     Commissioner Dallari and Commissioner Carey submitted ex parte communications (received and filed) into the record.

     Bill Wharton, Planning & Development, addressed the Board to present the item as outlined in the Agenda Memorandum.  Mr. Wharton stated the Board may recall, they had the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) language for the SunRail stations, so staff did take out and put back what used to be called the Energy Conservation Overlay; they are now calling it the Centers and Corridors Overlay.  Staff is looking to continue to work with the cities on some type of TOD or see if they can meet some common ground for those areas around the Sanford and Altamonte SunRail stations.  Mr. Wharton discussed the changes made to the definitions in the Implementation element and noted those changes have been made since transmittal and are in the Agenda Memorandum.  He noted staff recommends approval.  Chairman Horan confirmed with Mr. Wharton that all of the issues addressed in the Objections, Recommendations, and Comments (ORC) Report were addressed in the changes. 

     With regard to public participation, no one in the audience spoke in support or in opposition to Item #23 and public input was closed.

     Commissioner Carey stated staff _#1_has _#Ž1_done _#1_an _#2_excellent _#’1_job _#“1_of _#”1_in_#•5_corporating _#š1_and _#›1_up_#œ2_dating _#ž1_some _#Ÿ1_of the rules _# 1_and _#¡1_reg_#¢2_ulations_#¤1_.  _#¥2__%_She e_#¥2_xplained out of 7 counties and 86 cities that participated in “_%_How _%_Shall _%_We _%_Grow,” Semin_#¥2_ole _%_County is the only entity _%__#§1__#¨1__#©1__#ª1__#«1__#¬1__#­1__#®1__#¯1__#°1__#±1__#²1__#³1__#´1__#µ1__#¶3__#¹1__#º1__#__#»1__#__#¼1__#__#½1__#__#¾1__#¿1_that _#À1_actually a_#Á2_dopted _#Ã1_the _#Ä2_language _#Æ1__#Ç1__#È1__#É1__#Ê1_into their _%_Comprehensive _#Ë1__#_Plan_#Ì2_._%_  _%_The _#_Centers _#Î1_and _#Ï2__#_Corridor_#Ñ1__#Ò1__#Ó1_s _#Ô1__#Õ2__#×1_c_#×1_oncept is _#Ø1__#Ù1_directly _#Ú1_out _#Û1_of _#Ü1_the_#Ü1_ “_#_How _#Ý1__#_Shall _#Þ1__#_We _#ß1__#_Grow” _#à1_document, and she said it was good to see _#á1_some _#â1_of _#ã1_tha_#ã1_t _#ä1_put _#å1_back _#æ1_in_#ç1_.  _%_She opined t_%_he addressing of _%_Complete _%_Streets throughout the community for safety and other things _%_is important.

     Commissioner Carey explained _%__%__#ø1__#ù1__#ú1_e_#ú1_very _#û1_community _#ü1_has _$!1_an _$"1_idea _$#1_about _$$1_what _$%1_they _$&1_want _$'1_to _$(1_see _$)1__$*1_around the_$+1__#_ir _%_Sun_$,1_R_$,1_ail _$-2_station_$/1_ but they_$01__%_ _$11_may _$22_vary from jurisdiction _$51_to jurisd_$51_iction, and she looks_%__$61__$61_ forward _$71_to _$81_a _$92_continuation _$;1_of _$<1_that _$=1_discussion_$>1_.  _$?1__%_She stated in preparation for that discussion, she would like to know if staff could ask the cities and countywide what their maximum densities are_$m1_ that they allow and _$n1_what _$o1_has _$p1_ac_$q1_tually _$r1_been _$s1_b_$s1_uilt _$t1_in _$u1_their _$v2_cities; _"_she would also like to know the same for the _%_County. _$x1_ _%_She opined they could understand _$œ1_it _$2_better_$Ÿ1_ if _$ 1_t_$ 1_hey _$¡1_had _$¢1_real-_$£1__$£1_li_$¤2_f_$¤2_e examples so when this discussion comes back to the _%_Board in the future,_$×2_ _$Ù1__$Ú2__$Ü1_t_$â1_hey are b_$ã1__$ä2_etter prepared to _$æ1__$ç1_have _$è1_an _$é1_in_$ê2_formed _$ì1_discussion_$í1_.

