I will now hand it over to the applicant and, I believe, Cindy trimmer is going to 104 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:49.770 Jon Jay: Be providing their report. 105 00:17:55.710 --> 00:17:56.910 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): As soon as she unmutes herself. 106 00:17:57.120 --> 00:17:58.650 Cyndy Trimmer: I figured that one out. 107 00:17:59.940 --> 00:18:05.370 Cyndy Trimmer: Thank you very much. So Cindy trimmer one independent drives Suite 1200 on behalf of the applicant. 108 00:18:06.180 --> 00:18:11.610 Cyndy Trimmer: First, I just want to thank everybody for being so flexible and agreeing to meet today. We really do appreciate it. 109 00:18:12.360 --> 00:18:21.390 Cyndy Trimmer: Want to go over kind of the big picture of what we're doing today why we're here. How we got here and then turn it over to john j with Ryan companies to run through the details. 110 00:18:21.990 --> 00:18:35.820 Cyndy Trimmer: We also have Mike Harriman from Ryan company Joe Mecca, Mike Mullins, and I think Anna Walling, they managed to get in from Kimberly horn, JJ Connors and Nancy kilgo go with JEA on the line and they're all available to answer questions that might come up 111 00:18:37.560 --> 00:18:49.050 Cyndy Trimmer: So as everyone's heard by now the JEA board decided to take a portion of the operations out of this building. So in light of that decision they approached Ryan and asked to reduce the size of both structures. 112 00:18:49.500 --> 00:18:55.290 Cyndy Trimmer: So the main building you see in the plans today is 22 feet shorter the garage is 10 feet shorter 113 00:18:56.070 --> 00:19:03.690 Cyndy Trimmer: The overall building square footage has reduced from by 38,000 square feet and we've got 193 fewer spaces. 114 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:12.870 Cyndy Trimmer: As Lori detailed the last approval was conditioned upon redesigning the corner at Julia and Adams modifying the force protection around the building. 115 00:19:13.290 --> 00:19:19.590 Cyndy Trimmer: And incorporating the business in our district design guideline criteria and then documenting that we meet the 40% shade coverage. 116 00:19:20.040 --> 00:19:24.060 Cyndy Trimmer: So we're really excited to hear your feedback on the redesign of the garage. 117 00:19:24.330 --> 00:19:32.670 Cyndy Trimmer: We think that you'll be as happy as we are with the outcome. The elevations do a really good job of showing how the corner and the screening 118 00:19:32.940 --> 00:19:39.600 Cyndy Trimmer: really opens up that area and it makes it far more visually dynamic when you're approaching from either Julia or Adams. 119 00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:47.790 Cyndy Trimmer: You're going to see in the plans that the force protection has been revamped we have reduced the height of all of the planters and also the size of many of them. 120 00:19:48.210 --> 00:19:57.180 Cyndy Trimmer: So with that, there are additional bollards that have been added around the perimeter and the loading dock because we still need to address the heightened security needs of those critical areas. 121 00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:04.290 Cyndy Trimmer: But all of those bollards have been designed to be ADA compliant and still maintain the minimum five foot distance required between each of them. 122 00:20:05.040 --> 00:20:10.740 Cyndy Trimmer: And then finally, the site plan that we're going to show you and bring up in a minute. It's been modified from what was handed out to you earlier. 123 00:20:11.040 --> 00:20:26.790 Cyndy Trimmer: With different shading and everything so you can really see that they have gone through the business and inter design criteria to add that banding. And we also have a slide to show that we meet the minimum shade requirements. So with that, if I can share my screen. 124 00:20:32.910 --> 00:20:34.260 Cyndy Trimmer: Is that up for everyone. 125 00:20:36.450 --> 00:20:39.270 Jon Jay: Yes. Okay perfect, so I will turn it 126 00:20:39.300 --> 00:20:40.170 Cyndy Trimmer: Over to john J 127 00:20:43.290 --> 00:20:58.470 Jon Jay: Hello everyone, my name is john Jay 206 East chemistry tampa florida 33603. So in this image right here you can see the building as proposed a reduction of two floors 128 00:20:59.910 --> 00:21:08.370 Jon Jay: Simply just taking out to the center floors and dropping the top down. Also the parking garage was reduced by one for as well. 129 00:21:09.930 --> 00:21:11.400 Jon Jay: So, and 130 00:21:13.050 --> 00:21:40.020 Jon Jay: In consideration of the paving guidelines per city of Jacksonville and the pavers for the area we've incorporated the banding around the curb, like a two foot banding around the curb and then we've also included the kind of perpendicular pavers banding. 