REGULAR
AGENDA
Tony
Matthews, Planning, addressed the Board to request authorization for the
Planning & Development Director to schedule and advertise public hearings
for the Board of County Commissioners and Planning & Zoning (P&Z) Commission
to amend existing provisions of the Land Development Code (LDC) of Seminole
County; and to adopt new provisions to the LDC to implement the requirements of
the Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey relative to whether or not staff is addressing
the prohibition of applying fertilizers to keep the plantings away from the
natural areas, Mr. Matthews advised they have two options, one is to pull it
from the ordinance all together or staff could look at the best management
practices for the existing landscaping code requirements and come back with an additional
proposal.
Commissioner
Carey stated she feels a separate item addressing fertilizers near natural
water body areas needs to be in the code.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded
by Commissioner Carey to authorize scheduling and advertising public hearings
for the Planning & Zoning (P&Z) Commission and Board of County
Commissioners to amend existing provisions of the Land Development Code (LDC)
of Seminole County; and to adopt new provisions to the LDC to implement the
requirements of the Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act.
Under
discussion, Mr. Matthews advised staff is recommending scheduling the P&Z
public hearing on December 6, and the BCC public hearing on December 12, 2006.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
April
Boswell, Planning Manager, addressed the Board to present request to approve
the Final Master Plan and Developer’s Commitment Agreement for the Gunter Village
PUD, consisting of 12.20+/- acres located on the west side of International
Parkway, north of the intersection of Colonial Center Parkway and International
Parkway, and south of the intersection of Pebble Ridge Lane and International
Parkway, Kimley-Horn/Jonathan Martin.
She submitted a copy of supplementary information (received and filed) that
was discussed at the rezoning hearing.
She said the smallest unit being proposed is 750 sq. ft. and the largest
woodwork unit will be combined with two bays of floor area, to be approximately
3,000 sq. ft. She referred to Item D of
the landscape/buffer criteria of the developer’s commitment agreement and
advised staff is recommending that this item be pulled as it is a requirement
of the code.
Commissioner
Morris stated he feels staff should make sure this is submitted to the City of
Lake Mary and City of
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded
by Commissioner Morris to approve the Final Master Plan and Developer’s
Commitment Agreement, as shown on page _________, and authorize the Chairman to

LLC.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari,
seconded by Commissioner Morris to approve and authorize Chairman to execute
the Landfill Gas Purchase Agreement, as shown on page ________, with Seminole
Energy Systems, LLC.
Under
discussion, Commissioner Carey stated she would like to know what the cost will
be for reimbursement for environmental liability coverage and what the final
interconnect amount will be with Florida Power and Light.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Robert McMillan,
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Janet
Davis, Human Resources Director; Marie Fox, Human Resources; and Dr. Jeffrey Ling,
Evergreen Solutions, addressed the Board to request the Board adopt the
recommendations as presented by Evergreen Solutions, LLC in the Performance
Management Report Update.
Dr.
Ling displayed a PowerPoint Presentation on the update of the Performance
Management relating to the following: Our
Approach, What We Learned; and Series of Recommendations (10).
Chairman
Henley asked when will the Board have an opportunity to have a presentation on
how the automated system operates.
Ms.
Coto advised she believes it is part of the J.D. Edwards system and has not
been activated.
Marie
Fox, Human Resources, addressed the Board to advise there are two modules in
the J.D. Edwards software, one is performance management and the other is for
competency management. They are
underutilized at this time and staff is interested in having a consultant to
help them populate the data fields so they can automate this entire process.
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Henley, Ms. Fox advised they will be able to see the data fields
and other information about the system.
Commissioner
Morris stated the County is paying for it and it will cost them to bring in a
consultant.
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Henley, Ms. Fox
advised the Clerk owns the system; therefore, it would have to go on her server.
Chairman
Henley stated he would like to see what the cost will be to buy that particular
package instead of having to go through the Clerk’s system.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Ms. Fox
advised they currently have two consultants that they use. They use CFS for payroll implementation in
the system, and they also have MindSet who helps them with the reports that are
generated from the system and those costs are included.
Dr.
Ling stated his staff was asked to review what other jurisdictions are doing
regarding similar implementation, and they found that the costs are competitive
of what other jurisdictions have paid.
Chairman
Henley requested to see that report.
Commissioner
Dallari asked what the additional cost would be if this is placed on the
County’s server and not the Clerk’s server.
Ms.
Fox advised she will review that and bring it back to the Board.
