PUBLIC HEARINGS
ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH FACILITIES HOSPITAL
REVENUE BONDS/Orlando Health, Inc.
Agenda Item #22 – A-1891-16
Proof of publication calling for a public hearing to consider adoption
of a Resolution approving the issuance of Hospital Revenue Bonds in one or more
series, not to exceed $20 million, with respect to facilities in Seminole
County, received and filed.
County Attorney Bryant Applegate explained the purpose of this hearing
is to permit the public to express their views in person or in writing
regarding the proposed plan by the Orange County Health Facilities Authority to
issue bonds, a portion of the proceeds of which will be loaned to Orlando
Health, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit corporation, and used for the following
purposes: 1) to refund and refinance
certain revenue bonds previously issued by the Orange County Health Facilities
Authority for the benefit of Orlando Health, Inc.; 2) to provide one or more
debt service reserve funds for the benefit of all or a portion of the bonds if
deemed necessary or desirable; 3) to pay a portion of the interest to accrue on
the bonds if deemed necessary or desirable; and 4) to pay certain costs of
issuance of the bonds. Mr. Applegate
stated a portion of the proceeds of the Revenue Bonds being refunded and
refinanced were used to finance, refinance, or reimburse the cost of acquiring,
constructing, improving, or renovating South Seminole Hospital, a 206-bed
acute-care hospital, located at 555 West SR 434, Longwood, Florida. The owner, operator and manager of South Seminole
Hospital is Orlando Health. He added it
should be noted that the bonds do not constitute a debt, liability, or
obligation of Seminole County or the State of Florida, or any political
subdivision thereof, or a pledge of credit of the faith and credit of any
taxing power of Seminole County or of the State of Florida or any political
subdivision thereof, but are limited obligations of the Orange County Health
Facilities Authority, payable solely from and secured by a pledge of payments
to be made by Orlando Health. Mr.
Applegate advised that James Bogner from Mateer Harbert is present today and
that he is the attorney for Orlando Health and South Seminole Hospital with
respect to the issuance of the bonds.
With regard to public participation, no one in the audience spoke in
support or in opposition and public input was closed.
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to adopt

Bonds in one or more series, not to exceed $20 million, with respect to
facilities in Seminole County, Florida, as described in the proof of
publication; Orlando Health, Inc.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
KLINGER PROPERTY REZONE/Dan Kaiser, Applicant
Agenda Item #23 – PH-2016-303
Proof of publication calling for a public hearing to consider approval
of a Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to PD (Planned Development) for a
single-family residential subdivision on approximately 43.3 acres, located on
the south side of W. Lake Brantley Road, approximately one mile north of Sand
Lake Road, received and filed.
Joy Giles, Planning and Development Division, addressed the Board to
present the request as outlined in the Agenda Memorandum. She noted the Applicant proposes a
single-family residential subdivision with a maximum of 100 lots. She reviewed the future land use and zoning
designation of the surrounding areas.
Ms. Giles advised that the Planning & Zoning Commission
recommended approval and County staff also recommends the Board approve the
Rezone and the associated Development Order.
Mary Ann Campbell, 2431 Palmetto Drive, addressed the Board to state
she is in support of the PD instead of a straight line zoning for this project,
but at the Planning & Zoning meeting on March 2, a lot of people had
concerns about a Phase II environmental study.
She stated that Mr. Madden said that there was one being done and she
wondered if the study had been completed.
Charlie Madden, Madden Moorhead & Glunt, addressed the Board to
advise the project went to the P&Z Board twice and it was unanimously
approved twice. He indicated that the
first time was very contentious, and then Commissioner Constantine asked them
to meet with the residents to find some common ground, and they did that. He pointed out that the answer was the PD,
where the residents could get certainty that all the good things they were
being told will happen would be permanently attached to the property regardless
of who the eventual purchaser was.
Mr. Madden pointed out there are 11 HOAs that are members of the Lake
Brantley Association and they all have boat ramps on Lake Brantley. He advised that they told Fred Streetman, who
is in charge of the association, that they are committed to joining that
association as the 12th HOA and they will have a boat ramp as
well. He said this is not really a
development order item but he wanted to put it on the public record.
