Myrtle Street work prompts closure As work on Myrtle Street con- tinues, residents should plan an alternate route. Construction on the Myrtle Street improvement project be- gan Monday and will run through June 5. During that time, Myrtle Street will be closed from Central Avenue to North Orange Avenue. Local businesses, pedestrians and emergency vehicles will have access up to the Seminole Gulf Railroad crossing. The Myrtle Street improve- ment project is being done in phases. This phase, phase 2B, is expected to be complete by the end of 2020. Construction cost for this phase is approximately $3 million. WHAT’S HAPPENING SARASOTA OBSERVER | THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2020 3A YourObserver.com DAVID CONWAY DEPUTY MANAGING EDITOR During a Q&A session on sprawl and growth in Sarasota on Jan. 28, urban planner Andrew Georgiadis called the site of Bath & Racquet Fitness Club one of the city’s most logical for dense, mul- tifamily housing. Georgiadis, who worked for the city during a failed effort to write a form-based zoning code, acknowledged people often see higher residential density near their homes as problematic. But he said the fear is misguided and that denser development in the right space can be beneficial. He said concentrating housing near amenities, such as schools and grocery stores, helps reduce driving. So does building housing in a smaller urban space, rather than a more sprawling suburban setting where residents will likely travel into town anyway. And he said it was logical to put multi- family housing near a commer- cial corridor, transitioning from more-intense business activity to lower-density housing. Bath & Racquet Club, located near Trader Joe’s southeast of U.S. 41 and Bee Ridge Road, ticked all those boxes. That’s why, when the City Commission voted Monday to reject a proposal to build 207 resi- dential units on the Bath & Rac- quet Club property, Georgiadis offered a withering assessment. “It says: ‘Please don’t invest in Sarasota,’” Georgiadis said. “‘Please go away. Please take good quality development elsewhere.’” Monday’s commission meet- ing marked the end of more than two years of planning on the Bath & Racquet proposal, which had drawn opposition from residents near the property who said the project was a bad fit. The pub- lic hearing showcased a number of divisions: between neighbors and Bath & Racquet Club mem- bers, between city planning staff and the city’s Planning Board and among the commission itself. In a 3-2 vote, a majority of the commission voted in favor of advancing a comprehensive plan amendment to change the future land use designation of Bath & Racquet Club, at 2170 Robinhood St. But because such an amend- ment requires a supermajority, the proposal failed and rendered a proposed plan unbuildable. After the vote, commissioners on both sides were critical of the city policies that led to Monday’s four-hour hearing. “I think it’s a flawed process,” said Mayor Jen Ahearn-Koch, who voted against the plan. “I don’t know what the process should be, but I think we’ve got to make a change to it,” said Com- missioner Liz Alpert, who sup- ported the proposal. CLASHING PHILOSOPHIES Much of Monday’s meeting cen- tered on the project’s compatibil- ity with its surroundings. Although city staff deter- mined the project was appropri- ate for the site and recommended approval, neighbors argued it was not. Despite staff determinations that the project was less intense than what is allowed under exist- ing regulations, residents who owned single-family homes remained concerned about traf- fic, building height and density. “We’ll be living in their shad- ows,” resident James Guttridge said. “They’ll be looking from great heights, 60 feet away, into our swimming pools, living rooms and bedrooms, completely remov- ing all privacy that we have had.” Ahearn-Koch said those con- cerns were legitimate. “I do not believe that it is in any way, shape or form compatible with our neighborhood chapter,” she said. She thinks it’s a red flag when a developer requests a series of changes or exceptions to regula- tions, such as a comprehensive plan amendment and a rezon- ing. Generally, she believes the city should stick with its adopted plans and deviate only when offi- cials deem appropriate at desig- nated times for amendments. “I would like to see develop- ment happen in the way where you have a piece of property, and you buy it and say: ‘Here’s the rules. Here’s what I bought. Can I do what I want to do in that?’” Ahearn-Koch said. “And if I can’t, maybe it’s an indication I shouldn’t buy it.” Alpert supported the proposal and found staff’s assessment of the project compelling. She dis- agreed with Ahearn-Koch’s phi- losophy and stated the city should be empowered to make land use decisions it feels are in the com- munity’s best interest. “That’s what you want to look at: What is the best use, rather than something someone 10 or 