Commissioner
Morris stated he feels they have an excellent recommendation as this has been
one of the better processes in terms of the information submitted by Evergreen. He stated he would recommend that they strike
this one portion and staff come back in December for a separate vote on this
analysis, but still move forward with the program package.
Commissioner
Carey stated obviously there is tremendous amount of training that needs to
take place and she would like to know if staff is planning to do that over the
next year. She asked if staff has any
idea what the cost will be and who is going to do the training.
Dr.
Ling stated the current contract with Evergreen would cover the training
process and that would engage a 60 day period to train the managers. They would provide the tools for the Human
Resources’ staff to train the employees.
He stated at this point, he estimates the first training cycle would
occur from January to March, and the second would occur during the late summer.
Ms.
Coto stated Human Resources will be fully responsible for the ongoing training
and monitoring of this program.
Chairman
Henley stated the training would be a continuous ongoing process from
year-to-year as there is always a turn over in staff.
Dr.
Ling stated his goal is to train the staff in Human Resources and each of them
would be prepared to maintain the system without Evergreen’s assistance.
Janet
Davis, Human Resources Director, informed Commissioner Carey that the full-time
professional position would be a new position and they would conduct the
training as well as monitoring the system to make sure that evaluations and
reports are being accomplished.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Dr. Ling advised he is recommending that they
approach the supervisors first and then the employees at a later date.
Ms.
Coto stated implementation would take effect on October 1, 2007 so they can
ensure that the managers, directors, supervisors and employees would be fully
trained and that they understand the ground rules. She stated she feels it is essential that
they are going to have a system that the Board and she desires to effectively
evaluate the overall organization; then training is the most important
component.
Chairman
Henley stated he is not convinced that they need to hire another individual to
take this on as they already have a training position available. He stated he doesn’t understand why they
can’t reassign work.
Ms.
Coto stated she feels it is essential to have a full-time individual to do the
training and monitoring in order to effectively execute this program. She stated she feels they have huge gaps of
areas that they have not effectively provided the managers or directors with
the tools they need to appropriately execute their positions.
Commissioner
Carey stated she feels that, in the first year of this, they have to have the
training. It may make more sense to have
a consultant during the first year to train the managers rather than taking it
on as a full-time position.
Ms.
Coto stated the County may end up expending more money by hiring a consultant
to do the training rather than a staff member.
Chairman
Henley stated he will not be supporting a new position for this until they
explore other ways of doing it.
Dr.
Ling continued by reviewing the Implementation slide.
Commissioner
Morris stated the total evaluation on the pay scale system was done nine or ten
years ago. The performance management is
another move by the Board to move forward with a pay system that would encourage
people to perform more and to stay with the County. This is a more efficient system in money
spent and it is a great recommendation. He
said that by slashing this to 2% for bonuses and 3% for cost-of-living, staff
has basically deincentivized the whole process.
Ms.
Coto stated the intent today is for the Board to approve the concept as it
relates to having a three-prong system with respect to recognition of
performance. The actual dollars and percentages
will be brought to the Board through the budget process.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated the Board has addressed this issue numerous times and now
they are at the starting gate. He stated
he feels there are some issues where they don’t know what the cost is, but they
need to move forward with Ms. Coto’s recommendations. He said he doesn’t see how they can turn down
the new position recommended by the
Commissioner
Carey stated she is in favor of the concept that is presented, but approving
the compensation recommendation does not do what they are trying to
accomplish. She stated she feels the
Board can approve this in concept and bring back the details in December as to
how they want to approach it.
Commissioner
Morris stated the implementation part will be coming back next year and it can
be cancelled if the numbers don’t work. The
Board can approve the concept and staff bring back the other material to the
Board.
Commissioner
Carey stated Dr. Ling will be starting the training process, but if she was an
employee, what would motivate her is knowing what the potential is and to spell
out the importance of the compensation.
Chairman
Henley stated he has no problem with the concept they are working on.
Commissioner
Dallari stated they need to break it down in three groups.
Commissioner
Morris stated this system is going to be cheaper than the current budget
system. He stated he feels they will be
taking money away from the employees if they drop it to two or three percent. The Board should set a parameter decision on
Dr. Ling’s recommendation.
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded
by Commissioner Dallari to approve the performance management study in concept;
move forward with the training process of the Performance Management Study
Implementation; and come back to the Board with the J.D. Edwards cost, the
percentages that the compensation policy would be, and the comparison of an
internal employee versus a consultant to do the first year of training.
