COUNTY MANAGER’S CONSENT
AGENDA, Continued
Ms.
Coto introduced Steve L. Howard as the new Administrative Services Director,
with a start-to-work date of July 3, 2006, at the salary of $86,239.
Mr.
Howard addressed the Board to state he is looking forward to the opportunity of
serving the Commissioners, citizens and employees of this county and he’s
looking forward to joining the team.
Chairman
Henley welcomed Mr. Howard aboard and said good luck to him.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded
by Commissioner Carey, to confirm the appointment of Steve L. Howard as
Administrative Services Director, effective July 3, 2006, at a salary of
$86,239.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Ms.
Coto stated she would like to bring forward three items now and she will bring
up the Willa Grove wall this afternoon.
She said she would like to separate these because there will be some
members from the community attending the meeting and she is looking to give
them the opportunity to hear the dialogue.
Ms.
Coto stated regarding the Casselberry CRA, the Board had a discussion at the
last Board meeting regarding the 2005 annual report received from the City and
some irregularities that the County noted in the annual report. The Commission directed the Manager to send a
letter to the City and ask them to look into the issue and bring forth to the
Board what the problem was and what their resolution is. She said she has not had the opportunity to
talk to their interim City Manager. He
has requested to step down within the next 30 days so they will be going
through another transition. There was a
meeting before the Community Redevelopment Authority Board last Friday and she
has been able to obtain some of that information. According to the background, since the
inception of the CRA, it seems there have been some irregularities related to
contributions from the City’s portion into the CRA. In 2004, there also was a land transfer from
the CRA to the city of
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he thinks they all know enough about this now to realize
that something took place that is not exactly “according to oil.” He asked when would they have the professional’s
audit of those events that took place with that CRA. Secondly, he asked what authority would the
Clerk have in this with the crossing of funds between the County and the
City. He asked, is the Clerk involved or
can she be involved? He thinks it is
important that the BCC have some reports back from the professionals so they
understand exactly what happened to the taxpayers’ money and what’s going to
happen in the future.
Chairman
Henley said it is his opinion they should request the Clerk to do a thorough
audit from the very outset of this agreement and report back to this Board
before they take any official action. He
said he has on his desk a request from the City Manager that the BCC consider
extending the CRA for another 10 years.
He has not brought it forward yet, because he became aware there may be
a problem. He said the minutes from the
CRA don’t reflect the portion what Ms. Coto indicated as a solution.
Commissioner
Morris stated it appears as though for a number of years prior to any purchase
of any property and continuing all the way to this past year, abbreviated
payments were being made by the city of Casselberry for their proportional
share to the CRA. The County was making
its full payments, but
Commissioner
Morris said he doesn’t believe the political body was aware of this, but he has
to believe that three successive city managers were aware and the person in
charge of finances had to know. Commissioner Morris stated he doesn’t know how
you can screw up a formula, but he does know what public policy should be and
they all know what they intend by CRA’s.
Trying to play a game with discounted values for land to cover a
shortfall of money that then went into, they think, the City’s general fund
(which was not the purpose that money was to be used for), that’s where they
fall into a major issue. The Clerk needs
to look at where the money went to.
Chairman
Henley stated he had received an annual report and noticed transfers from the
CRA account into the General Fund. That
is what raised his attention; and the contributions from them were so
lopsided. He knew something had to be
wrong.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide said rather than confuse the public any further in this
discussion, he would like to assume that when they get the professionals on the
job, they will get a report back that everybody will be able to understand and
it will pass the test of credibility. He
added that he thinks that’s where they’re headed.
Commissioner
Dallari said he agrees whole-heartedly; they can speculate on a lot of
different things, but they need to get an audit and a track of these funds for
the land transfer. He would also like to
see some type of time line of when they can anticipate a report back to them.
Commissioner
Carey said one question she would like answered is, is this part of the land
they just sold. She said she thinks the
audit is going to look at the financials of it, all of where the money went and
transfers, and those kinds of things, but she thinks they also need to look a
little deeper than just a financial audit.
Chairman
Henley asked if there was a consensus of the Board to request the Clerk to do a
complete audit, and he would also request they have consent that Commissioner
Morris meet with the
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he thinks the Clerk is already working on it. He would like to think any of the
Commissioners that have a question would forward it to the
Chairman
Henley stated he thinks it is appropriate for the City and CRA to understand
that the Commission is requesting this and authorizing the Clerk to proceed
with that to try to get to the bottom of this so they can work out a resolution
to it.
Commissioner
Morris said in their discussions, there have been some good ones with the
elected officials and he had one good discussion with the Acting City
Manager. This is two-part problem--the
administrative problem with audit functions and also a political problem. He doesn’t think the elected officials have
knowledge of what has occurred and they need to understand the BCC is trying to
help them get to the bottom of this.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded
by Commissioner Carey, to suspend any future payments to the Casselberry CRA,
during any course of time before the report comes back to them, and suspend any
consideration of any extension of time for the CRA until the same such report
is back.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-----
Ms.
Coto reported that at the last meeting of the Joint City/County Committee,
there was discussion and consensus related to hiring a consultant to evaluate
the overall effectiveness and efficiency of Fire/Rescue/EMS services on a
county-wide basis. Staff is presently
putting together some concepts that will be presented to that committee on June
21. One of the issues that has come up
is the potential funding sources. She
said there is an EMS trust fund at this time that is to be used primarily for
increasing the overall effectiveness and efficiency in the delivery of
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he would like to hear Commissioners Henley and Morris’s
recommendations.
Chairman
Henley stated the initiative each City Commissioner and the BCC agreed to and
adopted was to identify those areas that might be studied for an increase in
efficiency of service and, perhaps, to do things more economically than
presently being done if they consider merger of services. He said fire is one service that has not been
studied. They have had committees
working extensively on some others.
Originally, the Fire Chiefs came forward and said everything was great
like it was, but since then one city has indicated no interest. There have been two cities with Winter Springs
being the most recent. He said he asked
for a copy of the study because they had made a decision that they did not want
to continue, based upon the study. He
said the study was done in 2003 and it was very incomplete. There was discussion that they really needed
to do a full study before any recommendations.
He stated there have not been any recommendations made by anyone on any
