The Seminole Heights Advisor The Seminole Heights Advisor The Official Publication of the Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association (OSHNA) Published Since 1988 - Our 31st Year “To promote and encourage the preservation and restoration of the area known as Seminole Heights” Annual Circulation 11,000 Spring 2020 www.oldseminoleheights.org From the OSHNA President By Tim Keeports It’s spring in The Heights and that means we were eagerly anticipating our annual Home Tour! With the current COVID-19 situation, we cancelled the 22nd Annual OSHNA Home Tour that was to be held April 5th and are planning for a wonderful home tour on the second Sunday of April 2021 as Easter falls on the first Sunday of April 2021. Occasionally I’m asked why OSHNA exists or why did we take a certain stance on some of the changes happening within our neighborhood – such as a development or road project. Our organization’s bylaws contain a very important section I try to keep in mind when answering: "Section 3 Purpose" states, “to promote and encourage the preservation and restoration of the area known as Seminole Heights while revitalizing a sense of community in a safe and healthy residential neighborhood….” This “Purpose” is important as it sets the tone at our Board meetings and guides our decision making. It also helps frame the issues we focus on and when it’s more appropriate to allow individual neighbors to handle their challenges or occasional differences. Additionally, the OSHNA Board participates in a bimonthly meeting with our neighboring associations to discuss and address our common efforts. Even though March and April 2020 felt like an entire year had gone by, I was reflecting on this past December 2019 when we held our annual holiday party at American Legion Post 111. It was an experiment of sorts as we tried something new and held the event after Christmas and before the New Year. While everyone who attended had a terrific time, our participation did suffer due to the absence of a certain jolly fellow in a red suit! We, therefore, have committed to holding our next holiday party on December 12th, 2020. Our Neighborhood Involvement Committee has been in discussion with our neighboring associations for a combined party.

What started as a plot to bring music to the park quickly turned into a proposal to improve and preserve a well-recognized Tampa landmark that many people see every day as they drive along I-275 about six miles north of downtown. Built in 1927 by Grover Poole, the water tower then served the Sulphur Springs Hotel that used to reside there. With the natural Sulphur Spring nearby, the resort wanted to capitalize on this local treasure and create a bus- tling tourist attraction with Florida’s first shopping mall, Mave’s Arcade, located on the first floor of the hotel. This business venture led by Josiah S. Richardson failed six years later due to the collapse of Tampa Electric Company dam, which flooded and destroyed the arcade. Serving a short stint as a drive-in theater among other operations, the land is now a neighborhood park that holds memories of Florida’s past. Spearheaded by Johnson and Malson, Preserve Our Tower is a grassroots campaign run by an eight-member committee to raise funds to preserve and restore the Sulphur Springs Tower and River Tower Park. Their inaugu- ral River Tower Festival, held last November, was the first large fund-raising effort to start shedding some light on this oft-forgotten park. “We had 10 live bands, seven DJs, five food trucks, and 24 additional vendors for various things, mostly art,” Johnson says. “The festival happened to be on the coldest day we had all year last year.

  • Southeast Seminole Heights Flooding Relief Project Construction Impacts
    Southeast Seminole Heights Flooding Relief Project Construction Impacts - Questions and Answers August 2021 When will construction start? When will it end? Construction is scheduled to begin in late September or early October 2021 and will be completed approximately 2.5 years later. What are the construction hours? Will there be night work? Construction will typically occur on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Night and weekend work may be needed on occasion for major road crossings, connections or paving. If night or weekend work is required, crews will provide advance notification to residents to minimize inconvenience. Will construction take place one street at a time or will crews be working on multiple streets simultaneously? Multiple crews will work simultaneously in different locations. Construction will begin first in South Seminole Heights at Crest Avenue and the Hillsborough River, with replacement of the outfall structure at the river and utility relocations along Crest. Micro-tunnel shafts on East Caracas Avenue extending under I-275 will occur at the same time. While crews work at the river and on West Crest Avenue, another crew will begin relocating utilities and installing storm culverts on Central Avenue at East Giddens Avenue, moving south to Caracas. After storm drains are installed from Central to Caracas, crews will begin installing storm drains on Caracas east of I-275. Will Rivercrest and Haya Linear Park be closed due to construction? Rivercrest Park and Haya Linear Park will remain open during construction. Crews will be working on the outfall to the Hillsborough River in a portion of Haya Linear Park; this area will be clearly delineated and barricaded.

  • The Tampa Heights Plan
    Tampa Heights Plan: Rebuilding Community A VISION WITHOUT A TASK IS BUT A DREAM. A TASK WITHOUT A VISION IS DRUDGERY. BUT A VISION WITH A TASK CAN CHANGE THE WORLD. Streets of Hope Adopted by Tampa Heights Citizen Advisory Committee - May 1, 2002 Amended September 17, 2002 and November 6, 2002 Adopted by Tampa Heights Community - November 12, 2002 Planning Commission Finding of Consistency with the Tampa Comprehensive Plan – December 9, 2002 Adopted by Tampa City Council- Resolution 2003-237 – February 20, 2003 Preface The Tampa Heights Neighborhood Plan is the result of a 3 year process that began in 1999 when residents led by the Tampa Heights Civic Association and other community leaders, came together to resist speculation and development pressures. The residents feared that large-scale projects and redevelopment plans would result in the erosion of the historic fabric of the neighborhood, destroy the grid pattern of the neighborhood and continue the displacement of current residents. The Tampa Heights Neighborhood plan is a general guide which provides a tool kit of activities and recommended guidelines that may be used to achieve the realization of community that is described in the Vision document. The Tampa Heights plan has seven primary objectives or themes: • Rebuilds community by recommending specific initiatives that reinforce the values of the Vision for Tampa Heights and builds on the existing social and human Capital; • Provides a plan that is tailored to neighborhood scale and conditions; • Proposes an economic development plan; • Creates a comprehensive, coordinated, strategic plan to benefit Tampa Heights shareholders • Focuses on a community driven plan with broad resident involvement; • Organizes neighborhood residents and organizations to be an effective force in advocating for the neighborhood; • Recommends a collaborative implementation strategy.

Additionally, the Study is working with the community to form a comprehensive vision for transportation to be implemented for neighborhoods throughout the Corridor. A major component of the Heights Mobility Study process has been public engagement. Engagement strategies have been based on connecting with, providing information to, and gathering input from stakeholders throughout the Study process. Effectively engaging the public will ensure that the Study builds consensus among various project stakeholders for project outcomes that reflect the needs and priorities of the communities it is intended to benefit. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES Public engagement for the Heights Mobility Study centered around the themes of connecting with, providing information to, and gathering input from stakeholders throughout the Study process. An effective engagement strategy is meant to ensure that the Study builds consensus among various project stakeholders for project outcomes that reflect the needs and priorities of the communities it is intended to benefit. Reach a broad range of stakeholders in the community: Take advantage of opportunities for widespread in-person outreach through neighborhood meetings and community events. Enhance information sharing: When possible, look for opportunities to streamline and consolidate the flow of information. To enhance online participation, continue in-person outreach to organizations, encouraging online and word-of-mouth information sharing though various social and community networks.