Mr. Madden stated another thing that is ongoing and is not really a
zoning issue, but he wanted to make the Board aware, is the landscaping and the
10-foot landscaping buffer tract that is around the perimeter of the
property. He advised the landscape
architect, Tom Daly, is present today to entertain any questions. A memorandum (copy received and filed) from
Mr. Daly of Daly Design Group was previously distributed to the Board. Mr. Madden explained that the memo outlines
the neighbors’ wishes that were discussed during the site meeting. The landscape plan is still being worked
on. He noted that Mr. Daly will be having
another meeting with the residents to show what he has come up with, and he
advised they are continuing to work with the adjacent neighbors on their
requests and wishes for the landscape treatment in the 10-foot tract.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. Madden advised they have not
submitted the landscape plan because Mr. Daly is still working on one that
incorporates the items included in the memo.
In addition, they want to do a tree survey so they can remove dead trees
and “get down to brass tacks” on what they will be doing in that tract.
Commissioner Carey asked Mr. Madden to speak to where they are on the
environmental study. Mr. Madden advised
that a Phase II study is being worked on but it is not completed yet. Commissioner Dallari questioned when they
anticipate the completion of the study and Mr. Madden responded it will be 45
days.
Krista Wamhoff, 2610 Orange Court, addressed the Board to speak in
support of the request. She explained
that she was adamantly opposed to the development in December when she received
the original notice, but because of the engineer’s and developer’s compromise
of going to a Planned Development, they are now able to give assurances that
there will not be four homes per acre, but in fact only 2.41 homes per
acre. She opined that since 1974, the
Commission has been hearing, repeatedly, about the traffic issues. She remarked that there is now another
daycare that will be opening next to Lake Brantley High School, so there will
be a total of eight schools in a two-and-one-half-mile stretch, so it is a
problem.
Commissioner Dallari asked that Jean Jreij, Director of Public Works,
speak about road improvements in the area.
Mr. Jreij listed the proposed road improvements and advised construction
will start after school lets out.
Commissioner Carey stated that according to the report, there will be
two left-turn lanes on Sand Lake Road to help improve the traffic and one
eastbound, right-turn lane for Forest City Elementary School, and an extension
of the westbound, right-turn lane in front of Lake Brantley. She confirmed with Mr. Jreij that
improvements should be completed by August 16.
Ms. Wamhoff stated that traffic has increased so much in that area due
to homes, businesses and schools, that while the improvements may assist during
certain times, she does not feel it is a permanent solution. She added they have one road in and one road
out of their community and that one road dead-ends. She said she does not know if any of the
small improvements will alleviate the traffic concerns.
Commissioner Carey pointed out that when Brett Blackadar was still
here as the County Engineer, he actually went out in the field with his team
and watched the traffic. He reported to
her that the issue was the turn movements at the school areas. He believed that these improvements, which
they went ahead and moved forward, would address the situation for most of the
time. She opined she would like to see
how the road improvements will impact the situation in that area. Commissioner Dallari stated the County
Engineer indicated to him that this was a good first fix. He suggested that after the road improvements
have been completed for the turn lanes, they ask staff to do a small area study
of the traffic in that area to make sure they are maximizing what they have to
do for the road improvements.
Chairman Horan noted they have initiated a series of workshops on
connectivity, mobility and traffic movement; so they are addressing these
problems in a number of different sectors.
Commissioner Dallari asked the County Manager to ensure there is
community involvement when they do the small area study so they can keep track
of what is happening.
Sharon Chamness, 2470 Westwood Drive, addressed the Board and stated
she is the treasurer for the Civic Association for West Lake Brantley. She explained they provide lake access to
about 300 homes for Lake Brantley. She
stated their board has voted and they are in favor of the zoning request. She expressed her appreciation to those
working on behalf of the Applicant who spent numerous additional hours working
to accommodate several concerns of the residents. She added they also appreciate the time that
Commissioner Constantine took to bring the community together with the
developer in order to work things out.
In regard to traffic, she said their board also feels that adding
turn-lanes will not be adequate, so they appreciate the fact the County will
have a study done after those improvements are made.
Ms. Chamness voiced that as a resident and not as a member of their
association board, the last thing she would want is to have more access to
their neighborhood. She was involved in
making sure that the section between West Lake Brantley and Sweetwater had a
nice gate put in because they were having a problem with kids tearing down the
gate and driving through that open field.
