-----
Sue Woodbery,
Keith & Schnars, Professional Associates, addressed the Board to give a
PowerPoint presentation on the I-4 Master Plan, reviewing the construction
projects currently going on in Orange County, Seminole County, and Volusia
County. She distributed to the Board
copies of the newsletter, “Four Cast,” (copy received and filed). She discussed their web page, the
newsletter, educational outreach program, lane closure distribution notice, 511
traffic information service, renumbering of major interstates, and the road
ranger, a program to help stranded motorists.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Maloy, Mr. McMillan discussed Item #6 giving background
information.
4. Approve and execute Purchase Agreement, as shown on page _______,
relating to Lyell Hintz, Parcel Numbers 100/800 of the Lake Emma Road road
improvement project, located on the north side of Longwood Hills Road west of
the Lake Emma Road intersection in the amount of $60,000.00, with no attorney’s fees or expert costs
incurred.
Litigation
5. Approve proposed settlement relating to Irene Davis and Tami Temika
McDonald’s property, Parcel Number 846 of the County Road 427 Phase I road
improvement project, located along the east right-of-way of County Road 427
south of Oak Avenue and north of Marker Street, Altamonte Springs, in the
amount of $7,000.00, inclusive of attorney’s fees and costs.
6. Authorization to defend regarding Longwood Green Inc. v. Seminole County. Lawsuit seeks damages and injunctive
relief based on the construction of drainage inlets and other improvements on
Plaintiff’s property. The Plaintiff, developer of Longwood Green and The Oaks
at Longwood Green subdivisions, claims County activity during the construction
of County Road 427 Phase III resulted in an unauthorized invasion of his
property. Plaintiff’s legal claims are based on theories of inverse
condemnation and trespass.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley about
the number of projects for Item #19, ranking list for PS-5114-02, County
Engineer Jerry McCollum addressed the Board to advise he estimates there would
be 10 to 12 projects a year.
Commissioner
Morris discussed Item #37, Resolution and County Deeds, Seminole County to City
of Lake Mary and Lake Mary Woods Phases III and IV Homeowners’
Association. He said there may be other
properties like the one involved with this project where the homeowners may
want to incorporate, but don’t know that they can. He said it might be interesting to see if this is the case in the
districts where there are a lot of road widening going on. He said this was an opportunity to add an
amenity to the community that otherwise the County would not have been able to
do for the residents. This might be a
concept to consider when there is a big surplus of lands of odd configuration
or not appropriate for the County to sell for the original purpose intended.
Motion
by Commissioner Henley, seconded by Commissioner Morris, to approve and authorize
the following:
7. BCR #02-112 –
$18,000 – Public Works – Traffic Engineering – Fund: 10101 – Transportation
Fund. The Traffic Engineering Division
needs to replace a 1993 F-150 pickup truck that has caught on fire several
times. Fleet Management recommends
replacement. Funds are available since
several equipment purchases came in less than budget.
8. BCR #02-113 –
$54,369 – Public Works – Stormwater – Fund: 13000 – Stormwater Fund. Five
Stormwater projects in the Howell Creek sub-basin are funded by the St. Johns
River Water Management District. The
original project costs were based upon estimates. An accounting adjustment within these projects is necessary to
reflect actual expenditures in order to support the amount of site
reimbursement requested for each project.
9. BCR #02-114 –
$38,167 – Public Safety – EMS Trust – Fund: 11800 – EMS Trust Fund. Staff requests the designation of EMS Trust Funds in the amount of
$38,167 for the purchase of a Human Patient Simulator for use in training EMTs
and paramedics. This equipment was
approved for purchase by the State EMS Office.
10. BCR #02-115 –
$80,000 – Public Safety – EMS/Fire/Rescue – Fund: 11200 – Fire Fund. Staff requests this transfer of funds as a result of the increased
cost associated with the new billing company for EMS transport services. The contractor is paid based on a percentage
of funds collected. The company has
brought in over $500,000 of additional revenue.
11. BCR #02-116 –
$65,000 – Public Works – Engineering – Fund: 10101 – Transportation Trust Fund. As
identified in the County Engineer’s July 8, 2002 memorandum, staff recommends
the purchase of two parcels of land fronting Citrus Road. Funds for the purchase of the property are
available in Road Operations and Engineering.
