Jim Shirley, executive director of the Arts and Cultural Alliance of Sarasota County, pictured with Lora Kosten, faculty coordinator at USF Sarasota-Manatee, Jewell Emswiller, a Lawrence Pointe Condominium Association member, and Bayfront 20:20 leader Michael Klauber, shared his thoughts about the bayfront’s future at an Oct. 22 focus group. session organized by Sarasota Bayfront 20:20. After spending the summer focused on internal matters, the grassroots group is beginning to increase its level of public engagement.

Bayfront Buildup A lot of questions remain unanswered about the future of Sarasota’s bayfront, but a planning group has set an ambitious goal: to break ground within two years.

DAVID CONWAY NEWS EDITOR

Candace Damon was hired to help Sarasota Bayfront 20:20 plan the future of 42 acres of city-owned land, but she still isn’t sure how those plans will come to fruition.

That’s because Damon, vice chairman of New York-based consulting firm HR&A Advisors, maintains the community will determine the best course of action.

“There is no single right answer.

The right answer for Sarasota is going to come from thinking hard and talking with Sarasotans.”

— Candace Damon, vice chairman of New York-based firm HR&A Advisors

“There’s lots of precedents for doing this across the country,” Damon said. “There is no single right answer. The right answer for Sarasota is going to come from thinking hard and talking with Sarasotans.”

Since its inception in early 2014, Sarasota Bayfront 20:20 has focused on maintaining its status as an independent grassroots endeavor. Headed by Visit Sarasota County Chairman Michael Klauber, the group is working to create an open public space and a campus for arts organizations on the bayfront land surrounding the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.

After spending last season developing a list of community principles to dictate how the land is developed, Bayfront 20:20 has mostly taken an internal focus since the beginning of the summer. City staff produced a technical analysis of the conditions of the land in September, outlin-

ing logistical and environmental concerns to consider when planning begins in earnest.

The Van Wezel and the Sarasota Orchestra have been master planning to determine their future needs, a subject scheduled for discussion at a November Bayfront 20:20 meeting. The end of that effort marks the beginning of the work that people tend to wonder most about: How does this go from a theoretical exercise to a physical project?

Already, Bayfront 20:20 is increasing its public engagement.

Last week, the group held four focus group sessions designed to get resident feedback on the future of the planning effort.

“I think there was a lot of excitement about what’s been accomplished to date, and a very positive impatience about moving forward and doing something,” Damon said.

Klauber opened the sessions by sharing the group’s new goal: to break ground on a project within the next two years.

“We need a demonstration that the vision we’re setting forth can be realized in relatively short order,” Klauber said.

Of course, there’s no idea of what that groundbreaking might be for. Damon has spoken to the need for an “early victory” — that although the groundbreaking would be followed by many years of work, it’s an important signifier for the community that it’s producing tangible results.

In one focus group, a participant focused on a key question: When do you know what goes where?

Damon was reluctant to delve into specifics, but eventually, she outlined one potential scenario for the future of the bayfront.

Once the Van Wezel and Sarasota Orchestra finish their planning efforts, they might develop a series of options for ways they

can collaborate with other cultural organizations.

At that point, the yet-to-bedetermined mechanism for site planning can move forward. The trick is balancing the needs of arts organizations, the public open space and other logistical aspects, such as parking, she said.

From there, site planning can begin — at which point there should be an examination of the project budget and funding options. If all goes right, Damon said, the site plan could be completed within the next 12 to 18 months.

“Bayfront 20:20” might not be the right group to lead each step of this endeavor, Damon pointed out. For the immediate future, then, the group is focusing on finding the appropriate entity to manage the planning and design process, the community outreach process and, eventually, the operational management of the final product on the bayfront.

Whatever those entities look like, Bayfront 20:20 wants to maintain the same level of community engagement it’s seen in its first 18 months. For now, the focus might remain on procedural issues, but soon, the group’s leaders believe it will finally move to meatier subjects.

“I think it’s critically important to keeping this coalition together that it participate in the decision making — not just about substance, but about process,” Damon said.

FOUR FACTORS As Sarasota Bayfront 20:20 begins to move toward a planning process for the bayfront land, a consultant believes there are four key areas of emphasis to keep in mind: n Site planning — questions regarding the land itself and associated logistics. n Facility planning — what buildings go where, and what types of uses will be included in the fabric of this project? n Outreach — how do you continue to engage with people who are already involved and people who aren’t participating yet? What role do they play? n Fundraising — what sources of money can be reasonably obtained, and how?

Sarasota Bayfront 20:20 leader Michael Klauber, pictured with Carol Hirschburg, Sarasota Cuban Ballet School Inc. executive director, helped guide the discussion at a series of focus groups held last week.

Pumpkin Fest: Cause for fright?

City officials discuss the Sarasota Pumpkin Festival’s impact on Payne Park — and how it is mitigated.

DAVID CONWAY NEWS EDITOR

With Halloween approaching, City Commissioner Susan Chapman found herself haunted by a demon from her past.

