Ms. Williamson advised the outparcel is not owned by the developer at this time and is not part of the PUD.
Chairman Henley stated at that time, Commissioner Morris requested staff to obtain some assurance that the outparcel would remain residential when developed. Whereupon, Ms. Williamson advised that it was clearly stated on the record that the intent of the Board at that time was that the property should remain residential.
Commissioner Morris stated something needs to be put on the property to flag it when it comes in for development.
District Commissioner Henley agreed that discussion regarding the outparcel should be flagged for future boards. He recommended approval of the plan.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
DCM Sally Sherman gave the Board an update on State legislative priorities as outlined in the Agenda Memorandum. She advised there has been a lot of activity regarding House Bill 949 (Land Use Decisions). Because of the widespread impact this would have on the County’s authority, staff is asking for authorization to draft a resolution in opposition to be sent to the Legislative Delegation and the Governor. Discussion ensued.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated it is unbelievable that this bill has gotten this far. He also expressed concern about the “Save Our Homes” movement. He requested Ms. Sherman to contact Property Appraiser, David Johnson, to see if he has taken a position on this. He also requested that the Board be briefed by their lobbyist on this issue as soon as possible.
At the request of Commissioner Carey, Ms. Sherman gave a brief update on the Motor Vehicle Surcharge legislation, advising that bill is moving forward.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he hopes there is an escalation clause in the surcharge bill.
With regard to the Deferred Compensation Bill, County Attorney McMillan advised Senator Negron is still acting as a “bottleneck” and the County’s lobbyist will be working with him on it.
Commissioner Morris discussed the funding
request for the SR 46 Regional Evacuation Route (SR 415 to US 1), advising many
of the landowners want to donate the right-of-way for this. He discussed his frustrations with FDOT on
this issue and stated FDOT has said there should be no development around the
Orlando/Sanford Airport until the road is four-laned. He stated that, in his opinion, that is a
moratorium, and FDOT is not taking into consideration the improvements to
Commissioner Carey questioned if the County has looked at fronting the money for the project and/or doing a traffic study.
Commissioner Morris said that the County could loan the money to the State as that has been done before. Discussion ensued.
Commissioner Carey stated Chairman Henley and Commissioner Morris will be seeing Mr. Gilhooley (FDOT) at the MPO meeting tomorrow and suggested a meeting between Mr. Gilhooley, County Engineer Jerry McCollum, and Chairman Henley be scheduled to discuss this issue.
Commissioner Morris also suggested that Mr. McCollum draft a letter on the mitigation for the Airport with each Commissioner signing same, and a copy be sent to the Legislative Delegation.
Chairman Henley requested Mr. Fisher ask Mr. McCollum to be present at this afternoon’s meeting to discuss the mitigation letter for the Airport.
Ms. Sherman advised that the County has
received FDEP grant funding for the Lockhart-Smith Canal Regional Stormwater
Facility which was listed on the County’s funding request. Therefore, the County will not be moving
forward with the funding request in
With regard to the federal legislative priorities,
Ms. Sherman stated the Board had asked that Wilson Landing be placed on the federal
funding project list. She advised all funding
request were required to be submitted by March 16 and the County did not make
that deadline. She added that the
County’s federal lobbyist has indicated that he will still try to see what can
be done, but it might not be until next year.