131 00:21:41.790 --> 00:21:50.970 Jon Jay: As far as a repetition, that matches the architectural design of the building. So we have some architectural banding. 132 00:21:52.230 --> 00:21:57.030 Jon Jay: Happening in the sidewalk wherever the trees are and then Let's see where we go in this image here. You can also notice in the south west corner plan. I'm sorry. We're going to try okay so north is straight vertically on the page. And sorry, I'm looking at this backwards but so the Southeast 135 00:22:23.340 --> 00:22:30.870 Jon Jay: corner is down here at the partner Raj of on corner of Julia Street and Adam Street. 136 00:22:31.650 --> 00:22:49.320 Jon Jay: We took a lot of your feedback and thoughts of what we could do to enhance the pedestrian experience at this corner. So we were able to transfer for the corner of the parking garage enough to be able to have much more 137 00:22:50.490 --> 00:23:01.800 Jon Jay: Access for the pedestrian what path around the building there and it also opens up the building uh the parking garage to the corner of the street. 138 00:23:02.550 --> 00:23:24.840 Jon Jay: We've also included a new tree at this corner that would kind of match the corners at Julia and Monroe at the northeast and Julia or Pearl Street and Monroe The northwest corner so kind of adding more landscaping to the corners. If we go to the next slide. 139 00:23:27.840 --> 00:23:30.180 Jon Jay: Yeah. So here's the shade requirements. we have currently a 60% I think a 61% shade on the pedestrian area. 142 00:23:43.020 --> 00:23:55.470 Jon Jay: go to to the next corner. So here I'll start walking around the building showing you the areas that we've modified since the last presentation. 143 00:23:56.100 --> 00:24:05.910 Jon Jay: So if we start in the bottom left corner of the page. We'll just go walking around the sidewalk. So we took in consideration the request to 144 00:24:06.780 --> 00:24:33.510 Jon Jay: Look at the size of the planters we previously had them 36 inches they're about 3036 inches and we've reduced those down to about 18 inches still tall enough to provide some kind of impact barrier, but less of a bulkiness to them so they're a plate Steel Wall, that is 145 00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:57.780 Jon Jay: 16 inches high, with landscaping and a tree and in the cente rof them. So then in this image as well as we travel north on the plan, you can see that we've added some more bollards to the corner to protect the building and the pedestrians at this corner. the bollards are on a set Ted. 146 00:24:59.760 --> 00:25:01.800 Jon Jay: Its security through Design our environmental design concept where we are placing the bollards about every five to six feet. 148 00:25:13.620 --> 00:25:23.250 Jon Jay: Depending on how they line up with the building, They range in spacing, but their ADA accessible to where you can walk between the two of them. 149 00:25:24.390 --> 00:25:25.350 Jon Jay: At any given time. 150 00:25:26.430 --> 00:25:35.670 Jon Jay: Also the northwest corner We've added a building egress exit so set of stairs leading out from the multi purpose room. 151 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:43.050 Jon Jay: And then we've had to relocate a couple of trees on this corner based on 152 00:25:44.280 --> 00:25:51.090 Jon Jay: Either existing utilities or site conflicts other site complex. So we have the same amount of trees. 153 00:25:52.290 --> 00:26:00.870 Jon Jay: That we did in the previous design. We've just kind of reposition them. So here are two trees that have been relocated. 154 00:26:02.100 --> 00:26:08.430 Jon Jay: Both of these trees that are plouted are in 30 amps planners are sorry 18 inch planners. 155 00:26:10.170 --> 00:26:18.660 Jon Jay: And then if we go over to the urban open space. We're still showing a 20 foot deep by 21 foot wide. 156 00:26:20.130 --> 00:26:36.030 Jon Jay: Urban open space with pavers and a planter. And then we continue the bollards down path to the into the parking garage, so we can add protection to the building electrical transformer room. 157 00:26:37.320 --> 00:26:53.850 Jon Jay: We've also had to include some bollards at the loading dock entrance to reside in the pedestrian path here, again, I think the spacing on those bollards is roughly about six feet clear between the two. 158 00:26:54.870 --> 00:26:57.510 Jon Jay: So enough for ADA accessible path between the bollards 160 00:27:02.910 --> 00:27:06.930 Jon Jay: If we, we can go to the next slide, Cindy Thank you. 161 00:27:08.550 --> 00:27:15.300 Jon Jay: So if we start in the top left corner, we can continue walking around the sidewalk, but here again we looked at the entrance 162 00:27:15.780 --> 00:27:28.890 Jon Jay: The vehicular entrance into the parking garage, we've kind of got rid of the previous curb design that we had. We had a curb with them some ADA ramps. So now we're showing kind of a smooth transitional 163 00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:51.240 Jon Jay: Drive entrance into kind of transfer between the sidewalk and the driveway. So just continuous slope and then to the right of the parking garage entrance We've had to relocate that tree over to the other. 