     Chairman Horan reminded there has been a series of good workshops this year regarding transportation and mobility, which city representatives were invited to, and those discussions continue to be ongoing.  He explained there has been some discussion at the Mayors and Managers meeting with regard to not only TOD but how to transition densities in various areas that are contiguous between the cities and the counties and between the cities themselves.  Chairman Horan agreed with Commissioner Carey that it would be useful to have the information she requested especially with regard to how that density was set up and whether it was set up before or after the infrastructure was put in.  Commissioner _%_Dallari stated the_%_ only t_$î1_hing he would add in regard to the _%_TOD information is that when the _%_r_$î1_ail is looked at, the surrounding road network should be looked at as well.

     Commissioner _%_Constantine thanked staff for working together with those communities, taking out the _%_T_$î1_ODs as indicated back in _%_November, and also the acknowledgement that there is still some disagreement a_$î1_s far as densities._$î1_ _%_He_%_ stated b_$î1_y continu_$î1_ing the dialog between the cities, _%_he thinks that will lead to a consistent policy and a framework for proceeding so that they have coordinated planning and the densities are consistent with each other.  _%_However, he knows that there are still some cities that have concerns about some of the long-term interest that they have as opposed to the _%_County,_$î1_ so it does e_$î1_veryone well if t_$î1_hey continue to work together.  Chairman _%_Horan discussed how if_%_ densities are set too high for a particular piece of land,_$î1_ you end up blighting it rather than trying to develop it to its highest and best use.  _%_He opined giving themselves_%_ some flexibility on these plans is a good way to go. 

     Commissioner _%_Carey pointed out how all of the _%_SunRail_%_ stations are in unique situations _$î1_and every one of them is different.  _%_Some are right in the heart of a downtown, like _%_Lake _%_Mary and _%_Longwood;_$î1_ where _%_Sanford is sitting out in the _%_County;_$î1_ and _%_Altamonte is a little away from the downtown.  _%_She explained _%_t_$î1_here needs to be a pretty good range and t_$î1_he _%_Board needs to understand what that is.  _%_She stated so_%_metimes people have things in their plan that are never built because financially it doesn't make sense from the development side.  _%_Commissioner _%_Carey reiterated she_%_ would like to be as well versed as possible and s_$î1_he would like staff to get the requested information and share it with the _%_Board.

     Commissioner _%_Dallari_(µ1_ stated a big issue with _%_SunRail is_%_ _(Á1__#_Positive _#_Train _#_Control_%_ (PTC_(Â1_) and _(Ã1_there _(Ä1_i_(Ä1_s _(Å1_some _(Æ1_in_(Ç2_her_(É2_ent infra_(Ë2_structure _(Í1_that_(Î1_ needs _(Ï1_to go _(Ð1_in.  _%_He asked how _(Ù1_that would _(Ú1__(Û1_affect _(Ü1_development in tho_(Ü1_se core areas because there's going to have to be changes to fences and roads and a lot of other things that may have to happen.

     Commissioner _%_Carey _(Ü1_stated the _%_SunRail maintenance facility was built right behind an existing residential subdivision and it has been a huge issue for the residents that live along there because _%_SunRail starts early in the morning doing maintenance work on the cars._%_  _#_The _%_DOT tried to work closely with the residents that live along there in the _%_Preserve at _%_Lake _%_Monroe, but nothing they have done has solved that issue yet.  _%__%_If a residential subdivision is developed next to an existing train track, you knew _(Ü1_that you were going to be living next to a train station;_(Ü1_ in this case, the d_(Ü1_evelopment was there before the _%_SunRail maintenance yard was there.  _%_She added there are certainly some things that need to be considered in the long-range plan for _%_SunRail.

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Henley, to adopt Ordinance #2017-20 amending the Introduction, Future Land Use, Housing, Intergovernmental Coordination, Recreation and Open Space, and Transportation Elements of the Seminole County Comprehensive Plan, as described in the proof of publication.

      Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

Nuisance Abatement

1st Avenue, Sanford

Agenda Item #24 – A-3510-17

     Proof of publication calling for a public hearing to consider adoption of a Resolution issuing an Order to declare the existence of a Public Nuisance at 1st Avenue, Sanford; to require corrective action by July 26, 2017; and to authorize necessary corrective action by the County in the event the nuisance is not abated by the record owners, received and filed.

