of
permission
of
public
storage
I,
have
someone
else
who
is
sharing
the
rent
right
now
and
having
her
business
in
there
several
nights
a
week.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
signage
because
we
are
a
pretty
low
profile
based
on
the
clients
that
we
meet.
U
There
are
things
that
they
certainly
can't
do
at
public
storage
to
improve
its
curb
appeal,
like
orange
paint.
That
orange
is
the
color
of
public
storage.
They
can
sustain
tit,
but
they
could
use
marigolds.
They
can
put
cameras
in
the
big
ditch
in
the
front.
Yes,
they
can
still
improve
that
sidewalk.
The
reason
I
selected
that
space
for
my
office
was
because
well
I,
majored
in
community
psychology
and
I
definitely
believe
that
corridors
are
important
and
also
what
you
have
in
the
corridors
that
brand
can
bring
community
closer
together.
Maybe
I'm
wrong.
U
U
U
What
they
have
is
their
vision
as
a
corridor
into
Tarpon
Springs
linking
some
of
the
nearby
towns
as
excellent
and
I
think
we
can
only
grow
community
and
have
us
grow
as
a
community,
not
just
to
attend
events
and
not
just
to
attend
small
businesses,
but
to
help
us
grow
together.
On
the
other
hand,
I
believe
that
turning
it
into
a
complete
public
storage
unit
is
nothing
but
money
in
the
pockets
of
a
corporation.
Thank
you
and
excuse
me.
If
I
didn't
use
proper
co2
protocol,
thank.
W
S
V
Also,
on
page
four
last
paragraph
in
there
it
says
the
applicant
is
proposed
to
bring
the
landscaping
up
to
the
current
standards.
While
this
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction
is
not
considered
sufficient
to
overcome
the
deficiencies
of
the
proposed
look
of
the
property,
and
that's
just
talking
about
the
look
I
also
saw
in
here
an
analysis
property
would
permit
the
expansion
of
use
that
is
not
compatible
with
the
existing
character
of
the
neighborhood.
V
With
the
change
of
this
used
from
retail
in
many
warehouses,
the
individual
renders
stores
will
be
removed,
a
process
proposes
to
alter
the
look
at
the
building
and
promoting
the
sense
of
place.
Currently,
it
does
not
is
not
consistent
with
promoting
the
sense
of
place.
I
would
like
to
ask
staff
at
some
point
to
put
into
the
record
how
many
apartment
units
are
going
in
at
Mears
Crossing.
We
have
apartments
just
east
at
Savannah,
Cove
I'm,
going
to
tell
you
a
short
story.
I
was
coming
back
from
Palm
Harbor
one
day
coming
down
curlew
place.
V
It
was
2:00
3:00
in
the
afternoon.
One
of
those
90-degree
days
and
I
saw
a
gentleman
standing
out
front
of
the
driveway
or
the
access
to
Savannah
Cove,
an
elderly
man
wearing
a
Gators
hat
and
surprisingly
had
his
thumb
out.
This
is
well
that's
cool.
Let
me
stop
him
pick
him
up,
see
what
he
needs.
Some
of
you
may
know
Tony.
So
Marcus
and
I
say
hey
ma'am.
What
your
needs
are.
I
need
to
get
a
ride.
V
Uptown
I
have
to
go
to
the
bank
and
have
to
get
some
few
things
up
at
Walgreens
took
him
up.
There
took
him
to
the
bank,
waited
for
him
a
little
bit
I
and
he
kind
of
implied
he
had
a
ride,
but
it
turned
out.
He
didn't
so
I
ended
up
driving
him
back
to
Savannah
Cove
that
probably
about
a
mile
and
a
half
round
trip
walk.
V
If
you
had
retail
at
this
location,
two
three
blocks
and
I
would
say
that
all
these
amenities
and
cutesies
the
fixing
up
the
landscaping
and
changing
the
pole,
sign
and
fixing
all
that
stuff.
That
can
be
done
now
and
you
would
enhance
your
property's
value
such
that
you
would
get
some
of
that
retail
that
wouldn't
want
to
go
into
the
Old
Dixie,
which
I'd
hope.
Eventually,
somebody
will
come
in
with
a
large
project
development.
V
You're
gonna
want
people
to
drive
by,
and
the
Jolly
trolley
and
just
see
all
these
black
and
Windows
and
a
big
orange
I
mean
I'm
not
going
to
comment
on
the
aesthetics
there.
That's
everybody
subject
to
that,
but
you
have
to
look
at
what
Anita
and
a
number
of
people
have
come
up
before
on
other
places
of
town.
This
area
is
just
as
important
and
part
of
the
problem
is
part
of
its
county
and
we
can't
control
what's
further
south
of
us
because
of
that,
but
you
do
have
control
of
this.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
R
No
I
just
wanted
in
closing
just
to
say
that
I
respect
everybody's
opinion
here,
I
know
that
there's
is
businesses
up
and
down
the
corridor
that
you
know
are
servicing
the
area.
I.
Just
think
that
the
better
use
for
us
is
to
let
us
go
ahead
with
our
plan
and
really
beautify
the
entry
point
to
tarpon
springs.
Thank.
A
A
J
J
This
was
brought
up
last.
The
last
meeting
you
all
presented
before
the
board
and
asking
would
you
what
was
your
willingness
to
fix
up
the
front
of
the
building,
add
additional
landscaping
and
keep
the
retail
and
understanding
at
the
last
meeting?
Is
it
wasn't
really
much
of
a
willingness
to
do
any
more
than
the
last
site
plan
that
was
approved?
Is
that
still
the
case
today?
Well.
R
No,
obviously,
we
need
to
do
some
improvements
if
we
don't
get
the
passage
of
this
this
this
amendment,
so
we
need
to
do
some
landscaping.
I,
don't
know,
we'd,
go
to
the
extent
that
we're
trying
to
do
now,
because
we
really
want
to
make
it
a
showpiece
for
the
entire
community,
but
yeah
yeah.
We
couldn't
leave
it
the
way.
It
is
that's
for
sure.
Okay
and.
J
B
B
Back
to
the
Commission,
and
now
we're
going
to
go
to
the
Commission
comment.
I
will
start
by
saying
that
I
appreciate
the
the
applicant
that
I
change
the
design
and
is
willing
to
make
some
changes,
but
still
it's
the
mini-storage
I
look
at
the
building
as
I'm
driving
by
I
noticed
that
has
been
neglected
in
its
a
lot
of
work.
To
be
done.
Probably
why
many
of
the
people
moving
out?
B
I
don't
know,
but
as
a
stated
during
the
last
meeting
that
Mini
Storage
is
very
desirable
on
us
19,
not
we
do
not
encourage
storages
many
stewards
on
the
alter
the
19.
We
rather
have
small
businesses.
Small
businesses
is
the
backbone
of
our
of
our
around
economy
and
that's
what
I
would
like
to
see
a
mini
storage.
This
is
not
what
we
want
on
the
orbital
core
and
I
cannot
support
that
application.
Vice
mayor,
Thank.
I
You
Mara,
yeah
I,
would
say
I'm
appreciative
of
the
applicant
to
come
back
and
try
and
you
know,
rectify
and
make
a
better,
more
appealing
type
plan
that
we
could
support,
but
I
don't
think
that
the
what's
being
proposed
is
compatible.
You
know
I'm
not
generally
one
to
make
subjective
opinions
about.
You
know
what
you
could
do
better
or
anything
like
that.
Although
you
know,
I
will
tell
you
that
the
small
retail
center
a
couple
blocks
down
that
has
many
stores
behind
it
seems
to
be
doing
fine
in
its
full
watch.
I
B
J
Although
they're
a
large
corporation
I'm,
not
a
big
fan
of
large
corporations
coming
in
the
Tarpon
Springs,
as
I've
mentioned
before
in
the
past,
but
the
one
thing
I
do
want
to
preface
is
it
looks
like
the
applicant
is
really
making
an
effort
to
fit
into
the
community
with
the
different
designs
and
the
facades
etc.
So
I
have
11
items
that
I
feel
that
would
make
this
project
more
compatible
to
the
area.
The
walkability
of
the
corridor
that's
been
discussed
tonight.
