Agenda Item
#3 – 2019-1772
Michael Griffin, Homeless
Services Network, Board Chairman, and Martha Are, Homeless Services Network,
CEO, provided a Central Florida Commission on Homelessness/Continuum of Care
Alignment presentation (copy received and filed).
Ms. Guillet discussed
the County’s concern with accountability and data collection as it pertains to
homelessness. She explained the
restructure of the Commission on Homelessness and the CoC. Commissioner Lockhart stated by continuing to
have this issue worked on in a new format, it is really going to help many
families through their time of homelessness.
Commissioner Carey commented she believes they can accomplish more by
working together, especially on the funding side.
CONSENT AGENDA
With
regard to public participation in connection with Item #18, Enclave at Alafaya Apartments, Bill Hyde, 2379 Audley Street, spoke in
opposition. With regard to public
participation in connection with Item #27, Golf Cart Code Amendment, the
following spoke in support: Blaine
Darrah, 1624 Cherry Ridge Drive; John McKee, 345 Ashford Court; John Omana, no address provided; Phillip Taylor, 344 Nebraska
Avenue; and Rob Dello Russo, 3101 Legacy View Cove.
No
one else in the audience spoke in regard to the Consent Agenda, and public
input was closed.
Public Comment Forms were received and filed.
Ms.
Guillet announced she has no changes to the Consent Agenda other than the
ministerial changes that were distributed.
Commissioner
Carey requested Items #27, Golf Cart Code Amendment, and #28, Resolution
Rolling Hills Golf Carts, be pulled for a
separate discussion. She distributed
photos of Wekiva Hunt Club (received and filed). The Commissioner commented on Item #41,
Seminole County Land Development Code Rewrite and BAR #20-018. She advised they just went through the budget
process and they knew they were rewriting the Land Development Code. When they know they have a project of such
magnitude coming down the pipe right after they adopt the budget, they should
have included it in the budget.
Commissioner
Lockhart requested Item #45, Project Management Services for Infrastructure
Sales Tax and Other Funding Services, be pulled
for a separate discussion. The Commissioner
commented on Item #8, Committee on Aging.
She stated her comment relates to a larger discussion about committees
that the Board puts into place over time and then their purpose changes or
their mission ebbs and flows. She is
happy to appoint the four new representatives; but at some point, they should
revisit their work and whether or not they have a mission that is fulfilling
for them and also purposeful for the community.
Commissioner
Dallari requested Item #35, BAR #20-020 – Sand Lake Road and CR 419 Projects, be
pulled for a separate discussion.

Consent Agenda Item #27 – 2019-1733
Resolution
Amending Section 34 of the Administrative Code
Commissioner Carey asked where the age
recommendation for driving a golf cart next to a state road came from. Ms. Guillet answered the age is enumerated in
the state statute, but it’s irrespective of what sort of facility it’s adjacent
to. Commissioner Carey stated the design
standards that are in the ordinance are based on whether or not someone is adjacent
to a state road. It is a state statute,
plus requirements from FDOT where if you’re adjacent to a state road, they
require an eight-foot sidewalk.
Commissioner Carey asked if they adopt the ordinance
as it is now, and they want to make the age requirement 16, could they just do
that as part of their process. She
explained the difference between a resolution and an ordinance. Ms. Guillet explained the resolution came
from a work session they had. Staff
proposed a golf cart ordinance, but the Board didn’t want an ordinance. They wanted to deal with it on a case-by-case
basis, but they wanted procedure so that everybody understood, which is why staff
proposed doing it as an Admin Code revision.
This is a resolution that sets up the guidelines. The state statute has certain provisions
including the age of 14. If the Board
wants to do something different from the state statute, they have to do it by
ordinance and it can only apply to unlicensed drivers.
Commissioner Carey confirmed with Ms.
Guillet that if they adopt the resolution as written, they can veer from it if
they want to change the age, the width of the sidewalk, whatever they want to
do. It just triggers it whether it’s a
resolution or ordinance. Given that,
Commissioner Carey explained she doesn’t have an issue adopting the resolution
which gives them the most flexibility.
Motion
by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Lockhart, to approve and
authorize the Chairman to execute appropriate Resolution #2019-R-205 amending
the Seminole County Administrative Code, Section 34, Public Works Department,
to add Section 34.30, Use of Golf Carts on Designated County Facilities, to
provide formal policies and procedures concerning the use of golf carts on
County designated roads and sidewalks.
