Tony Walter, Planning Manager, addressed
the Board to introduce Cheryl Stolzenberg, Principal Coordinator, who presented
the Draft of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) 2006 (received and
filed) and requested Board direction to submit a draft of portions of the Draft
to the Department of Community Affairs for a courtesy review.
Commissioner Carey encouraged Ms. Stolzenberg
to talk to staff in
Regarding the eight areas of comments by
the P&Z, Commissioner Carey said she wants to make sure they consider all
the moving parts.
Commissioner Morris stated on some of the
changes, conclusions and recommendations, those were brought before the Board
for discussion over the course of last year.
In terms of the eight recommendations from the P&Z, the library one
concerns him. He is particularly
concerned about Item #2 on the East Rural Area, since this Board has not
dispensed with this item itself.
Mr. Walter advised staff will come back to
the BCC the first of next month before having to adopt the EAR.
Commissioner Morris directed staff to be
real cautious on Item #2.
Chairman Henley said he thinks they will be
better off to go with what the draft is and keep the eight items from the
P&Z in abeyance as the Board does not feel confident with the eight items
at this point.
The consensus
of the Board was for staff to submit the draft report without the
recommendations from the P&Z.
Motion
by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to direct staff to
submit the draft of portions of the Evaluation & Appraisal Report (EAR),
excluding the recommendations from the P&Z, to the Department of Community
Affairs for a courtesy review.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

