[9:02] Pride all right thank

[9:07] you good evening and thank you for

[9:09] having us here tonight I'm Gail Fleming

[9:11] I'm the director of homeowner services

[9:12] and we're here to propose bringing our

[9:15] neighborhood revitalization program to

[9:18] aoi um the purpose and vision of

[9:21] neighborhood revitalization is that

[9:23] everyone will have a decent place to

[9:24] live the entire Community can be

[9:26] uplifted and involved and we provide an

[9:28] array of services to homeowners to

[9:30] improve their quality of life uh it also

[9:33] Fosters the shared sense of ownership

[9:35] and social cohesion what we do in our

[9:38] neighborhood revitalization program is

[9:40] provide exterior Home Improvements and

[9:42] minor critical repair to homes for West

[9:45] Orange County residents um which builds

[9:48] neighborhoods community and a sense of

[9:50] Pride for

[9:52] homeowners so we have done over 50

[9:54] houses in West Orange County in the last

[9:56] 3 to four years and you can see some of

[9:58] the before and after

[10:02] pictures and so what we're proposing

[10:04] this evening is bringing that program

[10:06] here to aoi we want to have your help in

[10:10] identifying a neighborhood liaison

[10:12] somebody who's living in the

[10:13] neighborhood who knows the residents in

[10:16] that neighborhood and can help us

[10:17] identify the resident homes for

[10:21] revitalization um they must be a h they

[10:23] must be a homeowner resident and they're

[10:26] willing to partner with us the resident

[10:29] sign a partnership agreement and

[10:31] includes a $100 administration fee and

[10:34] we ask every homeowner to provide us

[10:37] with two of two volunteers that will

[10:40] help and work with our volunteers to

[10:43] revitalize that home and what we're

[10:46] asking from the city is to participate

[10:48] in the funding of this program we also

[10:51] do surveys after the after we Revitalize

[10:54] each home and we would return those

[10:55] surveys back to the

[10:58] city so our goal with this program in

[11:01] aoi is to do 10 homes between January of

[11:04] 2025 and January of

[11:06] 2026 we have our construction team

[11:09] approve each resident home candidate and

[11:11] they they inspect the home to make sure

[11:13] that it's something that we can do uh we

[11:16] provide all the Material supplies

[11:18] equipment and volunteers and we usually

[11:20] have 10 to 20 volunteers on a site in

[11:22] one day and the home is done in one day

[11:26] we pressure wash the house do exterior

[11:29] minor critical repair exterior and trim

[11:32] painting front yard cleanup Landscaping

[11:35] of the front yard and then each resident

[11:38] each home resident uh receives a lawn

[11:42] and Home maintenance kit which includes

[11:44] a hose a rake and a shovel and so our

[11:48] volunteers come out for one day and they

[11:50] get all of this done and we do work with

[11:54] the homeowners they pick their paint

[11:55] colors they pick what kind of plants

[11:57] they want in their yard

[12:04] well nobody wants to ask for the money

[12:06] but I certainly don't mind the total

[12:08] cost of the program to revitalize 10

[12:10] homes is

[12:11] $20,000 habitat's investment would be

[12:13] $1,500 per home which is 15,000 and

[12:16] we're asking for an investment of the

[12:17] city of okoy of $5,000 which would be

[12:21] $500 per home of those 10

[12:25] homes are there any questions

[12:29] all right you need the answer for that

[12:30] now t i we can wait anybody anybody got

[12:34] any

[12:35] comments I I

[12:37] um honestly I don't have a problem with

[12:40] that I think we we've got a little money

[12:42] i' like to say the contingency fund see

[12:44] if we can do

[12:46] the you have you have adequate funding

