Report.
Ms.
Coto stated on February 12, 2008 the Board asked staff to do a small area study
relating to the UCF student housing application. She stated at the last BCC meeting Ms. DeBord
provided a scope of services that staff had developed. The consultant informed staff that the cost
would be $136,000 and it would take approximately 6 months to complete. She stated staff doesn’t have the necessary time
to do this as they are going through the EAR amendment. She said based upon the value they might
obtain from the small area study, the price tag and the present financial
situation, she is not sure she could recommend that staff proceed in that
manner.
Dori
DeBord, Planning & Development Director, addressed the Board to state the
consultant gave a careful and thorough analysis of the scope that staff
provided to them and the total cost is $136,815 for that study. She stated at this time they don’t have that
in their budget for consultant services and she would like some direction from
the Board as to what to do.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner McLean, Ms. DeBord advised the small area study will
look at about a 1½ mile radius around the UCF area, what would be the impact of
student housing, issues relating to transportation, multi-level use, property
assessment, property values, and activities regarding any type of Sheriff calls. It will also look at the effects on housing
and the type of housing market that will be developed around the universities, what
type of student housing would be available, household spending and demand for
commercial and retail services.
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Carey, Ms. DeBord advised if there were any issues, staff
would require the applicant to provide information on that.
Chairman
Carey stated she doesn’t see any reason for the County to spend $136,000 for a
specific project when it would not be part of their normal operating procedure.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Ms. DeBord advised the applicant is still
going through the Development Review process and they are in the process of providing
a very detailed parking study and they expect to have that to staff in the next
couple of weeks. Should staff be
satisfied with the results, they will continue moving it through the process.
Upon
further inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Ms. DeBord advised staff is waiting
for the parking study at this time as well as addressing other issues that came
from the Development Review Committee.
She stated she doesn’t know the timeline, but it may be before the Board
in the next several months.
Commissioner
Dallari suggested that until the Board gets a more solid base timeline from the
applicant, the Board take no action until they know what the timeline will be
and what the budget will be for the upcoming year.
Chairman
Carey stated she feels the applicant needs to go through the process of
bringing this forward, then the Board can make a decision.
Commissioner
Dallari stated he feels it is difficult to make a financial decision, therefore,
he is asking that a decision not be made at this time.
Commissioner
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he doesn’t think they can afford this under the budget
restraints. He stated he is not sure
that they need this as it is a very small area study for a 15-acre project.
Motion by Commissioner McLean, seconded
by Commissioner Van Der Weide to authorize not moving forward with the UCF
student housing small area study at all.

CHAIRMAN’S
REPORT
Chairman
Carey stated the SEOS came before this Board for a Qualified Defense Contractor
award and the State has notified the County that they are no longer eligible
for that award. It is going to be
transitioned to a Qualified Target Industry award. When it was a QDC award the amount was
$15,000, and that amount is going to be reduced to $9,000 as a result of that
action. She stated she will be sending a
letter to Tracy Turk indicating that.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded
by Commissioner McLean to authorize the Chairman to send a letter, as shown on
page_______, to Tracy Turk addressing the County’s position on the reduction of
the QDC contribution for SEOS.

Chairman
Carey updated the Board on the Commuter Rail.
She stated the Commuter Rail Committee is having a special meeting on
Friday. Commuter rail is a project that
has been on the books for a while and the liability issue did not get through
the Legislature this year. It is still a
funded project by the State and the Federal government. She said she spoke Congressman Mica and he
indicated that an amended bill will be signed by the President on Monday. The Federal funding will probably get
stronger and they don’t know if the Legislators will bring this up as a special
session. The funding is in place until
June 2009, so that project will continue to move forward.
Commissioner
Dallari stated he would like to know if the four counties involved will be
taking a different approach to try to lobby the State Senate and State
Representatives.
Chairman
Carey stated she knows that Senator Webster is trying to keep the $2 surcharge
in play as a way to help the funding.
FDOT feels comfortable moving the project forward.
Commissioner
Dallari stated he would like to see a better approach made to try to bring more
people in on the State level for the lobbying effort.

of loose ends that they need to put together.
He stated he will be meeting with the area’s veteran groups and they are
very responsive and have had some great ideas as well.
-------
Commissioner
McLean stated with regard to commuter rail he spoke to Bobby Brantley, Shutts
& Bowen, and he indicated that Senator Webster is a champion of his
initiative through the Senate and this is his last go round in his Legislative career. He
stated Senator Webster took the initiative to pull back the $2 rental surcharge
so that he can bring other counties from other parts of the State to the table.
Chairman
Carey stated a lot of the House and Senate representatives from
LEGISLATIVE
UPDATE
Sabrina
O’Bryan, Assistant County Manager, addressed the Board to advise the Legislative
session closed on Friday.
Chairman
Carey asked if the Taxation and Budget Committee meeting passed a bill that had
to do with school funding. Whereupon,
Ms. O’Bryan indicated that bill passed. The
Chairman said it will be difficult for any public agency to try and plan their
capital improvements program based on sales tax revenue, not knowing what that
number will be, and she hopes the voters will understand that when it go on the
ballot in November. She said she is
interested in hearing from the School Board.
Ms.
O’Bryan stated it was approved by the Taxation and Budget Reform Commission to
be placed on the November ballot and whatever action is taken at that time, the
Board will have an opportunity to determine whether or not that will be placed
on their future ballot.
Ms.
Coto stated the only item she will be bringing back at the next Board meeting
is the conflict counsel issue that is facing them in unfunded mandates. She stated staff will be doing more research
on that issue and that will be brought to the Board at the May 20 meeting.

APPEAL AGAINST BOA,
JEFFREY ECKER
Proof
of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to
consider an Appeal against the Board of Adjustment’s decision to deny a side
street setback variance from 20 feet to 10 feet for an existing wood privacy
fence in a PUD (Planned Unit Development), Jeffrey Ecker, received and
filed.
Planner,
Joy Williams, addressed the Board to present the request, advising the staff
recommends denial of the variance.
Jeffrey
Ecker, Appellant, addressed the Board to state he wanted to be a good neighbor
so he replaced his fence which was damaged.
He said he did not obtain a permit before erecting the fence and has
been trying to rectify that. The Board
of Adjustment denied the variance because of line of sight. He stated that he does not believe that is a
problem. He displayed an aerial (not
received & filed) of his neighborhood and pointed out the variances that
have been granted, including the property in front of his house and the
property in back of this house. He added
that there is very little traffic on his street and he does not believe there
is any danger with where his fence is placed.
He also stated that there is no one in opposition to this variance.
No
one else spoke in support or in opposition.
Upon
inquiry by District Commissioner Dallari, Ms. Williams advised the Traffic
Engineering staff reviewed this and they did not believe the variance would
create any safety issues. She also
displayed a map showing other variances in the area.
District
Commissioner Dallari stated he sees no reason to deny the requested variance as
there is no safety issue.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari,
seconded by Commissioner McLean to grant the appeal, thereby, reversing the
decision of the Board of Adjustment’s decision to deny a side street setback
variance from 20 feet to 10 feet for an existing wood privacy fence in a PUD
(Planned Unit Development) for property located at 899 Bates Court,
approximately ¼ mile west of Dodd Road, as described in the proof of
