I'm going to go ahead and reconvene our meeting. It's 5 o'clock, and Mr. Clerk, what's the first item on the agenda? Mr. Chair, the first item on the agenda is under public hearings, Z-26-00002, adoption of a large-scale land use amendment for rural agriculture to UF Gulf Institutional. All right, and the recommended action is to adopt the ordinance approving the request of land use amendment. Mr. Brewington, welcome. Mr. Chair, good evening. Jerry Brewington, senior planner, Alachua County Department of Growth Management. For the record, this item has been properly advertised, and proof of publication has been provided to the clerk. One small housekeeping item, there was an additional comment after we submitted the agenda item. It's very brief, but we give you all the comments, so that's right up on a sheet of paper in front of you. And that's the housekeeping item. Mr. Chair, this first item is the adoption hearing for the Z-26-00002. This is actually the adoption of the text amendments and map amendments associated with this item. The presentation, Mr. Chair, is the same as before. I don't say I'm going to do the Cliff Notes version, but I'm going to do the abbreviated version. If you didn't even do Cliff Notes anymore, I don't. Sounds good. I have no idea. I don't know Cliff, and I don't read his notes. I don't read his notes. I will say also, for the record, Commissioner Prizia had two small changes to the text. If you see your staff report, those were included in the transmittal document and have been included in the ordinance that you will be approving, hopefully, tonight. With that, that should do it. I'm just going to go through these, again, in fairly short order. And, of course, if there's any questions, we do have staff here to answer those questions. Again, the board accepted Hickory Sink Special Area Study in November of 23. The resolution included conditions to include a UF golf as part of Phase 1. It also identified conservation areas for potential future development and also provided specific direction on the protection of resources within the SAS. That also called for a large-scale comp plan amendment, which you're hearing tonight, create a new future land use designation, in this case, UF golf institutional, and to create policies to implement the Hickory Sink Special Area Study, also which you will be approving if you approve the ordinance this evening. There are three portions of the SAS, or Special Area Study, the 580 acres of which the UF Foundation is the owner and which is purposed for use as a golf facility with a subject with accessory uses therein. Lands west of Parker Road, which is owned by IFAS and which is not the subject of any of these hearings. And then lands south of the golf course, which are retained under the Lee family ownership. The property is located south of Oakmont and west of Hale. You can see it there. It is east of Parker Road and, again, south of Oakmont, west of Hale, very easily to discern on the site map. An aerial map shows the property. You can see Hale Plantation off to the right and Oakmont to the north. The property presently has a rural agriculture land use designation. The board did approve a series of conditions with the SAS for future incorporation as policies, goals, and objectives in the plan. The present request was initiated by UF Foundation as a first step toward eventual development of the 580 acres as a golf course. And staff are also proposing some additional policies and goals that address the SAS as a whole. So they have these policies in general, 8.6.1 through 8.6.4, which deal with the SAS or Special Area Study, and then 8.6.5 policies which deal with the UF golf course property in particular. We've been through the previous special area planning process. This started in 2020. It's not culminating yet, but this is the next phase in 2026. And this includes adoption of this ordinance, which would have policies and map changes related to the SAS and the UF golf institutional portion of the property. You can see on this map the mapped Hickory Sink Strategic Ecosystem and an area pointing toward where the UF proposed golf facilities will be. So we have this in sections, Mr. Chair. The first one is proposed map change. It is the adoption of the map for the Hickory Sink Special Area Study, and it would be identified in the comp plan as map F17, and it will look like this. This is the whole or the entirety of the Hickory Sink Special Area Study, noting those conservation management areas within these properties. So you can see that is the map that will actually be adopted as part of this ordinance and is included in the ordinance. There will also be proposed map changes to the specific 580 acres related to UF golf. It will have a UF golf institutional land use designed specifically for that site, and this is the land use change that will occur. We are not adopting this as a separate map, but it will be incorporated into the overall land use map for the county as UF golf institutional on parcel 4492-1-1. Lastly, Mr. Chair, there's proposed text amendments. Some of these deal with the SAS as a whole, and that's 8.6.1 through 8.6.4. And then there's also sub-policies that address UF golf parcels specifically, and that is 8.6.5. So we have a mixture, and I won't go through these in detail, but just in general, there are policies