On Oct. 20, Chapman sent an email to city administration regarding the Sarasota Pumpkin Festival scheduled for Payne Park that weekend. The specter of damaged parkland as a result of the event troubled Chapman, particularly because she had raised that same issue a year earlier.

In 2014, Chapman led a City Commission discussion in the wake of that year’s Pumpkin Festival. She, along with other commissioners and residents, noted damage to the turf at the park caused by the animal attractions and carnival rides. The board directed staff to place a moratorium on large-scale events in city parks and bring back an amendment to the city’s special events ordinance that would prohibit similar offerings.

That topic has not since come

this occur?

According to Debbie Perez, the city’s auditoriums general manager, there was never a formal moratorium on the carnival-style events. Following the commission’s discussion in 2014, the subject was forwarded to the city’s Parks, Recreation and Environmental Protection Board. In March, the advisory group unanimously agreed that it did not support any effort to end large-scale events in city parks.

“The PREP board said, ‘No — that’s what parks are for,’” Perez said of the response to the proposed moratorium.

As a result, the topic did come up at a May City Commission meeting — as part of a larger report by the PREP board summarizing its March meeting.

One question was asked about events, but the discussion largely focused on other subjects. Chapman offered corrections for two spelling errors in the PREP board

meeting minutes but did not initiate any conversation regarding special events.

Eventually, City Attorney Robert Fournier asked the commission directly about the special events ordinance his office was drafting.

“My question is: Do you want to just wait on the carnival-type events and leave that out for now, or do you want us to include that in the ordinance?” Fournier said.

The question left the door open for future consideration of a large-scale park events ban.

Still, the commission offered its consensus that the special ordinance could move forward without a restriction on carnival-style events. As a result, staff began to issue permits for carnival-style events again.

Chapman said she hasn’t yet gotten a chance to inspect the park following last weekend’s three-day Pumpkin Festival. She said the city has raised its special events fees with the intention of providing more supervision during those events, but she’s uncertain of what exactly that might entail.

“I haven’t checked to see if they were supervising adequately,” Chapman said.

On Tuesday, staff inspected the site grounds to assess the wear and tear caused by the event.

Before that, Perez acknowledged there would likely be worn-down patches in shaded segments of the event grounds, but money from the organizer’s security deposit — which was $5,000 in 2014 — would pay for any repairs.

“Where the ponies were, where they walked around, there’s going to be a little trench,” Perez said.

“We’ll seed whatever it takes, and he’ll be charged accordingly.”

New event brings Thunder by the Bay to Southside Village Thunder by the Bay organizer Lucy Nicandri says the four-day motorcycle festival has grown significantly over the past four years.

And, an increasing number of visitors who arrive on Friday for the January weekend event said they wanted an alternative to the $100-a-ticket kickoff party, the only event that night. When brainstorming possibilities for a new event, Nicandri thought of Morton’s Gourmet Market owner Eddie Morton, who approached her four years earlier with an interest in expanding the event.

That’s why on Jan. 8, the “Hogs on Hillview” block party will be held in Southside Village, a Friday night feature with live music, food vendors and a bike show.

“They’re very excited,” Nicandri said. “There’s a lot of positive feedback from the area.”

City Commissioner Susan Chapman said she received concern from one constituent in the area, questioning the event’s impact. The event would require a street closure in the 1800 and 1900 blocks of Hillview Street from 2 p.m. until midnight Jan. 8.

According to city staff, 25 of the 29 businesses affected by the proposed

File photo

closure have formally approved of the event. Another three have verbally indicated they approve of the event; just one business has responded with a formal “no.”

Already, that means the event has eclipsed the 66% minimum approval rate from affected businesses. Chris Wagner, president of the Southside Village Business Association, said area merchants were excited to help Thunder by the Bay beneficiary Suncoast Charities for Children.

Both Wagner and Morton agreed the influx of visitors from the event could also be a boon for business.

“We get people who have never been to the area who get to see the restaurants and the retail shops that are here,” Morton said. “We’re a hidden area sometimes, where if you’re not a local shopper, you might not know what is here.”

The Kolter Group is contracted to purchase land for a mixed-use project on State Street,1ST ST. submitting new plans for a development originally proposed nearly a decade ago.

Last week, the firm behind a large bayfront condominium development submitted plans for another significant downtown endeavor: an 11-story, 157-condo mixed-use project with an additional 50,000 square feet of commercial space.

The Kolter Group is contracted to purchase land slated for development as part of Pineapple Square, a project that began nearly a decade ago but has failed to progress to its proposed second and third phases. Kolter will purchase the property from Ohiobased Isaac Group Holdings LLC, which placed the project on the market in the spring.

Terms of the sale were not disclosed. Kolter Urban is the developer of the 18-story Vue Sarasota Bay project at U.S. 41 and Gulfstream Avenue, which features 144 condominium units in addition to a 275-room hotel.

Kolter Urban Project Manager David Arent said the Vue project, which is nearly sold out, gave the group a positive impression of the city’s residential market.

“Sarasota itself is what’s driving us to stay in the area,” Arent said of the West Palm Beachbased firm.

