Agenda Item #2 - no number

Chairman Horan explained that the Seminole Action Board (SAB) is a group of business people who have been performing and executing the Countys homelessness initiative for the last year. The Chairman stated this presentation will be their one-year report.

John Hillenmeyer, Chairman of the Seminole Action Board, addressed the Board to report that he is very proud of the work the group has done and the outcomes they have achieved. The group has not resolved homelessness in Central Florida but they have made great progress. Mr. Hillenmeyer then thanked the Commissioners, who authorized and empowered a group of people to come together and address what was felt to be a serious problem in Central Florida.

Mr. Hillenmeyer began a PowerPoint presentation entitled Seminole Community Action Strategy - An Approach to Impact and Reduce Homelessness in Seminole County One-Year Review and displayed the Seminole Action Board slide. He then discussed past strategies and how the SAB was formed. Mr. Hillenmeyer reiterated his thanks to each Commissioner for their support and emphasized that the SAB would not have gotten anything done without the Commissioners help.

Mr. Hillenmeyer introduced the SAB members in the audience. He specifically acknowledged Wendy Brandon, Valmarie Turner, Nicole Guillet, and Dawn Kraus. He explained that the volunteers provide different perspectives other than just a social service view and pointed out that Philip Mangano, SAB Advisor, has proved that you can have a compassionate big heart, use business principles, and get better results than great hearts alone cannot pull off.

Mr. Hillenmeyer displayed and reviewed the list of Partner Agencies. He specifically acknowledged Aspire, Health Care Center for the Homeless, Community Based Care of Central Florida, Pathways Home, Goodwill, the Seminole County Housing Authority, Seminole County Public Schools Foundation, Seminole County Sheriffs Office, Wendover Development, Heart to Heart, and Northland Church. Mr. Hillenmeyer stated SAB believes in supporting a regional agenda of strategies but stressed that they firmly believe that solving this problem takes local initiatives and local leadership because every place is not the same.

Mr. Hillenmeyer stated that Mr. Mangano has been their advisor and facilitator and is a national resource in homelessness. He briefly reviewed Mr. Manganos eight-year tenure in the Bush administration and pointed out that Mr. Mangano believes very deeply in the social justice of helping the homeless and those in need but does it through a business framework and can prove that can and does work well.

Philip Mangano, CEO of American Round Table to Abolish Homelessness, addressed the Board and continued the presentation. Mr. Mangano thanked the Commissioners for their cooperation and support because without that, they would not have gotten the job done. He reported that when he was in Washington and they did an analysis of the cities and counties that were doing the best work regarding homelessness in communities, that is actually reducing the number of homeless people in communities, the number one correlative in getting the job done was the political will of the jurisdictional CEOs in those communities.

Mr. Mangano explained how the SAB has moved from process to performance, from inputs to outcomes, and from anecdote and conjecture to data and research. He talked about how critical the partners have been in the work that they have done and how the SABs business approach has made a significant difference. Mr. Mangano recognized Reverend Joel Hunter for his ministry of inclusivity, which has been spiritually inspirational to the group. He mentioned the new entity that Reverend Hunter and his team have created, Community Resource Network. Mr. Mangano recognized Pathways to Care, Pathways to Housing, and Pathway Homes. He talked about the Foundation for Seminole Public Schools and the investments of resources they have made over time that came in when they called for performance and outcomes. That has been a template for some of the work that has been done by the larger group. He acknowledged the School System and their social workers who went out into the hotels and motels and visited people in cars and identified people so they could be moved along.

Mr. Mangano recognized one of the newest members, Jonathan Wolf with Wendover Housing, and stated they have brought to the table a key developer in the county in terms of a renewed commitment on Wendover Housings part to create housing specifically targeted to homeless people. Mr. Mangano explained that one of the central impediments to getting the job done is units. They have the social service resources but they need more units.

Mr. Mangano reported that the Seminole Action Board is about to inaugurate a performance prize for meritorious achievement among nonprofits who get the job done and produce outcomes and results. He added that the intent is to name that prize the Hillenmeyer Award of Performance to acknowledge the great work that Mr. Hillenmeyer has done in leading this group. Mr. Mangano discussed investments made by the County and how SAB looks to leverage that investment. He noted that part of the leveraging is in the Seminole Action Opportunity Fund. Mr. Mangano explained that the SAB focused on accountability, action, and specifically on performance; did they make a difference in the lives of their homeless neighbors. He pointed out that if all of their meetings, all of their conversations, all of their angst on this issue did not bring remedy to those individuals (to those mothers, fathers, and especially children), then their efforts are hollow. They are just do‑gooders who leave their poorest neighbors in their long misery.

Mr. Mangano displayed the Year One Strategy slide and advised that the Year One Strategy was quantifiable, not nebulous. He then reviewed the four strategies. With regard to Homeless Individuals, the goal was to end the homelessness of the 50 most vulnerable and disabled individuals in Seminole County; and the Result was 117 individuals were placed in housing during the first year of the initiative. With regard to Homeless Families, the goal was to end the homelessness of the 120 most vulnerable families in Seminole County; and the Result was 142 families were placed in housing. Mr. Mangano then talked about the partnerships that were vital to these achievements. He stated the intent was to end the homelessness of 400 of their homeless neighbors, and they actually ended the homelessness of 500 people who didn't have a place to stay, didn't have a place to live in, and didn't have a home. With regard to Investment and Leveraging, Mr. Mangano reported they leveraged more than $2 million from federal and philanthropic resources over the course of the year. He emphasized that is $2 million that came into the county by virtue of strategic investments authorized by the BCC and carried out by the County Manager.

The Year One Outcomes slide was displayed and summarized. With regard to the View to the Future slide, Mr. Mangano reviewed the five listed recommendations for Seminole County. Mr. Mangano added a sixth recommendation. He pointed out that in their work with homeless families, they recognize that many families who are vulnerable, on the edge, and on the margins are living in hotels and motels. He believes one of their commitments as a community is to engage the owners of those hotels and motels and try to work with them. They are providing an important resource. Those families, if they weren't in those motels, as egregious as the overcrowding might be, might be on the streets in their cars. They should engage the owners of those hotels in a collaborative way to figure out how to work together to either make those more habitable for the families or figure out different ways to reconfigure.

Mr. Mangano discussed the Dashboard and Accountability Committee and stressed they are not interested in conjecture and anecdote. With regard to how many people were housed, the committee had to go through a lot of meanderings to get to the numbers but they are certain of those numbers. He acknowledged the great work that Valmarie Turner and the people at Community Services have done as the committee has agonized over what the correct numbers are. Mr. Mangano stated one of the primary intents in the next year for the Dashboard and Accountability Committee is to determine the number of homeless people in Seminole County. He pointed out that with every source they go to, they get different numbers. They are going to take that on themselves and come up with the best number that they can. Mr. Mangano reviewed the second task, which is to apply methodology and due diligence to what is reported to determine what the actual number is. He displayed the Special Thanks slide and recognized Captain Dan Purcell, with the Sheriffs Office, and Anthony Raimondo, Deputy Chief of Police in Sanford, for the good work they are doing in terms of identifying people who are on the streets.

