Commissioner Carey discussed the request to
adopt Resolution to amend the Seminole County Administrative Code to adjust the
vehicle allowance and mileage reimbursement rate, stating the County’s mileage
is currently 29 cents which is what the State is still at. She said she had distributed to the
Commissioners the Florida Statute and Federal IRS regulations (not received and
filed) that were passed. She explained
that the 48.5 cents was a temporary measure that the IRS took from September to
December 31. The current rate for IRS up
until September had been 40.5 cents. She
said she would hate to see them change their ordinance and go from 29 cents to
48.5 cents when that was a temporary measure, and when gas prices get back in
line, that will probably be adjusted.
She recommended that they look at a figure less than the 48.5
cents.
Upon inquiry by Chairman Henley, Mr.
McMillan said he believes the policy before them is not to change the rate to
48.5 but to bring it into compliance with the federal rate, so when that rate
goes down, the County’s rate would go down.
He said the proposed Resolution ties the rate to the Federal IRS rate,
and however it goes up or down in the future would be what the County
reimburses. Whereupon, Chairman Henley
said the motion recommended is misleading.
Commissioner Morris stated he brought this
to the
Motion
by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to delete
Section H.(2)(b), Continuous User, from the Resolution and adopt appropriate

April Boswell, Assistant Planning Manager,
addressed the Board to present request for reduction of penalty for property
located at
Craig Lynd, grandson of property owner,
addressed the Board to state his grandmother, Willie M. Lynd, had no direct
knowledge until recently that there was a lien on the property. He explained that he was made aware
approximately 8 to 10 months ago. They
forced the granddaughter to bring the property into compliance.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide,
Ms. Boswell advised the last inspection was on August 3, 2005, when the
property came into compliance.
Whereupon, Commissioner Van Der Weide said staff should conduct a much
more recent inspection on these properties before bringing them before the
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr.
Lynd stated he was representing his grandmother with her knowledge. He said Glenda Lynd, granddaughter of the
property owner, was the one at fault.
During discussion, Ms. Boswell corrected
that Code Enforcement checked the property last week and it is in compliance.
Motion
by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to approve the
staff recommendation to reduce the Code Enforcement Board lien from $163,350 to
the estimated administrative costs of $717.22 for processing Case #03-99-CEB on
the property located at 410 Forest Lake Drive, Altamonte Springs, Medford D.
and Willie M. Lynd, owners of record; request these costs to be paid within 60
days or the lien will revert back to its original amount ($163,350); and upon
payment in full, authorize the Chairman to execute the Satisfaction of Lien.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Ms. Boswell presented the request for reduction
of penalty for property located at
Peggy Smith Madden,
Commissioner Carey asked if Mrs. Madden
would be able to pay the lien within the next 60 days, and she stated if the
amount is not too much because of their income and she and her husband are
sick.
District Commissioner Carey stated in
reviewing the staff report, all the certified mail came back and was unclaimed. She said that always bothers her that the
mail is returned and no one goes out to try to locate the people. She stated that on July 21, the lien was
reduced to $1,000 and the respondent was not at the hearing and the mail still
came back unclaimed. Based on that and
her disappointment that staff didn’t try to get in contact with the respondent,
she would recommend the reduction.
Motion
by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to approve a
reduction to the Code Enforcement Board line from $3,750 to the estimated
administrative costs of $558.83 for processing Case #03-23-CEB on the property
located at 1st Drive, Sanford, Parcel I.D. 31-19-31-502-0000-0120,
Thomas Madden, owner; require these costs to be paid within 60 days or the lien
will revert back to its original amount ($3,750); and, upon payment in full,
authorize the Chairman to execute the Satisfaction of Lien.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

Chairman Henley asked if it was the
pleasure of the Board to instruct the
Mr. McMillan stated the process for code
enforcement is under the Sheriff, therefore, the
Mr. Grace stated staff would be working
with the Sheriff on improved communication and he thinks they can add this
issue to that discussion. Discussion
ensued with the Board.
The Board’s
consensus was to communicate to the Sheriff the Board’s desire to follow up
when staff does not get any response to certified mail. Chairman Henley said this will be added to
the list to discuss with the Sheriff.
Commissioner Morris said this is one of the
toughest jobs and the staff bends over backwards to try to get compliance
before it reaches this level. He saluted
Code Enforcement staff for doing good work on these cases.
Commissioner Dallari said what Code Enforcement
and the Sheriff are doing is pretty remarkable.
As stated, some of these issues are prior to the Sheriff taking them
over. He is very confident this will be worked
out with the Sheriff.
Commissioner Carey stated she certainly has
great respect for code enforcement after spending three days touring with the
staff.

