recovery and love to DCM Sally Sherman, who was at home recuperating from
surgery.
All Commissioners and Mr. Grace expressed
personal comments of appreciation to Ms. Mantzaris for her loyalty and
professionalism in the work place and wished her a long and happy retirement.
Ms. Mantzaris introduced her son and
daughter to the Board.
-------
At the request of Sheriff Don Eslinger,
Chairman McLain went next to Item #35 on the agenda.
Planning and Development Director Don
Fisher addressed the Board to state it appears the pilot project with the
Sheriff’s Office for code enforcement was a success. He reported that responsiveness has increased and much of the
paperwork has not been necessary. Corrections
are being made much sooner than in the past, and more community meetings have
been attended. The Sheriff and County
Manager feel it is time to make this a permanent assignment. He said staff is recommending the Board
enter into the proposed interlocal agreement with the Sheriff.
Motion by Commissioner Morris,
seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to approve the Interlocal Agreement, as shown on page _______,
between the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office and Seminole County, assigning
duties, responsibilities, and personnel for Code Enforcement to the Seminole
Sheriff’s Office; and authorize Chairman to execute the document.
Under discussion, Commissioner Henley
stated they all know the citizens are still going to hold the County
responsible for enforcement since the Commissioners get most of the calls
now. In order for the Board to be able
to maintain accountability and also some degree of control over that, he would
like to insist that the budget be kept separate and not co-mingled, and
presented to the Board as a separate issue rather than just being a part of the
Sheriff’s budget, so the Board can more clearly identify what they are putting
into code enforcement and that they have some accountability over it.
Commissioner Morris said he thinks that
would be a good friendly amendment, and he added that it would be
good in the next budget year that the Board receive a report on the progress of
how this has gone.
Whereupon,
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he had no objections to the
amendment. He said he is looking
forward to referring any inquiries from the citizens in his district to the
Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff
Eslinger addressed the Board to state he is glad to have this opportunity to
relieve this responsibility from the Board.
Commissioner
Morris thanked the Sheriff and Mr. Grace for being willing to take this matter
up.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
Chairman
McLain advised of a correction to Item #13 documentation (copy of Revision page
received and filed) to read an estimated annual amount of $50,000 and not $30,000.
Commissioner
Maloy referred to Item #9 regarding major road projects and questioned if the
Board would hear discussion on Lake Emma Road design and funding before they
take action.
Pam
Hastings, Public Works, addressed the Board to advise the Board will receive an
update. There will be a community
meeting and staff needs the consultant to participate in that meeting. She will bring this back to the Board for
the appropriate designation in next year’s budget for construction budget
adjustment if the Board chooses to direct that.
Commissioner
Morris stated this was a very difficult issue.
At the community meeting, some 400 people attended and had a spirited
discussion. Subsequently, there were
meetings with the cities and homeowners associations along E. E. Williamson
Road and City of Longwood with the citizens.
He said the issue dealt with traffic issues on Lake Emma and Rangeline
Roads and brought all kinds of ideas.
It is an issue that is so complex, and the solution at the time was to
not attract more traffic into the area but build a road and widen it in the
area where critical. The Board decided
to go into two stages and that seemed to take care of the two issues. The plan was to do two phases and then see
what the traffic counts would be, and apparently the counts now justify
widening the road. Commissioner Morris
said it greatly concerns him that they are seeing articles in the newspaper by
County staff who are stating positions, that they may be intending to present
in proper fashion to the Board but have not been made, when this Board has
never discussed the issue. This has
happened across the board. It goes
under professional management of the information being put out to the press and
the public at large. He said he still
has not seen the proof in any fashion that they should change what was agreed
to with the citizens, and if they do, they had better be out in the community
with a similar meeting as before with the citizens.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated there is a big issue with whatever they do with Lake Emma
Road. He has some major concern with
what would take place on Longwood Hills Road.
Whatever they do with Lake Emma would trickle a real need for Longwood
Hills Road and E. E. Williamson Road.
He agreed with Commissioner Morris and said he thinks the Commission
should be consulted before they get into this position and they start receiving
phone calls at home about these issues.
Commissioner
Henley stated in listening to some of the conversations, he questions whether
they need to widen the entire road or not.
If that is true, why is the County acquiring all that property? He would like to know how many pieces of
right-of-way does the County have and the question is should they be getting it
at all if the Board is not going to widen it.
