7-22-2026 City Council Meeting Minutes – J. Griffith Page 4 of 7 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRADENTON APPROVING APPLICATION PLN-MAJ-26-0001 FOR A MAJOR AMENDMENT TO THE JORDAN CREEK EAST PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PLAN (PDP-23 4841) TO APPROVE AN ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPTION FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1201 27TH STREET EAST AND 2906 11TH AVENUE EAST (PARCEL ID NUMBERS 1387000050 AND 1387200007), MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN; OPTION A IS A PDP SITE PLAN FOR 66 SEMIDETACHED RESIDENTIAL UNITS AS APPROVED WITH ORDINANCE 4027; OPTION B IS A PDP SITE PLAN FOR 98 TOWNHOME UNITS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Jamie Schindewolf, Senior Planner, summarized details and the history of the project. She explained that the applicant was seeking approval for a residential development containing 98 residential units comprised of a mixture of four-unit and six-unit townhomes. This application was a continuance from a previously denied application. Staff Report: “The revised request increases the amount of open space within the project and enhances the recreational area. However, it does not change the Page 10 of 16 Case: PLN-MAJ-26-0001 overall design significantly from the original Option B request. The revised application fails to address contributions to public facilities and is still requesting a density that is significantly higher than most of the adjoining residential areas. The request for a reduced buffer still remains. City Council is encouraged to consider the staff analysis, the applicant’s submission and presentation, and public testimony in making a motion for approval or denial. If the Council votes to approve the proposed Option B, including the buffer reduction, staff recommends the following stipulations: 1. Allow for a reduction in the perimeter buffer area from 25 feet to 20 feet with enhanced landscaping. 2. Accessory structures shall maintain at least a 5-foot setback from side and rear property lines and are not allowed in front yards. 3. Solid waste collection is subject to the requirements of Public Works and Utilities and will be approved through the SIP process. Multifamily with more than 3 consecutive units will be required to provide dumpster or compactor service.” Kyle Grimes, attorney with Grimes Galvano, PL, and representing Jordan Creek East LLC, addressed the concerns and changes that were made for the reconsideration of the project. He spoke about traffic patterns and the market demand for town homes over duplexes. Josh Law, Agent for Jordan Creek at Bradenton East, summarized the details of the property. He discussed the changes made to the project from the previously denied application.

7-22-2026 City Council Meeting Minutes – J. Griffith Page 5 of 7 Theo Petritsch, Director of Transportation Services with Landis Evans, spoke about the traffic concerns associated with the project. In addition to the previous study, Mr. Petritsch researched alternative streets located near the project for traffic concerns. Ms. Schindewolf pointed out that the renderings that were shown were not those included in the agenda packet and said if Council required that the project reflect those renderings, a stipulation needed to be added. She provided information from Public Works that reflected concerns about driveways and backflow preventer placement. Matt Morris, engineer with Pape-Dawson, clarified that any renderings shown were preliminary and the development would comply with any requirements. The public hearing was opened, and those who wished to speak were invited to the podium. Those who spoke in opposition to Resolution 26-28: • Sandra Lohr, 3227 12 th Ave East • Susie Copeland 1010 27 th Street E • Dean Jorgensen, 1107 Tropical Drive Mayor Brown called for additional time for anyone who wished to speak; no one came forward, and the public hearing was closed. Mr. Grimes reiterated that stipulations could be added to ensure Council’s directives were met. He also addressed traffic concerns and restated the reason for transitioning the development to townhomes. MOTION TO DENY THE APPLICATION was made by Councilwoman Barnebey and seconded by Councilwoman Coachman. The motion passed 5-0. Scott Rudacille, City Attorney, stated he would make modifications to the denial resolution and bring the final draft to Council at the August 12, 2026, meeting. b) Finance: RESOLUTION 26-60 - PUBLIC HEARING A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRADENTON, FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE CONSTRUCTION AND FUNDING OF THE WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT WITHIN THE IRONWOOD CONDOMINIUMS WATER ASSESSMENT AREA; PROVIDING AUTHORITY, DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION, AND CERTAIN LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS; CREATING THE ASSESSMENT AREA; CONFIRMING THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT RESOLUTION; APPROVING THE ASSESSMENT ROLL; IMPOSING NON-AD VALOREM SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS; APPROVING THE ASSESSMENT ROLL; PROVIDING FOR COLLECTION OF THE ASSESSMENTS; PROVIDING FOR THE APPLICATION OF ASSESSMENT PROCEEDS; PROVIDING FOR EFFECT; PROVIDING FOR INITIAL PREPAYMENTS; DIRECTING THE FILING OF AN ASSESSMENT NOTICE; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

7-22-2026 City Council Meeting Minutes – J. Griffith Page 6 of 7 Lance Williams, Deputy City Administrator and Chief Operating Officer, explained that Resolution 26-60 was the final assessment resolution for the Ironwood Water Main Replacement project. He reported that the project was progressing well. The public hearing was opened, and those who wished to speak were invited to the podium. Carlos Hernandez, Ironwood resident and President of the Ironwood Community Association (ICA), stated he was happy with the progress of the project and asked about the difference in the assessment amounts on the notices he received. Mayor Brown called an additional time for anyone who wished to speak; no one came forward, and the public hearing was closed. Mr. Williams explained that the amounts on the notices represented an estimated range, and the final totals varied based on accrued interest, maintenance costs, and administrative fees over the repayment period.