J
The
ride
ability
of
the
Jolly
trolley
and
the
public
transportation,
and
also
from
the
entrance
of
the
Gateway
part
of
our
city,
coming
from
the
southbound
palm
harbor
and
I,
do
want
to
thank
mr.
hunt
for
his
comment
as
well
of
expertise
and
owning
many
storages
for
many
years
as
well
in
this
category.
So
the
first
item
I,
would
suggest
and
make
a
conditional
use
would
be
a
wider
sidewalks
in
front
of
the
building
with
a
minimum
of
six
feet.
J
The
second
item
would
these
were
presented
from
the
applicant,
is
to
redesign
the
front
of
the
building
to
have
a
coastal
look
alternating
between
the
different
buildings
that
are
currently
offices
today
between
brick
party
board
and
cedar
planked
cardi
board,
alternating
between
the
different
units
that
show
that
there's
actually
different
buildings.
So
it
doesn't
look
like
one
just
large
office
building.
J
Be
it
would
be
to
reducing
the
amount
of
windows,
as
proposed
and
add
shutters
see,
would
be
that
the
false
doors
in
the
front
would
not
be
accessible
from
the
front
of
the
building.
Only
accessible
from
the
back
of
the
building
D
20.2
would
be
no
tinted.
Windows
and
I
would
suggest
to
use
historic
pictures
from
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
Historic,
Society
large
enough.
That
can
be
seen
from
the
sidewalk
and
have
some
sort
of
light
shining
on
these
pictures
at
night.
J
So
they
can
be
seen
either
when
driving
by
or
walking
on
the
sidewalk
number
three
would
be
to
use
a
metal
roof
which
would
be
a
coastal
metal
roof
similar
to
the
buildings
they
have
on
the
corner.
Next
to
Pinellas
rental
on
the
county,
property
number
four
would
be
to
reduce
the
parking
spots
as
proposed
and
their
second
option
and
add
additional
green
space.
J
Number
five
would
be
removed.
Both
pull
signs.
Add
the
following
one:
monument
sign
with
a
brick
clay
base
and
with
a
small
roof
to
match
the
building,
as
suggested
and
number
three
be
only
one
sign
in
the
front
of
the
building.
That
would
be
where
the
public
storage
office
would
be
held,
see
allow
two
small
additional
brick
signs
at
the
entrance
of
the
property.
J
D
would
be.
The
stop
sign
would
match
the
pull
signs
that
are
within
Tarpon
Springs.
The
powder-coated
stop
signs
is
what
I'm,
referring
to
similar
to
the
historic
district
number
six
would
be
to
limit
the
color
of
to
be
used
only
where
the
offices
no
wider
than
20
feet
of
the
sore
front,
that
faces
all
turned
19
I
forgot.
J
Additional
landscape,
as
the
applicant
has
referred
to
I,
would
encourage
cluster
Palms
foxtail
Palms
hurricane
Sabal
palms.
Those
are
palms
that
have
fallen
down
and
have
grown
back
up
with
a
little
bit
of
curve
to
them
or
Washingtonian
palms.
Additional
landscape,
use
of
Muhly
grass
and
empty
palms
is
something
that's
four
too
friendly.
So
when
it
dries
out,
they're
not
going
to
die
I
would
not
encourage
use
of
ligustrum
shrubs,
viburnum,
shrubs
or
pittosporum
x'.
I
would
not
encourage
these
great
myrtles
in
this
property
to
keep
with
the
coastal
theme
again.
J
J
Number
nine
would
be
an
install.
Some
type
of
artwork
to
incorporate
tarpon
springs
in
its
coastal
beetle.
If
it's
a
small
set
of
pelicans
or
a
small
to
small
statues
in
the
south
side
of
the
parking
lot,
number
10
would
be
to
come
up
with
a
maintenance
plan
and
propose
it
to
the
city
to
maintain
the
property.
J
J
H
I
haven't
changed
my
mind
from
the
last
meeting,
where
I
agreed
with
this
applicant
I,
usually
agree
with
the
city
and
and
understand
their
their
concerns.
Planning
and
Zoning
did
approve
this
application.
The
bottom
line
is
that
retail
is
not
growing.
I,
agree.
100%
with
mr.
hunt.
We
have
so
many
empty
stores
on
alternate
19,
that
that
is
an
eyesore
to
me,
and
that
is
not
an
enhancement
to
our
corridor
or
alternate
19.
So
I
would
prefer
to
see
a
business
that
already
exists.
H
H
It's
a
lot
of
things
that
we're
asking
to
to
make
this
corridor
more
attractive
as
far
as
tax
base
were
getting
no
tax
taxes
from
all
these
empty
stores
in
Tarpon
Springs,
and
we
do
have
many
vacancies
if
you
count
them
up
and
down
all
19,
as
you
mentioned,
how
many
thousands
of
square
feet
that
are
vacant
and
that
is
to
me
very
unattractive,
coming
into
tarpon
springs,
so
I
agree
with
this
applicant
wanting
to
expand
their
storage
unit.
I.
H
B
K
Thank
you
all
for
your
comments,
both
in
support
and
in
opposition
I.
So
do
not
change
my
mind
since
the
last
meeting
I'm
not
ready
to
give
up
on
retail
just
yet.
But
for
me
it's
just
a
business
in
Tarpon
Springs
that
wants
to
expand
their
business
into
empty
storefront.
I
mean
you,
take
a
drive
down
alternate
nineteen,
especially
all
throughout
that
corridor,
and
the
empty
storefront
really
really
really
starts.
To
add
up.
K
The
business
is
also
obviously
willing
to
work
with
the
city.
They
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
this
presentation.
I
appreciate
that,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
feel
as
though,
by
forcing
them
to
keep
the
retail
we're
stunting
a
business's
growth,
and
you
know
I
just
think
we
should
let
the
consumers
and
the
people
of
Tarpon
Springs
decide
what
is
and
isn't
economically
viable.
K
B
H
J
A
The
answer
of
the
question
is
is
if
the
motion
is
made
without
the
conditions
that
Commissioner
Khare
is
you're,
going
to
vote
on
that
up
or
down,
but
he
is
suggestive
to
be
included
in
the
in
the
motion.
So
you
need
to
make
that
decision,
whether
or
not
you
want
to
include
it.
If
not,
then
we'll
wait
for
a
second
on
the
motion
that
you've
made
and
voted
up
or
down
so
a.
H
B
A
A
B
B
Okay,
we're
now
going
through
the
annual
number
16,
which
is
the
application
19,
that's
30,
to
request
for
extension
of
time
for
negotiations
all
from
North
Lake
Estates
C
attorney.
Do
we
have?
Can
you
please
explain
the
code
of
this
item
see
if
the
Board
of
Commissioners
have
the
authority
to
extension
of
the
uh-.
L
By
the
development
agreement
procedures
some
you
authorized
on
April
16
negotiations
by
the
rules
that
are
established
in
that
time
to
give
a
report
in
three
months.
If
I
don't
have
an
agreement,
then
I
have
to
ask
for
an
extension
for
it
to
continue
so
because
a
lot
of
different
things
with
this
90
will
be
done
within
three
months.
So
I'm
by
the
rules
asking
your
further
extend
and
have
himself
and
staff
continue
to
go
Shane
to
see
if
we
can
come
into
any
agreement
on
development
agreement
on
this
property
by
your
code.
So.
L
There's
just
a
lot
of
things
with
this
property,
so
you
know
again
without
going
to
negotiation,
which
is
not
proper
to
now
until
I
get
in
negotiating
I
am,
but
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
it
in
a
couple
weeks.
Time
frame
we
have
before
the
three
months
are
up,
so
it's
definitely
not
gonna
make
the
three
month.

B
X
Section
97
includes
some
procedures,
including
requiring
the
property
owner
who's
desiring
to
enter
into
a
development
agreement
to
make
application
through
the
planning
department
and
pay
the
required
fee,
which
I
understand
was
done
upon
receipt
of
an
application
for
development
agreement.
The
city
shall
request
authorization
from
the
Board
of
Commissioners
to
negotiate
with
the
applicant
I
believe
that
was
done
a
few
months
ago
and
then
upon
authorization
from
the
Board
of
Commissioners
to
negotiate.
