Awards and
Presentations
Chairman
McLain advised that at each meeting, the Board will have a representative of
each City come and tell what is going on in their City. He stated Mayor Russ Hauck of Altamonte
Springs is in attendance this morning.
Mayor
Hauck addressed the Board to state City Manager Phil Penland is also in
attendance with him. He expressed
appreciation for the opportunity to come before the Board and for the work the
County does for the City throughout the year.
He thanked the Commission for the recent proclamation he
received for his services on the Tourist
Development Council for the last couple years.
He said one of the exciting things that is happening that affects both
the City and County is the study of the possible consolidation of the fire
services. He thinks they are on track
for a study report in February. They
are prepared to move ahead if it looks like this makes sense. He discussed significant projects that have
been in gestation over the year including the City’s Center project; the Park
plans; SuperChannel 55 Building and Tower; the Gateway Center project;
Intelligent Transportation System Circulator project; and the SR 434 Corridor
widening.
Chairman
McLain advised he and Mayor Hauck will work together over the next several
months to come up with some solutions on mass transit.
Commissioner
Morris complimented Mayor Hauck, City Manager Penland, the City staff and
Commission on their smart growth building up rather than out and taking these
bold steps.
Commissioner
Henley said he thinks the willingness of Altamonte to explore the merger of
services is very important. The Board
should look at other areas where the citizens can benefit. He thinks consolidation of services makes
sense.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide entered the meeting room at this time.
Chairman
McLain stated he is looking forward to working with Mayor Hauck this year.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. McMillan answered questions regarding the
widening of Lake Emma Road. He advised
the Resolution of Necessity will come to the Board the first week of February
under the Engineering Agenda.
Motion
by Commissioner Henley, seconded by Commissioner Maloy, to approve and authorize
the following:
2. Approve payment for attorneys fees and costs previously incurred relating to Pastor Ronald O. Taylor Property, Parcel 156 of the East Lake Mary Boulevard Phase II road improvement project located at 3850 Bridges Road, Sanford, in the amount of $17,212.45. This parcel has been deleted from the road project which is currently being redesigned.
3. Approve and execute Purchase Agreement, as shown on page _______, relating to the Beck Property, Parcel Number 107 of the Airport Boulevard Phase II road improvement project located southwest of Airport Boulevard between CSX Railroad and Old Lake Mary Road, in the amount of $13,500.00 inclusive of attorney’s fees and costs.
4. Approve and execute Purchase Agreement, as
shown on page _______, relating to the Hewitt Property,
Parcel Numbers 107/707 of the Lake Emma Road improvement project, located at
1820 Lake Emma Road, in the amount of $20,000.00 with no attorney’s fees or
expert costs incurred.
Mr. McMillan stated at the last meeting the Board appointed Mr. “Red” McCullough and asked the County Attorney to look into the question of his contract with the County. He stated this is a conflict under the Statutes, but the Board can waive that. It might be to Mr. McCullough’s benefit to indicate they do not have a problem with the relationship.
Commissioner Maloy stated Mr. McCullough was his appointment, and Mr. McCullough brought up the issue himself. He said he doesn’t have a problem with him serving.
Mr. McMillan said Mr. McCullough would have to abstain on any vote to his benefit.
Commissioner Henley stated that appointment is a very specific task and has no other impact on anything.
Motion by Commissioner Maloy, seconded by Commissioner Morris, to ratify Mr. McCullough’s appointment with the Board’s full knowledge of the situation.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
-----
Mr.
McMillan stated some may have read that the Sales Tax Referendum charge has
been dismissed with prejudice by Judge Nelson.
He advised there was a motion for a rehearing filed by the attorney so
this case is not completely closed yet.
-----
Mr.
McMillan reported that the Fifth District Court has determined not to review
the County’s petition in the Callin case, where the Board authorized a
settlement of $50,000 and $25,000 for attorney fees. This issue can be raised later.
He said staff is now in discussion with the attorney.
-----
Mr.
McMillan further advised that Deputy County Attorney Stephen Lee’s main office
will be moved to the Reflections Building, due to the workload coming in the
acquisition area and for better coordination.
Mr. Lee will be managing that operation and will be at the County
Services Building when necessary.
Bobby Brantley, Legislative Consultant, addressed the Board to give an update on what’s going on in Tallahassee. He stated Jim Stelling was also in attendance. He said most of the big-ticket items for the County this year are water management projects. He has been working with Kirby Greene, replacement for Harry Dean, at the St. Johns River Water Management District. He believes Mr. Greene will do an excellent job for this area. Mr. Brantley said he is asking for $17 million from the St. Johns budget.
