Rosemary seeks voice in homeless planning

HISTORY LESSON Despite the presence of a downtown historic district, some leaders fear Sarasota’s urban core is losing its connection to the past.

City residents watch closely as the county revives plans for a come-as-you-are shelter.

ALEX MAHADEVAN DIGITAL EDITOR

The city of Sarasota has its eightpoint homeless plan. Sarasota County has paid thousands for consultant Robert Marbut to craft 12 initiatives for tackling the issue, and a group of local CEOs has put together a “3 to 1 plan” to address chronic homelessness.

But Wednesday, a day after the County Commission asked staff to explore the feasibility of undertaking the latter plan, longtime Rosemary District-based commercial Realtor Ian Black

WEEK OF JUNE 25 2015

“The reality is, to stimulate a project like this, I think it requires perhaps more of a generalist than the public is actually looking for.”

County budget set to fall 6% While Sarasota County is set to add more than 100 new employees in the next fiscal year, its overall budget is slated to fall nearly 6%. If approved, it will be the first time the county’s budget has decreased since the 2012 fiscal year.

Commissioners met for a budget workshop Wednesday to discuss the $1.08 billion preliminary budget, which includes a 2% increase in operating spending and 5% more general fund expenditures than the previous year. The county aims to hold its millage rate steady at 3.39, which remains the second lowest rate in Florida.

The county’s operating budget continues an upward trajectory it has followed since the 2011 fiscal year, with the department planning for a 19% increase in operating costs and a 13% increase in its overall budget.

On the revenue side, staff expect impact fees to increase 48% to $19.9 million and property taxes to jump 7% to $149.9 million.

Tourist development taxes, which have been on a steady incline, are expected to increase 8% to $18.2 million.

WHAT’S THE BUZZ? One of the largest vacant properties in Southside Village could soon see new life, as two Bradenton-based medical business owners this month bought the building that previously housed Sam Snead’s American Grill for $4.1 million.

Longtime Morton’s Gourmet Market co-owner Eddie Morton said he had heard pharmacy owners had purchased the site at 1830 S. Osprey Ave., but did not know of any potential tenants.

The city of Sarasota doesn’t have any building permits pending for the site.

We asked our Facebook followers what they would like to see at the location:

“If it were to stay a restaurant on the end, the neighborhood could surely use and support an awesome Mexican restaurant or excellent pizza joint. And for the other vacant units, please no more salons, nails or spa.”

STATE STREET GARAGE TO BE COMPLETED More than four months have elapsed since the original targeted completion date for a portion of the State Street parking garage, but city staff believes the end is in sight.

City staff first believed a substantial segment of the garage would be completed in February.

By January, that date was pushed to late March. It then moved to mid-May, then late-May and, most recently, mid-June following a variety of delays. Now — after encountering problems with utilities during construction this month — the partial completion of the garage has been pushed

back yet again.

Still, the city believes the project should be wrapped up in just a few weeks. According to city Chief Planner Steve Stancel, those utilities issues are resolved now, and he expects the entire garage to be open by July 3.

“There will still be some things ongoing — landscaping, painting, trim — but those are minor things,” Stancel said. “The garage itself should be complete.”

Stancel said the contract for the totality of work on the garage runs through July 12. Once completed, the garage will provide 395 parking spaces.

City leaders, residents wade into

FLOODING ISSUES

Those who want to address the regular flooding problem on Sarasota streets believe that new construction is making problems worse.

DAVID CONWAY NEWS EDITOR

Like clockwork, as the weather starts to warm up and snowbirds head north for the summer, heavy rain leads to flooding on many streets in the city of Sarasota.

Just because it’s become a regular occurrence every year, however, doesn’t mean that city officials and residents are willing to accept the conditions. At meetings of the Coalition of City Neighborhood Associations, neighborhood representatives for areas such as Harbor Acres regularly note that flooding affects their residential streets.

At the May 18 City Commission meeting, Commissioner Susan Chapman called attention to the issue of street flooding. After one Saturday morning “summertime deluge” of rain, she said, there was significant flooding in the area of the Robert L. Taylor Community Complex and near the U.S. 41 and Gulfstream Avenue intersection.

“It’s a safety hazard as well as a drainage issue that we should really be paying attention to,” Chapman said.

Although this is not a new problem, both residents and Chapman pointed a finger at one factor they felt was amplifying the effects of street flooding: construction.

Residents say the increased market for new homes has made matters worse, and Chapman said the flooding issues were most severe in the shadow of the construction site for the Vue Sarasota Bay project.

“It seems to have gotten worse since the construction of the Vue started,” Chapman said. “I’m very concerned because the water is getting really deep there.”

The city’s stormwater system is managed by Sarasota County.