Commissioner Carey referred to Mr. Mangano's comments about the delay in getting data and pointed out that they have talked about the HSN system for a long time; how the data goes in, how they get data, and some of the impediments to that. She questioned whether Mr. Mangano has a solution to how they can change the way they get the data. Mr. Mangano stated when they interacted with HSN over the course of the last year, he thinks they have become much more amenable in providing data as best they can. The difficulty is that in serving multiple jurisdictions with a limited staff, they are unable. It is not through some kind of mal intent, but they just don't have the resources to provide the data that is needed. Mr. Mangano explained that because they are organized around business principles and practices, SAB deems that data to be critical in terms of creating policy and making investments. He added that the idea of having immediate access to data is critical in any business field.

Mr. Mangano advised that the Dashboard team has had multiple conversations and they have visited HSN. They were told as recently as a couple weeks ago when they were making simple requests for data that the request will be put in the queue and they cannot tell them when they will be able to get that information. He does not believe it is through mal intent. SAB just has a different frame for how they are coming to the issue. It is not simply good intention, well‑meaning programs, and humanitarian gestures. It is data, performance, and outcome. He stressed it is not the frame that HSN is used to.

Commissioner Carey reminded everyone that they have talked over several years now about the ability for all of the partners to be able to put data in and get data out. If they are entrusting a group to take on the homelessness issue and have people that are authorized to access that data, it should not only be to put the data in but to be able to get the data that they need out. That is the key and it solves their problem as well. They wouldnt have everybody backed up if they would allow the partners to have access to it. She advised the BCC is providing funding there so they certainly ought to be able to have access. She does not understand why that is so difficult. Mr. Mangano responded that over the last year, the Dashboard Committee and the SAB Board in general have come to the conclusion that they need to collect the data and have it available internally in an IT system in Seminole County so that when they need a piece of data, they can go to their own system, achieve that data, and then make adjustments to policy and investment as is necessary. He believes the best way to do that is to take that data internally. There are many episodes and there are people in the audience that could talk about the difficulty of getting data. He emphasized again that it is not through mal intent; but for one reason or another, they can't get that done for SAB, and SAB needs to do it themselves.

Commissioner Carey invited Shelley Lauten to come forward to discuss this. The Commissioner remarked that this has been one of the frustrating pieces of this puzzle all along. They have talked about using a different system. Ms. Lauten reported there was about a $1 million investment made in the HSN system. They have been working to make it open‑sourced. Hopefully by the fall, they should have a system where everybody who has got access can pull their own data. It is the most important thing that they have to be doing. Ms. Lauten reported that the second issue, which she thinks is critically important, is that every time she came into a meeting, there was another data source; and they don't connect. They are not finding duplication of effort. They are not seeing what is not in HSN, which is a big portion, the people who are not using HSN like the churches for example.

Ms. Lauten stated they just got authorized at the commission to move forward and they are going to use Seminole County as their pilot (because Seminole is further along) to look for a way to connect HSN, the Community Resource Network (which is the faith community), the wonderful Sheriff's Department, and the Library system. She noted there are all of these great data sources and they are all running parallel. Ms. Lauten reiterated that they have a pilot program that they hope to start in September to see how they can "de‑dupe" the data and get some comprehensive data so they can start to know how many homeless people they actually have. Mr. Mangano added that even if they had direct access to HSN's data, one of the things they discovered in trying to come up with the numbers that were presented here today is that they could give them about 50% of what was reported because certain programs and certain initiatives are not within the Homeless Management Information System, which is another reason why he feels strongly that it would be important for Seminole County to maintain its own data system so that they have the collection of data. He stated they have groups that meet regularly and that is how they achieved these numbers for today, not simply by going through HSN.

Mr. Hillenmeyer agreed that HSN has improved its performance. He noted that the problem is that HSN is basically the TSA of HUD money so they are accountable to HUD. He believes that is a big problem because SAB is trying to deal with the whole issue. A lot of the stuff is outside of what HUD defines as homeless and basically they don't deal with it. He stated that SAB is trying to deal with populations that fall together. Mr. Hillenmeyer explained that getting the count they got for the presentation took a lot of work to track down but now they really have the real numbers and know by person who was helped. Commissioner Carey advised that HUD has made some adjustments in their rules and how the money is going to be distributed. She knows that conversation is still going on. The Commissioner stated she thinks they need to really organize a strong lobby for the feds so they understand what needs to be changed in HUD to allow communities like theirs to do what they feel is best with their HUD dollars; and HUD cannot continue to say, "Well, it is this much for this program and you can't qualify for that program." She talked about why they need flexibility and then advised that the Board will do everything they can to help and she is available to help in any way that she can. Commissioner Carey thanked Mr. Mangano and his group for all that they have done.

Commissioner Dallari thanked Mr. Mangano for his presentation and thanked everyone present for being a part of this project and trying to help end homelessness. The Commissioner stated that what makes Seminole County unique is that time after time the business community steps up; and he thanked them for taking the time, not just out of their personal time but also out of their business, and stepping up and making a difference. He referred to the pilot program that Mr. Mangano and Ms. Lauten were discussing and stated he believes that is what will stop the silo effect. Once that pilot program is up and running, they can then take that model and tell HUD this is the right way to do it. These are the things that the citizens of Seminole County and the business people expect of government. Since the pilot program starts sometime in the fall, Commissioner Dallari wondered if there is an estimate of how long it will take to put the pilot program together and see actual results. Ms. Lauten reported that one of the issues that they are already running into is that some people move at a different pace of change than others and some organizations change at a different pace than others. She stated that is why she actually wanted to start in Seminole County because she believes there are more organizations than not who want to see this change. Ms. Lauten stated she has to understand, and the partners have to understand, the data sources and how they can get them to link, which is more technical than she has the knowledge right now. She thinks they can do that and is hoping that in six months they will have a good sense of how to connect. Commissioner Dallari confirmed with Ms. Lauten that she believes within six months to a year, she will have a good sense of how the pilot program is actually working. Commissioner Dallari then asked how the Board can help in achieving the goals. Ms. Lauten responded that when she puts the group together, she will need the Boards help in making sure they stay together and stay at the table. They will first identify the barriers for coming together and will come back to the Board if they are running into ways that people can't remove or don't want to remove those barriers. She knows CRN and HMIS were built by the same company. Ms. Lauten emphasized that the Community Resource Network is going to be a piece that is going to help the community like no other community in helping the families especially move out of homelessness. If they can get that up and running and connect that into HMIS, it will allow them to have the limited data that is coming into HMIS to be enriched. There are over 1,400 places of worship in the three counties. She suggested they imagine the power of connecting the data from all the people that the faith community sees at their doorstep, which half of them are not going into HMIS. They will have such a robust idea of who the families are especially and how they are being served. She pointed out that it is a huge piece and believes if they get those two connected, they will go a long way in solving this issue.