(2019-1733)
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
Consent Agenda Item #28 – 2019-1775
Resolution
Allowing Golf Cart Use in Rolling Hills
Commissioner Carey stated in the case of
Rolling Hills, the golf carts are on the road with cars, and she thinks that is
an important scenario to have licensed drivers.
She believes the age requirement for Rolling Hills should be 16 and they
should be licensed drivers, and she has the same recommendation for Item
#53. If the rest of the Board concurs
with that, then the resolution would need to come back at the next meeting as
an ordinance.
Commissioner Lockhart advised the need for 14-year-olds
to drive a golf cart when they’re playing golf to get from hole to hole if they
are crossing a public right-of-way is important. She isn’t opposed if the majority of the
Board wants to up the age to 16 where they are sharing the roadway. She would like to go ahead and try it where
they are in alignment with the state law; and if it appears that there are
issues, then they can take it up and look at it. At this point, she isn’t sure there’s a need
to deviate from state law. Commissioner
Dallari agreed he doesn’t have an issue with trying it and seeing how it works
out.
Commissioner Carey reminded there is no
golf course at Rolling Hills.
Commissioner Constantine stated in regards to Rolling Hills
specifically, he is fine with the proposed resolution. Chairman Zembower advised there are people of
all ages that perhaps shouldn’t be driving anything. He has a concern with a 14-year-old operating
a golf cart in a non-golf course environment.
He would concur that if they were going from Point A to Point B in a golf
cart to play golf, that’s one thing. A
non-licensed driver in a golf cart on a public roadway is concerning to him as
well as a cart passing in and around any County property.
Commissioner Constantine explained Items
#27 and #28 are basically adopting a resolution. If they change the age to 16 for either
location, or any place else, then they would have to do an ordinance. Approving this item doesn’t change the fact
that they would have to do an ordinance to change the age to 16 one way or
another.
Motion
by Commissioner Constantine, seconded by Commissioner Lockhart, to approve
and authorize the Chairman to execute appropriate Resolution #2019-R-206
allowing golf cart operations in the Rolling Hills residential area by
identifying certain streets as a Designated County Facility in accordance with
the Seminole County Administrative Code Section 34.30, Use of Golf Carts on
Designated County Facilities.
(2019-1775)
Under discussion, Commissioner Carey asked
if they could monitor the situation and come back in a year or six months and
revisit because if the Sheriff’s Department or others experience that they are
having issues, the County needs to know.
Commissioner Constantine amended the motion to include
revisiting the item in six months, and Commissioner Lockhart agreed to the amendment.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner Constantine advised his
approval of this item was not necessarily to suggest that they don’t do an
ordinance. He could be persuaded that
that might be the right thing to do, but he thinks the amendment is acceptable
at this point.
Consent Agenda Item #35 – 2019-1774
BAR #20-020/$170,000/Sand Lake Road and Snowhill Road
Commissioner Dallari pointed out there are
two projects in this item. He thinks the
turn lane at Sand Lake and West Lake Brantley is a good project. His issue is extending the merge lane at 419
and Snowhill.
The Commissioner wants to make sure they’re not pushing the problem down
the road and making a bigger issue, so he would like more information regarding
that project. He would like to remove
that project from the Budget Amendment Request.
Chairman Zembower advised his concern with
419 and Snowhill is if they are going to run the
merge down to 4th street, it’s a merge through a huge radius curve
which then is going to cease right where the traffic coming out of Orange
County all collides. He is not
comfortable with the Snowhill Road project.
Motion
by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Constantine, to approve and
authorize the Chairman to execute appropriate Resolution #2019-R-211
implementing Budget Amendment Request (BAR) #20-020 through the West Collector
Impact Fee Fund in the amount of $170,000 to establish the Sand Lake Road at
West Brantley Road Turn Lane project, and remove
the CR 419 at Snowhill Road Merge Lane Project, for a
total of $170,000 from Reserves.
(2019-1774)
Under discussion, Commissioner Carey stated
the funding that’s being proposed is wiping out the east and west impact fee
dollars. In their discussions about
mobility fees and things like that, they really need to look at impact fees. She asked why they would stop collecting them
east, west, and north because a lot of the growth is happening in the north and
the east. They just continue to lose
those dollars the longer they wait to put something back in place.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
Consent Agenda Item #45 – 2019-1590
RFP-2573-19 with Skanska USA Building, Inc.