12. BCR #02-117 –
$120,000 – Public Works/Information Technologies – Fund: 10101 – Transportation
Fund. An overhead fiber optic line used
by the County needs to be relocated (buried) along Seminole Boulevard and
Mellonville Avenue to accommodate the City of Sanford’s Riverwalk Project. This is not a previously anticipated project
in the budget. Request a transfer from
Transportation Trust Fund reserves.
13. BCR #02-118 –
$15,000 – Library & Leisure Services – Parks & Recreation – Fund: 00100
– General Fund. Additional funds are needed for replacement
of playground equipment at Sylvan Lake Park.
This project was scheduled for replacement in Fiscal Year 2001/02. Funds
are available in the Cross Seminole Lake Howell Creek Trestle repair
project. The scope of the Cross
Seminole project changed due to further engineering assessment resulting in a
savings.
14. BCR #02-119 –
$80,000 – Public Works – Engineering – Fund: 32100 – General Fund. Additional lighting is needed for the I-4 pedestrian overpass
based upon a request from the Board.
Request a transfer from Trails Bond Fund reserves.
15. BCR #02-120 –
$16,475 – Public Works – Traffic Engineering – Fund: 10101 – Transportation
Trust Fund. Additional
storage space is needed by the Traffic Engineering Division. A mezzanine level can be added to the
warehouse, which would add an additional 748 square feet of storage. Funds are
available from the operating supplies line.
16. Adoption
of Budget Amendment
Resolution #2002-R-125, as shown on page _______, $4,500 – Library &
Leisure Services: Fund 60307 – 4H Donation Fund. The 4H Donation Fund is used to collect donations and
registration fees for 4H activities.
Actual revenues received have exceeded the budget amount. An increase in the budget is necessary to
account for the increased revenue and to pay registrations for specific
activities.

-------
Linda
Eiland, Insurance, addressed the Board to request approval to award
RFP-4158-02/BJC Employee Benefits as follows: (1) LTD to Reliance Standard
effective 01/01/03 – 12/31/04; (2) STD and Cancer/Dread and Universal Life to
GE/Professional Insurance Corporation effective 01/01/03 – 12/31/03; and (3)
5500, Cobra and Flexible Spending Account Administration to Employee Benefits
Corp., effective 01/01/03 – 12/31/03; and authorize Chairman to execute the
necessary documents.
Ms.
Eiland reported on the joint meeting with staff, the life carrier, and
short-term and long-term disability carrier.
She said the short-term disability carrier requested addition of the
Universal Life policy to his program, because of his concern for losing
business on the long term. The life
carrier had no objections; therefore, staff has included this in the
recommendation.
Commissioner
Henley expressed his concern that after they have opened the bid, they are now
allowing a vendor to make available to the employees an item that was not
competitively bid. He said this could
be precedent-setting. He would like to
approve everything in one motion that has been bid and then deal with the
universal life separately. Discussion
ensued.
Andria
Herr, Alliance Group Inc. Services, addressed the Board to state universal life
is not currently an option for the County employees, so it was not included in
the bid package that went out.
Commissioner
Henley said he thinks it is more important to provide long-term disability to
the employees than be concerned about a provider possibly losing money. His concern is only with the process.
Upon
further discussion, Chairman McLain recommended eliminating the universal life
until next year and move forward, and the Board will bid that for Year
2004. He said he thinks it’s better to
have one vendor provide the services for continuity with the employees than
having two or three vendors doing enrollments, meetings, and talking to the
employees. He explained that is
acceptable if the product is that much better, but if there is not much
difference between the products, then you would want the same enroller. Therefore, he recommended waiting until 2004
and evaluating the life insurance across the board and, hopefully, the vendor
the County is using now will come up with a competitive product to be selected. This way, the process would be served.
Ms.
Herr concurred with Chairman McLain’s recommendation.
Chairman
McLain suggested approving everything except universal life coverage.