20 years ago thought would be a good use for it?” Alpert said. Although she understood resi- dents’ objections, she doesn’t think such concern alone war- rants rejecting a proposal. Geor- giadis suggested city leaders should be hesitant to give too much consideration to resident opposition because urban plan- ning principles often run counter to instincts. He said density is one of the least useful metrics. “I believe that we should stop claiming expertise in [an] area in which we do not have exper- tise,” Georgiadis said. “Just like I would not presume to tell an oncologist how to attack a form of cancer, I think there’s a lot of weight given to people who do not understand the complexities of the built environment.” Cathy Antunes, a resident who has been critical of growth man- agement in Sarasota, was the host of the Jan. 28 Q&A with Georgia- dis. She, too, thinks there’s an issue with local conversations about growth. She is sympathet- ic to resident worries and thinks problematic development ten- dencies in Sarasota have soured people on projects proposed near where they live. But Antunes agrees that urban infill projects like the Bath & Rac- quet plan point to a more sensi- ble, sustainable way to manage the future of the community. She believes neighborhoods can be convinced of the benefits of smart urban planning, too, if the right case is made. “It’s complicated, but it isn’t DEVELOPMENT DILEMMA when you really bring it back to people’s experiences,” Antunes said. “This is about your kids being able to stay in Sarasota. This is about being able to age in place with dignity.” A BETTER WAY Alpert noted Bath & Racquet Club had been working since 2017 on the proposal, holding voluntary meetings with residents and scal- ing down the plans in response. She asked the commission to acknowledge the effort by not outright rejecting the plan. After her appeal failed, Alpert offered a pessimistic assessment of the city’s development review procedures and the commission’s consideration of privately initi- ated community outreach. “I think people should never bother to go and work with the neighborhoods,” Alpert said. Ahearn-Koch disagreed but did agree the system as-is isn’t working. She said she has begun researching policies in other communities and spoken to city staff about the possibility of mak- ing changes in hopes of avoiding drawn-out development fights. After Monday’s meeting, Alp- ert told City Manager Tom Bar- win she was interested in hold- ing a commission workshop on the same topic. Both Alpert and Ahearn-Koch said they didn’t have any firm changes in mind, but they suggested it would be good if a developer could gauge the commission’s interest in a project earlier in the process. As officials consider poten- tial changes, would it be possible to create hard metrics assessing whether projects meet a compat- ibility standard, so there’s a better sense of what’s acceptable? “That’s the million dollar ques- tion,” Ahearn-Koch said. “I think it’s worthy of a discussion, but I’m not so sure it is.” Asked how he would address the issues he sees with the city’s development review process, Georgiadis offered a recom- mendation: Adopt a form-based zoning code with clear subplans for specific areas of the city. He believes updated rules using new urbanist principles could help define compatibility, which could then result in an authorita- tive document. Although the city abandoned its efforts to adopt a form-based code in 2019 after more than five years of work, Alpert said she was open to revisiting the concept. In September, Commissioner Hagen Brody said it might have been a mistake to move away from the form-based code effort. Whatever the solution might be, there’s a growing sentiment that the status quo is not tenable in the long term. “There must be a better way to do this because I just think it’s not fair to anybody,” Alpert said. Rejection of a contentious project after two years of planning has raised concerns about how the city handles development proposals. David Conway A common sight at City Hall: residents in color-coded shirts signifying their support for or opposition to a proposed development. City officials are inter- ested in finding a way to limit the number of drawn-out, contentious development fights in the commission chambers. Courtesy rendering The Bath & Racquet Club property proposed buildings up to five stories tall adjacent to some single-family homes, a scale residents called unac- ceptable but city planners endorsed. PROJECT DETAILS The Bath & Racquet Club owners hoped to build 207 residential units, 15% of which would be afford- able, in 10 buildings on the property. The project team said the redevelopment was necessary to create an infu- sion of revenue to preserve and revitalize the club. Had the city advanced the comprehensive plan amend- ment Monday, approval of a site plan and other develop- ment applications would have been necessary.

