Postal.

Here.

You have a corn mail.

Thank you very much.

Um, I think we'll go um right on in to um the first agenda item.

Yes, good afternoon, everyone.

I'm Melissa Linehard, Planning Commission staff.

I'll be introducing each item for item A one.

Uh, we have Miss Andrea Papandrew presenting.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, Commissioners.

Andrea Pap and Drew, Planning Commission staff.

You permit me one moment, I'm gonna share my screen.

Yes.

Thank you.

Uh Andrea Papenju Planning Commission staff.

This is HC CPA twenty six-01.

One five seven two eight through one five eight oh six Westlake Drive.

This is a publicly initiated map amendment.

It is a small scale, um, approximately fifteen point zero four acres.

The request is to go from the Wamama Village Residential 2 and Residential 4 categories to the residential 4 future land use category.

In 2025, the Board of County Commissioners expand urban service area and changed all of the rule WBR2 future land use category in Wamama to residential four, natural preservation residential one.

For this amendment, these split parcels are within the urban service area that were not subject to previous board direction.

Staff have identified these three parcels as the last properties with a WVR2 future land use category in Hillsborough County and are recommending a change to residential four to provide greater consistency previous board direction.

The site is in the southern portion of the county, is within the urban service area and the Wama Village Community Plan and the South Shore Area Wide Systems Community Plan.

This is an aerial of the subject site.

The site is east of Westlake Drive.

Northwest is 19th Avenue Northeast.

Further west is a U.S.

Highway 301 South.

The site is composed of three parcels.

The northernmost parcel is vacant, and the other two are single family detached.

Surrounding the site is a mixture of agricultural land, single family residential, HOA common property, and vacant land.

Further north, west, east, and south are public quasi public institutional uses.

And to the east is the bombroad scrub and land owned by the Bullfrog Creek Mitigation Bank.

A more zoomed-out aerial map is included within your patents.

The three properties have an adopted future land use, a Wamama Village Residential 2 and Residential 4.

Surrounding the site and all sides is the residential four feature land use category.

Property to the east and further south and north of the site was changed to residential four by the board last year.

Further south is the natural preservation category.

So the proposals to move to the residential four feature land use category.

The existing categories would allow approximately up to 43 units and up to 163,785 square feet.

However, the site currently is not within the OMAMA downtown East District, where commercial office and industrial uses may be considered.

Since these are the last WBR2 parcels in the county, if this amendment is adopted, there will be a future public amendment to remove the WBR2 language in the conference of plan.

That concludes my presentation.

I'm available for any questions.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Do we have anybody that has any questions on this one?

Seeing none.

I just wanted to say, I think you answered my question at the very end of your presentation.

The three parcels to the bottom we did recently, right?

So those were recently done and those were privately initiated.

Is that correct?

To the very south of the site.

Well, it looks south on yeah.

Ummissioner Miller, if I may.

Yes, sir.

I believe you're referring to the other ones that are much further south.

That's the ones that we recently uh nicked.

The one near here we recently did was the uh Aston uh farms ranch.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

So just to clarify, when this comes, you you said that you would bring forth to get rid of the WBR2.

Is that correct?

So these are the last parcels in the county that have WVR2.

So if this amendment's adopted and that category is changed to res four, then there would be no more of that WVR2 category on the map.

So the next uh step would be to look at a future public amendment to remove the WBR2 language from the comprehensive plan if the category is no longer on the future land use map.

Thank you.

Thank you for that.

If there's no other questions, we can move on to the next item.

Commissioners, items A2 and A3, um, which is HCCPA 2602 and 2603.

The applicant has continued these items to the April cycle of plan amendments.

Um, so you will see them in the future, but we will not um present them today.

So that brings us to item A4, which will be presented by Erica Larson.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, Commissioners.

Erica Larson, Planning Commission staff.

You'll permit me a moment to I'm gonna share my screen.

Erica, go ahead and go to display settings at the top.

Okay.

Hit that button for me real quick.

And go to let's see, it's either swap presenter or duplicate side slideshow.

There you go.

Now you're full screen.

Okay.

Um I'm here to present HCCPA26-04, uh located at Bird Island and Sunken Island.

Um get rid of this.

Um this is a privately initiated map amendment that is small in scale and approximately 49.72 acres.

The applicant is requesting that change to change the feature land use designation from not classified to natural preservation.

This is the journal location map.

This is the site is in the rural area and within the limits of the Gibson community plan.