[12:49] in the contingency fund balance I think

[12:51] it's a pretty good thing we don't have

[12:52] any land right now we met and talked

[12:54] with you and I did and Mike that we

[12:57] don't have any property but I think

[12:59] that's a good alternative to do some I

[13:02] know the county used to do some of that

[13:03] a long time ago here but I think $5,000

[13:06] would be a good investment from our city

[13:09] towards that and I would like to see I

[13:11] can't make the Motions you well do we

[13:13] have first of all are we talking the 23

[13:16] 24 budget that we are we looking what's

[13:19] a we're right in between budgets

[13:21] tomorrow night is our budget hearing for

[13:22] next year so I would recommend that

[13:25] you authorize me to take it from the

[13:27] current years's contingent see

[13:30] $55,000 and we can we can go ahead and

[13:33] do that we have 55,000 remaining okay

[13:37] yep all right that's a good program I

[13:40] habitat human is a wonderful program I

[13:42] I'm sorry you make I will for gon say

[13:46] something it's not on the agenda can we

[13:48] make a motion City attorney make a

[13:52] motion you can make a motion um I think

[13:55] because it's a proposition if if any

[13:57] members of the community would like to

[13:58] comment they should have that

[13:59] opportunity to do

[14:01] so okay I think you wanted to say

[14:03] something before the only thing I wanted

[14:05] to say is we are really expanding

[14:07] habitat West Orange is really really

[14:10] expanding tremendously and what our hope

[14:12] is is that once we get in and start

[14:14] working in the community we will need

[14:16] for the city commission or someone on

[14:18] the city commission to identify a

[14:20] liaison in that neighborhood who's a

[14:22] resident who can identify homes that

[14:24] might need to be um revitalized but once

[14:28] you find that person we will work with

[14:30] that liaison to identify those homes and

[14:33] get them into the program and our hope

[14:35] is that even though you may not have

[14:36] land now we're hoping that with other

[14:39] things that we've got in the works that

[14:40] we can come and begin to um do some home

[14:43] construction in the city of okoy we

[14:46] would really really like to do that so

[14:47] thank you so much for your attention and

[14:49] your motion I appreciate it all right we

[14:52] need a second you make the motion I'll

[14:55] make the motion but did you need ask you

[14:56] say we have to ask I'll second would you

[14:58] okay I'm just I didn't want to make a

[14:59] motion before you asked you had asked a

[15:02] question I'll make a motion that's fine

[15:04] make a motion we can have discussion

[15:06] $5,000 yes make you second the motion

[15:10] commissioner Wilson made made the motion

[15:13] and commissioner Kenedy second a motion

[15:15] anybody in the public have any comments

[15:16] towards that Mr

[15:19] har I'm doing it this way that's fine I

[15:23] just follow I'm going have to move over

[15:25] one of yall Che

[15:29] go ahead I know I'm getting over a that

[15:33] over uh agis art art par Cory Florida is

[15:37] my understanding that's also for the

[15:39] revitalization of her current homework

[15:40] correct yes and I think that's a great

[15:42] idea because we have a lot of people my

[15:44] father has some rental homes and over

[15:45] the years they deteriorate with the cost

[15:48] of things now it's nearly impossible for

[15:50] a person on a fixed income to try to

[15:51] revitalize that home what I hate to see

[15:53] is somewhere live here 30 40 Years of

[15:56] their life get into their senior years

[15:57] and they can't afford to fix their house

[15:59] so that alone to me is worth $5,000 you

[16:02] know so I I think it's a great idea it's a way to for the city to show they

