COUNTY MANAGER’S REPORT

The Board was advised that Item #21, Budget Amendment Request in the amount of $250,000, Crane Strand System Retrofit, and Item #36, Second Amendment to Agreement with SJRWMD, have been pulled from the agenda.

Mr. Grace advised that with regard to Item #31, M-317-02/BJC, System Enhancement Project Agreement/800 mhz, the purchase will be over two years. He said at the last meeting, there was some discussion about borrowing money, but that will not be necessary if it is funded over a two-year period.

Commissioner Henley expressed his concern with Item #32, Amendment #1 to M-247-01/BJC, Air Quality Consultant Services for the Public Safety Building Remediation. He stated he believes the Board should look into the allegations listed in the letter from the contractor regarding the subcontractor.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Director of Administrative Services, Jamie Croteau, addressed the Board to advise the Board needs to act on this some time today.

Commissioner Morris said that what the contractor’s letter is saying is the subcontractor is not qualified and they are spending extra time educating.

Commissioner Henley stated that if this has been going on, why wasn’t the Board made aware of it.

Chairman McLain stated Item #32 will be continued until this afternoon; and he directed staff to meet with the Commissioners prior to this afternoon’s meeting.

REGULAR AGENDA

Planner, Cindy Matheny, addressed the Board to present request for a minor revision to the Final PUD Master Plan and Developer’s Commitment Agreement for ETOR properties PUD, Design Service Group. She advised the proposed change would amend the permitted uses on Track B, which is west of Sun Drive and south of the Chevron gas station. She stated the Board previously approved amending the uses on the tract to accommodate a 3-story building with office and retail uses on the ground floor, and condominiums on the second and third floors. The applicant is now requesting that the tract be approved for construction of a retail strip center with two outparcels. Staff does not object to the proposed uses on the site, but does have concerns related to the site layout. The proposed strip center runs north-south along the west side of the property. Staff recommends that the center be placed along the south property line so that impacts such as noise and lighting will be directed northward, away from the apartments to the south. They also recommend that the rear of the building be architecturally enhanced to further minimize impacts.

Ron Hinson, representing the developer, addressed the Board to express concern with staff’s recommendation to have the commercial building be orientated northward. He stated they feel the better configuration would be to have their commercial building backing up to the rear of Albertson’s. He said this will provide a better buffer for the apartments to the south.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. Hinson advised the refuge dumpsters will be located approximately 200 feet from the edge of the property.

Commissioner Morris stated he believes the back-to-back commercial is a better design. However, he said the key will be the landscaping.

Mr. Hinson stated they will put canopy trees in the 12-foot green strip.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. Hinson stated he would also be agreeable to installing a wall and will not allow a walk-thru from the apartments.

Motion by Commissioner Henley, seconded by Commissioner Maloy to approve the minor revision to the Final PUD Master Plan and Developer’s Commitment Agreement, as shown on page _______, for ETOR Properties PUD located south of Lake Mary Boulevard and west of Greenwood Boulevard, Design Service Group, with the orientation of the building to remain as is (back-to-back commercial) with the stipulation that there will be a six-foot split-faced block wall along with the canopy trees as proposed.

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

-------

Planner, Jeff Hopper, addressed the Board to present request for the Final Master Plan & Developer’s Commitment Agreement for Monroe Commerce Center South PCD, Small Bay Partner LLC. He advised the developer has agreed to dedicate additional right-of-way and improve Church Street to County standards up to the western boundary of the subject property. To maintain compatibility with nearby residential property to the east, the developer will limit outdoor lighting in height and intensity and provide buffers and amenitized retention areas along the east property line. He stated staff recommends approval.

District Commissioner McLain recommended approval.

Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to approve the Final Master Plan & Developer’s Commitment Agreement, as shown on page _______, for Monroe Commerce Center South PCD, located at the southwest corner of Church Street and Monroe Road, Small Bay Partner LLC.

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

David Medley, Community Services, addressed the Board to present request for approval of the funding agreement with United Arts of Central Florida, Inc. He introduced Margot Knight, President of United Arts of Central Florida, and Ron Rose, President of the Seminole Arts Council. He briefly reviewed Exhibit A of the agreement.

Commissioner Henley questioned what type of procedure is used when determining what projects are going to be funded.