that designate the conservation management area in 8.6.4. There are policies in 8.6.5 that address extension of potable water and sanitary sewer. There are others that address conservation and landscaping, and again, you can see the specific citations in the slide. Nutrient management, that BMPs or best management practices will be developed, and we'll talk about more about that in the PD presentation to follow this one, as well as a water quality management plan. I won't go through these in detail, but again, each one of these talks about a specific area related to permanent protection. In this case, it's 8.6.4, and it goes into detail about the conservation easements that will be done, conservation area management plan will be submitted, and referenced in the conservation easement. So again, that is what is in 8.6.4 under permanent protection. In 8.6.5, we get into the specific policies related to UF Golf Institutionals. These will address such things as permitted uses, the extension of water and sewer into this area to allow for connection to municipal services outside of the urban cluster line. They will also address, other policies will address in 8.6.5, things such as water conservation with a maximum irrigation allowance. And again, Mr. Dawson spoke about this previously at the transmittal hearing. With primary water sources being stormwater and reclaimed water, well and potable will be used only as a backup in case of conditions. Landscaping in 8.6.5e, the use of fertilizer only on golf, play turf, and event lawn areas. And then we get into, Mr. Chair, consistency with our comp plan. One key element that we have to address is the extension of potable water and sewer outside of the urban cluster line. And that is done through policies 3.1.5 and 3.1.6 of the water and sewer element, or potable water and sanitary sewer element. The allowance for water services to the site, especially the reclaimed water for irrigation purposes, will serve to protect the aquifer by minimizing well use. And again, that is the justification for the extension of water services outside of the urban cluster line. That, in a nutshell, the CLIPS version, Mr. Chair, is the recommendation of staff that Florida Commerce has reviewed the proposed request under the expedited review process. They provided no comments, and that is in your packet. All the comment letters were provided in your backup materials. Staff does recommend that the commission find the application consistent with the Alachua County Comprehensive Plan, and that they adopt the ordinance approving the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment, which will include the proposed map changes and the new policy language that is contained therein. That is staff's presentation, Mr. Chair, but we are all here to answer any questions you may have. Okay, thank you, Mr. Brewington. Commissioner Alford? I move staff's recommendation. Second. I have motion and a second. Any further questions or comments for the staff? Okay. Any public comments to the motion on the floor? Come on up. Yeah, we've got a light system. The way that works is if you'll just introduce yourself, and then you'll have three minutes. The green means go. Yellow means 30 seconds, and red means the person behind you is ready to talk. Or not. Good evening, Chairman Cornell and members of the commission. I'm Phyllis Sarnon. I live at 10237 Southwest 52nd Avenue in Chickasaw Way of Hale Plantation, which is immediately east of the project under consideration. I have lived in Alachua County since 1990 and have been honored to serve on multiple committees for the county. I thank the county growth management and other staff who have spent many, many hours or weeks refining the conditions of the proposed land use amendment and comprehensive land use plan amendment. I appreciate that a large portion of the land area will be protected for conservation purposes. I have three questions. I understand that golf course irrigation will use reclaimed water, as he just said. Obviously, that's correct. Second question. Do land use conditions of the developed area of the golf course include protecting the groundwater, not only in regard to limiting or prohibiting aquifer withdrawals, but also limiting the quantity and chemical composition of fertilizers and pest control chemicals. And thirdly, in many of my neighbors, and not just in Chickasaw Way, but in other nearby subdivisions that, neighborhoods that empty on to Southwest 46th Boulevard, what enforcement conditions will ensure that the planned extension of Southwest 46th Boulevard will stay as a paved path and not change to street vehicles? That is a major concern of all of our neighborhoods. Okay, Phyllis, we'll get those questions answered for you. Thank you very much. I appreciate the opportunity. Yeah, thank you for your comments and for all your service to the county. Okay, next speaker, please. Anybody else? All right, we'll go ahead and close public comment. We'll bring it back to the board. Jerry, you want to take a shot at answering those? Actually, Mr. Chair, EPD is here, and I will be much more able to answer the groundwater questions, so I'll defer to them. Sorry. Stacey Greco, Water Resources, Program Manager with EPD. There is a nutrient management plan. Stacey, can you pull down that? Yes. Thank you. There is a nutrient