Quorum noted. ReportsCharner Reese – Reported her changes in the VISION statement. The Chair handed out a document comparing the two documents, the original text and the edited text. There was much discussion and it was motioned, seconded and approved that Renae Meehan would condense the document to one page – Lisa DeVitto would edit it. Resident write-up – The Chair reported that she had written and sent out to everyone. There was some discussion about it. Rose reported that she wasn’t sure of the direction of it. She explained that she didn’t understand why the 1975 plan was in it because it was out of date. She stated that there were Master Plans that had been done – the 1975 was an interim and incorporated into the Horizon 2000 Plan. The Chair asked if the community had been interviewed with the other plans and she said no. The landuse piece of the 1975 plan to the current landuse map and that they are almost identical. The Future Land Use Map is the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. They may have different titles because the ___ Classifications have changed. There are a lot of multifamily that have been added, Charner mentioned. Rose responded that was a lot that came through on the zoning conformance program. The basis of the Zoning Conformance Program was if they had the zoning, the zoning was then converted from the Leary Code so that no one’s zoning was taken away. The zoning piece was what implemented the Horizon 2000 plan came into being 1977 and served as a basis for The Tampa Comprehensive Plan which came into use in 1979. In 1995-96 there was something that changed all zoning. Then in 1985 Legislation changed and then in 1989 we then updated the plan but in the time period of 1985-86 there was something called the zoning conformance program which changed all the zoning but it zoning implements the 1979 plan. Charner suggested that some of those issues we’d like to address – we began learning earlier on that there are certain areas right now that are all single-family detached and what we learned that the zoning was single family and yet the future land use would allow it to go to town homes. So in those areas we want to know how we can address what we heard that the community likes predominately single family detached housing for the future. And at the same time not have that line go right down the middle of the street but if there is going to be a line like that let it go down the whole block or alley – cushioning the change from town homes to single family detached. Rose cautioned us that we needed to know that just looking at a land use plan does not mean what will happen in the future. There are many policies in the plan when you look at zoning. Charner suggested that we work to get our policies worked out in time, we could get these policies incorporated in the 2025 Plan that the Planning Commission is working on right now. There was much discussion on Zoning, Population Density and what kind of data we need to gather to put out options for the desires that we have heard. It was decided that Rose would bring the “facts” she felt we needed to the next meeting. The Chair reported on how much it would cost to put another plate in the newspaper to publish the Plan Options - $130 for the plate; $120 for production so a total of about $250.00 per section. Renae stated that putting it in 4 papers she thought was too drawn out and she suggested that we put it into one or two. Lorraine suggested other ways of presenting it: Talk Shows, TV channels – She suggested that how extensive do we want the information to go out? What other avenues are we going to be using? The newspaper was suggested in place of an Open House. The Chair asked for goals – timeline – so we can know if we’re making it. Charner suggested that we give an outline of the whole plan as to what it will have in it. Then say this is section 1, etc. Highlights of the Plan – we’ve already given them information on the process…Charner suggested we could take all the options and make them into bullets – they’d be self-explanatory. Concern was brought up by many of the task force members as to our goals about reporting; the output format. The Chair suggested that from now on that our twice monthly meetings should be the full Task Force and delineate which of the sections we will work on together. In other words, no more individual section meetings. Take what we have and work on it as a full group. To some of the concerns expressed by some members, the Chair stipulated to the group that she couldn’t “make” any of the Task Force members do what needed to be done – you are all volunteers, she stated that she could only repeat, repeat, repeat and “ask”. The members discussed the scheduled meetings. The idea of no more subcommittee meetings just Task Force meetings was raised. It was agreed that we needed to get the agreement from the Chairs of the subcommittees. The Chair stated that the next meeting was scheduled for next Monday the September 27 (13 th and 27 th of Sept. but everybody said no; next one scheduled for the 4 th and she thought that the Task Force wouldn’t want 3 weeks in a row; The Chair stated the agenda for next week’s meeting would be to setting direction; recreating goals. The Chair asked about her request to the Task Force to help her: have representatives from the Task Force to go to Gandy Civic Assoc. meeting Oct 4; plus reevaluate the scheduled meetings for the month of October from Monday night to another night. – moved Task Force Meeting from the 11 th to the 5 th of October - Charner suggested that we meet at the HCC admin bldg. – she was will call an get authorization and contact the Chair. Month of October we can’t meet on Mondays and need to agree on alternative. Lorraine offered to go to the Gandy Assoc, Monday Oct 4 th – Renee Meehan would try to go too. Next Meeting Scheduled: Task Force next Monday, September 27, 2004. 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm, Conference room at 238 E. Davis building. All sections will handout written documents to the members for their perusal and discussion in preparation for our October 5 meeting where we will begin to weave the separate reports into a whole PLAN.