Uh this amendment is located in the southwestern Hillsborough County region, west of the Ala Faya River and southwest of the Mosaic Fertilizer Plant.

Here's an area of the site.

The site is outlined in pink and the blue line indicates urban service area boundary.

The site contains significant bird wildlife habitat, is located within the coastal high hazard area and is also in the FEMA flood zone VE.

Currently, the existing future land use designation is not classified for these two islands.

Heavy industrial is to the northeast and residential one uses are to the east.

The applicant is proposing to amend the future land use category to natural preservation.

This amendment establishes a natural preservation feature land use designation for bird and sunken islands where no future land use currently exists, thereby formalizing long-term environmental protection.

Next to the impacts, no residential development is permitted except for facilities determined necessary to serve a caretaker of the recreational slash environmental property or for compatible recreational slash educational development.

The proposed amendment will allow for a clarification and development potential by allowing the designation of the site as natural preservation, limiting uses to conservation, open space, and passive nature parks.

Thank you.

Thank you, Erica.

Any questions?

I do.

I've got a question.

Coming up.

Where is this in relation to for those of us that went through it?

The beer can island.

Just thinking of the name.

Is this close to that?

I don't believe so, but I can double check and confirm with you.

I'm just asking because I just don't know what the implications are of us expanding the urban service area over an island.

And if in any way, I understand that this one's natural preservation.

But I don't want it to imply that we're willing to expand urban services like fire rescue, et cetera.

For any of these sunken islands out here that we don't know about, and it start something, you know.

Yeah, that's a good question.

Yes, if I may, um, Commissioner, we can um dive a little bit deeper into that during um the public hearing and the in the PowerPoint.

We can do a little bit more research for you and bring that back to you when when you see it.

Okay.

All right.

Good questions.

Thank you.

Yes, an excellent, excellent point, actually.

I wasn't here when you all were managing that, but I heard all about it.

And I believe that it's to the north, but I'd have to actually expand the map to see where these are to do it.

But I was trying to remember when I was out there on my boat tour.

Commissioner Bowles.

Yeah.

Um if I recall, this is uh also an island that's it has like a lot of barriers out there with EPC takes you out in the bay.

Uh one of their launches is there in the Gibson area.

I think that's not too far away from where that is.

Uh, but does uh who who initiated this?

You said the applicant, who's the applicant in this?

I did I miss that.

It's it was initiated by Mosaic.

Oh, is okay, so is Mosaic because that because they control I say they control, they have control of those islands right now.

I know that they they have them kind of set aside for um they have like all these wave mitigation uh barriers up there to keep it protected, they have a lot of birds.

Um I've seen on those islands as well when I've been out in the bay.

Um, but I I just uh was just curious about that.

So thank you.

Welcome.

Any other questions, Commissioner?

Um seeing the next item, please.

Yes, uh the next item is 2605, and the presenter is Lily Lennihan.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Can everyone see my screen?

Yes.

Okay, perfect.

Give me one moment.

Just need to.

All right.

Good afternoon, Commissioners.

Lillian Lennihan, Planning Commission staff.

I'm here to present HCCPA 2605, located at 1830 Dorman Road.

This is a privately initiated map amendment that is large in scale and approximately 190 acres.

The applicant is requesting to expand the urban service area.

The amendment is associated with HCCPA 2606, which is a request to change the future land use designation from agricultural rule one to five to residential two.

This is the general location map.

This application, as previously mentioned, is associated with HCCPA 2606.

It is in the rural area within the limits of the South Shore Area Wide Systems Plan, and it is located north of Dorman Road, east of Boyot Road, and south of Lithia Pinecrest Road.

Here's an aerial of the site.

The site is outlined in pink in the blue line indicates the urban service area boundary.

Um the predominant land use in the area is single family residential.

This concludes my presentation for HCCPA 2605, and I'm happy to answer any questions.

Thank you.

Um any questions.

I would just like to make a comment um and encourage all of my fellow commissioners to this piece.

This item is timely after the receipt of the letter from the chair of the planning commission uh this morning.

It's a good read, and um it's probably something that we need to take up.

I'm gonna be figuring out how to make sure we bring it up as an item, but um the hot spotting of the expansion of the urban service area.

Um in relation to the old legacy way that's that's there and basically not even functioning um as it as it was intended to be anymore.

It's probably a good time for us to look at these that keep coming, figure out why and figure out a way to do proper planning moving forward.