164 00:27:52.290 --> 00:27:55.290 Jon Jay: Northwest corner because of underground utilities. 165 00:27:56.430 --> 00:27:58.740 Jon Jay: If we head over to Julia Street. 166 00:28:00.330 --> 00:28:18.060 Jon Jay: We can see that there's a large amount of pavers on the corner of Monroe and Julia. So right there at the stair and then as we head down, Julia Street, We've relocated Some of the planters to align with the 167 00:28:19.170 --> 00:28:28.440 Jon Jay: Newly designed or relocated entrances to the active use space. I believe the active use space now is also about it I think it's about 40, 45 feet deep 42 feet deep so much deeper larger active view space. and then let's see we can continue down to the next slide Cindy. So at the top portion of the site plan. We've relocated the large planter. 174 00:28:58.890 --> 00:29:09.810 Jon Jay: Centered on the parking garage. So now it has a center president on the on the building and then this planner is in a sixth inch high planter. And then south of that is a another raised planner and a 16 inch high planner that aligned with the entrance into the active use space. We've provided a eight foot barrier in or an eight foot 177 00:29:29.790 --> 00:29:37.770 Jon Jay: Wide pedestrian space between the back of the planter and the front of the door. So plenty of clearance for pedestrian path 178 00:29:38.850 --> 00:29:40.620 Jon Jay: To navigate around the planter, they're 179 00:29:42.180 --> 00:29:58.590 Jon Jay: Going down south again on plan. Now, we had to relocate. One of the planters that we were previously showing in this location because of underground utilities. We relocated that to Adam street down there near the entrance into the garage. 180 00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.090 Jon Jay: Right here you can see how we tampered the the parking garage corner there. So it gives a kind of that corner now kind of faces the part of the street intersection. And then at this intersection we also include lots of pavers some pattern concrete and a couple of large trees, the larger tree is in a planter six inch high planter. 183 00:30:31.620 --> 00:30:40.410 Jon Jay: And then the other two trees along Adams street are in raised 16 inch high planters. 184 00:30:41.670 --> 00:30:49.980 Jon Jay: And then the relocated tree isn't a sixth inch high platner here again at the entrance of the garage, we got rid of the previous curb design with the ADA sidewalk ramps curb cut ramps that were previously showing and are using a kind of more slope transition between the two. And then go back to again. Or if we can keep on this slide. Go back to the next slide, Cindy. Sorry. 189 00:31:17.730 --> 00:31:21.630 Jon Jay: Yeah, here we go. So here's the corner of the garage, we've added the start of our bollards that start as this corner of the stair entrance that extend past the urban space. And then there's a gap in the bollards where we incorporated the planters and some hardened benches to aid in the security and then that line of bollards continues to the corner of Adam and Pearl Street and then runs nor along Pearl Street to the northwest corner then again the 192 00:32:01.770 --> 00:32:04.950 Jon Jay: bollards are again spaced five to six feet apart. 193 00:32:06.450 --> 00:32:09.240 Jon Jay: plenty of space for ADA accessibility between the two. 194 00:32:10.980 --> 00:32:28.650 Jon Jay: So the two planters or the one large planter out on the south end of the building here has been reduced down to six inches from 30 inches. And then it has two eight two 16 inch high planters. 195 00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:39.660 Jon Jay: That contain trees that kind of flank the storefront behind them. as we continue on to the corner. The whole corner of 196 00:32:41.670 --> 00:32:44.160 Jon Jay: Pearl Street and Adams Street is 197 00:32:45.330 --> 00:32:46.620 Jon Jay: Surface of pavers 198 00:32:47.760 --> 00:32:52.830 Jon Jay: And then if we go to the other planter on 199 00:32:54.120 --> 00:32:58.020 Jon Jay: So really, all of the planters except for the planters with trees. 