Molly Williams, the county’s stormwater manager, acknowledges that flooding is an issue in the city — particularly downtown, which developed before comprehensive stormwater management regulations were established.

“Unfortunately, it’s an area that’s highly urbanized and was built at a time when there weren't requirements like there are currently,” Williams said.

Although increasing the urban density can make matters worse, Williams said most municipalities will recommend a lowimpact design and have their own mitigation standards to make sure the system is operating as well or better than it did before the new construction.

The county itself doesn’t respond to specific complaints in the areas for which it man-

ages stormwater infrastructure, but Williams said staff keeps a close eye on which portions of the system need maintenance work. Again, in downtown Sarasota, much of the system is aging — which makes drainage a bigger challenge, but is a complicating

factor that the county monitors.

“We evaluate which system is most likely to need some additional maintenance by looking at various factors,” Williams said.

“Age and material are two of the main factors.”

Although Chapman and oth-

ers may not be satisfied with the status quo, the county is focused on making the level of service for stormwater management doesn’t deteriorate.

“We’re working proactively to make sure the system continues to operate,” Williams said.

route to the water.

“When the rope went down, people saw an easy access to go to the beach,” Shoffstall said.

“I’ve been watching it, and people started to walk across just to make it easier for them to get to the beach — walking across the vegetation and everything.”

Earlier this month, Shoffstall reached out to county officials to get the rope replaced as soon as possible. In addition to the harm to the natural environment along the dunes, Shoffstall was intent on preserving the integrity of the dunes themselves.

In an area with a critically erod-

ed shoreline, with the county and the city teaming up earlier this year to restore sand lost during Tropical Storm Debby in 2012, the sandy reserves are a valuable resource.

“We’re trying to keep everybody off the dunes,” Shoffstall said. “The dunes are the protection for Lido, in case there’s a storm or something. It’s holding the beach.”

Although replacing a rope is a relatively easy fix — one the county was able to act on within a few weeks of Shoffstall’s message — it doesn’t end the threat to the dunes. George Tatge, the county’s manager of beaches and water access parks, said that this

problem has existed in one form or another for the entirety of his 15-year tenure.

“People are always looking for the shortest distance between them and the water’s edge,” Tatge said. “That’s the problem we’re trying to solve — providing safe and environmentally healthy access to the water.”

In detailing the value of the dunes, Tatge reiterated Shoffstall’s point that it was an important backup sand source in the event of a tropical storm. Additionally, it’s a crucial part of the beach ecosystem.

“It provides a space for our beach wildlife to forage, to hunker down in times of danger,” Tatge said. “It’s a wildlife habitat.”

Tatge said people often climb over a 3-foot retaining wall blocking off access to the dunes just to take advantage of the shortest route to the beach. That adds another dimension to the issue: Someone not utilizing the proper path to the beach becomes a safety hazard, as well.

“The water out there is very great for some people, and they’re too excited and can’t seem to find the appropriate way around to the water,” Tatge said.

He’s working alongside the city on some potential solutions for addressing this ongoing problem. One of those solutions is

educating the average beachgoer about the right and wrong ways to access the beach. Tatge thinks the signage that’s already in place could be clearer. Signs direct visitors to access the beach via designated trails only, but there’s no additional information on which trails are designated.

“We put this sign up to block the trail, and people could think that’s where the designated trail is,” Tatge said.

To fix that problem, Tatge suggests a more formal naming designation for the beach access points on Lido, similar to those in place on Siesta Key Beach. By compiling a comprehensive wayfinding map with a detailed list of which access points are OK to use, Tatge hopes the dunes will have less feet trampling atop them.

As Siesta Key Beach has gotten wider over the past several years, Tatge mentioned that beachgoers sometimes have a difficult time lugging all of their gear near the water. Still, at that beach, the county hasn’t observed the same problems that have plagued Lido for more than a decade.

“Now that they just nourished Lido, it’s still not a wide beach,” Tatge said. “There really is no excuse for taking that shortcut.

They just need to use the designated trails.”

“People are always looking for the shortest distance between them and the water’s edge. That’s the problem we’re trying to solve — providing safe and environmentally healthy access to the water.”

Downtown leaders revisit the past Ernie Ritz is worried the Downtown Historic District may be losing its connection to the city’s roots.

DAVID CONWAY NEWS EDITOR

Ernie Ritz went before the city’s Historic Preservation Board in May to complain that too many buildings were being altered or demolished in the downtown historic district — a district he helped establish in 2009.

Based on the response he got from the board, Ritz started to suspect the problem was bigger

than he originally believed. One board member asked him where, exactly, the downtown historic district was. Another one was surprised to learn it existed at all.

“If they don’t know, then how would the general public know?”

Ritz said. “How would a property owner know?”