The
applicant
shall
submit
a
development
proposal
consisting
of
certain
minimum
criteria,
and
it
sounds
like
that
is
the
process.
X
That's
going
on
at
the
moment
once
that
development
proposal
is
submitted,
a
review
is
required
to
be
scheduled
within
30
days
and
conducted
by
the
Technical
Review
Committee
to
determine
compliance
with
the
city
ordinances
regulations
and
that
the
development
is
consistent
with
the
local
comprehensive
plan
and
once
compliance
with
the
city,
ordinances
and
regulations
have
been
determined
by
the
TRC.
Then
the
development
proposal
is
transmitted
to
the
city
manager
for
negotiation.
I
submit
to
you
that
review
by
the
TRC
of
compliance
with
your
ordinances
and
regulations
and
comprehensive
plan.
X
That
is
a
review
that
should
occur
before
this
board
during
the
annexation.
Land
use
amendment
and
rezoning
applications
and
should
not
be
done
by
the
TRC
and
luuv
I
would
ask.
How
can
that
finding
of
consistency
with
comprehensive
plan
occur
in
advance
of
any
hearings
before
this
board
or
Commission
on
the
underlying
applications?
So
I
would
suggest
that,
instead
of
using
staff
resources
to
develop
the
development
agreement
at
this
point,
let
Pioneer
process
the
applications
that
were
filed.
I
believe
last
year
for
annexation,
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
and
rezoning.
X
X
This
includes
matters
which
would
an
ear
to
the
special
private
gain
or
loss
of
a
relative
when
my
client
first
learned
of
this
matter
and
I
was
retained,
I
reached
out
to
Cindy
Tara
pani
to
assist
with
an
analysis
of
the
land
use
and
zoning
issues
associated
with
the
applications.
At
that
time.
She
advised
me
that
this
would
present
a
conflict
of
interest.
X
In
addition,
I
hear
members
of
the
community
talk
about
the
strong
business
relationship
between
John,
Tara,
pani
and
pioneer
and,
to
the
extent
that
there
is
a
voting
conflict
of
interest,
as
that
is
defined
by
statute.
I
would
respectfully
request
that
vice
mayor
Tara
pani
and
anybody
else
that
this
would
apply
to
that
they
withdraw
and
not
vote
on
any
matters
related
to
these
applications
and
I
am
available
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
Y
Hi
I'm
Kelly
snow,
sorry,
my
phone
closed
I'm,
representing
cncn.
It's
the
council
for
North
County,
neighborhoods
and
I've
been
asked
to
read
a
statement
from
CNC
and
we
believe
that
the
proposed
project
is
not
in
conformity
with
the
county's
East
Lake
overlay
plan
and
I
live
at
four
one.
Six
Klosterman
Road
West
did
I
answer
all
questions.
I
need
you
to
and
I'm
right
I'm
just
going
to
write
that
down
real
quick.
Z
All
right,
my
name
is
Mark
Washburn
I
live
124,
East
Lake
Drive
in
Tarpon
Springs
Florida.
First
I
want
to
kindly
asked
vice
mayor
Townsend
Tyra
penny
to
recuse
himself
from
this
in
any
future
vote
regarding
pioneer
homes
because
of
his
and
his
wife's
financial
entanglements
in
working
relationship
with
them.
I
want
to
introduce
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
to
our
organization,
called
save
East
Lake.
We
are
a
neighborhood
coalition,
comprised
now
over
100
neighbors
in
the
northeast
lake
area,
located
within
a
mile
or
less
of
this
proposed
development.
Z
We
are
in
the
process
of
setting
up
a
501,
C
4
nonprofit
organization
in
order
to
fund
our
legal
expenses,
as
well
as
to
find
the
study
required
to
form
our
own
municipality
more
on
that
in
a
minute.
First
thing
I
want
to
do
regarding
that
is
apologize
to
everybody
ahead
of
time.
We're
gonna
be
putting
in
several
hundred
of
these
yard
signs
all
over
Pinellas
County,
so
I
want
to
apologize
because
chances
are
you
gonna
get
some
emails.
Some
phone
calls
we're
gonna
use
these
basically
to
drive
traffic
to
fund,
raise
our
cause.
Z
Bertie
Palm
Harbor
had
issues
with
annexations,
so
you'll
see
these
signs
not
in
the
city,
they'll
be
outside
of
the
city,
so
I
wanna
apologize
for
that
the
city,
commissioners,
the
mayor
and
other
staff,
as
it
is
likely
that,
with
several
hundred
of
these
signs
going
up
around
Pinellas
County,
you
may
be
getting
some
phone
calls
and
emails
regarding
this
issue
before
these
signs
go
up.
We're
going
to
revamp
our
website
to
allow
for
more
people
to
join
our
coalition,
as
well
as
give
us
donations.
Besides
funding
our
legal
team.
Z
Part
of
these
donations
will
also
go
to
funding
the
study
required
for
us
to
form
our
own
municipality.
As
you
might
be
aware,
our
neighbors
to
the
east
and
the
Keystone
region
of
Hillsborough
County
have
also
been
threatened
by
developers
chomping
at
the
bit
to
increase
density.
Just
like
Pioneer
homes
is
threatening
to
destroy
our
rural
lifestyle
with
dense,
suburban
development
where
it
does
not
belong,
so
they
have
formed
the
Keystone
Civic
Association
and
I've
been
working
with
the
Florida
League
of
Cities
to
file
for
an
incorporation.
Z
We
have
been
in
communication
with
Joshua
butts
the
president
of
the
Keystone
Civic
Association
and
the
Florida
League
of
Cities,
and
we
are
planning
to
basically
do
the
same
thing
that
they're
doing
and
moving
forward
with
exploring
that
as
a
possibility
to
stop
these
annexations.
Lastly,
we're
also
in
talks
with
the
Army
Corps,
and
they
are
well
aware
of
the
proposed
development.
They
assure
us
that
no
heavy
equipment
can
touch
that
property
until
they
issue
a
permit.
Approximately
10,
acres
or
23%
of
their
property
are
wetlands.
Z
The
southern
portion
is
governed
by
the
linked
tarp
and
watershed
district.
The
northern
portion
is
part
of
the
in
critter
watershed.
Our
neighbors
are
united
against
this
attack
on
our
rural
lifestyle,
and
we
asked
the
tarpor
space
commissioners
to
please
side
with
common
sense
to
protect
our
rural
lifestyle
and
not
let
the
green
a
financial
gain
over
developer,
take
precedence
over
our
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
AA
Good
evening,
mayor
and
commissioners,
my
name
is
Terry
Wetzel
I
reside
at
2545
Royal
Liverpool
Drive
in
Tarpon
Springs
Florida
I.
For
my
business
I
am
a
property
manager
and
I
manage
several
communities
within
the
area
of
which
we
speak.
I
manage
Cypress
turn
Center,
which
is
a
commercial
development
located
at
the
intersection
of
East
Lake
Drive
in
Keystone.
AA
Road
I
also
manage
three
Home
Owner
Associations
Cypress
Run
villas
east
at
Cypress
Run
and
villas
West
at
Cypress
Run,
which
are
located
on
the
east
side
of
a
flick
Drive
and
situated
across
from
the
proposed
North
Lake
Estates
development,
which
is
planning
to
request
annexation
into
your
city.
I
would
like
to
state
on
behalf
of
the
property
owners
that
I
represent.
AA
We
have
had
several
meetings
and
get-togethers
to
determine
our
best
method
of
attack
here,
but
the
real
issue
that
we
have
is
that
we
are
opposed
to
any
annexation
of
this
property,
as
we
view
it
simply
as
a
method
being
employed
by
pioneer
homes
to
circumvent
the
lower
density
that
currently
exists
there
in
Pinellas
County.
As
you
know,
the
Pinellas
County
Board
of
Commissioners
in
2012
adopted
the
East
Lake
tarpon
community
overlay,
in
which
this
property
is
located.
AA
This
overlay
was
done
to
be
used
as
a
guide
for
any
proposed
construction
or
development
in
this
area,
with
the
goal
of
maintaining
the
community's
quality
of
life,
the
low
density
and
the
residential
character
of
the
neighborhood.