management plan outlined in the BMP, which I believe is in your packet, so they will be monitoring all of the nutrients, including what's in the reclaimed water that they will be using, and there is a robust monitoring plan, quarterly monitoring for the first three years, and then quarterly monitoring every third year, and that is for nutrients, pesticides, a whole suite of parameters that will be then, so that's groundwater and surface water, and looking at the karst windows there that will be shared with the County Environmental Protection Department on an annual basis, and then it did build into it adaptive management, that if we're seeing concerns with that monitoring data, that then the practices of managing the golf course will have to be reevaluated with the county and with the golf course manager. Okay, and we'll get the answer to the road from someone different. To answer the other question, there is a particular policy, which is Policy J in your background, in the backup materials. Vehicular access to the site shall be from Southwest 122nd Street and Parker Road. Conceptual points, number, and management, number, location, proposed crossings of the conservation area, and carts will be determined through the PD access. Yes, bicycle and pedestrian access, but no vehicular access may be provided to the southeast corner of the property abutting hailplanes. So we actually may create a policy for that. One of the policies is in it, yes. Yeah, so I have a request for our public works staff, and I don't know if my colleagues will agree with this request, but I don't know, maybe it was six or seven years ago we made public works put future road signs on all roads that may have future roads. This would be a request that we actually take that sign down at that location. I thought we'd already asked that. I think we might have, but this is kind of a form. Do my colleagues agree with that? I do. I see Ramon in the back, and I see him shaking his head. All right, Phyllis, we're going to get that sign down because I think that's probably the source of a lot of the neighbors. And, you know, we talk about, oh, we have a policy, but they ride their bike and say, when's the road going in? So Ramon has said he's going to shake, and if you don't see it down in about a week, you just go ahead and take it. No, don't do that. He'll take care of it. All right. Commissioner Wheeler, did you have a comment? I have a request. Okay. I would like very much to be introduced to the folks who are representing the UF golf course so we know who our neighbors are. You guys are in the community living with us, and I don't know who you are. And it would be nice to have a face with the university. All right. So, Mr. Clements? No, you don't want to do that introduction? All right. All right. We have a request. No, there's a group of you that are here, right? Yeah, and we're going to hear from them at the next item, and I think that's when we're going to hear. Okay. Well, that's fine. As long, you know, I just want to know who our neighbors are. Yeah. We've been working on this project for eight years now, you know, and I just would like to know who we're handing this over to. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Okay. Thank you, Commissioner. All right. Any other questions on the motion? All those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? All right. That motion passes unanimously. All right. Next up, we've got the quasi-judicial hearing, where we're going to do some stuff from the attorney, do some ex parte, get sworn in, and then we're going to have some introductions of some folks in the audience. All right. Mr. Attorney? Florida law requires that your decision in a quasi-judicial hearing be based off of competent substantial evidence. That requires individuals who come and speak to be sworn in and to provide a written record of whatever they're testifying to. The board's decision has to be based off of competent substantial evidence, meaning that there is enough credible evidence that a reasonable person could agree based off the information that was presented in the hearing. Opinion testimony may be given by people qualified to give such an opinion. At the appropriate time, the clerk or chair will ask for persons other than staff or the applicant who wish to participate as a party. A party is somebody who is more directly or substantially affected than a member of the public at large. At this time, I don't believe we have any party requests, but there is an opportunity in your rules for someone to request party status at the hearing. Is there anybody in the audience seeking party status at this time? Mr. Chair, if we can inquire of each commissioner, if you've received any ex parte communications involving the item, and if so, please disclose those, Commissioner. This is only for the golf course, right? Yeah, and not since it's had an application. The application, I did meet with the members of the UF team several times just to talk about the conceptual plans around the golf course ahead of the application. This hearing? I have not, but early on, I did have meetings with the university in reference to the golf course in terms of their proposed conceptual process. I don't know if that's – I've had continuous conversations with Val and Lewis Lee over the course, but not anything that would impact this. Yeah, I have, too, with Val – well, not with Val, with Lewis, and I have also with members of the folks out there. Actually, we've had a couple of meetings. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. All right. And anybody wishing to address this item? So if you're wishing to speak, if you will please stand and be sworn at this time. Do you swear or affirm any testimony about the gift will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? I do. Okay. All right. That's right. Go ahead. Mr. Chair, the second item is Z26-0000004. For the record, I have been sworn a copy of my resume is on file. My name is Jerry Brewington, Senior Planner with the Alachua County Department of Growth Management, and a copy of this advertisement for this item was properly advertised, and proof of publication has been provided to the clerk. This, Mr. Chair, is the PD zoning district that implements that land use change that you just approved. We have a land use change on record now, but we need an implementing zoning district to make the nuts and bolts of it, if you will, come to life. And that's the PD zoning district that you will see as part of this application. The site is the same 580 acres. It is, again, the aerial is the same. Nothing's changed. But what we have now, Mr. Chair, is an agriculture zoning district that is based on the previous land use of rural ag. We now, because we have this new land use, we have to have an implementing zoning district that matches it. And in this case, it's going to be a planned development. That PD can come with conditions, and which we do have some, which we will discuss. And it comes also with a zoning master plan, and also some other materials, which we'll get into in a second. But that's all encompassed in the resolution for this particular item, Z2607, and we will talk about that now. The adopted future land use for this parcel is now UF Golf Institutional, once the ordinance is signed. It has a particular policies that we must implement through a zoning classification. In this case, it's going to be a plan development, or PD. That PD will have associated conditions, zoning master plan, and best management practices associated with that. The land use amendment associated with this request is UF Golf Institutional. That same application that you just heard provided policy language incorporated into our future land use element of the plan under our special area study policy section, which is 0.8.6. In order to implement the new land use map designation and adopted policies, we have to do a zoning district, and that is what the PD is here for. Therefore, the applicant has submitted an implementing zoning district for PD. If approved, we will have a zoning master plan, and we will also have best management practices, all wrapped up in one resolution, that will serve as the implementing instrument for the zoning for this property. Staff took a look at the proposal, and we have come up with a consistency analysis based on our comprehensive plan. We have analyzed the request for consistency with those policies in the plan related to proposed zoning changes. One of those is review of the level of service standards in the capital improvement element. This indicates that no level of service standards adopted in the plan for traffic, for solid waste, for recreation, the other areas associated with level of service standards will be exceeded by this request. Further, there are in policy 7.1.2, four factors, consistency with the plan as a whole, availability of infrastructure, relationship to the surrounding development, and the range of densities allowed for in a particular land use classification that we must consider in any rezoning request. Staff review shows that the proposed zoning request is consistent with or maintains the criteria identified in policy 7.1.2 of your future land use element. Mr. Chair, we also look at consistency with our Unified Land Development Code, or ULDC, and specifically in Section 402.77, there are a set of criteria for considering in any zoning request. Some of these are similar to those found in the policy 7.1.2 of the plan, and these deal with factors such as compatibility, impacts to surrounding uses, consistency with the land use, access and maintaining the public health, safety, and welfare. Again, staff have analyzed those. You will find the more detailed analysis within your staff report, but we find that the proposed zoning request is consistent with approval criteria found in 402.77 of our Unified Land Development Code. Mr. Chair, as noted, there will be a zoning master plan. This is shown in your staff report. It is included in the resolution, and it is attached. This will be adopted as part of the resolution for this PD approval. It looks like this. It's hard to detail. We actually have large format ones or on the computer where you can see them better, but it generally looks like this. This is the zoning master plan. It details a variety of things, including things like buffers, transportation areas, how to get on and off the property, where conservation management areas can be traversed, access points. A number of details are found in a zoning master plan, and again, this is being adopted as part of this PD. So we attach it to it, and it is adopted as part of it. It gives, again, things like accessory