The mixed-use project, called

City Place at Pineapple Square, comprises stage two of the development and would be located within the 1400 block of State Street.

Thanks to the State Street garage — a project borne out of a development agreement between the city and the Isaac Group — the area has seen an increase in construction activity. A private developer plans to begin construction of a mixed-use liner building next to the garage in 2016, as well.

Arent said Kolter sees Pineapple Square — which includes properties along Lemon Avenue extending north of Main Street — as a hub for the downtown area. One change included in the group’s revised site plan would downgrade the proposed commercial square footage at City Place from more than 80,000 square feet to 50,000 square feet.

The strength of the retail offerings in the immediate area made the larger commercial footprint a bigger challenge, Arent said.

“Eighty-thousand-plus square feet is a lot of retail space,” Arent said. “There’s a lot of great retail that does already exist on Main Street, and there’s also great retail on State Street. We want to accompany that great retail and feel the desire and need for it is probably a little less than the

original plan.”

Despite the more modest retail footprint in the new plans, State Street is set for a significant increase in commercial space.

In addition to the 50,000 square feet at City Place, the State Street garage and its liner building will bring nearly 19,000 square feet of commercial property to the area.

The residential market remains hot, but after the construction of the Mall at University Town

Center, it may be hard to secure the high-end retailers originally envisioned at Pineapple Square.

“You throw a sales center up, you put a nice project out there and you’re going to be able to sell condos,” said Steve Horn, a sales associate with commercial real estate brokerage firm Ian Black Real Estate. “What’s more difficult to gauge is the commercial, especially with UTC out there as the big vacuum cleaner kind of cleaning everyone out.”

On Oct. 22, Kolter submitted a revision to the City Place site plan, originally approved in 2006 and modified in a 2010 agreement with the city. The new plan is also an additional story in height.

Other changes include revisions

to the floor layouts, the internal traffic circulation and some design elements.

Kolter has submitted those changes as minor modifications to the plan, which would only necessitate administrative staff approval. If the city finds the modifications to be major, rather than minor, the new site plan would need Planning Board and City Commission approval.

If all goes well, Arent said, Kolter hopes to begin construction by the end of 2016, with sales beginning early next year.

“Our desire is to go forward with it immediately and get into the market this season, so we’re going down that path right now,” Arent said.

Last week, Sarasota County received the final signature from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers it needed to authorize a $20 million to $22 million renourishment for Turtle Beach and south Siesta Key beaches.

According to county spokesman Drew Winchester, the county must still select a construction firm, but staff plans to present a construction contract and final funding plan to the Sarasota County Commission Dec. 9.

Winchester said the goal is to begin the project in January and finish it by April 30.

Residents’ responses to the project vary.

Tortoise Estates resident Ron Flynn said erosion is consistent in the area, though the public beach hasn’t been left as bare as beaches in front of nearby communities, such as Fisherman’s Cove and Fisherman’s Haven.

“The public beach still has a lot of sand,” Flynn said. “It’s still wide enough.”

There is an illusion of erosion, he explained, because dunes were

planted during the most recent renourishment in 2008, and the dunes are much wider than they used to be.

He said he would have preferred

the county wait until next year so it could begin just after the end of turtle-nesting season, citing construction impacts on rentals in the area and public access.

Cost estimate: $20 million to $22 million Breakdown of cost responsibilities: $12.6 million: County Tourist Development Tax $6.75 million to $7.75 million: State grants Remaining balance: Will be paid by an assessment on homeowners on the beachfront in the project area, pending a county study to be completed soon Amount of sand to be placed: Approximately 800,000 cubic yards Additional beach width resulting from the project: 50 to 70 feet

“I call it the overflow beach,” he said. “When Siesta gets busy, people start pouring down to Turtle.”

Laird Wreford, Sarasota County Coastal Resources manager, said although the public beach has held sand better than expected, it has become narrower and steeper. Left unaddressed, it could become problematic, according to Wreford.

Rhonda Holliday, property manager at Fisherman’s Cove Association, said owners at the 85-unit community, approximately 60 of which are rentals, feel the same sense of urgency about the project.

“Some guests want complete peace and quiet, of course,” she said.

But currently, erosion is affecting rentals.

“Right now, we have to convince guests to stay here because there is no beach,” Holliday said.

The county hasn’t determined where it will start the project, so for now, it’s difficult for communities like Fisherman’s Cove to plan for construction.

According to Wreford, the size of the construction area around which beach access will be restricted will be small, about the size of a football field, and will move quickly, usually staying in once place less than a day.

“Any one section of the beach is generally only affected for a day to three days, maximum,” Wreford said.

Holliday estimated that each of the two main buildings will see construction and restricted beach access for two weeks. She emphasized that the project is welcome because of its long-term benefit.

“Don’t wait any longer,” Holliday said.

House always wins The Seminole gaming compact and Florida lottery create a dichotomous hypocrisy. To limit gambling in Florida, ‘the state’ is the biggest operator and purveyor of gambling.

SARASOTA & SIESTA KEY

Observer “If we are to build a better world, we must remember that the guiding principle is this — a policy of freedom for the individual is the only truly progressive policy.”