Commissioner Dallari asked Ms. Lauten to please let all five of the Commissioners know if there are any obstacles or boundaries that she needs help with. He again thanked the volunteers and the business sector for being a part of this. Ms. Guillet thanked the entire Seminole Action Board and acknowledged that it is wonderful having a partnership with the SAB. They have a very strong voice with the SAB and with Mr. Mangano. Ms. Guillet talked about the effectiveness of the group and pointed out that the data issue and bridging the gap for things like utilities have been an ongoing issue for over 12 years, and they have been able to resolve that on a Seminole County level because of the efforts of the SAB in a year. She believes that speaks volumes of how effective and how valuable and how important this group is to the community. Commissioner Carey talked about the "Ten to End" commitment, which was an effort that was started a number of years ago. Ms. Lauten underscored what Mr. Mangano said earlier, that the regional framework is important but the work gets done at the local level. She believes Seminole County is a great example. The County has taken it, owned it, and still abides by the regional strategies.

Chairman Horan thanked all of the Seminole Action Board members for the tremendous work that they have done and the tremendous results they have gotten. The Chairman talked about the need for a partnership with many different types of providers to do this. He advised that the problem they are having is that the regional approach, which is tied into HUD's approach, has a tendency to measure outputs not outcomes. The way the SAB has basically carved through all of this data and identified other sources of data and come up with really good strategies, because they have good data, is the kind of thing that one would expect business people to do. When the Board handed this off to business people and Seminole leadership came in, he knew they did the right thing. The Chairman complimented the SAB, Ms. Lauten, and Mr. Mangano for the great work they have done in trying to bring in all of the various regional partners together. Chairman Horan suggested that if anyone wants to contribute, they can go to the Central Florida Foundation and go to the drop‑down box where it says Seminole Action Opportunity Fund.

Commissioner Henley remarked that, as has been stated several times by Commissioner Carey and others, many efforts have happened over the years. The situation they find themselves in did not happen overnight and will not be solved overnight. The Commissioner stated he sees faces out in the audience that were not there years ago when other efforts were made. He encouraged each of them, as the Good Book does, to not grow weary of doing good because this is something that will take a long time. Commissioner Henley stated he appreciates very much those who have committed to resolve this situation. He believes it is something that can be solved as long as they are determined and stay committed.

Commissioner Carey requested that they put this report on the front page of their website and also a link for people that do want to make a contribution to make it as easy as possible since they leveraged those dollars between the investment that the County made and the contributions that private individuals through philanthropy gave to over $2 million just in this past year.

CONSOLIDATED STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT

(CSLD) ORDINANCE AMENDMENT

 

Agenda Item #24 PH-2017-0142

Proof of publication calling for a public hearing to consider approval of the Consolidated Street Lighting District (CSLD) Ordinance Amendment, repealing and replacing Ordinance #2016-25, received and filed.

Kathy Moore, Resource Management Department, addressed the Board and presented the Item as outlined in the Agenda Memorandum. She stated this Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU) was originally established to fund decorative street lighting that was selected and installed by the developer. The dissolution of the MSBU is requested by the property owners due to the high cost of operating and maintaining the decorative equipment. Ms. Moore explained the goal that was expressed by the community is to have the existing equipment removed as each of the two supporting contracts expire. Per communication from the Veramonte HOA representative, the equipment will be replaced and funded privately at the discretion of the HOA. She added the dissolution was initiated by the Veramonte HOA and carried a community-support rate of 75% as demonstrated through the standard petition process.

Ms. Moore stated the assessment rates approved for levy via the 2017 Assessment Roll are anticipated to be the final assessment for this MSBU and have been calculated according to the respective contract termination dates. The administrative revisions recommended by the MSBU program are documented in Exhibits B-1 through B-3, which include an Administrative Boundary Adjustment for street lights operating along Wimbledon Drive. The Boundary Adjustment includes the addition of 17 properties that benefit from the lights on Wimbledon Drive as the road provides access to the property. Ms. Moore explained the Boundary Update is respective to operating costs only. The maintenance expenses continue to be funded separately as this equipment is the responsibility of the property owners of Shannon Downs and the recommendation of this update was initially communicated to the owners of impacted property this past February.

Ms. Moore stated if approved, the amended Ordinance will be effective October 2017. Following public input, the action requested is to adopt the Ordinance and authorize the Chairman to execute the revised version of the Ordinance.

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 approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the Consolidated Street Lighting District (CSLD) Ordinance Amendment #2017-29, repealing and replacing Ordinance #2016-25, deleting the Veramonte Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU) and making other minor administrative adjustments; and to adopt the respective initial assessment rolls, as described in the proof of publication.

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

RESOLUTION TO ADOPT THE 2017

NON-AD VALOREM ASSESSMENT ROLL

Agenda Item #25 PH-2017-0255

Proof of publication calling for a public hearing to consider approval of a Resolution to adopt the 2017 Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Roll with certification provided to the Seminole County Tax Collector, received and filed.

Kathy Moore, Resource Management Department, addressed the Board and presented the Item as outlined in the Agenda Memorandum. She explained what the Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Roll is. She stated notices were mailed in July to the owners of all property subject to non-ad valorem assessment and the Roll presented today reflects the mailed-notice data as well as the consolidated street light Ordinance as amended today. The Roll is to be submitted to the Tax Collector by September 15th and will include minor updates to accommodate property record changes initiated by the Property Appraiser as well as any service option changes received for solid waste management services.

Ms. Moore stated following public input, the requested Board action is to adopt and provide certification of the 2017 Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Roll.

Greg Van Arsdale, 1584 Crosbeam Drive, addressed the Board and stated previously he had written a letter and email to Chairman Horan and Commissioner Dallari in 2014 about his problem with the Solid Waste Program. He explained the County is going to change the Solid Waste Program to options one and two, deleting options three and four; and he has a problem with that because the two options that will remain are the most expensive. H_%1_e _%1_does not think that this _%1_program _%1_has _%1_been _%2__%1_looked at _%1_in _%1_a _%2_diligent _%2_format _%1_by _%4_eliminating _%1_the_%1_ most _%2_econom_&!1_ical _&"2_portions _&$1_of the _&%2_service_&'1_ and expressed he doesn't know_&(1__&)1_ _&*1_what _&+1_the_&,1_ ben_&-1_efit _&.1_is to _&/1_him_&01_ _&11_or the _&21_other _&32_citizens _&51_in _&61__&71_the same _&82_service _&:2_category_&<1_.

