Based on staff analysis, prior to all public hearings, staff recommends that the subject request is: (1) In compliance with the provisions of the Seminole County Comp Plan and the Land Development Code; (2) The request would be compatible with surrounding development; (3) Is considered in the 20-year services analysis as part of the County’s adopted plan and no development is authorized without meeting Concurrency requirements; and (4) Would be able to meet all environmental standards.

He advised the Board of a study conducted by the University of Florida which indicated that elevated levels of nitrate in children and babies can cause brain damage and stomach cancer in adults.

The Chairman advised of a letter from SJRWMD stating they do not detect the nitrate level to be above the maximum allowable 10 mg/L.

Dr. Meghdadi reiterated his concerns regarding his drinking water and stated it is a crime not to serve the health of the people of this County and not to let them know what is happening.

The Chairman advised Dr. Meghdadi that the letters he received from the Seminole County Health Department and the St. Johns River Water Management District are from the State of Florida, not from Seminole County. He stated that the County relies on these agencies for testing as they have the authority.

County Manager, Gary Kaiser, stated he would be happy to coordinate a meeting with Dr. Polkowski of the Health Department with Dr. Meghdadi.

Dr. Meghdadi stated that the EPA has told him that his water is contaminated and they are going to try to connect him to City water so he will be taken care of; but he is concerned about his neighbors.

No one else spoke in support or in opposition.

Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Maloy to approve rezoning, by Ordinance #98-24, as shown on page ________, from R-1AA to A-1 for property described as located on the south side of West Lake Brantley Road, north of Sand Lake Road, as described in the proof of publication, Klinger Enterprises, with staff comments; and to approve Development Order, as shown on page ________.

Under discussion, Commissioner Maloy stated he would support the P & Z recommendation and delete the dedication of all areas below the 100-year flood elevation to Seminole County as a conservation easement.

Commissioner Morris stated he would not support deleting staff’s recommendation and would support the motion as it stands. Whereupon, Commissioner Maloy stated he will go along with the will of the Board.

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

Proof of publication, as shown on page _________, calling for a public hearing to consider a request to rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) for a proposed satellite campus of the existing college; for property located on the southeast side of Lockwood Boulevard and on the east side of Old Lockwood Road, Seminole Community College, received and filed.

Mr. Fisher advised that on November 9, 1994, the BCC approved a special exception to allow the operation of 91,000 square feet of buildings and 1000 full time equivalency (FTE) students with 100 faulty members. The rezoning would allow 100,000 square feet of buildings and 1,300 FTE with Phase 1 to be completed by the year 2000. An additional 250,719 square feet of buildings and 2,600 FTE is proposed with Phase 2 and is to be completed by 2008. The total buildout is proposed to be 450,478 square feet. He advised that approximately 60% of the site appears to be flood prone and the site is located in the Econlockhatchee River Protection Basin. He further advised that based on staff analysis, prior to all public hearings, staff recommends that the subject request: (1) Is in compliance with the provisions of the Seminole County Comp Plan and Land Development Code; (2) The request would be compatible with surrounding development; (3) Is considered in the 20-year services analysis as part of the County’s adopted plan and no development is authorized without meeting Concurrency requirements; and (4) Would be able to meet all environmental standards.