She added that emergency vehicles do have access to that gate; it is on
the county key. They would like to
encourage the County to continue with the traffic studies in that area to see
if something could be done to alleviate it on Sand Lake Road.
Fred Streetman, 125 Lake Rena Drive, addressed the Board stating he
opposed the original rezoning because he thought it was not compatible. He explained that at the P&Z meeting
there was an initial uproar as soon as Charlie Madden spoke, but Matt Brown of
the P&Z immediately said they can disagree strongly but they are going to
be respectful and they are going to have a meeting that is conducted civilly. He advised after the P&Z meeting, the
group of residents decided to meet and they did a lot of research. He mentioned the mediation meeting that
Commissioner Constantine set up and said it was a terrific meeting because the
citizens began to feel like they could have their interests protected and the
rezoning would nail things down. He
opined it was a great model for what government should be and how things should
be conducted, and it is a shame that this kind of civil and disciplined conduct
done at the local government level cannot be done everywhere else.
Teresa Goodman, 2350 Pleasant Drive, addressed the Board to speak in
opposition to the request. She stated
the people in attendance today do not represent the majority in their community
and that many are not here because they just do not trust the process. Ms. Goodman stated this is not about
compatibility, trees or buffers; it is a matter of their health and safety,
especially at the 90-degree curve at East Triangle. She said she believes this was not captured in
the report by TMC because TMC is a traffic management consultant; it is a
company whose revenues rely on developers.
Ms. Goodman discussed specifics of the road including narrow lanes,
slopes, blind spots, curves alongside uncurbed and frequently traveled
sidewalks, and two curves with flashing light reminders. She stated these conditions will intensify at
the 90-degree curve.
Ms. Goodman asked the Board to refer to the TMC report map (received
and filed). She opined the TMC report
provides a false impression close to the hazardous 90-degree curve at East
Triangle. She concluded by discussing
schools and the changing demographics of the area.
With regard to public participation, no one else in the audience spoke
in support or in opposition and public input was closed.
Speaker Request Forms were received and filed.
Commissioner Constantine stated in regard to the traffic concerns, he
believes the County Manager will work with the School Board because there are
so many schools on Sand Lake Road and there are times when it is impassable.
Motion by Commissioner Constantine, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to
adopt Ordinance #2016-12 enacting a Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to PD
(Planned Development), and approve the associated Development Order and the Master
Development Plan for approximately 43.3 acres, located on the south side of W.
Lake Brantley Road, approximately one mile north of Sand Lake Road, as
described in the proof of publication; Dan Kaiser, Applicant.
Commissioner Dallari stated that with the small area traffic study, he
believes they also need to include working with the School Board on the recuing
of their egress and ingress of the schools.
He commented that they have done that with other schools and it makes a
big difference.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
ORANGE
CREEK SMALL SCALE FUTURE LAND USE MAP
AMENDMENT
& REZONE/James Stelling, Applicant
Agenda Item #24 – PH-2016-296
Proof of publication calling for a public hearing to consider approval
of a Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment from Low Density Residential to
Planned Development, and the associated Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to PD
(Planned Development), for 21 single-family residential lots on approximately
5.02 acres located on the south side of Orange Boulevard, approximately 920
feet west of North Oregon Street, received and filed.
Kathy Hammel, Planning & Development Division, addressed the Board
to present the request as outlined in the Agenda Memorandum. She displayed an aerial map and advised that
the five acres is currently surrounded by existing single-family
developments. The proposed development
is requesting 4.181 dwelling units per acre.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted unanimously to approve the
request, and staff also recommends approval.
Randy Morris, RM Strategies on behalf of the Applicant, addressed the
Board and stated he is joined by Major Stacy, their civil engineer from B&S
Engineering Consultants, LLC. Mr. Morris
displayed the aerial maps showing Perspective Views Looking North, West, South,
and East. He noted on three sides the
proposed site is surrounded by very dense development with various housing
prices.
Mr. Morris displayed Ground View Looking East and Abandoned Chicken
Coops stating they are proposing 20 additional lots with one home remaining,
and they will remove the out buildings that are currently there. He added the site is somewhat in
disrepair. He advised they voluntarily
agreed to fence the entire property which was discussed at the P&Z meeting
and included in the Development Order.