The commission voted 3-2 Monday against continuing a con- versation about buying the 0.55- acre site, listed for $950,000. The majority of the commission felt the acquisition, not identified in the city’s parks master plan, was not a priority. “We have this whole process that we are circumventing,” Commissioner Shelli Freeland Eddie said. Tahiti Park residents had asked the city to buy the land, so it could not be developed for commer- cial use. Residents argued such a development could negatively affect the character and safety of the neighborhood, an argument Mayor Jen Ahearn-Koch reiter- ated at Monday’s meeting. “I think what’s of particular importance in this situation is that our neighborhood only has one ingress and egress, and that lot does not have a curb cut on U.S. 41, so the only ingress and egress would be on the substan- dard Hampton Road,” she said. Ahearn-Koch is a resident of Tahiti Park and previously served as president of the neighborhood association. She recused herself from a previous vote on the topic. Because a representative for the Sarasota Bay Club said the retire- ment community might have an interest in participating in a spe- cial assessment district, the city attorney said Ahearn-Koch no longer had a conflict of interest and was free to vote Monday. Although Tahiti Park Neigh- borhood Association President Melinda Delpech said residents almost unanimously supported the proposal, she also advocated for the city to pay for up to half of the purchase price of the prop- erty, which city administration recommended against. Steve Roskamp, who is part of the management team of the Sarasota Bay Club, said he was interested in participating if it enabled him to create more park- ing for his property. A represen- tative for the Whitaker’s Landing neighborhood said residents there were divided on the proposal. Although Ahearn-Koch and Commissioner Liz Alpert vot- ed to continue researching the potential purchase, the rest of the board did not. Commission- er Hagen Brody said he was not comfortable using the city’s tax- ing authority to force residents in the area to pay for the acquisition of the property. Despite an appeal from the Tahiti Park neighborhood, the city isn’t interested in adding commercial property on U.S. 41 into Whitaker Gateway Park.

Then it was a line of orange barrels cutting off access to one of three left turn lanes at the intersection of Gulfstream Ave- nue and U.S. 41 to accommodate roundabout construction nearby at Fruitville Road. Last weekend, a half-marathon that prompted the shutdown of one side of the Ringling bridge sealed it. Traffic congestion has become the single biggest topic of conver- sation this season and the biggest source of frustration for residents. Residents, businesses and prop- erty owners on Longboat Key, St. Armands Key, Bird Key and Lido Key have expressed the same sentiment, stating construction has exacerbated the gridlock that typically comes during the busi- est time of the year. Longboat Key residents Bob and Shannon Gault sent their town an email about their expe- rience driving to the mainland for church on Sunday. After sitting near-motionless for 30 minutes, they gave up and drove home. “There is clear evidence of a total disregard for access to and from Sarasota barrier islands that is destroying and will fur- ther destroy property values,” the Gaults wrote. Diana Corrigan, executive director of the St. Armands Circle Association, said leaders in the commercial district have attempted to work with the city and the Florida Department of Transportation to share their concerns about the effects of ongoing road work. “There’s been an awful lot of construction projects going on all at one time,” Corrigan said. “It’s a lot — not just for the bar- rier islands to bear and navigate but for everyone in Sarasota.” Corrigan said there’s been some good news in her conversations with the city and state. The left turn lane on Gulfstream is set to reopen by mid-February, and the city is scheduling a 10-day side- walk project on John Ringling Causeway so daily work is com- plete by noon. But Corrigan’s isn’t only focused on what’s happening this year. Following the construc- tion of the Fruitville roundabout, the city plans to build another at Gulfstream and U.S. 41. At the request of St. Armands