of these. There was discussion as to
something that, perhaps, should be looked at and then whatever the numbers
showed would dictate what type recommendation would be presented. He said, unfortunately, in some of the
discussions with the city, it has been presented that the County is doing this
and that. He said the County isn’t doing
it, but the decisions are coming from the Joint City/County Committee.
Commissioner
Morris added that the committee, as a whole, voted months ago to look at
consolidated services. The subcommittee,
chaired by the Fire Chief in
Commissioner
Dallari said he thinks what they’re looking at is best practice and not
consolidation. He thinks they’re going
to lose focus when they start talking about consolidation. They are looking at best practice across the
board with all the cities, excluding Altamonte Springs, and the County to find
out what is the best practice to find out how to operate the Fire Department
paramedics, transport, how to ensure services from city to city to the County
and vice versa. From this may come
consolidation, but that is a totally different sideboard conversation.
Ms.
Coto advised that the scope that staff has drafted is very much focused on
effectiveness and efficiency of services.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Ms. Coto explained the standards that would be
followed.
Commissioner
Dallari said he wants to make sure there are different scenarios, because it is
not just the safety of the public but the safety of the staff should also be
addressed. He said he also wants all the
cities to understand they are going after best practice and not
consolidation.
Commissioner
Morris explained the goal is not consolidation, but it will clearly come up in
the study in certain cases. He said
there is a lot to be gained and nothing to be lost. This is good government study money to try to
show a benchmark.
Commissioner
Carey said she thinks a lot of good things could come out of the study. She publicly thanked Commissioner Henley and Commissioner Morris for serving on
the joint committee. She said the whole
committee came about to do what was best for the community as a whole. She doesn’t think they should be afraid of
what comes out of it. The fact the committee,
made up of elected leaders, has unanimously supported the efforts that have
gone forward. You would think their
staffs would be a little more supportive of the representation on that
committee. She thinks the fact that the
committee thinks and voted unanimously to move forward with the study, that
they should look towards moving the study forward.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide on whether others are going to
participate in the cost of the study, Chairman Henley said he thinks the thought
was that this might be something the County would undertake.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide said he thinks if the two members of the Board recommend going
forward with a study, he thinks they have the majority vote to do that.
Ms.
Coto stated she wanted to bring this forth so when staff makes the presentation
at the June 21 meeting, they could make the representation as to what the BCC
supported. She thinks she has now enough
guidance that she knows what staff can present to the full body and they will
see where they end up after that meeting.
Chairman
Henley asked if anyone objected to the County offering to fund the study.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he thinks the funds are available and they have the
consensus of the BCC, but if they get in the meeting and, for some reason, they
don’t want to move forward, they should also have that flexibility.
Commissioner
Morris noted that there is only $40,000 to $50,000 in the
-----
Ms.
Coto discussed the Colonial tri-party agreement, stating Mr. McMillan and Mr.
Fisher have sent a draft to the BCC. She
asked Mr. Fisher to review the highlights of that agreement and the timelines
being looked at.
Chairman
Henley recessed the meeting at this time, 10:32 a.m., and reconvened it at
10:41 a.m.
Mr.
Fisher addressed the Board to summarize the annexation issue. He said the agreement presented today is what
staff thinks represents the February meeting as presented to the BCC in the
April meeting. The
Commissioner
Carey questioned if the timeline is one that they could actually work
within. Mr. Fisher explained the 24
months does not start until the resolution for necessity is adopted. At that point, they should know the corridor
the interchange would go across. The
thought is from that point the 24 months begins, so there should be enough time
to get something on the streets and some response to that.
Chairman
Henley said he agrees on the reverter clause, but there are so many elements
that the BCC doesn’t control and that bothers him. He suggested the rewording to say, in the
event it is not selected or used, the property would revert back. He said he doesn’t know that the County
necessarily controls the timeline.
Whereupon,
Commissioner Morris said the BCC has absolutely no control over the timeline
but that is done by the Florida Department of Transportation with the Federal
DOT. He asked for Mr. McCollom,
Mr.
McCollum said the 24-month period is awfully tight. Discussion ensued.
Mr.
McMillan discussed the timeline, stating the design would be complete, the BCC
would adopt the Resolution of necessity, and the applicant would have 30 days
to deed the property to the County and then the County would have 24 months to
complete acquisition and put it on the street.
He said the only question would be if the acquisition would be complete
within the 24 months.
Whereupon,
Mr. McCollum if it was one resolution of necessity, he would be concerned about
the 24-month time frame. Also DOT was
looking at construction around 2010 when the funds would be available. He said he is not sure how that goes with the
time frame. Discussion continued.
Commissioner
Morris said they also need to consider the
Mr.
McMillan said he understood that the County was doing the acquisition. However, Mr. McCollum said DOT is doing the
acquisition. Mr. McMillan stated if the
County is not doing the acquisition, then he would not be comfortable with the
24 months either. He said the BCC could
adopt the resolution of necessity for all the parcels other than the Colonial
parcels and do that after acquiring those parcels. Then they would have the two years to get it
on the street. Discussion continued.
Mr.
McMillan reiterated that the BCC starts the two-year timeline and they could
hold off on that until they are sure everything is in place to go forward on
the construction.
Ms.
Coto asked if the agreement as written is acceptable, because if not, the
subsequent action would be to seek to proceed forward to preserving their
rights because the deadline is June 15.
Commissioner
Morris said he thinks they have to go forward because they don’t know if the
agreement will be signed.
Mr.
McMillan explained the Board would not have an agreement until well after June
15.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Fisher advised he thinks they have as good
an argument they can make regarding economic sustainability.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Mr. McMillan advised staff received a
letter from the Lake Mary City Manager last week and the City had some problems
they could not commit to and the City Manager was willing to say they were not
going to commit to not annexing. Mr.
McMillan explained the County was asking for a good-faith declaration of intent
that they would not annex beyond some point.
He told the City Manager that staff would contact him later this week to
set up a meeting on the agreement to see what the City is going to do. Mr. McMillan said the City does not want to
execute the agreement. He said the
operative provisions of the agreement are basically between the County and
Colonial. He said Colonial has agreed
not to proceed or pursue annexation of any of the property for another ten
years at least. The staff put in the
agreement those things most concerned about that would be operative between the
County and Colonial, whether the City agrees or not. So the County could move forward without the
City. The agreement has been written
that it’s enforceable against any two parties that sign it.