Under
discussion, Commissioner Morris asked the motion-maker to accept the
percentages as the perimeters to start with.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
The
Board voiced no objections to moving
Item #54, 2007 Scottish Highland Games Agreement, to 1:30 p.m.
Chairman
Henley stated Item #55, CDBG History Preservation of Hopper Academy, will be
continued.
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Henley, Ms. Coto advised she will check to see if this item
is time sensitive and if it is, she will schedule it for the December
meeting. If not, it will be scheduled
for the January meeting.

-------
Don
Fisher, Deputy County Manager, addressed the Board to request additional allocation
of $600,000 as
Commissioner
Carey stated the big concern she has is turning over the management of a public
pool to a third party. The Lake Mary
Aquatic organization will be operating this pool and they operate three
different aquatic organizations and will be controlling the schedule, and she
cannot support that.
Commissioner
Morris stated the County will do an interlocal agreement relative to the land
and they will determine if this will be a lease or a title transfer. A second agreement will be worked out with
the School Board on the usage and operation of hours.
Commissioner
Carey stated the School Board is not putting any money into this except for the
maintenance cost. She stated how the
School Board deals with this is going to be an issue. She added that TDC dollars might be another
funding option.
Chairman
Henley stated one thing the Board needs to be sensitive to is allowing
individuals using public facilities for personal gain.
Commissioner
Carey stated she doesn’t have a problem with supporting a community pool, but she
feels having a third party operating it is wrong. Discussion ensued.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded
by Commissioner Dallari to authorize an additional allocation of $600,000 as
Commissioner
Carey clarified that the agreement will come back to the BCC for final
approval.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner
Morris left the meeting at this time.

Bobby
Brantley, Brantley & Associates, addressed the Board to review the top
Legislative priorities for the 2007 State Legislative Session as outlined in
the agenda memorandum.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Jerry McCollum,
Commissioner
Carey stated the county charter transit system surtax generates a large amount
of money and she feels that should be a top priority.
Commissioner
Morris reentered the meeting at this time.
Chairman
Henley instructed Mr. Brantley to focus on all the priority issues listed.
Commissioner
Morris stated it has been a pleasure working with Mr. Brantley.

The

for the 2007 Scottish Highland Games and seek authorization for the Chairman to
execute the Agreement. A copy of the
memorandum to the BCC from County Manager Cindy Coto was received and
filed. Ms. Bunn stated the requested
amount went from $25,000 from past years to $50,000 this year, and the Tourist
Development Council did approve that.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Steve Russell addressed the Board to state he
believes they will attract this year more room nights than there is capacity in
Mr.
Russell answered questions by Chairman Henley.
He advised they had a cancellation from one of the bands. The city of
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Ms. Bunn explained how staff tracks how many
rooms are in the area. Whereupon,
Commissioner Carey said she thinks there needs to be a better mechanism for
tracking all events.
Commissioner
Dallari said he agrees and part of his complaint was that in the past, his room
was not accounted for.
Ms.
Bunn said the Event Coordinator also does surveys, but staff can work on an
incentive plan for the hoteliers to be more accountable for the rooms. Discussion ensued.
Ms.
Bunn advised Chairman Henley that her recommendation is to add the $25,000
because of the room nights. She said
there will be slippage over to
Chairman
Henley said he personally cannot support the $50,000 or $40,000, but he would
support the same amount the BCC has been funding. Next year, he thinks it would be helpful if
they would coordinate if there are going to be rooms because if the rooms are
already booked this will not do what the Board would like them to do.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated what potential this event brings. He read that there is super potential for
this event as compared to events they’re holding in other parts of the country. He asked what is the County doing or not
doing that they are not realizing all that potential.
Ms.
Bunn stated a lot of the marketing is occurring in
Commissioner
Dallari asked what is being done with the advertising dollars.
Mr.
Russell stated they amended the request to $40,000 and amended the room nights
to 3,000. They are being conservative,
but thought that would be a more realistic sounding number, although they think
they will exceed that. He said they are
expanding their advertisement this year because of the event. They have focused advertising in the past
with
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Ms. Bunn stated she thinks this is a
signature event if they can work to redo the advertising and work to get the
event on a weekend when they have rooms available.
Commissioner
Dallari said he believes this could be that signature event Commissioner Van
Der Weide is talking about. He said this
one band is known worldwide. He believes
they will have quite a few room nights well above last year.
Commissioner
Carey said she thinks they can’t talk about this event without tying
Chairman
Henley said he thinks the Board needs to continue to support them but not at
this level. They don’t know for sure
what the return is going to be.