Commissioner
Morris said they believe widening is necessary for the road at the north end of
Lake Emma. The question is at what
point do they widen it. The Board had
delayed the widening because of the traffic counts. The issue of acquiring right-of-way once the design was done was
to save money. They know the road will
be widened one day. In Phase 2, the
southern portion may not be widened until 2010, but the right-of-way is still
going to be needed.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide said there is a big difference in the two ends of the road. One end needs to be widened, but he asked
what might be done in reference to the residential (south end).
Commissioner
Henley said he would like to know the plans on a start date.
Chairman
McLain said with the concerns of the Board, maybe staff is premature in moving
forward with the road until the Board has a briefing and staff receives their
input.
Commissioner
Henley suggested staff take a new look at the engineering because they run into
all kinds of problems because of using plans that were previously made years
before.
Chairman
McLain entered discussion with Mr. Grace about pulling a portion of this item
and have staff bring it back later.
Mr.
Grace said he is confident they are going to need the right-of-way at some
point and it is never going to be cheaper than it is today. He thinks the Board needs the right-of-way
and needs the budget change.
County
Attorney Robert McMillan stated he understands there is going to be redesign of
the road. That is going to be looked at
and meetings will occur and other parties will look at the road to design
it. He said 60% of the parcels have
already been acquired. Staff was to
file on the remaining parcels in February and they were held up on because of
the issue of looking at the design again.
Until that time, staff is not filing on any new parcels.
Mr.
Grace said staff would bring this discussion back in a briefing setting. Commissioner Morris said when the
Commissioners are individually briefed, they need to understand the
intersection improvements of Lake Emma, Longwood Hills, and Rangeline
Roads. He noted that many of the
homeowner associations Commissioner Henley is dealing with are not taking the
same position that the other homeowners did.
Chairman
McLain said he attended the community meeting held before and they did have the
involvement of quite a few people. He
thinks the Board needs to move cautiously and respect the position the Board
took at that time.
Commissioner
Morris suggested that staff also communicate with the Cities of Lake Mary and
Longwood.
Commissioner
Henley thanked Ms. Hastings for her effort to provide the fund balances
information he requested previously. He
said hopefully in the future, that will be included so the Board will not have
to ask for it.
Motion
by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Morris to approve and
authorize the following:
7. BCR #03-58 – $880,000 –
Public Works – Stormwater – Fund: 13000 – Stormwater Fund. An accounting transfer is
requested to consolidate funding for the Elder Creek Stormwater project into a
single Capital Improvement Project.
8. BCR #03-59 – $90,000 –
Public Works – Traffic Engineering – Fund: 11500 – 1991 Sales Tax Fund. The City of Casselberry has requested the design and
reconstruction of the traffic signal at SR 436 and Wilshire Boulevard. The City will reimburse the County once the
work is completed. Request a transfer
from 1991 Sales Tax reserves.
9. BCR #03-60 – $20,431,000
– Public Works – Engineering – Funds: 11500-Infrastructure Tax/12601-Arterial
Road Project/12602-North Collector Fees/12603-West Collector Impact
Fees/12604-East Collection Fees/12605-South Central Impact
Fees/10101-Transporation Trust fund. This transfer realigns funding among various
projects within the budgeted FY 02/03 Major Roads Projects Capital Improvement
Program. These adjustments are the
result of updated cost and phasing estimates developed in conjunction with
closeout of FY 01/02 and preparation for the new FY 03/04 two-year budget
cycles. This transfer does not draw on
any Reserve accounts and therefore there is no increase to the overall Major
Road Projects Capital Improvements program.

SHERIFF’S OFFICE
Regarding
Item #30, Commissioner Henley questioned how much funds has the County already
given to The Grove Counseling Center.
Whereupon, Mr. Grace stated he would have to check that.
Commissioner
Henley stated it concerns him that The Grove seems to hit every governmental
agency more than once. He is reluctant
on wanting to give them more. He asked
if, on these requests, staff would indicate the fund balance so the Board could
get some idea of how the funds are running.
Chief Fleming, Sheriff’s Office, stated she would do that.