structure setbacks, building setbacks, and other data that is pertinent to the development of the parcel. Mr. Chair, we've also included in this one, and this is why your resolution is a little bit longer than it normally would be, a series of best management practices, and we have our environmental protection staff on hand to explain any of these that you wish, but there's basically five different best management plans or practices, I should say, attached to your resolution. The first one has to do with stormwater management, and that is an outcome of condition 13 of the special area studies, and this identifies specific low-impact development techniques that will be used in stormwater management, but that is one set of best management practices. The second one, Mr. Chair, is nutrient management and water quality. Again, this does things like limits nitrogen, including such in reclaimed water, and requires surface and ground water monitoring, like Stacey just talked about, and management changes if targets are not met. So, again, we have a series of best management practices related to water quality and nutrient management. The third one is landscaping. It limits the amount of supplemental irrigation. It requires Florida-friendly and native plants, and it prohibits mineral fertilizer on non-golf landscape areas after they are established. The fourth best management practice has to do with natural resources, and it requires the avoidance of fragmentation of the habitat. It tries to keep it as whole as best possible, and it requires establishing natural resources and karst management practices. Lastly, Mr. Chair, conservation management area BMPs establishes standards for vegetation, fuels, and wildlife management, ensures protection of these CMAs consistent with our plan and code, and it requires permanent protection of the conservation management areas. So, all five of those BMPs are attached as part of the resolution. They will be incorporated therein if you approve it. With that, Mr. Chair, again, we have staff here to answer any specific questions, but staff recommends that the board find the application consistent with the comprehensive plan and unified land development code. We recommend that the commission adopt a resolution Z-2607, which is inclusive of the attached zoning master plan and best management practices, approving the request with the conditions and bases as noted in the staff report. And that, Mr. Chair, concludes staff presentation unless there's any questions. Okay, any questions, Commissioner, before we hear from the applicant? Okay, no lights, no questions. You're up, you're up. Thank you, Mr. Brewington. It's been a bit, and we're finally here. Yeah, here we are. Chair Cornell, Vice Chair Parizia, good to see everybody, commissioners. I'm Tyler Matthews with England Tims & Miller. We serve, Commissioner Wheeler, as engineers and planners on this project. Would love to introduce the rest of my team, and I'll be very brief. We have a lot of slides that we can go through and answer any questions. I think staff did a fabulous job hitting the details. As far as introducing the team, which I would like to do, along with me today, I have, obviously, Mr. Clemmons representing the university, as well as T.R. Hainline from Rogers Tower serving as the land use counsel. Who's that? Who's that? T.R., right here. Oh, thank you. And then two of my business partners, Dallas Schreier and Lindsay Hager. Dallas will be lead engineer on the project, or civil engineer, sorry to be specific. And Lindsay Hager serving as lead planner. So she's been the one most iterating with staff along with counsel. And then, obviously, Coach J.C. Deacon here representing the athletic department. Thank you. And then Steve Smyers, who's our lead golf architect. And so he's the one iterating the most with me and Dallas on design. And then Dr. Brian Unroh from IFAS, who has been leading the charge from IFAS, specifically around golf course BMPs. And so glad to be your neighbor. Thank you. Absolutely. Are you local? I live in Jacksonville. So 90 minutes up the road. That's okay. Yeah. Not too far. I mean, I guess I would say staff did a fabulous job walking through the presentation. We have a lot of details. We get hit. I probably will just use this slide, which would be it's been a journey since 2020. And then the vote in 2023 to the vote here this evening. And so thank you for all of your consideration and feedback over that six-year window. And thank you for staff for the thorough iteration back and forth on many conditions and BMPs, et cetera. I have a lot of slides. I would happily answer any questions. But if not, Mr. Chair, I'll step aside. Why don't we just do questions? Commissioner Prisley and then Commissioner Alford. And I've got a couple of questions. Yeah. Just one question. And that is, you know, we've been having a lot of concern. Like the few concerns that have been brought to me by the public primarily revolve around water. They brought up the water quality conditions, and I think our staff have done an excellent job in collaboration with your team of coming up with a monitoring plan that will help ensure that the nutrients you're using on-site stay on-site. I believe so. That your money is not wasted on nutrients and our environment is not impacted by them. But I did also have quite a