     Liz Parkhurst, Building Division, addressed the Board to present the item as outlined in the Agenda Memorandum.  Ms. Parkhurst stated pursuant to Chapter 168 of the Seminole County Code, notice of this hearing was received by the record property owner Dan Collins Heirs.  She noted Building Official Paul Watson is available for questions. 

     Commissioner Carey stated there are several homes in her district that are on the County’s list and “radar screen” trying to get through all of the legal things that need to be done in order to get those taken care of.  She understands it is time consuming especially when there are a lot of heirs involved, but homes like this one that are still semi-standing are a hot bed for crime.  The faster staff can move these through the process, the greater the community appreciates that.  She asked staff to stay on this because it does make a big difference in the communities. 

     With regard to public participation, no one in the audience spoke in support or in opposition to Item #24 and public input was closed.

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to adopt appropriate Resolution #2017-R-90 issuing an Order to declare the existence of a Public Nuisance at 1st Avenue, Sanford, Parcel #33-19-31-506-0100-007B; to require corrective action by July 26, 2017; and to authorize necessary corrective action by the County in the event the nuisance is not abated by the record owners, as described in the proof of publication.

Nuisance Abatement

3008 E. 20th Street, Sanford

Agenda Item #25 – A-3500-17

     Liz Parkhurst, Building Division, addressed the Board to present the request to declare the existence of a Public Nuisance at 3008 E. 20th Street, Sanford, as outlined in the Agenda Memorandum.  Ms. Parkhurst stated pursuant to Chapter 168 of the Seminole County Code, a Summons to Appear along with the Notice of Determination was served to Frankie M. Warren, record property owner, by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office on April 11, 2017.  She noted Building Official Paul Watson is available for questions.

     Commissioner Carey requested a picture of the structure be shown (included in Agenda Memorandum) and pointed out a shed behind the house.  She noted the shed is in pretty good condition and there is a semi-built block structure, a few feet tall in front of the shed with possible wood or trash inside of it and asked if the semi-built block structure in front of the shed would be demolished as well.  Paul Watson, Building Official, addressed the Board and answered at this time, it is just the house itself but staff can add the other structure if it is the Board’s wish.  Commissioner Carey opined the storage shed appears to be in perfectly fine condition.  She voiced her concerns in regard to the block structure which included it falling on top of children or being used as a burn pit, and Mr. Watson stated he did not go on the property to look at it. 

     Frankie Warren, property owner, addressed the Board and stated she is in the process of finding out how to get a dumpster out to the property.  She explained the little structure in the back, in front of the shed, used to be an outside bathroom.  She has tried to knock it down and ended up putting branches in it, but they have never burned anything in there.  Ms. Warren stated she is in the process of getting it torn down before July 26th.  She mentioned a $200 demolition permit.  Mr. Watson responded that is the County’s common fee, but the Board can waive it if that is their wish.  Commissioner Carey asked what the purpose of a demolition permit is.  Mr. Watson answered to ensure that the structure is taken down properly, disposed of properly and that there’s no electric or water.  Ms. Warren responded the electric has been gone for three years and there hasn’t been water in the house for years.  She stores some of her personal stuff in the shed.  Mr. Watson asked Ms. Warren if she has a septic tank.  Ms. Warren answered she had one but it dried up eight or nine years ago.  Mr. Watson informed her it would need to be taken care of also.  Commissioner Carey explained the septic tank has to be abandoned in place and demolished properly.

     Commissioner Carey asked staff what it costs the County to demolish the facility.  She explained the County has done this in many places where the property owner did not have the ability to do it, and the County put a lien against the property until such time that the property is sold and then the County gets repaid for that.  Mr. Watson answered it is around $3,000 to $5,000; and since this is a smaller house, it would be on the lower end.  Ms. Warren discussed quotes she has received for dumpsters.  Commissioner Carey explained as Ms. Warren gets her bids, she just wants her to know what the average range is running.  Commissioner Carey stated she would be willing to waive the fee for the demolition permit but she would like the demolition permit to be obtained so the proper inspections are done. 