stake- holders, the city agreed to place utilities underground on John Ringling Causeway leading into Longboat Key. And within the next five years, the state intends to rebuild the Coon Key Bridge. Corrigan said island residents are already construction-weary, and she thinks things could get worse if there isn’t a reprieve. She wants the city and state to delay the construction of the Gulf- stream roundabout for a year or two. She knows there’s no way to avoid the issues that come with construction, and she acknowl- edges the need, but she believes a balance can be achieved. “I know that these projects aren’t going to go away,” Corri- gan said. “We just need a break, especially getting on and off the island. I think the people on Longboat and Lido and Bird Key feel exactly the same way: Just give us some breathing room for about a year.” City engineer Alex DavisShaw said the city typically works to schedule its projects for off-peak periods when possible, but the timing of projects on FDOT roads, such as U.S. 41 or John Ringling Causeway, are often influenced by state funding and coordination. Asked whether some projects could be delayed to avoid construc- tion fatigue, DavisShaw said traf- fic features including the round- abouts are designed to function in concert with one another. Once the work is done, the city believes the road network along U.S. 41 will be noticeably improved, a long- term benefit worth any shorter- term complications. DavisShaw offered up an alter- native solution to mitigating traf- fic congestion: redesigning roads to encourage the use of other forms of transportation. Davis- Shaw knows many residents are attached to their cars, but she said even a marginal increase in the number of people biking, walk- ing or using public transportation could have a noticeable effect. “If you could get 10% of the people to do something different or 10% of the people to do some- thing at a different time, it would make a difference,” she said. On Longboat, town commis- sioners said Monday they wanted to find a way for FDOT and other neighboring governments to con- sider the broader implications and effects of long-running con- struction projects. Town Commissioner Mike Haycock said the focus should be on forming a team that views Longboat a “key customer” when making decisions that affect town residents’ quality of life — ensur- ing residents can consistently get on and off the island in 30 min- utes. “I’ve been here 23 years, draw- bridges, fixed-span bridges, [and] I remember years way back when I didn’t talk about traffic with my neighbors,” Haycock said. “It just was not a point of conversation. It just seems to have gotten worse and worse and worse.” From Bird Key to Longboat Key, construction is frustrating people traveling to and from mainland Sarasota. Is there a reprieve in sight? Island residents, leaders agitate for traffic fixes Eric Garwood Traffic backups and slowdowns have been more frequent this season with road construction along U.S. 41. 6A SARASOTA OBSERVER | THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2020 YourObserver.com he Founders Club perfects the artful blend of comfort, luxury and friendships inspired by nature. Designed for a know-your-neighbors lifestyle, this special community offers onsite amenities to indulge both active and leisurely pursuits along with beautiful homes surrounded by sparkling lakes, the fairways of the Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed golf course and acres of nature preserves. At The Founders Club, opportunities for socializing aren’t something residents have to seek out. In fact, residents find their social circle growing naturally, thanks to the amenities and activities always available at the 700-acre community. Many friendships are forged over tee shots and sunken putts at The Founders Golf Club. The championship golf course appeals to both novice duffers and avid golfers at the top of their game. Inspired by traditional Scottish links courses, the 18-hole, par-72 course was created to accentuate the natural beauty of its setting. So, don’t be surprised to see folks admiring centuries-old oak trees or unspoiled wetlands as they’re lining up their shots. Another thing of beauty on the course: the lack of crowds. Membership is limited to 275 and tee times aren’t required.

