Chairman
Carey stated the reason why she wanted Item #5, Award RFP-2251A-07/VFT - Ship
Program Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resale of Single Family Homes to The
Center for Affordable Housing, Sanford, Fl, and Corinthian Builders, Inc.,
Sanford, Fl, the estimated grant funded amount of $1,391,720, pulled for a
separate vote is she would like to know how the process is done. She stated when the last LHAP agreement was
approved, the Board decided to use the Orlando MSA. They are looking at last year’s number, which
is $293,921, and due to the declining real estate market that is not the
average number. She said she would like to
get the Board’s input with regard to looking at that number every quarter. By looking at the MSA number quarterly, they
can basically do nine houses and get one house free.
Commissioner
Henley stated he strongly supports that but also he feels they need to go back
and review the whole concept. He said he
has noticed in the backup information that the “amount not exceeding $100,000” is
for each approved unit but it winds up being $180,000.
Ms.
Coto stated even though the County utilizes the MSA, they do have a maximum
dollar amount associated with what they can contribute.
David
Medley, Community Services Director, addressed the Board to state $180,000 is a
maximum value of the home that an individual would be eligible for. He stated $100,000 is the maximum amount the
County would contribute towards the $180,000.
Staff can review the MSA as often they want to and it does change
monthly or quarterly. Staff would have
to obtain a resolution from the Board each quarter to submit to the State for
their approval. He stated in order to
change the maximum amount, the cost of the average home within this area would
have to decrease below $200,000.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. Medley advised the developer will be
responsible for all the fees associated with closings. He stated all of the closing costs will come
off the developer’s fees.
Chairman
Carey stated the developer’s fee may fluctuate depending on what the deal is. She stated what she would like to do is keep
up with the LHAP more than just once a year.
Commissioner
Henley stated this is based on income and if an individual has enough money to
put towards a house, he could qualify for a loan of $295,000 if they are
willing to pay out of their savings account.
Chairman
Carey stated the Board consensus is
to keep the cap of what the market is by bringing those numbers forward every
quarter.

Request
to approve the final plat for Creek Side Acres located on Snowhill Road in
Section 03, Township 21S, Range 32E, presented.
At
the request of Commissioner Dallari, Imogene Yarborough,
Chairman
Carey thanked Ms. Yarborough for her family working with the County in
preserving land.
Commissioner
Dallari stated Item 3b of the development order refers to density of 300 units
and he would like to insert the word “maximum
density up to 300 units”, so they can be clear on that.
Dori
DeBord, Planning & Development Director, addressed the Board to state that
can be added to the development order.
Commissioner
Henley stated there was quite a debate about increased density in order to cluster. He stated when this was approved, he never
dreamed that it would be set up as a subdivision in a rural protected
area. He says he still has problems and
reservations regarding this because they are giving them a 1:1 ratio rather
than a 1:5 or 1:10 ratio.
Chairman
Carey stated this issue will come forward for development approval some time in
the future. She said the Board is only
authorizing the Chairman to execute the final plat.

Request
to approve Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (COPCN) for Air
Methods d/b/a Rocky Mountain Holdings LLC d/b/a LifeNet, to become effective
from the date this COPCN is executed through June 30, 2008 was presented for
discussion.
Commissioner
Dallari stated there is no language in the COPCN that the carriers would have
to meet all
Tad
Stone, Public Safety Director, addressed the Board to state the flight
transport is governed by a separate medical director that operates under their
own protocol. He stated staff can ask
Air Methods to cooperatively work together but they have a separate medical
director.
Commissioner
Dallari stated he wants to make sure the expanded protocol is followed if they
are transporting a resident in
Mr.
Stone stated he would have to meet with their Medical Director to see if they
will change their protocol to meet the County’s standards. There are standards that need to be met per
Florida Statutes.
Commissioner
Dallari stated for him to support this, he would need to know if that protocol
is followed throughout the County.
Chairman
Carey stated there are several COPCN’s out there and some of them vary somewhat
from the County’s protocol. If they are
not following a certain level of standard, then the County would not use them
as their transports.
Commissioner
Dallari stated he wants to make sure that when they transport patients, that protocol
is covered.
Mr.
Stone stated staff would have to renegotiate all of the COPCN’s.
Robert
McMillan,
Commissioner
Dallari stated if they are asking the County’s
Commissioner
Henley stated he feels the question they need to know is what are the protocols
and are they acceptable. He stated if
they are utilizing permits and licenses, then there is nothing wrong with knowing
what the protocols are.
Mr.
McMillan stated all of the protocols have to meet statutory standards and State
standards.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he doesn’t see any harm in trying to communicate with all
the agencies that deal with
Chairman
Carey stated the certificates have to come back to the Board for renewal every
year. The consensus of the Board was to try to negotiate with all the
agencies to see what the protocol is and bring them more in line with what the
County’s protocol is.
Mr.
Stone stated most of those will come up for renewal in June.