Friedrich Hayek

MATT WALSH

H

o-hum. The state and the Seminole Tribe of Florida are at an impasse over the Seminoles’ contract for casino gambling, and the Seminoles have sued the state.

Unless you own a dog track, horse track or jai-alai fronton, or are a Seminole Indian, Florida’s governor or a legislator, it’s probably safe to say you couldn’t care less about the state and Seminoles’ “gaming compact.”

Maybe you care if you’re a patron at one of the Seminoles’ seven casinos around the state. The most widely known casino in this part of the state, of course, is the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tampa. If you are a patron, you’re probably interested to the extent of knowing whether the casino is going to add or take away particular games.

But suffice it to say the state’s gaming compact is an extraordinarily sweet deal for the Seminoles. They pretty much have “the only game(s) in town.” And at the same time, it’s a nice, fat cash cow for the state, and by extension, Florida taxpayers.

But it’s also a weird, dichotomous hypocrisy: To keep the state closed to the alleged evils of the casino gambling industry, the state operates and controls the two biggest purveyors of gambling in the state — the $5.5 billion (revenues) lottery and the statesanctioned casino monopoly with the Seminole Indians.

Check out the money flow for the casinos in the table below. That is $2 billion-plus a year in revenues — before expenses — going to the

Seminoles, and roughly $250 million to $300 million as the state government’s share of the take. Or, put another way: the state’s share for granting the Seminoles exclusivity.

Depending on what you read, profit margins for the Seminoles’ gaming operations can be anywhere between 10% and 45% — or, say, between $217 million and $976 million a year going to the Seminole Indian Tribe of Florida Inc., the corporation that operates all of the tribe’s businesses.

The Seminole Indian Tribe of Florida Inc. in turn distributes a portion of its profits every year to every man, woman and child among its nearly 3,000 tribal members in Florida.

(The Florida casino profits, by the way, are just a fraction of the tribe’s income. It also owns Hard Rock International, the franchisee for about 205 Hard Rock hotels, casinos and cafes in 64 countries around the world.)

Let’s put it this way: Florida’s Seminole Indians are doing just fine.

And of course they should be. Every business would love a state-sanctioned monopoly.

To a large degree, you could say the state and Seminoles’ gaming compact has similar characteristics to the mob. Gov. Rick Scott is the Don Corleone, and lawmakers are the Cosa Nostra enforcers (although minus the Tommy guns). Together, the governor and lawmakers keep order in their turf by prohibiting competitors. And for that, they extract a comfortable percentage of the Seminoles’ income.

Call it what you will — a “commission,” a partnership, but on the streets of Boston and Philadelphia, it’s looted protection money.

Nevertheless, everybody is happy — the Don-Governor and his lawmakers; the Seminoles; and Florida taxpayers — who otherwise likely would be paying $250 million more a year in taxes if not for the state’s share of the Seminoles’ take (and a $1 billion more in taxes if not for the lottery).

Even the gamblers throwing away $2 billion a year patronizing the Seminoles’ casinos appear to be happy.

Based on reviews of the Tampa Hard Rock, the casino’s customers are satisfied. Some note the glitz isn’t at the level of the luxury casinos in Las Vegas, but they don’t expect that in Tampa, or from the Seminoles. Nor do the customers seem to mind the effects of no competition.

On that point, Hard Rock Tampa gamers are paying more than double the going hotel rates in the Tampa market. A weekend room in midNovember at Hard Rock ranges from $530 to $780 a night. The city’s two Intercontinental luxury hotels list rooms for only $196 and $238.)

School impact fees: The wrong impact Whenever you see or hear Sarasota attorney Dan Lobeck, who is also the founder of Control Growth Now, supporting the Sarasota School Board’s impact fees, that is the obvious sign these fees have little to do with financing school construction in areas that need them. Lobeck argues for impact fees only for one reason: to slow or stop growth.

To no one’s surprise, the school board last week voted to reinstate impact fees after a five-year moratorium — with the predictable support from Caroline Zucker, Shirley Brown and Jane Goodwin; Frank Kovach and Bridget Ziegler voted against.

The three supporting the fees

likely will point out the board voted to reinstate the fees only at a quarter of what they could have — at $2,032 on a new single-family home.

But that’s still no justification. In fact, there is none for school impact fees. Why, for instance, should a retiree buying a new home pay a fee for a building he’ll never use? The school board already taxes his property annually with ad-valorem taxes. So he gets taxed twice.

And why is it so difficult to understand these two things: 1) Developers don’t pay impact fees, they pass them into the price of the home; 2) When you raise prices, you sell less.

Which is just want Lobeck wants.

SEMINOLE CASINOS n Brighton Reservation (Glades), Slots Only n Coconut Creek (Broward) n Hollywood (Broward) n Immokalee (Collier) n Big Cypress (Hendry) Slots Only n Hollywood (Broward) n Tampa (Hillsborough), Roulette, craps, roulettestyled games, craps-styled games are prohibited.

The only dissatisfied parties, for the most part, are other casino operators.

They would love a piece of the Seminoles’ action.