Therefore, staff has no opposition to the adoption of an ordinance rezoning the property, as proposed, subject to: (1) The following improvements/contributions will need to be made when the development exceeds 2,400 FTE: (a) Pave Old Lockwood Road along the entire property frontage; (b) Participate in a pro-rata contribution for the paving of Old Lockwood Road from the south property line to McCulloch Road; (c) Pay pro-rata share for signalization of McCulloch and Old Lockwood Road; (d) Signalize the school entrance at Lockwood Boulevard or signalize the intersection of Old Lockwood Road and Lockwood Blvd., whichever meets warrants first; and (e) If found necessary by the City of Oviedo, participate in pro-rata share for improvements to Mitchell Hammock Road/Lockwood Boulevard and Lockwood Boulevard/CR 429; (2) Install a five foot sidewalk along all property frontages; (3) Dedicate all areas below the 100-year flood elevation to Seminole County or the State as conservation easement; (4) provide an off-site outfall drainage easement if found necessary; (5) Dedicate additional right-of-way as needed for required intersection improvements and paving of Old Lockwood Road; (6) Development shall comply with the Econlockhatchee River Protection Basin requirements; (7) No objection to the utilization of 9’ x 18’ parking spaces that result in a reduction in impervious surface area and protects additional natural vegetation and trees, and provides additional landscaping areas as compared to the results of utilizing 10’ x 20’; (8) Limit the maximum height for the bell tower to 90’ provided that there is no amplification from the tower or pedestrian access to the top of the tower. Limit the height of all other buildings to a maximum height of 50’; (9) A basin study to determine the pre and post 100-year flood elevation is required with submittal of the Final Master Plan; (10) Capacity of downstream stormwater system and ability to serve outfall from this project shall be addressed with the Final Master Plan; (11) Approval of the Preliminary Master Plan is a conceptual property layout and does not guarantee the ability to develop all areas as proposed; final engineering may reveal building constraints of the site; and (12) Apply for Concurrency Review Determination with the submittal of the Final Master Plan.

Mr. Fisher stated the P&Z reviewed this request and recommended approval subject to staff recommendations with the exception of building heights. The P&Z recommended that the permitted heights for buildings be 90’ for the learning resource center, the student center, and the bell tower. They also requested the ability to review the maximum height of other buildings during review of the Final Master Plan and they recommended that, where necessary, additional buffering be provided to screen the buildings from all adjacent properties.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Fisher stated there would be some logic to relooking at building heights during the Final Master Plan.

Discussion ensued between the Board, Civil Engineer, Tom Radzai, and Planner Dick Thomas, with regard to tying improvements and contributions to the FTE.

Attorney Donna McIntosh, representing SCC, addressed the Board to introduce Dr. Anne McGee.

Dr. Anne McGee, SCC President, addressed the Board to state she is very excited about the proposed new campus. She said this is an opportunity to build a $20 million campus with State PECO funds in the Oviedo area. She advised that SCC is 27^th of 28 in the State in useable space per FTE. She said this is their time to catch up. She urged the Board to approve their request.

John Rinehart, Consultant representing SCC, addressed the Board to submit into the Record the Preliminary Master Plan. He gave a brief presentation concerning the application and request. He explained that the reason the college has applied for PUD zoning is because they believe it is a more appropriate zoning than the A-1 with a special exception. He displayed illustrations of the Master Plan, Phase 1, and proposed parking (illustrations were received & filed). He stated that the college has been extremely focused on preserving as much of the site as environmentally possible so when the plan was put together, they have preserved most of the wetlands on the site. He said that there were a number of commitments made to the community with respect to buffers and setbacks when the special exception was approved, and the proposed plan submitted does maintain the 150 foot passive buffer along the south side, 200 foot building setback, and 50 foot natural, undisturbed buffer that surrounds the perimeter of the site, with the exception of where the entrances will occur. He said they concur with staff recommendations, with the exception of the building height issue.

The Chairman surrendered the gavel to the Vice Chairman and left the meeting at this time.

Mr. Rinehart continued his presentation, stating the nearest lot on the west side is approximately 400 feet from the closest building of Phase 1 in the center portion of the site. He said that the height is very important to them for the buildings located at the center of the site.

Commissioner Maloy expressed his concern with tying the contribution for the paving of Old Lockwood Road and the signalization of McCulloch and Old Lockwood Road to the 2,400 FTE’s.

Commissioner Morris re-entered the meeting at this time and assumed the position of Chairman.

John Collins, Red Ember Road, addressed the Board to read into the Record a letter (copy of same was received & filed) from his wife in opposition to the rezoning.

Mr. Collins expressed concern with not requiring the college to go through the D.R.I. process. Whereupon, Mr. Fisher advised the Board could place a stipulation on the development that any change other than what is shown on the plans would require Board review.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Maloy, Mr. Fisher advised County staff has advised him that this plan does not trigger the threshold for a D.R.I.