PUBLIC
HEARINGS
REZONE/Morrison
Homes (Continued)
Continuation
of a public hearing to consider request to Rezone approximately 55.94 acres
located on the south side of Wilson Road and east of International Parkway
a/k/a Lakeshore Preserve, from A-1 (Agriculture District) to PUD (Planned Unit
Development), as described in the proof of publication, Morrison Homes.
Chairman
Henley stated he has received a letter (received and filed) from the applicant
requesting a continuance for 30 days.
No
one spoke in support or in opposition of the continuance.
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded
by Commissioner Van Der Weide to continue to May 9, 2006 at 1:30 p.m., or as
soon thereafter as possible, request to Rezone approximately 55.94 acres
located on the south side of Wilson Road and east of International Parkway
a/k/a Lakeshore Preserve, from A-1 (Agriculture District) to PUD (Planned Unit
Development), as described in the proof of publication, Morrison Homes.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
REZONE/Jim
Bishop (Continued)
Continuation
of a public hearing to consider request to Rezone approximately 10.25 acres
from A-1 (Agriculture District) to R-1AA (Single-Family Dwelling District),
located on the north side of West McCulloch Road, 950 ft. west of Iron Bridge
Road, as described in the proof of publication, Jim Bishop.
Mike
Rumer, Planning, addressed the Board to review what the requested zoning
designation allows and the Future Land Use designation of the subject
site. Under the LDR Future Land Use
designation, the applicant may develop a maximum of four dwelling units per net
buildable acre and a maximum of 3.7 dwelling units per net buildable acre under
R-1AA zoning. The Land Development Code
requires the application of the Weighted Method for determining Single-family
Residential Compatibility in Residential land uses. The analysis supports rezoning to R-1AA. He reviewed the history of the property as
outlined in the agenda memorandum. The
Planning & Zoning (P&Z) Commission recommended denial of the request on
February 1, 2006. Staff recommends
approval of the request to rezone to R-1AA based on the staff findings.
Commissioner
Morris left the meeting at this time.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. Rumer advised the zoning for the property
that abuts the Orange County line is A-2 or a half acre, but in actuality the
lot sizes in Orange County are larger.
Commissioner
Morris reentered the meeting at this time.
Lonnie
Groot, Stenstrom, McIntosh, Colbert, Whigham, Reischmann & Partlow,
addressed the Board to advise that most of the exhibits that he will be
submitting are a lot of material which the Board has already seen. He submitted an Affidavit of the property
owner and photographs of Cardinal Glen,
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Groot advised 80% to 90% of the documents
submitted are county documents. The only
ones that are not county documents is Mr. Aylor’s affidavit, the photographs,
his legal analysis of additional Comp Plan policies and the state of State law,
and his affidavit and resume. Discussion
ensued between Commissioner Morris and Mr. McMillan relative to documents being
part of the record and whether or not to continue this request to allow staff
time to review those documents.
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Henley, Mr. Groot advised if the Board reads together the
Comp Plan, the Land Development Code (LDC) and the findings of fact in the
Ordinance enacted in 1998, he is implying that the Board only needs to consider
the lot size compatibility. Discussion
ensued.
Chairman
Henley stated he doesn’t feel the Board is bound by the lot size compatibility
in order for them to make their decision, but they must use it as part of the
data for their consideration.
Mr.
Groot stated he feels the finding, the calculation and determination of
compatibility are objective standards which the BCC enacted to reach an
objective result and that objective calculation has been made and brought to
the Board by staff.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Tina Williamson, Planning, addressed the Board
to advise staff is actually using the zoning information and each zoning is
assigned a certain weight in the analysis.
She stated the compatibility analysis is based on the zoning of A-1. Discussion ensued relative to updating the
Comp Plan and Future Land Use Map designations.
Commissioner
Morris stated he has concerns with the 18-page document entitled “Application
to Rezone Property from A-1 to R-1AA” that Mr. Groot submitted. He stated he must agree with Chairman
Henley’s comment made to Mr. Groot relative to this. He said the BCC must consider staff’s
recommendations as well as from a variety of sources relative to the history of
interpretation as intended by the code.
It is not required that the Board must follow staff’s
recommendation. They also take due
consideration of the public hearings process by the P&Z and their
recommendations. The Board’s motion
deals with the findings of fact and conclusions they have reached.
Mr.
McMillan stated the argument now is how the Comp Plan applies and the Board
doesn’t have to resolve that issue. The
Board needs to determine the facts and then make a ruling. The 18-page document that Mr. Groot submitted
is basically his legal analysis of the plan and how he applies it to his
client’s property as it relates to the advocacy of his client’s position. If the Board denies this, then staff would
provide the alternative legal analysis when they file a response.
Mr.
Groot read a section of the Plan Policies and Land Development regulations and
the findings in the ordinance.
Commissioner
Morris stated the procedure is how they conduct public hearings and how they
take in findings of fact. He stated he
understands the argument that Mr. Groot is making and understands the counter
argument Mr. McMillan would make.
Mr.
McMillan stated when the ordinance was adopted, the Board had concerns that
this ordinance would somehow be utilized to lock in decisions and it would tie
their hands. They wanted to be assured
that it would be a tool that staff would use in making their recommendations,
but in no way would it bind the Board relative to any findings of
compatibilities.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Mr.
McMillan stated what the 18-page document amounts to is citations to the
ordinances and Mr. Groot’s legal opinion.
He stated he doesn’t believe it will provide factual basis one way or
the other.
Commissioner
Dallari stated he would like staff to review the document and report back to
the Board.
Mr.
McMillan stated if the Board wants a more detailed analysis, he would suggest
that they continue the request. Staff
will get back to the Board at the next meeting.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide recommended giving the public an opportunity to make their
comments.
Chairman
Henley stated the Board will continue with the hearing and then decide whether
or not they want to close it to get an analysis from staff. He stated he received several letters in
opposition and some written comments with letters attached along with a
petition (all were received and filed).
Commissioner
Dallari stated he is submitting all of the e-mails (received and filed) that he
has received as well.
Michael
Dugre,
Mr.
Fisher left the meeting at this time.
Mr.
Dugre stated Rockinghorse Ranches is not a community in transition. Many of the property owners who have moved
into the community adhere to the community lifestyle and they want to keep it
that way.
Mr.
Fisher reentered the meeting at this time.
Mr.
Dugre concluded that the community recognizes that development is
inevitable. It is the right of the
property owner to develop that property, but it is not necessary to cram so
many houses in such a small area. The
value of the property stands on its own and there are people out there that are
more than willing to develop that property in a manner that mixes with the
community.