Mr. Brantley advised that if the County has any interest, for the first time this year, the Legislature has made available the program they are using for reapportionment called “FREDS.” He said there are a lot of good statistics about the County and cities in the County, and he encouraged the Commissioners to obtain a disk. He stated the Board may want to have staff look at this and as the lines are being considered, the Board may want to give some input into that.
Mr.
Brantley said that, basically, they are working with the County Association on
a lot of programs and trying to make sure the Legislature, in their continued
hunt for dollars, don’t decide to take away some of the revenue sources local
government have currently to make up for some of the State shortfall.
Commissioner
Morris stated the Florida Association of Counties Board of Directors, along
with the School Board Association, League of Cities and some others are taking
a leadership position and backing the Senate proposal to lower the sales tax
and broaden the base. He said in
December the FAC Board approved supporting that initiative and the tax is being
set up. He said this is not something
that the BCC has supported. He is the
Co-Chairman of the Legislative Committee, but he would not be attending the
meetings where this item is being discussed.
Mr. Grace advised of typographical error to
Item #25, correcting the year to “2000-2001” CDBG Interlocal Agreement between
Seminole County and the City of Casselberry.
Commissioners
Maloy questioned what is the designing for and the total cost regarding Item
#19, Design of the Osceola Road Landfill Operations and Maintenance Building
Project. Mr. Grace answered this is to
design the Maintenance Facility and Operations Building at approximately
$600,000 and a truck wash facility for a total of approximately $680,000. Commissioner Henley asked to know how much
the additional expenses would be.
David
Gregory, Solid Waste Manager, addressed the Board to answer his intention is
that the entire scope of work would come in under $150,000.
Carol
Hunter, Project Manager for the project, addressed the Board to state the added
expenses would be for additional equipment.
Whereupon, Commissioner Henley named the equipment identified and asked
if that would fall within the budget.
Mr.
Gregory stated the intent is get as much as possible within the budget. He explained they are looking to ask for bid
alternates during construction. If they
can’t get something within the design elements of the building, they would come
back to the Board for approval. If they
can’t afford something or don’t need the equipment, they would not intend to
include it.
Upon
further inquiry by Chairman McLain, Ms. Hunter said the County is not paying
any premium for the flexibility in the design of the building.
Commissioner
Maloy stated his main concern is that the building is functional.
Commissioner
Maloy asked if the alignment for Lake Drive had been worked out, referring to
Item #20, Award of RFP-4129-01/BJC, Right-of-Way Acquisition Services for Lake
Drive Road Improvement. Mr. Grace
stated the Board approved the alignment several years ago. At that time, there was representation that
the Dog Track property that was necessary for the alignment would be donated.
Mr. McMillan advised County staff is
in negotiations with one of the property owners of the Dog Track parcel to see
if that can be worked out. He advised a
joint meeting is being scheduled in February with Engineering on a potential
agreement and alternatives the Board would have.
Commissioner
Morris stated he thinks the property owners should understand that the Board
will not spend any more taxpayer money than what they originally agreed
to. He said he questions the value of
the road and doesn’t believe it is a benefit to the County.
Mr.
McMillan explained that the owner of the property was never contacted
Commissioner
Morris said he thinks the Board should be briefed. He asked what is this road really going to do and why would they
pay extra at all. Mr. Grace stated this
was a road project in the original Sales Tax Program and if they are going to
do away with it, he thinks everyone needs to understand what is going on. Commissioner Morris said to let the property
owners understand the implication of what they are doing. He suggested they pull this item from the
agenda and allow staff to bring it back.
He further suggested the Board not spend another dollar on this, but
staff time can be spent. Staff should
let the property owners understand this project is not moving forward because
of an impasse due to money.
Under
further discussion Mr. McMillan advised Commissioner Maloy that staff had
looked at an alternate alignment, but certain portions of the road would still
need to be acquired before deciding which way it would go.
Motion
by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Maloy, to pull Item #20
from the Agenda and it will not come back until staff has a formal
recommendation.
Under discussion, Commissioner Maloy
expressed this has been going on for five years and that is way too long and
the whole thing is very frustrating.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he can
remember the time of the public hearing and he is afraid, if this isn’t worked
out, the Board is liable to hear from the other side and they will be in a real
“knock down, drag out war.” Staff can
study every ramification brought out and come back and brief the Commissioners
because Commissioner Morris has a very good point on one hand, but he remembers
all the ramifications they went through to come up with the alignment.
Chairman
McLain said he thinks staff can get all the Commissioners briefed and come back
with an action plan by next month.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
-----
Commissioner Henley questioned staff about
Item #22, Authorize Proprietary Source Procurement and authorize the issuance
of a Purchase Order for Motorola Micor Satellite Receivers.