With
that
said,
there
are
significant
incompatibility
issues
associated
with
the
proposed
development,
which
we
will
be
prepared
to
discuss
at
the
appropriate
time,
and
we
request
that
when
the
project
is
brought
to
you
for
an
annexation
consideration
that
you
deny
such
annexation.
Thank
you.
M
Chris
hrabowski
one

gulf
beach,
ball
of
our
tarpon
springs.
Three
four
six,
eight
nine
I
told
you
a
couple
weeks
ago
that
there
was
growing
opposition
to
this
project
and,
as
I
mentioned
before,
with
the
amount
of
wetlands
on
that
Georgia
jurisdictional
wetlands
that
are
on
the
property,
they're
not
gonna,
get
to
build
whatever
it
is.
You
try
to
negotiate
with
them.
Anyway,
it's
not
gonna
happen.
They're,
never
gonna
be
able
to
fill
in
all
those
wetlands.
It's
not
going
to
happen.
This
project
will
come
to
a
screeching
halt.
M
M
So
much
so
that
they're
willing
to
go
through
all
the
legal
hoops
to
create
their
own
municipality
I
mean
that's
how
much
they
don't
want.
This
they're
gonna
do
whatever
it
takes
to
protect
their
way
of
life,
just
like
they're
doing
in
Keystone
in
Hillsboro,
in
which
I
believe
they
they
even
got
a
protective
order
over
some
property
from
the
county.
M
M
M
M
S
Hello,
everybody
thank
you
for
taking
our
concerns.
My
name
is
rich
Caputo
I
live
at
611,
East
Lake
Drive
tarpon
springs.
This
proposed
development
is
directly
behind
my
house,
so
I
am
very
concerned
about
it
and
the
first
thing
I'd
like
to
say,
I'd,
like
vice
mayor,
Clara,
Ponte,
to
remove
himself
from
any
of
the
further
dealings
obvious
conflict
of
interest.
So
let's
just
get
that
out
of
the
way
I
want
that
to
be
put
on
record.
S
My
second
thing
is
I'd
like
to
agree
with
everything
our
attorney
Kate
has
recommended
she's
looking
out
for
our
best
interest.
These
people
at
pioneer
aren't
looking
out
for
our
best
interests,
they're
looking
out
for
their
own
best
interests,
which
is
making
as
much
money
as
they
can
and
building
as
big
a
development
is
they.
S
AB
Good
evening,
I'm
Cathy
service
cook
I
live
at
1041
Royal
Birkdale
Drive
in
Cyprus
run
I'm
here
with
a
the
emotional
side
of
the
conversation.
I
grew
up
here
in
Tarpon,
my
parents
grip
here
in
Tarpon
after
high
school,
like
a
lot
of
people,
I
moved
away
or
a
career,
and
after
20
years,
I
proudly
moved
back,
even
though
today
I
live
in
Tarpon
and
commute
to
Tampa.
But
it's
really
important
for
me
to
live
here.
AB
My
husband
and
I
chose
to
live
in
Cypress
Ron
because
of
the
abundance
of
wildlife
and
the
quality
of
life
there.
This
development,
as
its
proposed,
demolishes
nine
acres
of
beautiful
wetlands
and,
as
you
know,
they're
getting
more
and
more
pristine
every
day,
so
that,
along
with
the
additional
traffic,
would
would
truly
negatively
impact
our
quality
of
life
here
and
why
we
chose
to
link
to
live
here
and
speaking
of
missus
proteases
father
the
money
tax
revenue.
AB
AC
Denis
schneider
671,
east
lake,
dr
transparent,
they
what
you
just
think
with
me
pioneer
homes,
they're,
businessmen,
correct,
yes,
successful
businessman
right,
yes,
so
what
does
this
men?
Yes,
is
what
I
question
as
a
businessman:
they're
gonna
purchase
this
land
in
their
store
all
this
money,
but
they
said
quote
unquote.
This
will
not
be
profitable
for
us,
not
me
them.
If
it's
one
acre
see
weird
zone
for
two
acres
during
the
county,
we're
not
in
the
town.
So
how
do
these
businessmen
say?
AC
We're
gonna
purchase
all
this
and
then
go
to
you
guys,
I'm
saying:
is
there
a
potential
inside
information
that
they
know
somebody
on
this
board?
That
will
approve
it
if
it's
so
that's
not
fair,
also
the
individual
who
has
a
conflict
of
interest
if
he
does
business
with
pioneer
always
related
to
pioneer.
His
vote,
obviously
should
not
count.
AC
Last
thing
to
bring
up
is
but
I
don't
understand.
You
could
correct
me,
look
a
little
on
his
we're
in
the
county
and
you
know
people
are
making
decisions,
okay
in
the
in
the
in
the
town,
based
on
the
county
rules
based
on
our
land.
So
how
do
you
prove
something
to
extend
something
if
you're
not
annex
and
why
you
could
annex
this
situation
and
if
you
do,
keep
it
at
two
acres,
if
that's
possible,
but
again,
I
questioned
the
businessman
said
to
us:
it's
not
profitable.
We
can't
make
money
on
one
acre.
AC
AD
Good
evening
my
name
is
Tanya
almond
and
my
husband,
al
alamin,
is
here
with
me.
We
live
at
26,
34,
East
Lake
Trail
in
Tarpon
Springs.
We
purchased
our
home
here
in
January
of
this
year
and
moved
here
from
Maryland.
We
search
for
home
all
around
a
50-mile
radius
for
about
six
months
before
was
settled
on
this
location.
We
loved
the
rural
character
of
this
neighborhood
and
community.
It
was
the
main
reason
that
we
bought
our
home
here,
just
in
the
few
short
months
that
we
have
lived
here.
AD
We
have
seen
so
much
wildlife
on
a
daily
basis
on
and
around
our
property
I've
taken.
Many
pictures
of
this
wildlife
and
I'd
be
happy
to
submit
them
electronically
for
your
review.
Please
let
me
know
if
that's
a
way
for
me
to
do
that.
I
have
also
seen
bald
eagles
Roseate
spoonbills,
wood,
storks
and
gopher
tortoises
on
and
around
the
property
in
question
and
I
know
they're
all
protected
by
the
Florida
Fish
and
Wildlife
Conservation
Commission.
Also
on
this
property,
there
are
numerous
deer
coyotes,
wild
turkey,
raccoons
squirrels
and
even
a
bobcat
or
two.
AD
There
are
several
hawks,
and
just
last
night,
I
finally
got
a
picture
of
what
looks
like
a
tawny.
Owl
I
urge
you
to
protect
these
animals
and
their
habitat.
There
have
been
rules
and
laws
established
around
zoning
for
a
reason.
My
husband
and
I
grew
up
in
Maryland
and
witnessed
so
much
development
and
zoning
changes
over
the
last
45
plus
years
there,
and
it
has
had
a
real
detrimental
impact
on
the
wildlife.
In
fact,
my
husband's
father
was
a
commercial
fisherman
and
crabber
in
the
Chesapeake
Bay
throughout
his
childhood.
AD
They
grew
up
hunting
and
fishing,
and
he
has
witnessed
firsthand
the
impacts
on
wildlife
from
over
development.
We
would
be
so
disheartened
to
watch
that
happen
here.
I
think
you
have
something
very
special
here
in
tarpon
springs,
just
like
your
new
tourism
video
is
highlighting.
Please
urge
you
to
protect
that.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration
and
I
trust.
You
protect
the
wildlife.
They
can
speak
for
themselves.
P
Good
evening,
George
suits
46,
West,
lemons,
3
token
Springs,
we've
been
working
diligently
with
not
only
our
consultants
but
also
the
city,
and
we
need
a
little
more
time
to
try
to
present
a
quality
development
that
I
think
the
city
of
TARP
will
be
proud
of,
and
we're
just
asking
to
allow
us
more
time
for
your
consideration
after
we
get
all
our
plans
together
for
you
to
review
it
and
see.
If
it's
going
to
be
something,
that's
good
for
the
town
and
I
think
we
owe
it
to
the
citizens
of
Tarpon
Springs.
P
E
Need-A
proudest
901,
Bayshore,
Drive
I'm
curious
I
have
never
seen
going
on
as
I
have
tonight,
with
Commissioner
Khare
like
blackmail
on
the
developers
here
it's
up
to
the
Commission
what
they
want,
but
you
can't
make
a
lot
of
recommendations
and
say
to
get
my
vote.