Commissioner
Henley referred to Item #31, page 12 of the COPS Homeland Security Overtime
Program Grant Application, and asked what numbers should go in the blanks for
FY 2003 and FY 2004. Whereupon, Chief
Fleming stated she would have to report back to him later in the meeting with
those figures as she did not have that information with her.
Returning
to Item #30, Mr. Grace reported that Dave Medley, Community Services, advised
the County funded The Grove $74,000 per year and that amount has been steady
for the last few years.
Motion
by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to approve and
authorize the following:
30. Authorize expenditure in the amount of $10,000 from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund to contribute to the Grove Counseling Center in support of its substance abuse programs.
32. Approve Budget Amendment Resolution #2003-R-107, as shown on page _______, in the amount of $98,490 – Fund: 00100 – General Fund, for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Grant for the Sheriff’s Office FY 02-03 budget.
Regarding Item #31, Commissioner Morris stated this is a matching grant program and he would like to see a little more information about what is going on in the appropriations. These are federal mandates and requirements. The federal government has not even closely begun to honor what the public statements have been relative to the funding requirements. He would like to get more information on what the Sheriff’s Office action has been as a first responder.
Commissioner Henley said he thinks the heat
needs to be put on the Congress to go ahead and release this money. He thinks the Board needs to contact the
Congressmen.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
Chairman McLain asked Chief Fleming if she could provide the additional information for Item #31 after the Board returns from a break.
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Mr. Grace stated he does not have a legislative update, but staff is trying to sort Article V and what was done. He said it’s tough to figure out how to budget for this upcoming year.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide asked how soon will staff have a report on how what’s taken place
in Tallahassee will affect Seminole County.
Mr. Grace responded probably in a week or two. He noted that the state would be taking 30% of the Clerk’s gross
revenue off the top. Her initial
comment is that it looks like her revenues will be $1.5 million to $2 million
short.
Commissioner
Morris requested to know what the voting record is for the Legislative
Delegation on these matters.
-------
Chairman
McLain recessed the meeting at 10:26 a.m. and reconvened at 10:40 a.m.
Sheriff’s Office, Continued
Chief
Fleming advised the Board that the total overtime budgeted for the Sheriff’s
Office is $2,173,521 and out of that amount, $1,496,402 is for law enforcement. The proposed budget for next year totals
$2,459,250 for overtime. Of that
amount, $1,651,250 is for law enforcement.
Motion
by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Henley, to approve and
authorize the Chairman to execute grant application and associated grant
documents, as shown on page _______, for the U.S. Department of Justice, COPS
Homeland Security Grant and authorization to process all associated grant
documents.
District 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
Susan Caswell, Director of Operations, East
Central Florida Regional Planning Council, addressed the Board to give a
PowerPoint Presentation (copy received and filed) detailing results of the REMI
(Regional Economic Models Inc.) model.
Commissioner Morris acknowledged that Sandra
Glenn, Executive Director of the Regional Planning Council, was present;
whereupon Chairman McLain invited her to come forward to address the Board.
Ms. Glenn stated Ms. Caswell has worked real hard on
this project and given this presentation in several places.
Ms. Caswell stated she would discuss the
model, what it is and what it does. She
explained that this tool could model the total economic impact of all kinds of
events and policy issues. It is
custom-built for each region. She reviewed
the projects that have been modeled to date and discussed future projects.
The Chairman thanked Ms. Glenn and Ms.
Caswell for their presentation.
-------
Bill McDermott, Economic
Development Director, addressed the Board to request Board approval and authorization for the Chairman to
execute a Jobs Growth Incentive Economic Development Agreement between Seminole
County and Florida Extruders International, Inc. in the amount of
$150,000. He introduced Stephen Littles
of Florida Extruders who was in attendance.
Mr. McDermott stated Florida Extruders is
planning to expand and add 155 additional employees. He said the City of Sanford has agreed and approved their portion
of the JGI agreement on this project.
He recommended the Board authorize the Chairman to enter into this
agreement.
Chairman McLain said last month there was a
job fair in Midway and he hopes in moving this company into that neighborhood,
Florida Extruders will take advantage of those applications received and try to
incorporate those job applicants from that community.