Mr. Collins stated he is concerned with the college’s contradictions of the numbers for the FTE’s when the special exception was presented. He said there seems to be a manipulation of the FTE’s. He believes the time limit for the special exception has expired because a building permit has not been issued. He also believes favoritism has occurred because the rules in order to acquire a special exception are that a plan should have already been in place and that rule was not enforced. He further stated that the site is not well drained and, therefore, does not meet the minimum requirements for an education facility, per Florida Law. He added that this is a question of right or wrong, and if the Board believes it is wrong for government to mislead and lie about the number of FTE’s and it is wrong for government to force a college into a residential and agricultural area, then the Board’s vote should be to deny this request. He said the problem is that the college could have gone through the D.R.I. process and a lot of his questions would have been answered, but they chose to try to push this through without the review. Copy of Mr. Collins’ presentation was received and filed.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Maloy, Mr. Collins stated he would rather see this property developed into single family homes.

No one else spoke in support or in opposition.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Maloy, Mr. Fisher advised staff’s opinion is that the college has a valid special exception and it is still active.

Commissioner Maloy expressed his concern with staff recommendation #10. Whereupon, Mr. Radzai advised the stormwater system and outfall from the project will be addressed with the Final Master Plan.

Commissioner Maloy stated this is obviously a major project with a lot of impacts, both traffic and water, and he is concerned with that. He said he wants to make sure that these issues are addressed properly during the final master planning process. He said the college is already approved to develop and he cannot see turning around and denying it. He believes if the college is going to be developed, he wants the County to have enough latitude to make sure the traffic and drainage concerns are going to be taken care of and the impact to the community is minimized as much as possible.

Motion by Commissioner Maloy, seconded by Commissioner McLain to approve the rezoning, by Ordinance #98-25, as shown page_________, from A-1 to PUD for a proposed satellite campus of the existing college for property located on the southeast side of Lockwood Boulevard and on the east side of Old Lockwood Road, as described in the proof of publication, Seminole Community College, and approval of the Development Order, as shown on page _________, with staff recommendations, with the exception of #1(c), adding that if the development is found to trigger warrants, in the opinion of the Traffic Engineer, the signalization would occur prior to the 2,400 FTE; with the revision of #1(b), that the pro-rata contribution for the paving of Old Lockwood Road from the south property line to McCulloch Road shall be at the time the County paves same; to substitute County staff recommendation #8 with the P&Z recommendation that any change of height will be brought back to the Board; and to include that the Board will review changes of campus building locations.

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

Commissioner Van Der Weide left the meeting at this time.

Sylvia Smith presented the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Lakehurst, located on the south side of Red Bug Lake Road, north of Lake Howell, approximately ¾ mile east of SR 436. She advised the plan consists of 83 lots on 128 acres zoned R1-A and R1-AA. The request also includes a variance to the minimum lot depth requirement for double frontage lots of 150 feet to 130 feet for the lots along Red Bug Lake Road. She stated the P&Z recommended approval of the plan. She further advised that the staff recommends approval of the plan including the variance requested, subject to the installation of a six-foot masonry wall along Red Bug Lake Road.

Commissioner McLain advised there is a concern in the community about a fence along the north/south property line adjacent to the other homes and questioned what consideration has been given this. Whereupon, Ms. Smith advised there is no Code requirement for a buffer adjacent to A-1 and if there were a consideration, it would have been done during the rezoning hearing.

Commissioner Maloy stated he received a letter from the developer advising they would be willing to put up a six-foot wooden fence as a voluntary commitment. Mr. Dwyer advised that on the second page of the letter, the developer has changed the six-foot wooden fence to an eight-foot wooden fence.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Dwyer advised to the best of his knowledge, he believes the property was properly posted for the rezoning.

Judy Stewart, Bowyer Singleton & Associates representing Centex Homes, addressed the Board to submit photographs of the property when it was posted for rezoning, and to state they also have an affidavit on file stating that the property was posted.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Adams, Ms. Stewart advised Centex Homes has agreed to erect an eight-foot wooden fence along the entire eastern boundary and to also only do single-story homes on the five lots in question.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, John Odom, developer, addressed the Board and Ms. Stewart agreed to do a five foot natural buffer along with the fence and agreed that the development will have a mandatory homeowners association with the fence to be held in ownership by them (with perpetual maintenance by them), with same to be included in the deed restrictions.

