He said the Board should have several letters of protest. He has no vested interest, but
protecting his property value. He said
he understands that the Commission does not have authority to approve the

of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to
consider approval of Final Master Plan and Developer’s Commitment
Agreement for Savannah Park PUD, located on the west side of International
Parkway between Wayside Drive and Wilson Road, Charles Madden, received and
filed.
&=
nbsp; Jeff
Hopper, Senior Planner, addressed the Board to present the request and he
clarified, for the record, that the proposed number of condominiums in the
mixed use area is 20 units. He
further corrected in the Developer’s Commitment Agreement, page 2 that
the required buffer areas are 2.29 acres and total open space is 9.83 acres;
Section VI.C., page 3, is revised to read, “A 20-foot setback shall be
required from the wall of any unit to the nearest edge of the street or
sidewalk adjacent to the street.
This requirement shall not apply to detached garages.” (Memorandum from Mr. Hopper and To=
ny
Walter to the BCC dated October 10, 2005, was received and filed.) Mr. Hopper advised that the Develo=
pment
Order for this development required the applicant to obtain a joint use
agreement with the Public Works Department allowing the existing County
retention ponds adjacent to this site to be incorporated into the
project’s stormwater management system. He understands the agreement has b=
een
prepared but not yet recorded. He
said staff is recommending the Board condition their approval on recording =
that
document within 30 days.
&=
nbsp; Rob
Gebadie, Bateman, Hostetler,
&=
nbsp; Mr.
McMillan questioned whether 30 days would be enough time for the joint use
agreement to be finalized as staff requested. As the Board only has one meeting =
in
November, he suggested giving more time (by the end of the year) in order f=
or
staff to bring the agreement before the Board in the December meeting.
&=
nbsp; Mr.
Gebadie stated the agreement is complete and the only outstanding issue is =
for
the Engineering Department to provide some numbers for insurance to plug in=
to
the conditions. He requested =
the
agreement be placed on the next Consent Agenda and make the Final Master Pl=
an

McMillan expressed his concern that he doesn’t want to have a drop de=

date in the Development Order that, if not met, the Final Master Plan would=
not
be valid.
&=
nbsp; Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Kevin Cramer of Cambridge Homes,
&=
nbsp; Mr.
Gebadie suggested placing the condition that prior to final engineering app=
roval,
the stormwater management pond agreement will be executed. He said he thinks that would take =
care
of the issue regarding the pond.
Whereupon, Mr. McMillan said this would be undoing what was placed a=

condition in the public hearing on zoning, and he would be uncomfortable do=
ing
that unless it could be done administratively under the authority of the
Planning Manager. Discussion =
ensued
with the Board.
&=
nbsp; Deputy
County Attorney Steve Lee addressed the Board to state he asked for the
Insurance Office’s input on the levels of insurance the County would
require and he has not heard back yet on that. He said he has not yet responded to
changes Mr. Gebadie made to the document, but there is nothing major to keep
them from getting the agreement put together, but it’s just the matte=

getting the details finished.

Morris stated he would like to know what the seven counties in the region h=

Van Der Weide said he wonders if they should ask for some sort of dedicated
Lynx funding, and if they get the $2 rental car surcharge, it will come out=
of
that. He’s wondering if=
they
should give the State more options.
He agreed with Commissioner Morris that the County is really not ask=
ing
for much.
&=
nbsp; Commissioner
Carey said the Lynx Board is still looking for a dedicated funding source, =
and
as more and more transit comes into the area, some kind of dedicated funding
source is needed.

Henley said he was not opposed to it.

nbsp; Mr.
Grace said staff can take this as a priority issue and work on what some of=
the
alternatives might be. Discus=
sion
ensued.

Carey said this would have to be a regional issue. She said maybe Commissioner Morris=
could
bring this up to the MetroPlan Board to see if they wish to pursue this as a

Van Der Weide stated he would like to have staff send out some sort of inqu=

source. He said let them take
charge. He thinks this should=

Morris said SR 46 is a critical issue.&nbs=
p;
This is now the deadliest road in the region. It’s a two-lane road and an
evacuation road from Mims. He=
said
they should push this road for funding.&nb=

inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Ms. Sherman explained regarding the Sexual
Predator Ordinance that she is going to pull together information on what t=

State is doing to review and bring before the Board for comments and
suggestions.
&=
nbsp; Mr.
McMillan said he thinks when the BCC adopted the ordinance, they recommended
sending it to the State and suggest they try to implement that kind of appr=
oach
on a statewide basis because that way the ordinance would be the most
effective.
CHAIRMAN’S
REPORT
&=
nbsp; Chairman
Henley advised he received a letter from Dan Andrews, Chairman of the Trails
and Greenway Advisory Committee, indicating Mr. Wiley Dykes, Sr., has been =
on
the Committee for quite some time, but can no longer be as active. Mr. Andrews asked if the Board wou=
ld consider
establishing Mr. Dykes as an honorary member. Discussion ensued.

Van Der Weide explained he was not against making Mr. Dykes an honorary mem=
ber,
but he doesn’t want the Committee to think they will make the district

Henley recommended a 4% salary adjustment for County Manager Kevin Grace. He said the Board was provided ear=