Carey stated

Fisher said it needs to be clear that is not a

Carey said the County needs to be responsible and follow up on this because
with the development being in her district, she gets the calls about the

Commissioner
Morris clarified the annexation issue with Colonial was on the properties north
of 46A, they would not annex for ten years.
The County got concurrence from the Mayor of Lake Mary that it was their
intent to annex the properties from 46A down to
Mr.
Fisher added that the overall impact is much more substantial than $2 million
per year.
Commissioner
Morris continued that if the County appeals this, it needs to be stated that
the appeal could take at least two to two and a half years off the timeline for
the City to meet their accomplishments and get approvals by DCA, St. Johns
River Water Management District and all the other regulatory authorities. If that is the case, they could move beyond
the current townhomes market the developer is looking to capitalize on. Basically, the Board is saying they are
willing to forgo that and try to cooperate.

CHAIRMAN’S
REPORT
Chairman
Henley stated he received a letter (copy received and filed) before the meeting
today regarding the Winter Springs City Commission meeting last night, which
was prompted by the ruling of the appeals court on the rural area lawsuit. The sentiment of the Winter Springs
Commission was to appeal the decision of the ruling. The main concern is the four acres that were
annexed. He has talked with a
representative from the City and understands that this whole thing can be put
to bed if the County considers moving the four acres already annexed into the
City outside the rural zone. He said the
City in their letter indicates they have adopted the ordinance dealing with the
distance they are going to annex and this squares off their line. They are willing to put into the comp plan
that they have no intentions of annexing further into the Black Hammock
area. He asked for the Board’s reaction
regarding this. Chairman Henley stated
he talked to Mr. Creedon yesterday, and he talked to other interested citizens,
and he understood that they would support the BCC doing this provided Winter
Springs amended this in their comp plan in the next cycle.
Commissioner
Morris asked if Winter Springs City Commissioner Blake could give a synopsis of
their actions.
City
Commissioner Blake addressed the Board to state the main concern of the Winter
Springs Board is there is a lack of clarity of what happens with the four acres
that was annexed into Winter Springs prior to the referendum question to the
voters. He said it is not clear whether
the City has the right to place land use and zoning on the four acres or the
County has the right to do that. That
was the purpose of going forward with the appeal process. After a lengthy meeting, their Commission
voted five to zero to agree that if they had a better definition of where the
rural line is, and if the subject property were taken out of the rural area and
placed into the urban service district in Winter Springs, then they would have
no question to ask and they would not go forward with the appeals process.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Blake stated the City adopted the ordinance
to draw a line along the eastern boundary of
Commissioner
Morris commended Mr. Blake for trying to work this out.
Mr.
McMillan advised under the Charter amendment, the Board needs to pass an
ordinance excluding the property from the rural boundary.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded
by Commissioner Carey, to direct the County Attorney to prepare an ordinance
for public hearing, as discussed to exclude the subject four acres and, thereby,
shrink the rural boundary.
Under
discussion, Mr. Blake advised Winter Springs has already made the filing to the
Department of Community Affairs, and with the BCC’s action today, they will
withdraw that.
Mr.
Creedon affirmed he supports the action of the BCC.
Mr.
McMillan said he will try to get the ordinance drafted and brought to the Board
at the next meeting.