But um, I know that Dorman Road is uh is a really tough spot.

Um I haven't had the opportunity to to dig into any of these items yet, but I know that I'm gonna be taking a good look at this one.

It's uh it's an incredibly tiny road, so I'll yield, Miss Sarah.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Anyone else?

I don't see anyone.

Uh next item, please.

Okay, the next item goes right into the same site um and the same presenter.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, commissioners.

Lillian Lennihan, Planning Commission staff, and I'm here to present HCCPA 2606, located at 1830 Gwen Moon Road.

This is a privately initiated map amendment that is large at scale and approximately 190 acres.

The applicant is requesting to change the future land use from agricultural rule one to five to residential two.

This is the general location map.

This is associated with HCCPA 2605.

It is in the rural area within the limits of the South Shore Area Wide Systems Plan and is located north of Dorman Road, East of Boyet Road, and South of Lithia Pinecrass Road.

Again, here's an area of the site.

The site is outlined in pink in the blue line indicates the urban service area boundary.

Currently, the future land use designation is agricultural rule one to five.

This category allows for one dwelling unit for five gross acres and a maximum floor area ratio of 0.25.

This designation allows for the consideration of farms, ranches, feedlots, residential, neighborhood commercial offices, industrial uses related to agricultural uses and mining related activities.

Other future land use categories shown in this map include residential one, residential plan two, residential two, and natural preservation.

The applicant is proposing to amend the future land use category to residential two.

Residential two category allows for two dwelling units per gross acre and a maximum floor area ratio of 0.25.

This designation allows for the consideration of agricultural, residential, neighborhood commercial office uses and multi-purpose projects.

Currently, under the agricultural rule one to five designation, the site could consider up to 38 dwelling units or approximately 2 million square feet of non-residential uses.

And under the proposed future land use designation of residential two, the site could consider up to 380 dwelling units or approximately 2 million square feet of non-residential uses.

Proposed amendment will increase the maximum potential residential density and will not change the maximum potential uh non-residential intensity.

This concludes my presentation for HCCPA 2606.

I'm happy to answer any questions.

Thank you.

Any questions?

Next item, please.

Yes, the next item is item A7, which will be presented by Alexis Myers.

Alexis, are you able to share your screen or do you need HTV?

Um I can share the screen.

Okay, great.

Thanks.

Okay, um, good afternoon, Commissioners.

Alexis Myers Planning Commission staff.

I'm here to present HCCPA 2607, located northwest of Hill Tower Avenue and George Road.

This is a privately initiated map amendment that is small on scale and approximately 6.7 acres.

The applicant is requesting to change the future land use designation from residential six and office commercial 20 to light industrial planned.

This is the general location map.

It is in the urban service area within the limits of the town and country community plan.

It is located north of Hillsborough Avenue and west of George Road.

Here is the area of the site.

The site is outlined in pink.

Vacant land is currently on the subject site.

This property is located in the evacuation zone A, FEMA flood zone AE, and close to Ohio Hazard area.

Light commercial uses are located south, west, and east across George Road.

Industrial uses are also to the east across George Road and west along Killsboro Avenue.

Public Quasi Public Institutional and Single Family Uses are to the north and west.

Currently, the future land use designation is residential six and off of commercial 20.

The res six category allows six dwelling units per gross acre and a maximum floor area ratio of 0.25.

The designation allows for the consideration of agricultural, residential, neighborhood commercial, office uses, multi-purpose projects, and mixed use development.

The OC20 category allows 20 dwelling units per gross acre and a maximum floor area ratio of 0.75.

This designation allows for the consideration of agricultural community commercial uh type uses, office uses, mixed use developments, and compatible residential uses.

Other future land use categories shown in this map include urban mixed use 20 and community mixed use 12 to the east and residential 20 further southwest.

The Apple can't reposing to amend the future land use category to light industrial planned.

The LIP category allows a maximum floor area ratio of 0.75.

Residential is not allowed in this category except limited accessory residential, for example, on site security guards.

This designation allows for the consideration of agricultural light industrial uses such as processing, manufacturing, recycling, and storage of materials as a predominant uses, including support offices, where housing and retail uses.

Next are the impacts as far as existing conditions.

Currently under res 6 and OC20, the site could consider up to 28 dwelling units or 51,945 square feet of non-residential uses.

Under the proposed LIP designation, the site could consider 155,835 square feet of non-residential uses.