Ritz, the former chairman of the city’s Downtown Improvement District, is searching for a way to increase awareness regarding the downtown historic district. After all, awareness was the entire reason the historic district was founded. Ritz was tired of seeing signs along I-75 adver-

“I’m setting out to identify the area a little bit stronger. We did a lot to improve it, but still, people don’t know that it’s a historic district.”

— Ernie Ritz, the former chairman of the city’s Downtown Improvement District

200 FEET

tising Mote Marine Aquarium, St. Armands Circle and the beaches but not downtown Sarasota, so he searched for a solution.

Ritz learned one way to get a sign along the highway was to establish a historic district.

Working alongside former Downtown Sarasota Alliance Chairman Tony Souza, Ritz helped draw up the boundaries of that district, which extends across segments of Main Street, Pineapple Avenue, Mira Mar Plaza and Palm Avenue.

“We thought it would give Sarasota a sense of place,” Ritz said. “When you see it, visitors and residents alike would know where they are.”

The district is anchored by six buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, but 73% of the

properties within the boundaries contributed to the historic distinction, Souza said. That’s why the lack of awareness is such a concern: Despite the presence of buildings that date back to Sarasota’s early-1900s roots, some buildings are being renovated or demolished without any consideration of their intrinsic value.

“Those buildings, indeed, should look like they’re still in the ’20s, ’30s and ’40s, but with updated interiors,” Souza said.

“That’s not happening here.”

At Tuesday’s Downtown Improvement District Meeting, Ritz and Souza spoke to the board about the importance of preserving — and playing up — the historic character of some downtown buildings. Ritz applauds the work

the DID has done during and after his tenure, but despite a smattering of streetscape and landscaping projects, the buildings themselves are a crucial piece of the puzzle when emphasizing history.

As projects like The Jewel and the Taco Bus along Main Street include the demolition of older buildings, Ritz wants to make sure the past isn’t erased completely.

“I’m setting out to identify the area a little bit stronger,” Ritz explained. “We did a lot to improve it, but still, people don’t know that it’s a historic district.”

Souza and Ritz said incentives exist to encourage property owners within the downtown historic district to renovate according to certain preservation guidelines.

They also wanted to take things a step further — perhaps creating a local historic district, a state distinction that requires a more intensive approval process before any construction can take place on applicable properties.

“They’ve found, throughout the country, that these never decrease in value,” Souza said.

“It’s a safe haven for property owners.”

Ritz also advocated for capitalizing on the planned roundabout at Orange Avenue and Main Street. As the city’s Public Art Committee works on curating artwork to place in the center of all of the city’s planned roundabouts, Ritz suggested something harkening back to Sarasota’s origins would be a natural fit for that particular intersection.

Among members of the DID board, there was some skepticism regarding the aesthetic value of many downtown buildings that could be construed as historic. Other members wondered

whether it was too late to preserve a significant portion of downtown’s history — particularly considering the pending demolition of the DeMarcay Hotel and Roth Cigar Factory, two of the six properties on the national register.

Still, Ritz and Souza believe that, in the right environment, the downtown core can grow to place a greater emphasis on its origins. Ritz pointed to the renovation of the Gator Club and Patrick’s 1481 buildings, both of which were modified to restore elements of their historic façade.

Souza wagered that, beneath the surface of many downtown buildings, a more charming storefront is waiting to be discovered.

“Just because a building doesn’t look historic anymore doesn’t mean it’s not historic,” Souza said.

The DID board offered an endorsement for Ritz’s efforts, but that’s just the beginning of his campaign. City officials suggested he gather support from a variety of lower-level advisory boards, including the Historic Preservation Board, before making his way up to the City Commission.

Ultimately, Ritz says, he wants to empower property owners to act with the knowledge their buildings are in a historic district — because he believes that, if given the opportunity, they’d value the history of downtown just as much as he does.

“Let people be aware that it’s there and that there’s something they can do to keep it there,” Ritz said. “Otherwise, you just keep on knocking buildings down or defacing them in a way that we could eventually lose our designation.”

Lift station hits more stumbling blocks Contrary to what officials stated at a meeting earlier this month, two homeowners informed the city they don’t want their property torn up to install sewer lines. advantage in an ongoing lawsuit with a previous engineering firm.

Although the current engineering firm was committed to the microtunneling approach, a lawyer the city retained to work on the Lift Station 87 project said officials should at least think about the open cut option. To do so, Alan Tannenbaum acknowledged, the city would have to encroach on private property — but affected property owners already suggested they’d be OK with the disruption, he said.

Although Court had been casually following the developments of the project in the news, that meeting was off of her radar — as was the peculiar idea she would let the city tear up her property.

“Of course, the answer was no,” Court said. “I never had any idea it was even being considered.”

