-------

     Jerry McCollum, County Engineer, addressed the Board to state the SR 15/600 (U.S. 17-92) Project (from Shepard Road to Lake Mary Boulevard) is one that came out of the second generation sales tax.  It is fully funded at this time through the DOT work program. 

     Lynne Whatley, Project Manager, Carter & Burgess, along with Eric Wooley, Lead Engineer, addressed the Board to give a presentation of the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study.  Ms. Whatley expressed her thanks to Mr. McCollum and staff.  She said DOT is conducting the PD&E study through Seminole County.  They are proposing to widen the road from four to six lanes.  She said additional information is given in the agenda packets.

     Mr. Wooley addressed the Board to state that currently, the road is a four-lane rural section.  The proposed typical section will be fully urbanized with curb and gutter, and will be a six-lane roadway.  He described the project and said the landscaping aspects have yet to be worked out.  He stated access management has been worked out with DOT.  This has been brought to the local municipalities and is not concrete and is subject to change.  The roadway will require no additional right-of-way.  There will be off-site drainage systems.

     Ms. Whatley stated the only additional right-of-way required will be for the off-site stormwater.  All the potential sites have been located.  The only other environmental issue of concern could be the noise.  She said this study is underway now.  She said they have discussed with the residents of the Spring Hammock Trailer Park if a wall is feasible for noise abatement.  She advised a public workshop will be held on October 5, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Seminole County Extension Auditorium.

     Commissioner Carey asked if the areas for bus stops would be covered.  Ms. Whatley stated that is yet to be determined with Lynx.

     Chairman Henley stated he will be working with Lynx on that.

     Commissioner Van Der Weide said every time they do something with 17-92, there are property owners and business owners who can’t update their areas.  He asked if the State officials have changed their opinion about having a community retention pond.

     Ms. Whatley stated that so far they have identified a potential pond site per every basin.  She said during final design they may be able to do a regional pond.

     Whereupon, Commissioner Van Der Weide said he thinks it would be very worthwhile if the County staff would see if there is something they can work out to address these issues.

     Mr. McCollum stated this is a very preliminary stage.  They do have areas where they do a total take, and they will push with the Department of Transportation to pick up any local property adjacent to that for retention.  He said staff is coordinating with the CRA and trying to present a similar look as to what they are doing on 17-92 from Lake-of-the-Woods south to Maitland Boulevard.

     Commissioner Van Der Weide said he thinks this would be the opportunity to address some of those issues.

     Commissioner Morris stated he is concerned they have held the line firmly on the regional partners.  He said the schedule concerns him with the construction not beginning until the middle of Year 2010.

     Mr. McCollum said that is the current DOT work program.  This project is in the current five-year work program.  Commissioner Morris said it concerns him that the project is still five years out.  He said the DOT schedule doesn’t make sense, and he asked why not accelerate it.

     Mr. McCollum stated staff has been working with DOT to accelerate the schedule; and at every opportunity, they will push it.

     Commissioner Morris stated they have a technical committee to resolve a lot of the issues, but this needs to be a public issue.  He said he thought they were going to construction in Year 2008 initially.  He stated this is an alternative corridor to I-4 when it closes down. 

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Ms. Whatley answered what will happen to General Hutchison intersection under this plan to go to six lanes.  Mr. McCollum answered that the accident rate along that part of 17-92 is no different than any other.

     Commissioner Morris said he wants to make sure they are cautious on clear cutting if they should turn the intersection into a T-intersection.  Mr. McCollum said his staff has been working with Colleen Rotella, Community Resources, on that.

     Ms. Whatley stated that they will make sure they impact as little of the wetlands as possible in that area.

     Mr. Wooley advised Commissioner Morris that the median would go from 30 feet to 21 feet.

     Commissioner Morris stated the Board was told the shelters on 17-92 would go in 2007/08 and now they won’t go in until 2012.  He said some of the stops don’t even have a bench.  He further said they may need to have a temporary solution since this is a moving target.  He asked if this could be brought back to the Board.

     Mr. McCollum said staff will meet with Lynx to get something temporarily resolved.

     Commissioner Carey said the company needs to get that done before the road is done.

     Tony Walter, Planning Manager, addressed the Board to advise that one shelter will be put in front of the courthouse and two shelters will be placed in front of Flea World.  Also, staff is looking at placing another shelter in front of Five Points.

     Commissioner Carey said another critical location is in front of Lake Katherine Estates where there are a lot of senior citizens.  Mr. Walter said staff will check that location.

     Commissioner Morris said at a minimum, if they could do some leveling and put in a bench and a garbage can, that would be nice.