Ms. Boswell presented the request for
reduction of penalty for property located at
Timothy Juergens, property owner, addressed
the Board to state he was in agreement with what the staff has recommended.
Motion
by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to approve the
staff recommendation to reduce the Code Enforcement Board liens which total
$62,500 to the estimated administrative costs of $1,537.64 for processing Case
#99-76A-CEB and Case #01-89-CEB on the property located at 102 Orienta Drive,
Altamonte Springs, Timothy F. and Claudia G. Juergens, owners; require these
costs to be paid in three installments with $512.55 to be paid by December 15,
2005, $512.55 to be paid by January 16, 2006, and the final payment of $512.54 to
be paid no later than January 31, 2006, or the liens will revert back to the
original amounts ($20,800 and $41,700); and, upon payment in full, authorize
the Chairman to execute the respective Satisfactions of Liens.

Jeff Hopper, Senior Planner, addressed the
Board to present request for approval of the Final Master Plan and Developer’s Commitment Agreement
for Hawthorne Estates PUD for property located on the east side of Orange
Boulevard, 0.4 mile north of SR 46 (Deborah Hagen/Hawthorne Estates LLC),
stating staff is recommending approval subject to the Developer’s Commitment
Agreement as proposed.
Commissioner Carey asked if staff had
confirmed if
Chairman Henley questioned if the cell
tower meets the regulations since the subdivision is not there yet, and Mr.
Hopper said he believes it does.
Commissioner Dallari questioned if the cell
tower wasn’t there and the subdivision was, would the tower meet the
regulations, and Mr. Hopper said he assumes the cell tower would need a larger setback
than what is there currently.
Tony Walter, Planning Manager, addressed
the Board to state the cell tower doesn’t meet the regulations if it were a new
tower coming in. He said he did not find
any comments from anyone in the records about setbacks. He added that if a new cell tower were
proposed, because of the way the subdivision is designed, it would not be
permitted because it would not meet the setbacks. He said he recalls that in the Code, existing cell
towers are exempt. He said the house on
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr.
McMillan answered that the distance required from the cell tower to the closest
property would be three times the height of the tower.
Chairman Henley said this is correctable to
meet the intent, so why is staff allowing this without an exception.
Commissioner Morris asked why would staff
deliberately put something in violation by allowing this to go forward when the
original intent of the original separation agreement must be invalid.
Chairman Henley said the concern is the
reason for separation regardless which was there first.
DCM Don Fisher addressed the Board to state
the tower code setbacks apply to new towers, but not to when residential goes
in next to the towers. Part of the logic
when that was done is that everybody knows the tower is there, they can see it
and it is not a surprise. He advised
there was some discussion and recognition of the tower in March, 2004, when
this went through zoning. From the
staff’s perspective, that is when the approval took place, and the Final Master
Plan is just concurrence of the previous process.
Chairman Henley asked if that precludes the
Board from making a correction, because the purpose of the setback is for
safety.
Mr. McMillan advised that the objective of
the cell tower ordinance was to regulate the placement of a tower, and it does
not require a house to be separated from the tower at the time of its
construction. He doesn’t think, at this
point, the Board can change that. He
doesn’t know if, at this point in the process, the Board could do anything to
deny owners of the property the right to plat it in accordance with the
previous approvals because of where the tower is.
Commissioner Morris gave a “what if”
scenario and said the Board would potentially be allowing someone to go into a
public danger.
Mr. McMillan said if the Board wants to
deal with that issue, they would probably want to readdress the regulations.
Whereupon, Commissioner Morris said the
Board may want to readdress the public safety side. Mr. McMillan said he thinks the Board would
have to readdress the Code, as he doesn’t think there is anything in the Code
now that says someone can’t establish a residential use within a certain
distance of a tower. Commissioner Morris
requested to see some options on that from staff.
Motion
by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to approve the
Final Master Plan and Developer’s Commitment Agreement for Hawthorne Estates
PUD and authorize the Chairman to execute the Developer’s Commitment Agreement,