But Florida’s Republican-dominated lawmakers — alleged believers in capitalism, competition and low regulation — won’t give in.

Of course, there is little incentive for them to do so, especially when they think about the consequences of a competitive casino industry in Florida.

Ever since Florida business leaders beat back a constitutional amendment in the early 1980s to allow casinos to operate as they did here in the 1920s, Florida lawmakers have declined to embrace open and widespread gaming. They — and the Florida voters who thwarted the initiative — fear Florida would turn into a Nevada or, worse, Atlantic City.

Even the Florida Chamber of Commerce, whose legislative slogan this year was “the Battle for Free Enterprise,” opposes free enterprise for the casino industry.

Gambling is a foolish endeavor. And yet, it’s understandable how it can be fun, especially if you can afford to lose what you lose. It’s a form of recreation and entertainment. A choice everyone can make.

And that’s what makes the Seminole compact difficult to justify. Why do the Seminoles deserve a statesanctioned monopoly on casinos, free from the pressures of direct competition? What makes “the state” the rightful and most competent owners and operators of a lottery?

But what people seldom see when government interferes with restrictive measures (e.g. limiting the supply of casinos), government is making things more expensive (e.g. Hard Rock hotel rooms). And as Ludwig von Mises put it: “Such measures make people poorer … Every restrictive measure brings advantages to a limited group of people while it affects adversely all others, or at least a majority of others. The interventions, therefore, may be regarded as privileges, which are granted to some at the expense of others.”

Perhaps think of it this way: If there were more casinos in Florida, that would increase the competition for Floridians’ and tourists’ recreational dollars. All tourist attractions — Disney, beach resorts, golf courses, professional sports, theaters, etc. — would feel the pressure of competition, which in turn holds down prices for consumers.

With the gaming compact, Florida taxpayers may think they’re getting free money from the Seminoles, when in fact, they’re paying higher prices.

It’s a maxim of gambling: Only the house wins. In this case, the Seminoles.

Golf Club Study Committee held its first meeting since the town hall. Although committee members said they valued the chance to hear from the public, it’s still not yet clear how the input will shape the conversation regarding the potential historic restoration.

“I think each member of the committee is looking from their own personal point of view,” Smith said. “That most likely will be the last item that we deal with, because it’s definitely struck some chords for a lot of people.”

DATE

Dan Smith, chairman of the Bobby Jones Golf Club Study Committee, addresses the crowd at a town hall meeting Oct. 8, held at the facility clubhouse.

185994

Some of the Sarasota residents gathered Oct. 8, in the clubhouse at Bobby Jones Golf Club, were avid golfers. Others didn’t care for the game. But they all had an interest in the future of the cityowned facility.

The meeting was convened by the Bobby Jones Golf Club Study Committee, an advisory board that’s determining the future needs of a course beset by aging facilities and declining revenues.

By Dec. 14, the committee is expected to produce a finalized report of recommendations.

Although the group has found some significant common ground over its first seven months, it was interested in gathering more input from city residents, golfers and non-golfers alike.

More than a dozen people spoke about the future of the course at the town hall-style meeting, with nearly 60 other individuals sharing their thoughts via email. Naturally, that produced a diverse mix of opinions. Taken together, however, a common theme emerged: Keep it simple.

Although there was consensus that the conditions in the course had deteriorated over the past five to 10 years, there wasn’t a clamor

for major upheaval. Doing a better job of maintaining the grounds while keeping the prices competitive would help significantly, several speakers stated.

To date, the biggest point of disagreement among the board is the question of whether the city should restore an original 1925 course designed by noted golf architect Donald Ross. The advocacy group Friends of Bobby Jones has led the call for that restoration, and three committee members are also members of Friends of Bobby Jones.

But there were more speakers at the town meeting pushing back against that proposal than supporting it. Critics suggested the name “Donald Ross” doesn’t have cachet for most golfers and that the extra work wouldn’t bring enough benefits in return.

Kathy Kelley Ohlrich is not a golfer, but her in-laws used to play the course regularly and tell tales about Bobby Jones.

“The many times we heard about Bobby Jones, we never heard about Douglas (sic) Ross,” Ohlrich said. “I don’t know who he is.”

Several speakers also spoke negatively about the idea of replacing the clubhouse, a proposal the study committee unanimously supports. Based on the advice of

CO NV E RSAT IO N WITH MARK PRITCHETT

G

ulf Coast Community Foundation President and CEO Mark Pritchett has a background in public policy research and higher education, but he considers himself an entrepreneur at heart.

Recently promoted to the role of president/CEO, Pritchett joined the foundation staff in 2008. He’s been involved in programs that combine education and the workforce, such as STEMsmart and CareerEdge. He also launched the Gulf Coast Innovation Challenge, to spur sustainable economic development in the marine sciences sector.

What are some of the challenges nonprofits face today?

Now that we’re coming out of the recession, they have more money, which is good, but there’s such a proliferation of nonprofits in our region that makes it difficult sometimes to schedule things and get things done and get all the right donors in, in a big way.