U.S. Judge William Jung ruled Tuesday that the lawsuit, which was filed by three African Amer- ican residents of northern Sara- sota County, will begin April 27. The lawsuit accuses county commissioners Michael Moran, Alan Maio and Nancy Detert of “depriving thousands of Afri- can American voters living in the Newtown community of the right to vote in the 2020 election.” The new redistricting map moves Sarasota’s Newtown neighborhood — and thousands of black voters — from District 1 into District 2, which means they won’t vote until 2022. It also moves candidate Fredd Atkins from District 1, the seat of which is held by Moran, and is up for reelection in 2020. During a December protest against the redistricting, New- town resident Ruby Robinson said the county’s actions aren’t fair. “This is high-class slavery,” Robinson said. “They took our voice to vote and with it our free- doms.” The suit seeks to restore the residents’ right to vote in the 2020 elections. Although Jung set a trial date, he ruled that the three commis- sioners named as defendants in the lawsuit could not be individu- ally sued. Because the commissioners have legislative privilege, they can’t be deposed by the plaintiffs for sworn statements. In a January response to the lawsuit, attorneys for the county filed a motion that aimed to have the lawsuit dismissed. The attorneys for the county argued that the plaintiffs have no facts to support a “plausible inference of racially discrimina- tory motivation” and that the complaint does not plausibly allege the commission’s predom- inant motive was racial. The two sides will now head to trial, which is scheduled over five days. County officials said they don’t comment on active litiga- tion. During the trial, Jung will con- sider the claims that the county’s actions violated the U.S. Consti- tution and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Jung denied the claim that the county also violated a Florida Constitution amend- ment that prohibits drawing legislative districts to benefit an incumbent official. A suit contending Sarasota County discriminated against black voters with redistricting map will be heard April 27. Trial date set for redistricting suit SARASOTA OBSERVER | THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2020 7A YourObserver.com A NOTICE FOR MEMBERS OF CIGNA’S HEALTH INSURANCE NETWORK Cigna’s Provider Network Will No Longer Include Sarasota Memorial Hospital, SMH Outpatient Facilities and First Physicians Group as of May 1, 2020. This change will not affect Medicare supplemental plans. Sarasota Memorial and First Physicians Group have regarded Cigna as a partner in caring for our community for many decades. In recent years, however, we have seen greatly reduced levels of coverage for many patients using the Cigna network and the denial of claims that should have been paid. For more than a year, we have tried to work with Cigna on a new contract that protects our patients from coverage decisions that impact their ability to access care, and from unjustified claim denials. We have given Cigna ample time and several contract extensions, but the company refuses to consider these standard provisions, which are included in our agreements with other major insurance partners. Our contract with Cigna ends April 30, 2020, and there will be no more extensions. We cannot change the rules for one company and agree to a contract that lacks basic protections for our patients and health system. Effective May 1, 2020, Cigna’s provider network for commercial and employer health plans will no longer include Sarasota Memorial Hospital, outpatient facilities and First Physicians Group. We are now focused on providing Cigna network members with information that will help them plan for their future medical needs. Continuing Care After we are removed from Cigna’s network as of May 1, 2020, certain patients under active treatment for specified medical or behavioral conditions may be approved by Cigna to receive continuing care from Sarasota Memorial and First Physicians Group at in-network coverage levels. According to Cigna, Continuity of Care forms must be submitted to the insurance company within 30 days of the April 30, 2020 contract termination date. Cigna makes the determination on who qualifies, but Sarasota Memorial and First Physicians Group providers stand ready to help patients apply for continuing care. The form and additional details are available on Cigna’s website: Go to www.cigna.com >>> “Individuals and Families” >>> “Member Resources” >>> “Programs for Members” >>> “Transition of Care and Continuity of Care” Emergency Medical Conditions In an emergency, regardless whether an insurer has an agreement for services with Sarasota Memorial, patients can still access care in Sarasota Memorial’s Emergency Departments. According to Florida law, HMO plans, licensed PPO plans and certain other plans generally have an obligation to pay for covered emergency services.