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Commissioner Morris stated he has received
a packet of information for Item #68, request to vacate and abandon/Lonnie
Groot, representative for Arthur Evans, on this afternoon’s agenda. He noted that this is a continued public
hearing, but no additional public input is to be given. The applicant has asked for a continuance and
this item has already been continued once.
Upon request of Commissioner Morris, Mr.
McMillan gave the Board’s policy on continuances.
Commissioner Morris asked that the various
people be contacted to advise of the request for continuance and that Mr. Evans
nor Mr. Groot are available for this afternoon.
Chairman Henley asked staff to notify the
people that this hearing will probably be continued until the first meeting in
January, 2006, and remind them that this is a continuation and is not for
public input.
REGULAR AGENDA, Continued
Suzan Bunn, Tourism Development Director,
addressed the Board to request approval of the amended agreement with United Arts of Central Florida and
Seminole Cultural Arts Council and Budget Amendment Request for $105,745.
Upon request by Commissioner Dallari, Ms.
Bunn reviewed the information (copy received and filed) on the breakdown of
funds proposed by United Arts.
Commissioner Morris stated the issue is
there are three groups--Seminole Cultural Arts, United Arts and Helen Stairs Theatre. He said he does not have a problem with
distributing the funds as the requests come in for the $100,000 already
allocated. The Board may want to think
about having a workshop for the additional allocations. He thinks United Arts has done a very
responsive job. Also, Seminole Cultural Arts
Council and Helen Stairs Theatre make an argument. He is concerned if the Board has enough
conditions on what they are doing. He
suggested allowing the current allocation already approved, but on the additional
amounts, maybe do a workout.
Chairman Henley said he totally supports
that. He is uncomfortable that the Board
is starting to give away a sizeable amount of money, but they don’t have a tremendous
amount of oversight on how that money is used and they have not clearly defined
that. He said he was just given a
notebook (not received and filed) from the Seminole Cultural Arts Council and
he has not been able to read that yet. He
would personally be in favor of approving the formula of $.50 per capita and
distributing the money that has already been budgeted. He would like to hold the other until he
could meet with the individual groups to understand more about their situation.
Commissioner Morris commented the Board may
also want to consider, if they determine to hold a workshop, the checks and
balances system in place with the current Community Grants program. Also, he said consider the concept of
matching grants. The Board would be
putting new money into a system where they can see new money coming in from a
matching grant. These two things would
really help the arts community and inspire them for greater reach of what they
are trying to do.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide,
Ms. Bunn advised that this money is coming from the General Fund Reserve. She said TDC money can be used for promotions
that bring room nights into the community.
There is a 5th cents that could be used, but it would have to
be a high density tourism impact county to get that and
Commissioner Dallari stated he would have
no problem with a work session, but his question is due to the timing, he
thinks it would be prudent to have the work session as soon as possible.
Chairman Henley said the Board has already
approved the contract that is budgeted, but they are talking about new money
coming in and how they want to deal with that.
Commissioner Carey said the sooner the
better for a work session. There is a
business plan to do the Ritz Theatre’s summer kids movies and they need to know
if they can have some part of these funds.
She concurred with Commissioner Dallari that before the end of the
calendar year they need to have that.
Discussion ensued.
Chairman Henley stated he will have his Administrative
Aide contact the Commissioners about their availability, and he will try to
work it out before the end of the calendar year.
Commissioner Morris said staff also needs
to do preparation work with trying to match the various items the Board has
discussed.
Commissioner Dallari stated he would like
for all the Commissioners to have the breakdown information.
Mr. Grace stated that at the last meeting,
the Board made the motion to approve the original allocation. He asked if staff could interpret that to
mean the Board authorized moving ahead to execute a contract to allocate those
dollars now. Commissioner Morris said it’s
the additional monies they would like to hold a workshop on and see what the