This year, we had some nonprofits like Boys and Girls Club and Big Brothers, Big Sisters take a hit because Gov. (Rick) Scott vetoed some dollars, and they were safety net dollars ... So we’ve been having to help some nonprofits with that.

then we fund them, instead of the nonprofits coming at us and saying, “This is what I think the problem is.” The challenge with that is they come from a certain constituency, a certain perspective, but sometimes, they don’t see the big system.

For the Homeless Children and Families initiative, we’ve brought over 30 nonprofits together — and it was really interesting where they saw gaps in the system. We said, “How do we make this more of a seamless system to help our children and families?”...Having that more systemic approach is smart philanthropy.

As the recession abated, did GCCF change its focus?

Since 2010, we’ve been doing less responsive grant-making and more large initiatives where we focus on data and information.

We look at a system, and then, we attack the system and bring our nonprofits in to help us, and

How does GCCF deal with overlapping initiatives with local governments?

What we don’t want to do is fill the role that we think government should take, but we’re happy to take a problem or an issue and find a more efficient or effective way to deal with it and put our money, invest in it and

show how it can work.

With CareerEdge, our workforce initiative, our CareerEdge point person, Mireya Eavey, actually sat with the school board and the county government and presented data saying, “Our local manufacturers aren’t getting the skilled workforce they need, and here’s where we can start.” Mireya took 60-plus job descriptions and distilled them down into a core set of skills.

With that information, we came up with a precision machining program in about a six- to nine-month time period.

Describe the foundation’s relationship with universities locally and statewide.

Every year, we provide scholarships to qualified students who can go to either local or out-of state-universities. ...

With State College of Florida, we put in some significant seed money back in 2009 or 2010 to get its four-year nursing degree going. ...

The third thing that we’ve been involved in just recently is called C4, the Creative Coast College Consortium. We’ve been meeting with the university presidents locally ... and they want to meet on a regular basis. They want to start sharing courses and classes and maybe some different operations like emergency management together.

Mark Pritchett brings work in public policy, education and a sense of entrepreneurial spirit to the helm of the Gulf Coast Community Foundation.

What are the long-term plans for maintaining and expanding your donor base?

A community foundation has to meet the public support test, meaning, if we’re to continue to get IRS tax-exempt status, we’re to bring in new donors constantly. We just can’t have one single big lump of money and not get

donors. So my predecessor, Teri Hansen, did a great job of that.

What we want to do is continue that trajectory. Since 2008, we’ve had this exponential rise in the number of new donor funds. We went from less than 100 to over 600 funds. We have a certain kind of donor profile that we look for — people who are interested in

(The next generation goes) after causes more than they do organizations. They use technology more. They are even forming for-profit corporations that split off part of their profits to do good, like Tom’s shoes, Ben & Jerry’s, and so they attract a whole different market, and we have to adjust to that.

What are your personal goals for the foundation?

I’ve told my board I want them to feel engaged and feel like we’re a leader in the community, and I want our staff to perform at a high level of excellence.

Our value proposition is not about not how big our endowment is, and it’s not how many donors we have. All that is important, but it’s how we’re perceived as leaders in the community that matters most. That’s where we make our change and attract donors.

WEYMOUTH DR.

The Spanos Corp. received approval for a 240-unit community of three-story apartment buildings in Palmer Ranch despite objections from residents of the nearby Wellington Chase neighborhood.

At the Oct. 27 Sarasota County Commission meeting, residents argued that apartment buildings will loom over Wellington’s single-family homes, especially along Weymouth Drive, the closest street to the proposed apartments.

The apartments are planned for a 20-acre portion of a parcel under contract for purchase by Spanos.

“It’s the wrong fit for this type of neighborhood,” Wellington Chase resident John Cleary said.

The proposal originally called for two buildings with four stories and a combined 252 units, but Spanos made concessions during the commission meeting that resulted in six buildings with three stories and 240 units instead.

“We think the plan approved, with the stringent conditions, will result in a project that will exceed what’s required by the county code,” said attorney Charles Bailey, who represents Spanos.

Homeowners Association, said compatibility is at the crux of the issue, noting that appropriate densities for development are tied to adjacent land use, and large disparities in density should be avoided.

The Wellington HOA hoped to persuade commissioners to approve two-story development with a density of 5 units per acre instead of the approved threestory building and 12 units per acre. Wellington Chase’s density is less than 2 units per acre.

At press time Cleary said the Wellington Chase HOA board of directors planned to decide at their Oct. 28 meeting whether to appeal the decision.

Commissioner Charles Hines cast the lone vote against the measure.

“It’s a little too dense in regard to building height,” he told the Sarasota Observer, adding that the proposed landscape buffer between developments wouldn’t block enough of the view.

The parcel is part of a larger development, the Palmer Ranch Commerce Park, which has 177 acres of mixed-use development.

Chamber hosts annual Salute to Business luncheon

T

he Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce hosted its 95th annual membership meeting and Tuesday, in the Hyatt Regency Sarasota ballroom.

Hundreds of local business leaders, family members and friends reflected on the last year and honored organizations for their decades-long support.

The late Rod Warner was honored at the luncheon.