Mr. McDermott said
Mr. Littles is agreeable to give every consideration to the residents of
Midway, and he would be delighted to participate in any other job fairs in the
neighborhood. Mr. McDermott stated from
his conversation with Commissioner Henley, it appeared in the newspaper that
the City of Sanford based their JGI commitment contingent upon funding of the
program in next year’s City budget. It
would probably be appropriate for the Board to say they are willing to enter
into this agreement contingent upon the City’s participation.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Henley, to
approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a Jobs Growth Incentive Economic
Development Agreement, as shown on page _______, between Seminole County and
Florida Extruders International, Inc. in the amount of $150,000, contingent
upon the City of Sanford’s full participation.
Under discussion, Commissioner Maloy stated to him it is difficult to keep approving these when flooding situations come up like the lady in Chuluota had, and they could not help because there were no funds. He thinks it is becoming a bigger issue as the budget keeps getting tighter and tighter. He asked how could the Board keep justifying these economic agreements when basic services are not being met.
Districts
2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner
Maloy voted NAY.
-------
Jeff Hopper, Senior Planner, addressed the
Board to present the request for
approval of the Final Site Plan and Developer’s Commitment Agreement for
Kirtley Center PCD in order to develop approximately 20,000 square feet of
office/warehouse space in a 1.7 acre site; located 500 feet north of the
intersection of CR 427 and Longwood-Lake Mary Road, west side of Longwood-Lake
Mary Road (William Kirtley).
Mr.
Hopper stated the Board approved the Preliminary Master Plan on February 25,
2003, and since that time, a change was made for a total of 64 parking
spaces. Staff finds the Final Site Plan
and Developer’s Commitment Agreement are consistent with the preliminary
development plan and development order.
District Commissioner Henley said he thinks moving
the retention pond off site had an impact on the parking and they were able to
save more trees. He thinks this is the
best they can get with the situation the way it is.
Motion
by Commissioner Henley, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to approve the
Final Site Plan and authorize the Chairman to execute the Developer’s
Commitment Agreement, as shown on page _______, for Kirtley Center PCD in order
to develop approximately 20,000 square feet of office/warehouse space in a 1.7
acre site; located 500 feet north of the intersection of CR 427 and
Longwood-Lake Mary Road, west side of Longwood-Lake Mary Road, William Kirtley,
based on staff findings.
Commissioner
Morris said he appreciates the good work the District Commissioner has done to
save the trees. This is a very strong
development site in terms of intensity.
He asked staff to add in some language to protect those trees when
construction is going on. He suggested
using the 2 X 4 system and inspecting that.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Director
Gary Johnson, Public Works, and Frank Van Pelt, Engineering, addressed the
Board to present signage for consideration of a design for the POW/MIA sign
format for installation along Airport Boulevard from U.S Highway 17/92 to the
Orlando Sanford Airport property boundary.
Mr. Johnson asked if the Board felt it appropriate to put the Seminole
County logo on the sign.
Under
discussion, Commissioner Henley said he does not think it is necessary to put
the County logo on the sign.
Motion
by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Morris, to approve the
traditional POW/MIA sign format for installation along Airport Boulevard from
U.S Highway 17/92 to the Orlando Sanford Airport property boundary.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
Mr. Johnson said the Board will be notified
of the time of the installation ceremony.
Upon
inquiry by Mr. Johnson, the Chairman stated he would like the signs to be
placed at 17-92 and Airport Boulevard heading east and at Sanford Avenue and
Airport Boulevard.
Commissioner
Morris thanked staff for the initiative in coming up with the signage
alternatives.
County Manager’s Briefing
Mr.
Grace said he received a phone call from the Governor’s Office that the
Legislature approved a portion of the 417 Greenway as the Korean War Veterans
Highway. He advised the Governor that
the Board was not aware of that, but he felt sure they would not have any
objections.
Commissioner
Morris said the idea of specifying individual wars is one that becomes very
difficult. He believes in the concept
of honoring the military for what it does and what has occurred. He said the key would be a wider
designation. He has trouble with select
places.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he served in the military. He thinks the veterans recognize the other veterans whatever war
they served in. He said if you name one
particular conflict or war, someone is going to want a memorial for the other
one. He thinks the noble thing to do is
to recognize the veterans in general.
Chairman
McLain said the Board’s position would be to see it designated as a road to all
veterans.
Commissioner
Morris said he thinks a combination would be better and suggested sending a
letter to the Governor.
Mr. Grace stated this has already been
approved. This may be something they
can communicate to their own Legislative Delegation. He assumes it is the Seminole County portion of the road since
the Governor took the time to call his office and see if he had a position on
it. He said he would find out who
sponsored this.