[16:06] do care about the residents I've had a

[16:08] lot of friends try to move to a court

[16:09] but the cost was just too high so if

[16:10] anything else we need ought to take care

[16:12] of the folks that have lived here 30 40

[16:13] years been an active part of our society

[16:15] pretty much built this city that we now

[16:17] inherited so I think it's a great idea

[16:18] thank you sir thank you Mr

[22:20] ordinance does not affect existing

[22:23] building permits so for the four

[22:25] residential subdivisions we have being

[22:27] built they can still build their their

[22:28] homes it will not affect any building

[22:30] permit uh submitt uh this ordinance will

[22:34] provide City staff a temporary pause to

[22:37] be able to focus on a major rewrite to

[22:41] both the Land Development code and the

[22:44] comprehensive plan of the city of aoi

[22:47] and uh this ordinance have had some

[22:50] questions projects that are in the

[22:53] process such as the item on the agenda

[22:56] that you did a first reading shops of

[22:57] the bluff those items that are in

[22:59] process in review don't have to stop

[23:01] with the moratorium it would be any next

[23:04] step with permitting after that a site

[23:08] plan permit um or a revision to an

[23:11] approved PD if we approve a plan unit

[23:14] development uh to next week and if they

[23:17] wanted to come back and amend it that

[23:18] would they would we would not be able to

[23:20] receive that application and so again uh

[23:22] the city's under major rewrite of the

[23:24] Land Development code and the

[23:25] comprehensive plan uh we are working

[23:28] hard to provide documents to present to

[23:30] you that will display the vision that

[23:33] this commission has expressed during

[23:35] some of the more recent items in the

[23:37] past couple years uh citizen comments uh

[23:41] this the items comments we received in

[23:42] our downtown Workshop the vision of the

[23:46] new city manager and look forward to

[23:48] Bringing these items to you at a later

[23:50] date and I'll entertain any questions

[23:52] mayor thank you right before I've vote

[23:54] in the public hearing does anybody

[23:55] commission want to speak to it before

[23:58] all right I'll open the public hearing I

[24:01] have one citizen here Mr Mr de come on

[24:14] day good evening fellow citizens

[24:17] Commissioners my name is Doug gomber I'm

[24:20] a resident of okoi for 10 years I live

[24:22] at 405 Misty Meadow Drive in the white

[24:25] Hill Homeowner

[24:26] Association I've been involved in Orange

[24:28] County politics and Orange County growth

[24:30] management since I've moved here in

[24:32] 1982 I was involved in the Orange County

[24:35] growth management under former mayor

[24:37] Glenda hood and was awarded uh several

[24:40] Awards nationally for the for that piece

[24:42] of legislation that we passed and if you

[24:45] look at the city of Orlando it's done

[24:46] very well my question here and I'm I'm smart enough to have been in Florida