This
is
what
you're
going
to
get.
Secondly,
I
don't
appreciate
an
attorney
attacking
good
citizens
of
Tarpon
Springs,
honest
citizens
who
have
worked
all
their
lives
to
keep
their
families
reputation
and
their
reputation.
Aboveboard
I
resent
the
fact
that
you've
made
themselves
like
they're
doing
something
wrong.
E
This
Commissioner
Tara
penny
on
the
board
is
a
very
educated,
honest
young
man
and
he's
proven
himself
and
you've
come
in
and
you're
blackening
names
of
families
in
this
community.
That's
wrong.
If
you
don't
want
the
development,
then
let
them
buy
the
property
and
pay
the
price,
but
don't
come
to
a
Commission
meeting
unless
you've
got
facts,
and
you
know
that
they're
not
honest
and
they're
not
good
to
citizens.
This
is
so
wrong.
I,
don't
know
anything
about
your
project.
E
I
don't
want
to
know,
but
I
know
these
developers
have
been
above
board
throughout
the
years.
In
this
community,
with
their
developments,
one
more
thing
mirror
this
has
to
stop.
You
cannot
blacken
the
names
or
choose
people
in
the
community
of
doing
wrong.
I'm
glad
you
came
here
and
I
you're,
not
you
have
to
know
what
it
takes
to
be
coming.
You
miss
power,
it's
not
easy
and
the
attorney
can
tell
you
it's
very
complicated,
but
don't
come
yes,
it
is
Sir
mission.
This.
W
Thank
you.
My
name
is
bill.
Hickman
I
live
at
10:49
Royal
Birkdale
Drive,
that's
in
Cyprus,
run
I
was
on
the
board
of
CN
n
CN
when
we
spent
all
the
time
with
the
Pinellas
County
Commissioners,
getting
the
East
Lake,
the
East
Lake
overlay
done.
That
overlay
was
done
because
osmar
tried
to
take
in
East
Lake
woodlands
and
they
were
forcing
these
Lake
woodlands.
W
We
got
involved
in
that
just
to
help
stop
them
and
because
of
that,
all
the
communities
up
and
down
East
Lake,
all
the
waiting,
curlew
all
the
way
up
to
the
county
line
and
all
the
way
over
the
lake
tarpon
is
involved
in
this
protection.
We
ask
that
you
honor
what
the
Pinellas
County
Commissioners
have
already
spent
a
lot
of
time
on.
Excuse
me
and
have
found
to
be
for
that
for
the
neighborhoods
to
be
congruent
to
what's
there
now
redevelopment
and
development
is
important.
W
I've
lived
in
Cypress
run
for
30
years,
our
own
property
there
and
lived
there
for
30
years
before
Crescent
oaks
and
before
shot
a
door
locked
and
watched.
It
grow,
never
objections
because
they
followed
the
density
rules.
They
followed
the
codes
to
get
it
done,
we're
not
objecting
to
a
man
developing
his
property,
but
stay
within
the
codes
and
work
with
the
neighbors
and
and
and
honor
what
we
have
done
and
spent
time
doing
up
to
now.
W
O
V
You
don't
have
to
recuse
yourself,
I
know,
I
was
accused
of
issues
and
I
still
made
a
decision,
but
what
decision
you
make
may
determine
how
it's
you'd
afterwards?
So
that's
just
to
let
you
know
you're
free
to
stay
on
unless
there's
something
factually
substantially
indicating.
Otherwise,
let's
read
some
facts,
cite
acreage
43.5
for
upland
area.
Thirty,
five
point:
nine
total
wetland,
seven
point:
three:
four
other
surface
waters
0.3,
so
you
got
a
little
less
than
thirty
six
acres
of
upland.
V
Yet
you
want
to
put
forty
four
homes
on
it
right
there,
it's
already
less
than
one
per
acre.
Secondly,
I
know
it's
not
too
visible,
but
all
on
the
north
side
of
the
property.
Extensive
wetlands
after
having
attended
their
organizational
meeting,
I
drove
up
George
Road
I
had
never
been
that
far
up
there.
As
long
as
I've
lived
in
Tarpon,
you
go
up
a
hill.
V
Not
in
this
present
form.
There's
no
comparable
zoning
for
two
acres
that
we
have.
Maybe
if
we
changed
and
added
a
zoning
to
two
acres
to
apply
to
properties
in
this
area
that
had
been
rural,
they
used
to
be
cattle,
land
used
to
be
orange
and
grapefruit
grows,
which
are
now
turning
into
subdivisions,
so
I'm
not
going
to
discuss
site
plans
and
zonings
and
annexations,
but
I
wish.
You
would
consider
what
the
downsize
is
going
to
be
later,
because
we
know
what
happened
with
Walmart.
We
fought
it
for
a
long
time.
V
Everybody
spent
lots
of
money
and
it's
still
there
and
they
went
to
where
they
should
be,
and
I
have
no
problems
with
George
and
George.
Wanting
to
develop
the
property,
but
do
it
in
the
smart
process
of
the
zoning
or
the
land
use
that
is
currently
available
to
them
and
work
around
what
you
have
there.
Those
aren't
two
hundred
thousand
three
hundred
thousand
dollar
homes
that
are
going
to
be
there,
you
put
in
the
right
home,
you're,
going
to
sell
them
enough
to
make
your
money
back.
B
B
I
Say
a
few
comments:
I
mean
I've,
never
heard
so
many
threats
regarding
an
application.
That's
not
even
transpired,
really
I
mean
y'all's
facts
regarding
me
and
my
relationship
to
apart
of
your
homes
and
zoots
family
and
the
status
family
is
just
ridiculous.
I
mean
have
they
been
here.
100
years,
has
my
family
been
here
100
years
sure,
but
regarding
me
recusing
myself
or
a
conflict
of
interest,
that's
just
false,
so
you
know
generally
I'd
say
if
you
shoot
at
me,
you
better
not
miss.
J
J
A
No
there's
there's
there's
nothing
and
that's
the
only
thing
you've
got
before
you
tonight.
You've
heard
a
lot
of
issues
about
land
use
and
zoning
and
annexation.
That's
not
before
you
tonight,
there's
only
one
thing
before
you
tonight
and
that's
whether
or
not
you
want
to
give
the
city
manager
some
additional
time
to
to
have
discussions
with
the
proposed
developer.
Okay,.
J
I
understand
there's
a
lot
of
passionate
individuals
that
came
and
spoke
tonight.
This
is
the
backup
I
just
took
it
out
in
my
backup
book
to
show
you
all
I
have
no
information
on
this
development.
What
the
proposal
is
I
think
mr.
Dulac
has
had
some
type
of
site
plan
of
some
sort.
I've
received
nothing
along
those
lines.
I
know
nothing
about
this
property
other
than
our
city
manager
asked
for
an
extension
to
to
to
the
development
agreement.
J
B
K
B
Thank
you,
I
also
feel
the
same
way.
What
was
before
us
is
tonight
is
just
do
extend
the
time
for
the
city
manager
to
negotiate.
We
have
no
more
information
about
what
people
talked
about
density
and
wetlands
and
building
density
and
again
for
any
annexation.
None
of
that
information
is
before
us.
The
only
thing
the
committee
our
city
manager
is
asking
is
for
more
time
to
negotiate
for
an
agreement
without
any
demotion
move.
B
B
L
One
of
the
things
we've
talked
about
mobile
times
that
our
work
session
meetings,
our
historical
design,
I,
want
to
get
a
head
on
the
head
of
things
as
I
know.
Commissioner
Khare
is
very
passionate
about
this.
We've
been
talking
to
him.
Obviously,
at
this
time
you
know,
I,
don't
have
the
money
yet
and
we
haven't
started,
but
I
would
like
to
get
a
head
start
on
this
and
all
I'm
asking
you
is
that
probably
looks
like
we're.
Gonna
have
to
do
these
things
and
probably
phases
of
eight
to
ten
at
a
time.