     Chairman Henley asked staff to let him know what type response they get from Lynx.

-------

     Chairman Henley advised that Item #6, Driver’s Education Pilot Program Presentation (Raymond Gaines; Executive Director, SCPS, High School Program; Mary Lane, Curriculum Specialist, SCPS; Robin Butler, Traffic Safety Engineering) has been pulled at the request of the Driver Education Executive Director as they were not able to be in attendance today.  This will be taken up at the next meeting.

County Manager’s Consent Agenda

 

     Cindy Coto, County Manager, advised that staff is recommending pulling Item #17, Grant Applications to FRDAP, and addressing it with Item #49.  Also, staff is requesting that Item #24, RFP-600062-06/BJC Term Contract, be pulled for further evaluation.  She said the Board may see this item on a future agenda.  Further, she said Item #30, Oviedo JPA, is pulled for a separate discussion.  She stated that April Boswell, Assistant Planning Manager, needs to provide some language clarification to the Board as it relates to Exhibit B of the Joint Planning Agreement.

     Mr. Medley explained this is the first step.  The Task Force is to get things ready for the potential establishment of a full-fledge advisory committee under the direction of the BCC.

     Chairman Henley said he thinks after they get Board action, staff will be able to refine and lay out the specifics for each group and what the Board expects to be accomplished by them. 

     Commissioner Dallari said he would like to see a different time line and what the Board can expect.

     Chairman Henley said Mr. Medley may also want to approach Leadership Seminole as there might be some who will be interested in working with him regarding this effort.

     Mr. Medley stated he will report back to the Board more frequently than just the final report.  He said staff can come back at any point and update the Board on the action plan and steps that need to be taken with the action plan.  He added that he hopes to come back to the Board by the end of this calendar year.

     Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to adopt appropriate Resolution #2006-R-203, as shown on page _______, to enact the Communities for a Lifetime initiative and authorize the Community Services Department to develop, organize and support an independent Task Force on Aging to create an inventory of services and opportunities; and to report findings to the Board. 

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

     David Gregory, Solid Waste Management, addressed the Board to present request to schedule and advertise a public hearing to amend Chapter 235 of the Seminole County Code to require firms applying for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (COPCN) to collect waste to provide proof of insurance at County required levels. 

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to authorize scheduling and advertising a public hearing to amend Chapter 235 of the Seminole County Code to require firms applying for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (COPCN) to collect waste to provide proof of insurance at County required levels.

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

     Chairman Henley recessed the meeting at 10:26 a.m. and reconvened it at 10:36 a.m.

-------

     John Cirello, Environmental Services Director, addressed the Board to request adoption of the recommended initial Water, Sewer and Reclaimed Water Utility Rates with implementation on bills rendered as of January 1, 2007; adoption of annual rate indexing strategy to be effective each January 1.  Indexing would apply to Water, Sewer and Reclaimed Water charges as well as Water and Sewer Connection Fees; and adoption of Water, Sewer and Reclaimed Water upset rate limit applying to adjustments necessary during the 2008 through 2011 fiscal years, granting authority to implement to the County Manager.  He gave a PowerPoint presentation (copies received and filed) of the Five Year Capital Improvement Program covering the topics of Capital Improvement to Water, Wastewater and Reclaim Water Systems, Bonding for the Five Year CIP, and Rates.

     Bob Briggs, Environmental Services, addressed the Board to continue the presentation, covering the Financing and Rates. 

     Commissioner Morris asked if Ms. Coto would annually report on the rate increases or would that go in the budget for approval.  Ms. Coto stated she would annually report it as part of the budget process and the rates won’t go into place until the budget is approved.

     Commissioner Van Der Weide referred to the Monthly Bill Comparison chart and said it is impressive for the taxpayers that Seminole County has retained such a low rate (lower than Orange and Volusia counties and the majority of the cities).  

     Commissioner Morris complemented Mr. Cirello and staff on the excellent work in laying this out and laying out the needs.  He said they have tackled the core infrastructure issues, but are not tackling the reuse issue as much as he would prefer.

     Chairman Henley said he thinks they also need to consider partnering with some of the other municipalities to provide reclaim into the County areas.

     Commissioner Carey said she thinks those discussions are going on with the cities, the County and the Water Resource Committee.  She thinks what is important that is now being done is the requirement for these subdivisions to dry line for the future in anticipation that reuse would become available.  The other thing is that the second bond issue could potentially go down and that is the top side of it.