The proposed amendment will eliminate any potential residential density, allow greater commercial intensity, and introduce light industrial uses.

And this concludes my presentation for ATCPA 2607.

I'm happy to answer any questions.

Thank you, Alexis.

Any questions, Commissioner?

Next item, please.

Yes.

That brings us to item A8, which is also presented by Alexis Myers.

Yes.

Good afternoon, Commissioners.

Pull up the PowerPoint.

Good afternoon, Commissioners.

I'm here to present HC CPA.

Sorry.

Here to present HC CPA 2608, located at um 10051 to 10057 East Fowler Avenue and 10220 Harney Road.

This is a privately initiated map amendment that is small in scale and approximately 1.28 acres.

The applicant is requesting the change of feature land use category from residential forward to light industrial plan.

This is the general location map.

The site is in the rural area within the limits of the Tonoda Sassa community plan.

It is located north of Harney Road and south of East Fowler Avenue.

Here is the area of the site.

The site is on land in pink.

Light industrial, single family, and vacant land is currently located on the subject property.

The site is in the FEMA flood zone AE.

Single family uses are immediately west, north across East Fowler Avenue, and south across Harney Road.

Heavy and light commercial uses are located east to the and to the north.

Agriculture is to the south and east across Harney Road.

Currently, the future land use designation is residential four.

The res four category allows for dwelling units per gross acre and a maximum floor area ratio of 0.25.

This designation allows for the consideration of agricultural, residential, neighborhood commercial, office uses, and multi-purpose projects.

Other feature land use categories shown in this map includes the Burman Mix Use 6 to the north and residential one and agricultural state one to 2.5 to the east.

The applicant is proposed to amend the future land use category to light industrial planned.

The LIP category allows a maximum floor area ratio of 0.75.

Residential is not allowed in this category, except limited accessory residential, for example, on-site security guards.

This designation allows for the consideration of agricultural, light industrial uses, such as processing, manufacturing, recycling, and storage of materials as a predominant uses, including support offices, warehousing, and retail uses.

Next are the impacts as far as existing conditions.

Currently under res four, the site could consider up to five dwelling units or 13,939 square feet of non-residential uses.

Under the proposed LIP designation, the site could consider 41,817 square feet of non-residential uses.

Proposed amendment will eliminate any potential residential density, allow greater commercial intensity, and introduce light industrial uses.

And this concludes my presentation for ACCPA 2608.

I'm happy to answer any question.

Thank you, Alexis.

Any questions, Commissioners?

I do, Madam Vice Chair.

Could could you go back, Mrs.

Myers, to what's currently there just because it's in a sea of yellow?

Yes.

Um go back to the adopted.

So or actually I'll go back to the aerial.

Yes.

So the site has light industrial, um, single family and vacant land on the property.

And then um to this their single family um immediately west and then uh uh to the north across East Fowler Avenue, and as well as to the south across Horney Road.

Um, and then there's a gas station um right to the east of the property.

And then there's aquaculture to the south and to the north as well.

Okay, okay, very helpful.

Thank you.

Yeah, no problem.

Any other questions, commissioners?

Next item, please.

That brings us to item A9, which will be presented by Tyreek Royal.

Hello, good afternoon, Commissioners and Stark Royal Planning Commission staff.

And uh today I'll begin presenting HCCPA 2609 located southwest of State Road 60 and Turkey Cuba Road.

This request is primarily the Michigan's large scale map amendment, approximately 483 acres.

The request is to change the land use designation from energy innovation park to light industrial plan.

Location of the site is in the eastern portion of Hillsburg County as part of the January 2026 cycle within the urban service area, and it's not within the limits of the community plan.

Uh here you can see the area of the site.

It's outlined in pink, it's located south of State Road 60.

Um multiple uses, which include mobile home parks to the north.

We've got public quasi public uses to the east, and that's Midard Park, and agricultural use is also surround the site.

Um again, the sites in the energy innovation park, future land use category, which allows for the consideration for industrial manufacturing and processing, alternative renewable energy production, agricultural and residential uses within pocket E.

The applicants uh requesting the change land use category from EIP to LIP.

The LIP allows for consideration of agricultural white industrial uses, um, and includes processing, manufacturing, recycling, and storage and materials as the predominant uses, including support offices, warehousing, retail uses.

Um, onto the impacts, uh, the energy innovation part, future land use category and light use, light industrial plan uh category both allow for industrial and related employment uses.