There is fencing on three sides of the property but some of it is
decaying on some of the adjacent properties.
Mr. Morris showed the Zillow Surrounding Values Range slide and
advised the price range across the street from the site with some lakefront and
larger lots goes all the way up to $427,000.
Immediately to the west, the price drops to $147,000. He added the pricing varies greatly because
in some cases lots have not been maintained and there is an affordable housing
project there. Mr. Morris advised that
they are looking at a starting price point of about $225,000, probably with a
median price in the $260,000 range, which will equal or exceed the three
surrounding properties on the same side of the roadway.
Mr. Morris mentioned the Traffic Level of Service and the Proposed
Traffic Impact slides. He showed the
Proposed Land Use Plan and Site Plan and pointed out that with this infill
project, they make donations to the County of the right-of-way for the eventual
widening of the road.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, the civil engineer Mr. Stacy
advised that the ditches will be piped with a sidewalk installed so it will
look exactly like the adjacent properties.
Mr. Morris expounded that this property is actually lower than the
surrounding three properties and the drainage runs up to the roadway, which is
where the retention pond will be and that will be piped out.
With regard to public participation, no one in the audience spoke in
support or in opposition and public input was closed.
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Henley, to adopt
Ordinance #2016-13 enacting a Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment from
Low Density Residential to Planned Development; and adopt Ordinance #2016-14
enacting the associated Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to PD (Planned
Development) for 21 single-family residential lots on approximately 5.02 acres,
located on the south side of Orange Boulevard, approximately 920 feet west of
North Oregon Street; James Stelling, Applicant; Development Order and Master
Development Plan.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner Carey submitted her ex parte communications into the
record. Chairman Horan advised he had ex
parte communication with the Applicant but he made his decision based upon the information
that came in this hearing.
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Alex Setzer, Lobbyist with Southern
Strategy Group, addressed the Board to present the Legislative Update. He thanked the Board and county staff for all
their help in making phone calls and getting across the finish line with some
of their “wins.” He also expressed his
appreciation of the delegation working on their behalf. He opined it was a great year for Seminole
County.
Mr. Setzer advised in regard to some of
their legislative priorities, they were held fairly harmless on taxes; none of
the big tax proposals that were put out there by the Governor, or the House in
their original budget proposals, actually came to fruition. Therefore, they saw very little actual
decrease in revenue, and he said they hope to hold that again next year.
Another priority was the homeless bill, and
Mr. Setzer commented that it was a great win for Seminole County for a variety
of reasons. First and foremost, it is
designed to give flexibility to suburban counties in how they attack
homelessness. He said there is about
$150 million going into SHIP (State Housing Initiatives Partnership) dollars
and they will be able to use that in a flexible manner; for example, the County
could build transitional housing or use it for some other ideas, and they have
not had that flexibility in the past. He
opined they should see a shift from urban counties to suburban counties as far
as how they treat homelessness.
Mr. Setzer stated the other win was they
got $500,000 included in bear-protection money that can be used in a variety of
ways including bear trash cans, bear prevention programs, and awareness. He advised that 60% of the money they were
able to get into proviso accounts must be dedicated to a county or city that
has an ordinance in place, which will benefit Seminole County
dramatically.
Mr. Setzer noted they were able to get $2
million added into the work program and the work program is moved up for
completion and finalization of the 17-92 Flyover in Casselberry, so they were
able to not only get that money in but also avoid a veto.
In regard to the DJJ (Department of
Juvenile Justice) money, Mr. Setzer remarked that he has already spoken to the
Commissioners individually about this.
He said the issue is insanely complicated; it is probably one of the top
three issues in the state as far as being controversial. The Legislature managed to come to an
agreement with the counties who are inside the system. He added that Chairman Horan was in
Tallahassee working with him on this and working side by side with FAC (Florida
Association of Counties). The House was
willing to give the County some money again this year, but the Legislature did
not want to blow up their deal with the other counties; they wanted to get that
deal moving forward to get the cost share done.
They were adamant they did not want to give the other counties any sort
of payback until that deal was struck.
He believes they have a path moving forward for next year.