     Upon inquiry by Chairman Henley, Mr. Cirello said he expects the majority of this to get done, at least 90 to 95%, in the five years.

     Chairman Henley said he hopes they expedite getting it properly done.

     Commissioner Dallari said expediting this project is crucial.  He said he is concerned with the procurement process and streamlining that.

     Whereupon, Mr. Cirello stated he has met with the procurement staff and they are aware.

     Commissioner Dallari said he wants to make sure they expedite this as soon as possible, as well as the procedural update book on the progress so the Board and staff can review it.

     Ms. Coto stated she has had a number of discussions with Mr. Hooper, Ms. Spriggs and Janet Davis in looking at a complete restructuring to address this and with that, she does not anticipate any problem with procurement.

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide about the dry lines, Mr. Cirello said they are looking at 20 to 30 years as the life expectancy of the materials. 

     Commissioner Carey said the line could be charged with potable water and at the time reclaim becomes available, they could be switched out.

     Mr. Cirello said there are 73 major projects for the funds to build, and some of these are ready to go out in the near future. 

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Cirello said they will be looking at going into the Greenwood Lakes neighborhood as a future reclaim water project.

     Mr. Briggs reviewed the final topic on Inflationary Comparisons, 1996 to 2006.

     Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to adopt the recommended initial water, sewer and reclaimed water utility rates with implementation on bills rendered as of January 1, 2007; adopt annual rate indexing strategy to be effective each January 1, as clarified through the budget process; and adopt water, sewer, and reclaimed water upset rate limit applying to adjustments necessary during the 2008 through 2011 fiscal years, granting authority to implement to the County Manager, as clarified.

     Under discussion, Chairman Henley said he personally was not in favor of transferring authority for implementation to the County Manager, but in light of the fact it will require Board approval through the budget process, he can live with that.  With that understanding of the intent, he said he can support the indexing.

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

-------

     Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to adopt Water and Sewer System Reimbursement Resolution #2006-R-204, as shown on page _______, allowing reimbursement of certain costs related to the acquisition and construction of various capital improvements to the County’s water and sewer system from the future issuance of tax-exempt debt. 

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

-------

     Suzy Goldman, Director of Library & Leisure Services, addressed the Board to request approval of a phased boat ramp improvement program funded by Florida Boating Improvement Fund revenue supplemented by the General Fund.  Ms. Goldman said she is requesting approval of the ranking as well as the funding plan.

     Chairman Henley asked if Ms. Goldman is asking the Board to commit for $347,820.  She said that amount would be considered on a year-to-year basis.  Staff will come forward on an annual basis and ask for a subsidy.  Whereupon, Chairman Henley stated he understands the Board will set the priorities and then handle the cost annually.

     Ms. Goldman explained the $347,820 does not include operating costs and they can look at $20,000 to $25,000 at the most for that.  She said staff did not discuss maintenance of the water systems, but she thinks that should not exceed $30,000 per year for each site.  She explained to Chairman Henley that the table showing costs for restroom construction and other improvements includes irrigation.

     Commissioner Carey said one concern is the number of parking spaces that will be lost to put in the restrooms and, secondly, that the operation maintenance costs have not been rolled into the cost.  She said she is not sure they need to landscape the restrooms.  She said she thinks the Board needs to know what all this is going to cost.

     Ms. Goldman advised the cost given is based upon the engineering study so it includes wells to the sites instead of running potable water.

     Commissioner Morris said he thinks potable water is the appropriate thing.

     Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Morris, to approve the phased boat ramp improvement program funded by Florida Boating Improvement Fund revenue supplemented by the General Fund, with the cautions about the landscaping and also with the opportunity for the Board to review the program annually.

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

     Tina Williamson, Principal Coordinator, addressed the Board to present the request for approval of the Final Site Plan and Developer’s Commitment Agreement for the South Bank PCD, consisting of 0.83+/- acres located on the northwest corner of the intersection of E. Lake Brantley Drive and SR 434, subject to waivers as specified in the staff report recommendations.  She advised staff finds the waivers are not contrary to the public’s interest and do not negatively affect anything; therefore, staff is recommending approval of the Final Site Plan and Developer’s Commitment Agreement.

     Hugh Harling, Harling Locklin & Associates, addressed the Board to state he concurs with the staff.

     Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to approve the Final Site Plan and Developer’s Commitment Agreement, as shown on page _______, for the South Bank PCD, consisting of 0.83+/- acres located on the northwest corner of the intersection of E. Lake Brantley Drive and SR 434, subject to waivers as specified in the staff report recommendations; and authorize the Chairman to execute the documents, based on staff findings.

