- >> All right. I'm going to call to order this meeting of Monroe County Board of Commissioners
- for Work Session Agenda. It is Thursday, May 29th. Commissioner Madeira is joining us remotely.
- Commissioner Jones and I are here and present in the NatU Hill Room.
- First on our agenda is for Planning, Ordinance 2025-16, Ms. Cresilius.
- >> Good morning. I will pull up my report. So this is a
- outline plan amendment to the Westgate on 3rd. They're developing the property very quickly.
- Everything is going to plan and the project manager, Mr. Huffman, has been great to work with.
- There we go. The phasing plan that they created back in 2004, 2024, at the beginning of the year
- under amendment number one, has shown some limitations. So they are currently,
- this spring, have faced some really wet conditions and they are proposing to amend their phasing
- plan. So no changes to the PUD uses, design standard, nothing else. It's just to the narrative
- that describes when, what should be completed throughout the eight phases. So they're currently
- trying to obtain, wanting to obtain a land use certificate for phase three. Phase three states
- that they have to have pond 1, 3, 3A and 4 fully finished. The rains have not allowed them to do
- that this year. They've been in close contact with Stormwater and Stormwater recommends, is
- approval.
- They are in support of the amending phasing narrative. So the director has worked with
- County Legal to come up with some language that gives them some flexibility for the rest of the
- development in case weather delays them again. So right here on screen, I won't fully read it. I
- know you guys are tight on time today, but it's some language that they've added four different
- times into their phasing narrative that will give them some flexibility to obtain a conditional
- land
- use certificate. It's at the discretion of the administrator, which would be the planning director
- and then it can be issued for six months and potentially renewed for an additional six months.
- So that's a quick overview. So only changes to the narrative. Does anybody have questions for me?
- Any
- area that you'd like to see more information? Because we have so little flexibility with the
- PUD. They're all of their information. It's just very black and white, including the narrative.
- They really have been pushed up against this deadline for getting their certificate of occupancy.
- So they can't get their occupancy for phase three until they get a conditional land use certificate
- from us. So the only thing that we were able to do to help is to kind of expedite this petition
- and get it before you as quickly as we could. So I guess my only note before questions is we
- were hoping to bring this back as soon as you're comfortable with for a final hearing.
- Right. So that would be June 5th would be our next meeting. Questions or comments? Commissioner
- Jones?
- I can certainly understand how the constant rain this spring has set them back.
- The ground has really never had a chance to dry out all spring long so it's not surprising.
- Yeah sure and I know that Ms. Ridge had questions related to this entire petition area in the
- roadway and I know that was addressed at our planning commission meeting and she was satisfied
- with the answer on that because she's at the same time trying to organize the paving of
- Park Square. So Commissioner Madera do you have any questions for planning?
- No I don't thank you. Are we all okay with hearing this on June 5th next week?
- Is that okay with you Commissioner Madera? Yes. Okay good all right. Absolutely. Yeah so please
- bring
- this back next week. Ms. Crisilius if possible and we'll get moving on it. Thank you so much.
- Appreciate your work on this. I know it's been difficult. Very complicated. All right thank you.
- The next item is for ordinance 2025-17. Ms. Nestor-Gellin are you
- yes can you hear me okay? Yes we sure can. Okay I will make this one quite quick.
- So I do actually just want to bring up two other text amendments as well but I'll make them very
- brief. So first off is the Scrivener's Error. So the area in question is 3800 West Constitution
- Avenue.
- They had a rezone in 2022 to rezone both this parcel and this parcel from PUD to LI.
- In the CDO map unfortunately this parcel accidentally reverted back to PUD. So when we
- talked to the legal department they suggested that we go ahead and do a new ordinance and we'll
- just
- reference the 2022-01 ordinance which officially rezone this from PUD to LI. So it was an error
- and we're trying to correct it. So that's issue number one. We did have two CDO text amendments
- that we would also like to bring back to the commissioners hopefully next week if that's
- available. One of them is a just correction of Scrivener's Errors, formatting errors,
- and I'll make sure this is in the full packet. The planning commission did vote to approve this
- seven to one and it was pretty straightforward with all the edits listed in the forefront of the
- packet. So nothing too controversial in any of these edits. They're just mostly errors that we've
- found since adopting the ordinance. The next text amendment that we took to the planning commission
- which was approved by a vote of six to zero was the impervious cover maximum and this is due to
- the number of variances that we're getting after the adoption of the CDO and in relation to the
- way that the text has been administered in the office and what people are requesting. We'd like
- to amend the numbers a bit after working with the stormwater program manager as well as the
- drainage
- board to come up with better standards. So this will also be included but it is allowing us to
- be able to move forward with some of the development projects that we're seeing coming through
- our office. Are there any questions or do you want me to go further into depth on any of these?
- Well first of all I think we can go ahead and take care of one of the items since it was the
- Scrivener's error today. So I'm going to make a motion that we approve ordinance 2025-17
- which will correct a Scrivener's error on a rezone and this is for 3800 west constitution avenue.
- Second. All right motion and a second. Any comments from my colleagues on this item?
- Questions? I have none. All right any public comment on this item?
- You raise your hand on teams or come to the podium. Seeing none. Mr. Cockrell will you please call
- the roll on ordinance 2025-17? Commissioner Thomas? Yes. Commissioner Jones? Yes. Commissioner Madeira?
- Yes. Motion approved three to zero. Great thank you so much. The other two items
- you bring back for us on our meeting June 5th if you would since I know the impervious covers
- an issue and I just encourage my colleagues to contact your you or other staff in your office
- who do great work every day to if they have questions on this. Okay does that work for
- everyone? Any other items? Mr. Cockrell? Ms. Purdy? All right excellent. All right with that
- our work session is adjourned. Thanks everyone be safe be well.