200 00:32:59.670 --> 00:33:07.650 Jon Jay: Are six inch high with bollards behind them. So we've really kind of looked at this corner and tried to lower 201 00:33:09.450 --> 00:33:14.970 Jon Jay: The presence of the bollards and the mass that the heavy weight of the 202 00:33:17.010 --> 00:33:28.620 Jon Jay: The previous design of the planeters was causing so we have planters running along Pear; streets always continuing up 203 00:33:29.790 --> 00:33:42.690 Jon Jay: Until you get to the planters with the trees right there. The parking spaces so fast tree again is going to be a 18 inch high planter. 204 00:33:45.300 --> 00:33:58.380 Jon Jay: We go into the I skipped over the urban open space. We had to remove a raised planter and this open urban space due to underground utilities. We have a couple of 205 00:33:59.460 --> 00:34:11.400 Jon Jay: underground water meter vaults in that location. So we had to remove the planter conflict and in that area. But we still have a 20 foot wide by 20 foot deep. 206 00:34:12.930 --> 00:34:14.310 Jon Jay: urban open space. 207 00:34:16.620 --> 00:34:19.320 Jon Jay: We can go to the next page, Cindy. Thank you. 208 00:34:20.640 --> 00:34:22.140 Jon Jay: So on elevations the main thing that we did to the building was we we removed the two floors from the building. And then in this elevation. We extended some of the office space on the seventh floor and took over some of the tear space. So, to the left of that office space is still terrace. So I think it's going to be about 30 feet wide by I think almost 100 feet long of terrorists open terrace space so still a large area for outdoor activities. 212 00:35:02.700 --> 00:35:13.320 Jon Jay: And then so no other than just removing two floors of the building here and then one level of a parking garage. No other significant change on that elevation 213 00:35:14.790 --> 00:35:20.610 Jon Jay: Here again you can see where we extended the office space on the seventh floor. And then in our previous design. We had a upper and the lower terrace that were connected by an outdoor stair. So we had to, we've needed to gain more office space. So we've increased the office based on the sixth floor removing the outdoor terrace area and the exterior, exterior stair, but that terrace space is now above So level seven right there Is that continuous length of outdoor terrace space. 218 00:36:04.860 --> 00:36:23.550 Jon Jay: And so we can. Here's the parking garage. So we removed one floor of the parking garage and we've had to do some reconfiguration of the pre cast structure of the parking garage. So that's played a part of the redesign of the 219 00:36:25.170 --> 00:36:36.660 Jon Jay: Of the metal panels as well as how we incorporated the transfer on the corner. So, all of that kind of playing apart and redesigning or reconfiguring the the location of the panels. So the way that we have the panels configured Right now we have about 52 feet of open space between the panels. 221 00:36:50.400 --> 00:37:04.020 Jon Jay: If you add up the 16th, 17th and 18th but 30 feet and so that compared to our previous design that you can see up in the upper right corner that was 42 feet of open lot of kind of linear openness. 223 00:37:08.430 --> 00:37:26.340 Jon Jay: To the screening. If we go to the next page Cindy. This is long Julia Street. So here again, we've reconfigured the location of the panels. They've tried to align with the structure of the parking garage. we have a a openness of 47 feet in between panels in the new option and we had previously and an openness between the panels of 67 to serve 67 feet so we have 225 00:37:45.600 --> 00:37:53.310 Jon Jay: Less openness on this elevation. we go to the next elevation. Thank you. So here again. 226 00:37:54.330 --> 00:37:55.440 Jon Jay: same metal panels. Starting to wrap the corner there on the right side of the parking garage and our openness between panels here is 56 feet compared to the 41 feet that were previously showing 228 00:38:11.310 --> 00:38:18.090 Jon Jay: Next slide. And then here is just an image of how you can see the to the building and the parking garage relate to each other. and so this the previous slide was Adam Street. This is Monroe Street and then here's a diagram of the how're kind of screening the cars from the street level. So the vehicles in the parking garage have to 232 00:38:41.550 --> 00:38:55.380 Jon Jay: Pull in and they also pull in and a 90 degree angle. There's no way or not a 90 degree angle. Sorry 70 degree angle. There's no way for a vehicle to back into a space. So the hood of the car will always be up adjacent to the exterior wall in the parking garage creating a lower sightline of from the pedestrian on across the street so 235 00:39:09.060 --> 00:39:27.180 Jon Jay: Here you can see the view angles and how we've kind of obscured the vehicles from the street. And this is in a case where we don't have screen panels. So in those 15 , 10 to 15 foot gaps in between panels That's what how you would see the garage. So here's the floor plan. Still haven't maintained Parker parks here in this. This is the seventh floor plan. You can see now how we have just one large continuous run of the exterior tears. 