GRACE LAKE AQUATIC VEGETATION AND LAKE MANAGEMENT

MUNICIPAL SERVICES BENEFIT UNIT (MSBU)

 

Agenda Item #26 PH-2017-0259

Proof of publication calling for a public hearing to consider an Ordinance creating the Grace Lake Aquatic Vegetation and Lake Management Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU) to generate funding to support ongoing management of the lake and provide adoption of the initial assessment roll, received and filed.

Kathy Moore, Resource Management Department, presented the Item as outlined in the Agenda Memorandum. She noted the request for establishing this MSBU was initiated by community application. Ms. Moore stated the initial assessment roll is included for adoption in the proposed Ordinance with levy through the 2017 property tax bill. The fluctuation in annual cost may be particularly relevant to Grace Lake as it has experienced an unusual history in which it had receded substantially for a period of years due to sinkhole activity.

Ms. Moore stated following public input, the action requested for the Board is to consider adopting an Ordinance creating the Grace Lake Aquatic Vegetation Management MSBU as requested by the majority of the lake-front property owners. She noted a representative of the Applicant is present and would like to address the Board.

Mark Kamrath, 1377 South Ridge Lake Circle, President of the North Ridge Homeowners Association, and Marianne King, 1339 Grace View Court, Vice President of the North Ridge Homeowners Association, addressed the Board. Mr. Kamrath read aloud his comments (received and filed) in support of the Grace Lake MSBU, and Ms. King submitted photos (received and filed) of Grace Lake. Mr. Kamrath pointed out the excessive hydrilla in the photos that is growing rapidly. He stated they have been told if it continues to grow at this rate, by October or November it will take over the entire lake. He thanked the Board for their consideration.

Vanessa Smith, 1227 Baypoint Court, addressed the Board and stated she has a bachelors degree in water chemistry and worked 12 years for Palm Beach County Water Utility and the Winter Park Lakes Management Department. With that experience, she is here in support of the MSBU proposal. She expressed the lake vegetation should be professionally administered and treated. She is also thrilled with the idea that the money will be collected and managed by the County. Ms. Smith stated she attended the presentation from the MSBU County officials and they were able to answer her questions and concerns and she was quite impressed with their professionalism and experience in this matter. She discussed the growing vegetation issue, the affordable price of the assessment, and the value of the lake.

Patricia Rubino, 1534 Grace Lake Circle, addressed the Board and stated she is here specifically in regard to the treatment of the lake such as applying the chemicals and herbicides. Ms. Rubino explained there is another option. There has been successful use of just fish and not chemicals in lakes all over the county and the rest of the state. Ms. Rubino stated she has a nine-year-old son who has some severe allergies as well asthma and eczema. When he has an allergic reaction to things such as food, chemicals, or environmental issues, he can go from anaphylactic shock to asthma attacks to rashes and hives. She added there is no way to predict if he is going to have a reaction to these sort of chemicals, but the chemical glyphosate is being investigated by Morgan and Morgan for a possible class action lawsuit. She discussed how chemicals that may be safe to most people can affect her son.

With regard to public participation, no one else in the audience spoke in support or in opposition to Item #26, and public input was closed.

Speaker Request Forms were received and filed.

Gloria Eby, Lake Management Program, Principal Scientist, addressed the Board and discussed the different types of herbicides that the County uses. She stated there are options where they can work with an individual when it comes to shoreline treatments, like glyphosate, where they become a no-spray zone specifically for the emergent vegetation that they would be addressing. They would simply enter GPS coordinates for a particular parcel and not treat in that area, so they can accommodate for those types of concerns. When it comes to hydrilla, Ms. Eby explained staff is proposing fluridone, which is known as no risk and there are a lot of statistics as far as how much you have to consume before a human being is adversely reacted to that. She reiterated there are options where they can compromise related to glyphosate use and a personal property owner.

Ms. Eby stated she has extensive history in using triploid grass carp fish for hydrilla management. Grass carp are a solution, they will target hydrilla; however, it will target other species because a fish doesnt know any better. It will go for the other natives that are within the lake, and what they often see is that lake turns into a dead lake and you get more algal blooms that are occurring which could be more of an adverse effect, especially if somebodys got some allergens. She explained once you put the fish in, you cant take them out because they are very smart fish and they are herbivores, so you cant use a regular lure to get them out. To get control over the hydrilla, you would have to stock the fish at a very high rate that is going to denude or void the lake of beneficial aquatic plants and you will see some adverse reactions to the lake.

Commissioner Carey confirmed with Ms. Eby that they could identify Ms. Rubinos property and not spray along her shoreline. Ms. Eby clarified that is correct only for the emergent scope of work but not for the hydrilla. Upon an inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Ms. Eby stated the County treats 19 MSBU lakes and all of the parks. Commissioner Carey asked if the County has ever had any notification that there has been a human reaction to the best practices that the County initiates in those lakes and parks. Ms. Eby answered related to herbicide, no.

Commissioner Dallari asked how the work on I-4 would affect this lake and MSBU. Commissioner Carey asked what is happening with One Church for the overflow. Jean Jreij, Public Works Director, addressed the Board and stated Grace Lake has outfall that goes to the west side of I-4. The DOT drainage is moving to the north side and not impacting that drainage. Commissioner Dallari asked if the DOT is using Grace Lake for any fallout or any drainage requirements for I-4, and Mr. Jreij answered no. Commissioner Dallari asked if they are going to put any retention ponds in or around Grace Lake that will affect that lake. Mr. Jreij answered they are moving it to the north so theyre not going to be discharging through Grace Lake. Commissioner Dallari questioned if they are going to touch the lines running underneath I-4; and Mr. Jreij answered they are not going to touch those lines, they will remain the same.

Commissioner Carey confirmed with Mr. Jreij that Grace Lake is still going to pop off and go under the interstate and over to One Church. Mr. Jreij stated they are doing a study now to see if there is another way to relieve the flooding on the west side, but they dont know yet what they are going to do; but the DOT will not be discharging through Grace Lake.

Motion by Commissioner Henley, seconded by Commissioner Constantine, to adopt Ordinance #2017-30 creating the Grace Lake Aquatic Vegetation and Lake Management Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU) to generate funding to support ongoing management of the lake and provide adoption of the initial assessment roll, as described in the proof of publication.

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

Chairman Horan noted with regard to Ms. Rubinos situation, she could get with staff so they can arrange to exclude that shoreline.

RLH CONSTRUCTION OFFICE SMALL SCALE FUTURE LAND USE

(SSFLU) MAP AMENDMENT AND REZONE/Richard Haines

 

Agenda Item #27 PH-2017-0023

Proof of publication calling for a public hearing to consider a Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment from Medium-Density Residential to Planned Development and a Rezone from R-1 (Single-Family Dwelling) to PD (Planned Development) for an office building on 1.85 acres, located on the east side of W. SR 426, approximately 300 feet northeast of James Drive, Richard Haines, received and filed.