Under discussion, Commissioner Zembower
asked staff if this is exclusively for infrastructure sales tax needs or if it is
for other projects. Betsy Cohen, Acting
Purchasing and Contracts Manager, addressed the Board and answered this is not
only for sales tax. This particular one
includes other projects as well.
Commissioner Lockhart advised at the last meeting the Board said if they
wanted to make this about other projects that don’t involve the sales tax, they
could look at it; but they brought back the exact same item. Ms. Guillet pointed out if the Board wants to
change it, they can.
Commissioner Carey stated she doesn’t have
an issue supporting the selection if it’s for miscellaneous projects outside of
sales tax. She explained why she
wouldn’t support it if it involves sales tax and noted if they want to modify
the award to take out the sales tax projects, she could support it.
Commissioner Carey asked if they can reduce
the scope of the RFP at this selection and go ahead and do the award for the
other projects that were advertised taking out the sales tax projects. County Attorney Bryant Applegate answered
they can. The problem would be if they
were increasing the services.
Commissioner Carey asked Commissioner Lockhart if she would like to withdraw the motion and make another
motion.
Motion
by Commissioner Lockhart, seconded by
Commissioner Dallari, to award RFP-2573-19/RTB, Project Management Services for
miscellaneous projects, taking out any
project management services related to the Infrastructure Sales Tax, to
Skanska USA Building, Inc., Maitland; and authorize the Purchasing and
Contracts Manager to execute the MSA.
The estimated annual usage is $1,000,000. (2019-1590)
Under discussion, Commissioner Zembower
stated he will not support the motion.
He does not believe in tying the hands of staff, and thinks they should
have at their disposal every ability to leverage contractors who are already
vetted and going through the process.
Districts 1, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

Sheriff’s Office Consent Agenda Item #52
Commissioner Lockhart questioned what the
framework is for some of the donations that are being made. She would like to have an overall discussion
about the use of the funds. The
Commissioner suggested instead of spreading out and sprinkling the money to a
lot of different agencies, they could make a real impact by focusing on two or
three. Chief Lisa Spriggs, Seminole
County Sheriff’s Office, addressed the Board and asked that they approve the
Kid’s House ($50,000) and Midway Safe Harbor Community Center ($25,000)
allocations as both of those are operational donations that the Sheriff’s
Office traditionally makes every year.
Chief Spriggs knows those agencies rely heavily on those donations to
support their services. The other
agencies could be postponed and readdressed in January if that’s the consensus
of the Board.
Commissioner Carey inquired about Safe House
of Seminole, and Chief Spriggs noted it is an essential service, but they don’t
heavily rely on the Sheriff’s donation.
Motion
by Commissioner Carey,
seconded by Commissioner Lockhart, to approve appropriation of $90,000 from
Local Law Enforcement Trust Fund for Fiscal Year 2019/2020 to provide funding
to Kid’s House ($50,000); The Foundation for Seminole County Public Schools:
Midway Safe Harbor Community Center ($25,000), Take Stock in Children ($10,000);
and Safe House of Seminole ($5,000) to assist in crime prevention, safe
neighborhoods, and programs for at-risk populations; and bring back the other
various support organizations within the community for approval at the next
Board meeting. (2019-XXXX)
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
REGULAR AGENDA
Agenda Item #53 – 2019-1789
Markham
Woods Road Golf Carts & Designated County Facilities
Jean
Jreij, Public Works Director, addressed the Board and stated the golf cart
community has requested golf cart use along Markham Woods Road from Alaqua
Drive to Timberbrook Drive with a golf cart crossing at the intersection of
Markham Woods Road and Bridgewater Drive.
He reviewed the request based on the amendment of the Admin Code which
the Board approved today. His
recommendation is to comply with the Admin Code: minimum eight-foot sidewalk, five feet away
from the road, and a four-foot recovery zone on each side. In addition, he recommends installation of
flashing lights at the crossing of Markham Woods and Bridgewater. Mr. Jreij reviewed the memo included in the
agenda backup regarding the community meeting held on November 26.
Commissioner
Carey asked if Mr. Jreij believed it would be a safe crossing to have a simple
sign for golf cart crossing instead of the flashing lights. Mr. Jreij answered the speed limit is 45 MPH
on Markham Woods Road and there is a lot of speeding. His concern with a simple sign is the speed
limit on that road. Commissioner Carey
asked if dropping the speed limit would eliminate the need for a flashing
light. She asked if they could eliminate
the flashing light and put the strobe lights in the asphalt. Mr. Jreij answered they could eliminate the
flashing light. They could change the
speed limit, but they can’t change the behavior of the drivers. They can consider dropping the speed limit
and not put the flashing light and see how it would work.