AGENDA, Continued
Suzan
Bunn addressed the Board to request a recommendation of the 2006-07 funding for
the Zoo out of the Tourist Development Council monies. She explained in the April, 2006, meeting the
TDC Council voted to raise the funding to $300,000.
Chairman
Henley advised he believes it was the intent of the Board to fund in the second
year $200,000, and the budget presently reflects that amount. They will have to amend that if the Board
wishes to increase the funding.
Commissioner
Carey said they have made great strides at the Zoo and the private
contributions have changed the look of the zoo.
She advised Ms. Bunn clarified that $270,000 is actually in the TDC
budget for the Zoo and the additional $30,000 would come from the TDC reserves.
Commissioner
Dallari said seeing that the Zoo has made great strides to reduce their
overhead and have gone after private funding, he thinks it would be
advantageous to increase their level of funding to $300,000.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari,
seconded by Commissioner Carey, to approve and authorize the Chairman to
execute the Agreement, as shown on page _______, between
Under
discussion, Chairman Henley cautioned that the Board has a lot of plans and
desires they would like to be able to move forward with. Part of the discussion at budget time was on
having to cut back on advertising and that didn’t sit too well with the
hoteliers. He said he believes the
agreement spells out how the Board expects the money to be spent and he thinks
they need to continue to monitor that and the efforts being made to raise money
from private sources rather than continuing to increase the government’s
contribution every time.

Commissioner Henley said it concerns him that the individual received the
letter after the deadline had expired and staff did not go back to determine
whether the violation had been corrected until September 13 and it could have
been corrected by August 31. For these
reasons, he has problems with supporting the staff recommendations. He recommended the lien be reduced to the
actual cost to the County.

seconded by Commissioner Morris, to approve a reduction to the Code Enforcement
Lien (Case #05-66-CEB), property
located at 910 Spring Valley Road, Altamonte Springs, FL, Kirkman Properties,

