City of Tarpon Springs Planning and Zoning Board meeting January 25, 2016
A
A
C

This
is
the
part
of
the
meeting
where
we
ordinarily
do
the
Kois
a
judicial
announcement.
We
have
four
items
on
tonight's
agenda.
Two
of
them
are
proposed
to
be
deferred
to
februari
eight,
the
applicant
for
our
other
two
applications
has
been
with
this
board
many
many
times,
and
so,
unless
there
are
questions
about
the
quasi
judicial
process,
I'll
move
right
on
to
the
swearing-in
of
speakers.
That's
all
right
with
it
with
you,
mr.
chairman,
that
work
for
you.
If
you're
going
to
testify
tonight,
give
testimony
presented
evidence,
sq
stand
and
be
sworn
do.
D
D
C
D
E
F
F
Is
everybody
ready?
Okay,
this
application
is
a
site
plan,
approval
application
for
eco
village,
which
is
being
proposed
by
ring
Avenue
LLC.
The
applicant
for
this
project
is
Joseph
J
Coco
locus.
Basically,
the
request
is
to
construct
26
unit
townhome
buildings
for
a
total
of
twelve
units
on
a
previously
developed
site
that
has
since
been
cleared.
That
property
is
approximately
eight
point,
two
acres,
it's
located
in
the
community
redevelopment
district
and
it's
zoned
as
t4a,
which
is
in
the
special
area
plan.
F
It's
the
downtown
redevelopment
in
retail
office
district,
the
surrounding
land
uses,
are
a
mix
of
residential
institutional
office
and
commercial.
This,
basically,
is
in
the
area
that
we're
in
tonight
right
down
the
street
from
this
building,
and
essentially
what
has
happened
is
this
is
also
in
the
historic
preservation
board.
So
there's
been
a
pretty
long
history
for
this
project.
F
It
started
with
the
original
approval,
which
was
a
certificate
of
approval
that
would
they
became
before
HPB
to
try
to
demolish
two
homes.
What
was
actually
approved
during
that
process
was
they
were
allowed
to
demolish
one
home
after
they
tried
to
sell
that
home
to
somebody
else.
Where
could
be
moved
in
the
district?
They
had
a
time
that
they
did
that
and
they
were
asked
to
move
the
other
home,
and
essentially
the
law
that
the
applicant
was
able
to
buy
was
literally
across
the
street.
F
So
that's
the
bungalow
that
you
saw
move
across
the
street
a
number
of
months
ago
and
that
they've
currently
been
working
on
the
rehabilitation
of
that
particular
structure
when
they
could
not
find
a
buyer
for
the
other.
Homewood
was
a
two-story
home.
They
were
given
permission
at
that
time
after
they
had
some
time
was
over
six
month
period
that
they
had,
and
then
they
were
allowed
to
demolish
that
structure.
So
essentially,
what
occurred
during
that
time
was.
F
They
also
came
forward
with
their
certificate
of
approval
for
this
particular
project,
the
site
plan,
approval
project
and
for
the
adjacent
one
that
is
the
next
application,
which
included
the
two
unit
townhome,
which
we
have
to
go
through
different
process
for
that.
But
it's
still
part
of
this
says
it
requires
conditional-use
approval
on
that
to
unit
home,
because
it's
a
zone
there's
a
difference
in
the
zoning
change.
However,
that
being
the
case,
it
is
still
one
combined
project.
F
We'll
have
to
see,
if
they're
interested
and
in
pursuing
that,
but
recognizing
that
the
applicant
has
put
a
large
sum
of
money
into
this
project
to
make
it
and
continue
to
make
it
a
viable
project.
And
with
that
let
me
go
to
the
next
section
here.
That's,
but
that's
the
only
change
in
the
actual
staff
report
is
that
information
just
so
you
have
that
so
you're
aware
of
that
again,
the
ecovillage
project
is,
it
consists
of
two
real
buildings.
