County Attorney’s Briefing

County Attorney, Robert McMillan, addressed the Board to request approval to advertise and schedule a public hearing to consider the Towing Ordinance. He advised what had been removed since the previous ordinance was submitted to the Board.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Assistant County Attorney, Greg Hass, addressed the Board to state the only concern the towing operators had was for storage rates. Discussion ensued.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he is proud of the effort that has been done on this project.

Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Maloy, to authorize advertising and scheduling a public hearing to consider the Towing Ordinance.

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

-----

Mr. McMillan presented the request to advertise and schedule a public hearing to consider the Stormwater System Protection Ordinance. He advised some concerns were expressed yesterday by Stormwater that the ordinance might prohibit some of their activities like the 4th of July Motorcross through the lake beds and other general things done through the course of their business. Mr. McMillan said he will probably put an exception in the ordinance that it does not apply to authorized governmental operations/activities or activities permitted by a governmental permit.

Motion by Commissioner Maloy to authorize advertising and scheduling a public hearing to consider the Stormwater System Protection Ordinance, and direct Fiscal Services staff to prepare an economic impact statement.

Chairman Henley called for a second to the motion three times without response, whereupon, he passed the gavel to Vice Chairman Maloy for the purpose of seconding the motion.

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

Vice Chairman Maloy returned the gavel to Commissioner Henley to resume the duties of Chairman.

-----

Deputy County Manager Cindy Coto addressed the Board to give a briefing of the Legislative Issues. She asked for the Board to consider adoption of Resolution in support of Secretary of State Harris’ request to submit to the House Transportation and Economic Development Appropriations Committee and the County’s Legislative Delegation her budget increasing State funding to public libraries in the amount of $10 million. She stated Seminole County could receive an additional $200,000 a year in State funding for the library system.

Further, she advised she spoke with Bobby Brantley last night and he stated sponsors have been obtained in the House and Senate for the 17-92 Drainage Project, the Florida National Scenic Trail, and the Little Wekiva. She said staff will be tracking those.

Ms. Coto also stated the Florida Association of Counties (FAC) has brought to her attention a new Senate Bill by Senator Jim Horne, Clay County, relating to County Revenue Sharing (copy received and filed). She said the new Senate Bill 1862 by Senator Horne is not as favorable to counties. She said FAC has requested the counties contact their Senators and urge them to support the previous bill, Senate Bill 1650, which is felt to be much more favorable.

Motion by Commissioner Maloy, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to adopt appropriate Resolution #2000-R-52, as shown on page __________, in support of a $10 million annual increase in the State Aid to Libraries Program.

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

-----

Commissioner Maloy stated he forwarded Mr. Brantley a copy of the letter from the Board on their official position on Lynx, and Representative Randy Johnson is filing a bill to alter it. He said he thinks it would be logical to instruct the lobbyist to keep an eye on that and let the legislators know the Board’s opposition to the proposal to restructure the Lynx Board.

Chairman Henley stated he thinks it’s important for the Board to contact the legislators themselves. He indicated Mr. Brantley has a peculiar situation as this is about Lynx and he is also the lobbyist for Lynx.

Mr. Grace said it might be appropriate to develop letters directly to the Legislative Delegation. The Commissioners had no objections to the Board advising the Delegation of their opposition to the proposed bill by Representative Johnson.

-----

Chairman Henley advised efforts have been made by an individual working contrary to the MPO regarding the make-up of the MPO and eliminating seats given to the Sanford Airport representative and the Greater Kissimmee. He stated because of complaints from two cities, Mr. Travillion (phonetic) has withdrawn his support of introducing the bill and efforts have been made to have Senator Ann Cowan withdraw her support to introduce the bill. Chairman Henley said he sent a letter yesterday stating the Seminole County Commission’s position on the bill and of those in the minority continuing to try to change it.

-----

Mr. McMillan reported on the appeal of the Wal-Mart rezoning that the parties have agreed to set aside the litigation for the time being. The Legal staff will file for abatement of the proceedings with the provision that either side can bring it back. The petitioners have agreed that by April 14, they will bring in a revised application for the parcel that will not include a big box retailer, and staff will seek to have that processed through the system by the middle of June. To the extent that is approved, the applicant will go ahead and dismiss the case.

County Manager’s CONSENT AGENDA

Chairman Henley advised that Items #17, 23, and 52 have been withdrawn from the Consent Agenda.