[24:51] for 42 years I understand Florida

[24:53] politics and I can read the tea leaves I

[24:55] know I'm not going to win this but I'm

[24:56] probably the only one in this room

[24:58] that's against this moratorium and let

[25:00] me tell you why I'm a insurance agent I

[25:03] deal with large corporations that do

[25:05] building that are land owners

[25:08] restorators uh individual entrepreneurs

[25:11] and people that build manufacturing

[25:13] facilities the central Florida area is

[25:16] lucky to be in a growth area we have

[25:18] people moving here regardless of we we

[25:20] couldn't do anything wrong to prevent

[25:21] people from coming here and there's

[25:23] going to be growth in this

[25:25] area the growth that an area like a KO

[25:29] or Winter Park or Orlando or oovo or

[25:32] anything has is based on one thing

[25:34] that's progress and you know what

[25:36] progress means it's momentum it's

[25:39] momentum that builds progress if you put

[25:41] a six-month moratorium on people coming

[25:44] down here and you're saying you're going

[25:45] to close for business you're going to

[25:47] put yourself at least 12 months behind

[25:49] the eightball and I'll tell you why

[25:51] nobody's going to be sitting there the

[25:53] first day after this six month of

[25:54] moratorium waiting to build people or bu

[25:57] build things in a COI it's going to take

[25:58] a while for you to rebuild back up so

[26:01] it's more than just a six-month stoppage

[26:02] and work that you're asking for and

[26:05] people in the town that build and their

[26:07] and the doers and the goers and the

[26:08] thinkers they're going to look at a CO

[26:10] and say what the heck is going on out

[26:12] there that they have to totally stop for

[26:14] six months and I just don't understand

[26:17] why that's what's that's got to happen

[26:19] we should be more careful about what we

[26:20] allow in the area if people are upset

[26:22] about the amount of building and the and

[26:24] the uh and the growth that we've got

[26:26] let's talk about that but the tell

[26:28] people in the perception that you have

[26:30] in the Tri County Area that says hey

[26:32] ovo's got to put a break on this because

[26:34] they can't handle this it's a perception

[26:36] thing to people saying a CO's close for

[26:38] business and I'm here to tell you that

[26:40] that's what my clients think and I've

[26:42] got over a couple hundred I work for the

[26:44] largest Insurance Brokerage in the State

[26:46] of Florida and I have hundreds of

[26:48] clients that do all this work and when

[26:49] you talk to them about a KO they're not

[26:51] in the top three they're not even the

[26:53] top five they're not in the top seven of

[26:55] places where people want to come do

[26:57] business and stuff like this doesn't

[26:59] help so I know this is going to pass I

[27:01] get that but I want you guys to think

[27:03] about this before you go ahead and do it

[27:05] think of the ramifications down the road

[27:08] of what you're going to vote on tonight

[27:10] and my second point is this if we're the

[27:12] only one doing this why isn't ID why

[27:15] isn't Winter Park why isn't matland why

[27:17] aren't Apopka why aren't they shutting down is there something

[27:21] different about the way they run their

[27:22] staff in the way we run our staff that

[27:25] we can't do these kind of changes on the

[27:26] Fly while we're doing all the other

[27:28] things we're doing I don't understand

[27:30] that so Mr rer I'd like you to address

[27:33] that for me because I don't understand

[27:35] why it takes a stoppage to do something

[27:37] that should be part of everything you do

[27:40] mayor I'd like to address that if please

[27:43] commission you you th Mr yes sir okay um

[27:47] Mr gomber just made a lucid well

[27:51] articulated argument and I agree with

[27:54] almost everything he said with the

[27:56] exception of the last part okay um the

[28:02] community has spoken numerous times over

[28:05] the years we've had public participation

[28:07] events we have current projects and we

[28:10] hear the same type of thing our code

[28:12] does not create the types of places of

[28:15] some of the places you mentioned I know

[28:17] Ovito has form-based standards in their

[28:19] code and I know several of the other

[28:22] Winter Park Winter Garden all the

[28:24] character towns have form-based Land

[28:27] Development code elements okay aoy is

[28:30] very progrowth right now but we want to

[28:33] manage it and create places that have

[28:36] better connectivity that have better

[28:38] Street Scapes that are more urban in

[28:40] function and form and we feel very

[28:44] confident that the market is still going

[28:46] to respond well we actually have a huge

[28:49] uh baseball entity that's coming in that

[28:51] the commission's approved um part of

[28:54] this is in relation to that project

[28:56] because of all the economic press

[28:58] pressure that's going to come um and our

[29:00] citizens and our commission has been

[29:02] very clear to us as far as wanting to

[29:04] see um an urban style commercial

[29:07] building with wide Street wide walks um

[29:11] eating public dining out on the sidewalk

[29:14] um more like you would see in a

[29:16] traditional downtown versus two rows of

[29:19] parking a landscape buffer and a strip

[29:21] center and so this is part of that