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

-------

     DCM Don Fisher addressed the Board to present request for adoption of the Resolution placing on the November 7, 2006 ballot a Referendum to determine if voters would authorize the designation of levy 2/10THS levy of one mill for a period of 10 years where a minimum of 50% of said levy will be applied to the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of environmentally sensitive lands and the remaining levy be applied to the development, operation, and maintenance of trails/pedestrian bridges.  Mr. Fisher advised he had clarified that the minimum 50% of the funds be dedicated towards natural lands and that aquifer recharge properties be included.  He pointed out the clarification pertaining to the trails.  He said acquiring trail corridors is part of this resolution.  One thing different pertains to operation and maintenance.  He said the staff came to the conclusion that if they set aside this new proposal for dedicated millage, the County is obligated for both the existing natural lands and trails program.  They would be looking at $700,000 annually to maintain them.  The additional would be $250,000.  With the trails program, that would be $1.1 million annually.  That would be $400,000 per yea for the additional.  Mr. Fisher said if the Board decides not to include operation and maintenance, that can be removed from the resolution. 

     Commissioner Morris stated the real issue is they are not doing debt issuance and are paying to leverage the money.  He said maintenance money can’t be leveraged.  He said he would support moving maintenance services from the resolution.

     Commissioner Dallari agreed with Commissioner Morris, stating this is for natural lands and not for maintenance. 

     Commissioner Carey said she concurs with that also.  She said Mr. Fisher needs to clarify the language that this would be for acquisition on the trails side, because to the consumer, it is not clear that the Board is acquiring additional corridors for additional trails.  This is on the referendum language itself.

     Whereupon, Chairman Henley directed Mr. Fisher to strike the words, “operation” and “maintenance” from the resolution.

     Commissioner Carey said she thinks they should allow staff to work on the language and come back this afternoon to make it clear.  She said she had some other language changes for Mr. Fisher to clarify.

     Chairman Henley stated the Board will defer this item for action later this afternoon to allow staff time to work on the ballot language.

     Commissioner Dallari stated he would like to see the 50% moved to 60% minimum purchase for natural lands.

     Commissioner Morris said they have two issues.  They don’t know what lands would become available.  He said “not less than” is a more clear term than “minimum.”  The other thing is they don’t know in terms of private and public partners to the extent where they want to go. 

     Commissioner Morris suggested additional wording to define trails as recreational trails. 

     Commissioner Carey said she thinks they have the most flexibility with the wording, “minimum,” or “not less than 50%.”

     Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he did not see in the language that recharge areas should be included.  Mr. Fisher stated there is nothing included in the current ordinance that currently prohibits high aquifer recharge lands.  Staff has added “whereas” clauses that could be used for that purpose.

     Commissioner Dallari asked about the public information plan.  He stated he would like to see how the Soil and Water Conservation Board can work with the County.

     Mr. Fisher stated staff is developing that program.  He said staff has been talking to the Soil and Water Conservation Board and they have indicated a willingness to assist with the information program.  They know there will be other groups to be brought to the staff’s attention.

     Commissioner Dallari added the Sierra Club also.

     Commissioner Carey asked if the Board thought there is merit in having one board rather than two.  Chairman Henley asked her to defer that discussion until later.

     There were no objections by the Board to deferring action for the language to be rewritten.

County Manager’s Briefing

 

     Gary Johnson, Director of Public Works, addressed the Board to give a presentation on the Lake Management Program, which is included in the proposed FY 2006/07 budget.  He said $600,000 would be included in the budget and staff expects to recover about $200,000.

     Commissioner Van Der Weide left the meeting at this time.

     Commissioner Carey said she thinks having a program like this would encourage the citizens living on those lakes to help participate in the process, because they have to deal with the issue regardless.  She thinks this is an important program.

     Commissioner Dallari affirmed with Mr. Johnson that the municipalities understand that if they don’t participate, they won’t be receiving credit.

     Commissioner Morris said there has been remarkable cooperation with the municipalities on this.

-------

     Commissioner Van Der Weide re-entered the meeting at this time.

-------

     Ms. Goldman introduced PBS&J Consultants, John Hornbeck, Abram Horn and David Larsen for presentation of the estimated costs and schedules for the development of the Jetta Point property and the redevelopment of Soldiers Creek Park.  Mr. Larsen gave a PowerPoint presentation (copy received and filed) of the topics, Preliminary Engineering, Jetta Point, Soldier’s Creek, Estimated Project Costs, and Tentative Schedule.

     Commissioner Dallari asked what is the status with the city of Winter Springs and Jetta Point.