Greg Holcomb, Telecommunications
Manager, addressed the Board to state in this budget they were to upgrade the
systems to the current technology. They
will fund the three sites for 15 receivers this year and fund next year for
replacements. Discussion ensued on the
800 MHz system, which Mr. Grace said needs to be replaced because if something
goes down, the parts are not being made anymore. He advised the cost to replace the entire system is about $4
million. He and staff are working to
come up with a funding solution and will try to brief the Board around February
or March.
Commissioner Henley stated he would
like to see an annual report of all the lost and missing equipment so the Board
has an idea of what they are facing.
Commissioner Maloy asked if the
Board could have some visuals before the public hearings for Items #27, SR 467
Scenic Corridor Overlay Outdoor Lighting Standards Ordinance, and #28, Wekiva
River Protection Area Environmental Design Standards Ordinance, so the Board
can see what they are talking about.
Mr. Grace said he thinks this can be done before that time.

Chairman
McLain recessed the meeting at 10:35 a.m. and reconvened at 10:50 a.m.
Meloney
Lung, Support Services Manager, addressed the Board to request direction on the
disposition of the Florida Power & Light Building. She reviewed the four options identified
by staff. She reported that the School
Board had no interest in the building.
She said she has spoken with Larry Dale at the Orlando-Sanford Airport
and he indicated that currently the Airport does not own the property but
expects to close within the next 10 days.
She said staff is recommending Option #2 to reject all bids and exchange
the FP&L Building for a long-term (99 years) lease with Orlando-Sanford
Airport Authority in exchange for property to house a Public Works materials
storage yard.
Commissioner Maloy discussed with Ms. Lung
if modifications would need to be made to the Airport property, if it is big
enough, and the access to the property.
Chairman McLain asked what would the County need to do to make the
roadway accessible.
Ira Burrows, Road Operations and
Stormwater, addressed the Board to state he looked at the site on Friday and
understand that Moore’s Station will need some minor work, but Richmond and
Cameron roads are in much better condition.
He said if the Board approves Option 2 and FAA approval is granted,
there would be a phase-up program with Public Works. The wetlands would also have to be delineated. This phase-in would tie in closely with the
construction process of the new extension of Silver Lake Drive, and he thinks
that would help with the transportation issues.
Commissioner Van Der Weide discussed with
Mr. Grace the kind of approvals that would be needed. Mr. McMillan also stated a land swap resolution would have to
come back to the Board and be advertised.
Commissioner Van Der Weide questioned what
are the benefits of a lease over giving away the building, and what are the
ramifications of each. Mr. McMillan
stated he had not seen the terms of the lease, but that option is what was
presented to the County.
Tony VanDerworp, Sanford City Manager,
addressed the Board to state the property is in the City’s master plan as
multiple-family residential. The City
owns a parcel to the north of the building and in order to build condominium
type projects, they would also need the FP&L property to make it
viable. He explained that the City
would demolish the building and make the property available for private
development. He advised the City is
interested in getting the property on the tax rolls. The City Commission gave him direction on December 10, 2001 to
proceed to work out a swap to get the property; and the Orlando-Sanford Airport
Authority gave authorization to proceed with negotiations on December 4, 2001.
Upon request by Commissioner Henley, Kevin
Spolski addressed the Board to state his plans for the property was to demolish
the FP&L building and construct a first-class office structure.
Commissioner Morris stated the issue is
what is the best value for the County.
He doesn’t agree with the fundamental proposition that the property was
bought for $290,000 in 1994 and now in 2002 the property is being sold for
$69,000. He said the County taxpayers
would be ill served by this occurring.
He thinks there are a lot of reasons for devaluation, but not to this
extent. This is basically lakefront
land and would be a very valuable commercial section. He stated Mr. Spolski raised some very good questions in his
letter to him on January 4, 2002 (copy received and filed).
Commissioner Morris suggested taking a
60-day period to see what the full ramifications are of the questions raised by
the Commissioners about the potential exchange with the City of Sanford and, if
Mr. Spolski would stay in abeyance during that time, the County could see what
the proposition by the City of Sanford would look like and see if FAA approval
could be obtained. He discussed that if
Mr. Spolski tears the building down, he would have more associated costs than
if the County did that. Discussion
ensued regarding the demolition of the building and removal of asbestos.
Chairman McLain said maybe the thing to do
is to consider moving forward with tearing the building down and get some
answers from the City of Sanford and Airport on the lease, and ask if Mr.
Spolski is interested in leaving his offer on the table until this is
accomplished. Whereupon, Mr. Grace said
if the County does that, this would take away some of the value of the swap
with the City of Sanford. However,
Chairman McLain said the City could reimburse the County for the cost of
demolishing the building.
Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide,
seconded by Commissioner Henley, to proceed with Chairman McLain’s
recommendation.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated one of
the things for staff to report on is what would be the County’s cost to use the
landfill compared to Mr. Spolski’s figures.
Commissioner Morris said if they give this
a 60-day horizon, that would mean coming back at the first meeting in March for
a formal adoption, if they move forward with the City of Sanford, or they would
have a review of the Spolski proposal.
Staff should have a waiver on the landfill issue by that time.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Ian Ratliff, Development Review,
addressed the Board to request approval of the list of projects eligible for funding
through the Florida Gas Transmission Line Tree Replacement Funds. The list of proposed projects compiled by
staff was received and filed. Mr.
Ratliff said he received some revised information since the agenda preparation,
which shows a different estimated cost for the Kewannee Park and Trails exotic
tree removal, and two new trail projects were added. Further, he advised several of the projects are based on
preliminary estimates, which, if actually funded, the actual construction cost
may be slightly higher or lower. He
asked for Board direction on which projects to fund. Mr. Ratliff reviewed the changes.
Commissioner
Henley questioned that the use of funds is limited to the purchase and
installation of trees. He asked how
could signage be done under that.
Development
Review Manager, Mahmoud Najda, distributed copies of the revised list of
proposed projects (copy received and filed).
Upon
review, Commissioner Morris said the list is dramatically changed. He doesn’t think any of the money should go
to the Markham Regional Water Plant, as he thinks this would be an
inappropriate use. He recommended
taking the suggested funding of $58,635 and apply the reserve funds to the Crossings
and Rinehart Trail, then he thinks there would be enough money to landscape the
long corridor that is barren.
Commissioner
Maloy said his thinking was that since the funds came from a utility-related
item being put in that destroyed trees, the money should be applied to areas
where utilities have destroyed other things and benefited. He said that is a very desolate area where
the power lines are going in. It does
bother him to see installing signs on the list of projects. He was looking at some of the more desolate
areas of the County to be on the list.
He said the Oviedo Site Storage just outside of Oviedo is hideous.
Motion
by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Henley, that the Geneva
Wilderness, Chuluota Wilderness, and Markham Regional Plant funds be put into
the Reserve Fund and that fund, to what extent it needs to, would cover the
entire length of the Crossings and Rinehart Cross Seminole Trail portion and
cover the Oviedo Site Storage.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
County Manager’s Briefing
Jamie
Croteau, Administrative Services Director,
addressed the Board to give an update on the Courthouse.
She introduced John Cunningham, HCI, and Matt Clear from HKS, who were
in attendance. She stated HCI and HKS
have had numerous meetings with the future Courthouse occupants and County
staff. They have developed a schematic
design package (and delivered that to the County) including the master site
plan for the future buildout of the vacant property at Five Points, a site plan
for the new Criminal Justice Facility, and suggested elevation for the new
facility. She advised that Mr.
Cunningham and Mr. Clear are in the process of completing an estimate and it
should be done by the end of January.
John Cunningham addressed the Board to show
and explain the schematic design plans submitted (copies received and filed).
Commissioner Morris asked to see how the
back of the building would look. He
discussed the yellow color of the building.
Ms. Croteau advised that a final selection has not been made of the
materials that would be used. That will
be done during the design development process.
She said staff would be happy to take input from the Board on that.
Chairman McLain said they need to get the
rest of the elevations and site line so they can see what kind of impact that
will have on the Community College and take that into consideration.
Ms. Croteau said the decision on the colors
would be made in about 30 to 60 days.
Mr. Cunningham said yellow is not the
actual color, but they are trying to create less formality in the formal
organization.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he thinks
the building design is beautiful. He
shares the concern of Commissioner Morris relative to the visibility of the
college campus. He said they may have
to readdress this after they see the line of sight. He noted that the tower needs to be presentable as it will be
seen from the College front and back.
Mr. Cunningham stated they will come back
with site line drawings.
-------
Colleen Rotella, Planning, addressed
the Board to request
Board direction relative to the Natural Lands
Program Status and Prioritization of Remaining Funding regarding (1)
Continuation of negotiations and/or reallocation of funds from the 1990 Bond
Referendum; and (2) Board consideration of new sites recommended by the Natural
Lands Committee for the 2000 Bond Referendum.
The Briefing Booklet was received and filed. Ms. Rotella also distributed a Program Summary sheet, which was
received and filed.
Upon
inquiry by Chairman McLain, Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he still has
interest in the Wekiva Marina, but he doesn’t think they can continue to hold
that funding hostage. He doesn’t see
any flexibility at this point with the owners.
He said he is willing to reallocate the full amount and still express
interest in the Marina in the future.