[29:25] effort um we feel like there's this

[29:27] slight loss because the Sports Complex

[29:30] is going through a large scale comp plan

[29:32] Amendment which should transmit in

[29:34] October um but the one thing that did

[29:38] not change throughout covid was travel

[29:41] Sports and travel Sports became its own

[29:44] market now we've done a lot of work with

[29:47] this particular developer and they are

[29:52] projecting the population of this city

[29:54] is going to increase on weekends when

[29:56] they're having tournaments 5 to8 8,000

[29:58] people and that's going to create a

[30:01] tremendous amount of economic pressure

[30:03] and we want to be able to create those

[30:04] character type places instead of being

[30:07] inundated with Garden Apartments and um

[30:12] retail strip centers not saying those

[30:14] are bad uses they all have a place but

[30:16] one of the things that our communities

[30:18] been very clear on over the years and

[30:20] all the master planning we've done has

[30:22] been we want more urban walkable places

[30:25] where we can have multiple unplanned

[30:27] exchanges those types of things and what

[30:29] our code does currently does not create

[30:32] that and and so I I hate it um I hate

[30:36] having to press the pause button but I

[30:38] think we're going to be

[30:40] okay well Mr shads I agree with you I

[30:43] mean you and I are on the same page with

[30:44] a vision it's just the way of getting

[30:46] there we disagree on I can respect that

[30:50] thank you

[30:51] sir all right I have one more uh Kelly

[30:54] Beck

[31:01] good evening my name is Kelly Beck I'm

[31:03] the HOA president for greens at Forest

[31:05] Lake uh representing about 400 residents

[31:09] here in okoi in 200 homes I'm here to

[31:12] speak in support of the moratorium I've

[31:13] spoken in front of this board and

[31:15] planning and zoning numerous times

[31:17] regarding concerns about how development

[31:20] takes place in our community um I'm

[31:22] pretty sure Mr Rumer dreads when he sees

[31:24] my name pop up in his inbox at this

[31:26] point okoi has so much potential and we

[31:30] are growing tremendously and we don't

[31:31] want to slow that growth but we also

[31:33] need to do so responsibly we need to do

[31:36] so in a way that enhances the way of

[31:38] life for those who live here who have

[31:40] invested in this community through their

[31:42] property purchases and through their

[31:44] businesses um one of the number one

[31:46] pieces of feedback that our community

[31:48] and others I've spoken with have gotten

[31:50] when we ask why is a certain thing being

[31:53] allowed to happen why are they allowed

[31:55] to build here why are they being allowed

[31:56] to build the way they are in a way that

[31:59] um referencing the Magnolia Reserve

[32:00] Community because I've been up here

[32:02] several times about that it's because

[32:04] there's nothing in the Land Development

[32:05] code to stop it there's nothing that

[32:08] holds them to a standard of when these

[32:10] developers come in and pick up big plots

[32:13] of land and want to put in this massive

[32:15] Community there's not a standard that

[32:16] says well we need to have these types of

[32:19] amenities we need to have this much

[32:20] space other than obviously for water and

[32:23] you know water flow but the bottom line

[32:26] is we don't have well develop standards

[32:28] to hold developers to to hold businesses

[32:31] to in order to make sure that what's

[32:34] coming into our community is adding

[32:36] value and enhancing the way of life for

[32:38] those who live here so I fully support

[32:40] this I absolutely if there are City

[32:43] boards where you need volunteers to

[32:44] weigh in I will absolutely be there this

[32:47] is I think a great step in the right

[32:49] direction to making sure we're setting

[32:50] okoi up for success in the future thank

[32:53] you thank

[32:55] you all right nobody else has any public

[32:58] comments on that

[33:00] issue all right we'll close it I'm going

[33:01] to bring it back up to D anybody else

[33:03] have any comments on

[33:06] what

[33:08] okay um I'm going to vote to support the

[33:13] moratorium um I was on Planning and

[33:17] Zoning I've seen the problems um growth

[33:22] is good but growth that exceeds

[33:26] everyone's expectations and the

[33:28] imagination of the Land Development code

[33:30] is written is unmanaged unbalanced

[33:34] growth and we have been asked repeatedly

[33:38] I've asked

[33:39] repeatedly for the concerns of the

[33:42] residents for the people who have lived

[33:44] in aoi for years to be

[33:46] prioritized in our budget in our plans

[33:49] in our code and um that's what we're

[33:53] doing this is the the fruit from that

[33:57] process

[33:58] and um 6 months in development is

[34:03] nothing um really um that's just a deep

[34:09] breath and um I support this fully I

[34:13] think it's wonderful I think staff has

[34:16] done a wonderful job so far and uh I

[34:19] think characterizing it as a you know a

[34:22] CO can't walk and chew gum at the same

[34:24] time paraphrasing is a mistake this is

[34:27] going to be great for our city this is

[34:30] going to help us grow in a way that

[34:32] maintains the character of our city and

[34:35] that is important to the people who live

[34:37] here to the majority of the people who