Ms.
Boswell introduced Frances Chandler-Marino, Nancy Roberts and Craig Shadrix of
Glatting Jackson Kercher Anglin Lopez and Rinehart to provide followup on the
Rural Land Study, also known as the 2006 Rural Character Plan. She stated staff is also seeking Board
direction on any policies or regulations the Board may want to have implemented
from the study.
Ms.
Chandler-Marino addressed the Board to give a PowerPoint presentation (copy
received and filed) covering the following topics: Study Purpose, Key Findings, Key
Recommendations, and Tools.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide left the meeting room at this time.
Following
the discussion of Tools, Ms. Chandler-Marino began discussing the Two Key
Concerns of Landowners under the heading of Follow-up Items.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide returned to the meeting room at this time.
Ms.
Chandler-Marino further covered the topics of the Seminole County Adopted Comprehensive
Plan Policy FLU 11.1, What are Rural Lands?; What Purpose(s) Does The Rural
Lands of Seminole County Serve? What is
the Value of the Rural Area?; and If the Answer Is - Method to Insure Orderly
Growth, Then The Next Steps for the County Would Be.
Commissioner
Morris left the meeting room at this time.
Commissioner
Carey said there were a lot of things as far as recommendations that she
expected to come out of the study, now that they see how this is actually built.
Commissioner
Morris returned to the meeting room at this time.
Commissioner
Carey continued that if they are trying to protect the rural land, they have to
look at where that transition is going to happen, now that it’s already been built
up to the urban services boundary line. She
said on the eastern boundary, there is an opportunity for transitioning. She thinks that is something they have to
talk about, because at this point, the transition has to happen on the rural
side because it didn’t happen on the urban side. She said in reading the information about
transfer and development rights, that is an option, but she didn’t see any
strong recommendations for incentives to get people to do that. She thinks if it were worth the people doing
it, many of the people could develop their properties into three, five and ten
acres. She said unless they have the
incentives to do the TDR’s, she is not sure that’s going to happen. She doesn’t think they have enough
information yet to set a policy on that.
Commissioner Carey said she has heard from a number of the large
landowners and their concerns are, at some point, they need to have some
consideration about how they can develop the land. Whether it’s into a standard three, five or
ten-acre development or clustering, it’s got to be a win-win for everybody. She doesn’t think the Board has enough
information or recommendations from the consultant to make those
decisions. She concluded they have a lot
of different things going on and she has not yet seen information from the professional
staff to say here are three or four recommendations the Board can look at to
set a policy on how to protect the rural area, but also those owners some
rights that would make sense. She said
she is willing to accept the consultant’s report as one of information, but she
thinks it needs to be fully noted that they have a lot of large landowners who
are opposed to it because the report doesn’t answer those questions. She said those landowners and she were
looking to see what were the recommendations going to be to put this in
place.
Discussion
ensued with Ms. Chandler-Marino, who said she thinks the simple answer to the
transition which is one of the recommendations they made is that they use a
buffer. To an extent, they will have
development come in, they will have some kind of set buffer, whether it’s 100
feet or whatever, that is the mechanism by which they are going to protect
rural development from urban development.
The more complicated answer is, will the Board provide some kind of
clustering option that is going to create a separation of those urban areas
from the rural area or not. She said she
never got a good feel that the Board was interested in talking about that any
further. It is a lot different than what
they do today. She said if the Board is
not going to be interested in looking at any kind of clustering that goes
beyond one to three, they are not going to create sufficient incentives for the
property owners to want to do transfer development rights.
Commissioner
Carey said she heard from the Board that they wanted to look at these things,
and that didn’t come back in the report.
Commissioner
Morris stated that clearly the TDR does not work. He said he believes there is one place in the
nation that has shown some success and that’s after 25 years. He doesn’t think TDR’s merit a full
discussion. The Commission has taken a
pattern regarding the transition issue (with the last couple developments
before them) to put in a 100-foot buffer on the urban side of the line, and yet
they’re able to hold the density. That
is apparently not solving what people would like it to solve, because
potentially it may be opaque or a cow pasture with a shed view. He said the cluster zoning concept is one the
Board should be thinking about for the future for the large property owners. He said in his discussions with those in the
rural area, they would be willing to put a buffer in (if it is a buffer of one
unit to the acre, for instance) right along the urban line. The question is how deep does the buffer
go. He thinks the consultant’s report is
a good one to accept because it defines the current state of affairs and gives
quite a few options in development. He
thinks the consultant spent a little too much time on the TDR concept. He said the issue of the buffer in the rural
zone may need some further explanation of what the depth of that would be to
truly give a real transition. He said he
doesn’t favor any further study and doesn’t think it would be appropriate at
this time.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide said he thinks the Board has studied this to death.
Commissioner
Carey said she has been on the Board for one and a half years now and has been
asking that question of how wide the transition needs to be, and she hasn’t had
anyone to be able to answer that yet.
She’s still waiting for that answer.
Commissioner
Dallari said one of the things he would like to see added in the report is the
public input from the large property owners and single-family homeowners. He said he and Commissioners Carey and Morris
have been to several meetings with the public, and there is nothing in the
report that addresses that. He said he
also thinks there should be more discussion in the report about transition.
Chairman
Henley said, as far as this report, he didn’t see all kinds of answers in it,
but he thinks it brings the Board up-to-date of what the Comp Plan does say and
that is valuable from the standpoint of where they move from there.
Chairman
Henley acknowledged a letter (received and filed) from Mr. Rex Clonts who
indicated his concerns and opposition to the report and impact upon the large
landowners. Also, a letter (received and
filed) was received from the Coalition for Property Rights giving objections;
and letter (received and filed) from Imogene Yarborough, who expressed
objections to the Rural Area Study.
Chairman
Commissioner
Carey stated she would like to see the report finalized to include the
information Commissioner Dallari spoke about and the letters of objections that
came in. She said she would like to see
the final report come back
The
Board’s consensus was to wait to
accept the Rural Area Study after getting the final document.
Commissioner
Morris recommended to drop the TDR out of the report and make it an amendment
to the report. He said the Board could
ask that a recommendation on the transition issues be presented with the final
document before the Board accepts the report.
He asked should the Board look solely at the issue of cluster zoning on
the large parcels and get a recommendation on how large the parcel should be to
justify cluster.
Chairman
Henley summarized the Board wants the transfer of rights separate from the
report, want the size of the lots involved, recommendations regarding what the
buffer should be in transitional zoning areas--how wide the one unit to the
acre needs to be, and the information Commissioner Dallari requested.
Upon inquiry by Ms. Chandler-Marino,
Commissioner Morris clarified they are talking about clustering with the same
density.