This confusion wasn’t an isolated incident. Cathy Layton, like Court, resides on Lincoln Drive near Hudson Bayou. Like Court, Layton’s property would have been affected by an alternate open-cut option, and like Court, she didn’t find out about the city’s plans until a friend told her about the meeting after the fact.

Neither Court nor Layton knows the origins of that miscommunication. Neither one was in close contact with anyone involved in the project, they say.

DAVID CONWAY NEWS EDITOR

Georgia Court was out for a walk on a Saturday morning when a neighbor shared a surprising bit of news: According to a city lawyer at a recent meeting, Court had agreed to let the city dig a ditch through her yard to install sewage pipes.

At that City Commission meeting, the board was debating a project plagued with setbacks, the construction of Lift Station 87 at the intersection of U.S. 301 and Mound Street. A portion of that meeting was devoted to considering the merits of a “microtunneling” approach for installing pipes, thought to be less expensive and less invasive, versus an “open cut” approach, which could give the city an $35 million 30 25

Both were quick to send messages to the city to clarify that they did not, in fact, consent to the use of their property.

“I would not consent to them putting a major sewer line through my property,” Court said. “That’s the answer to that one.”

This misstep may not end up leaving a big impact on the Lift Station 87 project, because engineering firm McKim & Creed has preferred a microtunneling approach all along. Project Manager Robert Garland said his team is awaiting direction from the commission on how to proceed, as it has already obtained a permit for microtunneling.

Still, it is another mistake in a long line of errors associated with Lift Station 87. Today, the costs are projected at $32 million, more than three times the original bid

for construction. The most recent timeline has the project completion scheduled for August 2020, nine years longer than expected.

Commissioner Susan Chapman said she was able to track down an explanation for the crossed wires — although she wasn’t necessarily satisfied with the logic.

“They said, ‘Well, she was really pleasant and nice and we assumed she would agree,’” Chapman said.

Chapman, whose history with the project dates back to the original site selection, said there are more problems with the Luke Wood Park site than a preliminary analysis indicated. Citing the drawn-out process for picking a home for the lift station, Chapman still believes the best way forward is the current location.

“We’ve just got to get it done, because not doing it and hesitating — it just costs more and more money,” Chapman said. “The question is, how are we going to pay for it?”

That’s not to say she’s fine with the current course of action.

Chapman indicated she’d be interested in bringing aboard a specialist whose work entails “moving troubled projects faster, cheaper and smarter.”

As the City Commission has deferred any action during the last two discussions of the lift station, Garland said he’s eager to push ahead on construction of the lift station once he gets approval.

“We appreciate the continued patience of the residents,” Garland said. “We look forward to getting this done.”

“Of course the answer is no. I never had any idea it was being considered.”

“I wanted them to be very clear that that was not OK with us — that we were not agreeing with being an alternative.”

Rosemary fears uncertainty was dumbfounded as to why his neighborhood — which is arguably ground zero for visible homelessness — was left out of participating in those conversations.

“I’m trying to keep my cool,” said Black, who has watched the ebb and flow of homelessness in Rosemary for more than two decades. “We don’t have a voice right now and that’s what concerns me.”

The “3 to 1 plan,” which would consolidate social services in a 24-hour capacity at the Salvation Army or the Harvest House on North Lime Avenue, was born out of out of a coalition of socialservice agencies called the CEO Group.

Sarasota Family YMCA President and CEO Kurt Stringfellow, who helped bring together CEO Group members, said the plan came out of nearly five months of conversations, and will not be rushed. He said it’s flexible and should be considered along with a variety of options for spearheading regional homeless problems.

“The ‘3 to 1 plan’ is just a plan— it’s not the plan,” Stringfellow said. “I think it’s very important for the city, the county and the CEO Group to all work together to help solve the issue.”

But, in his address to county commissioners, Marbut continued to assert that the longer the community puts off a portal for the chronically homeless, the larger that population will grow.

Marbut told the Sarasota Observer that converting the Salvation Army to a 24-hour shelter

could reduce visible homelessness in the Rosemary District.

Black said he is wary of taking the risk of intensifying social services within the district, which is on the verge of multiple new developments.

“We have a lot money at risk with all this investment in the area,” Black said.

County commissioners plan to draft a letter to city commissioners requesting input on the CEO plan or the possibility of building a shelter outside city limts.

Talks between the county and city about such a facility broke down last year, but Marbut said he was hopeful about newly elected city commissioners.

“I think we need to extend that olive branch and have that really difficult conversation with the city of Sarasota about this issue,” said Commissioner Carolyn Mason.

“

SARASOTA & SIESTA KEY

In Sarasota, often times it doesn’t matter what you own, or what city codes entitle you to do. Complainers trump property rights.

The ‘taking’ of your property So the neighbors want the Ringling Shopping Center to become — and we quote from their Facebook page — “an urban village that emphasizes the public realm, walkability, mixed-uses, community, diversity and quality over quantity.”