F
There's
six
unit
buildings
on
their
town,
homes
are
going
to
be
two
stories:
they're
located
on
the
corner
of
Orange
Street
ring
Avenue
and
their
zone
for
this
particular
use.
Each
of
the
townhomes
has
a
has
an
attached
detached
garage
and
two
parking
spaces.
The
project's
going
to
be
served
by
a
private
20-foot
public
way
in
the
rear
running
south
to
north,
which
is
from
Orange
Avenue
to
Center
to
center
street.
F
Essentially,
the
applicant
as
part
of
the
process
working
with
HPV
HPV
really
expressed
an
interest
in
asking
the
applicant
to
provide
that
additional
sidewalk
on
orange,
because
right
now,
there's
not
enough
right
of
way
for
the
city
to
put
in
a
sidewalk
there.
Basically,
the
right-of-way
goes
to
his
property
line,
so
the
applicant
understanding
that
decided
to
actually
put
that
sidewalk
on
his
property
and
provide
public
access
along
that
sidewalk
on
orange
avenue
and
that
basically
completes
the
rings
of
this
of
that
of
the
sidewalk
along
in
front
of
that
property.
F
So
it
was
a
really
interesting
request
from
HPV
we'd
be
more
of
something
in
line
with
what
this
board
would
ask
for,
but
being
that
the
applicant
was
willing
to
do
that,
we
saw
fit
to.
You
know
include
that
as
part
of
that
request,
when
he
made
that
offer
it
for
HP,
be
that
being
the
case
they're
also
doing
this
private
easement
in
the
rear.
There
was
a
previous
alleyway
back
there
that
alleyway
that
was
actually
back.
F
There
was
actually
the
cocoa
locust,
the
applicants,
building
abuts
this
property
and
they
had
been
given
a
license
to
encroach
years
ago,
along
that
alleyway
and
they've.
Since
asked
for
that
alleyway
to
be
vacated
before
this
project
came
forward
through
the
process
it
has
been
vacated
so
there's
no
longer
an
alleyway
back
there,
so
they're
going
to
provide
their
own
private
driveway
adjacent
to
where
the
alleyway
once
was.
F
That
will
serve
this
project
because
they're
all
of
the
units
are
rear,
loaded
on
that
alleyway,
okay,
but
it's
a
one-way
alleyway,
basically
from
orange
to
center
street,
then
on
center
street
you
either
go
north
or
south,
depending
up
our
Easter
Wes
depending
upon,
would
you
know
your
desired
direction?
So
that's!
That's!
Basically,
that's
the
basics
for
the
particular
project.
F
If
you
have
specific
questions,
I
kind
of
outlined
everything
here,
they're
meeting,
all
of
their
setback
requirements
they're
providing
front
porches,
which,
which
is
the
intention
of
the
of
your
special
area
plan,
is
to
encourage
that
pedestrian
friendly
environment,
the
providing
the
sidewalk
that
we
don't
currently
have
there.
They
made
some
accommodations
to
the
design
of
their
other
thing
to
really
fit
the
criteria
for
the
special
area
plan
they
are.
They've
met
all
the
concurrency
requirements
at
this
particular
point.
So
at
this
at
this
time,
staff
is
recommending
approval.
F
I
do
have
a
group
of
conditions
that
we
can
go
through
when
I
get
to
that
page
and
those
conditions
are.
The
developer
is
responsible
for
acquiring
all
other
jurisdictional
permits
or
approvals
and
for
meeting
the
minimum
criteria
of
the
land
development
code,
including
compliance
with
article
x.
I
would
add
the
public
art
program.
F
The
project
is
subject
to
the
transfer
development
rights
agreement
between
20
to
east
center
street
and
the
ecovillage
project,
as
described
in
Exhibit
A,
which
is
the
receiving
site
of
resolution
2016
04
and
all
the
required
deeds
agreements
must
be
recorded
than
90
days
of
the
site.
Approval
process
essentially
what's
happening
is
the
applicant
is
actually
transferring
one
unit
of
density
from
the
existing
office
building
at
202
east
center
to
this
property
to
allow
for
the
12
units.
