ROLL CALL Present: Mayor John Doctor Vice Mayor Tammy Vasquez Commissioner Chris Clark Commissioner Arthur Czyszczon Commissioner Arden Dickey C. APPROVAL OF REGULAR AND WORKSHOP AGENDAS There were no changes to the agenda. D. PROCLAMATIONS, RECOGNITIONS, CERTIFICATES OF APPRECIATION On invitation from Mayor Doctor, Mr. Jim Brainard, former Mayor of Carmel, Indiana, shared a presentation. Mayor Doctor wanted the Commission to give consensus to the City Manager to bring back a contract for Mr. Brainard to work with the City. Vice Mayor Vasquez was opposed to moving forward because the item had not previously been noticed and did not feel the way the item was brought forward was appropriate. Commissioner Dickey applauded Mr. Brainard’s presentation, but agreed with Vice Mayor Vasquez that there was not enough time or information to move forward. Commissioner Czyszczon did not feel Carmel, Indiana, was similar to Treasure Island or that there was sufficient notice to give direction. Commissioner Dickey emphasized that he was not opposed to Mr. Brainard’s services, but wanted more information. Commissioner Clark praised Mr. Brainard and expounded on how his services would benefit the City. Mayor Doctor asked if the Commission would be comfortable with putting 9

2 the item on the workshop agenda for September 16, 2025. Responding to Vice Mayor Vasquez, City Attorney Anthony Sabatini advised on cost thresholds that would require a Request for Procurement or Request for Qualifications. Vice Mayor Vasquez spoke against the item based on additional consultant services costs and the differences between Carmel, IN, and the City. Commissioner Clark argued Mr. Brainard would be instrumental and expounded on the importance of a master plan. Conversations continued on other items in the agenda. E. CITY MANAGER AND CITY ATTORNEY REPORTS Attorney Sabatini said most of his comments were on the items heard this evening.

Ms. Donna Jallamore, Thunderbird, addressed the request for increased height and density and efforts to include City input. Ms. Isabelle Albert, ID, distributed materials contained in background material and continued review of the presentation. Mr. Gilad Ovaknin, Thunderbird Hotel owner, expressed his eagerness to reopen and expounded on prior efforts to communicate with City staff. Attorney Cole made concluding remarks and said the comments and reports were applicable to Items H.6. and H.7. Commissioner Dickey asked why the proposal included changes in RFM-30. Ms. Albert advised staff suggested including the other areas. Commissioner Dickey wanted clarification about 184 parking spaces. Mr. Ovaknin commented there were no final plans, but there may be a requirement for additional parking. Mayor Doctor asked the public to address Items H.6. and H.7. together and keep comments brief. Mr. Richard Harris, 374 Bay Plaza, spoke about the need for improved hotels, the fact that the items would come back before the Commission and the Public through a Developers 12

5 Agreement, the City had several plans that had existed, did not believe 20 feet was significant, and commented on other buildings that did not fit in their zoning areas, but believed development was needed, and referenced a Walt Disney quote. Mr. Mark Hohe, District 3, advocated for citizen involvement in development decisions, remarked on State legislation changing the City’s process, felt the application was forced and the City was ceding responsibility by having a privately initiated amendment and believed development the way it was presented circumvented citizen involvement. Ms. Marie Barba, District 4, recommended rejecting the applications because height and density requests were extreme and believed the applications did not include the citizens, and disagreed that Florida legislation prohibited a referendum on height and density. Mr. Jeff Baynon, Isle of Palms, highlighted the importance of the mandate on height and density, praised Mr. Brainard’s work in IN, believed anyone who would benefit from increased height and density should recuse themselves. Ms. Barb Adams, Isle of Palms Civic Association President, cited the demolition of downtown and the 2024 hurricanes as an opportunity for significant change but wanted more planning and offered suggestions on parking alternatives, said the citizens did not want eight stories, residents cared about height, and suggested the hotels make more unique rooms to charge additional money instead of increasing the number of rooms. Ms. Derry Smith, 55 79th Terrace, submitted a petition created with a developer who was shocked by the increased floor area ratio and said she had heard from no residents who favored increased height. Mr. Grant Smith, Local Planning Agency (LPA) Board Member, stated the applicant and staff had made incorrect/unsubstantiated statements regarding consistency with County plans, additional density was required for increased financial feasibility, the fact that developers would not build to the maximum, and that the City would benefit from the increase height and density. Mr. Chris Downing, LPA Board Member, applauded Mr. Smith’s explanation of the situation, highlighted the City was already consistent with County height requirements, increasing the allowable height would encourage developers to request additional height, and stressed the City had the opportunity to revitalize, but a master plan was essential, and argued the zoning changes would impact the entire City. City Attorney Sabatini said the amendment allowed the City Commission to make decisions about future development plans and did not automatically allow increased height and density. Ms. Diana Crabill, 285 115th Avenue, asked the Commission to delay the vote, did not like the petitioner proposing the amendments, liked the Thunderbird and the redevelopment of Treasure Island, asserted the County received a majority of the money from City taxes collected, wondered if buying/trading density had been considered, solid waste impacts, letters of interest for the County taking the sewer system, the impacts to Fire Department equipment needs, and the Countywide plan benefiting from Treasure Island taxes, and asked for workshops, and to delay or deny the items. 13

6 Ms. Sarah Pennington, Isle of Palms, appreciated the Thunderbird and the architecture of Treasure Island, believed it was unusual for the developer to be the one who initiated the change, argued the City was consistent with the County, felt the amendment would set precedent for future applications, stated the LPA was told false information, and felt the Thunderbird being allowed to approve the Comp Plan was not good for the City, said things could not be done in a rush, asked how to ensure developers do not pursue increased height only to make their property more valuable, argued the City was no responsible for profitability. Mr. West Evans, Isle of Palms, appreciated the Treasure Island charm, did not believe it was the City’s responsibility to ensure businesses were profitable, liked the work done in Carmel, IN, and suggested the Thunderbird work with Mr. Brainard, argued for a master plan, and asked the Commission to table or vote no on the item. Ms. Ingrid Rabant, District 2, asked about the referendum on height and density. City Attorney Sabatini advised on legislation that made the referendum void. Ms. Rabant told a story about the mosaic at the bottom of the Thunderbird Hotel pool, emphasized the potential for downtown, and believed greenspace had been overlooked. Mr. Mike Penhallegon, Treasure Island Resident, commented on the ongoing allegations about Commissioners, felt the perception of conflicts of interest was concerning, asserted the community needed a master plan, and advocated for working together. Ms. Sharon McClendon, South Pasadena, stated there were regulations regarding short-term rentals, people did not want small hotel rooms, did not know if the City infrastructure could accommodate increased numbers of visitors, did not believe the City should make decisions because of the storms, and spoke about previous efforts to increase height and density. Attorney Sabatini said the amendment was not spot zoning and was legally defensible. Ms. McClendon remarked on the traffic pattern for ingress/egress to the Thunderbird, and commented on City infrastructure keeping up with development. Attorney Sabatini explained a voting conflict only existed when there was a special private gain or loss, meaning a vote uniquely impacted an elected official, not when the elected officia
