Transcript Partial transcript
Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have
not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard.
It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's
minutes do that (above).
A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, on YouTube, in a new tab.
392 suspect passage(s) marked in place.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 22 voices separated from the audio.
21 short machine repair(s) (26 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one.
Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs, whether a voice was detected where the words are and a language review for likely mishearings.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 93.5% of 16,167 content words.
Dotted words (415 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
392 passages (21% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there.
Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.
Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

Okay? And my hair is even done. ‸ That was out of respect for you guys. First I want to start off by giving a shout out to Miss Rhonda Dingman who I know is watching. ‸ She's in the hospital but she'll be back.

I know there's some people from the community that felt that they would never see that day come. Some of them are still saying it will never happen but I just wanted to thank
They've been surveying all week. You guys know ‸ what I've been trying to do in Broadmoor Acres since actually since Mayor Parrish kind of challenged me on it. And we're making progress. But I want to bring a couple of things to Council's attention and those who are in the audience because I

time. I'm actually getting dirty and ‸ cutting myself and everything else to get the job done. But we're improving. We currently have a contract for three vacant lots that it's our goal, hopefully that by June 1st, we can actually have ground broken on the first new home construction in the Broadmoor Acres community since it was first built in the 1950s.
lot. It's a large lot. It's also a lot that has been a pain for the city. It's also been a lot that's been a pain for the residents of Broadmoor Acres from the driving through between schools on to North Georgia and Broadmoor and Pineda. If we close on it as scheduled on the 24th of this month, we will immediately work with the city, who I must admit our relationship has improved. The openness and the willingness to work together with the city manager's office, with community development, with code is absolutely unquestionable right there where it needs to be. And I appreciate all of it. And on that note, I didn't bring a whole bunch of them, but if you can see the different color, the blue squares are current vacant lots in the community. Right now, I have a commitment anyway on nine of them. I just have to find the funding ‸ to close on them. The idea is to get the lots to clean them up and to somehow convince local builders to come in and build homes that are comparable to what's there.
our 501c3 paperwork put together, we hope to have that filed within the next 10 days as well. So it's not just me harassing you and screaming at you and, you know, pissing you off. I do that to everybody.

Good. Thanks. Bob Harvey, [address], ‸ Unit 601. Mr. Mayor, Councilman, I just want to talk briefly about Broadmoor Acres and what we're trying to do there so maybe others can help. It's turning into a private-public cooperation to try to rejuvenate an area. There's only 174 lots in Broadmoor Acres.
to get involved. And I just don't see a downside to it. ‸ We took today we took a young man who's raising three kids on his own, working two jobs, and we gave him home ownership.

he takes ownership of it. The ‸ pride that these guys get ‸ when they move into their own home or when they get the deed to their own home is just great to see. But it's working out as a public-private or private-public, however you want to say it, partnership, because you guys are helping us. And that's what ‸ we're here to talk about tonight. We met with John and Matt and ‸ some other folks from the city, and they're very helpful and very committed to helping us with the Broadmoor Acres project.

And buy a very reasonable where they're living. Value is going to go up because of what you guys are doing. Probably not real fast, but it's going to go up pretty ‸ well. Well, I'll say it. You know, the old days, that's what people did. They loaned
most people do, you know, mortgages, commercial banks, they're ripoffs. You know, they should be loaning money at a fraction of what they're loaning it. Okay? You know the story. But I love that. That's awesome. And big banks are ripoffs. Well Do something to me. Yeah. I mean, realistically,

Whitmore. Nice job, Colonel Harvey. Mr. Mayor, good evening. Council members, good evening. Staff, good evening. ‸ Here to talk about waterfront issues, and here's a tale from the waterfront. Yesterday, we had someone in my oh, I'm sorry. I'm with Brad Whitmore,
They've stopped here before. They love the village. She was in the store for a little while and made a purchase that was basically about nearly a quarter of our daily sales target. So