Margot Knight addressed the Board to explain there is a grant pool just for Seminole County that has its own panel.

Commissioner Henley questioned what type of due diligence is done to see if the organization is worthy of public funds. Whereupon, Ms. Knight stated grant guidelines are followed, which are consistent with the State guidelines. Discussion ensued.

Commissioner Henley stated he would like to see a more formalized evaluation process.

Commissioner Morris stated he notices that the majority of the money is going to the performing arts and very little going to visual art.

Chairman McLain stated it would be nice to have visual arts displayed in public buildings.

Ms. Knight stated it generally depends on the requests coming in; and they have not had a lot of requests from the visual arts.

Chairman McLain suggested United Arts have a more aggressive outreach for arts other than performing arts.

Commissioner Henley agreed, stating he believes Mr. Rose should come back to the Board at a later date on how to have a better strategy for dealing with visual arts.

Commissioner Maloy stated he believes the arts should be privately funded, therefore, he will not be supporting the motion.

Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Morris to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute Agreement, as shown on page _______, between Seminole County and United Arts of Central Florida, Inc.

Under discussion, Commissioner Henley stated he is reluctant to approve this until he sees something concrete that will meet some of the objectives that the Board has discussed today.

Chairman McLain stated this is an ongoing process and the County’s involvement with United Arts will be one that develops over time.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he would concur that Exhibit A is a suggested model for the Board in receiving more information back.

Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

Commissioner Maloy voted NAY.

DCM, Sally Sherman, addressed the Board to present request for recognition of the Smart Biometrics as a “Qualified Targeted Industry” (QTI), advising this is a home-grown company that has developed a gun safe that unlocks by thumb recognition.

COUNTY MANAGER’S BRIEFING

FIRE HYDRANT COVERAGE IN SEMINOLE COUNTY

Bob Adolphe, Environmental Services Director, addressed the Board to introduce members of the Environmental Services Department in attendance. He stated staff has been studying and analyzing this for the past two months. He displayed and reviewed PowerPoint presentation relating to the Objectives of the Fire Hydrant Locations and the Overview relating to Many Utilities within Seminole County. He stated there are 7 municipalities in Seminole County and 54% of the population is within those municipal areas.

Upon inquiry by Chairman McLain, Mr. Adolphe advised the fire department is contemplating a potential merger of the Altamonte Springs Fire Department and they are working to properly assess those needs.

Mr. Adolphe continued by displaying a map showing the municipal areas in Seminole County. He displayed a table showing the number of private utilities in the area. He also displayed a map showing the water service areas in Seminole County and he stated the brown area covers Seminole County utilities. He reviewed the percentage of the Seminole County Environmental Services Geographical Areas Covered and the Percentage of Population Served; and the Utility Statistics.

Commissioner Morris entered the meeting at this time.

Mr. Adolphe displayed and reviewed a map showing Seminole County Water Service Area. He reviewed the Miles of Water Main; the Number of Hydrants; The Distance Between Fire Hydrants; the Proposed Upgrades and Identified Areas needing New Hydrants, and the areas needing new hydrants. He stated staff is working on some collaborative projects for West Lake Brantley Drive and the Knollwood Community Association & Utilities, Inc. He displayed a map and reviewed the proposed two projects.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he would like to know if the County has the ability to analyze the savings to the homeowner’s associations relative to their insurance rates if they did have hydrants that would meet the Public Safety requirements.

Chief Terry Schenk, Public Safety, addressed the Board to state the County has an ISO rating of 4 in those urbanized areas. The City of Altamonte Springs area has a 2 and part of the reason they have that is because of the water distribution system in the city. He stated staff is always supportive of adding more fire hydrants in the County and they have taken steps over the years to put in place mobile water supplies and have beefed up their equipment.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Chief Schenk advised the fire tank capability for the residential area off of West Lake Brantley Road is 750 to 1,000 gallons. The County has portable pumps to get water out of lakes and ponds, and hard suction hoses are available and can be connected to the trucks to draft water out.

Commissioner Henley stated the concern he has is the West Lake Brantley area is heavily populated but does not have the protection of having fire hydrants close by. He stated he would like to know if steps have been taken for those areas that are heavily populated, but do not have services, that the fire department can drop hoses in the residents’ swimming pools. He said an agreement might be worked out with the residents to draw water from their swimming pools.