Says urban village advocate Holly Dennis: “I’d like to be sensible about this. Let’s allow for a creative design process to occur, and not just throw up something and say, ‘Oh gee, we just put some more acne on our city.’”

Right on, you say to yourself. All that sounds wonderful.

Ok, fine. Then buy it.

And good luck figuring out how to have that “creative design process” and how to finance that dreamy walkable, diverse urban village.

Poor Louis Doyle, owner of the almost vacant Ringling Shopping Center, just east of downtown Sarasota and U.S. 301. Talk about a victim.

He is a victim. No matter how you look at it, Sarasota city government has unjustly — and we’ll say unlawfully — infringed on his use of his property and denied him the legal use and value of his property.

All because of a vocal minority of residents and weak city commissioners who clearly don’t understand or care about the nature of private property and property rights.

This has been a tragic fiasco of the first order, reminiscent of the battle Ron Burks endured when he tried to develop a condominium-retailoffice project near the Alta Vista neighborhood.

Eventually, he gave up, exhausted after years of fighting the same antigrowth, anti-development forces in Alta Vista, who argue as if they are legally entitled to force a property owner to do what they want.

In Sarasota, often times it doesn’t matter what you own, or what city codes entitle you to do. Complainers trump ownership rights.

Louis Doyle is a perfect example.

In spite of going through all of the city’s development processes two years ago and receiving approval from the planning board and strong recommendations in his favor from the city staff, the City Commission caved to neighborhood pressure to deny Doyle from taking on a miniWalmart store as a tenant at the decaying Ringling Shopping Center.

He has been unable to move forward ever since — unclear of exactly what the city would allow to be developed on his site. All the while, with his store space vacant except for an Ace Hardware store, Doyle’s property has lost value and foregone lease revenue.

Were he to put his property up for sale, a prospective buyer would inquire: “What can I do here?” To which Doyle would respond: “No one knows.”

Why would anyone even think of buying that uncertainty? Clearly, that predicament has devalued Doyle’s property. And that is why he has filed a claim against the city, citing the Bert Harris Private Property Protection Act: “When a specific action of a governmental entity has inordinately burdened an existing use of real property or a vested right to a specific use of real property, the property owner of that real property is entitled to relief, which may include compensation for the actual loss to the fair-market value of the real property caused by the action of government, as provided in this section.”

The city’s confusing actions — and its subsequent inaction — are hurting more than Doyle. A vacant, decaying property drags down the values of nearby properties and neighborhoods, which in turn costs the city lost sales-tax revenue and lower property-tax revenues.

City Attorney Robert Fournier believes there is little merit to Doyle’s Bert Harris claim. That is scary and concerning.

If you add Fournier’s perspective to the actions of the City Commission toward the Ringling Shopping Center and the “no Walmart” chant of the powerful, vocal minority, ordinary Sarasota property owners should be alarmed.

For one, unpredictable property rights and land-use decisions have a chilling effect on economic growth and cause the price of real estate to rise out of reach of average citizens.

We see that already in Sarasota.

More important and more concerning is the body politic and citizens’ disregard for one of the fundamental tenets of American liberty: property ownership. Surely you shudder when you see a man’s property confiscated by the mob.

CONFEDERATE FLAG The claim that the Confederate flag is a symbol of racism, sadly, shows how far our culture and education system have let the rewriting of history veer from the truth.

When the Confederate states seceded from the Union, they did so not because of slavery. It was because the Northern states were subsidizing their public works with money raised from the tariffs on Southern states’ exports. Southern state leaders objected to this centralgovernment confiscation. What’s more, when you read Jefferson Davis’ inaugural address as the president of the Confederacy, he makes no mention of slavery.

The Confederate flag was not a symbol defending a social injustice.

It was economic — a symbol defending the right of free trade.

COMMISSIONERS, TAKE NOTE: IT’S ALL ABOUT DENSITY Just in case you missed it in last week’s edition, we’re reprinting a few comments from the Observer’s interview with Jay Tallman, one of the premier developers in Sarasota.

Tallman addresses that dirty word in Sarasota — density.

Check it out:

Jay Tallman

For developers, how big of an incentive is the Rosemary density increase?

It’s’s pretty significant, and I think it’s a game-changer in terms of the economics and feasibility of going into that area.

I think the developers are having to be pioneers, to a certain extent, going into the Rosemary District — though it certainly has a great deal of potential. I think all of us here in Sarasota recognize the potential, but there have been some challenges over recent years. This greatly improves the economics, and now we’re seeing the fruits of that effort.

What would you say to residents wary of any density increases in the city?

Actually, density — if handled properly — is a good thing for an area. It brings economic investment into an area, and that’s needed to turn an area around.