Commissioner
Morris stated he met with the people who put this event on and it is big fun
for families. The request is now at $40,000. They have increased their marketing and are
bringing this band in. He asked would it
be appropriate to try to split the difference to maybe increase the funding a
little.
Chairman
Henley said he thinks $25,000 is quite a commitment to this organization. He thinks they advertise every year and he
has not compared this year’s advertising to last year’s to see what adjustments
have been made. When he looks at the
proposed tax return, he does not think it justifies this going to the $50,000
rate.
Mr.
Russell advised Commissioner Dallari that no one profits from their
proceeds. After paying all their bills,
they plow all excess revenue back into the games the following years. He said by the time the games happen, there
are more bills than money and they take the risk early on to make sure they
grow these games every year.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated this event has been here 10 years and he is questioning
whether the BCC is approaching this as something they really want. If it is, they are talking about a few
dollars. He is suggesting if this is the
potential to be the event that they want to have in
Commissioner
Dallari said he thinks this event does have that potential and they will see it
this year.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari,
seconded by Commissioner Carey, to approve and authorize the Chairman to
execute the Agreement, as shown on page _______, with the Scottish-American
Society of Central Florida, Inc. in the amount of $40,000 for the 2007 Scottish
Highland Games.
Under
discussion, Chairman Henley said if you look at the financial statement, the
Society’s budget is $74,427 and this event is supposed to provide them
$31,000. He is questioning whether the
Board needs to make that commitment or not until it grows better. Discussion ensued.
Commissioner
Morris said the Society is plowing the money back in.
Commissioner
Carey said Mr. Russell stated that they went through some times where they
almost went bankrupt. Also, she can’t
think of any family event that has been reoccurring in this community every
year, except for the Scottish/Highland Games.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he is looking for experiences that the residents can enjoy
and this is definitely a family event.
Districts
1, 2, 3 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner
Henley stated NAY.
Commissioner
Carey stated one point Commissioner Morris brought up is when was the last time
the Board looked at the tourist development proceeds brought in.
Chairman
Henley said they had set a goal at one time of maintaining at least $1
million. They didn’t have any vision or
long-term goal for the money other than to keep shoveling it out. They are not doing anything to build the
kitty in order to try to help get it done through partnerships or anything
else. At this point in time, they are
just looking for things to give money to and put it back.

US 17-92 CRA TARGET ZONE HEIGHT
ALTERNATIVE STANDARDS ORDINANCE
Proof
of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to
consider adoption of an Ordinance for the U.S. 17-92 Community Redevelopment
Area Target Zone Height Alternative Standards, amending the Land Development
Code to create an option available in designated target zones within the CRA
whereby additional height may be achieved if established design standards are
met, received and filed.
Jeff
Hopper, Senior Planner, addressed the Board to present the request, stating the
P&Z Commission voted unanimously on November 1, 2006, to recommend
approval. He advised that Development
Review would like to change the travel lane width (page 13 of the ordinance) to
12’. He said the Public Safety and
Planning staffs have no objections to that.
The Planning staff is recommending approval of the ordinance, as
amended.
Commissioner
Carey discussed the colors named in the ordinance and suggested not saying what
colors are included because they would miss hundreds of choices, but put in the
ordinance the colors to exclude and then the rest come naturally.
April
Boswell, Planning Director, addressed the Board to state staff could describe
the earth tones so it is not so restricted in the ordinance.
Commissioner
Carey said as they go through and amend the Land Development Code, they have to
address floor ratios as regards to these heights. She said that needs to be addressed sooner
than later, once this ordinance is approved.
Also, the concurrency issue needs to be addressed.
No
one spoke in support or in opposition.
Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide,

described in the proof of publication.
Under
discussion, Ms. Boswell asked if the Board wants staff to clarify the wording
in the ordinance so that it is not so restrictive on the colors.
Commissioner
Carey said staff will leave in the colors that can’t be used and further define
what “earth tone” colors are. Commissioner
Morris suggested wording it as “colors such as, etc.”

SMALL SCALE FLU AMENDMENT AND
REZONE/MIKE TOWERS
Proof
of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to
consider adoption of a Small Scale Future Land Use Amendment from Low Density
Residential (LDR) to Medium Density (MDR) and a rezone from A-1 (Agriculture)
to PUD (Planned Unit Development) on 3.8+/- acres located on the north side of
Longwood Hills Road and west of CR 427, Mike Towers, received and filed.
Mr.