Request
to present conceptual site and floor plans for the proposed Museum Educational
multi-purpose building, including cost estimate; and adoption of a Resolution
supporting participation in the Cultural Facilities Grant Program, was
presented.
Rick
Mellon, ZHA Inc., addressed the Board to state he was engaged by the County to
look at some options for a long-range plan of the Museum. He displayed a site plan and advised the
proposed plan shows a 4,300 sq. ft. facility.
He explained the difference of the previous site plans and the current
site plan. He displayed and reviewed the
Level 1 and Level 2 plans, as well as the exterior elevation. He reviewed the breakdown of the program
areas of each floor. He stated the
construction cost is approximately $185.00 a sq. ft.
Commissioner
Carey stated at the last meeting the Board directed staff to look at a
two-story museum building that would be about 9,000 sq. ft. for about $150.00 a
sq. ft. and that would work out to be $1.4 million. If the County was successful in getting the
grant for $500,000 and it is matched with $1 million that would come to $5.1
million. With the estimates, it would be
far more than that amount.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated this is bigger and more elaborate and it doesn’t surprise
him that the cost has gone up. The
question is, does it meet the needs of the Museum and do they want to continue
their policy of doing it right. He
stated the only surprise he has is the second floor has been changed
significantly.
Commissioner
Dallari stated the Board asked staff to find out what the cost would be for a
9,000 sq. ft. building.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated the more people there is the more a facility is required
and it will serve classrooms and display cases.
He stated he hopes to have a memorial for the fallen police officers and
firemen in this Museum.
Commissioner
Carey stated she feels the Board has been supporting the desires of the history
of the Museum by moving forward with this building. The motion made at the last meeting was to
look at building the facility at $150 a sq. ft.
She stated she spoke to the Historical Museum Board members and they
were not anticipating this type of cost construction. She said she feels they need to work toward
giving them a building that would be of a caliber the County is used to seeing,
but they don’t need to build a Taj Mahal.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he feels that if they set a dollar figure per square foot
on anything that they are projecting to build with the way government builds,
the cost will go up considerably. The
key is that they deliver something that the public will recognize as theirs,
and it doesn’t have to be a Taj Mahal.
Commissioner
Morris discussed with Suzy Goldman, Library & Leisure Services Director,
the layout of the grant proposal and phasing the construction.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated this project will serve the whole County and will have a
long-term lasting effect.
Chairman
Henley stated the Board needs to be aware that they used up the entire
contingency that was set up before they realized the windfall and now they are
in the windfall.
Commissioner
Morris stated they did have a plan to stay in the Sanford Courthouse building
for a number of years, but if they want to do it the way former staff wanted
to, they would be building a new administrative building. However, the BCC has decided not to do that.
Cindy
Coto, County Manager, stated one of the things that staff is attempting to do
for the July budget work sessions is to present a 5-year horizon of the
revenues and expenditures. It looks like
the County will have a very healthy year, but after that, she predicts that the
revenue stream is going to level off to what they have seen in prior
years. She stated she has asked staff to
put together a capital improvement program for all the buildings and to try to
look at a 5-year horizon. As issues come
forward, they will have to put them in some sort of context as to what are the
priorities, how do they fund them, and how do they fund future operations.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Ms. Coto advised funding for the strategic
plan is available in the 2005/2006 budget. She stated staff is obtaining scopes of work
from other entities that had done strategic plans, and she hopes that they will
have some information to present to the Board as to how they will proceed with
that plan.
Commissioner
Morris stated the dynamic tension between the policy maker and staff is why
Commissioner
Carey asked if it would be appropriate to move forward with the grant
application; but as they move through the long-range plan and budget work
sessions, they will try to determine what the total number will be allocated
for this project.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he would like to move forward with the project but would
hate to put a total figure on it.
Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide,
seconded by Commissioner Dallari to authorize staff to come back in two weeks
with the conceptual site and floor plans for the proposed Museum Educational
multi-purpose building, including cost estimates and how the phasing will work.

Joe
Gasparini, Parks & Recreation Manager, requested direction on a partnership
offer for the operation of
Commissioner
Morris stated he feels there is a mistake in terms of the timing of what they
are doing as they do not know what they will be building. They also have an offer from the same
management company to remove part of the activity centers they have relative to
one field to put up another building that they will own or the County will own. He said he feels they should hold off on this
and RFP the actual construction for the site.
Another issue is there should be discussions with
Chairman
Henley stated regardless of who manages that operation out there, it takes time
to get into tournament schedules as it takes one or two years or more to
recruit.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Chairman Henley advised if they wait until the
fields are finished and then engage someone, that will take more time to crank
up and he doesn’t know how long the commitment of the American Amateur Baseball
Congress will run.
Commissioner
Dallari stated he would like to ask staff for a time line for both
Ms.
Goldman advised staff is currently working with Post Buckley Schuh &
Jernigan (PBS&J) and they are going to try to have that completed by
mid-to-late July with the preliminary design on both facilities with the time
line.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Ms. Goldman advised she would have to contact
PBS&J to determine whether or not it would take that long to get the time
line.
Commissioner
Carey stated she doesn’t know what the urgency is if they are investing all of

did the bids go to try to get people to submit to the RFP.
Mr.
Gasparini advised the RFP was sent to the Triple A USA Organizations and
various cities. There are four or five
people that run these types of programs.
Chairman
Henley stated he feels the County informed the organizations what facilities
will be provided for that site and then asked them to respond as to what type
of program they would be prepared to operate.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Ms. Goldman advised staff was directed to issue
this RFP to see if there was a development partner.

by Commissioner Carey to authorize the
Under
discussion, Commissioner Dallari stated he recalls the agreement indicated that
there will be 150 parking spaces, a picnic pavilion, three lighted soccer
fields and an equestrian element.
Commissioner
Carey stated the discussions indicated that they would give them $1 million to
help move that forward and the equestrian element would be part of the
park.
Chairman
Henley stated the other issue was a joint deal from a standpoint of providing a
park and they made it plain that they were not giving them $1 million for an
athletic complex.
Commissioner
Dallari requested that a copy of the City’s approved master plan be included in
the letter.