     Chairman Horan clarified if Ms. Warren lets the County go forward with the demolition, it will cost $3,000 to $5,000, which will then be a lien on the property.  He urged Ms. Warren to make sure whoever does the demolition work knows the full scope of the work and that it involves the septic tank, because she may find it will be cheaper to let the County do it and keep a lien on the property.  Commissioner Carey asked if Ms. Warren could have the property demolished by July 26th and she answered yes.

     Commissioner Constantine asked Ms. Warren if she understands that a lien means she doesn’t have to pay it right away, and the County gets the money back only when the property is sold.  Ms. Guillet added staff will be happy to work with Ms. Warren as she is putting together a list to get her bids for demolition.  Chairman Horan reiterated how liens work.

     With regard to public participation, no one in the audience spoke in support or in opposition to Item #25 and public input was closed.

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to adopt appropriate Resolution #2017-R-91 issuing an Order to declare the existence of a Public Nuisance at 3008 E. 20th Street, Sanford, Parcel #32-19-31-501-0000-0010; to require corrective action by July 26, 2017; to authorize necessary corrective action by the County in the event the nuisance is not abated by the record owners; and to waive the fee for the demolition permit, but not the requirements for the inspections that would be required from the demolition permit.

     Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

-------

     Ms. Guillet stated there was a presentation this morning recognizing Code Enforcement Officer Week.  While that presentation focused on the Sheriff’s Office, there are a number of County employees who are also Code Enforcement Officers who work in great partnership with the Sheriff’s Office.  Ms. Guillet took this time to recognize those employees.

Commissioner _%__%_Henley discussed the history between the _%_DOT and the landowners in that_#_ area.  _#_Each landowner received an amount of money for any perceived improvement and they also received an amount of money in order to provide landscaping on their property.  _%_He explained the wall is on private property so the _%_County has _%_no area in which i_7Œ1_t could be expected to add trees and so forth s_7Œ1_imilar to the portion of _%_Winter _%_Springs on the same _%_SR 424 expanse.  _%_He also noted a_7Œ1_ complaint regarding_%_ the wall not being straight and having an indentation because the landowner did not want the trees cut down, but now they want the wall straightened out.  Also, they want to stop and prevent any cut through on some of those streets_%_some o.  _%_Commissioner _%_Henley stated _%_Mr. _%_Gerhardt noted the r_%_etention pond _%_that the _%_DOT has across from the _%_4 Rivers shopping plaza and how it is not landscaped.

     _%_Commissioner _%_Henley added the _%_Rolling _%_Hills community also wants to know_%_ the status of the golf course and what the plans are.  _%_Chairman _%_Horan responded the _%_Board is going_%_ to be_%_be briefed by staff on that _%_soon.  He stated in addition to the _%_Knollwood landscaping issue, there is a landscaping issue from Rangeline Road to I-4 where the medians haven't been installed yet because even though the _%_County put money into escrow, there is some kind of dispute between the _%_City of _%_Longwood and the _%_DOT with regard to what they are going to plant_%_ in those medians.  Jean_%_Jean _%_Jreij, Public Works Director, addressed the Board to advise they are_%_ working on the design and the permitting with the _%_DOT, but they already have the agreement for $240,000.  _%_Chairman _%_Horan noted he_%_ just wanted to clarify the two different issues.  _%_Commissioner _%_Henley_%_ stated each of the contracts purchased with the landowners on the wall spell out exactly how much was allocated for each of those elements that _%_h_9­1_e mentioned to t_9­1_he _%_Board.  _%_Commissioner _%_Carey opined_%__%_ a lot of those residents out there are very happy with the wall that was installed along _%_Knollwood and the agreements that they worked out with the _%_DOT.

     Commissioner Carey stated the County is getting ready to start taking applications for the discounted bear-resistant garbage can program, and they will be available on the County’s website _%_June 1st.  _%_Grant money was received by _%_Florida _%_Wild_%_life_%_ _%_Commission.  _%_She explained this program_%_ allows a single-_<W1_family residence to purchase a bear-resistant can regularly priced at $180 for about $125.  _#_If an _%_HOA or neighborhood group would like to get together and h_<W1_ave cans for their entire community, the prices are as low as $42 per can.  _%_She reminded that _"_the funds are limited, this is a first-come, first-served application process, and any low-_<W1_income individuals can contact t_<W1_he _%_County's _#_Community _#_Assistance _#_Department for help in obtaining a bear-r_<W1_esistant garbage can.  _%_Commissioner _%_Carey suggested_%_ if staff happens to have a list of all of the neighborhoods along the west side of _%_I-4 that are impacted with the o_%_rdinance, they should notify the heads of all of those associations; and if staff doesn't have an up-to-date list, _%_the _%_Sheriff's _%_Office maintains a pretty accurate list of all of the _%_HOAs and who the contact people are for those. 