Matt Davidson, Planning & Development, addressed the Board and reviewed the Item as outlined in the Agenda Memorandum. He added the Applicant recently held a community meeting last Wednesday evening with several of the surrounding Jamestown residents to discuss the proposed project. He stated staff recommends approval.

Greg Crawford, Florida Engineering Group, 5127 South Orange Avenue, addressed the Board and stated he represents RLH, owners of the property, and is present to address any questions the Board may have. Commissioner Carey stated there is no access proposed to this site except off of SR 426, and Mr. Crawford replied that is correct. Commissioner Carey continued there is no access back to the community. She asked where they are proposing the masonry wall. Mr. Crawford answered the wall will be along the three sides of the site and the only place that wont have the wall is where the existing wetland is going to remain on the back north, sort of the north-east corner of the property.

Beverly Stewart, 1933 South Street, addressed the Board and recited 1 Corinthians 14:40, Let all things be done decently and in order. She stated she is here as a representative of the Jamestown subdivision and to voice her opposition to the Item. She opined the residents in the subdivision do not want or need an office building in their community. What they want is their R-1 (Single-Family Dwelling) status to stay as is. She discussed needing a viable, working drainage system that would be a blessing to everyone in Jamestown. Ms. Stewart stated she would love to have domestic tranquility that is afforded to her by the Constitution of the United States nationally and locally. She expressed her distrust in RLH representatives. She asked the Board to disapprove this request.

With regard to public participation, no one else in the audience spoke in support or in opposition to Item #27, and public input was closed.

Speaker Request Form and Written Comment Forms were received and filed.

Commissioner Dallari stated the Applicant has had a public meeting with the community and heard some comments from them. He asked if the Applicant has tried to address any of their concerns. Mr. Crawford answered they are accessing the main highway so they are not going back within the community itself. And also to help stream the neighbors from the development, they have walls and landscape along the property. He stated they hope the project will fit in and also transition between the different uses along the roadway and the residential lots in the back. Commissioner Carey stated in looking at the site plan, they have a wall along the back up to the wetland and the pond is in the back, parking in the back, small 2,700-square-foot building in the back and all of that is accessed by CR 426. Mr. Crawford replied that is correct.

Commissioner Carey asked for the aerial map to be displayed. She stated CR 426 is a major commercial industrial-type corridor and that is where they would expect this type of development to occur. She asked about the surrounding industrial office developments including the Magnolia Corporate Center, the DOT Oviedo Operations Center, and the Duke Energy/Jamestown Complex. Mr. Davidson confirmed they are all large industrial properties. In regard to the property adjacent to the proposed development that is zoned C-1 (Non-Conforming Use), Commissioner Carey asked what that structure is. Mr. Davidson answered it is a single-family home that is legally non-conforming to both the zoning district and future land use. So if it was to develop, it would have to come in and rezone to a more particular zoning type.

Commissioner Dallari stated in looking at the zoning map, he sees PD across the street, C-1 adjacent to it, C-2 right across the street, as well as C-3 and other various office buildings along the area. He explained even though the property abuts Jamestown, it does not go into Jamestown access-wise. The County has had other projects that have tried to access into Jamestown that they have denied because they are trying to keep the Jamestown community whole; but since this is accessing onto a major arterial road, CR 426, he doesnt see an issue with it.

Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to adopt Ordinance #2017-31 enacting a Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment from Medium-Density Residential to Planned Development; adopt Ordinance #2017-32, enacting a Rezone from R-1 (Single-Family Dwelling) to PD (planned Development); and approve the associated Development Order and Master Development Plan for an office building on 1.85 acres, located on the east side of W. SR 426, approximately 300 feet northeast of James Drive, as described in the proof of publication; Richard Haines, Applicant.

She opined it should not be the use of a PD zoning over traditional LDR zoning regulations to solve the issue. As more and more land is sought by developers with more and more wetlands, the density needs to be reduced in order to fit the four homes per acre onto the buildable land.

_%_Ms. _%_Carey wondered how excited the homeowners will be when they learn they are responsible for the ownership and maintenance of _@A1_one _@B1_of the _@C3_two _@F3_entrances _@I1_to _%_Woodland _%_Estates._@J2_ _%_She s_@J2_tated concrete fines are not permanent, so at some point the homeowners will be asked to rebuild that road.

With regard to public participation, no one else in the audience spoke in support or in opposition to Item #28, and public input was closed.

Speaker Request Form was received and filed.

Commissioner Carey submitted ex parte communications (received and filed).

Commissioner _%_Dallari stated he has had discussions with _%_Mr. _%_Madden in the past regarding elevation. He asked _%_Mr. _%_Madden how that will all work out because they have had some issues with it. _%_Mr. _%_Madden answered as far as the fill on the site that _%_Ms. _%_Carey referred to, they are at a zoning stage so they haven't done final engineering plans yet. _%_He explained there is a possibility of some fill on the lots, which is normal in an area where you have high groundwater. _%_Commissioner _%_Dallari clarified they have had issues in some locations where the sheet flow of the yards north to south and east to west didn't actually happen because the elevation changed. _%_He asked how that would be addressed during construction. _%_Mr. _%_Madden _A1_answered in this particular situation as far as the drainage goes,_B;1__B<1__B=1__B>1__B?1__B@1__BA2__BC1__BD2_ they are _BF3_pretty much surrounded _BI2__BK1__BL1_on the _BM1_east _BN1_by _BO1_wet_BP1_lands_BQ1_._BR1__BS1__BT1__BU1_ _%_Other _BV1_than _BW1_where they _BX1_have _BY1_tie_BZ1_-in _B[1_slopes _B\1_where they _B]1_have _B^1_to _B_1_tie _B`1_back _Ba1_to _Bb2_existing _Bd1_grade_Be1_, wherever _Bf1_the _Bg1_fill _Bh1_is, _Bi1_everything _Bj1_else _Bk2_goes _Bm1_to the _Bn1_retention pond_Bo1__Bp1__Bq1_ so _Br2_that it_Bt2__Bv1_ is treated before _Bw1_it discharges into the wetland system. As _B1_far _B1_as _B1_any _B1_f_B1_ill _B1__B1_where the _B1_tie_B1_-in _B1_slopes _B1_are_B1_, _B1__B1_if you _B1_look _B1_at _B1_the_B1_ cross _B1_section_B1__B1__B2__B1__B2__B1__B1_, there are supposed to be swells on both sides of the dirt road. _%_Over the years as they have maintained that road, dirt just gets pushed around so there are areas where the ditch is blocked r_B1__B1_ight now and _B2_they are _B1_going _B1_to _B1_clean _B1__B1_that _B1_up_B1_. _%_He noted that is one of the things that the neighbors down _B1_on _B1__#_Fawn _B1__#_Run _B2_had asked _B1_them _B1_to do_B1_,_B1_ and several _B1_of _B1_them _B1_were _B1_present _B1__B1_for the _B2__B1_P_B1_&_B1_Z hearing _B1_and were supportive.