Chief Schenk stated the fire department could get into the neighbors’ pools and pump water.

Commissioner Van Der Weide asked if staff looked into what it would cost if the County got involved in funding these additional hydrants.

Commissioner Morris left the meeting at this time.

Mr. Adolphe stated it is the same cost as extending water service and putting fireplugs on the water lines.

Mr. Grace stated the problem the County runs into is the residents do not want to pay for it and private utilities do not want to pay for it as well. Whenever an area wanted water lines, an MSTU would be established and the residents would pay through that program.

Chairman McLain surrendered the gavel to Vice Chairman Maloy and left the meeting.

Commissioner Henley stated there should be some way to work this out. The County is paying one way or the other for the fire trucks to carry extra water because there is no coverage.

Commissioner McLain reentered the meeting at this time and assumed the position of Chairman.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated the money that Commissioner Henley is talking about is used to comply with the Code to give them better service.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Mr. Adolphe advised he doesn’t know the exact area where Sanlando Utility is pumping reclaimed water into Altamonte Springs. The bottom line is it is water line extension and then the fireplugs. The fire hydrants are cheap compared to extending fire service.

Chairman McLain stated he doesn’t understand why the County can’t heighten public awareness of the lack of the hydrants in some of these areas and encourage the public utilities to come up with a better solution to provide better fire suppression.

Mr. Adolphe stated if the water quality does not meet stringent guidelines, then that water would be diverted to a rapid infiltration basin rather than being in a charged system. That is an automatic switch over as required by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

Mr. Grace suggested moving ahead with the hydrants within the County’s service area. He stated that what he is planning on doing is to try to come up with some ideas, such as sending letters out to the utilities to identify municipal service areas and to come back to the Board with some suggestions on finding a way to pay for it.

-------

Chairman McLain informed the Board that there is a groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for June 18 for the trail bridge over the interstate. He stated he believes the homeowner groups in that area would like to participate in that ceremony, and he would like for staff to contact them to inform them of the date and time.

SPECIAL PROJECTS/TRAILS UPDATE

Frank Van Pelt, Engineering, addressed the Board to state he is here to bring the Board up to date on their progress of the Special Projects/Trails. He displayed and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (copy received & filed) of the following: Current Mission; the Main Priority; and the Current Trail Program that includes 7 Projects of the Design Phase, 3 Projects of the Construction Phase and 14 Projects of the Planning Phase.

County Manager, Kevin Grace, left the meeting at this time.

Mr. Van Pelt continued by reviewing the Projects that are Under Construction.

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

Mr. Van Pelt stated the projects under construction include the Seminole Wekiva Trail, I-4 Overpass, SR 434 Overpass and Trails Around the World. He stated the projects under design are the Cross Seminole Trail, the Kewannee Trail and Flagler Trail. He reviewed slides of the Seminole Wekiva Trail construction, design process and various innovations.

Commissioner Morris reentered the meeting at this time.

Mr. Van Pelt displayed and reviewed a slide of the Overlook Structure. He stated by the end of the year, the County will be working with the cities to complete 20 miles of paved trail. He reviewed Other Projects relating to landscaping and managing special projects.

Commissioner McLain reentered the meeting at this time and assumed the position of Chairman.

Mr. Grace reentered the meeting at this time.

Mr. Van Pelt reviewed slides of the I-4 & Lake Mary Blvd. landscaping and he stated the total County cost will be $240,000 with reimbursement by FDOT.

Commissioner Maloy stated he believes a meeting is scheduled regarding Citrus Road.

Mr. Van Pelt stated that is in the planning stage at this time.

Commissioner Maloy stated Black Hammock has a lot of boardwalks and he would like to know if those will be water sealed so that they will last as long as possible.

Mr. Van Pelt stated the one thing he is looking forward to is how they are going to maintain these. To help alleviate some of the costs, staff utilizes the decking and recycled material to see if that would take care of some of the sealing problems.

Commissioner Maloy stated he would like to know if there is going to be a schedule in place to retreat them after so many years.

Mr. Grace stated he believes there is a maintenance schedule for the parks in place now.