Um, but they do both differ significantly in purpose.

Uh land use mix and regulatory structure.

The IPs, DEX and data is a renewable energy focused mixed use district, where alternative energy production and research are the central components, which must be developed first or concurrently with other uses.

Requires that at least 20% of the gross land area be dedicated to energy related uses that includes renewable technologies such as solar, wind, biomass, or what's the energy, and that mandates the construction of renewable energy producing facilities with specified product uh outputs along with enhanced buffering requirement to connect to sewer water and open space requirement of 15% of the total area.

While the EIP allows for industrial manufacturing rural housing uses, these are all limited to the gross land area, and also permits residential pocket E, retail commercial offices, agricultural research, and institutional uses within to five limits to support a mixed use innovative environment.

In contrast, the LIP category is a traditional industrial land use examination, and that's intended primarily for processing, manufacturing, recycling, storage, railhousing, and related support offices or a limit to uh limited retail uses.

The LIP does not require new renewable energy production, it does not include a structured mix of residential or research uses and does not impose specific land use allocation percentages tied to energy production.

Overall, EIP functions as a specialized energy innovation and mixed use district, whereas LIP serves as a conventional light industrial area focused on employment generated industrial activities.

And that concludes my presentation.

I'm here for any uh questions yet.

Thank you.

Thank you, Tyree.

Uh, any questions, commissioners?

Yeah, sorry to keep having all the questions, but is this uh removal for EIP over the whole 3,000 acres, or is an east-west situation?

Sorry if I missed that.

No, you're fine.

Yeah, so it's just a portion of the site, it's uh about 483 acres.

So you can see here is an existing EIP.

We've got more EIP to the south, uh to the west, and a small portion here to the east of the site.

So this is the northeast portion of the EIP.

Northeast portion, okay.

The full map like this in relation to the area.

I don't know if you saw me pick up my phone.

That's what I was looking at.

I was gonna try to see like this the subdivision that was just approved.

Is that to the south and west?

Yeah, so the the sub division is within pocket E south of the site and south of the CI sex railroad track.

So that's not uh depicted here in the aerial.

Uh this is large site, so um and madam vice chair.

If I may add, there were also um uh there were also two plan amendments to the south of EIP, like outside of those current limits um recently as well.

Um, and we can we can um provide a larger aerial and adopted future land use map for you all um when we present to you at the public hearing if that would be helpful to see you know the whole site.

It would definitely be helpful.

It appears to me, Commissioner Wessel that this is the east portion of the EIP.

Yeah, yeah.

Uh who would be the applicant?

Yeah, so it's privately initiated.

So um the EIP has a variety of applicants, and this is just one of the applicants that are trying to remove themselves from EIP.

But the particular applicant is CAMI Corbett, yes, Tyree.

That's sorry about that.

Okay.

Any other questions, Commissioner?

Thank you.

Next item.

Yes, the next item we have is item A10, and the presenter is Lily.

Good afternoon, Commissioners.

Lillian Lenahan, Planning Commission staff here to present HC CPA 2610, located southeast of Kingsway Road and Tanutaso Road.

This is a privately initiated map amendment that is small in scale and approximately 24.22 acres.

The applicant is requesting to change the future land use from agricultural rule one to five and residential one to residential two.

This is the general location map.

It is in the rural area within the limits of the Tenotas Community Plan.

It is located along Lake Taneda Sassa and is south of Taneda Sassa Road and east of North Kingsway Road.

There is an arrow of the site.

The site is outlined in pink.

The site is currently undeveloped and is surrounded by agricultural and civil family land uses.

Currently, the future land use designation is agricultural rule one to five and residential one.

The agricultural rule one to five category allows for one dwelling unit per gross acre and a maximum floor error ratio of 0.25.

This designation allows for the consideration of farms, ranches, feedlots, residential, neighborhood, commercial offices, industrial uses related to agricultural uses and mining related activities.

The residential one category allows one dwelling unit per gross acre and a maximum floor area ratio of 0.25.

This designation allows for the consideration of agricultural farms, branches, residential neighborhood, commercial offices, and multi-purpose projects.

The site is currently surrounded by the agricultural rule one to five and residential one future land use designations.

The applicant is proposing to amend the future land use category to residential two.

The residential two category allows for two dwelling units per gross acre and a maximum flower area ratio of 0.25.

This designation allows for the consideration of agricultural, residential, neighborhood, commercial office uses and multipurpose projects.