We see it vividly here in the Sarasota area, especially on Anna Maria Island and on St. Armands and Longboat keys. It seems to come up at most public meetings in those places with discussions of complaints or calls for restric- tions, and sometimes owners of vacation rentals speak out in their own defense. It goes way beyond the Sara- sota area, too. I’ve talked to local officials in several other commu- nities on the west and east coasts of Florida and also in South Car- olina, Arizona and Washington. I have been an expert witness in two lawsuits over restrictions on vacation rentals, one in Seattle and one in Chicago. Suffice it to say, it’s a national issue playing out at the local level all over the country. WHY THE CONTROVERSY? At one level, the issue is not that dramatic. It revolves around whether Airbnb and HomeAway and the like should pay the same taxes as hotels, have the same safety requirements, be required to have local licenses, etc. But many localities go way beyond that by instituting outright bans (such as Miami, Palm Springs, Calif., and Charleston, S.C.) or severe limitations (such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Miami Beach). In Sarasota, the issue of taxes was largely worked out with the companies a couple years ago. Local complaints and contro- versies tend to concern specific neighborhood issues, either nuisance issues, such as trash, noise and parking, or more fundamental issues, such as vacation rentals, violating the “neighborhood character” other homeowners expect or simply being commercial activities in a residential neighborhood. The first group of issues — trash, noise, parking, etc. — is in one sense simpler to address. Creating these problems is already illegal and covered under local codes that apply to all properties. There are mecha- nisms to cite and fine homeown- ers who violate those rules. But simple does not mean easy. I’ve been told by some Sarasota officials and some from other communities that enforcing these rules is “too hard.” There are too many such complaints, and many vacation rental owners are not responsive. NOT COMPELLING JUSTIFICATION But restricting someone’s property right — which is what limiting or banning short-term rentals amounts to — because enforcing normal rules of conduct for property owners is “too hard” is not a compelling justification. Ease and conve- nience for local officials is not a good reason for them to take something valuable away from property owners. And I can’t help but look at my own neighborhood, which is overwhelmingly vacation rent- als. In spite of having a steady flow of short-term renters, including tons of college kids at spring break and over the summer, we almost never have problems of noise, trash or cars all over the place. On the few times there have been issues, a call to the property manager or rental service com- pany almost always works. Police involvement is rare. Yes, maybe if you add up rare problems from a lot of neighborhoods, it looks like a bigger problem on a regional scale, but I have to say it looks like the existing rules work as intended. In the Sarasota-Manatee region, the neighborhood character problem seems to dominate most discussions. People complain about having lots of visitors coming and going in their neighborhood that are short-term rentals versus the relative stability of year-round or seasonal residents. But again, it seems like a draconian response to take away the ability of someone to make money off of their property just because you don’t like seeing people coming and going. It is hard and vague to argue the harm property owners imposed on their neighbors by violating the neighborhood character and hard to show that harm to be substantial. Is there a big difference between homeowners in your neighborhood with relatives who visit frequently throughout the year and homeowners who rent their houses out to vacationers for many weeks of the year? Moreover, we have a ready- made mechanism for dealing with the neighborhood character issue: homeowner and condo associations. If you want to ensure your neighborhood char- acter remains stable, it’s hard to beat a homeowner or condo association for that. Their rules are clear when you buy the prop- erty, and owners have to agree to change those rules. If you bought a property not in an HOA or COA, then you chose not to ensure your neighborhood character. To then ask the gov- ernment to regulate decisions by your neighbors that you don’t like and that don’t particularly harm you is unreasonable. Arguably it is a consequence of your decision to buy in a less- regulated neighborhood. STATE OR LOCAL CONTROL? On the subject of state pre- emption, the conflict between short-term rental owners and cries for local regulations keeps boiling up to the state level. Once again, bills proposed in the state Senate and House seek to preempt many local rules on short-term rentals and to regu- late them at the state level. The fundamental argument behind the bills is that too many local governments are overly restricting short-term rentals and violating the property rights of those homeowners without sufficient harm. Instead, state regulations would impose some rules on financial, health and safety issues but would largely allow property owners to decide. As I have written here before, local decision-making is better than state-level decision-mak- ing in most cases, and the state should rarely preempt local deci- sions. But this is a case where the track record is clear. Driven by the claim that enforcing existing rules is “too hard” and by calls for regula- tions from some vocal residents, too many local governments are dramatically restricting short- term rentals. The clear recourse for property owners to protect their rights from these restric- tions is to go to the state. Hence the situation we are in. It would be better to see our local leaders be reasonable and allow short-term rentals and enforce existing rules. If that happens statewide, we wouldn’t see the pressure for state pre- emption. Let the HOAs and COAs provide an option for those who want to be away from vaca- tion renters. Maybe we will see more homeowners’ associations emerge for more properties in response to growing vacation rentals. That’s an appropriate market response. Adrian Moore is vice president at Reason Foundation and lives in Sarasota. With so many cities going too far with regulations, state control makes sense. If you don’t like vacation rentals, form an HOA. Home-rental rules come down to local control AIRBNB HOT SPOTS Cities with the most Airbnb listings per 50,000.