Infrastructure
Challenges
Gary Johnson and
Mark Flomerfelt, Stormwater Manager, addressed the Board to give an overview of evolving infrastructure challenges
faced by the Road Operations and Stormwater Division of the Public Works
Department.
Mr.
Johnson stated staff has a summary presentation (copy of PowerPoint
presentation was received and filed) that was shared individually with the
Commissioners that describes what is occurring in terms of operations in Public
Works, specifically Road Operations and Stormwater. He said the current programs are consuming the operating
resources. The system is growing and
they are facing some challenges as they go into the budget cycle and rainy
season.
Mr.
Flomerfelt reviewed the following topics:
Recently Added Operational Programs; Current Programs: Sidewalks, Landscaping, Mosquito Control
2003 Program; and NPDES Update.
Mr.
Johnson said Phase IV of the NPDES is where interesting negotiations will
occur. The County will sit with the
seven cities and hopefully decide how to allocate the load reductions and
allowable discharges for the entire County.
There could be implications regarding water quality facilities that
might need to be constructed where they will potentially affect development in
the cities and county.
Mr.
Flomerfelt said there are a lot of opportunities to work with the cities on these
projects. He said he will bring more
information as he forms that list and will brief the Board as they move
forward.
Commissioner
Henley said to him this is a prime example of whether there ought to be
consolidation because the County is not going to solve the problems, such as
flooding, on its own and neither can the city.
Somewhere along the line there needs to be an effort initiated to
consolidate this into one effort and perhaps come up with some designated
funding. He encouraged Mr. Grace to
discuss this at the City Managers/Mayors meeting.
Commissioner
Morris said he thinks that is an excellent concept and in a formal
consolidation, they may set up a membership authority. He said it doesn’t help to clean out a canal
in the unincorporated County and then it run into the city where it is not
cleaned out. He thinks with the group
they can get efficiency administratively and better planning.
Commissioner
Henley stated he thinks it is important to put this on the table and see what
they come up with.
Mr.
Flomerfelt continued with an update on the rainfall since January 2002. He further reviewed the following
topics: Rising Lake Levels; Capital
Improvement Program; Deficiency Correction Projects; Future Development
Drainage Techniques (he indicated there are currently 97 projects not funded);
and Neighborhood Drainage Projects.
Chairman
McLain stated he has had some concerns about the Indian Mound Village project
that some public roads are being blocked.
Mr. Flomerfelt said he was aware the road was blocked but he didn’t
think the project had any impacts on that.
This used to be a public road and one part of it was vacated. Chairman McLain asked Mr. Grace to get some
information to him on the vacate of the road.
Mr.
Johnson said the current projects are not generating savings this year so they
don’t have funding identified in the budget that the Board will review next
month.
Mr.
Flomerfelt reviewed the Subdivision Rehabilitation information and said lacking
additional funding sources, staff cannot address the additional issues. Currently, there is no funding available.
Commissioner
Maloy asked what projects would the lack of funds be eliminating. Mr. Grace said staff would get that list to
him.
Commissioner
Maloy said he recalls discussion that the landscaping would be scaled back, but
on 427 it still seems like the County is doing a lot of the shrubbery. He also said on Tuskawilla and Seminola,
there are dozens of dead plants that need to be replaced.
Commissioner
Morris said this has been a problem for years.
He stated it is clear that privatization of landscaping maintenance has
been a failure. He stated he would like
to hear a better suggestion. He said
Tuskawilla Road has consistently been an issue and Lake Mary Boulevard is another
one.
Mr. Grace said maybe
the staff could bring back some other ideas during the budget process. Whereupon, Chairman McLain suggested the
Board look at the County doing its own maintenance during the budget process.
Commissioner Van Der
Weide discussed that new projects are budgeted at 3%. He said maybe they don’t need 3%. He said all the figures should be up to 3%. Whereupon, Commissioner Morris said the
policy passed was up to 3% and not a mandatory 3%.
Chairman McLain
summarized that the Board wants staff to reevaluate the maintenance and
landscaping plan for the major roads and bring that back. Also, look at regionalizing the stormwater
plan with the cities and provide better services to the residents. The Board is expecting staff to bring this
back between now and the budget process, but probably during the budget.