L
So
what
I
want
to
try
to
get
consensus,
so
we
could
work
on
wordings,
type
of
signs
and
get
these
things
back
to
you
is
if
we
come
to
the
kind
of
consensus
of
where
we'd
want
to
put
the
first
eight
or
ten
of
these
signs
again,
we've
been
talking
about
them
for
a
long
time.
I
like
everybody
else,
want
to
see
some
things
going.
We've
still
got
a
lot
of
things
again,
like
I
said
to
do
selecting
the
science
that
I
want
to
get
talking.
L
If
we've
got
some
locations,
we
can
be
consistent
on
to
already
be
talking
about
the
wording
for
the
signs
and
all
that,
and
then
we
can
bring
back
to
you.
Some
types
you
know,
including
you
see,
Cara
lemons
I've,
thought
some
people
there's
certain
type
in
there,
but
but
I'm
looking
for
locations
who
the
research
get
the
information
and
start
the
process.
So
you
make
that
decision.
So
the
money
becomes
available.
L
We
can
leave,
see
eight
to
ten
historic
signs,
go
up
and
then
follow
after
that
with
different
phases
and
continue
to
with
historic
signs
around.
There
are
many
many
historic
sites,
so
I
wanted
to
get
the
Commission
input.
I've,
enclosed
I'm,
Commissioner
Khare
suggestions
that
he
sent
to
me
about
some
areas
and
would
be
interested
in
in
you
adding
something
lister.
If
we
can
come
to
consensus
for
these
which
which
ones
you'd
like
to
include
for
us
to
start
the
surgeon
working
on.
Thank.
B
You
first
of
all
I
like
to
thank
Commissioner
Khare
for
providing
to
us
the
he
suggested
priority
list
with
historical
science.
Thanks
for
doing
that,
commissioner
I
agree
that
all
these
locations
are
very
important.
I
like
to
add
couple
more
places.
One
will
be
the
Union
Academy
on
Martin,
Luther,
King
and
I
want
to
thank
mrs.
depths
for
bringing
it
to
my
attention
she's
in
the
audience.
Also,
we
have
many
sponge
packing
houses
throughout
the
city
and
there
some
of
them
I
think
it's
more
until
still
operational.
B
All
the
others
are
not,
but
we
need
to
find
those
places
and
identify
and
get
the
history
with
that
I'd
like
to
see
the
Historical
Society
to
work
with
this
project,
ensure
that
the
information
that
we
have
is
correct
because
there's
nothing,
but
you
know
the
worse
than
having
now
signed
in
the
information
to
being
correct.
So
I
I
like
to
see
the
Historical
Society
to
be
involved
with
that.
Mr.
B
L
I
I
would
just
say
that
you
know,
based
on
miss
lemons.
Memo
regarding
some
of
the
disputes
is
not
the
right
word,
but
just
conflicting
interests
know
where
people
think
that
these
historical
signs
should
go,
that
we
initially
start
with
areas
of
town
that
we
can
directly
control,
as
it
relates
to
the
property
that
we
own
and
go
from
there.
I
B
J
Mayor,
thank
you
for
to
manager
and
I
know.
There's
other
commissioners
that
have
brought
this
up
on
the
Commissioner
Siebert's
had
some
interest
in
this
in
the
past
as
well
and
the
mayor,
so
this
is
obviously
a
board
decision.
It's
not
just
my
idea.
This
is
something
that's
been
brought
up
multiple
times
by
other
commissioners
in
the
past
as
well,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
I
don't
take
credit
for
this
alone.
J
The
sites
that
I
proposed
pertaining
were
the
following.
Just
for
the
record,
the
golf
course
it
being
one
of
the
oldest
golf
courses
and
Tampa
Bay
and
one
of
the
first
ones
to
be
to
develop
Sunset
Beach
again.
These
are
properties
that
are
primarily
owned
by
the
city
of
tarpon
springs,
so
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
permission.
That
needs
to
be
asked
to
put
these
up.
J
Think
the
mayor
had
a
great
idea
about
the
Union
Academy
and
it
was
brought
from
the
back
up
as
well,
but
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
support
to
delay
this
any
longer.
I
think
the
board
should
move
forward.
Our
recommend
the
board
to
move
forward
with
this
to
get
the
first
10
signs
out
amongst
the
community.
There's
a
lot
of
great
information.
J
A
lot
of
history,
I
think
that
should
be
out
there
amongst
the
community
to
read
as
tourists
visit,
our
town
as
residents
and
new
residents
move
into
our
town
to
learn
more
about
the
history.
I
know
when
I
visit
other
communities
across
the
South
that
these
are
items
that
are
really
I,
am
gravitated
towards
to
read
about
these
items
and
about
the
history
of
the
towns
that
I
visited
one
of
the
things
that
we
can
do
to
as
a
city
with
these
signs
is,
we
could
add,
a
QR
code.
J
So
if
you're
at
one
site,
you
can
go
ahead
and
scan
it
and
they
can
bring
up
and
it
can
ping
a
map
or
some
sort
that
you
can
see
all
the
different
historic
sites
as
well
with
that
I
also
had
Trish
print
up
some
items
that
I
saw
on
Facebook
this
past
week
and
a
local
community
here
in
Safety
Harbor.
This
is
a
second
item
that
I
think
would
do
well
within
the
city
of
Tarpon
Springs
as
well.
These
would
be
actually
smaller
signs
that
I
would
like
to
propose
as
well.
J
That
they're
looking
for
so
I
believe
these
two
projects
would
would
capture
that
and
help
with
this.
But
I
would
like
to
with
emphasis,
suggest
that
we
move
forward
tonight
on
the
sites
based
on
the
list.
The
Greek
Church
is
not
part
of
city
property.
I
would
like
to
see
one
there
as
well
and
the
old
jail
at
the
Silver.
J
King
is
not
city
property
as
well,
so
I
would
suggest,
go
ahead
and
removing
those
ones
but
keeping
him
on
the
list
for
future
and
then
adding
the
Union
Academy
on
em,
okay
to
fall
into
the
two
districts
that
I
mentioned
before,
with
the
historic
district
in
the
Greek
town
district,
so
I
think
it's
a
pretty
good
list.
It's
all
on
city-owned
property,
and
there
shouldn't
be
much
there
shouldn't
really
be
any
issues
with
private
property
or
anything
along
those
lines.
Go
ahead,
move
forward
with
this
project.
AE
J
B
H
But
but
this
is,
the
kind
of
marker
I
was
thinking
to
for
it
for
that
kind
of
project.
I'm
confused
a
little
bit
between
these
markers
and
these
houses
that
we
have
and
Commissioner
cars.
Not
here.
These
suggestions
that
he
has
here
for
markers
on
houses
is
this
something
that
he
wanted
to
do
at
a
later
date.
I.
L
H
Know
Karen
is
working
on
on
signs,
also
historical
signs
for
building
I'm
confused
about
you
know
which
science
he's
talking
about
as
opposed
to
the
signs.
It's
the
Karen's
been
working
on
four
buildings
that
are
historic
buildings
and
houses,
but
I
do
agree
that
we
need
to
start
and
I,
don't
know
what
the
process
is
next,
as
far
as
deciding
what
type
of
sign
or
who's
gonna
design
them.
This
is
something
you're
gonna
work
with
historical
as.
L
One
example,
but
we'll
look
at
a
few
more
and
bring
it.
We
just
want
to
start
in
the
wording
and
if
this
list
again
criteria
that's
on
city
property,
which
makes
it
easier
and
faster
the
sign
types.
There
there's
probably
a
couple
two
or
three,
but
we
all
were
getting
star
in
the
wording.
We
can
have
the
sign
types
and
again
we
need
to
work
budgetary
also
because
we
have
to
come
up.
You
know
with
the
budget.
H
L
I'm,
hoping
there's
no
more
emergencies
or
things
happen
where
you
know
I'm
hoping
that
there's
some
money
left
over
as
we
end
this
budget
cycle,
we
can
begin
that's
why
I
want
to
get
a
jump
on
the
wording
and
all
the
things
that
may
take
a
little
time,
I'm,
whether
it's
Karen
working
on
the
story
of
the
Society
or
others,
get
that
wording
back.
Do
you
have
the
types
then
again?
So
we
can.
You
know,
try
to
move
faster
and
see
something
in
the
ground
visible
that
we
can.