Chairman
McLain stated the consensus of the Board is to remove the funding of
$1,500,000 for the Wekiva Marina.
Ms.
Rotella stated the staff recommendation for the Flagler Trailhead is, if they
maintain the funding, to define it for a period of time. Whereupon, Chairman McLain suggested giving
the owners 60 days to make a decision and then reallocate the money. Commissioner Morris concurred. The Board had no objections.
Regarding
Spring Hammock, Ms. Rotella said staff is at an impasse with the owners
relative to price, and she is requesting that if the County holds onto the
funding or continues the negotiations, the Board give direction to staff for
the owners that they have a defined period of time. Whereupon, Commissioner Morris stated to give the owners 60 days
and bring this back to the Board. The
Board had no objections.
Ms.
Rotella conveyed the request of the Natural Lands Committee for staff to
recommend to the Board that if any funds are reallocated, those funds go back
to future properties. The Board had no
comments.
Ms.
Rotella stated staff is in the process of negotiating for the Pineloch/Caruso
project. Staff will apprise the Board
within the next 30 to 60 days as to the appraised values. She said she will report back to the Board
on the allocation as staff is not prepared for the Board to give direction at
this time.
Commissioner
Morris gave comments on the Yeager/Jetta Point, stating the land potentially
has three purposes--for preservation land, a good recreational use, and a
commercial frontage which the City of Winter Springs has asked the County to
keep on the tax rolls. Also, one house
on the property has good value.
Commissioner
Maloy discussed with Commissioner Morris the letter from Winter Springs where
the City indicated they were not interested in partnering on this project
because of the tax issues. Commissioner
Morris said he thinks the County would want to bring in the City on the
maintenance and associated costs of the property. Commissioner Maloy said he thinks they should go back to Winter
Springs with an alternative idea and still look at the property for a possible
joint acquisition. However,
Commissioner Morris said he doesn’t think there could be a joint acquisition
because he thinks the City is over tapped, but maintenance is a possibility.
Chairman
McLain asked Commissioner Morris to work with the staff and pursue this for the
Board and report back.
Commissioner
Morris said he does think staff should be authorized to move forward. He commented on the return value to the
County and said this is prime land.
Commissioner Van Der Weide said the Board could determine the design standards
for the commercial. Commissioner Henley
said he would support the project with the concept of making up the cost of the
land with the uses, and there is return potential with the commercial.
Chairman
McLain stated that, with no objections, staff will move forward with
this concept and Commissioner Morris will report back to the Board.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Maloy, Commissioner Morris stated they would have to
buy with Natural Lands funds those portions that will be used for natural lands
and use other sources of revenue for the other portions of the property.
Chairman
McLain stated that the amount under Future Sites will now be $2.5 million.
The
Board had no other questions or comments.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Commissioner Maloy advised he is unable to attend the Wastewater Transmission Authority meetings because they are held on Thursdays. He said he knows there was a back-up staff person attending on his behalf.
Mr. Grace stated he will check on the back-up person to make sure someone is attending.
Chairman McLain stated he will work with Commission Maloy regarding this liaison appointment.
-------
Commissioner
Henley reported that Seminole Vision has received notice of approval for their
501C(3) status.
-------
The
Board, thereupon, recessed at 2:10 p.m., reconvening at 7:02 p.m., this same
date, with all Commissioners (with Commissioner Morris being absent) and all
other Officials, with the exception of Deputy Clerk Sandy McCann, who was
replaced by Deputy Clerk Eva Roach, who were present at the Opening Session.
Continuation of a public hearing to
consider the Typical Section and Alignment for the design of Sand Lake Road
from Hunt Club Blvd. to SR 434, as described in the proof of publication.
Jerry
McCollum, County Engineer, addressed the Board to briefly review the proposed
request. He introduced Mike Mauller,
Professional Engineering Consultants.
Mike
Mauller, Professional Engineering Consultants, addressed the Board to display
slides of the proposed typical section.
He reviewed the following: The
Overview; Why Study Sand Lake Road; Evaluation Process; Preliminary Study and
Recommended Improvements. He stated the
three main items of the Evaluation Process is Capacity, Traffic Operations and
Safety. He added from that evaluation
process came study alternatives. He
reviewed two segments of the project and the recommended improvements. He
advised they recommend a four lane typical section with a raised median that
would provide a 16-foot raised landscaped median, two 12-foot travel lanes in
each direction, bike lanes, a five-foot sidewalk on the north, and an
eight-foot sidewalk on the south.
Discussion
ensued between Mr. Mauller, Mr. McCollum and the Board relative to the existing
and projected traffic volume; the level of service; if other lanes are going to
be adjusted; the impact on Segment 1 and Segment 2, and how the County is
dealing with the additional stormwater runoff.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated this will affect a tremendous amount of neighbors and he
would be against taking out three homes for the retention ponds. He stated he believes the County can work
something out with the School Board.