-------
Commissioner
Morris stated there is a circumstance relating to the process of the Employee
Grievance Board. He stated other
jurisdictions do different things in different ways relative to this and it may
be better to do something more legal to protect the interest of both parties by
moving to some type of hearing officer format.
Mr.
McMillan stated he doesn’t have a reason why they couldn’t, but it would have
to be built into the system. He stated a
hearing officer would make recommendations to the
Commissioner
Morris stated instead of going to the full committee, they would go to a
hearing officer.
Mr.
McMillan stated the Appeal Grievance Committee does not have the authority to
hire or fire, but they make recommendations to the
Commissioner
Morris stated he feels it would be appropriate to eliminate that committee and
replace it with a hearing officer. He
stated he would like staff to come back at a later date with an option that is
a much cleaner process.
Chairman
Henley recommended scheduling that as a briefing item.
Mr.
McMillan informed the Board that the County won the rural boundary case (Winter
Springs).
-------
Mr.
McMillan stated a gentleman, John Wilson, has been contacting his office
relative to an incarceration lien. He
stated the money has been paid for this and he needs to obtain a release for
same. He said the paper work got
shuffled through the process and he needs authorization for the Chairman to
execute the Satisfaction of Lien. A copy
of the proposed Satisfaction was received and filed.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari,
seconded by Commissioner Morris to authorize the Chairman to execute the
Satisfaction of Lien, as shown on page ________, John B. Wilson, for the cost

described in the proof of publication.
Steve
Olson, Community Information Director, addressed the Board to briefly review
the request for approval of an Ordinance and entering into a ten-year franchise
renewal agreement with Bright House Networks, LLC. He submitted a copy of the proposed
ordinance.
Commissioner
Morris complimented Bright House for working with the County on this
issue. He highlighted the terms of the
agreement relating to the franchise being nonexclusive; Bright House
cooperating with the County in sending information whenever EOC is activated
for emergencies; a channel for education; the County will continue to receive
revenue from the Communications Service Tax; Bright House maintaining insurance
requirements; cable service being provided to County buildings and schools
within 500 ft. of cable access; conducting periodic customer satisfaction
surveys; and a capital grant for equipment upgrades and acquisitions.

that allow the County to audit Bright House’s books.

Mr.
Olson stated staff met with the officials of AT&T yesterday and if they
decide to do cable, they were advised that they would have to play fairly.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide complimented staff and Commissioner Morris for their efforts in
bringing this forth.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Commissioner Morris advised in this case the
County now has two channels and when the BCC chooses to activate the educational
channel, Bright House will have up to 5 years to implement that channel. The School Board does not have any intention
of going with a live broadcast or taped broadcasts right now. This agreement will only contemplate allowing
the School Board to operate independently.

At
the request of Commissioner Van Der Weide, Mr. Rumer reviewed the restricted

other uses requested as they want it to be specifically for a dance school and
they have met the LDC requirements.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Mr. Bonyadi advised the owner of the
property is agreeable to staff’s recommendations.
Commissioner

Dale
Bennett,
At
the request of Chairman Henley, Mr. Bennett indicated on the aerial where the
fence and walkway is located.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide pointed out that the lake path is owned by the applicant and High
Croft has an easement. He said it is
hard to force the owner to fence off his own property.
Mr.
Bennett stated he would like to see some type of buffer on the north side of
the lake so that the lights at night will not shine onto their property.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated the original rezoning was approved in the 1980’s and he
understands the concerns of the residents.
He stated he discussed this with staff and the applicant and he is sure
the applicant is not going to cut that access off. He said the applicant assured him that he is
willing to work with any reasonable buffer.
He stated he would have liked the applicant to have worked with the
residents to see what they could work out before they got to this point.
Mr.
Bonyadi stated in laying out the site plan he considered those concerns. They placed two buildings as far as they
could against the setback to the north of the property line and adjacent to the
current Commercial Regions Bank. They
tried to place the parking spaces with the landscape buffer that will be added
to the plans to meet the requirements.
He stated the nearest parking is almost 200 ft. away from the first set
of homes. A retention pond is separating
the nearest parking space. They will be
meeting the lighting requirements by not washing over into the neighborhood. He said they will meet all the requirements;
and they want to be a good neighbor.
No one else spoke in support or in
opposition.
Speaker
Request Forms were received and filed.
District
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he has met with the applicant and residents
and he wishes that they had gotten together to come up with a mutual agreement. He recommended restricting the uses of a
dance studio in Building A and Office uses in Building B and, if anything
changes, that it would have to come back to the Board.

seconded by Commissioner Carey to adopt Ordinance #2006-38, as shown on page

variance from 10 ft. to 5 ft. for an existing shed in the R-1AA (Single Family
Dwelling District), at 2951 Boland Drive, Salvador Corona, received and filed.
Ian
Sikonia, Planning, addressed the Board to present the request. He stated staff’s recommendation is to uphold
the BOA’s decision in denying the setback variances based on staff’s findings.
Dan
Fist, representing the applicant, addressed the Board to state he is speaking
on behalf of the applicant due to a language barrier. He reviewed the purpose of the shed and
stated he submitted a survey to Commissioner Dallari that shows it being 75 ft.
from the neighbor’s well. He asked the
Board to consider his request and approve the variances.
Mr.
Fist informed Chairman Henley what is being stored in the shed.
Chairman
Henley stated he can’t imagine having that size of a shed as he has a pump in
his shed and it is not that large.
No
one else spoke in support or in opposition.
District
Commissioner Dallari stated he believes this is a self-inflicted hardship.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari,
seconded by Commissioner Carey to uphold the BOA’s decision to deny a rear yard

