the Master Plan for Soldiers Creek.
Chairman
Henley advised that the two issues are the property itself and what to do w=
ith
the property; and the second issue is whether they will be working with ano=
ther
entity. He said a recommendat=
ion also
has be to made as to the location of trail.
Ms.
Goldman advised staff has met with representatives from the Cities of Longw=
ood
and Winter Springs. She state=
d that
an unsolicited proposal from a private party has also been submitted. Discussions to date with the City =
of
Ms.
Goldman continued by stating in order to proceed with the master plan, staff
recommends that two options be addressed.&=
nbsp;
These are: a baseball =
only
complex and a combined baseball/softball complex. The existing fields would be
incorporated into both plans. The
master plan will include cost estimates, address all environmental limitati=
ons,
and the relocation of trail alignment to the north of the site. In that both public and private en=
tities
have demonstrated an interest in the park, staff also recommends that a par=
tner
be selected based upon a competitive request for proposal process.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Ms. Goldman advised they have had no speci=
fic
discussions with either city regarding funding.
Commissioner
Carey stated she does not want to see the County spend money to do planning
without knowing who the County’s potential partners may or may not
be. Therefore, she said she w=
ould
like the County to move forward with the RFP process to see if there is any
interest in partnering before money is spent. She added that she believes the tr=
ail
could be moved and minor improvements could be made while the RFP process is
moving forward.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he would be concerned if there is no a master plan, be=
cause
the County’s partners may propose something that does not fit into the
master plan. He said with the=
se
types of issues, he looks to the District Commissioner’s
recommendation.
District
Commissioner Morris said clearly there is still a major baseball need in the
County. He further said this =
is a
well-used park that already has had a private partnership that has lasted f=
or
many years. He stated he is
concerned with the RFP process on a public issue like this. He suggested continuing with the c=
urrent
use and move forward with the master plan; but, he would like to circle back
one more time with Winter Springs and Longwood to see if this is something =
they
want to participate in.
Chairman
Henley advised he believes Winter Springs is interested in “long
ball” but not interested in other age groups; they have not mentioned=
any
desire at all to spend any money.
With Longwood, he said there have been discussions to move softball =
to
Mr.
Grace stated the Board needs to keep in mind that there may be other private
entities that are interested in partnering who are not aware of this. He said there may be folks willing=
to
come forward with capital dollars in addition to conducting the operations.=
Commissioner
Carey suggested doing the RFP concurrent with the master plan.
Ms.
Goldman stated that could be done; but until the specifics (number of field=
s,
etc.) are known, some may have some difficulty in being able to do their
financial projections. Discus=
sion
ensued.
Commissioner
Carey stated she has asked for a list of all the parks in the County along =
with
their facilities.
Commissioner
Morris strongly urged that the RFP not be a standard RFP, but be highly
qualified that this is a negotiation and not a ranking award system. He said he has great concern with =
the
trail issue.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris,
Commissioner
Morris advised the speed limit on this road is 50 mph, with average speed g=
oing
somewhere in the 60’s. =
He
said it is extraordinarily dangerous to have crossings here. Discussion ensued with regard to t=
he
trailhead.
Commissioner
Morris suggested using the
Mr.
McCollum stated they can review that and it could be brought back to the Bo=
ard in
December.
Commissioner
Morris asked that this be brought back as soon as possible.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, se=
conded
by Commissioner Dallari to move forward with the concept of the master plan
with the RFP, as discussed, with staff releasing the RFP based upon enough =
of
the master plan being done so that people can understand what the County is
trying to do.
Under
discussion and upon inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Ms. Goldman advised th=
e master
plan will include timing and phasing.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. Grace stated staff plans to talk to some= of the consultants they already have and get price quotes from them. He added he is not sure how much i= t will cost to do the master plan. <= o:p>
Commissioner
Dallari stated he would like to be flexible to see what the master plan is
going to bear.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Ms. Goldman stated they are looking to do a
preliminary master plan; but with the environmental limitations of the site,
some of the engineering will need to be addressed.

There may be additional funds that they may want to put into the arts
program based on per capita funding.
He stated with the kind of work that the Helen Stairs Theatre has put
into the community, he would not want them short-changed. The issue is the County is
probably under-funding the Arts program per capita and that is something th=
ey
may want to address. He state=
d he
would hate to change course with the investment they already have made with=
the
arts community.
Commissioner
Morris stated he sees the neighboring counties are contributing more money =

The proposed zoning is compatible with the Future Land Use Designati=

Hugh
Harling, representing the developer, submitted a Preliminary Master Plan and
stated he has had several meetings with the Lake Forest Homeowner’s

He read the surface management standards regarding to development wi=

indicates that developments that contain flood prone lands shall not cause =
an
impact on existing flooding characteristics. Flood plains shall be maintained
hydrologically in their natural state and protected with a conservation
easement. Since Mr.
Hattaway’s property is almost entirely within a flood plain, he asked=
how

Mr.