[34:38] live here thank you thank you anybody

[34:40] else I

[34:42] would I agree with everyone I know I

[34:45] spoke to Mr gber before I agree with him

[34:48] I agree with Miss Beck I agree with Mr

[34:50] Shadrick that um but it looks like I I

[34:53] will agree I'm going to vote Yes on it

[34:56] um I feel as though that after we do

[34:59] this I think what we need to do is

[35:01] remember that we can't wait for another

[35:03] moratorium if there's something that

[35:04] needs to be changed within the Land

[35:06] Development code we need to adjust it at

[35:08] that point it's really too bad that

[35:10] we've waited to the point where we have

[35:11] to shut down for six months and we

[35:14] should be able to I would hope after

[35:16] this that we will address issues as they

[35:19] come up and not have to shut down again

[35:22] we don't have a lot of land left well at

[35:24] least some districts don't have a lot of

[35:26] land left and again we have to be very

[35:29] diligent in our efforts to make sure

[35:31] that that's used um in the best interest

[35:34] of our residents but I also feel as

[35:36] though that i' hate to see this happen

[35:38] again I'd like to see us adjust as we go

[35:41] along thank you anybody else

[35:45] so our Land Development code is

[35:47] something that we've we've actually

[35:49] needed to uh revise for some time now um

[35:53] I go back the past five years and have

[35:55] discussions with uh city manager

[35:58] assistant city manager about Land

[36:00] Development and our code and and the

[36:01] different things that the challenges

[36:03] that we face as we kept moving forward

[36:05] and as we kept growing at some point we

[36:07] had to figure out there has to be a

[36:09] pause you got to pause somewhere because

[36:12] when you you had so many different uh

[36:14] moving parts to what needs to be done

[36:16] and to home them all together it it's

[36:18] kind of hard to continue to grow and

[36:21] keep moving and bring everything in

[36:22] together one time and pause for a second

[36:25] to look at this code and Let's do let's

[36:27] make some the proper adjustments to it

[36:30] so uh I I do support this

[36:34] because I look at from a different

[36:36] perspective we're we're we're we're

[36:38] growing by Leaps and Bounds one of the

[36:41] issues that that a lot of us that live

[36:43] in this city that that we run into is

[36:45] issues of our infrastructure and our

[36:47] traffic this may give us an opportunity

[36:49] to continue with those those projects

[36:52] that will allow us to address

[36:53] infrastructure while we slow down uh um

[36:56] our building so folks can get in and out

[36:59] of the city again we do live in that dut

[37:01] hole and uh we have so many uh thars

[37:03] through our city and I think this is a

[37:05] great opportunity for us to uh to step

[37:08] back and say hey let's focus on uh some

[37:11] of these Street repairs we need and how

[37:13] to get people in and out of uh our city

[37:15] uh

[37:18] adequately our staff does a magnificent

[37:21] job in the planning and development and

[37:25] all the things that are involved in that

[37:28] and if they're asking for a little

[37:30] support right now a little pause to give

[37:33] them uh a chance to catch up and get

[37:36] ahead of the uh curve I'm all for that I

[37:40] support the staff and their

[37:42] recommendations and I think this

[37:44] moratorium is uh more than necessary to

[37:47] give them that

[37:50] break well I I'm also going to vote for

[37:53] it but I will tell you some of the

[37:55] problems is when in other projects that

[37:57] was just was on the agenda I think at

[38:00] the plan zon and maybe it was one of the

[38:02] ones got pulled or not is I have

[38:04] probably got a maybe 100 emails

[38:08] pertaining to uh the um other project we

[38:12] were talking about the and what some of

[38:15] the stuff they said in that in in those

[38:17] emails kind of irks me but I get irked

[38:20] about other things but they they made

[38:23] comments to me and and I'm glad they

[38:25] send send letter but please

[38:27] when you when you want to answer things

[38:29] and ask things ask it in a general

[38:31] little Kinder way it's like we're I hate

[38:34] to say this word but it was kind of like

[38:36] saying we didn't know what we were doing

[38:37] maybe some people think that but when the when the developer comes in

[38:42] here and our code says that we got to

[38:44] look at it we got to we got to look at

[38:46] it when they bring it here so understand

[38:48] that don't sitting there telling me on a

[38:50] on an email that I don't you know I

[38:52] don't care about what ooy is somebody's

[38:53] crazy I've been living here all my life

[38:55] I know what I want to see and we've

[38:57] tried to to do that in the last 5 years

[38:59] seven or eight years we're trying to

[39:00] move it in the right direction but when

[39:02] you send those emails

[39:04] out that's not a good thing to me it's a

[39:07] good thing to send an email out and ask

[39:09] us to look at it and that's what we're

[39:10] trying to do tonight but when you send

[39:13] those emails out sarcastically saying

[39:15] that about what we're doing here come up

[39:17] here and sit down and see what the state

[39:19] law says or what the the things tell you can do and you can't do you can't