     Avra, Horne, representative for PBS&J, addressed the Board to state she made two applications with Oviedo and Winter Springs.  She requested a continuance to a date certain to continue discussions with staff.  She discussed what the issue was with the city of Winter Springs.  She understands that the city wants the park; they find the proposed layout generally acceptable, but they want to review it.  They have more of a land use issue.  She advised the time table identified is about four months.

     Ms. Goldman noted it would be four additional months if they have to take forward the Comp Plan amendment.

     Ms. Coto advised she did discuss the site plan submitted by the County with the City Manager McLemore about seven to ten days.  Some of the concerns expressed relate to the multi-purpose fields on the north side of the site adjacent to the 17 property owners.  They are looking for some reconfiguration for more distance between those fields.  Property owners to the west were concerned about the fields being lit.  The City would like to have the other area mentioned with the destination playground on the north part relocated so it is adjacent to the residential area versus the northeast portion of the site.

     Commissioner Morris said he thinks the land now is probably worth $10 million to $12 million.  This is a $20 million gift to the Winter Springs community.  His understanding is they would like to do some type of interlocal agreement on what they would consider mitigation of certain aspects of the park.  He said he thinks this a great plan.  The Board and staff have worked hard on it.  Also, the land use issue can be easily reconciled according to Mr. Fisher.  He said the proposal by the City doesn’t make sense.  There are 17 or 18 items to be changed.  He said the County tried to work very closely with the City and asked the City to work with them on this.  He said he doesn’t understand about doing an interlocal agreement.  He said if they can’t reach agreement, then he recommends not going forward with the project and sell the land and go somewhere where they are wanted.

     Chairman Henley concurred.  He said the changes the City is requesting would almost render the project worthless.  He said he asked the County Manager yesterday to begin looking at other sites with the intention of selling this land.  He said if the City can’t recognize the value of this, he doesn’t think they need to waste any more time on it.  He does think it is crucial that they make the right decision now as a Board.  He said the lighting can be taken care of by technology.

     Commissioner Carey stated if this was a commercial development, it would have lights more imposing on the residents.  She thinks Post Buckley made some great strides in the plan.  She agrees with everything that has been said today.  She said this would be a very popular piece of commercial property on State Road 417.  She would like to see the Board move forward or take it off the table, especially since the budget has doubled.

     Commissioner Van Der Weide stated if the County can convince the City, what they should be doing is getting a special use permit.  He thinks they have come up with a design that is super.  He hopes they don’t get into issues with the city of Oviedo.  He said they have so much invested and are so close.  He agrees they can’t wait forever, and this project makes sense.

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Ms. Coto stated she is not aware of any issues from Oviedo.  She said the conference call with the City and Mr. McMillan did not take place.  She hopes this week to have word from the City Attorney about dealing with the PUD and they will be able to proceed forward.

     Commissioner Carey stated they are tying up two parks and that is unfair to the community.  She said the whole plan for Soldiers Creek would change. 

     Chairman Henley stated the program would go on as it is now until they could do more.

     Commissioner Morris inquired about delaying the presentation to the city of Winter Springs.

     Chairman Henley said maybe they need to call a joint meeting of the City Commission and have staff make a direct presentation.  He said he would prefer that.  Discussion ensued.

     Mr. Fisher explained the hearing process in Winter Springs.  He said he is trying to get the City Commission to modify their Land Development Code that says a recreational park is allowed in a commercial use.  They could change that in four to six weeks.  Staff is waiting to hear back from their counsel.  He advised Commissioner Morris that, knowing where they are today, he thinks a presentation with the City officials would be beneficial to show them that adding public recreation to their code would be a good idea.

     Commissioner Morris said he would be happy to attend any such meeting with the appropriate consultants.

     Commissioner Carey said, hopefully, they can get on the Winter Springs agenda for their next meeting.

     Ms. Coto said if staff is successful, they will be able to bring back to the BCC some indication of how they will move forward.

     Mr. McMillan reported he and Mr. Fisher were to talk to Mr. Garganese (Winter Springs City Attorney) yesterday.  He doesn’t know what happened at the City Commission meeting last night, but he and Mr. Fisher will continue to try to have their meeting with Mr. Garganese and hopefully get some agreement on how to proceed.

     Chairman Henley said the BCC will make the effort to get on the City’s agenda.

-------

     Chairman Henley said the Board would defer action on Item #17 until later; however, Ms. Goldman advised the deadline is Friday for submission of the grants.

     Therefore, Ms. Coto said considering the deadline, she would want to go forward with the grants.