That's exactly the kind of person that we like to attract in. She was talking to my wife, and she said, we love it here, but the problem that I have is we anchor out, and when we
it's very difficult for me to get out of the docks that you have provided. It's actually dangerous. True story that I've been saying all along. Heard it again yesterday. It's not the first time I've heard it. So I just wanted to once again say that there's a great little solution here, and that is buy three ladders and put them on this seawall as a temporary solution for a safe, protected, greatly improved dinghy dock facility for Cocoa Village.
if there's anything I can do to facilitate that and move it along, this would be a great time to do it because the spring migration is starting to come back northbound, and we're just starting to see the trickle, and it's going to be happening fast.
They notice, appreciate the cleanup that's going on. I've told them what some of the big plans are that we hope to accomplish. Everybody's very excited, and I hear the expression, you're going to turn this place into a destination, which is music to my ears, and I hope

drove over to Lakeland and went to a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission workshop on grant writing. Very informative. It was only two hours or so long, but I learned a whole lot more in those two hours than I knew before I got there. The takeaway, a couple of big programs, the Florida Boating Improvement Program, information on that. ‸ The other one is the Boating Infrastructure Grant Program, information on that. These are different application processes for money.
out for waterfront improvement projects, ‸ ranging from boat ramps to mooring fields to ground-based facilities to dockage to everything we could ever want to do, that there's money that's being handed out for that. And it's matching funds, and the thing that really caught my attention is they said, we don't care where you match from, bake sale, whatever,
So there's deadlines that come up, and there's one that's going to be coming up very soon and another one in the fall. I don't know the level of the city's involvement ‸ at this point, but I'd like to say if we're not pursuing these, it would be a great idea to pursue them. And once again, I would be happy to help get the ball rolling with what I've learned and point people in the right direction or whatever and go from there.
and it's a competitive basis, so these have to be written right, and you have to have a good reason, and by golly, we've got ‸ the good reason. But it would be great to ‸ get our coffers stocked with somebody else's ‸ money to spend on our waterfront, in my opinion. That's true.
Final item, a reminder, two days from now, Thursday night, 515, the T-Doc is the National Safe Boating Week photo opportunity cruise. Anyone up here is invited. I realize that not everyone can make it. If you'd like, those that can't make it,
shooting for 515. Apparently, there is a 6 o'clock meeting that some people will need to be at, so it's going to be straight out, take a picture, come back in. People that need to be at
can go at that time. If anybody else wants to go out and do a little bit more waterfront orientation, we can do it then. I think probably a good idea would be to say, those that can't make it, don't worry. We'll get you out and just do the waterfront orientation, but you won't get to be part of the big picture. The weather is supposed to be beautiful in ‸ terms of no chance of rain, sunny day, wind out of the north. That's not a problem. It's going to be chilly, so if you like chilly, you're in luck. If you come, bring a windbreaker, a little lights jacket. We can be out of the wind until we go out and take the picture, but when we take the picture, everybody's going to be out and exposed.

In addition ‸ to city staff-generated requests, five proposals were received. All proposals were reviewed at a publicly noticed meeting by a staff review committee.

Whoa, okay. But I just want to emphasize that ‸ they do not drive. They don't have transportation. They might not be able to open a jar because their arthritis is so bad. ‸ They can't stand for any long period of time. They can't see to see the temperature on the oven, but they want to stay in their homes. And that's really what our goal is, to make sure people stay in their homes for as long as possible.

them to continue or to attend college classes. Families are required to pay a parent fee based on their income and their household size. We work with many of the partner agencies here, some ‸ are here this evening, to provide stable nurturing child care experiences to families in need. Child care assistance allows parents to work, which has a far-reaching benefit for not only the family receiving the services, but for the community in general. Services also provide high access to quality early learning experiences for children who might not otherwise be able to receive those services. Those quality early education services are provided through a network ‸ of over 180 providers throughout Brevard County, 20 of those located right here in Cocoa. Payments are made by the Early Learning Coalition to the child care providers, which include public schools, private child care centers, faith-based centers, and family child care homes. Many of these businesses are able to continue providing services due to the funding that they receive from the Early Learning Coalition. Currently in Brevard, we serve over 3,500 children each month in the school readiness program. As of today, we have an additional 837 children on our wait list for child

baby formula, and, uh, things like bicycles and other transportation issues. Uh, today, let's talk about the community, uh, kitchen.