There are many cities around the United States that will actually encourage density, because it can be more efficiently managed. We talk about urban sprawl — well, urban sprawl is oftentimes brought about as a result of an area where the government discourages density. It creates inefficiency in how you handle traffic, utilities. When we hear it said that growth doesn’t pay for itself and new development doesn’t pay for itself, that can be true if you’re dealing with low density and urban sprawl. But if you can concentrate density in key urban areas, it can actually be handled efficiently and bring important economic investment.

STICK TO YOUR KNITTING

Raul Castro and Pope Francis

Dear Pope Francis: Apparently, Your Eminence, you were denied an important part of education.

Or maybe you didn’t pay attention or bother to read such luminaries as Smith, Bastiat, Von Mises, Hayek, Friedman or Rand. Perhaps that also explains the affection for the Castros and your singing the Hymn of Holy Climate Change.

If you had read any of the aforemen-

tioned authors — better yet, just look at the world’s conveniences and wealth — you would understand that no other “ism” in the world’s entire history has done more to protect the earth and raise people out of poverty than has the “ism” you constantly disdain — capitalism.

In business, there is a wise encyclical: Stick to your knitting. Stick to the 10 Commandments and the texts of Jesus.

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.”

When troops were returning home from the Gulf War, the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce wanted a way to honor their service and celebrate the freedoms they fought for abroad. Thus, the first Fourth of July Community Fireworks & VIP Party was created. Among the original volunteer event planners was Cheryl Duley, who helped plan the event for 10 years. Now in its 25th year, Duley was invited to return to the event she loved as the “plunger,” or fireworks detonator.

“It’s exciting for me because it’s an honor for me to be asked because I have not been involved in the fireworks for many years,” Duley said.

Duley, who lives in Sarasota now, is looking forward to reuniting with old friends at the event.

“I think Fourth of July fireworks are just such an integral part of Independence Day celebrations.

It makes me so proud to live in such a wonderful country where we enjoy so many freedoms,” Duley said.

Q+ A WITH DOUG LOGAN it’s very specific. In other areas, it’s very vague. My long explanation is, I’m here to put some flesh on the bones, so to speak, with regard to those areas where it’s vague, and commence with an action plan.

What made you interested in this position?

I think I still have the abilities — a certain amount of wisdom, a certain amount of experience — that I can bring to bear on topics that are of social and moral interest to me. This is one of them. I think I can, perhaps, approach the problems we face from a different perspective, but with a track record of having made progress in some difficult situations.

Heather Merriman Saba

Doug Logan is settling into his new position, and he hopes to engage a broad portion of the community to address homelessness issues in the city.

How would you describe your job to someone unfamiliar with the position?

The City Commission, several months ago, adopted an eightpoint plan to address an issue that the community has been hashing and rehashing for probably 25 or 30 years. I’ve lived here on and off for the past 24, 25, and every time I pick up a paper, there’s something new regarding the homeless — so we continue to talk about it. The city has adopted this plan. In some areas,

hen the city of Sarasota announced it had hired a new director to manage chronic homeless initiatives, the selection drew raised eyebrows from many. Doug Logan has an extensive resume — CEO for US Track & Field, commissioner of Major League Soccer — but his experience wasn’t directly connected to homelessness issues.

Although the city manager has defended Logan, at least one city commissioner, Susan Chapman, has clarified she wasn’t responsible for the hire. Logan is unfazed by the rocky reception, and is committed to showing Sarasota he’s the right man for the job.

How would you respond to someone who questions your relevant experience?

Some would probably say the same thing to (homelessness consultant Robert) Marbut.

Marbut comes from a sports background. The reality is, to stimulate a project like this, I think it requires perhaps more of a generalist than the public is usually looking for. We have plenty of specialists here in town, plenty of people who are incredibly grounded in the social services. This is going to require someone who has taken resources — intellectual resources, governmental, faith-based group resources — and meld them together to achieve an objective.

What have you been able to do in your first weeks on the job?

I am doing more than getting the lay of the land. I’m having serious conversations with the stakeholders in this issue. I’ve actually cast a net far wider than that, people who haven’t traditionally been asked to contribute ideas or contribute their views on that.

Without getting too detailoriented, it appears to me that there are two strategies that need to be employed. One is a short-term strategy, small ball.

Taking the existing institutions that are here, maximizing their efficiencies, trying to create a cohesive whole of all of them.

Each of them — the nonprofits, the faith-based organizations — has got a little piece of the pie, and there are some things that fall through the cracks.

There are some hardcore cases that are going to require some hardcore solutions. I am going to be charged by my masters with designing, creating and then implementing a pipeline — to take them off the street and put them in homes. The focus on the eight-point plan is on housing first. That’s a costly endeavor to put together, but a necessary one. While I am looking at making the existing norms more efficient, I’m also looking for that home-run ball that is going to take not weeks, not months but years to put in place correctly.