Clinton
Tighe, 2260 Classic Ct., President of the Brantley Cove Homeowners Association,
addressed the Board to state the concern he has in Brantley Cove is the
entrance and the exit out of Classic Drive.
He stated he would like to know if the residents of Classic Drive would
be allowed to turn east and whether coming east, residents could turn onto
Classic Drive.
Mr.
McCollum stated this is the area staff has told the School Board that they will
work with them. He stated when the
issue of access on the western end of the elementary school property is
resolved with the School Board, that median will be opened up and there will be
full access.
Glenda
Donovan, 208 Camden Road, addressed the Board to state she lives in Bonaventure
Heights Subdivision and it is located on the south side of Sand Lake Road. She stated her subdivision has septic tanks
and well water. She said she would like
assurance from the County that their well water will not be contaminated. She added when her subdivision was built,
they anticipated that the three schools down the road would generate traffic
noise so they made sure they had a generous setback from the road, but they did
not anticipate that the County would allow developers to build on the north
side within 15 feet of the sidewalk.
Consequently, all the land will be taken from the Bonaventure
Subdivision. She reviewed the traffic
problems from Lake Brantley High School to the west from Forest City
Elementary, as well as the three traffic lights in that area. She stated backup of this traffic is a
result of poor planning of the County engineers and School Board. She said she would like to know what oversight
could she expect from the County if this project goes forward.
John
Goring, 2450 Pleasant Dr., addressed the Board to read his comments (received
and filed) into the Record. He stated
he is the President of West Lake Brantley Homeowners Association and West Lake
Brantley is one of the twelve cul-de-sacs that will be impacted by this
project. He referred to a head-on
collision that occurred on April 4, 2000 shutting down traffic flow for 2 hours
and none of the residents of the cul de sac communities could enter or exit
their homes due to this accident. He
stated if an emergency had occurred during that time, the fire trucks or
emergency vehicles would not have been able to enter into those areas. He said there is only one fire hydrant
serving the area and he would like four more hydrants added to this area. Mr. Goring discussed the three traffic
lights impeding normal flow of traffic and causing backups. He requested that the County engineers time
the lights to favor the bulk of traffic flow and not impede it.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide requested that Mr. Grace contact the fire department at Wekiva
Springs Road and let them know that if an emergency comes up in that area, that
they would be the closest fire department.
Henry
Peraldo, 209 Camden Road, addressed the Board to state he has lived in the area
for 28 years and he has lived there way before Lake Brantley High and Forest
City Elementary were built. He stated
the biggest problem is the traffic lights have caused all of these problems in
the area. He said the road is very
poorly designed and the County does not put the turn lanes in to let the
thru-traffic go where they belong. He
added there is no police protection at all in that area. He discussed the school kids squealing their
tires and kids going through there with open mufflers, school guards holding up
traffic, the proposed right-of-way, and increasing the sidewalk. He stated he would like to know why a 16 ft.
median is needed when the project is going to run one mile. He added that the students will not use the
sidewalk on Sand Lake Road to walk to school.
Mark
Davis, 2460 Island Drive, addressed the Board to state he feels the County can
save money by constructing a turn lane into Forest City Elementary on the south
side and on the north side of Lake Brantley High School. The County wouldn’t have to impact anyone
else if they took those two properties.
Robert
Campbell, 2431 Palmetto Drive, addressed the Board to discuss the escape route
for the neighborhood if an emergency occurred.
Vince
Davila-Aponte, 2306 Sand Lake Road, addressed the Board to state the school is
the problem in the area and not the traffic volume. He stated the residents do not have a problem getting home when
the school is not in session. He said suggestions
have been made about putting turn lanes into the school and cooperating with
the School Board and the City of Altamonte Springs in coming up with a joint
venture in a combination of turn lanes rather than widening Sand Lake Road.
Mr.
McCollum stated the City of Altamonte Springs is studying extending or
realigning the road into Jamestown and tying it into Sand Lake Road. He stated relative to Palm Springs, the
engineers have addressed a safety issue in that area but it wouldn’t be staff’s
recommendation to try to put more traffic on this road because it cannot access
SR 434 safely.
Mr.
Davila-Aponte stated the high school is the area where the problem is and by
adding turn lanes traffic will not be accelerated. He stated he feels that the only work that needs to be done is
that area up to the western most entry to Lake Brantley High. He suggested putting the telephone and power
lines underground if a median is constructed there.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Mr. Davila-Aponte advised he doesn’t
think the problem is on Sand Lake Road, and it could be resolved with
intersection improvements and additional turn lanes.