L
L
I
say
this
list
that
we
have
now
is
not
big
enough,
that
we'll
do
all
of
them
and
then,
if
we
can
only
do
eight
or
ten,
you
know
I'll
bring
back
my
suggestions
and
you
can
move
one
in
and
out,
like
you
want
stuff.
I
can
get
started
on
all
of
these
I'm
to
get
the
wording
is
far
and
start
the
signs
and
start
that.
O
H
J
To
answer
mayor
thanks
for
asking
the
question
mr.
Seaver,
my
understanding
is
that
she
was
working
on
the
signs
for
the
properties
in
downtown
on
the
buildings
and
not
at
the
houses
within
the
historic
district.
I
could
be
wrong,
but
that
was
my
understanding,
so
this
would
be
an
additional
item
that
would
be
if
the
property
owners
and
Historic
District
were
interested
in
adding
these
to
the
property.
To
show
the
history
of
their
house
were
people
that
I
mean
there's
a
lot.
J
No,
it
would
be,
it
would
be
a
project
with
the
city,
or
it
would
be
a
partnership
with
the
city
saying
the
city
would
help
provide
the
sign.
These
signs
are
a
lot,
obviously,
is
a
lot
less
expensive
than
the
ones
that
we're
talking
about
with
the
big
historic
signs
that
are
asked
metal.
This
is
more
of
like
an
aluminum
type
sign
with
a
design
to
it,
but
I
would
expect
that
there
would
be
a
partnership
between
the
city
and
private
private
property.
K
We
can
go
into
the
overall
significance
to
our
town
or
perhaps
different
cultures
in
our
town
and
then
also
the
areas
of
the
community,
just
making
sure
that
it's
balanced,
you
know
we're
not
all
clustering
in
one
area,
especially
for
the
beginning,
because
I
do
think
these.
These
signs
are
a
great
idea.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
public
fully
understands
what
we're
going
for.
K
Also
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
work
with
the
Historical
Society.
That's
the
Historical
Society
I've
been
in
there.
You
know
a
bunch
of
times
in
the
past.
They
all
really
know
their
stuff
I
think
we
can
lean
on
them
to
help
us
with
with
the
criteria,
but
also
with
the
selection
of
the
sites.
That
might
be
someone
to
consider
and
I'm
fine,
with
the
logic
of
going
with
the
properties
that
we
own,
first
I'm.
K
Okay
with
that
that
makes
sense
to
me,
but
we
can
also
add
in
the
criteria
to
apply
to
those
properties
as
well,
but
other
than
that
I
mean
if
you
guys
are
willing
to.
You,
know
spit
balsam
criteria.
Tonight
I'd
be
willing
to
explore
that
dialogue,
but
I
also
understand
if
you
guys
want
to
wait,
maybe
lean
on
the
Historical
Society
for
further
criteria.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
again,
I
like
to
I
agree
with
the
the
concept
you
just
know
with
the
city-owned
properties.
I
think
makes
sense
and
also
think
you're,
the
Union
Academy
and
later
we
can
go
back
and
edit
the
points
back
in
houses
and
a
great
church.
All
that,
but
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
get
the
a
Historical
Society
involved
to
make
sure
that
the
the
information
that
we
have
is
correct
and
you
should
volunteer
by
several
people,
make
sure
that
whatever
we
have,
there
is.
AF
Tommie
frame
1671
autumn
wood,
streets,
Hartman
springs
just
wanted
to
commend
Commissioner,
Khare
and
all
the
commissioners
and
mayor
for
taking
this
item
up.
I
don't
want
to
get
you
know
too
long
into
it,
but
I
definitely
think
some
of
these
other
ideas
for
the
houses
and
the
buildings
is
really
important,
because
there's
some
of
those
things
that
we
talked
about
direct
aid
to
the
businesses.
You
know
when
we
talk
about
what
was
on
the
ballot
for
tax
incentives.
This
is
something
that
we
can
do.
That's
a
public
good
that
funds.
AF
You
know
an
attraction
for
people
to
come
here
and
gives
them
a
reason
to
come
here
and
stay
a
little
bit
longer
and
get
him
to
the
businesses.
Excuse
me,
you
know,
we
see
it
with
you
know.
Obviously,
bigger
cities
like
st.
Augustine
but
I
even
noted
I
was
up
in
somewhere
in
Northeast,
Florida
I.
Forget
this,
the
town
name,
but
all
in
the
downtown.
Every
building
had
a
little
plaque
a
little
bit
of
history
about
what
was
there
and
we
spent
a
little
bit
more
time
in
that
town
than
we
probably
would
have
otherwise.
AF
So,
commissioner,
severs
comment
about
the
connection
down.
You
know:
there's
a
lot
of
pictures
that
I'm
sure
the
Historical
Society
has
I've
been
working
on
a
little
personal
historical
project
that
so
I've
done
a
lot
of
research
on
it
as
well
I'm
in
town,
so
you
know
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
resources
out
there
and
I
commend
the
city
for
finally,
you
know
taking
a
hold
and
getting
some
of
these
historical
markers
up.
So
thank
you.
N
To
Nabucco
vollis
115
Athens
Street
I
do
want
to
commend
the
Commission
on
their
enthusiasm
and
wanting
to
push
this
forward.
But
I
do
want
to
stress.
There
was
a
committee
that
was
formed
because
there
was
not
consensus
about
this.
We
met
last
week
and
nobody
agreed
that
it
was
time
to
move
forward
the
list
that
and
pretty
much
everyone
agreed
that
the
list
that
was
well
no
I
can't
say
that,
because
the
list
wasn't
available
until
recently,
I
saw
the
list
the
other
day
that
Commissioner
Khare
put
forward.
I'm.
N
Sorry
he's
not
here
right
now,
and
it
certainly
was
mostly
government
properties,
city
properties,
but
they
were
largely
focused
on
the
history
of
the
community
that
was
anglo-american,
Victorian
and
formal.
Our
government
history,
unfortunately
I,
don't
believe
that
that
is
representative
of
a
lot
of
the
other
important
components
of
our
city
and
that
we
could
do
better
in
this
era
in
which
most
government
agencies
and
semi
government
agencies
are
looking
to
have
their
actions
aligned
and
be
informed
by
standards
of
equity
and
diversity.
N
There
was
nothing
on
that
list
that
was
suggested
so,
as
I
said,
none
of
us
believed
it's
time
to
move
forward
without
greater
public
input
into
this
and
I
really
don't
and
I
understand
that
you
need
to
start
somewhere
and
you
want
to
start
just
with
government
buildings
owned
buildings.
But
none
of
us
on
that
committee
believed
that
was
the
place
to
start.
F
Any
dabs,
803
south
distance
avenue
all
right,
I
just
want
to
add
about
the
program.
It's
going
to
be
very
difficult.
No,
it
is
very
difficult
to
pick
ten
from
Tarpon
Springs.
What
I'd
like
to
see
is
that
all
of
Tarpon
Springs
be
represented.
That
means
there
won't
be
three
in
one
area
and
none
in
another
area
and
I
do
think
we
should
start
with
the
city
on
property
businesses
first
that
may
not
satisfy
everybody,
but
we're
going
to
have
to
start
somewhere
and
I
do
hope.
F
E
I
need
a
purse
and
I
don't
want
to
be
short
drive.
If
you
look
in
Southern,
Living
they've
gone
through
southern
communities
and
it
shows
the
signs
they've
used
their
criteria
and
we
can
build
something
from
that.
Also,
the
Pinellas
County
Historical
Society
has
done
a
lot
of
work,
as
has
Clearwater
Tampa
and
st.
Pete
and
they've
had
a
program
which
has
been
very
successful
in
going
through
the
neighborhoods,
especially
Tampa.
They
had
a
program.
Last
night
after
the
beautiful
tarpon
springs
presentation
on
W
edu,
which
was
magnificent.
E
They
talked
about
Ybor,
City
and
Tampa,
and
their
program
has
been
very
successful.
I,
don't
usually
like
to
say,
let's
go
to
other
communities
and
follow
them
because
we
are
tarpon
springs,
but
I
think
they
have
information
which
will
help
us
organize
and
do
it
right
and
do
it
right
and
it
takes
not
just
one
year,
six
months
or
one
year.