Commissioner McLain asked questions regarding Item #23, BCR #00/70 for $840,353, Request transfer to facilitate purchase of road tractors for Solid Waste operations. He asked for a continuance of Item #29, Award FC-193-99/BJC, International Parkway North (formerly known as Grantline Road) Project, to Jones Bros., Inc., Mt. Juliey, Tennessee, ($7,199,803.55). Commissioner McLain stated he would like to see the contract more finely tuned so that the County will know when the water lines will be put in. As it stands now, the contractor could put in the lines anytime he wants to and that could hold up some of the approved development projects along the road.

John Moore, Public Works/Engineering, addressed the Board to advise what the impact might be in continuing this item and to comment on the timelines for installation of the water lines. During his discussion, Mr. Moore stated staff can delay the award without making changes to the contract, but if changes are made to the original construction document, he thinks staff would have to throw out all the bids and rebid. Discussion ensued.

Ms. Hall addressed the Board to state also that due to changes, it could be that staff would have to rebid the project. Whereupon, Commissioner McLain said he is not asking for any changes, but for staff to make contact and find out what the construction plans are and when the water lines would be installed. Mr. Moore stated he would contact the contractor and see if he has a preliminary schedule at this time.

Chairman Henley said maybe this could get clarified before adjourning the meeting, whereupon, the Board pulled Item #29 from the morning session and moved it to the afternoon agenda.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner McLain, Ken Roberts, Public Safety Director, addressed the Board to answer questions regarding Item #66, Amendment to Central Florida Ambulance Service and Rural Metro Ambulance Service Franchise Agreement.

Antoine Khoury, Section Head, Minor Projects, addressed the Board to answer questions by Commissioner Maloy regarding Item #41, Certificate of Completion for FC-179-99/BJC, Curryville Road Open Graded Cold Mix Asphalt Paving Project.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW

WAIVERS TO LDC REQUIREMENTS

JOHN CECONI, Continued

Matt West, Senior Planner, addressed the Board to present request for waivers to the Land Development Code requirements, (continued from 2/08/00 and 2/22/00). Applicant is requesting waivers to the Land Development Code to reduce the number of required off-street parking and to reduce the number of required canopy trees in the north buffer for the Lakeshore Apartments (formerly known as Serenity Shores Apartments) located on the north side of 4th Street, east of SR 419, and on the north side of Lake Catherine in Chuluota, John Ceconi.

Mr. West gave the Board an update, as requested at a previous meeting, on the smallest dwelling unit that might be allowed.

Mr. West advised that Mr. Ceconi has decreased his number of units from nine to eight, and the Code would require 16 parking spaces. He said Mr. Ceconi has added an additional parking space, but he is still short two spaces. He stated that after discussions with Mr. Ceconi, he determined that if he could close the doors on the north side (back) of the building, there would not be an active buffer there, and what Mr. Ceconi is proposing for landscaping would be adequate.

Mr. West said staff still cannot find a hardship to justify the reduction of parking spaces.

Commissioner Maloy said this project is primarily one-bedroom apartments, and to him two parking spaces to an apartment don’t make sense and seems too high. Discussion ensued with Mr. West. During discussion, Commissioner Maloy said he thinks this is a situation where the Code requires too much.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner McLain, Mahmoud Najda, Development Review Manager, addressed the Board to advise Mr. Ceconi is having a financial hardship with the bank.

District Commissioner Maloy stated he knows there have been no objections from the neighbors and he feels this is a reasonable request to help someone in the business community, and he feels confident Mr. Ceconi has been a good steward of the property.

Motion by Commissioner Maloy, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to approve waiver to the Land Development Code requirements for parking spaces and allow eight units with 14 off-street parking spaces for the Lakeshore Apartments (formerly known as Serenity Shores Apartments) located on the north side of 4th Street, east of SR 419, and on the north side of Lake Catherine in Chuluota, John Ceconi.

Districts 1, 3 and 4 voted AYE.

Commissioner McLain voted NAY.

COUNTY MANAGER’S BRIEFING

DCM, Cindy Coto, requested approval of Revised Guidelines for Code Enforcement Lien Requests for Waivers/Reductions. She said staff is responding to the request by the Board on January 25, 2000, to relook at the procedures and bring back recommendations to streamline those.

Commissioner Maloy said this looks like it might be another layer between the Board and the citizens, and that is a concern to him.

Chairman Henley said he feels in streamlining, they would get a quicker response to the citizens and they can still come before the Board of County Commissioners for an appeal.

After a brief discussion of Item #4 of the procedures, Commissioner McLain said he feels comfortable with the guidelines.

Motion by Commissioner McLain to approve the Revised Guidelines for Code Enforcement Lien Requests for Waivers/Reductions, as proposed.

Chairman Henley called for a second to the motion without response, whereupon, he passed the gavel for the purpose of seconding the motion.

Commissioners 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

Commissioner Maloy voted NAY.