and approved the City of Cocoa development order for Brevard Crossings, which set forth the rights and obligations governing the project, subsequent to the rescission of ‸ the Brevard Crossings DRI development order. Then we fast forward from 2010, and I guess going back to what really what we started out here on this property ‸ in 2002 was the regional mall.
We had 610,000 square feet of commercial. We had 300-seat cinema, 300-room hotels. So back in 2002, this was a very intensive development that was proposed at that time. And as everyone's aware, a few years later, the economy took a downturn, and this project and other projects that were out there, this was put on hold.
which we've been kind of working with since 2010. And in this development plan, it was more of a mixed-use project with 810,000 square feet of commercial, 180,000 square feet of office, a million square feet of industrial, 675 multifamily units, and a 270-room hotel. So it was kind of a mixture throughout the property of those different uses with the west side of kind of the FPL easement there of being the industrial uses and some of the other uses. And then the east side, some of the retail office and also some industrial uses. So that's really the project that has been in place since 2010. And then after the port had purchased ‸ the property, they had intended ‸ to do some things with it, including this development plan.

we have here before you just run down these in the commercial. We're reducing it significantly from 810,000 square feet to 28,000 square feet of proposed commercial. These are all maximums, maximum development intensities. Office would be reduced slightly from 180,000 square feet to 150. Industrial is going up

The residential component is being eliminated completely. ‸ The hotel is staying the same and we are adding the high-end 8,000 square foot restaurant into the development plan. So quite a change, quite a reduction really in intensity of most of these uses that you see here. Here is the latest exhibit of the master development ‸ plan.
property. The west side of the FPL easement is going to be the Walmart distribution center. Now that will essentially take up that entire west side of the property, also including obviously a large amount of on-site stormwater retention. And then the east side will be ‸ developed

again, these are approximates. They're not exact. That line between A and B, it could shift a little bit south, a little bit north. So that's just an approximate at this point. And then there is a future connection to ‸ Cox Road. At this point, the main entry point will be 524. There will be a traffic ‸ signal at 524, a new entry point, and then a future connection for Cox Road. So ‸ that is the big issue is the transportation impacts associated with these projects. Under the current development order that exists right now, the project is basically vested for 3,560 new external PM peak hour trips. That equates to over 34,000 trips per day. Right now, ‸ that could be built on that property. So the proposed development order reduces that significantly. We're going down to 638 net new external trips, PM peak hour trips. That corresponds to a little over 6,000 trips per day.
large reduction in the trips. As I said, nearly 3,000 PM peak hour and 28,000 daily trips are reduced by amending this development order before you. So as we were working with the developer on modifying the development order, there was many, many things that we wanted to make sure were preserved in the new development order. Things that were in the existing development order and things that we felt were important to maintain in the new development order. And just to kind of summarize some of these here, all work shall be in compliance with the applicable environmental laws and permits. That pretty much really goes without saying. No work shall result in
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:53:58–00:54:01 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
And they're still working with, I believe, with the Corps of Engineers ‸ on their permitting as well. So also we have the surface water management system shall be constructed, regularly inspected, and maintained in accordance with
permit approvals. Phase 2 of the project shall be designed, constructed, and operated utilizing low-impact development strategies and techniques, as set forth in the city's comprehensive plan. The stormwater facilities shall be designed not to increase the flood stage experience by properties in the
drainage problems that exist that we're trying to address. Any development associated with this project cannot exacerbate that situation. So that is an assurance ‸ we wanted to make sure we had in this development agreement. Again, the project is vested for 638 p.m. peak hour trips.
to utilize Cox Road. So Class 7 higher, they are not permitted to ‸ utilize Cox Road. And really, virtually all, most of the trucks will be going out 524 heading west to 95.
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:55:51–00:55:52 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
be the vast majority of the trucks anyway. So most of the, a lot of the employee, the associate parking will more than likely would use Cox Road as an access point. But their intent is to try and keep those separate, keep the truck traffic and the associate traffic separate. So they don't, they commingle as little as possible. And finally, consistency with the city of Cocoa comprehensive plan. The development order is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan. Future