It
takes
time
sometimes
like
they
said
on
in
Tampa
two
to
three
years
to
get
all
the
information
together
and
pick
the
buildings
and
get
it
right.
E
It
used
to
be
where
the
condos
are
by,
where
angels
market
used
to
be
the
condos
down
off
of
Athens
Street
and
Captain
Hope
was
very
important
to
tarpon
in
his
work
and
it
was
torn
down
because
couldn't
get
the
city
to
try
to
save
it
or
go
for
a
grant
and
the
property
was
sold.
So
we've
lost
quite
a
few.
But
if
we
take
our
time
and
do
it
right,
I
think
we'll
come
out
way
ahead
of
st.
Augustine,
Ybor,
City
and
a
lot
of
these
communities
and
because
we've
got
so
much
to
offer.

Some
I
was
at
the
committee
or
at
the
meeting
that
occurred
the
other
day
with
Karen
lemons
had
advised
in
several
other
residents
and
I.
Think
it's
a
good
start
with
what
you're
doing
with
the
government
buildings
the
only
thing
the
one
of
the
good
things
that
came
out,
although
it
wasn't
good,
but
it
was
a
positive
thing
that
demonstrated
that
more
work
needed
to
be
done.
AE
It
was
a
lack
of
buildings
in
the
Union
Academy
neighborhood
that
are
identified
as
historic
or
even
culturally
significant
buildings
and
that's
going
to
take
some
time
to
identify
those
buildings.
So
I
would
really
like
to
see
not
just
what
you
do
tonight
approved,
but
also
give
some
direction
to
establish
this
as
a
program
so
that
when
it's
time
next
year
to
come
forward,
there's
some
new
buildings,
such
as
other
buildings
in
the
Union
Academy
neighborhood.
That
would
be
part
of
this
list.
There
were
six
to
seven
hundred
historic
buildings
and
tarpon
springs.
AE
Obviously,
not
all
of
them
are
going
to
get
signs.
That'd
be
a
very,
very
expensive
thing,
but
and
I
agree
with
Commissioner
Donovan's
comment
as
far
as
establishing
a
criteria
which
are
significant
to
the
city,
to
heritage
to
its
culture
and
I,
don't
think
it's
going
to
be
an
easy
thing
of
just
seeing
this
once
a
year
pop
up
by
recommendations
by
Commissioner
on
what
buildings
should
be
done.
AE
I
think
there
ought
to
be
an
established
program
to
continue
this
to
guarantee
its
continuance
so
that
it
doesn't
fizzle
out
in
two
or
three
years,
and
we
wind
up
with
20
or
30
buildings
mark
that
yet
there's
another
hundred
that
are
very
significant.
The
tarpon
springs
as
well,
so
that
was
my
recommendation.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
B
I
Thank
you,
I
just
have
a
couple
things
mayor
to
add.
One
is
a
just
some
clarification
regarding
the
committee.
My
understanding
is
based
on
this
memo
and
not
not
necessarily
forming
a
committee
formally
up
via
this
board
and
putting
number
on
this
committee.
It
was
basically
just
a
meeting
that
was
had
here
in
lemon
called
some
errant
lumens
called
some
people,
but
there's
no
formal
committee
correct
for
the.
L
Second
time
this
week,
as
a
result,
an
email
I
gave
you
an
answer.
So
in
a
public
meeting,
so
everybody
know
there
is
no
committee.
This
committee
thing
is
I
won't
comment
on
where
it
was
how
it
was
made
up,
but
it
was
Karen
lemons
trying
to
trying
to
get
citizen
input
before
we
came
forward
tonight
and
there's
more
citizen
input
that
Karen's
gonna
get
before
tonight.
But
there
is
no
committee
that
the
city
has
a
involvement
if
it
is
itself
created
outside
of
what
Karen
lemons
was
doing.
I
I
B
H
H
We
can't
do
that
at
any
small
amount
of
time
and
I
also
had
a
question
about
the
committee,
because
are
we
thinking
of
forming
a
committee
or
are
we
considering
this
or
who
will
be
identified
to
work
on
this
project
in
the
future,
with
considering
other
areas
that
we?
We
include,
these
these
markers
or
or
signs
so
that
was
kind
of
a
question
I
had
but
I
I
do
want
to
stress
that
we
go
on
with
us
tonight.
It's
how
I
feel
yeah.
B
B
L
Can
do
a
lot
of
things
were
said
tonight,
but
first
of
all,
I
think
the
good
thing
about
this
list
that
we've
got
and
it's
been
added
is
I,
don't
think
anybody,
a
lot
of
us
have
been
around
here.
A
long
time
can
say
that
those
sites
we
out
there
don't
meet
all
the
criteria
that
Commission
of
Donovans
that
this
criteria
was
good.
The
places
we
see
on
this
list,
I,
don't
think.
There's
any
and
I'd
like
to
hear
now.
L
If
any
of
this
list
do
you
dispute
that
they
have
the
different
criteria
as
far
as
far
as
the
age?
Overall,
these
these
are
all
areas
that
are
prominent
in
sound,
so
I,
don't
think
we
really
have
any
argument
on
this
list
that
some
of
these
don't
meet
a
criteria
and
for
the
purpose
of
the
night,
the
criteria
Commissioner
donovan,
used
I
think
I
think
there's
no
argument
of
any
of
these
sites
that
they
would.
It
would
fit
that
criteria.
So
that's
why
it'd
be
a
good
site.
L
I
get
the
information
on
all
of
them,
we're
probably
at
12
13
14.
But
you
know
if
it
gets
down
to
the
point
and
the
money
and
then
we'll
do
the
other
ones,
but
we'll
work
on
all
of
these
that
are
said
tonight
and
I
say
move
forward
and
then
in
the
meantime
we
can
work
on
all
the
other
things
that
were
talked
about
tonight.
But
at
least
we
can
get
this
going
and
back
and.
B
K
K
B
B
O
K
Just
want
to
establish
some
social
would
I,
just
I'll
just
email,
you
and
we
can
actually
put
out
an
official
criteria
list.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
justify
all
the
sites
that
are
selected
again.
I'm,
not
saying
that
these
aren't
justifiable
understand.
I
want
to
point
to
why
you
know
why
these
ten.
B
L
L
L
Written
but
obviously
it's
a
agreement
that
rolls
over
every
five
years
without
without
anything
it
just
keeps
rolling
over
and
rolling
over
and
rolled
over.
So
much
I,
don't
think
anybody
in
the
city
knew
that
even
existed
until
we're
talking
about
the
sign
code,
there's
a
request
that
that
some
different
things
be
done.
L
So
what
I'm
asking
for
tonight
is
and
because
of
the
way
it's
written,
because
you
know
it's
got
some
legal
involved
to
authorize
myself
and
the
city
attorney
to
write
the
letter,
officially,
the
Lions
Club
and
the
organization
creative
outdoors,
that's
involved
in
this
thing.
The
importance
of
the
timing
is
that
this
next
five
years
is
going
to
start
again,
October
3rd,
so
regardless
of
what
we
do
with
the
sign
ordinance
and
if
we
allow
these
don't
allow
these,
there
needs
to
be
a
new
agreement.
Not
this
arc.
L
A
forty
year
agreement-
that's
gotten
passed
so
in
the
in
in
the
least
at
least
we
want
to
do
is
let
them
know
that
we
are
terminating
that
agreement
and
then
we'll
either
work
on
another
agreement
or
when
we
decide
on
the
sign
code
that
they're
not
going
to
be
allowable
anymore,
then
then
that
would
solve
that,
but
the
authority
tonight.
So
we
we
meet
some
time
before
the
beginning,
October
to
end
this
40
year
agreement,
it's
clued
in
your
packet.
You
can
see
how
old
and
archaic
it
is.
L
O
I
L
K
Yeah
I
mean
to
say
the
advertising
game
has
changed
in
40
years,
since
this
agreement
is
probably
a
big
understatement,
I
mean
you
got
to
think
just
the
amount
of
web
ads
and
and
websites
and
all
sorts
of
different
ways
that
businesses
can
can
get
involved.
Now
my
thoughts
haven't
changed
since
a
work
session
meeting
I'd
be
in
favor
of
the
termination
of
this
agreement
from
40
years
ago.