Commissioner
Carey stated the speed limit has always been 45, there is no crosswalk there,
golf carts have been crossing there for 30 years, and there’s never been an
incident according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Mr. Jreij responded staff is trying to follow best practices and minimum
design standards.
Commissioner
Zembower asked how this would affect, if at all, ADA compliance with
sidewalks. Mr. Jreij answered this would
not affect ADA compliances.
Commissioner
Carey asked Blaine Darrah, Representative for the Heathrow Master Association,
if there is an age requirement for people to drive on the roads in
Heathrow. Mr. Blaine answered the age
requirement inside the Heathrow subdivision gates is 14; although, residents
prefer it would be licensed drivers. The
driving requirement on the golf course is a licensed driver.
Commissioner
Lockhart stated, for clarification, this item is for staff to get direction
from the Board and bring back an ordinance that would establish specific
criteria.
With
regard to public participation, Ryan Fahler, 1200
Bridgewater Drive, and Eugene Curcio, 134 Harston
Court, spoke in support. No one else in
the audience spoke, and public input was closed.
Public
Comment Forms were received and filed.
Commissioner
Carey explained this item is for Board direction on how to write either a
resolution or an ordinance if the majority of the Board is in support. Her recommendation would be to write an
ordinance that would require golf cart drivers to be licensed drivers, allow
them to drive on the five-foot sidewalk that exists today from Alaqua Drive to
Timberbrook Drive, and to put up a simple crossing sign and stripe the road
where the crossings are from Heathrow Woods to the back gate of Heathrow. If the Board supports that, staff can write
the ordinance and bring it back at the next meeting.
Commissioner
Lockhart expressed she feels uneasy making modifications to safety design
standards that engineers have designed.
She agrees that striping the road at golf cart crossings would be
sufficient. The Commissioner stated she
feels the eight-foot sidewalk issue is important, but she also feels like that
shouldn’t be taxpayer dollars paying for it; so maybe it is something that an
MSBU may be appropriate for.
Commissioner
Dallari advised he supports Commissioner Carey’s recommendation. Commissioner Zembower commented he agrees
with Commissioner Lockhart’s comment regarding the sidewalk. He can support Commissioner Carey’s simple
sign and licensed drivers. He can
initially support Commissioner Carey’s recommendation and have staff review it
and come back with what their suggestion is.
Mr.
Applegate assured that he will not sign off on any ordinance that the County
Engineer had concluded would be an unsafe issue. He reminded that the ordinance has to be reviewed
by the State; so before they get into legal questions
about where they can drive and how they can drive, he would like to take a look
at it.
Commissioner
Constantine stated for the most part, he agrees with the recommendations. He asked if Mr. Applegate feels comfortable
putting together an ordinance based on Commissioner Carey’s recommendation, and
Mr. Applegate answered he does and will work with County staff.
Chairman
Zembower asked who is in favor of moving forward with staff direction based on
Commissioner Carey’s recommendation.
Commissioner Lockhart stated what she has heard is that the Board is
comfortable with parts of it but not all of it.
Commissioner Carey announced she will put it in the form of a motion to
make it easier.
Motion by
Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to approve a golf cart
zone from Alaqua Drive to Timberbrook Drive, utilizing the existing five-foot
sidewalk, requiring all drivers of golf carts to be licensed drivers, and
install simple signs and road striping for the golf cart crossing at the back
gate of Heathrow.

1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

INVESTMENT ADVISOR’S REPORT

Managing Director of Hilltop Securities, addressed the Board to present the

Financial Advisor based on the report submitted today and to direct the Clerk
to implement said Board-adopted recommendations.

PUBLIC
HEARINGS
Item #54 – 2019-1761
FY
2019/20 Project Carryforward Budget Amendment
Sara Carrick, Budget and Fiscal Management Division, addressed the
Board to present the request as outlined in the agenda memorandum. Ms. Carrick added the current budget prior to
this agenda for all countywide funds is $841,319,380. If the carryforward budgets are approved in
the amount of $201,097,414, the revised countywide budget would be
$1,042,416,794. This Budget Amendment
Request excludes certain projects tied to grant funds which are carried forward
on a separate agenda item.