238 00:39:46.500 --> 00:39:52.740 Jon Jay: And then here is the parking garage. You can see the Chamfered corner on the Julia Street and Adam street intersection there. 240 00:39:58.140 --> 00:40:04.020 Jon Jay: A much deeper activated space. Here's the root plan of the parking garage. You see the Chamfered corner there. Again, here's a image perspective view from standing on the corner of Julia Street and Adams Street. You see how the metal panel wraps around the corner of giving back corner a softer, more colorful look to the corner, and then our planters give a nice accent to the landscaping. 243 00:40:35.490 --> 00:40:39.960 Jon Jay: And then here's another perspective from the corner looking more down Julia Street. 244 00:40:43.650 --> 00:40:51.300 Jon Jay: There's one looking completely down Julia Street. So the Chamfered corner does a really good job of softening the heart edge of the parking garage. 245 00:40:54.480 --> 00:41:13.050 Jon Jay: And then here. Again, this is Adams Street and there, again, this is the direction of traffic you would be driving in so just seeing the the metal panel wrapping, the corner of the park garage kind of softening that edge again. 246 00:41:15.300 --> 00:41:20.880 Jon Jay: And then so our exterior materials have not changed. So we're still using metal panels and curtain wall and then colors of the all the colors are the same, systems are the same. I think that is it. 250 00:41:49.170 --> 00:41:53.520 Cyndy Trimmer: So with that, Mr. Harden, I think that we are available for any questions. 251 00:41:56.430 --> 00:42:03.270 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): All right, do we have any Ms. Mezini, have we had any public comment requests? 252 00:42:03.300 --> 00:42:11.700 Ina Mezini (DIA Staff): We have not had any public comment requests. I do see Mr. Schillings has his hand up. I don't know if that is in relation to this project but he does have his hand up. 253 00:42:13.170 --> 00:42:14.640 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): I have a feeling I know what he's gonna say 254 00:42:15.990 --> 00:42:19.710 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): Do we have any conflicts that any, any of the board members would like to address. 255 00:42:20.850 --> 00:42:26.970 Bill Schilling (DDRB Board): Yes, Mr. Chairman, this, this is Bill Schilling yeah thank you real quickly. I did want to share 256 00:42:27.570 --> 00:42:32.280 Bill Schilling (DDRB Board): That Kimberly horn which which is my employer and also a firm that I'm a shareholder. 257 00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:36.480 Bill Schilling (DDRB Board): Of is on this project team and has been providing services on this project. So because of that conflict of interest. I am not going to be casting a vote on this item in wanting to share that with everyone before we got into the the 259 00:42:46.650 --> 00:42:48.480 Bill Schilling (DDRB Board): The board discussion portion of this project. 261 00:42:50.940 --> 00:43:09.120 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): Okay, great. We'll go ahead and get you a notice on that fill out for staff, all right um but you can still have any comment, you'd like to provide on here so I will I'll start with the board and move around, I would like to remind the board please try to keep all of your comments together. If you have any notes will try to make another round in case any more members would like to add additional comments. But when you do make comments If you could please state your name again for the record. Prior to speaking. 263 00:43:26.370 --> 00:43:29.940 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): So I will start with I'll start with Mr. Lee. 264 00:43:33.090 --> 00:43:45.120 Trevor Lee (DDRB Board): Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the presentation and the attention to the comments that we provided in the first round of reviews and approvals. I don't have any further comments, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. 265 00:43:46.830 --> 00:43:49.290 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): All right. Thank you, Mr. Lee. Mrs. Durden? 