[39:23] just say no we're not going to listen to

[39:25] you but we can turn you down then then

[39:27] we take the risk of getting sued but

[39:30] that's part of what our job is so that's

[39:32] why I'm telling you I I don't have a

[39:34] problem I think I had a couple hundred a

[39:36] week or two before that for something

[39:37] else and you're talking about those 3

[39:39] 400 people up there tell them whoever

[39:41] writes that letter for them because they

[39:42] all send the same letter whoever wrote

[39:45] the letter I don't so who it is but they

[39:48] wrote the same thing not to me if I'm

[39:52] going to write a complaint I'm going to do my complaint I

[39:55] don't want somebody else writing my

[39:57] complaint BL for me so just to let you

[39:59] know we want to do what's right for our

[40:02] city and our citizens and that's why

[40:04] we're doing a more Tor I understand you

[40:06] in business and that's I don't blame you

[40:09] but we want to make it where there is

[40:10] the right things to come here because we

[40:12] still have a few places we want to see

[40:15] built on and in the right thing for the

[40:18] citizens to have and then like I said

[40:20] it's just to me the sarcastic part of

[40:23] sending that don't help it out you could

[40:25] also Drive somebody away from doing what

[40:26] they want to do do I wouldn't do that

[40:28] but that's some people would so that's

[40:31] what I'm saying this more torm is going

[40:32] to be to make a benefit for the city of

[40:34] ooy Mayor if I might we do currently

[40:37] have about 25 projects still active we

[40:41] are going to be bringing projects to the

[40:43] Planning and Zoning commission and the

[40:45] city commission so this is not for six

[40:47] months you don't need to watch the city

[40:48] agendas because nothing's happening this

[40:50] is just a way to let the development

[40:52] Community know they need to be on the

[40:54] lookout for upgraded standards and we

[40:56] can start discussing projects as we

[40:59] start formulating these standards and

[41:01] get them teed up and they'll understand

[41:03] what they're going to be required to

[41:05] meet with regards to architectural and

[41:07] site placing site permitting after March

[41:10] but we're going to still be bringing a

[41:12] lot of projects to you uh from we have

[41:16] medical office we have four residential

[41:18] communities industrial we have a

[41:20] downtown uh uh office we we've got a lot

[45:19] please remember that and also I also

[45:21] want to make sure you mark your calendar

[45:23] for the Jolly jamere which um I think

[45:26] we've all looked at the calendars and

[45:28] there's only three weeks between

[45:29] Thanksgiving and the 25th of December so

[45:33] it will be a quick month and it will be

[45:36] on downtown from 3: to 8 on the 14th of

[45:40] December so please mark your calendars

[45:42] because we'd love to see you I want just

[45:43] want to say also I appreciate when

[45:45] residents come out and comment I think

[45:47] it's so important for us to hear because

[45:49] sometimes I don't know if you realize

[45:51] but we come may have we he we spoke to

[45:54] different people and they give us their

[45:55] opinion but sometimes you sit here and

[45:57] someone says something and you all of a

[45:59] sudden change your opinion and so I

[46:01] think it's so important that our

[46:03] residents do come out and tell us their

[46:04] concerns and how they feel because this

[46:06] is your community it's not just our

[46:08] community but we may be here making

[46:10] decisions and we may make decisions but

[46:12] they affect everyone I'm District Two

[46:15] but whatever decision I make affects the

[46:16] whole city and I think it's very

[46:18] important so I want you to know that

[46:20] whether we agree or disagree I'm using

[46:27] thank you Mr Hart whether we agree or

[46:29] disagree I think it's so important to

[46:30] hear what you have to say so thank you

[46:33] and habitat I'm looking forward to um

[46:36] seeing some improvements in some of our

[46:38] homes we know that as you said senior

[46:40] citizens and other one other folks maybe

[46:42] can't do what you can do and so we

[46:45] appreciate your volun the the volunteers

[46:47] that will improve because we all want to

[46:49] live next door to a house that maybe

[46:51] that needs help but maybe this is the

[46:53] opportunity for someone where they can

[46:55] reach out and actually get the help and

[46:57] it's hard to ask some folks have a hard

[47:00] time asking so thank you so much and

[47:04] that's it did I you anymore oh I'll tell

[47:08] you about that another Mee can I still

[47:10] continue to you you didn't IR me it was

[47:11] the letters I got wow that's okay I love

[47:14] and you're right I don't have a problem

[47:16] getting I listen I get a ton you like to

[47:19] see my phone sometimes no it's okay I

[47:20] get a ton ton of messages and I don't

[47:23] have a problem and I try to answer

[47:24] everybody now I didn't answer all 400 of

[47:27] I did couple back to some of them

[47:28] because it was the same story same

[47:31] message same thing but all I'm saying is

[47:33] look into what what we're doing look at

[47:35] why there is reasons why we do what we

[47:37] do with the with doing those you know

[47:41] developments uh commissioner Kennedy

[47:45] thank

[47:47] you um it's a good

[47:50] point um many

[47:53] times someone a developer someone

[47:56] submits some something and it goes by

[47:58] process to the pnz or it comes to the

[48:01] commission and we get those letters and

[48:03] they say before we've discussed or

[48:05] expressed our intent to vote how come

[48:08] you're supporting X and we aren't in

[48:12] support yet of X and probably will vote

[48:15] against X um and I get probably my

[48:19] district has a lot of the growth and I

[48:22] get a lot of those letters and

[48:23] frequently they do say you know insert

[48:25] your commissioner's name here here

[48:28] um but

[48:30] consistent in the tone and in all of the

[48:34] emails is who are you

[48:38] for whose priorities are

[48:41] first whose interests are you after is

[48:45] it people and businesses that are based