utility easement located at the rear of the property of Lot 68, Huntington,
Richard and Linda Freeman, received and filed.
Alan

requesting to vacate a 2 ft. portion of a 15 ft. wide platted drainage and
utility easement in order to clear a cloud of title due to an encroachment of
an existing pool deck and pool enclosure.
He stated staff finds that the proposed vacate would not produce adverse

consider request to Rezone 10+/- acres located on the west side of Brooks Lane
approximately 0.42 miles south of Red Bug Lake Road, from A-1 (Agriculture) to
R-1AA (Single-Family Dwelling), Jay Barfield, received and filed.
Benjamin
Dunn, Planning, addressed the Board to present the request. He stated staff conducted the lot size
compatibility analysis as required by the Land Development Code and Vision 2020
Comprehensive Plan, and determined that the analysis does not support the requested
rezone to R-1AA. The analysis indicated
that R-1AAA is a more appropriate zoning district. Staff recommends denial of the request but
feel that R-1AAA is more appropriate based on the lot size compatibility
analysis. The P&Z Commission recommended
denial based on staff findings.
Jay
Barfield, Florida Homes Constructors, addressed the Board to state his company
builds and develops residential and commercial neighborhoods. He stated he spoke with staff and would like
to voluntarily change to R-1AAA on the west and southern borders and R-1AA on
the northern border. The one issue as it
relates to the property is the demarcation line between the LDR and the
Suburban Estates line. He said staff is
recommending R-1AAA and he is in agreement with that. The property consists of 10.4 acres and they
are asking for 2½ units per acre. They
feel they have complied by the perimeters set by the County. He displayed a map (not received and filed)
showing the 10.4 acres and he reviewed the zoning of the surrounding
properties. He stated when they started
the proposal, they submitted a plan showing 26 lots and R-1AA layout. He displayed a map (not received and filed)
showing the lot sizes. He stated after
dealing with additional input from staff, the P&Z Commission, and the
residents, they changed the layout reflecting the R-1AAA to the south and to
the west backing up to Stonehurst. All
of those lots meet the 100 ft. and all the perimeters. The northern lots meet the R-1AA
standards. He said one of the issues was
the setbacks up and down
John
Herbert, American Civil Engineering, addressed the Board to review the drainage
issues that were referred to at the P&Z Commission meeting.
District
Commissioner Dallari stated he has not seen the overall review of the Small
Area Study that was done in the mid 90’s.
He stated he has asked staff to review the study and report back to the
Board. Therefore, he would like to
continue this item so that staff can report back to see if this area is
developed per that Small Area Study to ensure that the development concurs with
LDR and with the character of the area.
Commissioner
Carey stated in her research there are a number of things that she would like
to have confirmed. There were several
maps in that Small Area Study that showed the northwest corner area being
removed based on an application from some land owners requesting that their
property would remain R-1AAA. She
requested that this be confirmed.
Commissioner
Dallari stated he would like to have this done before they go into the public
hearing.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari,
seconded by Commissioner Carey to continue to June 27, 2006 at 1:30 p.m., or as
soon thereafter, request to Rezone 10+/- acres located on the west side of
Brooks Lane approximately 0.42 miles south of Red Bug Lake Road, from A-1
(Agriculture) to R-1AA (Single-Family Dwelling), as described in the proof of
publication, Jay Barfield, in order to have this Small Area Study and questions
clarified.

inquiry by Dianna Blakey, 1560 Brooks Lane, Commissioner Carey advised that
there was a petition submitted to the BCC in 1995, when they were going through
the process that Ms. Blakey was opposed to the land change. Ms. Blakey requested a copy of the petition.

Mr.
Dunn presented the request as outlined in the Agenda Memorandum. He stated staff recommends approval of the
request, however, the Board may want to consider a rezone to Planned Commercial
Development (PCD) based on the recent discussions concerning the character of
the area. There is an existing PCD
abutting the subject site to the west and northwest. At the May 23, 2006 BCC meeting, the Board
continued a request to rezone to C-3 for Big Boy’s Storage to give the

of the request.

Commissioner Dallari stated he is in agreement with staff that this should be a
PCD type zoning.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari,
seconded by Commissioner Carey to
continue to July 25, 2006, at 1:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as possible,
request to Rezone 0.80+/- acres located on the west side of SR 426 north of

as described in the proof of publication, Victor Triana, with no additional
costs to the applicant.
Under
discussion, Mr. McMillan advised that in order to make this request a PCD,
there will have to be a new application with the submittals.
Commissioner
Dallari stated he wants to make sure that there is no additional cost to the
applicant.
Mr.
Fisher stated if the request is continued for a period of 45 days, it will give
staff time to process that application and take it to P&Z Commission and
then to the BCC in July. He stated it is
at the Board’s discretion of waiving the fees.
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Henley, Ms. Triana advised if this item is continued, it
will create a hardship on their plans.
Commissioner
Carey stated the applicant will have to submit a site plan anyway.
Mr.
Fisher stated staff will do a dual review so that the applicant will not loose
any time in the process of dealing with staff.
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Henley, Mr. McMillan advised the Board does not need to
deny the request.

have been working with the cities on economic development but he believes there
have been some questions as to who is doing what and who is annexing which part