Commissioner Morris stated he feels things are going very well with the special projects team. He stated there has been an enlightened change in terms of cooperation in the outlook and philosophy of how the different departments are working together in this area.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he feels this is a wonderful project and he has been hearing good comments about the trails from the citizens.

CONSENT AGENDA (Continued)

32. Mr. Grace briefly reviewed the letter sent relating to Amendment #1 to M-274-01. He advised staff has met with the Commissioners regarding this item during the break.

Commissioner Henley stated he raised the question of concern this morning relating to the time this has been going on and he was concerned with some of the allegations that were not substantiated. He stated he doesn’t have a problem with the amount of money requested.

Motion by Commissioner Henley, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to approve Amendment #1, as shown on page ________, to M-247-01/BJC, Air Quality Consultant Services for the Sheriff’s Office and Public Safety Building Remediation project, to Bailey Engineering Corp., Palm Beach Garden, (not-to-exceed $200,000)(Time Extension).

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

REGULAR AGENDA (Continued)

Jim Duby, Community Resources Division, addressed the Board to request authorization to proceed with the proposed master plan of the Black Hammock Wilderness area. He stated two community meetings were held and the physical features of the site are that there are a lot of wetlands and there is very limited public right-of-way. He said staff will be working with the community if any problems arise after the property is opened.

Commissioner Morris stated issues were raised relative to the location of the parking area and the road not being paved. Another point that the citizens raised is whether the County is going to install a gate with a lock on it.

Mr. Duby stated that could be done. A neighbor has volunteered to open and close that gate.

Commissioner Morris stated he would recommend doing some kind of a review within a year after this park is opened regarding the preconditions and post-conditions on Howard Avenue This way the residents will know that the County is checking the conditions of that.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Duby advised the drainage pipe in Salt Creek was addressed and he will get with the Public Works staff on that issue. He stated this will be a natural parking area with shell rock and a speed limit sign will also be posted.

Commissioner Morris stated the culvert east of Van Arsdale needs to be reviewed as well to make sure that will not have an impact.

Chairman McLain stated it sounds like the Board needs to continue this item, as he does not feel comfortable voting on this at this time.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. Duby indicated on the map where the Van Arsdale culvert is located.

Commissioner Henley stated this has been an ongoing problem and is not related to this.

Chairman McLain stated if the Board is going to move forward with this, then they should move with the staff recommendations.

Upon inquiry by Chairman McLain, Mr. Duby stated staff has had similar situations on Curry Road.

Chairman McLain stated he has concerns locking up natural lands areas when they do not do that to the others, and with the citizens having the responsibility for opening and locking the gate. He stated he feels staff should be responsible for opening and closing the public facilities and not the citizens.

Mr. Duby stated this represents their best effort.

Chairman McLain stated when the natural lands referendum was passed, it was the intention to open these properties for the citizens to enjoy. He stated if this is one that doesn’t need to be opened because of too many problems, then he doesn’t think the County should open it.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Maloy, Bill Kirchhoff addressed the Board to state the other culvert that was discussed is located on Wichita Avenue and it is east of Van Arsdale. He stated the other road that needs looking at is Barr Street.

Commissioner Van Der Weide left the meeting at this time.

Mr. Kirchhoff stated the County has a 60 ft. right-of-way along Barr Street and then it turns into the Cochran Trail and it hasn’t been improved. If anyone is using this property, there will be traffic going down Barr Street or down Howard from Stone Street. The drainage district on Barr Street was formed in 1917 and that has not been cleaned out in probably 50 years. He indicated where the other access to the property is located and where Howard Street hits the corner of the property and he stated it is very sandy. People will get stuck out there if they do not have 4-wheel drive vehicles. The road is not up to County standards and if the County is going to use this for parking purposes, then they need to look at what kind of maintenance is going to be put on that road.

Mr. Grace stated the County may need to look at some options to see if they can do some improvements to go in conjunction with this plan.

Mr. Kirchhoff stated there is no County right-of-way on that ditch at all and he knows the landowners would like to give the County the right to maintain it. Discussion ensued.

Chairman McLain stated he has concerns spending thousands of dollars on the boardwalks in advance and the public not being able to use property. He stated he feels the County needs to work out the access issue first.