F
That
is
the
intention
of
your
of
your
special
area
plan
is
to
allow
for
those
density
transfers,
so
they're
actually
doing
something
that
your
plan
had
envisioned
to
be
done.
It's
not
really
been
done
up
to
this
point
in
the
special
area
plan,
so
this
is
kind
of
a
new
thing
that
agreements
are
all
a
part
of
this
backup.
If
you
have
questions
once
we
get
to
the
end
of
this,
I
can
go
over
that
with
you.
What
the
process
is.
F
The
applicant
must
mitigate
for
tree
removal
at
the
time
of
permitting
pursuant
to
LDC
section
13
3.06.
All
fencing
shown
on
the
site
must
be
consistent
with
the
fences
and
walls
section
of
the
National
Registry
local
historic
districts,
design,
review
guidelines
manual.
That's
the
Randall
that
the
HPV
uses
as
their
design
manual
for
the
design
of
things,
fences
and
walls
are
included.
That's
the
reason
why
that
condition
is
in
there.
Okay,
all
lighting
is
to
be
installed
on
site
is
to
be
shielded
and
directed
internal
to
the
site
plan
or
to
the
psych.
F
Excuse
me,
the
site
plan,
as
condition
demonstrates
that
required
facilities
and
services
will
be
available
at
the
prescribed
level
of
service
standards,
concurrent
with
the
impact
of
development
in
May,
subject
to
section
3
of
resolution,
2016
04
during
the
term
of
the
site
plan
approval
receive
a
certificate
of
concurrency
pursuant
to
section
122.
00
construction
plans
shall
be
consistent
with
the
approved
the
approved
site
plan
and
the
payment
of
all
requisite
fees.
Attendance.
The
project
shall
be
paid
in
accordance
with
the
land
development
code.
F
The
site
plan
shall
expire
within
one
year
of
the
effective
date
unless
an
application,
an
application
has
been
filed
for
a
building
permit,
with
a
construction
plan
signed
and
sealed
by
a
registered
engineer
license
in
the
state
of
Florida
I
think
that
that
is
it.
That
is,
those
are
all
the
conditions.
Now,
if
you
have
any
specific
questions,
I
can
address
your
specific
questions.
F
F
G
Chuck
over,
like
us,
won't
approve
appointed
us
to
drive
dunedin
I.
Just
you
know
like
to
say
that
everything
about
special
area
plan
is
coming
to
fruition
through
this
project,
whether
it's
working
closely
with
staff,
whether
it's
working
with
HPV,
whether
it's
the
incentives
that
the
city's
provided
to
help
this
project
along
and
make
it
more
feasible,
financially
and
creating
a
walkable
community
that
we've
all
been
looking
for.
Simple
things
like
the
sidewalk
on
center
street
is
something
that
needed
to
get
done,
regardless
of
whether
was
required
or
not
my
coder,
by
planning
and
zoning.
G
G
Today,
I
met
with
the
architect
and
toward
eagle
village
Dunedin
to
finalize
some
details.
They
anticipate
the
construction
documents
being
completed
within
30
days
figuring
a
one
turnaround
time.
We
anticipate
a
start,
they
probably
in
may
or
june
of
this
year.
Financing
is
already
in
place
and
things
like
that,
so
we're
good
to
go.
As
far
as
that,
constructionwise
you
figure
on
the
outside.
It's
a
12
month,
project.
A
G
A
Just
something
I
noticed
because
I've
got
a
landscape
mindset.
Is
that
you're
using
a
vibrator
viburnum
of
artisans
along
the
front
of
the
buildings,
something
that
would
be
more
I,
guess,
appealing
or
more
appropriate
would
be
like
a
Walters
I've
run
them
in
the
front.
Those
viburnum,
oh,
that
systems
grow
like
12
to
14
feet
tall.
G
A
E
G
E
E
E
C
E
D
D
E
A
F
Okay,
moving
on
to
the
next
application
again,
this
is
application.