266 00:43:57.420 --> 00:43:58.320 Brenna Durden (DDRB Board): Can you hear me now. 267 00:43:58.710 --> 00:43:59.220 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): We can. 268 00:44:00.030 --> 00:44:01.410 Brenna Durden (DDRB Board): Okay, great. Um, likewise I I do appreciate the presentation and the thoroughness and appreciate you taking the time to go through the changes that you made, I want to say how much I appreciate and like the Chamfered corner. That was a new term for me, by the way. Always learning. And I think that that is is adds a lot to that to that not only to that corner but to the sense of as people will be walking down that road, as well as driving down Adams Street. 273 00:44:43.980 --> 00:44:46.500 Brenna Durden (DDRB Board): I did have a question about the about the screening the middle screening and some of the and just to be clear, we're actually in increasing the gaps where there won't be screening on both Monroe and Adams, is that correct john 276 00:45:07.890 --> 00:45:08.640 Jon Jay: That is correct. Yes mam. 277 00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:13.470 Jon Jay: We're minimizing it on Julia Street. 279 00:45:16.110 --> 00:45:30.600 Brenna Durden (DDRB Board): And was there, could you explain why you felt like you need, I am assuming that you felt that there are that there was a reason that you needed to do that because, um, you know, the screening was very important, you know, to us. 280 00:45:31.680 --> 00:45:33.570 Brenna Durden (DDRB Board): As much screening as possible, and so I'm just curious about the need to actually increase those gaps. 283 00:45:42.660 --> 00:46:03.780 Jon Jay: I think we're using the same amount of linear square foot of screening we just now have kind of more linear square foot because of the Chamfered corner and we've just arrange those panels in a way that match with a structure that it just happened that we ended up with larger gaps in the design. 285 00:46:08.070 --> 00:46:09.300 Jon Jay: It wasn't ... 286 00:46:13.980 --> 00:46:14.730 Brenna Durden (DDRB Board): Exactly, yeah. it sounds like it was a function of being able to utilize the same amount of the screening, but in it in a different fashion to 288 00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:25.470 Jon Jay: Correct. 289 00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:45.000 Brenna Durden (DDRB Board): Okay. I have some concerned about that. I guess it's not enough for me to, to, you know, change my mind. But I am I wish that there was a way that we could at least keep the gaps along those two main thoroughfares, the same. The other question and also has to do with the garage and that is on the top level could you just remind us or tell us first whether you've had to make any changes to the screening that rises above the floor level of that top slab, if you will. 292 00:47:11.430 --> 00:47:18.720 Brenna Durden (DDRB Board): I'm interested. The focus of my comment is on the screening on that top floor. I guess above the hoods of the cars, how far does that extend from the slab of that top level to to provide screen for the cars at that level on that top level? 295 00:47:38.250 --> 00:47:50.670 Jon Jay: So the, the pre cast spandrel panel extend about 30, 36 inches above the surface of the parking garage of the drive. 296 00:47:52.110 --> 00:47:54.090 Jon Jay: So that's just a standard 297 00:47:55.770 --> 00:48:10.590 Jon Jay: Standard way of construction for that. And then the the metal panel doesn't extend past the the top of the spandrel, just like in our previous design the metal panel was always below that, that point. 298 00:48:12.780 --> 00:48:15.540 Brenna Durden (DDRB Board): So in other words, are you saying that the top level will only have the concrete? There won't be any screening at the top level? 301 00:48:24.510 --> 00:48:24.990 Jon Jay: Correct. 303 00:48:28.530 --> 00:48:31.980 Brenna Durden (DDRB Board): Okay..And and so the concrete is it solid 36 inches? 304 00:48:32.760 --> 00:48:34.110 Jon Jay: Yes, ma'am. 306 00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:38.550 Brenna Durden (DDRB Board): Okay, Okay, um, those were my only questions. The only other comment I have is that I appreciate you opening up the pedestrian areas listening to our comments and conditions from the prior approval. Thank you very much. 310 00:49:00.630 --> 00:49:01.050 Jon Jay: Thank you. 311 00:49:03.390 --> 00:49:04.590 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): All right, thank you. Let me step to Mr. Davisson. 