Mr. Grace said staff
wants to make sure the Board understands that many of operational demands are
relating to sidewalks and landscaping.
They are consuming more and more into the current revenue streams and
the result of that is there is very little money for a lot of the capital
needs.
Commissioner Van Der
Weide left the meeting at this time.
Mr. Grace continued
that the roads in many of the subdivisions need to be redone. In the next couple years, they need to come
up with long-term funding to address these problems.
Commissioner Henley
said when they get into the budget this year, he thinks it is important to
recognize they only have so many dollars and distribute it where they have the
greatest impact upon the quality of life.
He said flooding and drainage have been neglected and it is something
they have to take a look at. The Board
can’t say they don’t have the money to do it when they are sitting with an $800
million budget and choosing to spend the money over here rather than over here.
Commissioner Morris
reiterated comments on the maintenance issue.
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT, Continued
Chairman
McLain stated if there are no objections, he will have staff prepare for his signature
a letter to send to the Governor supporting the Lynx Bill reorganization. The Board had no objections.

VACATE
AND ABANDON/Michael & Donna Yates (Continued)
Continuation of a public hearing to
consider request to Vacate and Abandon a 330’ +/- portion of Sixth Street, a
70’ wide unimproved right-of-way that abuts Lots 9-12, Block 40 and Lot 4,
Block 53 in Chuluota, as described in the proof of publication, Michael and
Donna Yates.
Denny Gibbs, Development Review, addressed
the Board to state this item was continued from the May 27, 2003 meeting. She stated Sixth Street runs west from CR
419 and dead ends into Horseshoe Lake.
It is currently used as ingress and egress for the existing home on Lot
4 and is not currently being used for public lake access. The applicant is proposing to vacate an
approximate 70’ wide by 330’ long portion of the right-of-way. This
right-of-way is not currently being used as public access to the lake; but it
is the last platted county road that can provide access. The applicant is proposing an alternative
access to the lake that would utilize 5th Street and replicate the
access conditions that exists at 6th Street. The applicant is proposing to design, permit
and construct a stabilized access way from 5th Street through Lot 8
and the west half of Lot 9 to the lake.
The applicant, at no expense to the County, will complete the stabilized
access and these areas will be donated to the County. She stated staff recommends approval of the request subject to
the following: (1) Exclude the
westernmost 50’ of the vacated area in order to complete the access to the lake
via Lot 9; (2) A 20 ft. drainage easement must be placed on the north side of
the Sixth Street right-of-way. A stabilized
access must be constructed at the end of 6th Street; (3) The
applicant shall dedicate a conservation easement to Seminole County over the
wetland areas on Lots 10, 11, and 12 and the east half of Lot 9; (4) The
applicant must provide sketch and descriptions of any easements that are
required; and (5) The applicant shall provide the sketch and legal descriptions
for any easements required. Two
exhibits of the request were received and filed.
Michael Yates, applicant, addressed the
Board to advise he has no additional comments.
Deborah Schafer, 1740 Brumley Road,
addressed the Board to state she is the President of the Southeast Seminole
County Voters Association and they support staff’s recommendations. She stated she would like the Board to know
that the Chuluota residents would like to offer their services to help build a
boardwalk and a pavilion. The residents
feel that this is a positive project and they appreciate Commissioner Maloy’s
hard work on this.
Commissioner Morris entered the meeting at
this time.
Ms. Schafer stated she would like to thank
the Board for their hard work regarding Snow Hill Road on CR 419 and for
protecting the Chuluota rural community.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Maloy, Mr.
Grace advised he would recommend that a representative from his office and Suzy
Goldman, Library Services, meet with Ms. Schafer to see if they can work
together with the community on the community park.
No one else spoke in support or in
opposition.
Speaker Request Form was received and filed.
District Commissioner Maloy stated he
appreciates the Board allowing this item being continued several times as it
looked like a good plan. He stated some
technical issues came up in which they have been resolved, but all of the
permitting and technical things would have to be executed before the vacate is
recorded. If it doesn’t work out, the
vacate will not occur.