Commissioner Lockhart inquired on an update for the Fleet amount. Ms. Guillet responded Fleet was delayed in
the last budget year because they were asked for different options for
purchasing fleet. Staff determined that
the Sheriff’s contracts were the best way for them to go. They started procurement later in the year
than they anticipated because they were looking at different options. They have started procurement on all fleet
included in this fiscal year’s budget, so they will not have the same
carryforward issue next year that they have this year. She confirmed that everything from last year
is in the process as well as what was allocated for this year. Commissioner Carey advised if staff is
budgeting more money than they need, then the Board needs to understand that
because they are making decisions on a global basis on all departments and all
projects; so if there is money that could be swept back into the General Fund,
that needs to happen.
Commissioner Lockhart noted they are trying to get the system in
Public Works and the JD Edwards system to “talk.” She inquired about the timing for that
project. Tim Jecks, Budget Manager,
addressed the Board and answered he’s had a meeting with Public Works and has
been working with Information Services to help bridge those together, and
advised they are ready to go on the financial side. Commissioner Lockhart asked if the program
manager will have a timeline at the March meeting for when it will be
completed. Ms. Guillet responded she
will make sure staff does that. One of
their priorities is trying to build a better project management system for the
infrastructure projects. Commissioner
Lockhart stated she just wants an idea of when the communication gap will be
fixed. Chairman Zembower advised the
Clerk supports the JDE program and they will be working with staff in trying to
get some of those married and working more efficiently.
Commissioner Dallari stated he is hoping to see an overall cost in
regard to fleet. Mr. Jecks advised staff
circulated some financial information.
They have started to deposit all of the sales from the vehicles into the
Fleet Replacement Fund. Commissioner Dallari
discussed fleet warranties and noted he hopes an analysis is done soon as
they’re moving forward with the purchasing of vehicles.
Chairman Carey stated one thing they have talked about with Fleet,
which she thinks would make it a lot more efficient, is putting all Fleet under
the County Manager to be managed as part of her operation rather than being
under various departments.
With regard to public participation, no one in the audience spoke in
support or opposition, and public input was closed.
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Lockhart, to
approve and authorize the Chairman to execute appropriate Resolution
#2019-R-218 implementing Budget Amendment Request (BAR) #20-021 to carryforward
unexpended project budgets and restricted fund balances in the amount of
approximately $200,000,000 from FY 2018/19 to FY 2019/20.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
Item #55 – 2019-1745
Bowles
Estates Lot 2 Conservation Easement Vacate/McLaughlin
Danalee Petyk, Planning and Development Division, addressed the Board
and advised staff is requesting a continuance to the January 14, 2020, BCC
meeting to allow time for staff to review additional information regarding the
vacate.
With regard to public participation, Tom Brahm,
5977 Jessica Drive, spoke in opposition; no one else in the audience spoke in
support or opposition, and public input was closed. Public Comment Form was received and filed.
Commissioner Constantine stated he implores staff to get with the
citizens, and he is more than willing to talk with all sides, but they need to
look at this very closely before it comes back.
Motion by Commissioner Constantine, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to continue to January 14, 2020, at
1:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as possible, the request to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a Resolution
vacating and abandoning a portion of the platted conservation easement on Lot 2
of the Bowles Estates Subdivision, as established in Plat Book 75, Page 43, for
property located on the north side of Jessica Drive, approximately 720 feet
west of Bear Lake Road, and more particularly known as 5968 Jessica Drive,
Apopka; Heath and Mindy McLaughlin
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner Constantine submitted ex parte
communication into the record (received and filed).
Item #56 – 2019-0048
Sipes Fehr Rezone/Steve Fehr
Joy Giles, Planning and Development Division, addressed the Board to
present the request as outlined in the agenda memorandum. She stated staff recommends approval.
Commissioner Carey asked who would provide the utilities to the rural
surrounding areas. She noted the utility
provider is an important part of the JPA with Sanford because they don’t want
people on septic tanks in that area. She
also asked if they will be required to do any improvements to Sipes
Avenue. Ms. Giles answered they are not
required to improve Sipes, but they are required to provide a five-foot
sidewalk on Sipes. They will have to
come in for a PSP and final engineering.
Commissioner Carey advised she wants to make sure that when this is
developed, there is a sidewalk the entire length and that they give enough
right-of-way to make improvements.
Discussion ensued regarding the sidewalk and right-of-way.