15
117
bring
Avenue
LLC
its
resolution,
2016
01,
and
essentially
what
it
is,
is
it's
requesting
a
conditional
use
to
allow
construction
of
a
two
unit
attached
single-family
dwelling
on
property
on
property
located
at
to
that
207
east
center
street,
in
the
condition
conditional
residential
mixed
7.5
district
and
it
provides
for
findings,
provides
for
conditions,
provides
for
effective
date.
That's
essentially
the
the
header
for
your
resolution
in
this
application.
Again,
the
applicant
is
Joseph
J
kokkinakis,
essentially
what
they're?
F
What
they're
requesting
is
a
compatibility
determination
by
this
board
that
an
attached
home
would
be
consistent
with
the
other
uses
residential
uses
in
the
neighbor.
Actually,
the
whole
neighborhood
uses,
not
just
the
residential,
because
you
have
a
mixed
use
area
here.
Essentially,
what's
happened
is
this
lot
is
the
first
lot
outside
of
the
special
area
plan?
Ok,
it's
adjacent
to
the
special
area
plan,
but
it's
not
actually.
Within
the
special
area
plan.
The
applicant
had
originally
requested
three
units
on
this
property
of
basically
single-family
detached
units
with
separate
detached
garage
very
similar
to
the
product.
F
The
project
overall,
however,
HPB,
had
some
concerns
with
the
detached
garages
front
going
along
center
street,
and
so
they
basically
gave
the
applicant
some
direction
to
come
back
with
some
other
design.
The
applicant
and
I
then
sat
down
and
kind
of
thought
alright.
Well,
what
can
we
do?
What's
the
possibility
and
they
asked
about
the
opportunity
to
do
attached
housing
well,
this
particular
district
does
allow
for
attached
housing.
F
They
decided
to
eliminate
one
of
the
units
asked
for
a
two
unit
building
instead
of
a
three
unit
building
and
then
combine
the
driveway,
so
there's
only
a
single
access
point
for
the
combined
home.
So
the
again
the
garages
will
be
on
the
rear
of
the
property,
in
this
case,
they'll
be
attached
to
the
house
instead
of
being
detached
like
they
are
on
the
the
townhome
project,
but
it
allows
for
that
single
connection.
F
Point
it's
more
consistent
with
what's
actually
allowed
in
the
special
area
plan
and
what
you
actually
see
in
the
historic
district
in
this
area.
You
have
a
lot
of
alleyways
and
things
that
traditionally
had
been
used
as
the
vehicular
access
points
for
a
lot
of
your
historic
homes.
Here,
it's
a
more
recent
trend
to
have
that
driveway
in
the
center
thats
that
started
in
the
50s,
really
when
cars
became
really
easy
to
get.
So
that
being
the
case,
it's
not
that
they
want
to
go
back
but
they're.
F
So
that's
the
big
difference
here
and
the
reason
why
we're
going
through
this
again,
this
project
went
to
HPB
HPB
has
approved
it.
It's
part
of
the
larger
ecovillage
project.
It
will
be
the
same
design.
The
elevations
are
extremely
similar
to
the
application.
The
previous
application
for
the
site
plan
approval
except
you're.
Looking
at
two
units
instead
of
six
units,
I
mean
that's
the
difference,
you're
going
to
have
a
much
smaller
footprint.
Overall,
a
six-unit
building
is
going
to
have
a
massing,
that's
different
than
that
to
unit
building.
F
So
basically,
staff
agrees
that
this
is
a
compatible
use
within
that.
Within
this
this
neighborhood,
you
have
a
variety
of
different
uses.
You
have
two
story:
homes,
you
have
single
story:
homes
you
have
attached
homes,
you
have
this
already
happening
in
your
district.
You've
got
multifamily
right
up
here
across
from
City
Hall
in
the
bin
pine
trail
and
ring
Avenue
villages,
which
are
the
public
housing
authority
of
the
town
of
the
housing
authorities
projects.