Commissioner Morris recommended bringing the drainage issues back in the fall.

Chairman McLain stated he feels the Board can approve the master plan based on not proceeding with any of the improvements until the access issue has been addressed.

Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Henley to authorize staff to approve the Master Plan of the Black Hammock Wilderness area and withhold implementation of the plan until the County Manager can bring back solutions to the access and drainage issues at a later date, and authorize staff to hold another neighborhood meeting.

Districts 1, 2, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS’ REPORTS

Commissioner Henley stated staff has been dealing with the sod on Citrus Street and he received a phone call from a lady not being satisfied with this. He stated staff is still planning to monitor this and there has to be an understanding that the homeowners are not required to water County right-of-way. Staff has made a significant effort in trying to resolve any issues that the County has caused.

COMMITTEE REPORTS

Commissioner Henley stated the Seminole County School Readiness Coalition and the Seminole County School Board are working on points to be considered relating to the Pre-K program and they will be sharing same with this Board at an appropriate time.

DISTRICT COMMISSIONER’S REPORTS (Continued)

Chairman McLain recommended appointing Debra McMenemy to the Animal Control Board for a term ending 12/31/2006, and to send a letter to Karen Hart thanking her for her services on same.

Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Maloy to appoint Debra McMenemy to the Animal Control Board for a term ending 12/31/2006; and adopt appropriate Resolution #2002-R-99, as shown on page _______, to Karen Hart commending her for her services to said Board.

Districts 1, 2, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

-------

Chairman McLain stated another meeting was held with the City of Sanford relating to the Celery Avenue issue. He stated he indicated to the City of Sanford that they should consider capping their density to 3 units per gross acre rather than 6 units per acre. The City has conceptually agreed to that. He said if the County moves forward with any land use changes, they would have to enter into an Interlocal Agreement before the County would agree to forward anything to the DCA. He added the City of Sanford has also agreed to do a scenic overlay on Celery Avenue. Staff is prepared to move this forward in the 2002 fall cycle public hearings.

Motion by Commissioner Henley, seconded by Commissioner Morris to authorize scheduling public hearings for the Fall 2002 Cycle relating to property along Celery Avenue.

-------

Commissioner Maloy submitted copies of maps (received and filed) of Citrus Road. He stated he has met with property owners along Citrus Road and there are three pieces of property that access this road. The County owns one and Terry Singleton owns the others. This is on the road-paving program and the Road Department indicated that it would cost between $55,000 to $65,000 to pave Citrus Road. He stated there are several reasons why the County might want to purchase the remaining private parcels and then close Citrus Road and not put a road there. In looking at the tax dollars, the County would save money by not building a road if they can get the property for less than what it would cost to build a road.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Commissioner Maloy stated it used to be a dirt road and it wasn’t maintained very well. When the road was closed, the contractor sodded it. He advised the Property Appraiser has the lots valued at $28,000 each.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Commissioner Maloy advised Mr. Singleton is interested in selling the property for the value indicated by the Property Appraiser.

Commissioner Morris stated he feels the Board should look into the evaluation if the property owners are willing to sell.

Mr. Grace stated staff can look at the idea of purchasing those properties.

Jerry McCollum, County Engineer, advised staff would like to do a cost analysis and the key is if the property owners are willing to do this. He stated he feels it would be beneficial to do so. He said staff will evaluate this and get back to the Board in two weeks.

COMMITTEE REPORTS (Continued)

Commissioner Morris stated the next large public involvement meeting with the Seminole County Regional Study meeting will be held at the Orlando Science Center during the second week of July. This will be on the regional study on the 13 different sectors of what is all of Central Florida, how they can improve it and what are the challenges. He stated the parking fees to the Science Center will be waived during that time.

-------

Commissioner Morris stated Lake Mary High School is going to be under construction and they are going to lose their tennis courts up to a year or more during this construction process. He stated the High School would like to use the facilities at Greenwood Lakes Park and they are asking the Board to waive the fees.

Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Henley to waive the fees for a period of one year for the Lake Mary High School to use the Greenwood Lakes Park tennis court facilities, while the school is under construction.

Districts 1, 2, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

-------

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Chairman McLain advised he will be unable to attend the Expressway Authority scheduled for 4:00 p.m. today.