few questions about water quantity and the fact that, you know, being in such a severe drought, we're seeing the watering restrictions happening. Absolutely. Just wanting to understand, in addition to sort of reclaim water, will there be any potable water irrigation use on-site? Yeah. So let me click to a slide real quick that helps answer that question, which is this slide. So the basic stormwater strategy, or excuse me, the basic irrigation strategy is as follows on the screen, which really, let's just go to the graphic on the right, which is we'll have a handful of small ponds on-site that will be lined, effectively consider them a basin to hold water. And we will pipe into it reuse from GRU. Thank you. And then obviously our stormwater will be channelized there. It's our goal that between stormwater and reuse that that is totally satisfying the irrigation needs. We have quite extensive irrigation requirements on quantity in the best management plans. And then effectively, as the BMPs are written, the only augmenting of that would be in the scenario where GRU can't give us what we need based on the requirements in the BMPs, then you could trigger well or potable. And will the entire site be irrigated? Will you just be irrigating? No. We are limited to acreage we can irrigate, to percentage irrigation coverage. There's obviously also landscape BMPs. Right. And so we have all the Florida-friendly and Florida-native species. And then also in the BMPs, we have buffer requirements, as shown here. Excuse me, not buffers, limits of disturbance, kind of like a buffer. They're different. And this is where, I mean, you kind of the perception that golf goes in just clear cuts is not this type of course. We'll have very specific limits of disturbance lines. And then outside of those limits of disturbance, our kind of limitations are very clear in the conditions as far as what we're allowed to do and what we're not allowed to do. So all of those things will reduce the water quantity demand. Great. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Thank you. Commissioner? Commissioner Alford? Yes. Thank you. Besides the environmental concerns, the other concern that I've heard a lot about, other than just development, is about the increased traffic on Archer Road. Now, of course, that's mostly going to be due to the other development, not the golf course, but many folks in the public are, it's all just one thing, right? So I'm asking if the UF will use their considerable political influence to move forward the funding and planning and construction of the four-lanning of Archer Road. I know that's not something you can answer, it's not a condition that we can attach, but it's just an ask. And I think that it's something that you all are probably looking forward to, but I told the public I would ask, so I'm asking. Absolutely. Yeah, and I think, thank you for the ask. I mean, obviously, from this project's perspective, our traffic is incredibly slow. Yeah, I understand. And then we're definitely aligned that as state dollars and other sources can come in and help enhance the county's infrastructure, we both share that goal. Okay, thank you. Yeah, yes, ma'am. Okay, we're going to pause real quick for public comment at 530. I don't think you even have to sit down, because I don't think there's anyone here. Is there anyone here to speak at public comment that is not related to this item? Going once, going twice, we're going to close public comment. Okay, Commissioner, so I'll look for a motion. I guess I did, I wanted to say one other thing, and it's not related to the motions. I'm happy to move staff's recommendation. Second. Okay, motion and second. All right. I did want to just say a quick thing to Coach Deacon, and that is we are working really hard on West End Park, and I don't know if you've been following those conversations, but the folks who surround West End are longtime golfers, many of them, because they moved there, because it was a PD with a golf course. And the golf course is now turning into a wonderful park for the community, but they have really pushed hard for golf amenities to be included in our park. That isn't something that we can afford to do or to manage as a county with our limited resources, but we are going to be exploring the opportunity of putting out a public request for proposals for a public-private partnership that could allow golfing facilities and amenities on that site. And certainly, I know we have a lot of kids through the Junior Golf Association and other groups that have been really wanting that site so that they can work with the kids on their skills and to have intergenerational opportunities for families in the area to be able to golf together. So I just wanted to bring that to your attention so you all can spread the word amongst our golfing friends and partners about that goal, and stay tuned for more information about that. Yeah, thank you for bringing that up, Commissioner Prizia. West End is a special place in my heart when I was three or four, and I was being brainwashed for Doug Dickey football games. I think I told the story I wasn't allowed to apply anywhere else but UF, but my dad was taking me out to West End and teaching me how to swing a golf club. God rest his soul, he died 10 years ago at 75, and I never beat him to the day he died. I mean, he