program. Unless the approved trip conversion table is used to modify the development program. And so with that, we are requesting ‸ approve the city of Cocoa development order for the Cocoa Logistics and Business Center. And I believe the city manager would also like to provide comments on this ‸ item.
As council's aware, I mean, you know, I probably, if ‸ Steve goes back to the project history, I've been through every one of those public meetings for the, you know, since this project came on board. This project, this property has been through local, regional, state review, ‸ the DRI process, ‸ along with three subsequent amendments, as well as the public process related to the rescission of the DRI and the adoption of the ‸ most current development order, which happened to be concurrent with the adoption of the city's ‸ current 2010-2020 comprehensive plan and is consistent therewith.
It represents a reduction in intensity and density, as well as the impacts, ‸ especially when it comes to transportation. I think, you know, council's aware. I mean, ‸ we currently have an economic development incentive agreement with Walmart related to this project, at least for the portion of the property located to the west, the distribution center. And just to reiterate staff's recommendation to approve the DO as amended and presented to council. And I know

A lot of the ‸ people were worried. A lot of folks that live on the main 524 strip, they live there a long time. Some of them don't want to see any change. Others realize that change is coming. But I guess for us as the citizen reps, we would, you know, we want to make sure that, you know, the road is upgraded. You know, I know DOT is responsible for it, but what I'm saying is they're worried about their kids and safety and pulling out of their neighborhoods ‸ on the 524, you know. I mean, are we looking at that? Are we working with DOT? Is DOT letting us know how they're going to?

Walmart in their persistent work with DOT ‸ out of concern of safety in terms of seeking full signalization of the entrance into the site. Initially, that was not something that DOT felt was warranted due to the number of trips. Right. So I commend both Walmart as well as DOT in the compromise
recognizing the need and the impact to the 524 corridor. Now, the pure number of trips and the level of service do not warrant at this point in time the four-laning of DOT, but there will be some substantial improvements, both from the, I think, the access, the turning lanes, the...
there was a big meeting right here with all representatives from DOT, the county, the city. I think even there was somebody from the Corps of Engineers, St. John's.
I would add that there is a current corridor study being going on currently right now for 524 from the 95 interchange up to Industry Road, and we've been attending all those meetings, myself and Ed, so we're certainly making them aware of our concerns and ‸ kind of what we see for the vision of that corridor, not just as it relates to this project, but all of the other projects along ‸ 524 and that entire corridor to ensure that our concerns are taken into account.

So, I mean, it's not lost on staff, the fact that the corridor is changing. But I think, you know, I've been here more than 15 years. We've been discussing that change for 15 years and knowing that was coming. And the one thing that I think, again, Steve articulated is the fact that the density, well, density is completely being wiped out, 675 multifamily units. And when people talk about the impact, think, you know, there was a million square foot of industrial previously.
to the 810,000 square foot of commercial. Then you had 675 multifamily units and 180,000 square foot of office. So the ‸ impact to the region or to the community as a whole is certainly less, you know, than what was originally that's currently approved. And ‸ I think that's the, this has been through, this property has been through so many public hearings and been vetted many times.

property and reminding me that it's been 15 years since I first got to vote on this acreage. ‸ It's hard to believe it's been that long. And at that time, 15 years ago, what we approved was ‸ a project that would have had much more impact on the local residents than this project is going to have. So if I was a resident of the 524 corridor and I look at the history of this project, I would be really thrilled with what we're doing today as opposed to what was planned for out there previously when it comes to the ‸ density and the traffic. I mean, this is much more bearable for the people who live in that area than the original project that we approved back in 2002, which was a regional mall that would have brought in people from all over the center part of the state and really had a huge traffic impact out there. So I'd just like to thank you for pointing that out, that it's been a really, really long time in coming to get this piece of property developed. And just say that I'm really excited about it. I think it's a great fit.