------

Chairman McLain stated the County has been working with Volusia County and Congressman Mica relating to the connector from I-95 to the GreeneWay to help alleviate traffic. He stated an organization called Florida for Environmental Accountability and Reform and the Friends of Lake Jesup sent letters to the Corp. of Engineers objecting that this roadway would put more cars on Hwy. 415 and would impact the river. These organizations also felt that additional aircraft at the airport will have negative impacts on the lake. He stated the County has worked diligently to get improvements done to Lake Jesup. He said it is interesting that the Friends of Lake Jesup are now attacking this roadway and trying to slow down this process.

Mr. McCollum stated staff is trying to obtain a permit from the St. Johns River Water Management District at this time. He stated he received a letter from the Corp of Engineers yesterday and they indicated that they are holding up the permit for 30 days until staff responds to these questions. He stated he doesn’t believe that this is anything that will make them realign any part of the road. He added this is an issue that they have to deal with and they have also contacted Mr. Larry Dale at the Orlando Sanford Airport regarding this, as this will impact the land in that area.

Chairman McLain stated he made it clear to the Expressway Authority that he thought the best mitigation plans for this roadway was to solve the berm problem that SR 46 has placed on water circulating through that lake. This is an opportunity, if this roadway is constructed, of having millions of dollars added to enhancing the mitigation of Lake Jesup. He said he has concerns that some of the citizens are trying to place a roadblocks on this and not communicating with the Board.

COUNTY MANAGER’S REPORT

Mr. Grace stated staff will need to secure services of an owner’s rep for the proposed convention center. He stated he needs to know if the Board would like to utilize the owner’s rep that they have under the current master contract or would they rather go out with another RFP to select another vendor.

Commissioner Morris stated when they did the owner’s rep, he thought they did that just for one project. He stated he feels a convention center has all kinds of different issues and an RFP would be appropriate.

Chairman McLain directed staff to prepare an RFP.

-------

Mr. Grace reminded the Board that there will not be a regular meeting in two weeks (June 25) and the next regular meeting is scheduled for July 9, 2002. He stated the Budget Work Session is scheduled for June 20, 2002.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Maloy, Mr. Grace advised he is not sure staff will be targeting the funding of the convention center during the budget work session, but that issue can be discussed.

ITEMS FOR FUTURE AGENDA

Bill Kirchhoff submitted a copy of his billboard permit timeline (received and filed) and he stated he is here to request the Board to direct staff to approve a permit for his billboard. He stated he has gone through the process and he has done everything he was supposed to. He added he feels he has been within the time limit and the moratorium does not apply to him.

Don Fisher, Planning & Development Director, addressed the Board to state he could not find where staff would have intentionally delayed an application. He also could not find anything in the Code where staff would have been required to make some determination that would have caused the delay of the application.

Chairman McLain stated he doesn’t know if this is the appropriate time to deal with this.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. Fisher advised he believes the December 2000 date refers to a letter that was sent to the FDOT indicating that an application would be processed up to a certain level. It did not mean that staff approved the building permit nor did they approve the site plan. He said the site plan was not approved until January 26, 2001.

Chairman McLain stated the Board needs to decide whether or not they want to discuss this as an agenda item at the next Board meeting.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Stephen Lee, Deputy County Attorney, addressed the Board to advise that Mr. Kirchhoff and his representative were informed that if there is recourse it is not provided in the Code and it would have to go through the judicial system.

Commissioner Maloy stated he has no problem hearing this at a future Board meeting. He stated it was clear that Mr. Kirchhoff was in the process prior to the July 2000 deadline.

Commissioner Morris stated Mr. Kirchhoff had ample opportunity to appeal this and he chose not to. The issue here is this is going to affect other applications. He stated he would object to bringing this issue back at the next meeting.

Commissioner Henley stated he remembers discussions they have had relative to the soils out there and staff taking one position and the applicant taking another position. Apparently that was resolved in the applicant’s favor. He stated he has no problem hearing this again.

Chairman McLain requested staff to prepare a briefing on the outstanding billboard permits involving the moratorium to be discussed during the second meeting in July.

-------

There being no further business to come before the Board, the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned at 3:20 p.m., this same date.
