PUBLIC COMMENTS - None at this time 5. REPORTS Page 1City of Edgewater Printed on 6/21/2019 4 June 5, 2019Economic Development Board Meeting Minutes a. Economic Development Director's Report Economic Development Director, Samantha Bergeron shared with the board that the marina was discussed at the last City Council meeting and will have its second reading July 1, 2019. She reminded the board that the marina is in their "CEDS" - Comprehensive Economic Development Strategic Plan, as a means of utilizing the waterfront, part of the CRA plan (Community Redevelopment) and part of the Future Land Use Plan. Ms. Bergeron reported that the marina has already been in existence for over 50 years and the proposed use of Boston Road is similar to Canal Street in New Smyrna, where businesses use existing city owned right of way for parking. In the marina agreement, the developer will help develop and pave Boston Road's right of way, provide for stormwater to assist with flooding on the adjacent property and perpetually maintain this paved right of way that will continue to be owned by the City. The developer is asking for a change in the zoning to allow for the restaurant which is designed to be affordable, family friendly dining, catering to locals, right on the river in Edgewater with 156 seats and 56 or 59 parking spaces. The building will have old Florida style landscaping, with hardie board siding and metal roof. The developer is also seeking a Contract of Use for the Boston Road right of way. A certain number of parking spaces are required in order for the restaurant to be approved and the property is several spaces short. Utilizing the Boston Road right of way provides sufficient spaces. Marcia Barnett stated the importance of factual information being presented to Council along with personal emotional appeals. She thought it sounded like the City was giving the right of way to the restaurant. She also noted that the land owners who spoke against the marina project, currently have, and are making use of, the same right of way availability as the marina is requesting, maintain code violations on their own property and are trying to liquidate their property. Ms. Barnett also inquired about the legality of denying the marina project, at this point. Ms. Bergeron stated that at the time of purchase, the marina was still a business in operation, people had boats moored at its docks and the developer has already done much clean-up work, rectifying code violations by tearing down the existing structure, with plans to rebuild and old boats that were near sinking were removed along with old docks. Ms. Bergeron moved on to speak about Team Volusia leads. They have shown more properties and have had movement with properties along US1 and inside the opportunity zone as well as with PUD agreements and development orders that have been on file since before the recession. Potential projects include student dorms for the Northwest Linemen's College, workforce pricing or subsidized housing. Other developments that have been approved contain single housing and townhomes along with upper scale housing. These projects should begin breaking ground in the next couple of years. Page 2City of Edgewater Printed on 6/21/2019 5 June 5, 2019Economic Development Board Meeting Minutes b. Space Commerce Supply Chain - Bryce Report Ms. Bergeron presented the Bryce Report and shared that the County received a grant allowing Bryce, a consultant, to talk to companies involved in the Space Commerce Supply Chain to discover what they are looking for and what their needs are. She said this information shows the Southeast Volusia Marketing Initiative is on track in what they are focusing on and trying to accomplish by targeting smaller component manufacturers. She also learned that a lot of supply chain commerce is home grown, coming from entrepreneurs who are in a business that may already work with composites or components and could add to their product lines. Dan Klasel spoke to the Bryce Report's focus on first and second tier suppliers, where he thinks we may need to focus on second and third tier suppliers. Also, Edgewater's geographical location within the triangle area that has been discussed, is beneficial but not directly correlated to pulling in the first or second tier since technology is not necessarily tied to any distance. He said we need to promote what we already have here. Just recently, Mr. Klasel learned that Dougherty has the largest water jet table in the country. He is working with Dougherty to get a capabilities line sheet that he can share around. He suggested that promoting what we already have is equally important to new second and third tier imports. AR-2019-4145 Bryce Report 3-27-2019Attachments: Page 3City of Edgewater Printed on 6/21/2019 6 June 5, 2019Economic Development Board Meeting Minutes c. Southeast Volusia Chamber of Commerce Report Sue Williams of the Southeast Volusia Chamber of Commerce said the Bryce Report indicates that the Southeast Volusia Marketing Initiative is on the right track. Bliss Jamison stated that an initiative is an effort and Ms. Williams continued on to say that SEVMI is changing their name to SEVMT - Southeast Volusia Marketing and Technology Coalition because it is not an effort anymore; It is what they are doing. Ms. Jamison added that the name change came about because so many people still confused Southeast Volusia Marketing Initiative with tourism and retail and big box and Southeast Volusia Ad Authority. The Chamber is working with Z-Graph, who also handles websites for Team Volusia, Volusia County, Board of Realtors and the Chamber, in order to push the SEVMT website out to social media. Ms. Williams showed the Livability website, advertising with them would be a next step for SEVMT after promoting the website via social media. Livability Magazine is available both print and digital format. It is distributed locally and internationally at trade shows and target markets. The Chamber has also obtained bids for local video companies to create promotional videos for the website. Ms. Jamison pointed out that the "next steps" that Ms. Williams speaks of are part of the Strategic Marketing Plan approved by the Economic Development Board many years ago. Ms. Williams shared that the Chamber Alliance will be holding their annual Mega Mixer at Embry Riddle on Thursday from 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. Senator Tom Wright will be speaking this month at the Yacht Club. And finally the Growing Your Business with Google workshop that was held at the Chamber was so well attended, a second one will be held. 6.