Motion
by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Henley, to approve award of
RFP-4158-02 Employee Benefits as follows:
(1) LTD to Reliance Standard effective 1/01/03 – 12/31/04; (2) STD and
Cancer/Dread to GE/Professional Insurance Corporation effective 01/01/03 –
12/31/03, excluding Universal Life; and (3) 5500, Cobra and Flexible
Spending Account Administration to Employee Benefits Corp., effective 01/01/03
– 12/31/03; and authorize Chairman to execute the necessary documents, as shown
on page _______.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Chairman
McLain recessed the meeting at 10:25 a.m. and reconvened at 10:40 a.m.
Chairman
McLain asked the Board to consider at this time the requests for continuance
for some other issues, Items #58, #60, and #63, on the afternoon and evening
agenda.
Mr.
Grace stated the Board can do a formal continuance this afternoon for Items #58
& #60, but if it is the Board’s consensus to continue, they can let staff
know this morning so the residents can be contacted. He asked for a motion from the Board on Item #63 so the Board would
not have to come this evening and the County Attorney could do so in the
Board’s stead.
The
Board, by consensus, stated they would continue Items #58 and #60 as requested.
Motion
by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Henley, to continue to
September 10, 2002, at 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as possible,
consideration of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Suburban Estates to Low
Density Residential; and Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to PUD (Planned Unit
Development); property described as Lake Jesup Woods, located south of Myrtle
Street and east of Hester Avenue; as described in the proof of publication,
Hugh Harling.
Under
discussion, Commissioner Morris reminded the Board that September 10 is
Election Day. The Board briefly
discussed changing the continuance to September 24, but decided not to do so.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

DCM Sally Sherman and Betsy Cohen,
Purchasing, addressed the Board to request ranking the firms for PS-5118-02/BJC – Architectural and
Engineering Services for the Seminole County Convention Center; and authorize
staff to negotiate the agreement with the top ranked firm or with the second
firm, if negotiations with the top ranked firm fail.
Commissioner
Maloy stated he thinks the project has some flaws that will be difficult to
correct. He would hate to hire a
company and not have the financing plan in place. He asked if they were going to withhold any payments until the
Board comes up with a solid plan.
Whereupon, Mr. Grace explained what the Board was going to do today is
basically select a firm. Staff plans to
come back in September with a contract, an interlocal agreement with the City
of Sanford and, at that time, will update the Board on the financial
projections.
Commissioner Maloy said he would like to
see the County reassess what the marketplace already has. He has some serious concerns about the
feasibility of this project.
Commissioner Henley asked if the County
would not be under contract until they settle the interlocal agreement. Mr. Grace answered there would not be any
actual commitment of dollars until after the Board approves the interlocal
agreement.
The Board voted on their number one choice,
and Mr. McMillan reported the votes as follows: Commissioners Maloy, Morris, McLain and Van Der Weide voted for
Burke Bales & Mills Associates, Inc.
Commissioner Henley voted for The Scott
Partnership Architecture, Inc.
The Board voted on their number two choice,
and Mr. McMillan reported the votes as follows: Commissioners McLain and Maloy voted for VOA Associates, Inc.;
Commissioners Henley and Morris voted for The Scott Partnership Architecture,
Inc.; and Commissioner Van Der Weide voted for Borrelli & Associates
Architects Planners, P.A.
As there were not three votes for any
choice, the Board voted again for the number two choice, with Commissioners
McLain, Maloy, and Van Der Weide voting for VOA Associates, Inc.
Commissioners Henley and Morris voted for
The Scott Partnership Architecture, Inc.
Commissioner Henley commended staff on
their efforts made in the evaluations.
He thinks they are all good firms and capable of doing the work. He said he likes the rating service for the
29 items. He thinks it would be well if
staff incorporates some of them into the County’s evaluating efforts too.
The Board then voted for their number three
choice, and Mr. McMillan reported as follows:
Commissioners Maloy, Morris, Henley, and Van Der Weide voted for The
Scott Partnership Architecture, Inc.
Commissioner McLain voted for Borrelli & Associates Architects Planners,
P.A.
Mr. McMillan stated the ranking as voted
for #1 is Burke Bales & Mills Associates, Inc.; #2 is VOA Associates, Inc.;
and #3 is The Scott Partnership Architecture, Inc.