Chairman Horan asked if they had gotten any
water projects as well; Mr. Setzer advised they did not get any water projects
and explained the cities did locally, but it was not a great year to get them
because the Legislature elected to basically give a very small fraction towards
each individual water project, which was on average about 5% to 10%. He confirmed for the Chairman that Seminole
State College got two individual projects for about $12.5 million each and the
School Board got $500,000 for high-tech manufacturing; he said both of those
avoided vetoes. He added that some local
non-profits got some money as well.
DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS REPORTS
District 5
Commissioner Carey announced that at the
Wekiva River Basin Commission meeting held last Wednesday, there was a number
of interesting items about water bills and legislation that is moving
forward. She stated they need to make
sure that Kim Ornberg, Watershed Management Division Manager, and her staff are watching some of that legislation. Also, she advised it was reported that
Advanced Garbage Disposal is testing some automated bear-proof garbage
cans.
-------
Commissioner Carey stated she joined the
Bookertown Community cleanup on Saturday, March 13. They had a great turnout including
firefighters, some from the Sheriff’s Department, and the County’s Public Works
people; a lot of different groups showed up to show support for that
community. She noted they collected over
21 tons of garbage and over one ton of tires.
She said she knows the Bookertown community is looking forward with
great pride to having the street lights installed there, and there are a lot of
changes happening in that historic community.
She further advised smoke detectors will be installed around the Midway
community this Saturday; the Red Cross was out there last Saturday to determine
who needed them.
-------
Commissioner Carey noted that the Mobile
Health Unit operated by the Health Department will be out in the community this
week; on March 23 they will be at Goodwill on SR 46 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
and at Rescue Outreach Mission on March 24 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. She said this is very helpful for people in
the community who do not have the means to go and get simple screenings that
can save their life. She added she
appreciates Dr. Jett’s efforts to try to get this out in the community, and she
opined she thinks they should make it as known as possible when and where the
mobile unit will be. She suggested that
maybe staff could put a link on the County’s website to the Health Department so
people can see that information.
-------
On April 7, the Annual Golden Eagle dinner
will be held and Commissioner Carey advised that Phil Rawlins from Orlando City
Soccer is the honoree this year. She
noted he was introduced to soccer as a Boy Scout in the U.K. and all the money
that is raised stays in Seminole County.
They average about $275,000 that goes towards scouting in the County,
and so it is a great event and she hopes people will come out and support that.
-------
Commissioner Carey stated that a couple of
weeks ago, in the newspaper, there was a City of Sanford item about a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that they were looking at that night. She has since had discussions with the City
and she advised they did approve an MOU with Torre Construction and Development
to create a community development plan within about the next eight months. The footprint encompasses the property that
the City owns in downtown Sanford on the waterfront. Part of that footprint includes the parking
lot that the County utilizes for the Civil Courthouse. If they are not able to park in that parking
lot, which will be one of the last phases of the development, they obviously
would not be able to operate the courthouse.
Commissioner Carey stated the County started their master plan in 2006
at Five Points, and when the economy got bad, they put it down. She advised they have asked staff to pick
that up again because if they started tomorrow, it would take two or three years
to get a new courthouse built at the Five Points complex. She opined it is not a good use of the
waterfront property for the County to be occupying it and she believes now is
the time to get that master plan out and move that forward. She asked that the Chairman make that a
priority if all her colleagues agreed.
Commissioner Carey noted she met with
George Kramer from Littlejohn Engineering Associates yesterday to talk about
this project again. She believes the
developer is probably going to evaluate the courthouse piece as well as the
Sanford City Hall piece. She opined it
is important to work together with the City of Sanford on this and it will
change how things look downtown.
Chairman Horan confirmed with the
Board members that they agree this should be put on a future agenda.
Commissioner Henley opined it may be well for them to start by going
back and looking at their needs. He
added that need studies were done several years ago, but that was before they
let 140 people go during the downturn.
Ms. Guillet stated she wanted to give an update on Five Points because
staff has been working on that behind the scenes. She advised she met with the developers last
week to talk with them about their plans for downtown Sanford because it does
impact the County’s operations to a certain extent. The developers are aware of their concerns
and long-range plans with respect to Five Points, and are in fact, a little
disappointed with the prospect of them moving out of downtown Sanford. They assured her they want the courthouse
operations to remain as long as possible, so they will work within the County’s
schedule if they do make the ultimate decision to move to Five Points.