Affectionately known as “Mr. Roundabout,” Warner was a vocal advocate of implementing roundabouts in the city and county’s streets and thoroughfares. In honor of his efforts and impact on Sarasota, the chamber posthumously awarded Warner the Chairman’s Cup. His daughter, Amanda Warner, accepted the honor on behalf of her father and her family.

“He will have more impact on your daily life than any individual here,” says Chris Gallagher, outgoing chairman of the Sarasota Chamber of Commerce.

“His is the finest expression of a civic leader. I never saw him strong-arm anyone or criticize anyone.”

A glimpse of the way things were from the archives.

AMANDA MORALES STAFF WRITER

OCT. 27, 1983 Residents, visitors and commuters could only travel to and from Longboat Key and Sarasota by ferry when the New Pass bridge broke down in 1983.

The south span of the bridge became stuck in a partially open position after it was lowered for a sailboat. Traffic was rerouted to the north end of Longboat Key, a distance of 35 miles roundtrip.

The Florida Department of Transportation agreed to a deal with La Barge boats to ferry people to Longboat Key.

Between the ferry and buses, FDOT spent nearly $3,000 a day to transport people while the bridge was being repaired.

Passengers aboard the ferry ranged from businessmen to golfers looking forward to a day on the links.

OCT. 30, 1997 Age was nothing but a number for the athletes who competed in the Senior Games. Hundreds of seniors from across the county participated in javelin, tennis, horseshoes, swimming, track and more.

Hetty Lange, then 86, put her skills to work on the javelin throw

POWER STRUGGLE 6:50 p.m. — 300 block of East Cornelius Circle Dispute: A man reported his landlord for turning off the power to his room and restricting him from using the dryer or stove in their shared home. The landlord told an officer that the home was having power issues that were not solely contained to the man’s room. He also said that the stove and dryer were his appliances and that he did not want the man to use them. The officer told the man that he could not make the landlord share his appliances.

UNWELCOME GUESTS 12:38 a.m. — 400 block of St. Armands Circle Dispute: An officer was dispatched to the area after receiving a report of a disturbance.

The officer made contact with two women, both of whom were heavily intoxicated. Both women had been kicked out of multiple bars in the area and got into a dispute with a cab driver before the officer arrived. None of the parties involved in those altercations wished to press charges.

Both women, who were visiting the area on vacation, were transported to their hotel without further incident.

Sarasota High girls basketball coach Rob Jutras founded the Kyle Jutras Scholarship Foundation earlier this year in honor of his son, Kyle, a Sarasota teacher and boys basketball coach, who died of NUT midline carcinoma.

Coach’s legacy

Lives on Kyle Jutras’ family honors his memory through a new scholarship foundation in his name.

JEN BLANCO SPORTS EDITOR

Standing in the Sarasota High gymnasium for a dodgeball tournament fundraiser in June 2014, Kyle Jutras watched as students, colleagues, family and friends rose to their feet in ovation for him.

A smile spread across his tired face. For a brief moment, he was no longer a cancer patient but simply a teacher and a basketball coach.

“He was dead tired and not feeling well, but he got so much energy from that night,” Kyle’s father, Rob Jutras says.

In just 18 months of teaching at Sarasota High, Kyle Jutras, 24, who died of NUT midline carcinoma Sept. 29, 2014, made an impact on students and teachers alike. Now, Rob, who is the coach of Sarasota’s girls basketball team, is keeping his son’s legacy alive through the Kyle Jutras Scholarship Foundation.

On Nov. 10 and Nov. 12, the foundation will host its second Jammin’ for Jutras Pre-Season Classic, featuring six local high school boys basketball teams, including Sarasota High and Venice High, where Kyle Jutras was a standout guard. Proceeds will benefit the nonprofit founda-

tion established earlier this year in Kyle’s name to award scholarships and assist graduating high school seniors in Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties.

“It’s bigger than me, and it’s bigger than my son,” Rob says.

“We just wanted to be able to do some good and help a lot of people in his name. It’s a vehicle for making a difference and promoting education.”

Kyle’s passion for education and athletics began at an early age and only intensified in high school.

A 2009 graduate of Venice High, Kyle spent four years as a guard for the Indians varsity basketball team, helping lead Venice to its first district championship since 1972 as a senior. As captain, he went on to hit the gamewinning shot in the regional semifinals, sending Venice to the regional finals.

“He enjoyed competing and being with his teammates,” Rob says. “He loved being part of a team.”

Kyle attended the University of South Florida, where he earned a degree in mathematics education.

He returned home to Sarasota in spring 2013 after landing a student-teaching position in Sarasota High’s math department. He

was hired full time that fall.

“That was his love,” Rob says of his son, who scored a perfect 800 on the math portion of the SAT. “He really understood math and could explain it. It was something he was meant to do.”

Kyle reconnected with former Venice High basketball coach Steve Cavallaro, who was coaching the Sailors at the time. Cavallaro encouraged Kyle to get into coaching, and shortly thereafter, Kyle began coaching Sarasota’s JV boys basketball team.