     _%__%_Ms. _%_Guillet_%_ informed the _%_Board there has been tremendous interest_%_ especially by the _%_HOAs because the price is so good.  _%_She stressed it is on a first-come, first-served basis and staff is concerned that t_<W1_hey may have more interest than t_<W1_hey have cans,_<W1_ but of course the _%_County will reinvest the funds that they get from the purchase of the cans.  _%__%_Commissioner _%_Constantine asked in regard t_<W1_o rather large _%_HOAs, if the _%_County needs 100% of those units_%_ to agree to use bear-resistant cans to actually receive them.  _%_Ms. _%_Guillet answered _%_t_<W1_he expectation is that there wi_<W1_ll be_@+3_ _@.1_a _@/1_requirement _@02_placed _@21_in the _@31_H_@41_O_@51_A _@61_documents that would _@81_require _@91_everybody_@:1_ in _@;3_perpetuity_@>1_ _@A1_to _@B1_keep _@C1_bear-resistant _@D1_cans_@E1_.  _%_S_@E1_he clarified it would be whatever percentage or majority the_%_ _%_HOA documents require.  _%_Commissioner_%_ _%_Carey opined if a whole section of a large _%_HOA_%_ wanted bear-resistant cans, she would say that certainly should be allowable.

District 1

     Commissioner _%_Dallari _A¿1_explained _"_for the past year and a half, _%_MetroPlan, with their _"_national _"_organization, has been working very diligently with other states regarding the rule making from the _%_DOT.  _%_The rule making of the _%_DOT in _%_Washington has been requiring _%_MetroPlan and _%_COGs_A¿1_ (Council of Governments) nationally to expand their regions with other _%_MetroPlan and _%_CO_A¿1_Gs transportation organizations that are in urban areas.  _%_That would require _%_MetroPlan _%_Orlando to include _%_Lake and parts of _%_Volusia _%_County.  _%_Over the past year and a half, they’ve been working with various groups and that has now been reversed, so that is no longer required.

     Commissioner Dallari stated t_A¿1_hey have been working most diligently at _%_MetroPlan on _%_Complete _%_Streets.  _%_T_A¿1_hey have also done a complete study of all of the values of the _%_SunRail s_%_stations for Transit-Oriented Development (_%_TOD) improvements, and that is a report that he would _%_be happy to circulate among the _%_Board members.  _%_He explained _"_in the revised _%_Transportation _%_Improvement _%_Plan _%_(TIP), the expansion of the _"_express lanes on SR 417 has been removed permanently;_A¿1_ it has been unfunded. _B¶1_ _%_He noted _"_it's not that _B·3__Bº1__B»1__B¼2__B¾2__BÀ1_he's opposed to the widening of _%_SR 417, he's opposed _BÁ1_to _BÂ1__BÃ1_a _BÄ1_toll _BÅ1_within _BÆ1_a _BÇ1_toll_BÈ1_.

-------

     Commissioner _%_Dallari stated w_%_ith_%_ the expansion of _%_I-4, the_%_ DOT is continuing to do things with those two rest stops and actually expanding them.  _%_He noted his biggest concern is that the _%_DOT wants to put a retention pond in _%_Grace _%_Lake.  _%_Commissioner _%_Dallari opined that is truly a nightmare.  _%_He requested staff review that _CJ1_because he doesn't think putting a retention pond in an existing lake is really the right thing to do for those residents.  _%_Commissioner _%_Carey and _%_Commissioner _%_Co_CJ1_nstantine made comments regarding how well _%_Grace _%_Lake is doing and how healthy it is right now.  _%_Commissioner _%_Dallari explained_%_ the _%_DOT is _CJ1_putting in trees along _%_I-4 to mitigate the sound, and now they're proposing to take tho_CJ1_se trees down; he requested _%_staff look at that as well and report back to the _%_Board.  _%_He opined the _%_DOT is_%_ adversely affecting the quality of life of the residents in the adjoining subdivisions.