Ms. Guillet stated they had talked last year about moving forward with
that plan for Five Points and since then have been doing a lot of data
collection to determine what the needs are for the Sheriff’s Office with
respect to the existing building that they share with Fire Services, and also
looking at their own internal operations to determine what the actual needs are
now and what they will be in the near and long term. Ms. Guillet reminded the Board that they
discussed the wetland and the opportunities that might be there. They have also assessed the County’s assets
in downtown Sanford to see if they were to move what their options would be
there and what they would have available from a resource standpoint. She added now that the legislative session
has ended, Meloney Lung, Assistant County Manager, will take a little more strident
approach to that because she has been coordinating that project. Her hope is that in the coming months, they
will be able to bring some additional information to the Board and get some
direction with respect to where they want to go with that project in the near
future. Ms. Guillet stated they will be
coordinating with the City of Sanford.
Commissioner Carey stated she agrees with Commissioner Henley’s
comment about the space study and their needs have changed.
District 3
Commissioner Constantine stated in regard
to the garbage cans discussed at the Wekiva Commission meeting, there are
companies that can make them automated so there is no reason to have to
retrofit any of the trucks the haulers use.
He advised that one company he has been talking to about these is called
Kodiak.
-------
Commissioner Constantine stated in SB 550
in 2010, the Legislature gave five years to allow the spreading of septic
sludge and that was extended one more year to 2016, and it was not extended
again. So on July 1, environmental
services companies once pumping out septic tanks will no longer be able to
spread that onto land. He advised that
he talked to Johnny Edwards, Solid Waste Program Manager, about maybe wanting to pursue this because no one in Seminole County
currently can accept that sludge for treatment.
Orange County does, but Commissioner Constantine opined with the volume
that is going to happen, they are only going to take sludge from Orange County
starting in July. He added if Seminole
has capacity, there is an opportunity for revenue.
Commissioner Carey stated the Board may recall they used to pay a lot
of money for sludge to be collected from their wastewater treatment plants and
they used to haul it to Tampa. They have
since changed that and now take it to the County’s own landfill from their
wastewater treatment plants. She pointed
out that it saved them a tremendous amount of money when they made that
change. She said one of the things that
came up in that discussion about what you could do with sludge is you can make
it into slow-release fertilizer. She
also talked to Johnny Edwards about an opportunity here to maybe partner with
someone about possibly doing something with the sludge to develop slow-release
fertilizer and those types of things.
She heard a comment made this morning stating they didn’t think it
worked very well, but she opined she thinks that it is improving and in fact,
they have adopted an ordinance about slow-release fertilizer. Also, the State is making some regulations
regarding that as well. Commissioner
Constantine noted that it is an opportunity for revenue and to take care of
some of their small businesses that need some help.
District 1
Commissioner Dallari said he wanted to
thank the police department for the City of Oviedo and the police department
for the City of Winter Springs for putting on a fundraiser this past Saturday
for Kids House. He advised on an annual
basis, that organization brings in about $10,000 of much needed funding for
Kids House that helps children throughout all of Seminole County that have been
abused. He reported that later the same
day, the Young Ranchers of Seminole County put on a rodeo. All the seven-county youth that were involved
in ranching put together various teams, and Polk County won the overall competition
and he would like to congratulate them.
-------
Commissioner Dallari stated he would like
to ask staff to give the Board an update on the Rybolt piece in Orange County
because Lake Pickett North has made another application and he has not seen
it. He added they should be briefed on
what is happening with that piece of property because that would substantially
affect the rural area of Seminole County and he wants to make sure they protect
it. Also, he said he would like to see
what the application looks like. Ms.
Guillet replied they are aware that an application was submitted and their
understanding is that it is intended to be heard by the Orange County Board of
County Commissioners in June. She added
they will get the information on that to the Board and advised Orange County is
also undertaking a transportation study for that entire area of the
county.
Ms. Guillet reminded the Board they had requested a little over a year
ago that MetroPlan get involved in this issue as well. She advised she met with Harry Barley,
Executive Director of MetroPlan Orlando, last week to talk about what their
role could be with respect to Orange County’s study. Her suggestion to him was that MetroPlan’s
role can maybe serve as looking at the extra jurisdictional impacts of any
study that Orange County undertakes. She
added that staff will be working with them to look at the impacts that
improvements to the transportation network will have in that area of Orange
County with respect to Seminole County and Brevard County.