ranking of the firms as voted upon for PS-5118-02/BJC, Architectural and
Engineering Services for the Seminole County Convention Center, and authorize
staff to negotiate the Agreement, as shown on page _______, with the top ranked
firm or with the second firm if negotiations with the top ranked firm fail.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

Suzy
Goldman, Library & Leisure Services Director, addressed the Board to
request direction on the proposed project, Eugene “Stetson” Gregory Law
Enforcement Memorial Park, including funding sources and the role of County
staff. She said County staff has worked
with Chief Fleming, George Sellery, and Deputy Moderson of the Sheriff’s Office
to determine the feasibility of the project.
She said the site is best suited for a low impact, low intensity
activities during daylight hours. She
reviewed Phase 1. She stated staff
recommends a community meeting be held to discuss the conceptual design with
the residents. She advised the
Sheriff’s Office has raised $67,000 cash and has commitments for donated
materials and services for a value over $400,000. She recommended $100,000 for construction contingency. She asked for direction on how the Board
would like to handle the construction management. She proposed a team approach of the Sheriff and BCC staff from
Parks leading this effort and managing the park. She explained that any expenditure of the BCC would require
sign-off of the Library and Leisure Services Director.
Ms.
Goldman stated the land has to be turned over to the County officially. Staff has a commitment letter from the
owner. She stated there may be a
six-month time period for Phase 1.
Commissioner
Morris commended the Sheriff’s Office and community for their efforts.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he has been briefed by the Sheriff’s Office and County
staff and he thinks they have covered the bases well. He thinks this is something they can all be proud of. He acknowledged Deputy Moderson, who put in
a tremendous amount of leg work in raising these funds.
Chairman McLain stated he would like to make sure
the County provides whatever revenues so the Sheriff and community know the BCC
is behind them and are supportive.
Commissioner
Henley stated he thinks under the circumstances, this is a very difficult piece
of land to work with. He thinks staff
has done about as good as can be done with the property. He asked where the additional parking would
be located. Whereupon, Ms. Goldman had
staff to show the location on the map.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Maloy, Ms. Goldman said the boardwalks would be
designed so the park would be accessible during high water.
Deputy
Moderson addressed the Board briefly to explain what mobile pavilions are. He thanked the community, Commissioners,
Sheriff Eslinger, Jim Atwell, resident and donor; Debbie Smith, donor; and
Immogene Yarborough, project supporter; and Linda Gregory and Scott Herlipska
(phonetic) from Jacobs Engineering.
Motion
by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to approve
Phase 1 recommendation by staff with the cooperative effort of management
between Parks & Recreation and the Sheriff’s Office; and authorize up to
$100,000 of reserve funds for the project and concurrent with this motion is
approvals of all regulatory authorities in engineering and
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

Meloney
Lung, Manager, addressed the Board to request direction on the disposition of
the vacant land where the FPL building was located prior to demolition.
Ms.
Lung stated the building was demolished on June 13, 2002. She reviewed the three options.
Mr.
Grace said staff doesn’t have a preference, but the County is still in need of
materials storage.
Chairman
McLain said he feels comfortable with negotiating with the City. He knows the City has now more than one
quality developer interested in developing some condominiums on the lakefront. Now that they have found out what the actual
cost is, they are in a better position to negotiate a land swap.
Motion
by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Morris, to authorize
staff to enter negotiations with the City of Sanford to exchange the vacant
parcel for a lease with the Orlando-Sanford Airport Authority which would house
the Public Works materials storage yard.
Commissioner
Henley asked if the site has been identified to negotiate and how many acres is
it. He said he won’t be supporting the
motion due to it not being a clean exchange.
He thinks it would be in the best interest of the County to hold onto
that land because it is only going to appreciate and, at some later date, they
can turn it over.
Chairman
McLain said he thinks the Board will be in a better position to understand what
they are dealing with once the negotiations are brought back to them.
Commissioner
Morris said the City of Sanford needs to know whether the County is entering
into negotiations, and that is why he will support the motion.
Chairman
McLain stated he thinks working with the City, they will come up with a
reasonable, acceptable agreement.
Commissioner
Morris said he thinks that there is also a real probability and if they don’t
have a deal with Sanford, they will be back again discussing this.
Districts
1, 2, 3, and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner
Henley voted NAY.
