       2             THE CHAIRMAN:  By your action, you have

 

       3        approved 2007-1011.

 

       4             I forgot to say this at the beginning.  The

 

       5        members that are here are Councilmember Webb,

 

       6        Councilmember Clark, I'm Chairman Michael

 

       7        Corrigan, Councilmember Clay Yarborough is our

 

       8        Vice Chairman, and Councilmember Shad is here.

 

       9             Councilmembers Jones and Lee both have an

 

      10        excusal for this evening.

 

      11             We do have a visiting councilmember,

 

      12        Councilmember Bill Bishop.  I think Mr. Bishop

 

      13        is here on an item that is on page 19, item

 

      14        number 73.

 

      15             Is that correct, Councilmember?

 

      16             MR. BISHOP:  Yes, that is.

 

      17             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  We will go ahead and

 

      18        take that up.  We've had a request for

 

      19        withdrawal from the Airport Administration -- or

 

      20        Airport Authority -- Aviation Authority, excuse

 

      21        me.

 

      22             MR. YARBOROUGH:  Move withdrawal.

 

      23             MR. CLARK:  Second.

       1             Seeing no discussion, Councilmember Bishop,

 

       2        do you have any input?

 

       3             MR. BISHOP:  Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

 

       4             I was just curious if anybody from the

 

       5        Airport Authority was here, they might sort of

 

       6        enlighten us as to why they want to do this.

 

       7        But seeing none, I guess not.

 

       8             So that's it.

 

       9             THE CHAIRMAN:  And I did have an e-mail

 

      10        from Mr. Michael Stewart from the Jacksonville

 

      11        Aviation Authority requesting withdrawal.

 

      12             Seeing no discussion, open the ballot and

      23        withdrawn 2008-249.

       2        now on page 6 of your agenda, top of the page,

       4             Seeing no speakers, we'll continue that

 

       5        public hearing with no further action.

 

       6             Item number 16 and 17, 2007-1051 and -1061,

 

       7        are both deferred.

 

       8             We are on the top of page 7, 2007-1085.

 

       9        We'll open that public hearing.

 

      10             Seeing no speakers, we'll continue that

 

      11        public hearing.

 

      12             Item 19, 2007-1086.  We'll open that public

 

      13        hearing.

 

      14             Seeing no speakers, we will continue that

 

      15        public hearing.

 

      16             Item 20, 2007-1121.  We'll open that public

 

      17        hearing.

 

      18             Seeing no speakers, we'll continue that

      20             Item number 21, 2007-1125.  We'll open that

 

      21        public hearing.

 

      22             Seeing no speakers, we're going to continue

 

      23        that public hearing.  We were going to move on

 

      24        it, but there's some issues still outstanding,

 

      25        so we're just going to continue that to the next

       2             We are on the top of page 8, 2007-1215.  We

 

       3        will open that public hearing.

 

       4             I have Mr. T.R. Hainline here to speak.

 

       5             (Mr. Hainline approaches the podium.)

 

       6             THE CHAIRMAN:  Good evening.

 

       7             MR. HAINLINE:  Good evening.

 

       8             T.R. Hainline, 1301 Riverplace Boulevard.

 

       9             This is the long pending Pine Grove

 

      10        Plantation development agreement, and y'all will

 

      11        recall that your staff recommended approval and

 

      12        the General Counsel's Office didn't have any

 

      13        problem.

 

      14             Mr. Harden, representing the landowner down

 

      15        the street, had some objections.  Part of his

 

      16        concerns came from a perspective relating to

 

      17        another proposed fair share contract which now

 

      18        has been introduced that, in part, has resolved

 

      19        his concerns.  He, as I understand it, is no

 

      20        longer opposed.  He's not here.

 

      21             So I'd be happy to answer any questions to

 

      22        this.  Again, your staff has recommended

 

      23        approval.

 

      24             And we also agreed in part, at the request

 

      25        of some of you, to an amendment which shortened

 

 

 

 

           Diane M. Tropia, P.O. Box 2375, Jacksonville, FL 32203


 

                                                           10

 

 

       1        the term of this to five years.  We also

 

       2        proposed a little more restrictive performance

 

       3        schedule.  We proposed those items.