At the request of Commissioner Maloy, Ms. Stewart agreed to have the flat side of the fence facing out.

At the request of Commissioner Morris, Ms. Stewart agreed that the developer would mark off the area where the fence will be erected so that the natural vegetation will be preserved, and agreed to plant supplemental vegetation where there is none. Motion by Commissioner Adams, seconded by Commissioner Maloy to approve the Preliminary Subdivision Plan of Lakehurst, including the variance to the minimum lot depth requirement for double frontage lots of 150 feet to 130 feet for the lots along Red Bug Lake Road, and to accept all developer voluntary commitments made at this meeting.

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

The Chairman discussed with the Board, County Attorney, Robert McMillan’s, Annual Performance Review (copy of same was received and filed). He said he does not know of another County, except for maybe Orange County, that is more cutting edge than Seminole County. He, therefore, recommended a 5% salary increase.

Motion by Commissioner McLain, seconded by Commissioner Adams to approve a 5% salary increase for County Attorney, Robert McMillan, for his Annual Review.

Districts 1, 2, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

At the request of the Chairman, Director of Library & Leisure Services, Suzy Goldman, addressed the Board to distribute an information packet (copy was received & filed) on the Seminole County Web Page on the Internet and to give an update on same.

Chairman Morris stated he believes the Board should task each Division to provide updated information to the web page. Discussion ensued.

Ms. Goldman stated she feels strongly that the County needs greater internal capacity in terms of development. She stated that this is not included in H.T.E.’s contract. She said she would be happy to submit a proposal to the Board during the budget process. She also said that she would like to see this centralized.

Chairman Morris stated he disagrees with centralization and would like to see departments compete in providing information to the web.

The Board requested that a work session on this subject be scheduled prior to the June budget meetings.

-------

The Chairman stated he would like to invite Time Warner to be present to discuss with the Board the matter of putting Board meetings on television. He clarified that this is totally separate from the CALNO proposal.

The Board voiced no objections for staff to bring back costs and agreements with Time Warner for the broadcasting of BCC meetings.

--------

At the request of the Chairman, DCM, Cindy Coto, addressed the Board to give an update of the Metropolitan Environmental Training Alliance (METRA). She advised this was formed for local governments to take a role in educating and training its employees in environmental compliance. She said this is a public-private partnership to ensure the community knows how to properly handle hazardous waste. She further advised that since January, there have been a total of nine compliant inspections. She commended Tom Waters, Small Quantity Generator Program Coordinator, Public Works, who has worked diligently to establish this program.

The following Communications and/or Reports were received and filed:

Motion by Commissioner Maloy, seconded by Commissioner Adams to appoint Glen Austin to the Code Enforcement Board to fill the unexpired term of Peter Lyons, who resigned; and to adopt appropriate Resolution #98-R-97, as shown on page ________, commending Mr. Lyons for his services.

Districts 1, 2, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

Commissioner Adams stated he has been contacted by residents who live around small lakes that are having problems with jet skis and he questioned what is done with regard to no wakes. He said the City of Altamonte Springs does have an ordinance based on the size of the lakes and he would like the County Attorney’s office to look into this.

Deputy County Attorney, Lonnie Groot, addressed the Board to advise there is some legislature that is going to pass which relates to the operation of jet skis and the training for same. Whereupon, Commissioner Adams requested Mr. Groot to keep him informed on same.

--------

At the request of Commissioner Adams, Purchasing Manager, Kelly Loll, addressed the Board to discuss the letter (copy received & filed) to Chairman Linda Chapin, Orange County, regarding professional services guidelines and parity. She advised that there has been no response to the letter.

The Board requested staff to bring this back after July 1.

--------

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Adams, Ms. Coto advised the handling of the boarded-up homes on CR 427 has been transferred to Support Services. She stated they are in the process of looking at these properties for other uses or tearing them down as soon as possible prior to the road construction.