The gavel was returned to Commissioner Henley who assumed the position of Chairman.

SHERIFF’S CONSENT AGENDA

Motion by Commissioner McLain, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to approve and authorize the following:

81. Approve and authorize expenditure in the amount of $3,000 for a contribution to The Grove Counseling Center. The Grove Counseling Center operates a number of substance abuse, juvenile delinquency prevention and treatment programs. Currently, the Center is seeking funds from area law enforcement agencies to help sustain and expand the family support and community empowerment components of Seminole H.O.P.E. Seminole H.O.P.E. is a community coalition program hosted by The Grove whose goal is the reduction of substance abuse and associated crime/violence within the community and the subsequent rebuilding of families and community negatively impacted by drugs. The Sheriff’s Office strongly supports the efforts of The Grove Counseling Center and desires to contribute $3,000 in support of Seminole H.O.P.E. This request complies with Chapter 932.7055(4)(a), Florida State Statutes.

82. Adoption of appropriate Budget Amendment Resolution #2000-R-62, as shown on page__________, in the amount of $84,000, Sheriff’s Office: Fund 00100, General Fund. The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office has been approved for an $84,000 Gang Resistance and Training Grant (G.R.E.A.T.) through the Department of Treasury, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. No additional FY 1999/00 funds are being requested from the BCC. This will increase General Fund and Sheriff’s Office’s appropriations by $84,000.

83. Approval and authorization for the Chairman to sign the Universal Hiring Cops Program Grant application and associated grant documents, as shown on page __________, from the U.S. Department of Justice, Universal Hiring Cops Program and authorization to process all associated grant documents.

In order to be considered for funding, the application must be submitted prior to March 15, 2000.

Under discussion, Penny Fleming, Sheriff’s Office, addressed the Board to answer questions from Chairman Henley.

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

Commissioner Maloy asked if Wekiva Trail was on the agenda today. Chairman Henley said no, but he has asked staff to look at that. He thinks Planning and Development Director Frances Chandler intends to bring back a report on March 28.

Commissioner McLain stated he met with the environmental organizations and staff concerning this issue, and they had some very good ideas. He asked staff to look into this issue. He is planning to meet with the Engineering Department, environmental organizations, and Planning Department to fine-tune this. He said, hopefully, at the next meeting, the Board can consider some minor modifications to the Trails Program and take advantage of some of the additional properties that have come forth.

Jim Marino, Public Works Director, addressed the Board to state about three weeks ago, he met with all the staff and Task Force members and there were a number of ideas thrown out. He said there seems to be better ideas that might be prudent. At this point, he wants to see if the Board might be interested in going in some other directions.

The Board, thereupon, recessed at 11:48 a.m., Reconvening at 1:36 p.m., this same date with all Commissioners and Officials, with the exception of Deputy Clerk, Carylon Cohen, who was replaced by Deputy Clerk, Sandy McCann, who were present at the opening session.

DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS

Commissioner Maloy reported that he will be serving on the Student Housing Task Force and the first meeting will be held on March 23, 2000 at 6:00 p.m. at UCF.

--------

Commissioner Henley gave a brief update on the North Street situation, advising staff is meeting with the homeowners and will be coming back to the Board with recommended solutions in the near future.

-------

Commissioner McLain requested Mr. Grace to have a resolution of appreciation prepared in recognition of the hard work Rick Nelson has done with regard to the Adult Entertainment litigation. He further requested that this be presented at the next Board meeting. The Board voiced no objections to same.

COUNTY MANAGER'S CONSENT AGENDA, CONTINUED

PURCHASING, CONTINUED

John Moore, Assistant County Engineer, addressed the Board to discuss Item #29, Request for award of FC-193-99/BJC, International Parkway North (Grantline Road). He distributed a copy of the Preliminary Work Schedule (copy received & filed) which was provided by the contractor. He said based on the preliminary schedule, it appears that the late finish for water is September 26, 2000 and the late finish for sewer is October 9, 2000. He said staff is still requesting award of the contract. He further said he believes that any constraints put on the contractor during the bidding process would have increased the cost. He advised that if the contract document were to be changed at this time, the County would have to re-bid. He added that if the time constraints still need to be addressed, those can be brought back to the Board through a change order along with any additional costs.

Chairman Henley stated Attorney Ken Wright, representing Colonial Properties, feels their project will be impacted by the work schedule. He questioned if the final plans for the development have been approved by the Board.