Yeah, when I first moved here back in the early 2000s, I was told, ‸ because I borrowed it on 524, that we're going to have a nice big development right over there, right by the highway.
not anymore. But now it's starting to develop, and people are starting to say, you know, maybe after all this time, some of us will live long enough to see it going. So I think it's a great move, and I think it's a go-go to win-win situation with Coco.

The contractors mobilized. So the work has started. We met with the school and tried to arrange some details with the school. And the work started. It should be on schedule. It should be done in, you know, as few as six to eight weeks. So it's a fast-track project. This regional stormwater facility supports the commercial development in Diamond Square, where the commercial properties will not have to build on-site retention. Specifically, it supports the Wawa and the Dollar General proposed store that's going in.
So there will probably be at least partial road closures of Barbara Jenkins as they cross the road. They'll have flag men. But there's alternate routes, and it's going. I'm very excited.

I know in the past we've done some reporting on how many potholes we fill, how many permits were issued. That's not exactly what we're talking about here. It's more of how fast are we issuing permits, at what cost, and then also having comparable agencies to benchmark ourselves against.
And it's going to be an undertaking by city staff, but we're excited to move forward with that. It should be a good management tool. And also for city council and the citizens, an understanding of what it is that the city is accomplishing.

While it will add to the level of requirements in terms of the process of approving the budget and advertising, I think we're all still trying when I say all, I mean communities around the state are trying to wrap their hands around and see what exactly is being proposed here because there is some and it applies to all levels of government.

each of those special revenue funds. So I think we're all trying to get our hands around that piece of legislation. We've been in contact with the league to try to better ‸ understand it and then offer up our comments. And then the last one, there is a bill that we're kind of keeping our eye on regarding utilities and rate setting and the role of the PSC for municipal utilities. It's been referred to three committees and hasn't been heard in either of them. So we continue to stay in touch with the league as well as with Jerry. It is a very active session, and I would just say that home rule and community self-determination is under ‸ attack, I would think would be an understatement.

we need it but they don't. But having having the different subjects at the different ethics training I think is definitely the way to go. They didn't try and cover everything at once.
An hour of this and an hour of that. And so I want to thank the Florida League of Cities for the way they put the program together. It was it was great. And also, I have to agree with Mr. Whipple. I am a victim of that traffic being blocked there at Washington and King Street at least once a week.
And it's really, really frustrating to sit ‸ there and not be able to turn off of King Street onto Washington and get where you're going because people block an intersection. I mean, to me, it's just it's rude. You know, people thinking only about themselves and not other people. But you know, when there's a sign there,
that says don't do it and you can't take the time to read the sign, it's pretty frustrating. And it's only because I don't want to run into Chief Cantaloupe that I don't get out of my car and tell people how rude they are. Because sometimes you sit there

Well, if the low-income area can't support itself, then ‸ why should we be investing in it? I mean, it was like it was shocking. I mean, it really was. The lack of understanding. And at the end of the day, I mean, they compared them to the California CRAs and if you know anything about the California and we had a benefit that there's a city manager that's here in Brevard County that was from California. You know, the big issue with California was their CRAs, they were getting a TIF increment from every taxing district. ‸ So they were getting it from school board, any port, whatever it was.
to levelize and stabilize funding among lower-performing schools that ‸ they were in lower-income areas and had the same amount of resources to other areas. Well, that meant while they were still getting they ‸ had this pot of money and then they're providing it to ‸ these school districts, well, they were still sending money off to CRAs. So it was in the state's interest to do it there. I mean, they're just totally different. And it's really surprising.