Commissioner _%_Ca_B1__B3__B1_rey asked w_C51_ho would maintain that section of the road. _C51__%_Mr. _%_Madden _C61_responded the land_C71_ is actually a separate parcel of land with an easement that goes through it. _#_If you look at the maps, _C81__C91__C:2__C<1__C=1__C>1__C?1__C@1__CA1__CB1__CC1__CD1__CE2__CG2__CI1__CJ1__CK1__CL1__CM1__CN1__CO1__CP1__CQ1__CR1__CS1__CT1__CU1__CV1__CW1__CX1__CY2__C[1__C\1__C]2__C_1__C`1__Ca1__Cb1__Cc1__Cd1__Ce1__Cf1__Cg1__Ch2__Cj1__Ck1__Cl1__Cm1__Cn1__Co2__Cq1__Cr1__Cs2__Cu1__Cv1__Cw1__Cx1__Cy2__C{1__C|2__C~1__C1__C1__C1__C1__C1__C1__C1__C1__C1__C1__C1__C1__C1__C1__C1__C2__C2_there_C1__C 1_ are places _C1_where _C1_one _C1_land_C1_own_C1_er _C1_will _C1_own _C1_half _C1_of _C1_t_C1__C1_he easement, _C1_so a _C1_lot _C1_of _C1_these _C1_land_C1_o_C1__C1_wners own _C1_the_C1_ whole _C2_70_C1_ feet and _C1_the _C2_others _C1_just _C1_have _C1_rights _C1_to the _C2_easement_C1_. _C1__#__C2_There_C2_'s probably 50 owners of the actual fee-simple land where the _%_Fawn _%_Run easemen_C2_t is. _%_Mr. _%_Madden explained_%_ _C1_one _C1_of the _C2_things _C1_that _C1_they _C1_tr_C1_ied to do_C1__C1__C1__C1_ is quit claim the residents the land, improve it and then give it back to the residents; and that would work_C1_ _D<1_great _D=1_if _D>1_they _D?1_had _D@1_a_DA1_ mandatory H_DB1_O_DC1_A _DD1__DE1__DF1__DG1__DH1__DI1__DJ1__DK1__DL1_that _DM1_they _DN1_could _DO1_have _DP1_just _DQ2_taken _DS1_the_DT1_ land _DU1_and _DV1_now _DW1_it _DX1_becomes _DY1_part _DZ1_of _D[1_their _D\1_road _D]1_tract_D^1_. _D_4_Unfortunately _Dc2_there_De1_ are 50 _Df2_different_Dh1__Di1__Dj1_ owners of the _Dk1_road _Dl1_tract _Dm1_and _Dn1_nobody _Do1_was _Dp1_will_Dq1_ing _Dr1_to take _Ds1_the _Dt1_land_Du1__Dv1__Dw1__Dx1__Dy1__Dz2__D|1__D}1__D~1__D2__D1__D1_.

Commissioner _%_Carey asked if the proposal is that they are going_%__D1__D1__D1__D1_ to stabilize it, clean it up, build the structure and that it's a gift to the voluntary _%_HOA, or is it that they are going to stabilize it, clean it up, build the entrance feature, and the new _%_HOA is going to be responsible for maintaining that portion of the easement.

_%_Commissioner _%_Dallari stated in looking at the densities, it is below the density that is around that area;_F1_ it is compatible for _%_LDR; the road issue has been cleared up; and the _%_HOA is committing to _%_Mr. _%_Madden to maintain that road.

Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to adopt Ordinance #2017-33 enacting a Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to PD (Planned Development); and approve the associated Development Order and Master Development Plan for a 32-lot, single-family residential subdivision on approximately 21.61 acres, located on the east side of Old Lockwood Road, approximately 300 feet north of Brickell Place, as described in the proof of publication; Raymond Harrison, Applicant.

MAJOR AMENDMENT AND REZONE/George Huddleston

 

Agenda Item #30 PH-2017-0243

Proof of publication calling for a public hearing to consider a Rezone from PD (Planned Development) to PD (Planned Development), on 28.34 acres, for a free-standing emergency room (FSER) and other various uses; located on the east side of International Parkway, one-half mile south of W. SR 46, received and filed.

Joy Giles, Planning & Development, addressed the Board and reviewed the Item as outlined in the Agenda Memorandum. She pointed out the Planning & Zoning Commission met on August 2 and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request with two modifications. The first is to modify the Development Order to include the following condition of approval as requested by the Applicant: construction of Phase 1 (including a maximum 20,000 square foot FSER and a master stormwater system) shall constitute substantial development for the Planned Development. The second modification to the Development Order is to include the following condition of approval as requested by citizen Blaine Darrah: if in the event that Phase 2 of the development proposal does not include a hospital, this would constitute a substantial change to the overall intent of the Planned Development and would require a PD Major Amendment to be approved by the Board. Ms. Giles stated these modifications have not been incorporated into the Development Order that staff has brought forward today. Staff recommends the Board approve this item.

Randy Morris, RM Strategies, Inc., addressed the Board and noted he represents the Applicant. Mr. Morris stated working with the community has been outstanding.