Commissioner Dallari stated he wants to make sure they are not
crossing the Econ River. Ms. Guillet
said she did not know but they will have to be partners with Seminole on
anything they do on McCulloch Road because there are some multi-jurisdictional
issues there. She advised they will
certainly update the Board when they get the information on the Rybolt piece of
property. She added there have been some
changes to the Lake Picket South development proposal that was transmitted to
the Department of Community Affairs, and she believes the changes are actually
reducing some of the densities and some of the properties that were included in
that. She advised that is going for
final approval to the Orange County Board of County Commissioners in June as
well. She added staff will get all the
information for the Board with respect to those projects and brief each of them
individually on it.
Commissioner Dallari said the Board has stated a couple of times that
they are not interested in crossing the Econ River. There was a federal settlement many years ago
that there would only be one more crossing over the Econ River and that will
actually be needed for south of SR 50 for Deseret Ranch.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Ms. Guillet noted they have talked
to Orange County about putting some policies in with respect to coordination on
projects that would impact one another and they have been told by their staff
that they are working on those policies.
Commissioner Carey asked for an update on that as well.
Chairman’s Report/District 2
Chairman Horan reported that he met with a
wonderful business located in unincorporated Seminole County (Winter Springs
address) called Health Fair. They are a
logistics company that offers mobile health screening services. They have 16 units throughout the southeast
region of the United States and they have gone from about 50 employees to over
200 employees in the last year. The
Chairman said he hooked them up with economic development staff and also the
people at EDC.
-------
Chairman Horan advised they have a little bit of a problem on SR 426;
the contractor is not understanding what property is private property and what
property is not private property. A
letter went out to the mayors of Winter Springs and Oviedo about the
construction along that area and so it has been addressed once again. He said the boundaries are not as well marked
as they should be and the contractor just needs to make sure they modify their
operations so they do not inadvertently start storing stuff on private
property.
-------
In connection with the ECFRPC (East Central Florida Regional Planning
Council), Chairman Horan asked whether Commissioner Constantine wanted to
comment on the GIS product that the RPC has.
Commissioner Constantine advised that Volusia County as well as Lake
County have gone to a software system to make it safer for pedestrians and
bicyclists. They had the money for Lake
County, and Volusia County had most of the statistical data they needed to put
it together; however, they have asked them to go to the MPO and potentially put
together a plan of action for the three counties here because it seems to be
something that would really be helpful when talking about pedestrian
safety. The Chairman added they have
actually created the software and the template at the Regional Planning
Council. He opined the amazing thing is
you can click on any road and you can find out all the mobility and
connectivity issues that relate to pedestrian traffic and bicycle traffic and
the condition of the road in terms of level of service. He suggested the County Manager might want to
get the traffic management people and GIS people with the RPC because there
might be an opportunity for some real collaboration. Ms. Guillet responded she would be happy to
do that.
Ms. Guillet remarked she should bring their GIS folks in for a meeting
one day to give a demonstration of the things they are working on with respect
to using their Geographic Information Systems to map things they are doing in
Public Works and Environmental Services.
She explained you can click on any property and get all kinds of
information with respect to what kind of projects are going on and what kind of
work orders have been issued. The Board
then discussed GIS and how it helps economic development.
-------
Chairman Horan stated he attended the Mayors and Managers meeting last
week and thanked Sheriff Eslinger who made a presentation concerning the
proposals for school resource officers, and the Sheriff clarified some issues
that were concerns of the mayors and managers at that meeting.
-------
Chairman Horan reported they had a CFCH (Central Florida Commission on
Homelessness) meeting last week where John Hillenmeyer, Managing Chair, gave a
status report of where they are with regard to the task force plan. Orange County also gave their report and it
looks like both of them will be ready for the April and May time periods. There are still a number of discussions going
on and clarifications being made concerning the resources that are going to be
coalesced by the CFCH. The entire nation
is looking at the model that they are going to use and Volusia County has
joined up as well to take a look at that model.