Janet Davis, Human Resources Director,
addressed the Board to state in December, the Board selected Evergreen
Solutions to do the Compensation and Benefit Study. She advised the study will not be completed
until the end of this month. She
introduced Dr. Jeffrey Ling, Executive Vice President of Evergreen Solutions.
Dr. Ling addressed the Board to give a
PowerPoint presentation (copy was received and filed) of some of the major
findings of the study. Additional pages (copies
received and filed) of the proposed Pay and Classification Plan, Bands A
through F, were distributed. Dr. Ling
gave an interim update, reviewing the Project Scope, Project Methodology, and
Assessment of Current Conditions. During
discussion, he advised Chairman Henley that he is recommending complete
correction to the 50th percentile for each of the pay bands based on
what the level would be with experience.
He said not everyone would move to the mid-point, but it would vary by
the length of service. He said they will
lay out in the final report the guidelines that would give where some of the
people would be slotted. He suggested
rewarding individuals who have been committed to the organization by placing
them within a certain percentile.
Dr. Ling advised Commissioner Carey that
the pages distributed are replacement pages of the information in the agenda
packet.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Marie
Fox, Human Resources, advised that it has been nine years since the last study
was done. Whereupon, Commissioner Morris
said the bottom line is that staff has not brought to the Commission in nine
years an adjustment to look at the 50%.
He said this is not a policy-driven issue, but a staff/management driven
issue. There has been slippage and it
was not based upon any policy of the
Dr. Ling advised Commissioner Morris that
he did include in the survey of employees discussion about the free turkeys at
Thanksgiving. Commissioner Morris said
the elimination of the free turkeys at Thanksgiving brought up a morale issue.
Commissioner Carey said she doesn’t think
that program had a lot of bearing on the morale, because there was already a
morale issue.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated any
benefit you give to employees and then remove for whatever reason, to some
people it is much more significant than to others. He said the results of the study did not
shock him, but they have to remember that the Board has had the support of the
citizens on a regular basis so they are doing something right. The people who are really doing what is right
for the citizens are the employees out in the field. To keep at a competitive level and to make
sure Seminole County’s standing is not lost in the region, they had better do
what is right to make sure the employees stay in that position so they maintain
the benefits they have with the high quality employees throughout the
staff. He said the Board should look at
the budget and windfall they had last year; and he is hearing about a windfall
for this year.
Chairman Henley stated he agrees with
Commissioner Van Der Weide’s comments, but the thing they have to be careful
about with the windfall is that it doesn’t stop next year. They have to make sure what they do is sustainable
or they will have to take away more turkeys when the revenue starts
dropping. He said the individuals who
are most face-to-face with the public are the lowest paid employees. There are employees that are at on poverty
levels now, and he doesn’t think the report they have before them now greatly
improves that. The Board recognizes
there is a problem, and the majority of the workers are in those pay
bands. He added they must make a
substantial pay increase in that level.
Commissioner Morris stated he agrees with
both Commissioners. The leadership and
positions that are highly technical is why the Board pushed staff to do this
analysis. The Board raised the policy
issue because they were not seeing the issue come to them. They were concerned about losing the highly
technical positions that are very hard to recruit, and the Chairman is raising
the concern about “rank and file” at the lower levels. He said at the front end of this equation is
that the technical and professional positions need to be dealt with.
Chairman Henley said he was not ready to
adopt this yet. He said the Board asked
for the professional positions to come to them some time ago.
Commissioner Morris said staff is now
confusing the issue by moving the two together.
He asked if the Board could at least deal with the highly technical and
professional positions today.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he did not
have a problem dealing with that, but he doesn’t want to leave these
others. He thinks they can get by in two
weeks, but the Board needs to immediately approve the necessary dollars to keep
the key positions.
Commissioner Dallari said obviously, something
needs to be done. If they have people
working for the County who are on the poverty level, he wants to make sure that
is addressed. He can wait for the next
two weeks, but he wants to make sure they are not causing another problem of
compression by moving the technical positions up. He wants Dr. Ling to speak about compression
to be sure none of the employees are on the federal poverty list.
Motion
by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to approve the
necessary dollars ($800,000) for adjusting key positions, effective June 1,
2006, with staff to bring back in two weeks the adoption of the Pay and
Classification Plan and approval of funding ($3,500,000) for the overall Compensation
Plan effective October 1, 2006.
Under discussion, Dr. Ling advised
Commissioner Dallari that the questions he asked can be answered in two weeks.
Commissioner Carey stated the other thing
they may have to look to is hiring consulting firms to get the use of their
people while they need them. She is
saying an alternative source may be to use contracts they have in place to get
those people from the private sector.
Commissioner Morris said he thinks
Commissioner Carey is talking about a temporary, privatization period and he
doesn’t disagree with that.
Ms. Coto said she had to do much of what
Commissioner Carey was talking about and you have to pay a steep premium to do
that, but there are times it is necessary.
She would never want it as a long-term solution.
Commissioner Van Der Weide said they have
to take care of the employees they have.
If they have those situations out there, two weeks is fine, but let’s
not make the problem worse by ignoring the problem and have it continue to
grow.
Commissioner Morris repeated his motion for approval and said that is
with the comments by Chairman Henley, the compression issue by Commissioner
Dallari, and comments by Commissioner Van Der Weide to come back in two weeks.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner Dallari asked Ms. Coto to
review the performance evaluations to see if a study is needed. He said she can bring that back and if the
Evergreen contract needs to be amended, she can bring that back on the next
agenda.
Chairman Henley stated when he met with
Janet Davis, he asked her to give an indication of who the peers were and their
positions if they took into consideration the total benefit package. He also asked for an indication of what the
changes, reassignments and responsibilities have had on the pay bands. He would like some update on that issue to
come back in the final report in case the Board needs to look at some pay band
issues where certain positions are placed.
Commissioner Dallari questioned if the
Commissioner Carey said she thinks Dr. Ling
had started looking at that. She
encouraged Ms. Coto to review the discussions the Board had in the budget
sessions. She agreed this needs to come
back to the Board as a package.
Ms. Coto said she was here the last time
the Board had this discussion relating to compensation, benefits, performance
and evaluations and she sees it is more than timely to evaluate all those
again. She said she went through a very
similar process after she went to
Commissioner Morris said he is concerned
about the recruitment and bonus concept.
He asked Dr. Ling to come back with an explanation and discussion of
that. Dr. Ling said they will look at
that as part of the final report and make a recommendation.