Rumer presented the request and noted a change to the zoning map that the
property on the east side of the site has been annexed into the city of
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Henley, County Engineer Jerry McCollum addressed the Board
to advise the driveway is probably 1,200 to 1,300 feet from the road. Whereupon, Chairman Henley said the distance
from the major road is what concerns him.
Commissioner
Morris stated that is a 140 foot right-of-way and it is probably 800 feet from
the driveway to the intersection at the subject site.
The
Board discussed the annexation of the property.
Ms. Boswell stated she believes the annexation was done last year and there
was probably just a delay in getting the Property Appraiser’s records updated
to reflect that.
Matt
West, Ivey Planning Group,
Chairman
Henley explained his displeasure with information made available to him at the
last moment. He asked if the applicant’s
intent is to annex into Longwood and everything he has done is approved by
Longwood, then why does the County staff have to spend their time on this. He asked why the applicant is not going ahead
with Longwood so he does not have two staffs tied up. He said the intent of the interlocal agreement
is when the property changes hands. He
said according to the information, this property changed hands in March 20,
2006, but the deed has not been recorded yet.
He thinks the applicant is taking advantage of a phrase in the
agreement, which does not keep with the intent of when the property changes
hands. He asked Mr. Towers why did he
not go ahead and annex when he bought the property, rather than tying up the
County staff.
Mr.
Towers explained that the city of
Chairman
Henley stated he raised this issue because he wanted to make a point. He said the County has a local agreement with
the cities with the intent that when property changes hands, it will
automatically go in. They have a phrase
that they have upon registration. He
wants the Board to change this phrase.
There is no time limit on when they have to register a deed. He said he doesn’t like to see that a city,
where an enclave is involved, is going to have to live with the decision the
County makes whether the city agrees or not.
He added he feels Mr. Towers manipulated the system.
Mr.
McMillan clarified his discussion early on to Commissioner Morris. He said he was not providing any advice to
Mr. Towers but talked about what the interlocal agreement provides. He said it is a risky thing to not record the
deed because someone else could do so and then Mr. Towers would not own the
property. It would not be proper to
change the terms of the interlocal because recording of the deed is something
he thinks the Property Appraiser would get antsy about if forced to track some
non-activity. The Board doesn’t have to
wait for the property to be recorded.
They can enter into an agreement with the City the day that property is
annexed immediately if they think someone is playing the system. He said he doesn’t know if the Board wants to
change the mechanism that triggers annexation automatically.
Commissioner
Carey stated her concern is that the County’s annexation agreement has a
loophole. She said the transfer of
ownership has occurred whether the deed is recorded or not.
Mr.
McMillan stated if the Board believes it to be an issue, they could enter into
an agreement with Longwood today and say it is effective today. Staff could talk to the City and Property
Appraiser if they want to change that date, but he thinks they will want to
leave it alone rather than try to learn about a recurring annexation.
Commissioner
Morris stated there is litigation occurring now on this. With this particular property owner, there is
no smoke and no fire. The City
Commission is split on this issue and litigation is occurring. The property owner clearly has a problem with
staff and management. The property
ultimately has to transfer and Mr. Towers is at risk and he knows it. He has made his decision to do it this
way. The other thing they did not
anticipate was that the County is being manipulated by a jurisdiction. This is an isolated, particular situation
they are dealing with.
Mr.
Towers stated they had a traffic study done and they are approximately 230 feet
over the threshold by DOT. They also
came to the County with regard to this question. It was a concern they had and there was a
question whether they would move in a certain direction or not. They thought they had an understanding
originally on why they would not do this in Longwood. He said no one is complaining. It is their concern about how they proceed.
Commissioner
Carey said she understands all the situations Mr. Towers has with
Longwood. It is disappointing that when
you have these agreements in place that someone is working through the
process. The fact the County has this
agreement and has allowed this to happen, she thinks it may not be setting the
best example.
Robert
Brobst,
Chairman
Henley advised of two Written Comment Forms from Patsy Alderson and Janis Liro.
At
the request of Commissioner Morris, Planning & Development Director Dori
Debord, Larry Goldman, Building Director, and Brian Potts, Development Review
Manager, addressed the Board to answer questions. Ms. Debore stated Mr. Goldman has a list of
all the permits that have been issued on this project.
Mr.
Goldman advised that only one building permit was issued on the wall. It was inspected and does meet the minimum
standards of the Florida Building Code.
Mr.
Potts said he had a copy of the noncompliance letter and staff has called
Commissioner
Morris asked Mr. Potts if he has seen any duplicity because of the error that
staff made, and he answered no.