Motion by Commissioner
Maloy, seconded by Commissioner Morris to adopt appropriate Resolution
#2003-R-108, as shown on page ________, vacating and abandoning a 330’ +/-
portion of Sixth Street, a 70’ wide unimproved right-of-way that abuts Lots
9-12, Block 40 and Lot 4, Block 53 in Chuluota, as described in the proof of
publication, Michael and Donna Yates, subject to the applicant conveying Lot 8
and the western half of Lot 9 and providing public access to Horseshoe Lake via
the stabilization of access way to the lake, and with staff’s stated
conditions.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
VOLUNTARY
BILLBOARD AGREEMENT (Continued)
Continuation of a public hearing to
consider Voluntary Billboard Agreement in accordance with Ordinance 2003-20.
Matt West, Planning Manager, addressed the
Board to state this is the first request from a billboard company since
Ordinance 2003-20 was adopted in April 2003.
He stated Clear Channel is proposing to take down three existing
billboards in exchange for the construction of one new billboard in the I-4
Industrial Park located in the northwest part of Seminole County. Two existing billboards being proposed for
removal are located in the Fern Park area and the third is located on the west
side of 17-92 close to the Orange County line.
One of the billboards is scheduled for removal before October 2012. He stated the new billboard that Mr. Musica
is planning to erect is about 1,000 ft. from an existing billboard located in
the vicinity of the I-4 Industrial Park on the east side of I-4. Each affected property owner must sign and
waive their rights and release the County from any liability. Mr. Musica had concerns to where he didn’t
have to approach each individual property owner where a billboard exists. He said staff is recommending denial of the
request based on the fact that this will be cutting into new territory for
Seminole County. Staff is basically
working off the benchmark of 4:1 ratio.
If the Board recommends approval of the request, he has set up the
agreement as requested by Mr. Musica.
Lou Musica, Clear Channel, addressed the
Board to state he would like to thank staff and the County Attorney for their
efforts of coming up with the voluntary billboard agreement. He stated he is satisfied with the agreement
as it stands. He said he has expressed
concerns relative to the sign ordinance and he would like for he and staff to
work together and correct the ordinance as it was passed. The current ordinance supersedes the
previous ordinance regarding regulations of billboards. He pointed out that this is not a variance
hearing. The current ordinance gives
the Board the right to consider all nonresidential zoning districts for new
billboard signs and to vary from code separation requirements if such location
is found to be in the public interest.
It also gives the Board the right to vary from the 4:1 ratio sign
benchmark. He stated he is hoping the
Board will consider this application internal, and if it is of the public
benefit. He says he feels it is a
substantial public benefit for the following reasons: (1) It reduces the number of signs in the 17-92 CRA; (2) It is a
voluntary action by Clear Channel in trying to reduce the number of signs and
nonconformities within Seminole County; (3) The relocation site is in a heavy
commercial area; and (4) The proposal is at no cost to the County. Staff has indicated that the Jai Alai sign
will be removed during the year 2012.
Staff also has indicated that the new sign will create one new
nonconforming sign and he believes this is incorrect and he would like the
County Attorney to give his opinion on this.
This is a voluntary redevelopment proposal and it does comply with the
code contrary to staff’s report. He
feels that the Board determined the sign ratio and that was the only way to
require companies to enter into voluntary development agreements.
Mr. Musica informed Chairman McLain that he
believes it is the intent that if the agreement was approved, it would not be a
precedent and that each individual agreement would stand on its own merit.
Chairman McLain clarified with Mr. Musica
that if this is approved, it would be individually considered based on each
application for relocation.
Robert McMillan, County Attorney, stated
this is the first he has heard questions raised relative to nonconforming signs
once an agreement is reached. He stated
he doesn’t believe it matters relative to the issuance of approving or not
approving the agreement. He stated he
has an idea but he does not want to lock into an interpretation at this point.
Commissioner Maloy stated he feels this is
exactly what the Board has been discussing over the years.
Chairman McLain stated he would have no
objections to replacing the one sign, assuming the Board feels that the removal
of two signs in the CRA area justifies that.
Commissioner Morris stated Mr. Musica is
correct that the County deliberately designed this ordinance that each issue
that came before the Board for substitution will be looked at. The ordinance contemplates guidelines and it
also contemplates a potential new billboard location site for taking down
additional signs. This is not a new
billboard site but a changed site of an existing billboard. He stated he is concerned about the one
comment raised relative to other parties having to sign a release.