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to approve submission of two grant applications to the Florida Recreational Development Assistance Program (FRDAP) for the development of Jetta Point and Soldiers Creek Parks; and authorize the County Manager to execute supporting documents.

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

 

-------

 

     Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to approve authorization to proceed with the procurement process for the Civil Courthouse Renovation Project.  Under discussion, Commissioner Carey stated one of the issues is about changing the security vestibules by expanding them to the outside.  She said she doesn’t know how much structural change the Board wants to make to this building and she asked is that a function they can now take care of. 

     Scott Worley, Administrative Services, addressed the Board to state $68,000 is the cost for expanding the vestibules, and that is an option.  He said that doesn’t have to be done.

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Ms. Coto advised this action includes demolition of the Courthouse Annex.

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

-------

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to schedule and advertise Public Hearings to consider amendments to the Seminole County Land Development Code, Chapter 10 – Concurrency Management for adoption of the Proportionate Share Ordinance. 

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

 

County Attorney’s Briefing

 

     Mr. McMillan stated he had some “tweaks” on the Charter amendment regarding Clerk duties for the Board to review this afternoon.  He distributed copies (received and filed) of same to the Board.

     Mr. McMillan introduced to the BCC his new office staff member, Deputy County Attorney Guy Minter, returning to the office after 22 years.

-------

     Chairman Henley recessed the meeting at 12:05 p.m., reconvening at 1:32 p.m, with all Commissioners (with Commissioner Morris entering late) and all other Officials, with the exception of Deputy Clerk Carylon Cohen, who was replaced by Deputy Clerk Sandy McCann, who were present at the Opening Session.

APPEAL AGAINST BOA,

WELLINGTON TERRACE HOA, CONTINUED

 

     Continuation of a public hearing to consider an Appeal of the Board of Adjustment’s decision to approve a rear yard setback variance from 30 feet to 10 feet for an existing carport in the R-1AAA (Single Family Dwelling District) located at 1888 Derbyshire Road, as described in the proof of publication, Wellington Terrace Homeowners Association. 

     Planner, Ian Sikonia, addressed the Board to present the appeal, advising the BOA voted to approve the request because the location of the carport was less intrusive to the neighborhood than it would have been if it was placed within the required setbacks of a detached accessory structure.  He further advised staff recommended denial of the request because it did not meet the six criteria required for determination of a hardship; and staff is further recommending that the BCC reverse the BOA based on staff’s findings. 

     Mark Troum, 1804 Braeloch Court, addressed the Board to advise he is representing the Wellington Terrace HOA, that is in opposition to the variance.  He displayed photographs (received & filed) showing the carport and a lot map (received & filed) of the subdivision highlighting the residents (44) in opposition to the variance.  He stated there are no other structures in the subdivision that are similar to the carport that is already erected.  He further stated the house is in the process of being sold and has been in violation since 2004. 

     Chairman Henley clarified that the BCC does not enforce homeowners’ association deed restrictions or rules. 

     Steven Walesch addressed the Board to speak in opposition to the variance. 

     No one else spoke in support or in opposition. 

     Speaker Request Forms were received & filed. 

     District Commissioner Henley recommended reversing the BOA based on staff’s findings and that the variance does not meet the required criteria.

     Laura Newman, representing the developer, addressed the Board to display a proposed site plan (not received & filed) and to review same.  She stated that there has been some communication with Pulte Homes, the adjacent property developer, and they have been working with them on their concerns.  She advised Pulte Homes’ concerns were as follows:  (1) Lighting (they have agreed to put the shoebox lighting restriction back into the D.O.); (2) Sound amplification system (they have agreed to put the sound system restriction back into the D.O.); and (3) Setbacks (they are willing to go with a 50-foot setback on Lot 1A – but due to the size of the outparcels, the 50-foot setback would make them difficult to develop and they would not agree to that setback on those).  

     Cathleen Consoli, representing Pulte Home Corp., addressed the Board to discuss their concerns as outlined by Ms. Newman.  She stated they are hoping to maintain the 50-foot setbacks from the neighborhood to the north.

REQUEST FOR WEKIVA PUD MAJOR

AMENDMENT, BRIAN DAVIS

 

     Proof of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to consider the Wekiva PUD Final Master Plan and Developer’s Commitment Agreement for property consisting of 4.96 acres located at 200 Hunt Club Boulevard, Brian Davis, received and filed. 