In April 2014, Kyle developed a cough that wouldn’t go away. He spent the next three weeks trying to fight off what he thought was a common cold to no avail. A chest X-ray soon revealed a mass SEE JUTRAS PAGE 18A

last weeks surrounded by his loved ones.

Through it all, his smile never wavered.

Nearly seven months after his son’s death, Rob created the Kyle Jutras Scholarship Foundation.

In August, the foundation awarded six area high school students with $1,000 scholarships.

In addition to Jammin’ for Jutras, the foundation also plans to host the Sarasota-Manatee Boys & Girls Basketball Game March 26 and will present $500 scholarships to the Most Outstanding Player from each game.

The foundation plans to hold four to five events throughout the year with the goal of awarding $25,000 in scholarships each May. “I think he would be embarrassed by all of the attention,” Rob says of Kyle. “He was kind of a worker bee. He was never one to want to be noticed or recognized.

But I think he would be proud, too.”

on his lung. He was eventually diagnosed with NUT midline carcinoma — a rare, aggressive form of cancer that attacks the body’s midline.

“You just never expect something like that, and there’s no way to prepare for it in your mind,” Rob says. “It almost didn’t seem real because it went against his lifestyle and being a healthy kid.

It just doesn’t make sense.”

Following his diagnosis, Kyle boarded a plane to Houston and spent roughly three months receiving radiation and experimental treatments at MD Anderson Cancer Center.

During his treatment, the community began rallying around the Jutras family, raising money for travel costs and other expenses.

Always the optimist, Kyle didn’t believe he would need the money.

He wanted it to go to someone who could really use it. Kyle and his father eventually agreed that, in the event the money wasn’t needed, the Jutrases would create a scholarship foundation.

“He was going to beat it,” Rob says. “The kid was fearless. He believed he would go on and do some good things. That’s part of being young. You somewhat feel invincible, and that was his case.”

With the experimental treatment deemed a success initially, Kyle returned to teaching in August 2014. Four days later, he developed a bump on his back.

His cancer had spread.

Kyle stopped teaching 10 days into the school year and returned to Houston Sept. 5, 2014. Doctors told him he had roughly four months, but he would only live three more weeks. He returned home to Sarasota and spent those

Community helps strengthen Pillar of Hope

W

hen guests walk into the Child Protection Center, the first thing they notice is the Pillar of Hope.

The cylindrical pillar is clear with a colorful double-helix that climbs up to a skylight. Gathered at the base of the pillar are hundreds of blue marbles that represent the children whom the CPC has helped to overcome the effects abuse.

An Oct. 22 open house gave members of the community the chance to add marbles of their own through donations. Executive Director Doug Staley greeted guests before taking them on a tour of the facility. With each donation made, donors could drop a marble into the pillar, with colors corresponding to the amount they gave.

“Right now I have happy goosebumps hearing the marbles drop,” Staley said. “But during the daytime, it’s sad when you hear the marble drop, because it’s a child. A kid’s disposition has changed when they add a marble to the pillar.”

After the tour, guests enjoyed music and tastings from local restaurants.

omecoming celebrations at Sarasota High School and Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School brought together alumni and current students for a show of school spirit.

Past and present Sarasota High School students cheered on the Sailors to a 33-13 win over the North Port Bobcats Oct. 23.

Members of the 1965 Sailors football team were in attendance to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their undefeated season.

Seniors Alyssa Sloan and Ryan Jenkins were crowned queen and king.

Across town, Friday meant fry day for families and alumni celebrating homecoming at Cardinal Mooney.

Festivities began with a fish fry before the football game against Victory Christian Academy. A group of alumni from the class of 1965 and most classes since were present to scroll through old yearbooks.

Fried foods were provided by Walt's Fish Market and Restaurant.

This year's gathering also included a haunted house created by students.

Hudson Bayou neighbors come together for picnic

Pumpkins float at YMCA Fall Fest Photos by Amanda Morales

U

nder the shade of trees on a sunny afternoon, Hudson Bayou residents enjoyed catching up with their neighbors during a picnic.

More than 100 residents gathered Oct. 18, at the cleared lot on the corner of Citrus Avenue and Bahia Vista Street.

The event was hosted by the Hudson Bayou Neighborhood Association. Food was catered

by Alday’s BBQ. Everyone in attendance was encouraged to bring a hot dish or dessert. All contributions were entered into a contest.

Neighbors Stephanie Wingate, Kent Hofmeister, Paul Cardi and John McCue enjoy lunch together.

I

n true Florida fashion, the Sarasota Family YMCA celebrated Fall Fest with a floating pumpkin patch Oct. 16.

Small pumpkins floated in the wading waters of the water park for children to swim out and retrieve. The Florida Swimming Pool Association sponsored

the pumpkin patch, which gave families the chance to enjoy the water park before it closes until spring.

Other attractions included bounce houses, face painting, hayrides and trick-or-treating.

— AMANDA MORALES

Chuckie Defazio, aka Robin, shows off the pumpkin he retrieved from the floating pumpkin patch.

Twin sisters Gaines and Grier Turnbull enjoy chocolate chip cookies.