Kim Fischer, on behalf of the Applicant, addressed the Board and
discussed Cameron Heights Village B. She
advised they have committed to a sidewalk along that portion of Sipes. Commissioner Constantine asked what the plans
are for road improvements. Ms. Fischer
replied they don’t have to make any improvements to Sipes. They are not coming in as a subdivision and
there are already dwelling units on the property that are being demoed. They are just doing a minor plat with another
driveway, but they will be dedicating 20 feet of additional right-of-way.
Commissioner Carey asked staff if there are improvements to Sipes as
part of the Cameron Heights project.
Chairman Zembower moved into public participation.
With regard to public participation, no one in the audience spoke in
support or opposition, and public input was closed.
Motion
by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Lockhart, to adopt Ordinance
#2019-50 enacting a Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to R-1 (Single Family
Dwelling) on approximately 1.30 acres, located on the east side of Sipes
Avenue, approximately 300 feet north of Hughey Street; Steve Fehr, Applicant.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
Item #57 – 2019-0051
Nuwave Pools
Rezone/Huffman
Ms. Petyk presented the request as outlined in the agenda memorandum
and advised staff recommends approval.
It was determined the Applicant was present but had no public comment.
With regard to public participation, no one in the audience spoke in
support or opposition, and public input was closed.
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Constantine, to adopt
Ordinance #2019-51 enacting a Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to OP (Office) for
0.30 acres, located on the east side of Henderson Lane, south of West SR 46;
Development Order; Robert A. Huffman, Applicant.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
COUNTY MANAGER’S REPORT
Ms. Guillet announced they have closed on the Rosenwald property and
asked for authorization to move forward with the RFP for redevelopment of that
site. She briefly discussed the
proposal. There was consensus of the Board for Ms. Guillet to move forward with the
RFP.
-------
Ms. Guillet stated they have been talking about reestablishing the
Citizens Academy. Staff has a plan to
reinstate that beginning in February.
Staff has put together a ten-month program that will be shared with the
Board. They will initially have room for
25 people, and staff will send applications to the Commissioners. She noted they are also working on
reestablishing the Employee Academy as well, so they will work in tandem
together.
-------
In regard to Fire Station #11, Ms. Guillet advised they needed to
acquire a portion of the retention pond adjacent to that property. They received clearance from the FTA last
week saying they are amenable to that transfer of the property, so staff will
be working on getting all of that squared away and continue to move the project
forward.
-------
Ms. Guillet provided an update on the water tower issue in
Casselberry. Discussion ensued. Ms. Guillet advised the City has approached
them about potentially taking on that site as a park, so Joe Abel, Deputy
County Manager, and Rick Durr, Leisure Services Director, are looking to see if
that is an option. The Board voiced no objections.
Commissioner Constantine said he felt that the working relationship
between the community and Verizon needs to be better. The Community did not feel that a lot of the answers
were there. Commissioner Lockhart
advised she was out there and met with one of the community members. She said it is a lovely park-like area, but
her understanding is that they are going to be relocating the monopole closer
to the street, which would take up a lot of the property. It was also made clear to her that the
community plans to appeal the BOA’s decision, so perhaps they should reserve
discussions until after the appeal.
Commissioner Constantine added he thinks there might be a better way to
have the Verizon tower go up, because all they were asking for was an extension
of their variance, but there was not a lot of discussion with the
community.
-------
Ms. Guillet advised they are currently working on a lease with Advent
Health for an opioid treatment center in the old probation building, and that
will be coming back in January.
-------
Ms. Guillet mentioned that Chairman Zembower has asked her to work
with him on putting together some procedures for agenda development as well as
board procedures. She will be reaching
out to the Board members for their feedback.
COUNTY ATTORNEY’S REPORT
County Attorney Bryant Applegate stated the County Manager’s Office
has authorized the expenditure of $15,000 for the expert they will need to
support the new noise ordinance. They
are waiting to hear back from the Sheriff’s Counsel’s Office on the draft
ordinance they had sent over. Upon
inquiry, he estimates they should see this in the first quarter.
DISTRICT REPORTS
District 5
Commissioner Carey reported on the
passenger flight count at the Orlando Sanford International Airport.
-------
Commissioner Carey advised she received an
invitation from John Guard, Chief Deputy Attorney General, inviting her to a
roundtable discussion on the opioid crisis to learn Central Florida’s programs
and the ongoing efforts.
-------
Commissioner Carey noted she attended a
Central Florida Expressway meeting and shared information regarding the
suspension of tolls during evacuation and the impact it has monetarily.