REGULAR AGENDA
Jennifer Bero, Fiscal Services, addressed the Board to request
Board direction with regard to the County partnering with the Salvation
Army-Family Focus Program to submit an application to the Office on Violence
Against Women requesting up to $400,000 through their Safe Haven; Supervised
Visitation and Safe Exchange Grant Program.
She reviewed the request as outlined in the agenda memorandum.
Commissioner Henley stated this program was set up several years
ago by the BCC because of problems that were occurring with families when they
split up.
Motion by Commissioner Henley,
seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to authorize the County, partnering with
the Salvation Army-Family Focus Program, to submit an application to the Office
on Violence Against Women requesting up to $400,000 through their Safe Haven;
Supervised Visitation and Safe Exchange Grant Program; and authorize the Chairman
to execute supporting documents, as shown on page ________.
Under discussion, Commissioner Van Der Weide stated this is a
well worth-while program and he and his family have witnessed what the
Salvation Army has done.
Chairman Carey stated this is the second or third application
asking the County to be a grant recipient for a private enterprise. The
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Ms. Coto stated the Board will be seeing a couple of dates on
their calendar relating to a work session on the EAR-based amendment to the
Comp Plan. She stated because the EAR-based
amendments are so significant, staff felt that giving it to the Board in small
bites, before they have to transmit would be more desirable. The work session relating to the EAR
amendment will be scheduled after a BCC meeting and staff is looking at
scheduling them in April or May. She
said the Land Development Code will be done in a similar way.
-------
Ms. Coto stated at the January 8 meeting, the Board authorized
staff to contact Mr. Clark who owns property adjacent to SR 417 and surrounded
by property the County owns where
Commissioner Dallari stated he would like to schedule this on a
regular agenda so he can see all the information for discussion.
Chairman Carey stated she feels the Board can discuss this issue
at this time, whereupon Commissioner Dallari stated he would like to see the
appraisal.
Ms. Coto informed the Board that Mr. Clark made a counteroffer
on January 28 and it is good for 30 days.
Meloney Lung, Administrative Services, addressed the Board to
state she believes the property is a little over one acre.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Ms. Coto stated $10
million was set aside for acquisition of land for the 5 Pts. Complex and she
would recommend transferring money out of that account to acquire the property.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he doesn’t have a problem
supporting this, but he believes further discussion on this may be in order.
Commissioner Henley stated he doesn’t think that parcel of land
is crucial to what they are doing out there and he would hate for them to dip
into this fund for this purpose. He
stated he feels it is crucial for what they are trying to do on 17-92 at 5
Points, and he would hate for them to come up short as a result of purchasing
this parcel. Therefore, he doesn’t think
it is critical that they buy this piece of property.
Ms. Coto stated the parcel next to Jetta Point is not critical
to the successful implementation, but it will assist them in some of the issues
that they will have to work around with regard to access.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated if it is not critical, then he
doesn’t think it should be up for discussion.
Chairman Carey stated some of the land at Jetta Point was expensive
but it would be better if they could come up with some reasonable terms. She stated this item will be tabled for the
next meeting and that will keep them within the 30 day limit.
-------
Chairman Carey stated since the EAR work shops will be scheduled
after BCC meetings in April or May, she would hope all of the Board members
will be able to be present well into the afternoon and maybe the evening hours.
No Report.

The Chairman recessed the meeting at 10:20 a.m., reconvening at 1:31 p.m., this same date with
all Commissioners and all other Officials, with the exception of Deputy Clerk