KRISTEN HERHOLD OBSERVER STAFF

The Sarasota Powerboat Grand Prix Festival is back for its 31st year from June 27 to July 5.

The festival will kick off June 27 with a golf tournament at the Meadows Country Club and will end with powerboat and Jet Ski races July 4 and 5.

“There’s two full days of racing now with both powerboats and Jet Skis,” Festival Director Lucy Nicandri said. “The event, of course, revolves around the powerboat races, but we’re excited to introduce the Jet Skiing as well.

It’s something new and different.”

Thirty powerboat and more than 60 Jet Ski racers are registered to participate.

For the first time, the races will be televised nationally on CBS Sports, Fox Sun Sports and MAVTV. “I’m so excited for that,” Nicandri said. “Sarasota will really be put in the spotlight this year with national exposure. It not only helps the event, but it helps the racers and their sponsors.”

Also different this year is the change in name from the Suncoast Offshore Grand Prix.

“It really came down to branding,” Nicandri said. “When you

say Suncoast, what is that? It can be from Destin all the way down to Naples. Suncoast is too ambiguous.”

Nicandri estimates 100,000 people attended the festival last year, which resulted in a $26 million economic impact to the area.

She hopes to increase both numbers this year.

The festival is hosted by Suncoast Charities for Children, a nonprofit organization that supports children and teenagers with special needs and their families.

The money raised from the festival has helped construct more than $14 million worth of buildings in Sarasota, Venice and North Port. The buildings are occupied by other nonprofits, such as Children First, Sarasota County

Special Olympics, Community Haven for Adults and Children with Disabilities and the Florida Center for Early Childhood.

Suncoast Charities for Children allows these nonprofits to lease these buildings for $1 per year.

“A lot of people don’t realize it’s the charity that puts on the festival,” Nicandri said.

Last year’s event raised $80,000 for the charity after expenses.

“We try to make it a festival where there’s something for everyone,” Nicandri said. “Even if you don’t want to go to the powerboat race, you can go to the car show or you can golf. It’s family friendly, and there’s something for everyone.”

A

s a young girl, Nicole Polivchak would take her place alongside the world’s elite, patiently waiting for her musical

cue.

With the sweet sound of patriotism filtering from the TV, Polivchak would wave her arms in celebration before joining her fellow athletes in the Olympic march.

Polivchak watched the Olympics religiously, envisioning the day when she too would be able to wave her country’s flag for all the world to see.

The 16-year-old Riverview High golfer has aspirations of competing in the 2020 Summer Olympics, in Tokyo, and, this summer, Polivchak could move one step closer to her longterm goal.

Polivchak was one of six girls named to Poland’s national team and will compete in the European Girls’ Team Championship July 7 through July 11, in the Czech Republic.

Polivchak, who has dual citizenship and travels to Poland every other year to visit family, brought her clubs with her for the first time last year and started playing in tournaments there. She shot an even par to win a combination tournament last summer, competing against both boys and girls her age.

The Polish assistant coach, who was watching the tournament, noticed Polivchak and approached her about competing for Poland.

“I was very excited,” Polivchak says. “We saw the opportunity and we took it. My No. 1 goal is to represent Poland (in the champi-

“I haven’t lost yet in that tournament. I just feel like that course is set up for my game, and I felt confident with all of my shots.”

Polivchak, who is homeschooled, left for Poland June 21 and will remain there with her family until Sept. 1.

Prior to heading to Poland, Polivchak shot a combined 152 to win the Girls 16-18 division of the 2015 Sarasota Junior City Championship June 13 and June 14, at Bobby Jones Golf Club. This was the fifth-consecutive year Polivchak has won the tournament, having won the Girls 16-18 division last year and the Girls 13-15 division each of the three years prior.

“I haven’t lost yet in that tournament,” Polivchak says. “I just feel like that course is set up for my game, and I felt confident with all of my shots.”

Polivchak began golfing when she was 7 years old after her father, Rodger, took her to a clinic at Evie’s Family Golf Center.

Nicole Polivchak was one of six girls selected to represent Poland in the European Girls’ Team Championship.

Polivchak picked up the sport fairly quickly and joined the First Tee of Sarasota Manatee.

She began competing in tournaments, but it wasn’t until she was 13 years old that Polivchak, who also was a gymnast at the time, decided to focus all of her attention on the green.

“I figured I would injure myself less playing golf, and I enjoyed it more,” Polivchak says. “I enjoy the competition. It’s a unique sport. There’s always a challenge.

You don’t know what to expect because there’s always different conditions and different courses that you can play. It’s not just one set thing.”