COMMISSIONERS’ REPORTS
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Mr. Fisher advised he met with Mr. Green
relative to the city of
Chairman
Henley stated he will be extremely disappointed if he reneged on his
agreement. The one issue that Mr. Green
needed to discuss with his official in
Mr.
Fisher stated it was clear to him that they would stand by their original
proposal.
Commissioner
Morris stated he would like to see a copy of what the talking points are so he
can see if it reflects on what occurred at the City of Lake Mary work
session. He stated the Board needs to
have legal presentation relative to what their legal rights are with respect to
the City’s Comprehensive Land Use changes.
Commissioner
Carey stated at that meeting, it was clear that Mr. Green was offering all the
points that he spoke to. The one in
question was the request for them to dedicate the right-of-way for the
extension of 417/International Parkway.
Commissioner
Morris stated the Board talked about doing a tri-party agreement and he would
like to know who is drafting it.
Mr.
McMillan stated once the Colonial issues are resolved, staff will then get
together with the city of Lake Mary to finalize the tri-party agreement.
Commissioner
Morris stated they offered three acres as well as for additional office to be
placed on green space land. They did the
original agreement with them and there is no such public purpose served of what
they want to do. The other thing is
there was a discussion of other uses for the nine acres.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Mr. Fisher advised he will provide the Board
with the talking points and staff can also provide a time table when things
will be taking place.
Mr.
McMillan stated he is not currently aware that there is a pending application
for a land use change.
-------
Commissioner
Morris referred to the personnel policy regarding the wage and hour and exempt
employees. He stated he doesn’t know
that internally within the County’s code that it is not in conflict. He said Ms. Coto will be coming on board on
May 1 and maybe they can bring this issue back during a work shop.
Chairman
Henley stated he doesn’t have a problem bringing an issue forward to see if it
is necessary to amend the policy code.
-------
Commissioner
Morris stated he is very concerned about the continuing corporate raiding of
the employees and other governments. The
Sheriff’s office has picked up another County employee. The Board had a direct request to hear about
hiring
Mr.
McMillan stated he sent a memo to the Board indicating that he had the ability
to do adjustments within his current budget.
He stated he will be meeting with the consultants to see what they have
come up with their surveys.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Fisher advised staff requested a specific
break out for planners, engineers and other positions. Staff will be meeting with the consultants
this week to obtain their findings.
Commissioner
Morris stated what concerns him is he has seen additional information where
governments are incentivizing hiring by potentially adding a $10,000 sign-on
bonus. He doesn’t feel the County is
competing aggressively in the market place.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he agrees that this is a problem that other counties are
dealing with as well and he feels the Board should address it.
Mr.
McMillan stated other county attorneys’ offices are having problems with
employees leaving as well. He stated he
can find 10 to 15 solicitations for
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated another factor is when they are trying to draw new
employees is the price of housing in
Chairman
Henley stated staff will be sharing that information as soon as possible.
Mr.
Fisher discussed with Commissioner Morris where they are on the 11% vacancy
issue.
Commissioner
Morris stated if staff has to come back to the Board for authorization, then
they need to be involved. He stated he
feels one should be aggressive in bringing personnel in to do the job or to pay
them to recruit to do the job. Otherwise
the impact of the budget is going to cost ultimately far greater than not
having them here at all.
-------
Commissioner
Morris stated he has two letters (one from the City of
Chairman
Henley stated he has responded to one of the letters and he is in process of
responding to the other.
-------
Commissioner
Morris stated the issue of a medical examiner was discussed a few years back
and the County ended up doing a joint contract with
Chairman
Henley stated he feels it is appropriate to look at the numbers to see how they
compare in the future. He stated the
County can discuss this issue with the hospitals to see if they have an
interest in partnering with the County.
Commissioner
Carey stated a lot of the hospitals have expansion programs going on and that
is the time to discuss this with them.
Chairman
Henley asked Commissioner Carey to contact the hospitals to see what kind of
reaction that they can get.
Commissioner
Morris stated he can pursue