Commissioner Henley stated he supports the
long-term agreement but he doesn’t share the enthusiasm that his colleague
shares. What he sees is the County is
permitting a billboard in a district that is not normally permitted. The distance violates the 1,000 ft.
requirement, but he cannot see that this has a significant gain.
Chairman McLain stated one sign will be
coming down on I-4 and relocated 1,000 ft. from the current location with a
more substantial facility. He stated he
feels that taking one billboard down nine years early has merit.
Commissioner Morris stated he agrees with
the concerns that Commissioner Henley raised, but he doesn’t agree with the
conclusion. The number of phases going
down is important. In this particular
case, he can see nine years from now that a future Board will be very flexible
with an applicant coming forward with an application.
Mr. McMillan stated this issue was brought
up at the adoption hearing and the ordinance requires that the County has to
have approval of the underlining property owner. There were no objections raised at that time. The issue was that there was potential for
claims against the County. The
underlining property owner, currently, would have a billboard authorized on his
property in which it would generate revenue.
The prior billboard ordinance requires the billboard company to
terminate that, therefore that landowner cannot replace the billboard. In order to assure that no claims will be
brought before the County, the billboard company would have to close out the
deal with the underlining property owner and he would have to be a party to the
application.
Commissioner Morris stated he has had
discussions with Mr. Musica. The
indemnification is fine relative to a lawsuit for financial damages, but under
the current operations of State law, it can come forward in an action to grant
a billboard right.
Mr. McMillan stated he would not rely on
indemnification to solely protect the Board because it doesn’t remove the
liability; it only allows somebody to go against the Board if they are
determined to be liable.
Commissioner Morris stated he would
recommend approval to the Board if Mr. Musica is successful in getting a waiver
from the underlining property owner.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he will
be supporting the motion, but he would like to congratulate the private sector
and community of their advertising agency.
No matter what kind of roadblock is placed in front of those advertising
efforts, they seem to think of an ingenious way to get around the County’s
efforts.
No one else spoke in support or in
opposition.
Motion by Commissioner
Morris, seconded by Commissioner Maloy to approve the Voluntary Billboard
Agreement, as shown on page ________, with Clear Channel including written
waivers and releases by the sign owner(s), the property owner(s) and any sign
lessees, to any claim against the County to further compensation or
reimbursement regarding removal of the specified outdoor advertising signs
being provided.
Under discussion, Commissioner Morris
stated he would be happy to talk to the Fern Blvd. owners to see if they can help
them.
Commissioner Henley stated he will be
voting against the motion as these companies are creative. He stated he strongly supports the right for
the sign companies to come before the Board, but he believes the County should
be getting more than what they are getting.
Districts 1, 2, 3 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner Henley voted NAY.
Proof of publication, as shown on page
_______, calling for a public hearing to consider request to Vacate and Abandon
a 30’ portion of the Arletta Street right-of-way located at the south easterly
corner of Arletta Street and Forest Cove Road, J&D Real Estate Holdings,
Inc. – Michelle Wolff, received and filed.
Cynthia Sweet, Development Review,
addressed the Board to state the purpose of the vacate is to obtain ownership
of the property, which is currently fenced and has been maintained by the
owners for years. Staff found no
benefit to retain that portion of the public right-of-way since Arletta Street
has been realigned. Florida Department
of Transportation (FDOT) owns the remaining remnant portion of the public
right-of-way located immediately north of the subject area and south of the
realigned Arletta Street, and also has confirmed their intent to release that
portion to the petitioner. The
applicant has provided letters (not received and filed) from the appropriate
utility companies and they have no objections to the request. Staff recommends approval of the request
subject to retaining the utility and drainage easement over the vacated
portion.
No one spoke in support or in opposition.
Motion by Commissioner
Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Morris to adopt appropriate Resolution
#2003-R-109, as shown on page ________, vacating and abandoning a 30’ portion
of the Arletta Street right-of-way located at the south easterly corner of
Arletta Street and Forest Cove Road, as described in the proof of publication,
J&D Real Estate Holdings, Inc. – Michelle Wolff, subject to retaining the
utility and drainage easement over the vacated portion.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Chairman McLain announced that the Little
Big Econ State Forest Management Plan Advisory Group and the Florida Department
of Agriculture & Consumer Services-Division of Forestry has scheduled a
public hearing on June 25, 2003 at 6:00 p.m., at the Geneva Community Center