was a one or two golfer, scratch golfer. Okay, Commissioner Wheeler? Yeah, quick question. The Hale Pedestrian and Bike Access Parker Road, does that go through around how? So is that part then open to the public? I mean, what you're saying, that route, if you could show me. Let me get one. Because I know the golf course is not open to the public. That's right. So I'm trying to understand how that's working. Absolutely. Yeah, and so I guess would love to explain that. This definitely does align, too, with what staff just read as far as the condition from the SAS. Right. That specifically called out. That little piece. Yes, ma'am. And that is where this language comes over, and it might be hard to read on the screen, but I'll read it to you. Yeah, thank you. The text here on the bottom right, it says service emergency, pedestrian access only, no automobile traffic, no construction access. So the vision of that was, as we worked with staff and as we looked at the county's pedestrian master plan, there was a desire to move the pedestrians long-term from Hale on our east and Oakmont on our north and connect them to Parker, which is what you see here in the dotted line. That is the dotted line around our perimeter. And so the vision is, and the PD map shows it, I can flip back there if you'd like to. I'm sorry, I'm, there we go. So this box here in the middle is the cross section that shows you what that trail looks like. And so here, hold on, I'm going to click back slides again. So that dotted line, the vision is that effectively we have a pedestrian multi-use path that's running our eastern and northern perimeter, as you see here in the dotted line, that connects to Parker. Okay, the perimeter. So is there anything that would, is there going to be a fence or something that would prevent people from actually going on to that property? So we have the right but not the obligation to fence it. And to some extent that will depend on how much, back to the land disturbance and the clearing requirements, if there's already heavily vegetation and if the gulf isn't coming that close to the trail, we might not fence it. And so really it's going to become a security and access question as we develop the facility. So we worked a lot with staff on what's the fencing and how's that work with the environmental sensitivity. But the vision would be, we have a multi-use path that's running around our perimeter. It would meander slightly. Yes, ma'am, and that, call that the boundary. I see. And then we also have committed to some pedestrian trail access within the CMA, as shown here on the southern area. And so in addition to the perimeter trail, we were going to give the public access to part of the CMA because it's preserved land. It would be great to have a trail network. That's wonderful. Yeah, it likely, it will likely run a lot of the existing trail roads that Val and Lewis maintained. And so in that regard, I think it would be a great asset to the community. Obviously, you know, it complements our use. It adds public access for the community. I think it's a win-win. And we, UF, don't have the legal right to connect to Hale here on the bottom right. We've talked before about that right-of-way issue. Our intention is we're building a multi-use path around the perimeter. It's my hope that the Hale HOA with the golf course access right there can figure out a way to tie in and connect to us. But we don't have a legal way to force them to connect. Sure, sure. Okay, thank you. I'm confident the pedestrians will figure it out. Thank you. Okay. They normally do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they have. I believe that. They figured out West End before we started doing stuff. Well, it's like on campus, all the places where there's no sidewalk and there's a worn path. Yeah, that's right. You know where to lay the sidewalks based on where the paths are. Absolutely. So my only comment is, again, I just want to thank UF. You know, this goes back a couple of years. You didn't have to go through this process. You could have very easily put it into your master plan, but you chose to do that, and we have been able to, working with our staff, establish some best management practices, a zoning master plan, and really, I think it's a model for how intergovernments can work together. And how UF has just been a great partner of the counties and how much I appreciate just the whole process. So thank you for that. Mr. Chair, the only thing I would add, and it's on the very bottom of here, obviously we're here, the very bottom bar, we're here June 9th, seeking adoption of the PD. We'll be back in front of you all for the preliminary development plan this fall with workshops this summer. So you're not done with me yet. No, I know. I know. And then we'll adopt it. We look forward to the full plan. Yeah, the full plan. All right. Any further discussion? All right. Is there anyone from the public who wants to speak to the motion on the floor? Okay. Once, come, twice. Bring it back to the board. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Aye. All opposed? The motion is unanimous. Thank you, Mr. Matthews. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Okay. Commissioners, I think that's it. I don't think we have anything else on the agenda. So with that, I appreciate you all, and we are adjourned.