The Board directed staff to bring back a time line regarding these properties.

---------

Commissioner McLain briefly discussed with the Board a code enforcement issue relating to industrial use (parking trucks carrying steel) in the rural area of Black Hammock (Appellant’s Attorney Steven Bechtel). He stated he would like the Board to instruct staff to take another look at the land use code under Chapter 30 during the next cycle. He said he would also like to ask the Code Enforcement Board to hold any further action on this case until the County can address this issue.

Director of Planning & Development, Frances Chandler, addressed the Board to advise the next cycle would be this summer.

Motion by Commissioner McLain, seconded by Commissioner Maloy to direct staff to cease proceeding on the code enforcement issue on property in the Black Hammock area (Attorney Steven Bechtel) and in any rural area A-3, A-5 and A-10; and to suspend any fines on this case until such time as staff brings back change recommendations to Chapter 30, Seminole County Code.

Districts 1, 2, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

Commissioner McLain stated he would like to discuss an issue that came up under the District Commissioners’ Reports during the September 23, 1997 meeting regarding the County’s travel policy. He said he has taken some time to look into the actual discussion concerning the trip Commissioner Van Der Weide took to Holland and he is very concerned with what he has found. He said he feels that he was misled to a certain degree. He stated that it is clear that Commissioner Maloy and he have consistently opposed compensation for travel which was not receipted. He also stated that in reviewing the records, he has found that Commissioner Van Der Weide was treated differently than the other employees who took the trip because those employees had to reimburse their funds.

Commissioner McLain advised that the Board never approved travel to England. He also advised there was also discussion about Commissioner Van Der Weide’s difficulty in obtaining receipts for the trip. He said he has pulled all the travel vouchers and it is very interesting to him that Jack Wert and other staff who were on the trip had their receipts. He stated that he also believes there are areas of conflicts that come forward when you go on a trip and you are provided a meal and then collect for that meal, and he believes Commissioners should be beyond reproach on that.

Therefore, Commissioner McLain stated he would like to rescind his motion of September 23, 1997, as far as any waiver of receipts.

Motion by Commissioner McLain, seconded by Commissioner Adams to rescind the motion of September 23, 1997 waiving the requirement for receipts for Commissioner Van Der Weide’s trip to England and Holland.

Under discussion and upon inquiry by Commissioner Maloy, County Attorney, Robert McMillan, advised that this particular item was not a public hearing item; it came up under the District Commissioner’s Report.

Commissioner McLain pointed out that Commissioner Maloy voted against this motion. Whereupon, Commissioner Maloy stated he voted against everyone’s travel.

Commissioner Maloy stated this seems quite unusual to go back on this issue while there is an ongoing lawsuit currently in the courts. He said he cannot see going back and revisiting past actions, and feels the court battle should be settled before this is revisited. He added that Commissioner Van Der Weide is not present to defend himself.

Commissioner McLain stated that it is his opinion the Board made an error in judgment in going against the ordinance and granting money to be paid without receipts, when the ordinance clearly states receipts are required. He also does not want Commissioner Van Der Weide to be treated differently from County staffers.

Commissioner Maloy left the meeting at this time.

Upon inquiry by Chairman Morris, Commissioner McLain stated the Board never authorized travel to any place but Holland. He reiterated that he believes Commissioner Van Der Weide misled the Board, and said he wants to talk to him about that and is sorry he left this meeting earlier. He further said that there is some talk about how monies have been collected and other opportunities to claim for reimbursement and he would like to get that cleared up as a separate item. However, he feels this issue does not need Commissioner Van Der Weide’s appearance as he abstained from voting on this the last time because this was an issue concerning him.

Upon inquiry by the Chairman, Mr. McMillan advised the correct wording of the motion should be to reconsider. Whereupon, Commissioners McLain and Adams concurred.

Districts 2, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

Motion by Commissioner McLain, seconded by Commissioner Adams to require receipts for Commissioner Van Der Weide’s trip to Holland (Netherlands).

Districts 2, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 5:30 p.m., this same date.