314 00:49:18.540 --> 00:49:19.380 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): You're still on mute. 315 00:49:30.210 --> 00:49:30.930 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): We can't hear you. 317 00:49:39.150 --> 00:49:43.080 Ina Mezini (DIA Staff): I see him that's unmuted. Mr. Davisson and you might have to at the 318 00:49:45.570 --> 00:49:47.640 Ina Mezini (DIA Staff): We can't hear you. 319 00:49:47.910 --> 00:49:58.500 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): Why don't. Why don't I come back to you. I'll go to Mr Schilling, and then Mr. Loretta, and then Mr. Jones, and we'll come back if you want to try to dial in for audio. 320 00:49:59.640 --> 00:50:04.050 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): And we'll just wait for you for a second. So I'll go to Mr. I want you to Mr. Schilling next. 321 00:50:05.040 --> 00:50:15.060 Bill Schilling (DDRB Board): Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just real quickly. I want to echo the thoughts of my fellow board members and thanking the applicant as a part of this modification of incorporating some of the some of the changes that y'all have to respond to the comments that have been made. And beyond that, I have no further questions or comments. Thank you. 323 00:50:27.060 --> 00:50:27.930 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): All right. Thank you. 324 00:50:29.160 --> 00:50:30.270 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): Then Mr Loretta 326 00:50:33.480 --> 00:50:38.370 Joe Loretta (DDRB Board): Yep. I am in alignment with everybody. I think the pedestrian realm turned out pretty well and look forward to the project moving forward. no further comments. 328 00:50:49.380 --> 00:50:49.890 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): All right. 329 00:50:52.500 --> 00:50:53.670 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): Mr. Jones. 330 00:50:55.500 --> 00:50:56.880 Fred Jones: Thank you. Can you hear me. 331 00:50:57.270 --> 00:50:57.780 Christian Harden: We can. 332 00:50:58.950 --> 00:51:03.690 Fred Jones: Yes, again, echoing the sentiments of the board great presentation. Really appreciate the treatments done from a pedestrian standpoint shades, a big concern of mine, using the appropriate shade trees. The one question I did have for staff was, I know that. 334 00:51:14.040 --> 00:51:21.570 Fred Jones: Now as we're moving into the one way to two way conversions. What does the schedule because I think that's probably going to add a tremendous amount of influence to the pedestrian safety in terms of two waying. Is there a timeframe for which we're going to see Monroe and Adams towards this area. I know the focus is around the retail core, but just trying to see if that's on the plan is to to way the streets as well here around JEA. 337 00:51:42.780 --> 00:51:50.400 GParola: Through the chair. That's a, that's a great question. Adam Street and for Forsyth street right we're going to be the emphasis for two way streets right now. We are actually going to go through public works and hopefully get to the professional services evaluation committee hopefully next week. As a matter of fact, not next week, then the week after with a design RFP to convert Adams and Foryth street to two ways. We're hoping that by construction period, you know, two years, maybe, and that's just a Back of the Napkin but I think if your overall point is the fact that they're they're adding wide sidewalks here and and the board put a whole lot of time into focusing on Adams street the pedestrian experience, then yeah I mean accomplishments. The two waying quite well. 341 00:52:35.130 --> 00:52:36.420 Fred Jones: That's all I have. Thank you. 342 00:52:38.640 --> 00:52:40.020 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): All right. Thank you, Mr. Jones. 343 00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:42.090 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): Do we have Mr. Davisson? 344 00:52:43.860 --> 00:52:44.700 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): No? Okay. 345 00:52:46.680 --> 00:52:49.380 Ina Mezini (DIA Staff): I just sent him an email that kind of shows the little settings at the bottom. He might have to just select this microphone and that might be the issue. 348 00:52:58.530 --> 00:53:00.720 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): Let's give him just a few minutes to look at that. 349 00:53:05.940 --> 00:53:08.430 Brent Allen (DDRB Board): Mr. Chairman, this is Brent Allen. Can you hear me. 350 00:53:08.910 --> 00:53:12.000 Christian Harden (DDRB Chair): Oh I'm sorry, Mr. Allen. I did not know your president, I apologize. 351 00:53:12.540 --> 00:53:23.880 Brent Allen (DDRB Board): No, that's, that's okay.