     Principal Coordinator, Tina Williamson, presented the request, advising the amendment is to allow 4.96 acres of the golf course to become a new tract (Tract Z) and be converted from open space to 48 fee-simple townhouse units, at a density of 12.3 dwelling units per net buildable acre.  She stated that when the original PUD was approved (1976), 255.5 acres (25%) were required to be useable open space and at this time, there are 260.5 acres of common useable open space within the PUD.  Currently, the PUD is approved for 3,137 dwelling units.  Of the 3,137 units, 1,669 are approved in the Medium Density Residential category with densities ranging from 5 to 12 dwelling units per gross acre.  1,468 are approved in the Low Density Residential category with densities ranging from 2.6 to 3 dwelling units per gross acre.  As the PUD developed, some of the tracts approved for Medium Density Residential actually developed as Low Density Residential.  A total of 2,519 dwelling units have been built in the PUD; 2,016 as Low Density Residential and 503 as Medium Density Residential.  Therefore, the requested 48 townhome units do not require any increases to the approved entitlements for PUD, because there are 618 units that remain unbuilt out of the 3,137 that were initially approved.  The amendment does require that that acreage approved for Medium Density Residential be increased from 184.45 acres to 189.41 acres. 

     Ms. Williamson advised staff recommends approval of the major amendment, subject to the conditions in Addendum #15 to the Wekiva PUD Developers Commitment Agreement and the final master plan.  She reviewed the Planning & Zoning Commission recommendations as listed in the staff report. 

     Brian Davis, representing the developer, addressed the Board to state the staff has done a good job of presenting the request.  He displayed the Preliminary Site Plan (copy received & filed) for the project, stating that they will not be driving through the single-family residential homes to get to the townhomes.  He said that the site does not abut any of the single-family homes and pointed out that those homes will still have their view of the golf course.  He described the proposed townhomes, advising they will be two-story and will be similar in size and scale as other multi-family homes in the PUD.  He said they are not asking for an increase in the number of units as presented by staff.  He advised that they have met with the area residents in neighborhood meetings and there were four concerns voiced.  The first concern was of car lights pulling into the parking spaces; and they have agreed to construct a substantial berm at a minimum of four to five feet high with a large vegetative buffer for screening purposes.  The second request was for screening around the retention pond and they have agreed to put in canopy trees; and if the County emergency services allow them to, they will block off that gate.  He said they have agreed to cut off fixtures for lighting so light will not spread into the existing single-family neighborhood.  He stated the last concern was of the end units closest to the single-family homes; however, they are not willing to move or delete those units because those will be the most marketable units in the complex.  He further said they have agreed to mitigate the impact on schools at the time of final plat.  In closing, he stated they believe the project is compatible with the rest of the Wekiva community.  He displayed an artist’s rendering (not received & filed) of what the project will look like. 

     Bob Dello Russo, President of the Wekiva Golf Club, Inc., addressed the Board to advise they purchased the golf course two years ago and have put a large amount of money into it to improve it.  He said they also purchased the Deer Run Golf Course when it was a run-downed course and improved it.  He said the proposed project will not block anyone’s view of the fairway; and he would request the Board approve the amendment. 

     Ray Herod, 237 Coble Drive, addressed the Board to speak in opposition, stating this project will impact his enjoyment of his home.  He said the condos are being built in the middle of estate homes; whereas, all the other condos in the PUD were built in a cluster around Hunt Club Boulevard.   He further said the last condo building is only 215 feet from the first estate home on the 16th fairway.  He added that the design of the proposed buildings is not consistent with the rest of the Wekiva PUD.  He, therefore, asked that the Board either reject the amendment totally or at least reduce the density.  Photographs of the golf course and the area estate homes were received and filed. 

     Sally Eadie, 278 Castlerord Court, addressed the Board to speak in opposition, requesting the Board deny the request.  She expressed her concern about the excessive paving, the environment, and the springs. 

     Attorney Duke Woodson, 111 N. Orange Avenue, addressed the Board to advise he is representing the Wekiva Community Association.  He spoke in opposition, stating he disagrees with staff that the 25% open space is being met with this proposal because, in his opinion, the golf course doesn’t count.  He said this proposal is inconsistent with the plan that was approved 30 years ago.  He further said this is a compatibility issue in that, the townhomes have different setbacks and different characteristics than estate homes.  He added that the retention pond is not part of the plan and questioned how staff can respond to concerns from the homeowners with regard to same. 

     Teresa Peterson, 233 Coble Drive, addressed the Board to request denial of the requested amendment, citing the density and stating it is not fair that the established homeowners will have to look at townhomes.  She added that she does not see how the developer is going to put the amount of visual buffer required to prevent that from happening.  She expressed her concern about traffic and that there is only one road leading to and away from the project.  She also expressed her concern with the overcrowded schools. 