No
one else spoke in support or in opposition.
Speaker
Request Forms were received and filed.
Commissioner
Henley stated there are a number of people here tonight indicating that they do
not want the road widened. He stated
Seminole County has the largest high schools in the State and all of the
traffic problems occur in a 15 to 30 minutes time frame. It is suggested that the high school buses
wait, but they have to make their run and most of them have to come back and
pick up middle school and elementary school children. The only solution is to spend tax dollars to buy buses for every
grade level rather than using the buses to serve more than one grade
level. He stated he doesn’t think it is
too much to wait 15 to 30 minutes to get those buses out. He said he doesn’t feel that turn lanes will
make a significant difference at the high school. He suggested convincing the School Board to adopt a policy that
would prevent the kids from driving to
school.
Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Maloy to adopt
Typical Section #5 for Segment 1 and 2 of Sand Lake Road from Hunt Club Blvd.
to SR 434, as described in the proof of publication.
Under
discussion, Commissioner Maloy suggested that when the roadway is under
construction that staff make an incentive to get this project done early.
Commissioner
Henley stated he feels the 8 ft. sidewalks are a move in the right direction
for safety concerns of the children.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. McCollum advised if there is enough
capacity for the water lines, fire hydrants will be put in.
Districts
1, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Proof
of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to
consider request to Rezone from R-1AA (Single Family Dwelling) and A-1
(Agriculture) to R-1AAA (Single Family Dwelling District) and RC-1 (Country
Homes District); property located on the west side of Little Lake Howell at the
intersection of Lake Drive and Bird Road, Mark Crone on behalf of Arthur
Grindle, Jr., received and filed.
Amanda
Smith, Planner, addressed the Board to advise the area to be rezoned is part of
a parent tract that contains a total of 23 acres. The remaining portion of the parent tract, comprising of 13.145
acres, is designated as wetlands. She
stated staff recommends approval of the proposed request. The Local Planning Agency (LPA) recommended
approval of the request subject to the following conditions: (1) There shall be no boat launching
facility to Little Lake Howell for the lots that do not front on Little Lake
Howell; (2) The property’s primary access shall be from Bird Road; and (3) The
development shall be consistent with Exhibit C, subject to the existing Florida
Power easement.
Mark
Crone, representing Kingston Group, addressed the Board to state this request
was originally heard by LPA in August 2000 and the design is a result of
numerous meetings with the homeowner’s association. In addition to design revisions, there is an agreement between
the affected homeowners to the north and the current owner of the property in
which numerous issues were addressed.
He briefly reviewed those issues.
He stated he believes the project meets the ingress and egress requirements
and addresses the basic components of the Land Development Code.
Attorney
Carol Barice, 2800 Central Blvd., addressed the Board to state she represents
the Lake Tuskawilla Homeowners Association and they are looking forward to a
very high quality development on this property. She stated she is grateful for having the opportunity to work
with the developer and she believes this development will protect the quality
of the lake.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Maloy, Ms. Barice advised she would like Schedule C to
be a part of the development order.
No
one else spoke in support or in opposition.

Commissioner
Maloy left the meeting at this time.
Ms.
Amanda Smith advised the Board approved the Large Scale Amendment in December
2001. She stated the applicant has
provided adequate buffer around the site and staff believes the applicant’s
plan, as proposed, would not adversely impact the surrounding area.
Commissioner
Maloy reentered the meeting at this time.
Ms.
Smith stated the LPA approved the request on 8/1/01 and staff recommends
approval subject to their recommendations outlined in the agenda
memorandum.
Chairman
McLain stated staff is recommending changing recommendation #17 to “all truck
traffic would be limited to the improvement along the property line and must
exit to the south”.
Ms.
Smith clarified that recommendation #2 should be M-1A, not M-1.
Robert
Henson, Design Service Group, addressed the Board to state he has no additional
comments. Letters from Mr. Henson

MASTER PLAN/DEVELOPER’S COMMITMENT AGREEMENT
Proof
of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to
consider Revisions to Red Bug Lake Village PUD/PCD Final Master Plan and
Developer’s Commitment Agreement, Harling Locklin & Associates, received
and filed.
Ms.