-------
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he would like to see if there is something that can be
worked out to help the citizens testifying against a project rezoning. He stated he feels these people need to be
represented in some way or that they need to be warned by staff that if they do
not have professional representation, they could have trouble if it goes to
court.
Chairman
Henley stated it may be appropriate to develop some guidelines or information
sheets.
Mr.
McMillan stated in the past they have come up with alternatives and had to
proceed with the hearings. There was a
proposal to have someone whose job it was to put the other side of staff’s
recommendations on the record. The Board
wasn’t interested in doing a public advocate for those in opposition. He stated from his standpoint, he would like
to have enough evidence on both sides so the BCC’s decision is defendable no
matter which way it goes.
Commissioner
Dallari recommended putting an information packet clarifying to the public what
qualified testimony is and how emotions don’t play into it.
Mr.
McMillan stated
Commissioner
Carey stated staff could put the information together and post it as part of
the agenda item on the internet, then they could see it far in advance.
Mr.
McMillan stated if they wish to provide testimony, a pamphlet describing the
process would be available.
Chairman
Henley requested that staff put that together and bring it back to the Board
for review.

the make up of CALNO and its accomplishments.
She advised that the resolution being proposed relative to Home Rule was
dismissed. She stated one issue that was
discussed was the Leadership Seminole class project (Children’s Village) that
is being done and she has a complete list of needs to help renovate the
facility. They are in need of donations
of a lot of different type of things and any contribution would be
appreciated.

scheduled for April 18 and 19 and there will be discussions on how the Planning
Council will move forward in the future.

Commissioner
Carey wished everyone who will be celebrating Passover and Easter on Sunday a
happy holiday.
-------
Commissioner
Dallari updated the Board on driver’s education. He stated the School Board and John Bush,
Mayor of Winter Springs, will be trying to do a pilot program. He said he spoke to the Executive Director of
MetroPlan and they think they will be able to commit to teaching materials as
well as partially funding simulators. He
stated the Executive Director of MetroPlan will be going to
Commissioner
Morris requested Commissioner Dallari to mention to the MetroPlan Executive
Director that the MPO’s are having their Legislative meeting, he believes, on
April 27 or 28. He stated they may be

Affairs. He stated he has asked Carol
Phillips to present to the Board a report on their program called “Communities
for a Lifetime.” He submitted a packet

inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Commissioner Dallari advised he has not
discussed with the city of

Sherman, Deputy County Manager, stated staff is currently working with the
Association and pulling together facts and information so it can be brought
back to the Board.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Dallari,
Ms. Sherman advised she would have to get a status update on the exact timing,
but staff is doing due diligence to make sure that everything is viable.
Commissioner
Dallari stated the reason he was asking is because this is time sensitive.
Commissioner
Carey stated Commissioner Dallari can be the point person for the Board.
Ms.
Sherman stated staff is working directly with the National Soccer Association.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated the Board pledged money to the women’s softball team that
was going to be practicing at Merrill Park.
Chairman
Henley stated $400,000 was appropriated to bring the stadium up to par. He stated he feels it is appropriate for
staff to find out where they are in that plan.
Commissioner
Carey stated if that project isn’t moving forward or is no longer a viable
sport, then they should be looking at spending that money for women’s softball
at Jetta Point.
Chairman
Henley stated the Board needs to keep in mind that they approved this morning
an exception for them. The Board, at
their last meeting, amended their rules to go beyond the $25,000 for the
project to bring that venue of several different sports to