Commissioner
Maloy said he understands that a lot of the Sanford area is served by the
materials storage site in Oviedo. It
would be nice to have a site closer. He
said it would be better to have a clean swap, but because of the FAA, the
County is not allowed to own it. This
would improve efficiency and get trips off 419 going to Oviedo. He said if in the meantime they find a
better deal, he hopes the staff will bring that to the Board.
Under
further discussion, Mr. Grace said he will clarify in the negotiations for a
lease of more than 20 years.
-------
Motion
by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Morris, to approve the
automatic extension on the existing agreement with Shutts and Bowen for
legislative services with Brantley and Associates.

Commissioner
Morris commended Mr. Brantley for doing a good job for the County. Mr. Brantley thanked the Board very much.

Deborah
Leigh, Code Enforcement, requested Board action regarding Code Enforcement
Board lien; property located on Hughey Street, Lots 1, 2 and 3,
Lockharts Subdivision, Sanford; Dorothy A. Wilder, Respondent, Charlie &
Annie Collier and James Alexander Jr., owners.
Ms. Leigh
recommended Option B for approval to reduce the lien to the amount of
$1,050.
Al Cummings, representing Ms. Wilder, addressed the Board state he has a letter (received and filed) giving him power of attorney to represent Ms. Wilder. He explained he has not met Ms. Wilder personally but was trying to help the respondents through this situation. He gave the details of the case. He stated Ms. Wilder was not aware that after having first had the property cleaned that she had to go back and contact the County to know that the property was in compliance. He said Ms. Wilder lives in Tampa and her husband has Alzheimer’s. Mr. Cummings said he asked why would the County allow the lien to accumulate to $136,000 with the value of the property only around $12,000. He stated staff explained they don’t have the manpower to go check to make sure everyone is in compliance, but that is up to the taxpayer and owner to do so. He said Ms. Wilder admits she was negligent with that, but after having cleaned the property, she felt she was in compliance. Mr. Cummings asked the County to rescind the entire amount of the lien.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Cummings advised that the Colliers bought the property without doing a title search and did not know there was a lien on it. Whereupon, Commissioner Morris stated the respondent and owners had a protracted period of time; it took over six years.
Chairman
McLain stated he thinks if the Board goes with the staff recommendation, that
is more than lenient.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Henley, to approve the staff recommendation for Option B, approving a reduction of the Code Enforcement Board lien to the amount of $1,050 for Case Number 94-46-CEB on the property located on Hughey Street, Lots 1, 2 & 3, Block 1, First Addition to Lockharts Subdivision; and upon payment in full, authorize the Chairman to execute the Satisfaction of lien, as shown on page _______.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
County Manager’s Briefing
Cindy
Hall, Fiscal Services Director, addressed the Board to request direction
regarding the tax rate for the Communications Services Tax.
Motion
by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Henley, to approve
Option II, reducing the tax rate to 5%, to equal the previous cable TV utility
rate.
Under
discussion, Commissioner Maloy stated he would prefer to go back to a hold
harmless rate and make it a revenue mutual tax. He thinks going down to 5% is peanuts.
Districts
3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioners
Maloy and Morris voted NAY.
Commissioner
Morris said he prefers Option III. He
said the Board needs to understand that the State mandated this proposal.
Chairman
McLain said he would like to see the Board revisit this as an ad valorem
cut. He would like them to look at ad
valorem next summer when they have the two-year budget and take this into
consideration.
Motion
by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Morris, to authorize
staff to advertise and schedule a public hearing on August 27, 2002, to
consider the change in the Communications Services tax rate.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Alice
Gilmartin, Planning, addressed the Board to provide information evaluating the
need for regulating newsracks and receive direction relative to its
implementation.
Ms.
Gilmartin showed a slide of a proposed newsrack.
Motion by Commissioner Maloy, seconded by Commissioner Morris, to direct staff to come back with a recommendation for the following criteria as given in the staff report: (1) The number of boxes grouped together; (2) Shape, size, color and design; (3) Placement and location. Should they be allowed within the road right-of-way, only on private property, within the confines of the store front or prohibited in certain locations?; (4) Distance between newsracks; (5) Type of material placed in the newsracks such as adult entertainment related material; and (6) Maintenance and installation.