Commissioner Carey stated that one of the items the Board approved
this morning was the three people from Aspire to go do VI-SPDAT (Vulnerability
Index & Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool), which is a way to
rank the order of how homeless people will be triaged basically. Chairman Horan further explained it is a unit
of measurement that has been created so you can assess somebody’s homelessness
factor. Commissioner Carey added it is
important to get that done as quickly as possible so they do not miss the
opportunity to get the funds that were given by Florida Hospital.
-------
Commissioner Carey stated while she was having discussions with the
Governor, she took the opportunity to discuss SR 417 and CFX (Central Florida
Expressway Authority), and he called her back with his transportation leader on
the line; she explained this is not the Secretary of Transportation, but his
transportation team that works directly for the Governor’s Office. Governor Scott advised he has given some
specific instructions to his staff to gather some information, and as soon as
they get it together, they will be sharing that with her and the Expressway
Authority as well. The question was, “If
you were doing this today, what would you do?”
She said she believes it will be very positive because if they were
doing this today, they would have had a transportation authority in place that
already regulates the four-county area.
She added the other question was who can afford to do it. While they cannot really compete with the
Turnpike Authority because it collects funds across the state, she certainly
thinks that the Expressway Authority can afford to operate these roads; they
have looked at the numbers already. She
said she will keep the Board up to date on that, but she felt good after she
had the conversation. She noted that
meanwhile they have the RFP out on the street to design/build the 417 toll
within a toll.
-------
Chairman Horan advised he will be attending the Central Florida
Leadership Forum tomorrow and has been invited to make comments on what they
are doing in the region to participate in global commerce; it will be one of
nine presentations they are making on regional issues. He will report back on that at the next
meeting.
-------
Chairman Horan noted there is a new marketing program that was
introduced at the Tourist Development Council and he will send that information
to the Commission offices. He added it
emphasizes Seminole County as being on the smart side of town.
-------
Chairman Horan stated the Board is aware that Rick Weddle, who was
president & CEO of the Orlando Economic Development Commission, left for a
different position as the president and CEO of the Hampton Roads Economic
Development Alliance in Virginia. The
Chairman advised that Holly Wiedman, who is the executive vice president, and
their staff are proceeding to execute the same business plan and strategic
plan. They had several reports on the
planning process for the strategic plan this year and the Chairman said he will
be passing on that information as well.
-------
In the Submissions List for today’s meeting, Chairman Horan stated
they will see that United Arts is undergoing their collaborative campaign right
now. People can contribute to that
campaign and also designate for specific Seminole County users. They have already collected $1 million, and
the goal is $2 million, but they have a couple of months to go on that. Commissioner Carey questioned how much had
been allocated to Seminole County so far.
Commissioner Constantine is the liaison on the Board and he advised they
have a meeting tomorrow and he will find out.
-------
Chairman Horan commented that the Purchasing Department continues to
accumulate awards. They received the
Award of Excellence in Public Procurement and Best Practices, and the County is
1 of only 13 total agencies in the nation, and 1 of only 3 county governments
to receive this award in the State of Florida.
He added he gave the opening comments last week at the County’s vendor
fair and that vendors like to do business with Seminole County because of the
great professionalism.

COUNTY MANAGER’S REPORT
Ms. Guillet expressed she wanted to give an
update on one item that was discussed at the last meeting which was the issue
regarding the bear hunt. She said the
County Attorney has confirmed that this Board is not in a position to prohibit
bear hunting in Seminole County; they are preempted from regulating that. There is a regulation that would allow them
to request that hunting be restricted in developed areas of the county,
however, that is at the FWC’s discretion; they make the final decision on
that. She added there are a number of
owners’ requirements that go along with that with respect to enforcement and
notification and things of that nature.
She suggested, unless the Board has any objection, they move forward
with preparing a resolution to send to the FWC (Fish & Wildlife
Conservation Commission) discussing how the Board would like them to promote
non-lethal management techniques where feasible. She added they can bring something back for
review at the next meeting.
Commissioner Carey stated she is still waiting for information as to
whether any bears were killed in this county.
Ms. Guillet responded they were told there were no bears killed in
Seminole County as part of the hunt, but they are in the process of confirming
that. Commissioner Carey added she also
wants to know where it happened in the county.
Commissioner Constantine said they all knew they could probably not ban
the bear hunt in Seminole County even though they would prefer that, but he thinks
that what those citizens last week also wanted was a resolution against the