George Huddleston, Principal Engineer for S&ME, Inc., a_N2_ddressed the _%_Board and stated _N1__N1__N1__N1__N2__N1__N1__N2_per the community meeting _N2__N1__N1_held _N1_on the _N1_18th, _N1_there _N1_were _N1_three _N2_major _N1_take_N1_a_N2_ways _N1_that were driving community concern and it was _N2_largely _N1_to do _N1_with _N4_buffering _N1_of the _N1_development _N1_and _N1_specif_N1_ically the _N3__N1__N1_location _N1_of the _N1__%_FSER_N2__N1__N1__N1_ and the _N1_helipad_N1__N1_. _%_Mr. _%_Huddleston explained _"_in the _N1_in_N1_itial _N1_concept plans that were drafted, the hospital was _N2_tucked _O"1_more _O#1_to the _O$1_north_O%1_ern _O&1_corn_O'1_er _O(1_of the _O)1_site; _O*1_and _O+1_it left _O,1_the_O-1_ emergency room _O11_along _O21_the_O31_ west_O41_ern _O51_portion _O61_of the _O71_site, _O81_right along _%_International _%_Parkway. _%_The helipads are always directly adjacent to the emergency room,_OB1_ _OC1_so _OD1_it _OE1__OE1_left _OF1_the _OG2_helipad _OI1_very _OJ3_prominently _OM1_located on _ON1__%_International _%_Parkway. _%_They went back to the _OO1__OP1__OQ1__OR1__OS2__OU1__OV2__OX1__OY1__OZ1_drawing board, relocated the building completely, mirrored i_O[1_t and put _O\1_it _O]1_in the _O^2_southeastern_O`1_ _Oa1_portion _Ob1_of the _Oc1_site_Od1_, _Oe1__Of1_which is the_Og1_ _Oh1_site _Oi1_plan _Oj1__Ok1_in front _Ol1_of _Om1__On1_the _%_Board_%_. _Oo1__%_He stated the _"_main _Op1_reason _Oq1_in _Or1_doing _Os1_that _Ot1_is _Ou1_to _Ov1_get _Ow1_the_Ox1_ _%_FSER_Oy2__O{1__O|1_ _O}1_and _O~2_the helipad_O1__O2_ as tucked _O1_a_O1_way _O1_as _O1_they _O1_could_O1_. _O1__%_He pointed out the _O1__O1__O1__O1__O1__O1__O1__O1__O1__O1__O1__O2__O1_restricted zone _O1_on the _%_Master _%_Development _%_Plan slide that _O1__O2_they have committed _O1_to through the _O1__%_Master _%_Development _%_Plan and through the _%_Development _%_Order as the _%__O3_restricted _O1_area _O1_for the _O1_location _O3_of the _O1__%_FSER_O2_ and the _%_helipad.

_O1_ _%_Mr. _%_Huddleston reviewed _%_Requested _%_Zoning-PD_O1__O3__O1__O1__O1_. _%_He referred again to the _%_Master _%_Development _%_Plan slide and stated they are trying to put the _%_FSER _%_in the most isolated portion of the site. _%_He explained the helicopter operations will largely use _%_I-4 as their primary approach corridor, so this locates the helipad in that corner of the site really trying to minimize any disturbance to neighbors in the vicinity. _%_One other thing he pointed out on the _%_site plan is that once they plant the flag for the FS_%_ER, they are also dictating where the hospital would sit and that's the outline extending a little bit beyond the _%_FSER outline. _#_The northern portion of the property would be used largely for surface parking, potentially some of those ancillary uses like a medical office building or something of the sort, but the largest, highest intensity component of this project would be in the south_P"1_eastern corner of the site.

In regard to _%_the _%_FSER restriction zone, _%_Mr. _%_Huddleston stated it is a 260-foot setback from _%_International _%_Parkway and they have already submitted final engineering plans for staff's review. _%_The location of the _%_FSER would be about 370 feet from _%_International _#_Parkway_Q51_; and _Q61_whe_Q72_n looking _Q91_at _Q:1_the_Q;3_ Savannah _Q>1__%_Park _Q?1_town_Q@2_homes _QB1_across _QC1_the_QD1_ street_QE2_, it's _QG1_almost _QH4_650_QL1_ feet of _QM2_separation _QO1_between _QP1_the _QQ2_uses_QS1_.

Mr. _%_Morris stated he concurs with s_%_taff's recommendation with the two changes. _%_They have discussed it with staff and also thoroughly at the _%_P&Z meeting_%_meeting. _%_He asked the _%_Board to put the two changes in their motion for incorporation into the _%_Development _%_Or_Q1_der. _%_H_Q1_e explained the changes came out of discussions with _%_Heathrow representatives and their _%_Board of _%_Directors, and also _%_Lake _%_Forest and their _%_Board of _%_Directors. _%_M_Q1_r. _%_Morris discussed the local emergency rooms and stated _Q1_there _Q1_are _Q2_currently _Q1__Q1__Q1__Q1_two emergency rooms_%_emergency room in the area, and this _Q1_would _Q1_be_Q1_ the third_Q1_. _%_However, the _Q2_issue _Q1_be_Q1_came_R!1_ _R31_would _R41_the_R51_ hospital _R61_get _R71_buil_R81_t. _#__R91_H_R:1_C_R;1_A _R<1_is _R=1_not _R>1_a _R?2_developer _RA1_of _RB1_general _RC1_development_RD1_, they _RE1_are _RF1_a developer of _RG1_hospital _RH1_prop_RI1_ert_RJ1_ies _RK1_and _RL1_they _RM1_are _RN2_looking _RP1_at _RQ1_a _RR2_campus _RT1_here_RU1_. _%_M_R1_r. _%_Morris explained there are two _R2_phases_R1__R1_. _R1_The _R1_first _R1_phase _R1_is the FS_R1_E_R1_R _R1_that is _R3__R1_before the _%_Board today_R2__R3__R1_; up _R1_to _R1_2_R1_0,000 square _R1_feet_R1_ with 11,000 square feet constructed soon_R2_. _R1__R2__R1__R1__#_That _R1_could _R1_be _R1_ex_R2_panded _R1_to _R2_20,000 _R1_square _R1_feet _R3_within P_#_phase 1_R1__R1__R1_, and they are asking for approval of that. _%_Phase 2 would include the additional uses for the property. _R1__R1__R1__R1__R1__R1__R1__R1__R1__R2__R1__R2__R1__R1__R1__R1__R1_If _R1__R1_a _R1_hospital _R1_is _R1_not _R1_brought _R1_back _R1_in P_R1__#_pphase 2 _R1_and _R2_addition_R1_al _R1_development _R1_is_R1_, then this _R1_would _R1__R1__R1__R1_go back through a p_#_public h_#_hhearing cycle as _R1_a _R1_site _R1_plan _R1_change _R1_in essence. _#__R2_It's _R1_a _R1_concurrent commitment_#_ in advance.

Mr. _%_Morris stated if a property isn't developed in eight years, it has the potential to lose its zoning if there is_%_ no activity. _SJ1_ _%_He had previously _SK1_ask_SL1_ed _SM1_staff_SN1_, and _SO1_they _SP3_opined_SS1_ that the_SY1_ FS_%_E_SZ1__S[2_R facility _S]1_is _S^1_a _S_1_substantial _S`1__Sa1_start_Sb1_ of _Sc1_the _Sd2_project_Sf1__Sg1_. _%_He pointed out t_Sg1_here has never been a project in the county that has had any type of development occur where their zoning was taken away.