Mr.

referred to. He stated he will
commit to reducing the zoning from C-2 to C-1. The density is 25% less than what =
the
developer of
Commissioner
Carey stated it was her understanding from staff’s discussions that t=
he
wall was going to be along the north edge of the development and not on the
north property line.
Mr.
Walter stated he believes it was to be on the north property line. There was discussion of putting it=
on
the north edge of the development.
Commissioner
Carey suggested making that a 6 ft. precast wall system rather than a mason=
ry
wall.
Mr.
Harling stated even though you don’t have to footer in that, you would
have to bring in a very heavy piece of wall system and it will be slotted in
place with a heavy piece of equipment.&nbs=
p;
In order to get the equipment and materials to accomplish that, the
existing trees and vegetation will be destroyed. He would recommend that if a visual
barrier is needed, they would put a dark green PVC plastic pipe system in a=
nd
it can be carried in by hand. If it
is a matter of security, then a green chain-link fence can be brought in the
same way. He stated he would
propose moving forward with the dark green PVC plastic wall system that will
provide additional screening. They
have agreed with the SJRWMD that any of those areas that are slightly barre=
n of
any tree cover will be enhanced with additional landscaping.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. Walter advised the 6 ft. masonry wall is=
a
requirement of the Code and it could be waived.
Upon
further inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. Bates advised not only did the
homeowner’s association like the masonry wall on the north side, there
were discussion relative to having a wall on the west side to create privac=
y on
their side. The association
indicated that they would continue the dialogue on that hopefully before fi=
nal
permits are issued. He unders=
tood
that the masonry wall would be built on this side of the conservation
area.
Mr.
Walter informed Commissioner Carey that the Board can require a 6 ft. vinyl
fence with decorative columns.
Commissioner
Morris stated he feels that a bobcat can move in 6 ft. segments very
easily. The destruction area =
is
going to be 2 to 3 feet anyway.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. Harling advised the precast panels would
weigh approximately 2.5 tons, therefore, a bobcat couldn’t get them in
there. He stated he would pre=
fer a
PVC system and he doesn’t have a problem bringing it down both the we=
st
and north sides. He said he w=
ould
propose using the 50 ft. conservation easement and meander the fence in the=
re
so they can save the maximum amount of trees and also on the conservation a=
rea
on the western side of the property.
Mr.
Harling informed Commissioner Carey he feels it would be appropriate if they
could meander the fence on the south side and have the ability to jog five =
to
ten feet to the north where there are no trees within the conservation
easement.
Commissioner
Carey stated the developer needs to jog the fence toward their side so they=
can
protect the conservation easement. <=

Mr.
Harling stated they could jog the fence a maximum of 10 ft. away from the
conservation easement.

minimum setback of 235 ft. ins=
tead
of 170 ft. She stated, relati=
ve to
the technical review, she feels that with the homeowner’s association=
and
engineers working on this that they will come up with something good. She added that the second entrance
between Lake Forest and International Parkway, would be gated controlled wi=
th
emergency access only into the residential section from the commercial sect=
ion
with pedestrian access; and there will be a cross access easement on the no=
rth
edge of the commercial parcel so that the residents can go in and out on the
north side of the parcel without going out on SR 46.
Districts
1, 2, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide voted NAY.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated the reason he is opposed to the request is the develop=
er
had to give up aesthetics of placing the fence on the south and east part of
the property. He stated he fe=
els
that is over kill.
Commissioner Morris asked if the District Commissioner would allow giving a flexibility = of the applicant to build in some aesthetics versus a required slotted fence.<= o:p>
Commissioner
Carey stated the fence could be vinyl or rod iron and she will include in t=

motion the interpretation of the fence is flexible.

LEGISLATIVE
UPDATE
Sally
Sherman, Deputy County Manager, updated the Board on the Legislative issues
relating to the reason why the Car Rental Surcharge was withdrawn. She stated Representative Quinones
indicated he would like to make some additional language changes to that bi=
ll
and it will be resubmitted. S=
he
said once it comes back and if the Board supports it, she would like
authorization to submit a letter indicating that they support those
efforts.
Commissioner
Carey stated the MetroPlan had discussions about using the $2 surcharge as a
dedicated funding source for transit and she is wondering if Representative
Quinones is massaging the language to make that the purpose of the surcharg=
e.
Ms.
Sherman stated that is a possibility but she will make sure that she pays
attention to that when the new language comes in.

style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> He stated he feels the Board needs=
to
take a position as a Commission or they are doomed to allow very bad planni=
ng
to occur.
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Henley, Commissioner Morris advised he feels the Board
should have a factual base presentation so they can understand what they are
talking about.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Mr. Grace advised he believes staff could =
give
the Board what the impact could be.
That will address the ad valorem taxes that will be lost. He stated what Commissioner Morris=
is
talking about is tying in the direct and indirect impact outlined in the
previous reports. He said sta=
ff
probably could have something on the next agenda.
Commissioner
Morris stated this is an issue of doing a quick apartment building. This is not being publicly debated
appropriately and is a one-sided argument.=
The County is doomed to not having their partners (City of Lake Mary)
understand why they are opposed to this.&n=
bsp;
He stated he feels this should come back to individual Board members=
as
quickly as possible.
Mr.