Attorney Ken Wright, representing Colonial Properties, addressed the Board to advise final plans have been approved. He further advised that this project has evolved into a multi-million dollar project on the same scale as the Heathrow HIBC. He said it will consist of several million square feet of office space fronting I-4. He stated that going back to March 1997, all they have ever asked and are asking now is for some cooperation from the County with regard to the construction of Grantline Road. He explained that the road is a source of utilities for this site. It is important to have those utilities available as soon as possible. He added that they have people ready to develop at this time. Copy of Memorandum from Mr. Wright to Commissioner McLain dated March 9, 2000 was received and filed.

Attorney Wright stated at this time, it appears the most prudent thing to do is to award the contract and make the best out of this situation. He said they tried to avoid this two or three years ago by requesting cooperation on the scheduling of the road work.

Upon further inquiry by Chairman Henley, Attorney Wright stated they are prepared to start work immediately. He further stated they are in the final stages of St. Johns River Water Management permitting, which should come about within 30 to 60 days.

Attorney Wright stated it seems the sewer schedule will be fine, but the big question is water.

Upon inquiry by Chairman Henley, Mr. Moore advised a pre-construction conference is scheduled for tomorrow.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated it appears there is a difference of 90 days for the water and he does not believe that should be a big deal to accommodate the business community. He said he is in favor of expediting these types of issues before they have to come to the Board for a decision.

Chairman Henley stated he believes it is important for staff and the contractor to be aware of the schedule. Whereupon, Mr. Moore stated staff will relay the Board's concerns to the contractor.

Attorney Wright asked if it was possible to have a developer's representative at the pre-construction conference. Whereupon, the Chairman stated he has no objections to a representative being present, but would not want that representative to be put into a position that the contractor is negotiating with him, when he is not.

Commissioner McLain stated he is glad the Board and staff went through this exercise because he believes it is important for everyone to understand this is a new road and the Board has approved many major projects along this corridor. He said the County needs to work with the business community. He added that he is concerned with the contractor starting on the northern end rather than the southern end where most of the development is located.

Motion by Commissioner McLain, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to award FC-193-99/BJC, as shown on page __________, International Parkway North (formerly known as Grantline Road) Project, to Jones Bros., Inc., Mt. Juliey, Tennessee, in the amount of $7,199,803.55.

Districts 1, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

-------

The meeting, thereupon, recessed at 2:20 p.m., reconvening at 7:08 p.m., this same date with all Officials, (with Commissioner Henley being late), with the exception of Deputy Clerk Sandy McCann, who was replaced by Deputy Clerk Eva Roach, who were present at the Opening Session.

-------

Vice Chairman Maloy recognized members of a Boy Scouts troop in attendance.

PUBLIC HEARING

REZONE/Miller, Sellen, Conners & Walsh

Proofs of publication, as shown on page ________, calling for a public hearing to consider request to Rezone from (PUD) Planned Unit Development to (PUD) Planned Unit Development; approve Amendment #2 to the Oakmonte PUD Master Plan; and approve revised Developer’s Commitment Agreement; property located on the south side of Lake Mary Blvd., west of and adjacent to I-4, Miller, Sellen, Conners and Walsh on behalf of owners ZOM Kensington Limited, received and filed.

Gary Schindler, Senior Planner, addressed the Board to advise the amendment involves only Tract B and C of the Oakmonte PUD.

Commissioner Henley entered the meeting at 7:11 p.m. and assumed the position of Chairman.

Mr. Schindler reviewed the chronology of what has transpired to Tract B and Tract C as outlined in the agenda memorandum. He also reviewed the transportation impact and the DRI threshold as outlined in the agenda memorandum. He stated Miller Sellen has submitted additional information. Staff has reviewed the DRI land use information submitted and that falls into an "assumed not to be a DRI" category. The adult congregate living facility (ALF) will have very low traffic impact. Staff has no objections to the proposed 65,000 sq. ft. of additional use for Tract C. He added the applicant has added the following commitments: A 50 ft. landscape buffer along the southern property line of Tract C-1 and Tract C-2 with a 6 ft. high masonry wall; there will be no loading areas, air conditioning units or trash dumpsters permitted along the south or west property lines; the height limitation for a portion of Tract C, where the ALF is proposed, to be 35 ft, whereas the eastern portion of Tract C-1 is to be 45 ft.; and the western portion of Tract C has a height limitation of 35 ft. He stated staff has reviewed the amendments to the revised developer’s commitment agreement and they have no objections to the proposed ALF.