division would be and what qualifications might be put on those allocations.
Motion
by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to approve the current
allocation as applications come in for distribution under the current
methodology; hold the money for the amended allocation for FY 06 totaling $105,745
until the Board holds a work session to determine the allocation methodology
and any constraints they would put on the distribution of those funds.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Mr. Grace stated he had
spoken to each of the Commissioners about transitioning to new leadership in
the County government and, as a followup to that, he has provided his proposed
letter of resignation (copy received and filed) which outlines how the
transition would occur. He said he will
continue to serve as
Commissioner Morris stated he thinks he has
had a very good experience through the years with Mr. Grace, and he agrees with
mixed emotions, to accept his resignation.
He wished Mr. Grace the best in his future endeavors.
Motion
by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to accept the letter of
resignation from Mr. Grace, as shown on page ______, and authorize the Chairman
to execute same.
Chairman Henley stated he will be voting
against the motion as he thinks they need to ask Mr. Grace to stay. He reflected on what has been accomplished
under Mr. Grace’s tenure and said he hopes the Board asks Mr. Grace to stay.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he has
been on the Board longer than anybody and witnessed more than several county
managers. He has seen what has been
accomplished and realizes the County is the envy of the region. He thinks Mr. Grace has been a wonderful
county manager and did a wonderful job.
Everybody he’s run into within the County and region considers him a
real professional and astute at his job.
He thinks it’s a shame they are at this point. He would hate to see Mr. Grace go. He said he will vote against Mr. Grace
leaving. He said he would be interested
to hear what the Commissioners have to say who will be voting in favor of the
motion.
Commissioner Morris said he understands
Commissioner Van Der Weide’s request and finds that wholly inappropriate. He has by motion honored the wishes of Mr.
Grace and offered, if he could, to help him in his future endeavors. His wish is to move in a new direction for
the County and Mr. Grace is at the stage of his life that it is time to move
on. This is a decision that Mr. Grace
made.
Districts 1, 2 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioners Henley and Van Der Weide
voted NAY.
Commissioner Morris said the effective date
of the resignation letter is December 31, 2005, and the Board has one meeting
scheduled prior to that.
Motion
by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to bring back at the
next Board meeting a not-to-exceed budget that would concur with a national
search that would also include the funds that would require a search for a
range of professional services and those costs associated with such a campaign,
such as flying in candidates for interviews; that the Board launch the search
in January, 2006, and have the opportunity the discuss the profile of what they
wish the next county manager to have in terms of qualifications and
credentials; and effective January 1, 2006, that Don Fisher be appointed as
Acting County Manager.
Under discussion, Chairman Henley said he
would concur with the first three parts of the motion, but he is not ready yet
to name an interim. He would, therefore,
be voting against the motion.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he would
have to personally counsel with Mr. Fisher to see if he is willing to take the
position on an interim basis.
Chairman Henley said he thinks they should
respect the workload Mr. Fisher already has, which he thinks is excessive
already. He has not had an opportunity
to talk with Mr. Fisher or anyone else regarding an interim and he would like
to have that opportunity before making an appointment.
Commissioner Carey stated based on the
letter from Mr. Grace, he would still be available for counsel to the Acting
County Manager or through the process for a period of time, so she does not
have a problem. She thinks Mr. Fisher
has done an excellent job as Deputy County Manager and his former experience in
the Planning Department makes him an excellent choice for the interim
candidate. She said she will support the
motion.
Commissioner Morris stated Mr. Grace has
indicated very much confidence in Mr. Fisher.
Commissioner Morris qualified his motion to state if Mr. Fisher accepts the position,
based upon his workload. Discussion
ensued.
Districts 1, 2 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioners Henley and Van Der Weide
voted NAY.

