Adjourn Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting and Reconvene as City Council Regular City Council/BOA/CRA Meeting March 23, 2016 Page Six Mr. Hill said his first thought is to deny, but his second thought was whether they could have same shed at half the size, and if it would make a difference in the look of property. He said this is a unique situation where the applicant acquired something other than what they thought; the Board could consider this an extenuating circumstance and the approval could stay with this owner. MOTION by Chairman McPartlan and SECOND by Mr. Hill to grant the variance given the pictures of the property, letters were sent out and no one has complained, with the provision that the variance be for the shed only, receiving the building permits and making sure everything is up to code.

The Administrative Service Director said this report is required by the State showing activities that have occurred with the CRA funds. MOTION Mr. Hill and SECOND by Ms. Coy to accept and approve the report Damien Gilliams, 1623 U.S. Highway 1, cited the accomplishments and added up the incoming money which is close to $4'/2 - $5M dollars and said he wasn't impressed when he drove through the district and didn't see any redevelopment. He sees a slush fund for developers to get things done for their benefit; they need to plan out for 15 years and focus on palm trees, a clean river, and eliminating the electrical poles. Mayor McPartlan said the riverfront has changed for the better; he receives many compliments from residents and other cities. Ben Hocker said since this budget pertains to the Working Waterfront, he comes up with over $4M spent on one building and a commercial fishing dock. The City has gained a fish market with a good lease, a lawsuit with a restaurant and a fish packing house that turned out to be pole building. He said money is spent on the interior by purchasing a cooler and ice making machine for Crabby Bill's. He asked if a brief could be drawn up on the building's expenditures as he only has the use of the parking lot. The City Manager explained the City does have a liability as to the interior and repaired the walk-in cooler which is owned by the City. He said there are positive things happening at Crabby Bill's and hasn't heard or authorized it to be advertised as a restaurant. Ms. Coy confirmed she has visited in the last 30 days where she received awesome food by way of counter service. Roll Call: Ayes: Coy, Gillmor, Hill, McPartlan Nays: None Absent: Adams Passed: 4-0 D.

A. Approval of Minutes — February 24, 2016 Regular Meeting m, SEaAST" HOME OF PELICAN ISLAND COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TRANSMITTAL FORM CRA MEETING DATE: 22 June 2016 AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Re -appropriation of CRA Funds. RECOMMENDATION: Approve amending the FY 15/16 CRA Budget to appropriate project funds from Shoreline Stabilization to Landscape Enhancement of the Cav Corp and Overflow Parking. BACKGROUND: The CRA 15/16 budget holds $20,750 earmarked for Shoreline Stabilization at the Working Waterfront (WWF). However, this phase of WWF redevelopment has been postponed in consideration of a Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) proposal to install a seawall along the WWF property. Recently, Council approved the paving plan for the CavCorp lot. Landscaping for the CavCorp lot included maintaining some plant material around the Clock Tower and sodding the retention areas. Since CavCorp is a heavily -used area of the City, Staff believes enhancing the perimeter landscaping would add to the aesthetics of the Riverview Park Campus, reduce heat island effects from the parking lot pavement, and provide a more pedestrian -friendly area. Staff recommends re -appropriating the funds from the Shoreline Stabilization project to CavCorp Parking Lot landscaping. To keep costs at a minimum, Staff will design the landscape plan and, with the exception of any large tress, will install the irrigation, plant and landscape materials. Staff estimates all landscaping and irrigation costs will be under $15,000. The balance of funds will allow additional landscaping for the future development of the South Parking/Overflow Lot. If Agenda Item Requires Expenditure of Funds: N/A � / Administrative Services Department/CFO Review: 1 Attachments: CavCorp Grading and Draining Plan City Manager Authorization: Date: 14 June 2016