REQUEST FOR LARGE SCALE LAND
USE & REZONE
TO PUD, JAMES WILLARD/SHUTTS
& BOWEN, Continued
Continuation
of a public hearing to consider a Large Scale Future Land Use Amendment from
MDR (Medium Density Residential) to HDR (High Density Residential) and Rezone
from PUD (Planned Unit Development) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) for
approximately 26.8 acres, located on the east side of Oregon Street,
approximately ½ mile north of the intersection of SR 46 and Oregon Street, as
described in the proof of publication, James G. Willard, Shutts & Bowen,
LLP.
Planner,
Ian Sikonia, addressed the Board to present the request, advising the original
PUD approved by the BCC on May 10, 2005, has now been split in half and being
presented as Items #25 and #26. The
applicant is requesting the amendment to allow for a multi-family residential
development at a maximum density of 16.5 dwelling units per net buildable
acre. He stated this property was
previously approved as the NW 46 PUD which consisted of a townhome and
condominium project allowing a maximum of 400 units. The proposed Lake Forest PUD is creating a
new PUD while maintaining some of the previous conditions of the NW 46 PUD. The
proposed PUD is also allowing for a maximum of 417 units, which is an increase
of 17 total units; and proposing to increase the approved maximum building
height of 35 feet, not to exceed two stories, to 50 feet, not to exceed three
stories. They are also maintaining the
same permitted uses of condominium, townhomes, and adding multi-family rental
units to the development order.
Mr.
Sikonia advised that the P&Z Commission’s motion to approve this item
failed due to a 3 to 3 vote. They then
made a motion to send the request to the BCC without a recommendation with a 6
to 0 vote. He further advised that staff
recommends approval to transmit the amendment to the DCA.
District
Commissioner Carey clarified that Items #25 & #26 originally came to the
Board and was approved as one piece of property. The developer has now split the property and
is seeking separate approvals for each piece.
She suggested the Board take votes on each item after hearing public
comment on both. The Board voiced no objections to same.
Attorney
Ken Wright, representing the applicant, addressed the Board to state this is an
apartment site that is very well located by I-4 and job centers. He said going from two stories to three
stories has allowed them to be much more accommodating for open space. He agreed that both Items #25 and #26 should
be considered together.
Upon
inquiry by
Attorney
Wright briefly discussed the revised First Amended & Restated Seminole

BERLINSKY/KB HOMES
Continuation
of a public hearing to consider a Large Scale Future Land Use Amendment from
MDR (Medium Density Residential) to HDR (High Density Residential) and Rezone
from PUD (Planned Unit Development) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) for
approximately 28.25 acres, located on the east side of Oregon Street,
approximately ½ mile north of the intersection of SR 46 and Oregon Street, as
described in the proof of publication, Reed Berlinsky/KB Homes Orlando,
LLC.
Planner,
Ian Sikonia, presented the request, advising this property was originally part
of Item #25 and is now being split. He
stated the applicant is requesting the amendment in order to allow for a
multi-family residential development at a maximum density of 20 dwelling units
per net buildable acre. The proposed
Silverleaf PUD is essentially creating a new PUD while maintaining some of the
previous conditions of the NW 46 PUD which allowed for a maximum 400
units. The Silverleaf PUD is proposing a
maximum of 558 units and proposing to increase the approved maximum building
height of 35 feet or two stories to 50 feet or three stories. The PUD is also proposing to remove
conditions from the previous D.O. regarding minimum house size, lot width,
setback, and other design-related conditions to allow for more flexibility when
designing the Final Master Plan.
Mr.
Sikonia advised the P&Z Commission voted to approve the request, which
failed; and then voted to deny the request, which also failed. They then sent the application to the BCC
without a recommendation. He further
advised the staff recommends approval to transmit the amendment to the
DCA.
Attorney
Steve Coover, representing the applicant, stated they concur with the staff
recommendation. He said they have
reduced the number of units from 582 to 303.