Mr. _%_Morris explained _"_this _S1_is _S1_a _S2_purchase _S1_of _S1_$10 _S1_million _S1_for the _S3_Rockefeller _S1__S1_property_S1__S1__S3__S1__S1__S1_, and _S1_then _S1__S1_$12 million for the FS_%_ER they are _S2_building_S2_. _%_He asked the _%_Board to declare that substantial s_S1_o that there will not be any question in the future about the zoning and the ability to _T21_hold _T31_the _T42_zoning _T61_that _T71_the _%_Board may approve_T81__T91__T:2__T<1__T=1_ today_T>1_. _T?1__%_He n_T?1_oted _TR1_it _TS1_took _TT1_20 _TU1_years _TV1_to _TW1_get _TX1_a _TY1_hospital _TZ1_in _T[3__#_Oviedo_T^1__T_1__T`1__Ta1__Tb1__Tc1__Td1__Te1__Tf1_. _Tg1__%_T_Tg1_hey _Th1_know _Ti2_how long _Tk1_the_Tl1_ process takes. _Tm2__To1__Tp1__%_The issue here is that _Tq1_to b_Tq1_uild a hospital,_Tz1_ _T{1_you _T|1_have _T}1_to have a _T~1__%_Certificate of _%_Need (C_T1_O_T1_N_T1_). _#_The _T1_current _T2_facility _T1_at _%_Central _%_Florida _%_Hospital in _%_Sanford has one now. _%_ _%_T_T1_hey may transfer or expand_T1__T1_; but what_T1_ever _T1_they _T1_do_T1_, they have to get approval from _%_Tallahassee. _%_But before they do that, they are going to have to raise the funds, show the need, and figure out all of the aspects of what they are doing with the current facility versus the new facility. _%_So for those reasons, they are saying under no conditions can they guarantee the community or the _%_Board that in eight years the hospital will come to fruition. _%_He stated that is the purpose of the _%_D.O. request and that is the reason they are asking for the specific language_T1_.

Mr. _%_Morris reviewed Project Rezoning Timeline. In regard to I_"_IItem _%_S in the _%_Development _%_Order which _%_refers to off-street parking, _%_Mr. _%_Morris explained that parking requirement could theoretically occur_V?1_ on _%_Wilson _%_Road. _%_He_%_ confirmed they will not have parked cars on _%_International _#_Parkway. _V1_ _%_In regard to Item _%_T which refers to _%_LYNX, _%_Mr. _%_Morris stated at _V1_some _V2_future _V1_point _V2_they will _V1_look _V 1_to _V1_connectivity with _%_LYNX_V1__V1__V1_ and _%_SunRail. _#_This _V1_would be _V1__V1_in the _V1_future_V1_ _V1_when P_#_pphase 2_V1__V1__V1__V1__V1__V1_ would come forward.

Luisa _%_Ruiz, 780 _%_Whooping _%_Crane _%_Court, addressed the _%_Board and stated she _%_lives west of _%_I-4 _%_and fully _%_supports an FS_%_ER that is two or three minutes from her house because it really does _\1_make _\1_a _\2_difference_\1_. _%__%_Ms. _%_Ruiz discussed family members and residents_%_ in her community who h_\1_ave used emergency room_%_emergency _\1__\1__\2__\1__\1__\1__\1__\1__\1__\1__\1__]!1__]"1__]#1__]$1__]%1__]&2__](1__])1__]*1__]+1__],1__]-3__]01__]11__]21__]31__]42__]61__]71__]81__]91__]:1__];1__]<1__]=1__]>1__]?1__]@1__]A1__]B2__]D3__]G1__]H1__]I1__]J1__]K1__]L1__]M1__]N2__]P1__]Q1__]R3__]U2__]W1__]X1__]Y1__]Z2__]\1__]]1__]^1__]_1__]`1__]a1__]b2__]d3__]g1__]h1__]i3__]l2__]n2__]p1__]q1__]r1__]s1__]t1__]u1__]v1__]w1__]x1__]y2__]{1__]|1__]}1__]~1__]1__]1__]1__]1__]2__]1__]1__]2__]1__]1__]1__]1__]2__]2__]1__]1__]1__]1__]1__]1__]1__]1__]1__]1__]1__]1__]2__]1__] 1__]3__]2__]1__]1__]1__]1__]1__]1_ services. _%_One of the problems s_]1_he sees with emergency rooms is_%_er that they _]1_are hard to get to due to traffic. _%_They are only_%_ 20 to 30 minutes away but she can assure everyone that that is too late. _%_Minutes are _]1_what _]2_makes _]1_a _]2_difference _]1_in _]1_someone_]1_'s _]1_life_]1_. _%_She thanked the _%_Board for allowing her to discuss_%_ how it impacts her to have an emergency room two or three minutes from her house. _%_She wished for the _%_Board to approve this item.

George _%_Sellery, 5231 _%_Shoreline _%_Circle, _^d1__^z1_addressed the _%_Board_%_ and stated this is one of the few FS_%_ERs _%_he has ever seen that is on the backend of the property, meaning the hospital is going to go in front of it. _%_Most places would hedge their bets and put their emergency room_%_em right on _%_International _%_Parkway_%__%__%__%__%_. _%_This leads him to think they are seriously pursuing putting the hospital in, so therefore _%_he supports the language they've put forth. _%_He discussed how this is a great project in connection with economic development and high-end jobs. _%_Mr. _%_Sellery talked about ensuring tha_^z1_t the _%_International _%_Parkway corridor is at the same standard of development as it is from _%_CR _%_46A through _%_Lake _%_Mary to _%_Lake _%_Mary _%_Boulevard. _%_He mentioned_%_ _%_Savannah _%_Park, which morphed into apartments with metal carports right on _%_International _%_Parkway, _^z1_and how they h_^z1__%_ave now added buildings in front of that to within a few feet of the sidewalk. _%_He w_%_ants to make sure that when people are coming t_%_o look at this hospital, they don't turn the corner from _%_SR 46 onto _%_International and run by some other development that doesn't complement the rest of _%_International _%_Parkway.__91__`21__%__%_ _`1__%_Mr. _%_Sellery stated the_%_y_%__`1_ _`1_need _`1_to _`1_look _`1_at _`1_things _`1_that _`1__`2_invest_`1_ in _`1_that _`1_end _` 1_of _`1__#_Inter_`1_national _`1__#_Park_`1_way _`1_and ensure that _`3_the _`1_hospital _`2_project_`1_ is _`2_supported _`1_by _`1_other _`1_development_`1__`2__`1__`3__`1__`1__`1__`2__`1__`1__`1__`1__`1__`1__`1__`1__%__`1__`1__`1__`1__`1__`1__`1__`1__`1__`1__`1__%_.

_%_Mr. _%_Morris closed by informing the _%_Board that although _%_Mr. _%_Wilson did mention the initial communications issues and forwarding of documents,_%_ _%_he can assure the Board that in the last 60 days, _%_Mr. _%_Wilson has received every public document they have had and any submittal that they have had and they got it to him promptly and on time and _b1__b1_re_b2_viewed _b1_those documents with him. _%_He asked the _%_Board _b1__b1__b1_to _b2_approve _b1_as _b1_a_b2_mended _b1_the request and _b1__b1_thanked them _b1_for _b 1_their _b1_consideration_b1_.