Chairman Henley recessed the meeting at
11:15 a.m., reconvening at 1:30 p.m., with all Commissioners and all other

requesting a continuance of this item.
Copy of email from Mr. Evans was received and filed.
Motion
by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Dallari to continue until
January 10, 2005 at 1:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as possible, consideration
of a request to vacate and abandon a portion of the unimproved public
rights-of-way known as Palm Avenue and Elm Street, as described in the proof of

REQUEST
FOR LAND USE & REZONING
FROM
A-1 TO PUD, MICHAEL J. GOOD
Proof of publication, as shown on page
_______, calling for a public hearing to consider a request for a Small Scale
Land Use Amendment from Commercial to Industrial on approximately 9.9 acres and
rezoning from A-1 (Agriculture) to PUD (Planned Unit Development District) on
approximately 22.3 acres, located on the south side of Orange Boulevard, 800
feet west of I-4, Michael J. Good, received and filed.
Planner, Jeff Hopper, addressed the Board
to present the request, advising the PUD will accommodate a variety of
commercial uses. The Commercial
designation supports the C-1 and C-2 uses indicated on the Preliminary Master
Plan. However, the plan also proposes
C-3 and M-1A uses so the applicant is requesting a land use amendment for the
central 9.95 acre portion of the site to Industrial. He said at this point the plan is conceptual
with specific uses and site lay-out to be established through one or more final
master plans. He further advised the
staff recommends approval of the request subject to the conditions in the
development order. He said communication
towers are permitted in C-1 and C-2 zoning if they are camouflaged. Towers not meeting those requirements would
require a major PUD amendment and public hearing.
District Commissioner Carey stated with
regard to Item K of the D.O., currently there are no sidewalks along
Planning Manager, Tony Walter, addressed
the Board to advise since there are no sidewalks on
Charlie Madden, representing the developer,
addressed the Board to state they are in agreement with the staff’s
recommendation and the development order with a couple of minor changes. He said the first is with regard to Item C
regarding the communication towers and they would like to include Mr. Hopper’s
comments regarding same in the D.O. He
also said that they would like the ability to serve alcoholic beverages as an
ancillary use if a sandwich shop come into the project. With regard to Item D, prohibiting outdoor
advertising signs, he advised that currently there is a billboard on the site
that has been grandfathered in and he wants to make it clear that they are not
required to take that down. He stated
that with regard to Item K (sidewalks), they will be putting internal sidewalks
in; however, there are no sidewalks on Orange Boulevard to connect to and they
would like that requirement to be stricken.
Chairman Henley stated that under the billboard
policy, a grandfathered sign can remain until it comes down and at that point,
it cannot be replaced.
No one else spoke in support or in
opposition.
District Commissioner Carey recommended
striking Item K (sidewalks on
Motion
by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to adopt
Ordinance #2005-49, as shown on page _______, approving Small Scale Land Use
Amendment from Commercial to Industrial on approximately 9.9 acres; and adopt

(Agriculture) to PUD (Planned Unit Development District) on approximately 22.3
acres, located on the south side of Orange Boulevard, 800 feet west of I-4,
Michael J. Good, based on staff findings; and approval of Development Order, as
shown on page _______, as amended, regarding Item C (communication tower language)
and striking Item K regarding sidewalks.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Chairman Henley advised of letter from
Chairman Ben Tucker of the Charter Review Commission requesting BCC direction
on a proposal for the rural area amendment that came up during the last CRC
meeting. He said because this matter is
in litigation, he does not believe it would be wise to make any revisions to
it.
Mr. McMillan stated he would rather have
the direction of the Fifth District Court of Appeals before changing anything
in the amendment.
Commissioner Morris agreed, stating he
believes it would be premature for the CRC to debate this issue.
Commissioner Dallari stated he believes
they should wait until the decision of the Court and then, if necessary, go
back to the voters.
The consensus
of the Board was to send a letter to the CRC advising them the BCC does not
believe it is timely to discuss the rural area amendment because of it being in
litigation.
Ben Tucker, CRC Chairman, addressed the
Board to state during his time serving on the CRC, he does not recall the
question of coming to the BCC for permission to review an issue. He said he is in attendance as CRC Chairman
and the majority vote of the CRC.
Chairman Henley stated a letter will be
drafted advising the CRC of the Board’s consensus on this issue.

Chairman Henley noted UCF’s endeavor to
secure a medical school and that
Motion
by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to contribute
$100,000 toward UCF’s medical school.
Under discussion, Commissioner Carey
questioned when the money would be given.
Commissioner Dallari clarified the motion that
a letter of intent will be sent specifying that the County will contribute up
to $100,000. He also suggested Chairman
Henley attend the appropriate meetings in
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