F
F
The
developer
is
responsible
for
acquiring
all
other
jurisdictional
permits
or
approvals
and
for
meeting
the
minimum
criteria
of
the
land
development
code.
The
applicant
must
mitigate
for
tree

at
the
time
of

pursuant
to
LDC
section
13
3.06.
Any
lighting
to
be
installed
on
site
is
to
be
shielded
and
directed
internal
to
the
site.
The
site
plan,
as
condition,
demonstrates
that
the
required
facilities
and
services
will
be
available
at
the
prescribed
level.
F
The
prescribed
level
of
service
standards,
concurrent
with
the
impact
of
the
development
in
May
during
the

F
Unless
an
applicant,
the
application
has
been
filed
for
a
building
permit
with
construction
plans
signed
and
sealed
by
a
registered
and
engineer
license
in
the
state
of
Florida.
And
if
you
have
any
specific
questions,
I
can
I
can
speak
to
those
questions,
but
this
is
again
adjacent
to
the
previously
approved
project
that
we've
just
discussed.
E
I
just
want
to
congratulate
the
Africa
his
company
for
again
what
they're
doing
for
us,
because
they
don't
have
something
very
presentable
in
the
area
and
there
is
a
great
need
for
something
like
this
or
the
downtown
business
district
and
very
successful
with
it
and
there's
still
more
property
that
you
all
the
way
down
the
trail.
But
that
shows
how
we
will
succeed
in
becoming
an
upscale,
more
upscale
community.
C
E
A
E
F
A
F
The
only
applications
that
will
be
on
that
meeting
is
that
Mears
project
I
think
it's
a
better
way
for
us
to
handle
it
in
this
case,
because
that
will
be
a
that
will
be
another
large,
very
large
project,
and
we
are
going
to
be
amending
a
special
area
plan
before
we
actually
see
that
project.
So
it
that
way,
you'll
have
plenty
of
time
to
ask
questions,
or
we
can
go
over
that.
F
Dave
Healy
will
be
here
for
that
application
as
well
he's
been
working
with
me
on
that
because
he
was
part,
or
at
least
was
part
of
that
project
before
I
got
here,
so
we
basically
are
working
as
on
a
team
basis
to
try
to
work
through
the
issues
with
the
applicant.
We
are
confident
that
the
applicant
will
provide
everything
that
we
need
by
that
by
that
deadline
and
we'll
get
your
packets
out
to
you
as
soon
as
we
can.
E
E
F
With
that,
what
we
will
do
in
that
case
is,
we
probably
will
move
forward
with
the
special
area
plan
amendment
at
least,
and
then
we
can
defer,
if
that's
the
the
pleasure
of
the
board
to
on
that
athlete
on
that
apartment.
On
the
other
piece
of
the
of
the
question
here,
which
is
the
apartment
complex,
but
at
this
point
the
applicant
is
assured
us
that
they
will
provide
everything
I'm
trying
to
give
them
the
benefit
of
the
doubt
on
that
and
we'll
try
to
move
it
forward.
F
The
special
area
plan
does
require
two
hearings
before
the
board.
It
is
an
ordinance
amendment,
so
we
would
like
to
move
that
forward.
But
again
I
hear
what
you're
saying
miss
protos
we
will
do.
It
will
make
every
effort
to
ensure
that
that
application
is
a
complete
application
and
you
have
everything
you
need
to
review.
E
F
Ideally
they
would
go
together
so
that
the
board
knows
when
they're,
proving
that
special
area
play
that
there
really
is
a
project
and
that
it's
not
just
you
know
that
is
moving
through
the
process,
so
will
will
broach
that
when
we
get
a
little
bit
closer
to
the
deadline,
me
it's
not
very
far
away,
but
will
will
will
Roche
that
when
we
get
a
little
bit
closer
I
agree,
I
agree,
I,
actually
don't
need
them.
We
have
more.
The
applicants
provided
ample
copies,
which
is
phenomenal.