for such services as water and sewer utilities, interior roadways, street
lighting, stormwater management, landscaping, recreational facilities, entry
features, and off-site improvements.
CDD’s are regulated by Chapter 190, F.S. and are independent special
purpose units of government established to finance basic services within a
development. Per Chapter 190, CDD’s with
less than 1,000 acres in size are approved by ordinance by the local jurisdiction. He reviewed the six factors (listed in the
Agenda Memorandum) outlined by the Statutes that local government should
consider in making a determination on a petition for the CDD. He further advised that after review, the
staff recommends approval of the petition, subject to an application fee of
$15,206.19, which includes all processing and administration costs associated
with approval of the petition.
District
Commissioner Carey commented that she has done a lot of research on this by
speaking with DCA and the Attorney General’s Office. She said she can understand why a developer
would request this if he is developing in an area that does not already have
infrastructure; but, she is not sure if it is necessary in this area where the
property is located. She also said that
this project in only 27 acres.
Attorney
Tom Cloud, representing the petitioner – Heathrow Oaks, LLC, addressed the
Board to state the statutory requirements with regard to their petition have
been met. He introduced Hank Fishkind of
Fishkind & Associates, advising Mr. Fishkind has been working on CDD’s
since 1983. He pointed out that there
are approximately 300 of these districts in the State and about 15% of them are
this size project.
Hank
Fishkind addressed the Board to advise his company is a financial and economic
advisory firm and they help form 200 of the 300 CDD’s in the State. He said they did help the Duda family form
the Dovera District.
Chairman
Henley disagreed with the statement in the petition (copy received & filed)
that said the district will prevent the general body of taxpayers in
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Fishkind advised it is their intent to turn
the internal roads over to the County for maintenance and items such as the
retention pond, wall, landscaping and drainage systems will be maintained by
the homeowners.
Commissioner
Morris stated it will require much thought by staff on how to handle the
right-of-way. Whereupon, Mr. Fishkind
advised that will be negotiated by the district with the Public Works
Department.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide said he personally doesn’t see any advantage to the taxpayers of
Discussion
ensued between the Chairman and Mr. Fishkind with regard to the disclosure
requirements. Mr. Fishkind advised there
is no disclosure on resales.
No
one else spoke in support or in opposition.
District
Commissioner Carey recommended denial of the petition.

Commissioner Dallari to deny Petition to form the Grande Oaks Community
Development District (CDD) consisting of 27.19 acres located on the northeast
intersection of Orange Boulevard and SR 46A, as described in the proof of
publication, Tom Cloud, Gray Robinson, PA.
Under
discussion, Commissioner Morris stated he does think this is an interesting way
to “skin a cat”. He said it appears this
may lead to a higher end development project.
He added that if everything is disclosed, he does not see a
problem.
Chairman
Henley said he can see where the district might be beneficial for larger
properties; but feels this will set a precedent on properties of this
size.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide reiterated that he does not see the advantage to the County.

APPEAL AGAINST BOA,
ED HAUSER
Proof
of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to
consider an Appeal against the Board of Adjustment’s decision to grant a
Special Exception for the continued placement of a mobile home for five years
at
Planner,
Kathy Fall, addressed the Board to present the appeal, advising the applicant
is requesting the permanent placement of an existing 1978 and a 1988
single-wide mobile homes that have been attached. In 1984, the property received a 10-year
Special Exception for one of the current mobile homes, which has since
expired. Since that time, the applicant
has placed a second mobile home on the property without a permit. She explained the applicant has combined the
mobile homes into one unit by constructing a screen room between the mobile
homes.
Ed
Hauser, appellant, addressed the Board to request the BOA be overturned and a
permanent permit be granted for his property.
He said he has been a good steward of the land. He discussed his taxable value and said he
has never complained about paying his taxes.
He stated that he appreciates the personal interest the Commissioners
have in his property and requested that the application fee be waived. He thanked the County staff for working with
him and for doing an outstanding and in depth review of this request.
Commissioner
Morris advised he has met with Mr. Hauser and appreciates what he is trying to
do. He clarified that the taxable value
of this property has nothing to do with the request. He also clarified that proper permits are not
in place.
Mr.
Hauser said that he has had two code enforcement violations. One because of not having a Special Exception
on the property and the other one for not having a permit on his office
building.
Commissioner
Morris also commented that the first mobile home was purchased in the 80’s and
has no paperwork (wind load standards) on it.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Ms. Fall advised the original mobile home
placed on the property in 1984 was permitted and that permit expired in
1994. She further advised that Mr.
Hauser has since placed the second mobile home on the site without a permit and
that mobile home needs to meet wind load standards. Upon review, the building inspector could not
find the sticker on the mobile home verifying that it meets that criteria. She said the second area of concern is Mr.
Hauser putting both mobile homes on the property and connecting them with a
screen enclosure and the third area of concern is the office/shop structure
that does not have a building permit.
Commissioner
Morris said there is also a question about the drain field.
Mr.
Hauser stated he put in an oversized drain field and the tank has only needed
to be pumped once in 15 years.
Commissioner
Carey relayed that the Building Department has said they cannot determine if
the trailers meet the wind load standards.
She said she does not have a problem with mobile homes on the site; but
her concern is with the safety and she would like to know whether or not the
trailers can be permitted or not.
Commissioner
Morris stated there are multiple issues on this property and after dealing with
this for ten months, there does not appear to be anything resolved.
Ms.
Fall said in those ten months, no improvements have been made on the
property.
Attorney
McMillan said the Special Exception does not address the office/shop structure
that is on the property without a permit.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, DCM, Don Fisher, addressed the Board to advise
there was nothing preventing Mr. Hauser from applying for a permit after the
BOA granted the five-year placement of the mobile homes.
Commissioner
Morris commented that there is also nothing preventing the code review of the
violations on the property. He said Mr.
Hauser has chosen not to go through the permitting process and County staff has
chosen, on their own, not to pursue this.
He added that is what concerns him.
No
one else spoke in support or in opposition.