The Bay, an independent group working with the city on the development and manage- ment of the land surrounding the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, has already earned commission endorsements of a master plan for the entire site and an overview plan for phase one. Still, it must secure more approvals before construction can begin. That’s why, on Wednesday, representatives for The Bay took in comments from city staff ask- ing about topics including the planned activities on the park site and anticipated parking needs. As it works with the city on plans for the first phase of the project, The Bay Sarasota has already begun some early work on the public property. Bayfront planners make progress on park site The Bay intends to address those comments in a revised phase one site plan that will ultimately advance to the Planning Board and City Commission for review. The plans might be at an advanced level of detail, but Bill Waddill, The Bay’s chief imple- mentation officer, said the vision hasn’t really changed since the city approved a higher-level proposal for the site in Septem- ber. The plan for the first phase, located mostly north of Boulevard of the Arts and south of the Van Wezel, includes an open-space lawn, a circular boardwalk over the water at Boulevard of the Arts, a food and beverage pavilion and a mangrove-lined inlet. One new aspect of the proposal detailed in the site plan is a series of shade structures designed using architect Walter Netsch’s “field theory,” a nod to the design of the former GWIZ building that previously stood on the bayfront site. The design is incorporated into “reading room” next to a wall that remains from the build- ing, which originally served as the Selby Library. The shade structures are also located on the boardwalk, at the food and bever- age pavilion and on the lawn. Waddill said the designs drew a positive reaction at a board meet- ing The Bay hosted and a Coali- tion of City Neighborhood Asso- ciations meeting Saturday. “I literally got ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ as I was going through the slides,” Waddill said. The Bay’s plans aren’t receiv- ing unanimous acclaim, though. A group of residents from Condo on the Bay continue to object to the phase one proposal, par- ticularly the placement of the boardwalk and the creation of a drop-off zone near the residential building at the end of Boulevard of the Arts. The condo has hired an attorney who has sent a let- ter questioning the sufficiency of the plans The Bay submitted, and residents have reached out to city officials to share their issues. “We are very concerned with how the park will be permitted to be used and about resulting noise, waste and potentially hurtful activities,” residents Jeffrey Rose and Jill DiSalvio Rose wrote in a January email to city staff. Waddill said The Bay will con- tinue to work with and listen to neighbors as the plans advance, but he also said the group would not change its plans to accom- modate the objections of a small group. Waddill noted The Bay went through a lengthy engage- ment process to produce its mas- ter plan, and the group intends to present a plan to the commission that represents the totality of the input it received. Even before earning final approval for phase one, The Bay has already begun the process of improving the bayfront site. Last month, the group celebrated the opening of a fountain garden near the Blue Pagoda building where The Bay is headquartered. And on Jan. 31, the group broke ground on a mangrove bayou walkway expected to be completed later this year. (See page 16 for more on the groundbreaking.) There remains more work to be done, but Waddill is encouraged about the headway The Bay con- tinues to make. “It’s really nice to be able to have some of these little early phases open so people can see we’re making progress,” Waddill said. Courtesy rendering The Bay Sarasota is working to build out the $25 million first phase of the park project by the end of 2021. 