-------
Commissioner Carey stated Virgin Trains is
moving their project forward from Palm Beach through Orange County to the
multi-modal station at Orlando International.
They have met with CFX to discuss how they could possibly make a
connection at a SunRail station and also get from the airport to Tampa. It is an ongoing conversation. She asked for any thoughts or input from the
Board.
-------
Commissioner Carey indicated there is a
study that has just been approved to do a direct connect at SR 414, Maitland
Boulevard, and it is making that connection between SR 441 and SR 434, Forest
City Road. They are going to do that in
connection with FDOT.
-------
Commissioner Carey reported they have
approved the Conceptual Feasibility and Mobility Study for the East Central
Florida Corridor, which is 30 to 40 miles.
When Governor Scott was in office, he appointed a corridor task force to
look at that area and their preferred alignment for connection of roads to
connect the east coast to central Florida.
A lot of this has to do with emergency evacuation because if you had to
evacuate the coast today, you only have a couple of roads (46, 520, 50 and
528). The Space Coast requested they
move this study forward, so the project is approved and moving forward.
-------
Motion
by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to reappoint Gayle
Hair to the Animal Control Board for a one-year term ending 1/1/21; reappoint
Steve Coover to a four-year term ending 1/1/24 to the
Board of Adjustment; appoint Ellen “Lori” Patton to the Code Enforcement Board
for a three-year term ending 1/1/23; reappoint Michael Fratrik
(pool contractor) to the Contractor Examiner Board to another one-year term;
appoint Joanne Schwarzmann to the Historical
Commission for a two-year term ending 1/1/22; appoint Rocky Harrelson to the
Parks and Preservation Advisory Committee for a three-year term ending 1/1/23,
and Ashlee Woodard to fill an unexpired term by Victoria Colangelo, which will
expire 1/1/22, also to Parks and Preservation; appoint Walter Grundorf to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a
four-year term expiring 1/1/24; after resignation by Kyle Kilger,
appoint Amy Guilfoyle to SCOPA filling that term, which will expire 1/1/23; and
appoint Diane Crews to the Tourism Development Council.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

-------
Commissioner Constantine reported at the November meeting of the
Florida Association of Counties, they approved a number of legislative updates,
much of which is supportive and similar to Seminole’s, with a little bit more
extension of them because they are talking about 67 counties.
District 4
Commissioner Lockhart stated many remember
“How Shall We Grow?” and now at the East Central Florida Regional Planning
Council, they want to talk about “How Did We Grow?” The next step in that is where are they going
next and what type of regional planning needs to occur. Commissioner Dallari mentioned a Value Study
done five years ago by MetroPlan Orlando.
The ECFRPC staff is also working closely
with the DEO (Department of Economic Opportunity) and they are going to bring
to their next meeting a report on the mitigation grant she mentioned earlier.
-------
Commissioner Lockhart had an opportunity to
meet with the Central Florida Hotel and Lodging Association who had some
specific asks that mostly pertain to relationship with the Tax Collector which
they have enjoyed in neighboring counties that is not being afforded to them here.

community meetings, a meeting with the School Board regarding the Lillie H.
Green Community Center, and site visits at the water treatment plants.

continue to have updates individually and as a Board as they are moving
forward.
-------

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to approve
the CALNO appointment of Commissioner Sarah Reece (Altamonte Springs) to the
Tourism Development Council.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Chairman Zembower stated he would be circulating the calendar for the
BCC dates in 2020. Commissioner Lockhart
mentioned when she was on the School Board, they found it helpful particularly
for staff to move the meeting to an every third
Tuesday. Discussion ensued.
-------
Chairman Zembower advised they are sending a letter to HUD in regards
to the vouchers for veterans’ housing.
It appears they may not be getting the correct allotment of vouchers for
their veterans. Mr. Applegate added they
will send a letter to the Secretary of HUD and the Secretary of the V.A., and
they are going to approach Congressman Murphy to help in that regard. Commissioner Carey stated she thinks it would
be helpful for all of them as they talk to their federal leadership if they
knew how the demographics of their veterans have changed over the years. Their number of vouchers have no increased
for a number of years and they have over 35,000 veterans in the county
today. She asked that they make sure and
get that information so if they are talking to Senator Scott, they can make
that case with facts and figures. Mr.
Applegate advised he talked with Ed Burford, Veteran Services Officer, this
morning and he will work on those numbers.