Under discussion, Commissioner Morris asked that the distance between racks reflect comments by Commissioner Maloy and the BCC’s discussion. He said to look at specific locations rather than distances between them.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
Ms. Gilmartin showed the Board a slide of what the newsracks are beginning to look like, noting that they are very high tech. She advised the current contract does not address newsracks.

The
Board recessed the meeting at 11:43 a.m., reconvening at 1:30 p.m., with all
Commissioners (with Commissioner Van Der Weide entering late) and all other

APPEAL AGAINST THE BOA,
Continuation
of a public hearing to consider an Appeal against the Board of Adjustment in
denying request for a lot size variance from 11,700 square feet to 7,020 square
feet and lot width variance from 90 feet to 65 feet for property located at
1135 Virginia Avenue, on the east side of Virginia Avenue, approximately 680
feet south of North Street, west of Palm Springs Drive, as described in the
proof of publication, Nora N. Martinez.
Planning Manager, Matt West, addressed the Board to advise the applicant has requested another continuance.
County Manager, Kevin Grace, advised that last Tuesday correspondence from Ms. Martinez’s attorney was received submitting a public records request. He said the staff was unable to provide that information by Friday and so they are requesting a continuance.
Planning & Development Director, Don Fisher, addressed the Board to state he spoke with Ms. Martinez’s counsel advising him that the Board had indicated they would be continuing this item. Therefore, he said he would not be in attendance at this afternoon’s meeting.
District Commissioner Henley stated he feels this item needs to be continued. He said he does not believe the applicant is receiving any special consideration and feels it is important to honor the request to continue.
Motion
by Commissioner Henley, seconded by Commissioner Morris to continue until
September 10, 2002 at 1:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as possible,
consideration of Appeal against the Board of Adjustment in denying request for
a lot size variance from 11,700 square feet to 7,020 square feet and lot width
variance from 90 feet to 65 feet for property located at 1135 Virginia Avenue,
on the east side of Virginia Avenue, approximately 680 feet south of North
Street, west of Palm Springs Drive, as described in the proof of publication,
Nora N. Martinez.
Under discussion and upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Fisher advised the public records request is asking for the history of variances granted in the past.
Bernard & Nancy Huguenot, 1138 Virginia Avenue, addressed the Board to state the applicant was given a continuance the last time because she was not prepared and now she is requesting another one. They feel the applicant has had plenty of time to prepare her case.
Miriam Oestricher, 1131 Virginia Avenue, addressed the Board to speak against the continuance.
Commissioner Morris explained the applicant is now being represented by counsel and the Board wants to make sure she has a fair hearing.
Jose Santiago, 1133 Virginia Avenue, addressed the Board to state he understands that everyone is entitled to a fair hearing; but this is a case of a person wanting to do something that is completely out of range.
Chairman McLain read written comments from Jean Long and Barbara Younker in opposition to the continuance.
Gino Ratti, 1140 Virginia Avenue, addressed the Board to complain that he lives only 70 feet away from the property in question and he was not notified of any of the hearings. He also stated that he has requested a copy of the zoning regulations and never received it.
Mr. Fisher advised that staff is only required to notify the adjacent property owners on variances and he said he will make sure Mr. Ratti receives the information he is requesting.
Commissioner Maloy stated even though the Board has historically granted continuances for the first and second times, they have stated that they are not usually interested in continuing hearings more than that.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
REQUEST TO VACATE &
ABANDON,
KENNETH W. WRIGHT/COLONIAL
REALTY LTD.
Proof
of publication, as shown on page _______, requesting a vacate and abandonment
of the Plat of Island Lake Park located within the property that comprises
Phase II of the Colonial Grande Apartments; approximately half-way between Lake
Mary Boulevard and CR 46A on the west side of the Heathrow International
Business Center, Kenneth W. Wright, representing Colonial Realty Limited
Partnership, received and filed.