Ken Wright, Shutts & Bowen, addressed the Board to state he concurs with staff recommendations. He pointed on the map the location of the western most 150 ft. and advised the height limitation will be limited to 35 ft. He stated the ALF unit is a residential-type building. He pointed out on the map the corner of the project that is closest to the surrounding residential. He stated not only are they limiting the height to 35 ft., but they will limit the construction to two stories so it will provide a good residential-style buffering. There will be no equipment loading or any other type of uses on the west and south sides. He displayed and reviewed Table I (not received and filed) relative to intensity. He stated the first amendment was a trade-off to commercial to gain additional office, which John Dwyer, Section Chief, felt was a minor and positive change. The designation of office went from office corporate headquarters to office general and that resulted in a slight increase of traffic trips. He stated he is proposing that there will be a 901 average daily trip reduction over what was originally approved. The AM peak hour trips increased and the PM peak hour trips were reduced. The adult living facilities do not fall within any category. He stated he feels that this is a positive use and it provides a good buffer to the residential area to the west.

Frank Shelton, 14 Stone Gate North, addressed the Board to briefly review the history of this property. He stated the residents have been told that this project would be a big upscale development and three story apartments are not upscale. He asked the Board not to approve this request unless it is a trade-off for the 51,000 sq. ft. office building.

Joseph Breig, 26 Stone Gate South, addressed the Board to state his lot is probably the closest to this property. He stated he objects to the increase of square footage for this property.

Jack Hannahs, 204 Orange Ridge Circle, addressed the Board to state he concurs with Mr. Shelton’s and Mr. Breig’s comments.

Joseph Massot, 935 River Edge Court, addressed the Board to state the applicant is requesting to change commercial from one thing to another and he doesn’t believe the Board is grasping the entire picture of what is actually happening. He stated the traffic study indicates that traffic will go down, but the root of the situation is greed. He said he feels that greed and getting the best buck out of the property is what everyone is after. He added he doesn’t believe that more density is needed in this area and he is requesting the Board to vote no on this request.

Mr. Wright stated density of uses is generally measured by their impact. He stated he will not engage in any appearances in terms of square footage of structures there is an increase. He said he feels this is an additional opportunity to use the property in a way that is less impacted, a more traditional use to the residential, and it is less intensive. He added it was an overall reduction of 25,000 sq. ft. of commercial and all he is asking is to get additional use out of the property. He stated he has seen the project and it is an upscale project. He said there wouldn’t be a noticeable affect around the neighborhood. He added he feels the project is an overall transition that is good for the neighbors behind and it is an additional use that will result in less impact.

No one else spoke in support or in opposition.

Speaker Request Forms were received and filed.

Commissioner McLain discussed with Mr. Schindler the buffers, trip generation, and how the project affects the neighborhood.

District Commissioner McLain stated he feels this will be a better project for the community by lowering the buildings, pushing them back, less trips and providing an adult living facility, which is needed in the County. He stated based on those findings and the recommendations of staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission, he will recommend approval.

Motion by Commissioner McLain, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to adopt Ordinance #2000-17, as shown on page _________, changing the zoning classification assigning the subject property from PUD to PUD for the purpose of approving Amendment #2 to the Oakmonte PUD Master Plan and for approving the revised Developer’s Commitment Agreement, as shown on page _______, as described in the proof of publication, Miller, Sellen, Conners and Walsh on behalf of owners ZOM Kensington Limited.

Under discussion, Commissioner Maloy stated sometimes ALF’s are controversial and sometimes they are not. He stated there are about four near his home and a lot of concerns come about relative to traffic, noise and associated issues. He said he has not heard any complaints from the ALF’s in his community. He added from what he has seen he doesn’t think this will have a negative impact to the community.

Districts 1, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

Chairman Henley advised that Commissioner Morris is not in attendance this evening.

DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS’ REPORTS (Continued)

Commissioner Van Der Weide discussed with the Board and Mr. Grace the issue of the Courthouse RFP having a 13-page addendum.

Commissioner McLain left the meeting at this time.

Mr. Grace stated the addendum is larger than the original bid proposal and it has not been sent out yet. He said he told Jamie Croteau to get copies to the Board for their review before it goes out.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he believes the proposal was going to be on the internet.

Commissioner McLain entered the meeting at this time.

Commissioner Maloy stated he feels it is unfair to have the bidders do a lot of work and spend a lot of money, time and effort on these bids and then the rules are changed. Discussion ensued.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he is trying to understand how the first document sent out was 3 to 4 pages, was seen by the Board, and then a 13-page addendum is being sent out without the Board seeing it. He said he believes the staff needs to justify the need for the addendum.

Mr. Grace stated he will check into this the first thing tomorrow morning and then get back to the Board.

-------

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated Mr. Bob Webster is planning to come before the Board to speak in regard to some major concerns with the Bear Lake Road area and some of the Charter issues.

-------

There being no further business to come before the Board, the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned at 8:13 p.m., this same date.
