[00:00:30] Next item is Resolution 2019-07 CRA Update and Sunset Provisions. [00:00:36] Resolution number 2019-07, a resolution of the Community Redevelopment Agency of the [00:00:41] City of New Port Richey recommending to the City Council of New Port Richey adoption of [00:00:46] an updated and amended community redevelopment plan, including extension of the time certain [00:00:51] for redevelopment activities and tax increment revenue funded activities through September [00:00:57] 30, 2049 and providing an effective date. [00:01:00] Very good. [00:01:01] We'll open it up for public comment. [00:01:05] Seeing no one come forward, I'll bring it back to the Board. [00:01:09] Move for approval. [00:01:10] Second. [00:01:11] Do we have a motion and a second to the maker? [00:01:13] No, we went through it at the last meeting. [00:01:15] To the second? [00:01:16] No. [00:01:17] We're good with it. [00:01:18] Director Altman? [00:01:19] Just for someone who wasn't watching the last meeting, this is another 30 years for the [00:01:27] City to embrace its redevelopment activities and make things happen. [00:01:32] So I think it gives the City maximum opportunities to have ourselves change. [00:01:40] I would add one other thing that I noticed from an old rug that had all of the buildings [00:01:48] in it. [00:01:49] How many buildings were built in the 1920s in town, the 24, 25, 26? [00:01:54] It seems like the 2020s, a hundred years later, is just kind of maybe coincidental. [00:02:02] We have the library and everything else. [00:02:03] But now that a hundred years has passed, the City is looking to maybe install some new [00:02:09] memorable architectural features in the town. [00:02:12] So it's exciting. [00:02:13] Absolutely. [00:02:14] Director Starkey?

CRA Land Sale of a Parcel of Land on Rio Drive
approvedThe CRA Board approved the sale of a city-owned parcel on Rio Drive to a local developer (Mr. Blackwell) for $15,000, to be built as a 1,200 sq ft three-bedroom, two-bath single-family home. The $15,000 will be refunded once a homeowner purchases the home and obtains a homestead exemption, serving as a CRA subsidy to encourage owner-occupied development.
- motion:Move to approve the CRA land sale of the Rio Drive parcel to the selected developer for $15,000, refundable upon homestead occupancy. (passed)

[00:02:15] No, I have just something to bring before the Board. [00:02:18] Just an idea that popped into my head today after speaking with Mr. Driscoll. [00:02:24] But I'll wait until the end of the meeting. [00:02:25] Okay. [00:02:26] Very good. [00:02:27] If there's no further discussion, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [00:02:30] Aye. [00:02:31] Opposed? [00:02:32] Blank sign. [00:02:33] Motion passes. [00:02:35] Next is CRA land sale of a parcel of land on Rio Drive. [00:02:43] The City is the current owner of a property, and if we can pull it up, Mr. George, on Rio [00:02:52] Drive, interestingly enough, the property was donated to the City by Pasco County when [00:03:01] George served in the capacity of, what was your title, Community Development Director? [00:03:08] Yes. [00:03:09] And he transferred the property to the City, knowing that we would find a use for it in [00:03:19] the future. [00:03:21] And now that he's on staff, I've tasked him with finding an appropriate use for the reuse [00:03:28] of this parcel of property, and George wanted to tell the Council a little bit about what [00:03:33] we have in mind. [00:03:34] Very good. [00:03:35] Thank you, Ms. Manns. [00:03:36] Yes, this parcel, undeveloped, and I think it never has been developed, on Rio Drive [00:03:42] was actually a bank foreclosed property that was donated to the County. [00:03:46] At that time, the County was not building new homes, but we knew the City through its [00:03:50] CRA was interested in developing the City, so we basically gave it to the City at cost. [00:03:57] We had a request for proposals and qualifications to developers for proposals to develop the [00:04:04] property. [00:04:05] We wanted the property to be developed as a single-family home of a certain size. [00:04:09] We wanted to make sure there's a homeowner in that house. [00:04:12] We don't want another investor property. [00:04:14] We had three developers apply. [00:04:18] The one we selected is a local developer who has developed several properties. [00:04:23] In fact, right now, they're building six homes at the corner of Indiana and Congress, and [00:04:31] they will pay $15,000 to the City for the property, and once the property is sold and [00:04:37] a homeowner goes in there and obtains his homestead exemption, then the $15,000 will [00:04:42] be returned. [00:04:43] And that's our subsidy to the developer to develop that parcel. [00:04:49] I might additionally add that it is a three-bedroom, two-bath structure that we requested be built [00:04:57] there, and that it's 1,200 square feet in size. [00:05:00] Very good, open it up for public comment. [00:05:06] Seeing no one, come forward, bring it back to the Board. [00:05:09] I'll move for approval. [00:05:12] Second with a comment. [00:05:14] I think Mr. Blackwell is definitely a qualified developer, and I'm sure he'll build a nice [00:05:17] little house there. [00:05:18] Second. [00:05:19] What is the size? [00:05:20] Remind me of the size of the lot, please. [00:05:21] The size, I believe, is 50 by 75, I believe. [00:05:26] It's a smaller lot. [00:05:27] I drove by, and I just didn't know. [00:05:30] It's tough to see how deep it is. [00:05:33] Thank you. [00:05:34] Director Holland? [00:05:35] Just a question about, it's a CRA land sale. [00:05:40] I know that some of the lands that the city has acquired through the CRA are still titled [00:05:46] in the name of the city, because I'm not sure if that's an issue or not, but is this a recorded [00:05:55] asset of the CRA? [00:05:57] Is it? [00:05:58] Thank you. [00:05:59] Director Murphy? [00:06:00] No, nothing. [00:06:01] Any further discussion? [00:06:02] Hearing none, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [00:06:08] Aye. [00:06:09] Opposed? [00:06:10] Motion passes.