10A SARASOTA OBSERVER | THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2020 YourObserver.com ROBERT TOALE & SONS FUNERAL HOME AT PALMS MEMORIAL PARK SARASOTA 170 Honore Avenue, Sarasota • 941-371-4962 Not affiliated with Toale Brothers Funeral Home or Toale Brothers Inc. 329056-1 VISIT OUR NEWLY RENOVATED FUNERAL HOME Stop by and see our new modern and personalized facility with three new venues plus outdoor reception and gathering areas. 170 Honore Avenue, Sarasota LOVE Spend Valentine’s Day with us! s i e s t a g r i l l e s i e s t a g r i l l e s i e s t a g r i l l e s i e s t a g r i l l e s i e s t a g r i l l e s i e s t a g r i l l e s i e s t a g r i l l e s i e s t a g r i l l e s i e s t a g r i l l e s i e s t a g r i l l e clayton’s clayton’s clayton’s clayton’s clayton’s clayton’s clayton’s clayton’s clayton’s clayton’s Make Reservations TODAY! 941.349.2800 1256 Old Stickney Point Rd • Siesta Key • claytonssiestagrille.com Dinner Nightly 4pm - 10pm 328419- 1 Haab & Knatz, CPAs, LLC 8590 Potter Park Drive, Sarasota http://alhaabcpa.haab.us Call Today! 941-922-3443 LET US HELP YOU THROUGH THE NEW TAX LAW CHANGES.

I want us to be successful, and I want us to put our best foot forward.” After hearing presentations from both FSBA and Iowa-based Ray & Associates, the board selected FSBA for its local knowl- edge and its leadership. The FSBA search will be run by Bill Vogel, whom the board con- sidered for the role of interim superintendent until he removed his name from consideration. Although both Ziegler and Board Member Eric Robinson expressed concerns about FSBA based on the search it did to find previous Superintendent Todd Bowden, they both said the big- gest plus for FSBA was Vogel’s leadership. “I’m trying to keep an open mind about FSBA, but I’ve got to say, the No. 1 reason I’d lean toward FSBA is because of Vogel,” Robinson said. “Having him on the search firm is a big positive.” FSBA has led superintendent searches in seven counties within the past five years, and board members lauded the organiza- tion’s knowledge of Florida and candidates who are familiar with Florida’s education system and open-government laws. Although board members said they would like candidates from all over the nation, Board Member Jane Goodwin said she appreciat- ed the fact that FSBA has access to many local candidates. “Someone has a steep learning curve if they don’t have Florida experience,” Goodwin said. Although Robinson and Ziegler voted to approve FSBA, they did so with some trepidation. Goodwin and board mem- bers Caroline Zucker and Shirley Brown all have a close relation- ship with FSBA — Goodwin is president-elect, and Zucker and Brown are on the board of direc- tors. Robinson and Ziegler wanted to make sure that the three work- ing with FSBA would not have a stronger say in the search. “It’s my choice not to be involved, but I want to be sure there’s equal weight and full transparency,” Ziegler said, “if you could respectfully keep that in mind and make sure we don’t miss anything.” Now that a firm has been selected, board members need to decide on a timeline for the search and minimum requirements. In the past, Sarasota searches for superintendents have sought a standard of five years of experi- ence on the executive director level. Robinson questioned whether leaving the standard there or rais- ing it higher would allow quality candidates to apply. In its last search in Volusia County, Vogel said FSBA attract- ed a chief operations officer and associate superintendents from top-performing districts in the state. “We had others that were not applying for that job because people were asking me, ‘When is Sarasota coming up?’” Vogel said. “So there are already people that want to apply for this district.” Now FSBA will work with the board to personalize the search. This could include a citizens advisory committee, an internal survey and an external survey to gauge community support. A next step was not planned at the meeting, though Vogel sug- gested Feb. 18 as a possible date for the first search meeting. 12A SARASOTA OBSERVER | THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2020 YourObserver.com