-------
Chairman Zembower reviewed the Chairman’s liaison appointments for
2020.
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Lockhart, the recommendation

ITEMS FOR FUTURE AGENDAS
Steve Shideler, 4648 Creekview Lane,
addressed the Board and displayed photos and an illustration (received and
filed). He mentioned that Commissioner
Dallari did a site visit to his property in Bear Creek subdivision. He advised his yard has been greatly impacted
by the Meritage Homes that have been built.
He talked about the flooding in his yard and the neighbors’ yards for
three and one-half years. The drainage
issues have been addressed by Meritage Homes but they have not wanted to use
the words, “flooding issues.”
Commissioner Dallari stated he met with the neighbors and did have
Meritage with them. The new gated
community has a Maintenance Bond for their infrastructure that they wanted to
have released about a month and a half ago, but it was removed from the agenda
and has not yet been released yet. Staff
is working with them to try to come up with solutions. Some of the things the Commissioner noted is
that it is not just Mr. Shideler’s side of the
property but it also affects the side where they built the new subdivision,
because water was actually coming up through the asphalt. They are currently waiting for the developer
to come back with an appropriate fix, but they have not seen that yet.
Commissioner Carey added that filling in his yard will just back up the
water closer to his house so that is not the answer. There needs to be some kind of underground
drainage or something put in there that will address the issue. She noted though that they have water
standing all over the county that they have not had in a long time because the
ground is so saturated.
Robert Ries, 4636 Creekview Lane, addressed
the Board stating he and his wife, Cora Hanaman, are
next door neighbors of Mr. Shideler. He noted the same issues saying that their
yard is connected to the main drain and swale across to the water
retention. (Letter dated 12/9/19
regarding Bear Creek/Tuskawilla Estates Drainage and
Flooding Issues, and photos received and filed.)
Commissioner Dallari remarked that they are taking these concerns
seriously. They were supposed to receive
some technical information and he will be getting with staff to ensure that
they continue moving forward with this.
-------
Doris Philipps, 1486 Hyde Park Drive, addressed the Board to report
that last Saturday about 4:30 to 5:00 in the afternoon, she started hearing
screaming and then cheering which went on for over an hour and it was coming
from the Action Church.
Debbie Smith, 1473 Hyde Park Drive, addressed the Board to share a
petition (not received and filed) in connection with the noise abuse being
perpetrated on Eden Point, Hyde Park and Pelican Bay neighborhoods by the
Action Church. They have 297 signatures
of the neighbors who support the revision of the noise ordinance so that it
will actually be enforceable. She noted
the noise issues continue to plague the community. She said she spoke with Pastor Eddie and he
confirmed that on Saturday, 700 people were outside of Action Church cheering,
screaming and yelling. They were holding
an outdoor baptism of 70 people and it could be heard well beyond a quarter of
a mile. He also noted that they have 28
speakers and they will use them.
J.C. Conklin, 3992 Waterview Loop, addressed the Board stating she is
a disabled veteran and because of these disabilities, she heard the noise and
the screaming and they are frantic and terrible noises to her. They start with fireworks at night and they
are illegal but they go on for hours and she ends up curled in a corner in her
house. She asked for their help in this
matter.
Commissioner Carey stated fireworks are illegal and certainly this
should be enforceable. Chairman Zembower
stated he has had two veterans in his office about this problem. He agrees they need to have discussion with
the Sheriff.
-------
Nancy Harmon, 752 Pioneer Way, addressed the Board to request that
there be an amendment to policy FLU 11.17 which is Chuluota Non-Residential
Design Standard, specifically paragraphs (a) and (b). She asked that they consider expanding the
definition to not just Chuluota, but to the rural area which would be the
eastern side of the rural boundary. She
believes they do not have within the standards a guideline like Chuluota’s for
the other areas that have commercial that are rural.
Commissioner Carey said she believes they have discussed this and they
are looking at discussing this as part of their Land Development Code
rewrite.
Richard Creedon, 1172 Apache Drive,
addressed the Board stating he is the vice president of the Geneva Citizens’
Association. They need to make sure that
only new commercial development within the rural area would enhance the rural
feel of the village of Geneva. He asked
they not wait until it is too late when “the horses are already out of the
barn.” He would like to encourage them
to expand coverage of the Chuluota Non-Residential Design Standards to have
them apply to the entire eastern rural area.
-------
There being no further business to come before the Board, the Chairman
declared the meeting adjourned at 3:38 p.m., this same date.