[48:48] in okoi and in Orange County or is it

[48:52] large

[48:53] conglomerate from out of state National apartment Builders commercial

[48:59] property owners rental companies versus

[49:03] homeowners and that's a good

[49:05] question and um I just want to reiterate

[49:09] that this moratorium This Land

[49:11] Development code rewrite has been long

[49:15] overdue um as other things and this is

[49:19] your commission this is your

[49:22] commissioner drawing a line in the sand

[49:25] that we support the resident

[49:27] we support the businesses and the

[49:29] business owners that are here that are

[49:32] based in OT frequently you've seen me

[49:34] I've asked someone comes up with an

[49:36] issue and ALS ask is your business based

[49:39] in okoi and I've been criticized for

[49:41] that um but I think we owe our loyalty

[49:45] to the residents and the people that

[49:47] voted to put us here and the people who

[49:49] pay the taxes here and I'm proud of that

[49:52] and I'll defend that that's my only

[49:54] comment thanks sir

[49:57] um couple things Craig I wanted to ask

[49:59] you about um I had some questions about

[50:02] and I sewer the hookup for SE that we're

[50:07] uh talked about I have somebody asking

[50:10] about that that and wants to add get on

[50:13] to the Sewer so did we come up with a

[50:17] way of doing the pr of because they're in the process now doing that so

[50:24] we have several excuse me may we have

[50:27] several things at play right now we have

[50:29] looked at it and are in the process of

[50:31] scheduling briefings with you oneon-one

[50:33] to lay that out for how an assessment

[50:37] program would work for that we also have

[50:40] a Grant application um

[50:42] underway and I don't want to get

[50:45] anybody's hopes up but we hope to be

[50:47] able to get some Grant funds to help

[50:50] with uh some of the expenses of people

[50:53] having to hook up um I am planning to

[50:56] have have a uh briefing before you at a

[51:00] future Commission meeting about that but

[51:03] we will be scheduling individual

[51:05] meetings um a couple of you have been

[51:06] briefed already and um we we have we

[51:10] have a plan and um we're hoping to hear

[51:13] from this grant sooner than later I'd

[51:15] hope to be able to uh speak to you about

[51:18] that because um you know the the capital

[51:21] charges are something that you know

[51:22] still looms large with regard to the the

[51:25] connections

[51:27] themselves so yes we have a plan um who

[51:31] do they need to go talk to well you

[51:34] don't have an assessment program in

[51:36] place right now I know that so if they

[51:38] come and talk to us we're going to have

[51:39] to tell them here's how much it's going

[51:40] to cost what cost are going to be but

[51:43] once again this has been going on two

[51:45] months two months we've asked about this

[51:48] with we've met twice I've met with

[51:50] citizens with with the city about this

[51:53] problem now if if they got to sit there

[51:57] and wait cuz they got a septic tank

[51:59] that's bad they would we want to put

[52:00] them on sewer and they're downtown how

[52:03] do we do not not the downtown part here

[52:05] but I mean over here is residential so

[52:07] why there's got to be a way we can do

[52:10] that I and I know you're you you just

[52:13] took over but I'm still saying these

[52:16] people have got a problem they going to

[52:17] have to spend now I know where they put

[52:20] us SE T in here year ago matter of fact

[52:25] $18,000 $18,000 now I know $7,000 is a

[52:29] lot less but it also helps us do what

[52:31] we're trying to do is get away from the

[52:33] safy tanks but there's got to be a way

[52:37] we can we can figure that out other

[52:38] cities do it I know I'm just saying

[52:41] there you can't maybe we can work with

[52:43] them and sign some kind of contract that

[52:45] we can hook them up and then we either

[52:47] what if we come up with that we do that

[52:48] if we don't we don't I'm just I I'm I

[52:52] know $7,000 a lot of money put some of

[52:54] these people living in these houses to

[52:56] put out it really is 18,000 is way a lot

[53:00] um I I would be happy to have this

[53:03] person meet with our staff go over it um

[53:06] that's why I'm ask you who did they go

[53:07] meet with um Mr rumor and Miss bowling

[53:11] okay okay that's all right um got that

[53:14] just real quick on that you wouldn't

[53:17] have had time to get the assessment on

[53:19] the tax roll this year when it had been

[53:21] brought up so um we're working

[53:24] feverishly to try to find other ways to

[53:26] help mitigate their cost because the an

[53:29] assessment program is not going to get

[53:30] on the tax roll next year if you I know

[53:34] the assessment deal was but why would

[53:36] you not be able to run through the

[53:38] city that's up to the city

[53:41] commission direct us to do that there's

[53:43] other ways to go around

[53:45] that absolutely the commission could actually direct us to do that yeah

[53:51] that's what I've said we might do that I just think it's I know there's some

[53:55] places in the old part of town that is

[53:57] going to be affected with this and there

[54:00] the the bad part of it is not bad part

[54:03] it's near the

[54:04] lake it's at with a block off the lake

[54:07] and half a block off the lake and that's

[54:09] one of the major errors that I'm talking

[54:11] about that they trying to hook up the

[54:14] sewer we actually

[54:16] we I I wish we'd had an opportunity to

[54:19] talk about this before because um I

[54:22] actually had a conversation yesterday

[54:23] with one of our Consultants who is

[54:26] actually trying to get us funds from a

[54:27] county program that the Orange County

[54:30] epd has a grant program in addition to

[54:32] the Florida Department of Environmental

[54:34] Protection Program with specific regard

[54:37] to uh Lakeshore Drive and Stark Lake and

[54:40] getting those people off septic and on

[54:42] sewer um so I just wanted to make make

[54:44] sure everyone understood we are actively

[54:46] working on that yes I I just wanted I've

[54:49] been asked um I probably would have got

[54:52] with you earlier but you know Gators are