     Gunner Smith, 245 Coble Drive, addressed the Board to speak in opposition, citing traffic and overcrowded schools as his concerns.  He requested that the last building be eliminated if the Board doesn’t deny the request altogether. 

     Attorney Jane West, representing Peter Eadie, addressed the Board to speak in opposition.  She gave a PowerPoint presentation (copy received & filed) outlining the negative impacts on the Wekiva Springs quality and recharge capacity.  She discussed her concern with the Wekiva River Basin recharge, stating a UCF study shows a 15% decrease in the Wekiva Springs flow and this development will only add more impervious surfaces that will prevent groundwater recharge.  She further stated that the property is a five-acre forest which is within the most effective recharge area as established by the County Land Development Code.  She urged the Board to evaluate the impact this development will have on the Wekiva Springs. 

     Jamie Bernardo, 179 Canterclub Trail, addressed the Board to advise he is the closest house to the proposed project.  He displayed photographs (received & filed) showing his house and his view of the golf course.  He said there is only a treed buffer between his home and the project and he is concerned about his family’s safety and the noise.  He questioned if the trees in that buffer will be preserved.  He said he would like to have the end units (6) removed. 

     Mike Grier, area resident, addressed the Board to express his concern that the new residents of the condos will use Golf Course Drive. 

     Mr. Davis stated they believe this project is very much a part of the Hunt Club Boulevard corridor.  He said residents will not be driving through any part of the single-family home area.  He pointed out that they have been working with County staff on the open space issue and they believe they are in compliance.  With regard to density, they also believe they are compatible with what is in the area.  He said the retention pond is required and will be part of the approval from the Water Management District.  He committed to maintaining the group of trees so the view of the estate homes should not change substantially. 

     Jennifer Worth, representing the developer, addressed the Board to advise the 25-year storm requirements have been taken into account with their calculations.  She said taking the five acres out will not impact the ground water recharge. 

     No one else spoke in support or in opposition. 

     Speaker Request Forms were received and filed. 

     E-mail correspondence regarding this issue was received and filed. 

     District Commissioner Van Der Weide stated this is a commercial venture within a PUD and that PUD was a negotiated zoning passed by an earlier BCC in 1976.  He referred to a letter that Everett Huskey wrote stating that the Sweetwater, Sabal and Wekiva subdivisions are all part of one community and anything that adversely affects one of them, adversely affects all of them; and he said he tends to agree with him.  He advised that he has met with the developer and the homeowners and the developer and homeowners have been working together. 

     Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide to approve the Wekiva PUD Major Amendment on 4.95 acres located at 200 Hunt Club Boulevard, Addendum #15 to the Wekiva PUD Developer’s Commitment Agreement and Final Master Plan, based on staff’s findings, as described in the proof of publication, Brian Davis, with the restriction that the number of building units will be limited to 34 fee-simple lots with the flexibility to still work with the County and the community on where the units will be constructed. 

     The Chairman called for a second to the motion three times without response, whereupon, the motion died for the lack of a second. 

     Commissioner Carey stated the Board will be seeing more and more of these types of the projects as the golf course properties come forward. 

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, DCM Don Fisher, addressed the Board to advise this item is consistent with how the Deer Run PUD was handled. 

     Commissioner Morris stated he does not see that the Board has any grounds to turn this request down. 

     Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve the PUD Major Amendment for property consisting of 4.96 acres located at 200 Hunt Club Boulevard, Addendum #15, as shown on page _______, to the Wekiva PUD Developer’s Commitment Agreement and the Final Master Plan; adopt Ordinance #2006-64, as shown on page _______, granting rezoning from PUD to PUD; and authorize the Chairman to execute the aforementioned documents, based on staff findings, as described in the proof of publication, Brian Davis. 

     Under discussion and upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Commissioner Morris stated it is his intention to protect the strand of trees located on the east and he believes that can be done with the site plan.  He added that maybe one or two townhomes would have to be eliminated to save the trees and he will accept that as part of the motion. 

     Districts 1, 2, 4 and 5 voted AYE. 

     Commissioner Van Der Weide voted NAY. 

-------

     The Chairman recessed the meeting at 3:40 p.m., reconvening it at 3:50 p.m.

     District Commissioner Van Der Weide advised the homeowner’s association signed off on this request.  He said this subdivision has sidewalks in the back of the homes instead of the front.  He added that he is not opposed to the request as long as the homeowner’s association doesn’t object to it.