Ms.
Debord stated permits issued were based on what the property owner could do on
single-family property at that time.
Mr.
Goldman said the footers had been revised to meet the new requirements. They did pass inspection and meet the
code. He believes the tallest point of
the wall is 11 feet along Mr. Brobst’s point.
DCM
Don Fisher addressed the Board to advise the property was zoned agricultural
and there is no height restriction on agricultural zoning.
Janis
Liro, 361 Lazy Acres Lane, addressed the Board to state she lives in the area
and has seen this property get totally demolished and destroyed. She was told this was the beginning to have
the property rezoned and she heard rumors that the applicant was going to do
condominiums. She said this is appalling
what has been done to this property and she is hearing now this has been
allowed without the deed being recorded yet.
It is appalling to think condos fit into this area. Also, she said there is a very dangerous
curve in the area already. She said she
doesn’t have a lot of confidence that the County is monitoring what is
happening here.
Commissioner
Morris asked Ms. Liro if she was aware of what the Commission did, that they
have been responsible, particularly with Lazy Acres. He said for six years the County has defended
this neighborhood against Longwood. He
said he hopes she will put that into context with this parcel that is next to
the former AT&T tower, which is a commercially-zoned property. He said these are townhomes and the same
property under agricultural exemption could have been cleared lawfully. The wetlands will be protected by the St.
Johns River Water Management District.
Those same things would have occurred in Longwood on that piece of
property. He said this is the same
Longwood the
Ms.
Liro stated she appreciates what the
Mr.
Towers gave rebuttal comments concerning the other neighboring subdivisions;
the cost of this project; height of the wall; the permits; the question of why
they are not annexed into the City; the question of the tree roots; their
letter in receipt from the St. Johns District; the annexation agreement; and
Mr. Brobst’s interest in this project.
No
one else spoke in support or in opposition.
The
Speaker Request Form for Mr. Brobst was received and filed.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. Potts advised staff talked to
Commissioner
Carey stated she hopes that any staff who were here that helped Mr. Towers
circumvent the system is not still with the County. She knows he has not gone outside the letter
of the law but outside the intent. She
is very disappointed with the way this was handled by the County’s staff.
Chairman
Henley said he shares a lot of those comments and this is very distasteful to
him. He thinks there has been some
manipulation going on, but the applicant has not violated the law; and the fact
is he has not had anyone, other than Mr. Brobst, approach him in
opposition. Therefore, he will recommend
approval.
Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide,
seconded by Commissioner Morris, to enact Ordinance #2006-78, as shown on page
_______, adopting a Small Scale Land Use Amendment from Low Density Residential
(LDR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR); and enact Ordinance #2006-79, as
shown on page _______, rezoning from A-1 (Agriculture) to PUD (Planned Unit
Development) 3.8+/- acres located on the north side of Longwood Hills Road and

Commissioner
Morris stated he hopes the comments of Commissioners Henley and Carey are well
taken. He hopes Mr. Towers moves this
process through the city of
Chairman
Henley stated he hopes this is an isolated case also. He said the
Commissioner
Dallari stated Mr. McMillan did say he could probably look into a different
type catalyst to transfer this.
Whereupon, Mr. McMillan said he could discuss it with Mr. Towers, but he
thinks it is better off to leave things as is and have staff to set a limit on
the transfer, and if it is not recorded, the Board could then consider whether
they want to amend the agreement.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide left the meeting at this time.
Ms.
Coto advised the Board that all the players who the Board heard from today were
not involved in this.
Commissioner
Carey said this is a bad example of how to go about doing development business
and she doesn’t want to see this happen again.
Chairman
Henley said he thinks Ms. Coto has made it plain that if a situation comes up
where staff becomes aware of an enclave, they will call it to the Board’s
attention.

Commissioner
Morris stated there will be an additional recommendation coming from Standard
& Poor’s. For the first time, they
are giving the County an AA rating for their general obligation. The County has not been rated before. He urged all of the Commissioners to read the
Moody write-up, which is extensive and compares the County to four other
counties. He said they asked them for
that direct comparison. He said the Citi
Corp folks will be happy to brief the Board on that. The write-up for Standard & Poor’s has
not come out yet. It explains why they
have great confidence in the County. He
said the County is not going to make an AAA rating. The next step would be to get a plus
rating. He thinks it’s a great
rating. He said he hopes the
Commissioners read it and then if they have any questions about it, Citi Corp
can answer their questions. He again
complimented the staff, Citi Corp and Gary Akers.