 

       4        Mr. Reingold asked me before the hearing, are we

 

       5        still agreeable to those amendments.  We

 

       6        certainly are.

 

       7             And, with that, I would be happy to answer

 

       8        any questions.

 

       9             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Thank you,

 

      10        Mr. Hainline.

 

      11             We don't have any questions at this point.

 

      12        If you'll stick around for the amendment, I'd

 

      13        appreciate it.

 

      14             Seeing no other speakers, we'll close that

 

      15        public hearing.

 

      16             MR. CLARK:  Move the amendment.

 

      17             MR. WEBB:  Second.

 

      18             THE CHAIRMAN:  I have a motion and a second

 

      19        on the amendment.

 

      20             Who wants to let us know about the

 

      21        amendment?  Is that Mr. Reingold?

 

      22             MR. REINGOLD:  To the Chair, it's my

 

      23        understanding that the amendment essentially was

 

      24        as Mr. Hainline had explained.  It was a

 

      25        developer-proposed amendment essentially; a more

                                                           11

 

 

       1        strict performance schedule; and, additionally,

 

       2        a limitation of the duration of it to five

 

       3        years.

 

       4             THE CHAIRMAN:  All right.  Thank you for

 

       5        confirming that.

 

       6             Seeing no discussion on the amendment, all

 

       7        in favor signal by saying aye.

 

       8             COMMITTEE MEMBERS:  Aye.

 

       9             THE CHAIRMAN:  All opposed.

 

      10             COMMITTEE MEMBERS:  (No response.)

 

      11             THE CHAIRMAN:  The amendment carries.

 

      12             MR. CLARK:  Move the bill as amended.

 

      13             MR. YARBOROUGH:  Second.

 

      14             THE CHAIRMAN:  Motion and a second on -1215

 

      15        as amended.

 

      16             Seeing no speakers, open the ballot and

 

      17        record the vote.

 

      18             (Committee ballot opened.)

 

      19             MR. CORRIGAN:  (Votes yea.)

       1             THE CHAIRMAN:  By your action, you just

 

       2        approved 2007-1215.

 

       3             Mr. Hainline, I appreciate your diligence

 

       4        in getting this bill passed.  I appreciate it.

 

       5             Thank you.

 

       6             MR. HAINLINE:  Thank you.

 

       7             THE CHAIRMAN:  Item 23, the council

 

       8        president is going to give us some input, so

 

       9        we're going to wait a couple of minutes on -1308

 

      10        and we'll come back to it as soon as the council

 

      11        president steps back into the room.

 

      12             Item 24 and 25, 2007-1310 and -1311, are

 

      13        both deferred.

 

      14             I see Councilmember Jones has joined us.

 

      15             Good evening, Councilmember.  Do you have a

 

      16        specific bill you're here in reference to?

 

      17             MR. JONES:  I didn't get an agenda, but

 

      18        it's at the bottom of --

 

      19             MS. LAHMEUR:  Page 10.

 

      20             THE CHAIRMAN:  I think we just passed

 

      21        that.  The bottom of page 10, we'll be there in

 

      22        one second.  If you can hold on one second,

 

      23        we're almost there.

 

      24             Committee members, we're on the top of

 

      25        page 9.  2007-1312 is deferred.

       8        recommended approval.

 

       9             There has been a slight adjustment with a

 

      10        couple of conditions.  I would just like to have

 

      11        those read, but I think we've -- we were all in

 

      12        agreeance to the conditions -- a deletion of a

 

      13        condition and an addition of a condition at --

 

      14        at Planning Commission, and I would appreciate

 

      15        that.

 

      16             THE CHAIRMAN:  Okay.  Thank you,

 

      17        Mr. Kupperman.

 

      18             We'll go ahead and -- I don't see any

 

      19        questions, so we'll go ahead and close the

 

      20        public hearing.

 

      21             We have an amendment.

 

      22             MR. CLARK:  Move the amendment.

 

      23             MR. WEBB:  Second.

 

      24             THE CHAIRMAN:  I have a motion and a second

 

      25        on the amendment to 2008-42.