APPEAL AGAINST BOA,
TBCOM PROPERTIES, LLC
Proof
of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to
consider an Appeal Against the Board of Adjustment’s decision to approve a
Special Exception for a 130-foot communication tower located on Parcel 202 in
the Carillon PUD, TBCOM Properties, LLC, received and filed.
Planner,
Kathy Fall, addressed the Board to present the appeal, advising at the BOA
hearing, there was discussion concerning possible interference with the
County’s Public Safety communications.
The applicant has agreed to conditions of the approval that would ensure
no potential impacts, including an IM study to be conducted by each subscriber
and a test conducted prior to commercial use.
If there are any unresolved problems after commencement of service,
TBCOM will immediately remove the offending subscriber from service. She further advised that on December 11,
District Commissioner Dallari asked that this item be brought before the
BCC.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Ms. Fall advised that the first request was for
a 120-foot tower and this request is for a 130-foot tower, with the same amount
of carriers.
Director
of Information Technology, Robert Beach, addressed the Board to discuss the
concern about the tower interfering with the fire stations 800 megahertz
communication system. He said the
applicant has tried to address this concern in the development order by having
the carrier conduct testing and should there be interference, the offending
subscriber will be removed from service.
He added that the County is in the process of moving and updating their
band.
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Carey, Mr. Beach advised should any communication towers
located in the County interfere with any Public Safety communication, the
County has the ability to require them to cease and desist.
Attorney
Mary Solik, representing TBCOM Properties, addressed the Board to review the
history of the tower request on this site starting in January 2007. She advised that in order to accommodate
Verizon, they have raised the pole to 130 feet.
The other carriers will be Metro PCS, T-Mobile, and Sprint. She said all carriers will be on the 1830 to
1930 bands and not on the 800 band. She
displayed photographs (received & filed) showing how the tower will look
from various surrounding sites. She said
the photos demonstrate that this area is a real mix of educational structures,
commercial and residential; and they do not believe that the cell tower
disguised as a flag pole is a detriment to the neighborhood. She displayed an aerial (received &
filed) of the site and surrounding neighborhood. She advised that they have hired a consultant
to conduct an Intermodulation Study in order to determine the impact of the
tower on the
Tony
Demattia addressed the Board to discuss the Study, advising he conducted the
study himself. Copy of TB172 – UCF North
Collocation Study by Sitesafe was received and filed.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. Beach advised the County’s communications
equipment will change as they go through re-banding and it will cause less
interference. He reiterated that if
there is ever any interference, the applicant would be required to take down
the tower.
Dan
Babilla, T-Mobile Radio Frequency Engineer, addressed the Board to display and
discuss the current coverage area versus the improved coverage area with the
proposed new tower (maps regarding same were received & filed). He stated that they have been trying to
improve the service to this area since 2000 and the demands for service have
dramatically increased in the last five years as people are pulling their land
lines out of the homes and want to exclusively use their cell phones. Average Daily Dropped Call Footprint and
A2E0658 Search Area Map were received & filed.
Upon
inquiry by Attorney Solik, Mr. Babilla advised there are other cell towers
within close proximity to fire stations in
Upon
further inquiry by Attorney Solik, Mr. Babilla advised to date they have
received no interference complaints about any of their towers.
Attorney
Solik submitted, for the Record, the Verizon Wireless existing coverage in the
Carillon area map and the proposed coverage using the new tower. Copy of the proposed site plan was also
received and filed.
Attorney
Patrick Howell, representing the Carillon Homeowners Association, addressed the
Board to speak in opposition to the proposed cell tower, stating the tower
exceeds the current restrictions by 100 feet and it will be massive. He said no analysis has been provided of what
will happen in a high wind event and how the tower will fall. He said a 300-foot buffer from the proposed
UCF dorms is not sufficient.
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Carey, Director of Planning & Development, Dori Debord,
advised there is an application for student housing to be located on the
property which is currently being reviewed by County staff; however, no public
hearing has been scheduled to date.
Attorney
Howell stated the proposed tower will not be in character with the surrounding
wetland conservation area. He discussed
the letter from Televate (copy received & filed) regarding the possible
interference with the fire station’s communications, stating he objects to the
idea of building the tower first and then conducting the test. He further stated that the residents of
Carillon do not want the tower as over 300 residents have e-mailed that they
are against it and only 14 e-mailed in support.
District
Commissioner Dallari submitted for the Record a copy of the Site Lease
Agreement with TBCOM Properties and a packet of information with plans of the
proposed Northview Carillon PUD Major Amendment.
Ms.
Debord advised the proposed PUD amendment includes the proposed cell tower
site.
Attorney
Solik stated a tower needs to be built before the study can be conducted; and
should there be interference, they will abide by the conditions laid out by the
BOA. She also stated that the tower will
be engineered in order to have a fall zone and will be made so that it will
collapse on itself. She reiterated her
request for the Board’s approval.
No
one else spoke in support or in opposition.
Speaker
Request Form was received and filed.
The
Chairman recessed the meeting at 3:00 p.m., reconvening it at 3:08 p.m., this
same date.
A
brief discussion ensued between the Board, Ms. Debord and County Attorney
McMillan with regard to the proposed PUD amendment.
Commissioner
McLean stated he has not heard an outpouring of complaints about reception from
the Carillon residents.
E-mails
regarding this request were received and filed.
District
Commissioner Dallari stated he believes there is a conflict between the location
of the cell tower and the proposed PUD amendment. He added that there are many issues.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari,
seconded by Commissioner McLean to reverse the Board of Adjustment’s decision
in approving a Special Exception; thereby, denying the request for a 130-foot
communication tower located on Parcel 202 of the Carillon PUD, as described in