Currently, under the agricultural rule one to five and residential one designations, the site could center up to 16 dwelling units or 263,755 square feet of non-residential uses.

And under the proposed future land use designation of residential two, the site could consider up to 48 dwelling units or 263,755 square feet of non-residential uses.

Proposed amendment will increase the maximum potential residential density and will not change the maximum potential non-residential intensity.

This concludes my presentation for HCCPA 2610.

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

Any questions, Commissioner?

I would just say to my fellow commissioners that that's a tough road.

So it has a lot of history going on with it.

So I look forward to reading more about the item.

Anyone else?

Yes, ma'am.

Last item is HCCPA 26-11, which will be presented by Katrina Corcoran.

Good afternoon, Commissioners.

Please give me one moment while I share my screen.

And I would just like to confirm that everyone can see the full size presentation.

Yes.

Wonderful.

Thank you.

Again, Katrina Corker and Planning Commission staff.

I'm here today to present HCCPA 2611.

This is a text amendment to the quarter preservation plan map.

Some background on this request.

This is a publicly initiated text amendment.

The applicant is Hillsborough County's Community and Infrastructure Planning Department or CIP.

Again, this is a text amendment that would be adding an interchange, which is the Fort Hamner Interchange to the adopted quarter preservation plan map.

I would also like to note that although this is a text amendment, this is a change only to a map, and there is no uh policy language associated with this amendment.

Uh this interchange is also a potential connection to proposed Fort Hamner Road, uh, which I'll have more information on later in the slides.

So starting off with some background on this amendment, we have the mobility sections uh map series, which includes map one, which is the adopted quarter preservation plan map that you see here on the slide.

Like to give some background information on the quarter preservation plan.

It is utilized to protect future right-of-way from encroachment, provide connectivity, and ensure transportation corridors are adequate to serve plan growth and development patterns as defined in the future land use section.

The map identifies the number of additional lanes needed on existing corridors or for new roadway connections.

It also shows intersections and interchanges identified for either grade separation or reconfiguration.

In coordination with the land development code or LDC, the quarter preservation plan map is utilized to establish setbacks for development and provide clarity about development potential within future right-of-way.

In terms of the LDC, this map is utilized to enforce section 5.11 on transportation corridor management, particularly sections 5.11.05 on consistency with the transportation plan and protection from encroachment and uh 5.11.09 in terms of interim use of reserved land.

This slide shows the applicant's proposed changes with the addition of the proposed Fort Hammer Road interchange, which you can see in the southernmost portion of Hillsborough County.

Again, this is a publicly initiated tax amendment that would be adding that interchange within the existing I-75 right-of-way to the Quarter Preservation Plan map.

This interchange is not currently constructed, and it is proposed in the area south of the Little Manatee River and north of the Manitee County line on I-75.

Adding this interchange to the Quarter Preservation Plan map will align the map with the transportation planning organization's Access 2050 long-range transportation plan or LRTP.

The proposed Fort Hamder Road interchange is listed in the LRTP as an unfunded need.

You can see that roadway in orange intersecting with the uh red circle that is the interchange.

The roadway is currently not constructed.

If that roadway sounds familiar, it is because it was a part of a separately privately initiated text amendment to the quarter preservation plan map that was adopted by this board in January.

Did want to note that the roadway is shown on my slides since it is now effective.

However, at the time of the packet that you all received, um it was not effective, so not shown in that packet.

This concludes my presentation.

Thank you, Katrina.

Any questions, commissioners?

I just have a quick statement.

Is that a long time ago?

There was a commissioner that convinced East Hillsboro to aggressively oppose the corridor preservation for a little road called Lithia Pinecrest.

And that commissioner was successful in that endeavor with the promise that if they oppose the corridor preservation, it would halt all development.

We know that that is opposite of the reality that exists today, and not making sure that we move forward with corridor preservations whenever they're opt for us.

The same thing happened on 301.

If you didn't know that for the Greater Northeast portion, that was offered up and it was not taken.

Um that wasn't to the county, that was to FDOT at the time.

But oftentimes, if you don't proceed with preserving these corridors, eventually it's going to bite you, and taking that opportunity when it's offered seems to be the way forward.

So thank you very much.

I would agree with those comments for certain.

But um, I'm very familiar with Rivia Pinecrest.

So any other questions or comments, Commissioners.

Anyone else?

With that, then we would be adjourned.

Thank you all very much.

Appreciate you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