APPEAL AGAINST BOA,
KIMBERLEE ANN PAY BAKER
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 Special
Exception for the permanent placement of a mobile home located at
Planner,
Kathy Fall, presented the appeal, advising the BOA denied the request for the
permanent placement of a mobile home based on the finding that the trend of
development in the area did not support the placement of a mobile home. She further advised that since 1984 the
property has been granted three renewals for the placement of a mobile home. That mobile home was destroyed by a tornado
in 1998. In 1999, the applicant
constructed a conventional single family home on the site. The applicant is requesting the permanent
placement of a 2006 mobile home.
Kimberlee
Ann Pay Baker, appellant, addressed the Board to advise she is requesting the
permanent placement of a 2006 mobile home so that her elderly disabled parents
can live near her. She gave a history of
this property which she purchased in 1983.
She said the septic tank system can handle a 3,300 square foot home and
the mobile home she is getting is 960 square feet. She also said that there are other mobile
homes in the area.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Ms. Fall explained staff is opposed to the
permanent placement because the other mobile homes in the area are temporarily
permitted and the BOA did not feel the final build out of the area would be for
mobile homes. She added the property is
close to the airport and the HIP area.
Ms.
Baker advised the mobile home has a single roof and siding and it will not be
seen from the road. She added that none
of her neighbors are opposed to it.
Jim
Michaels, Ms. Baker’s father, addressed the Board to explain the reason they
are asking for the permanent permit is because it is a large investment and he
does not want his daughter to be stuck with it after he and his wife die.
No
one else spoke in support or in opposition.

Request Form was received and filed.
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded

placement of a mobile home located at

consider an Appeal against the Board of Adjustment’s decision to deny a fence
height variance from 6 feet to 8 feet for an existing fence in the R-1AA
(Single Family Dwelling District) for property located at
Planner,
Ian Sikonia, addressed the Board to present the request, advising the BOA
denied the request based on a determination that an 8-foot fence would not be
in keeping with the character of the neighborhood and that it was a
self-imposed hardship since the applicant constructed the fence without
obtaining a building permit. He further
advised the staff recommends denial of the appeal because it does not meet the
six criteria for it to be considered a hardship.
The
Chairman called for the appellant and anyone who wished to speak at this
time. Hearing none, he closed the public
input.
District
Commissioner Van Der Weide briefly discussed the appeal.

was determined that the appellant was in attendance at this time.

Christine
Menzel, appellant, addressed the Board to state none of her neighbors have any
objections to the 8-foot fence.
District
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated one thing that stands out to him is that the
bad side of the fence is facing out and it should be facing in.
Ms.
Menzel stated she would have no problem turning the fence around.
District
Commissioner Van Der Weide requested Ms. Menzel obtain written permission from
her neighbors stating they do not have any problems with the height of the
fence. He also suggested that the
neighbor’s broken fence be taken down.
He said he would recommend continuing this so that Ms. Menzel can get
this permission in writing.
No
one else spoke in support or in opposition.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded
by Commissioner Carey to continue until May 23, 2006, an Appeal against the
Board of Adjustment’s decision to deny a fence height variance from 6 feet to 8

Commissioner

withholding all appropriations other than what the Board has specified action
on.
Ms.
Spriggs stated that this action by the Board would not change the content of
the resolution.
Harry

CHAIRMAN’S
REPORT
Chairman
Henley advised of a letter (not received & filed) from Winter Springs Mayor
John Bush stating the City is not able to pay the additional amount of money to
move the trail.
The
Board’s consensus was to defer this
at this time and if Winter Springs wants to connect down the road, they
can.

the City.

Therefore, he would like to move that up to right before the consent
agenda. He said with the Board’s
permission, he will develop a request card for citizens who wish to speak to
fill out.
Commissioner
Morris objected, stating this will be opening the consent agenda up to a public
hearing process. He said he feels this
is a big mistake when there is no demand for it. He added that he has never received any
complaints about this.

Van Der Weide stated he is in favor of backing the Chairman, but he can see
Commissioner Morris’ point. He added
that he does not want to turn this into a public hearing.