Polivchak spent the past year attending the Tim Sheredy Golf Institute, working with Sheredy for four hours a day, five days a week, at the River Club Golf Course, in Bradenton.

As part of her training, Polivchak spent ample time working on her short game and learning how to play bunker shots.

In addition to her training sessions, Polivchak also played for Riverview, for which she shot a 75 at the Class 3A-District 14 tournament to finish third overall and earn a berth in the regional tournament.

Now Polivchak is preparing to play alongside a new set of teammates while representing the country that has become her second home.

“I enjoy playing on a team with other girls and having that bond,” Polivchak says. “I think it’s fun with teammates and by yourself.

But with teammates, it just feels a little more fun.”

ABOUT THE COURSE n Year opened: Summer 2006 n Par: 72 n Holes: 27 (18 will be played) n Yardage to be played: 6,289 yards

Nicole Polivchak and her five Polish teammates will be playing at the Kaskada Golf Resort.

The course was designed to provide the local community with the highest quality of golfing. It allows players to choose their own 18-hole combination from the three independent nine-hole courses: The Wood Course, The Stone Course and The Iron Course.

The Stone Course and The Wood Course are the two courses that will be played at the European Girls Team Championship.

The 27-hole course was designed with an emphasis on the principles of clear arrangement at each hole, visibility of all hazards and elimination of any blind shots from the course.

What can you get for $1 million for a single-family home in Sarasota, Longboat Key, Siesta Key and Lakewood Ranch? $999K

SIESTA KEY

1214 Sea Plume Way THE STATS Built: 1980 Bedrooms: Three Bathrooms: Three Square footage: 3,684 Price per square foot: $271 Listed by: Betsy de Manio, of Coldwell Banker Surrounded by vegetation and with a treetop loft, this home will whisk you away to the jungle.

The three-level home, on .27 acres, features an elevator, skylights, an updated kitchen and

a two-car garage. There is a newly resurfaced pool and deck outside and a boatlift with spiral stairs.

The home last sold April 15, 2013, for $615,000. It was listed Dec. 10, 2014, for $1.2 million. The price changed March 20 to $1,099,000 and again June 17 to $999,000.

“There are very few areas on Siesta Key where you can be on a canal that leads directly to the Intracoastal Waterway with no bridges and be within one block of the beach,” Realtor Betsy de Manio said. “Many places that have excellent boating water aren’t near the beach. It’s an excellent combination, and it’s rare.”

SARASOTA 1605 S. Orange Ave. THE STATS Built: 1918 Bedrooms: Four Bathrooms: Five full; two half Square footage: 3,292 Price per square foot: $304 Listed by: Ryan Carson, of RE/MAX Alliance Group Nearly 100 years old, this home combines classic and modern features.

The house is on .26 acres and includes a newly remodeled kitchen, master bathroom, landscaping and pool. There is also a detached guesthouse with one bedroom, one and a half bathrooms and office space.

The home last sold June 2, 2010, for $512,500. After the owners remodeled the property, it was listed again May 1, 2015.

“It’s an incredible location with incredible charm,” Realtor Ryan Carson said. “Despite the fact that it’s old and has an old charm, it’s very updated and functional. It’s a great home.”

The success of Bravo network’s “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” and its spinoffs in New York and Miami has prompted the network to air a new offshoot in San Francisco.

Sarasota native Andrew Greenwell is one of the new show’s stars.

The reality show will premiere next month and will follow the professional and personal lives of three prominent real estate agents — Greenwell, who is the CEO at Venture Sotheby’s International Realty, Justin Fichelson, of Climb Real Estate, and Roh Habibi, of Coldwell Banker Previews International.

Greenwell grew up in Sarasota and discovered his love for real estate at a young age. As a 19-yearold freshman at Florida State University he founded his own brokerage. His company grew to three offices before Greenwell even earned his college degree.

Realtor Magazine named Greenwell one of the “Top 30 Realtors in America Under 30” in 2007, the same year he moved to Seattle.

In 2011, Greenwell moved to California and worked as CEO of Keller Williams Tri-Valley Realty.

Last September, he established Venture Sotheby’s International Realty.

“Million Dollar Listing San Francisco” will air July 8 on Bravo.

CAM P SPOTL I G HT Cat Depot Critter Camp

T

he goal of Critter Camp is to teach children how to care for animals ranging from cats to horses to sea creatures. In the span of a week campers enjoy presentations from local animal–related agencies such as Sixteen Hands Horse Sanctuary and Mote Marine Laboratory.

Part of the daily classroom time is spent with the adoptable cats and kittens at Cat Depot. The students learn how to safely care for the cats.

Campers are assigned a cat for a week to learn about and play with while attending the camp. During the week they put together a collage of their new feline friend that includes photos that will be used to promote the cat’s adoptable status.