Shannon Suffron, Development Review, addressed the Board to present the request, advising staff recommends approval of the vacate. She stated the plat is located within property that comprises Phase II of the Colonial Grande Apartments. The Colonial Grande Apartment Complex is located approximately halfway between Lake Mary Boulevard and CR 46A on the west side of the Heathrow International Business Center. The Island Lake Park plat was originally recorded in 1955 and consists of 8 lots and a remnant unimproved right-of-way named Island Lake Drive. The plat consists of one home, which will be demolished with the construction of Phase II. The plat is no longer necessary since the ownership of the property encompassing the plat has been incorporated into the ownership of the apartment project.
Attorney Meredith Harper, representing the applicant, addressed the Board to state she has noticed that there are residents in the audience and she believes their concern is dealing with the well site and the gate along the south end, which was discussed at the last meeting. She said she has been working with staff and it appears they have come up with justification for the gate; however, that will be brought back before the Board at a later date.
Cindy Crain, 820 Banana Lake Road, addressed the Board to read into the Record a letter (copy was received & filed) from her in opposition to the well site in the buffer and retention pond area on the north side of Phase II. She stated that she has consulted a Geotechnical Engineer with Universal Engineering Sciences and he has advised against the proposed well. She said she has also talked to the St. Johns River Water Management District and they have indicated that the proposed well would be a serious drain on the available water and sinkholes could occur.
Dennis Westrick, Engineering Division Manager of Environmental Services, addressed the Board to advise the department has been looking to obtain a well site as part of the Colonial Grand development. He said currently the property in question is only a proposed site and there is no guarantee that a well will be drilled on the site. He explained that initially a test well will be drilled and the data will be evaluated. The well will be 12 to 16 inches in diameter and 500 feet deep. He added that it would have to be permitted through St. Johns River Water Management District, which provides for a hearing and the County, proving through testing, that hydraulically the well will have no impact on the adjacent area.
The Chairman stated this public hearing does not have anything to do with the gate or well site; it is consideration of vacating a plat. He said that it is clear the residents are concerned with the possible well site and staff needs to keep them in the loop as far as any process in moving forward with the site. He requested the residents be notified if the County files for any application for the well.
Ms. Crain stated her contention is that if the well is not at that site, the gate is not needed.
Wendell Springfield, 770 Banana Lake Road, addressed the Board to submit for the Record a letter from him in opposition to the installation of the gate proposed in the wall separating property owners on Banana Lake Road from Colonial Grande Apartments.
Elissa Mackintosh, 864 Banana Lake Road, addressed the Board to state she has lived on Banana Lake Road since 1999 and since that time there have been endless issues of development in the area. She said they were told that there would be a solid wall in order to maintain the character of the road. She added that she would like to be kept in the loop.
No one else spoke in support or in opposition.
Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Maloy to adopt appropriate Resolution #2002-R-129, as shown on page _______, vacating the plat of Island Lake Park located within the property that comprises Phase II of the Colonial Grande Apartments; approximately half-way between Lake Mary Boulevard and CR 46A on the west side of the Heathrow International Business Center, as described in the proof of publication, Kenneth W.

Proof of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to consider an Ordinance Amending the Road Impact Fee Chapter 120 of the Land Development Code, received and filed.
Pam Hastings, Public Works Administration, addressed the Board to present the request.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Ms. Hastings advised she believes that staff recommendation to extend the date to 2005 for the northern quadrant collector road is sound.
Commissioner Morris stated he has been contacted by several members of the development community who have asked the sunset date be continued. He stated that the City of Lake Mary is doing a new downtown plan and rerouting the traffic could involve heavy expenditures. He said traffic signalization and sidewalks are not included in this.
County Engineer, Jerry McCollum, addressed the Board to advise the signalization and sidewalks should be covered in the second generation assessment. He clarified that if a road is being upgraded, those things would not be included.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. McMillan advised if the 2005 date is too far and there is no justification for it, the Board can come back and end it early.
Chairman McLain stated he believes the prudent thing to do is to move forward with the amendment and if the Board needs to sunset it earlier, they can come back to do so.
Commissioner Henley stated he would support the Chairman, but would want staff to continue to monitor this to see if it needs to be ended earlier.
No one spoke in support or in opposition.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to authorize extending the North Collector sunset date from December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2005; and to direct that the application of funds may be used from the discretionary fund for things such as sidewalks and traffic signalization, for those projects not currently contemplated.