Smith stated the proposed revisions would change the use for a portion of a
9.71-acre tract on the northeast corner of Red Bug Lake Road and Dodd Road from
Office to Commercial uses, and would provide for an additional access point
from Dodd Road to this tract. She stated
staff has no objections to the modification of uses from Office to Commercial
on the tract. The LPA recommended
approval of the proposed revisions with the 16 conditions as outlined in the
agenda memorandum. In addition to the
revisions, the applicant has submitted the proposed modifications: (1) No drive-thru business shall be
permitted, except Bank and Drug Store and must close at 10:00 p.m.; (2) There
shall be a 6 ft. wide foundation landscape buffer between parking lots and
building entrances; (3) All sides of buildings shall have uniform architectural
style, detail, trim features, and roof treatments. No side shall have the appearance of a loading/service area. Quality of design shall be similar to
“Shoppes at Oakmonte”; (4) Building facades shall include building step backs,
offsets or projections, texture and/or material change, pattern change, etc.,
to provide visual interest. Blank walls
shall not exceed 20 ft. in a vertical direction or 50 ft. in a horizontal
direction; (5) Roofs shall be hip or gable roofs. No visible flat roofs.
Rooflines and features shall be consistent with the building mass and
scale; (6) Development within Tract 2 shall comply with active/passive buffer
standards where adjacent to Tract 1 (existing apartment site). Minimum 25 ft. landscape buffer, except one
30 ft. radius drive, shall be permitted to encroach up to 10 ft. A 6 ft. wall shall be required. The wall shall match the design of the brick
wall at Shadow Creek Apartments and should tie into existing brick columns.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Maloy, Ms. Smith advised the proposed modifications
would be part of the development order and staff does not have any objections
to those modifications. She stated
staff would replace some of the recommendations as proposed by Mr.
Cavanaugh. She added staff
recommendations 1 thru 10 would remain as well as LPA recommendations.
At
the request of Commissioner Maloy, Mahmoud Najda, Development Review Manager,
addressed the Board to review the extra entrance at Dodd Road. He stated staff is in agreement with the
right-in but not the right-out.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide left the meeting at this time.
Hugh
Harling, Harling Locklin & Associates, addressed the Board to advise he is
in agreement with all of staff recommendations. He stated he has met with the Red Bug Coalition Homeowner’s
Association and kept them apprised of everything. He said he would like to request the ability to combine the
grocery facility and drug facility located on the corner. He added he will work with Mr. Cavanaugh to
make sure that the architectural features are accomplished. He stated he would like the flexibility to
have that modified plan to come before staff without having a public hearing
for this type of minor change.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Maloy, Mr. Harling advised the 6 ft. landscape buffer
works very well and allows you to direct pedestrian traffic.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide reentered the meeting at this time.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Maloy, Mr. Harling advised if the Board allows them to
combine the drug and grocery into one facility, as long as they meet the
landscaping and the building architecture, that would be acceptable.
Chairman
McLain stated the applicant would like staff to approve that change without having
an additional public hearing.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Ms. Smith advised staff has no objections to
that.
Tom
Cavanaugh, 730 Bonnie Bear Street, addressed the Board to state he owns Shadow
Creek Apartments. He stated he feels it
would be confusing having staff recommendations, LPA recommendations as well as
his recommendations. He said he would
like the Board to make his letter of recommendations as the official letter
into the developer’s agreement. The
only difference is the 6 ft. versus the 10 ft. and that is around the perimeter
of the building only. He stated the
site plan shown this evening shows a big box site plan and it is different from
the one he previously saw. He said if
the developer wants to come back and make a big box, he would like the
opportunity to discuss the pluses and minuses of this issue. He stated he cannot support this issue at
this time. A letter from Mr. Cavanaugh
listing the modifications was received and filed.
Chairman
McLain stated staff would make sure that both parties are in agreement on this
and if there isn’t an agreement, then it will come back to this Board.
Commissioner
Maloy stated if this change occurred, he would imagine other people would be
interested in seeing the changes to that.
He stated he doesn’t think the Board would want to have a site plan
approval tied to one person.
Commissioner
Henley stated he feels the Board needs to proceed with caution in creating the
idea that a third party had veto power.
He stated he feels it would be worth it to have input and to try to work
things out.
Chairman
McLain recessed the meeting at 8:55 p.m., reconvening at 9:09 p.m. to allow
staff time to evaluate all three recommendations.
Ms.
Smith stated staff recommends approval of the following additional
conditions: (1) Final site plan shall
be approved by the Board at a regular hearing; (2) There shall be safe
pedestrian access from Red Bug Lake Road and Dodd Road to the project
development; (3) There shall be cut-off
shoe box lighting or higher quality shall be utilized and shall not be higher
than 16 ft.; (4) All side of buildings shall have uniform architectural style,
detail, trim features, and roof treatments.
No side shall have the appearance of a loading/service area. Quality of design shall be similar to
“Shoppes at Oakmonte as currently developed”.
She stated staff recommends approval of these conditions as well as
staff recommendations 1 thru 14.
No
one else spoke in support or in opposition.
Speaker
Request Form was received and filed.
