PUBLIC HEARING

 

ORANGE BOULEVARD SMALL SCALE

LAND USE AMENDMENT, KBC Development

 

     Proof of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to consider the Small Scale Land Use Amendment for 1.9 acres, from MDR (Medium Density Residential) to COM (Commercial) and a Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) and R-1 (Single Family Dwelling District) to PCD (Planned Commercial Development), located at the southwest corner of Orange Boulevard and Dunbar Street, KBC Development, Inc., received and filed.

     Cynthia Sweet, Planning and Development Division, addressed the Board to present the request, advising the applicant proposes to use the property for commercial and office with uses permitted within the CN, CS, and C-1 zoning districts, with the following exceptions and conditions:  Uses that may be allowed subject to a revised site plan are fire stations, public and private schools, banks, day nurseries and kindergartens.  Uses that are prohibited are appliance stores, churches, funeral homes, plant nurseries and Special Exception uses per Seminole County Land Development Code Section 30.743.

In addition, the applicant is requesting the following waiver requirements:  (1) Off-street parking; (2) Loading and unloading; and (3) Active/passive buffer setback design standards on the south, east and west side of the property.

Ms. Sweet advised that per Policy FLU 2.4, Neighborhood Commercial Uses, the County may adopt small scale commercial plan amendments in areas designated solely for residential uses only under the following conditions:  (a) Uses do not encourage urban sprawl, are intended to serve the local area only, and are supportive of and consistent with the character of the neighborhoods they are intended to serve; (b) Uses are located at the intersection of collector or arterial roadways and will not set a precedent for future strip commercialization; and (c) Development occurs in accordance with the Land Development Code (LDC) Performance Standards, including intensity limitations based on traffic impact studies.

Ms. Sweet stated staff finds that a new commercial use introduced to the south side of Orange Boulevard may contribute to urban sprawl.  Staff further finds that encroachment into an existing residential neighborhood may potentially set a precedent for strip and commercial patterns in the future and feels that an office use would provide a more effective transition.

Ms. Sweet reviewed the list of proposed changes to the Development Order that the applicant submitted at the September 1, 2010 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.  The P&Z Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request based on the staff-prepared Development Order with the applicant’s proposed changes.  Ms. Sweet advised that staff recommends denial of the Land Use Amendment as originally presented by the applicant.

Charlie Madden, Madden, Moorhead & Glunt, addressed the Board to advise his firm is representing Michael Good, the applicant.  Mr. Madden introduced an aerial photograph (received and filed) of the KBC Office Park and discussed the existing land uses in the area.  Mr. Madden explained why he believes the proposed change in land use would be appropriate. 

Mr. Madden stated that since Jerry McCollum, County Engineer, had suggested the applicant obtain neighborhood support, there is a petition signed by many of the neighbors on Dunbar Avenue included in the packet.  He stated the neighbors support a driveway coming off of Dunbar.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. Madden explained who would be using the Dunbar entrance and who would be using the main entrance on Orange Boulevard.  Mr. Madden stated he believes the Dunbar entrance primarily would be used by people that live on Dunbar. 

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. Madden discussed the result of the traffic study stating it is operating on an A level of service now and will continue to operate on an A level of service. 

No one spoke in support or in opposition.

Mr. Madden distributed a document (received and filed) outlining KBC's proposed changes to the staff-prepared Development Order and stated that these changes were approved at the P&Z meeting.  He further stated there was one additional item, Item 3-K, which stated one parking space shall be provided for every 200 feet of gross floor area.  He asked that that item be removed since they are meeting the Seminole County Land Development Code and are not asking for waiver of parking. 

District Commissioner Carey stated she believes the request for office or neighborhood commercial is appropriate.

Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to adopt Ordinance #2010-19, as shown on page _______, approving a Small Scale Land Use Amendment from MDR (Medium Density Residential) to COM (Commercial), and adopting Ordinance #2010-20, as shown on page _______, granting rezoning from A-1 (Agriculture) and R-1 (Single Family Dwelling District) to PCD (Planned Commercial Development), for property consisting of 1.9 acres, located at the southwest corner of Orange Boulevard and Dunbar Street, as described in the proof of publication, KBC Development, Inc.; subject to the conditions included within the staff-prepared Development Order, as shown on page ________, and the following additional conditions:  to strike Item 3B which is access to Dunbar Drive; to modify 3F, the west buffer, to be a minimum width of 5 feet with an average width of 15 feet; to modify the language in the staff-prepared Development Order that says the PVC fence is going to be set inside, that it should be set on the property line; to strike Item K, that the applicant will need to meet the parking requirements when they get to the point of knowing exactly what is going to be built; and to strike Item Q.

Under discussion, Commissioner Carey further advised that since no one knows what this is going to be, in the event the driveway can be moved further back or relocated at some point near the final plan, she doesn’t think it should have to come back to this Board since it is a minor change.  Commissioner Carey stated she believes the issue has been properly vetted and wants it to be a part of the approval.

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

Lindy Freeman, 1617 Overlook Road, addressed the Board to discuss the already passed aquatic weed control for Myrtle Lake.  Ms. Freeman introduced a DVD (received and filed) which illustrates the restoration of Myrtle Lake.

COUNTY MANAGER’S CONSENT AGENDA

     Acting County Manager Joe Forte advised that Item #12, Neighborhood Stabilization Program Rental Property Donation and Acceptance Tri-Party Agreement, is being withdrawn by staff for some corrections and will be bought back at the October 12 meeting; and that Item #39, Request for Reduction of Code Enforcement Lien, is being withdrawn at the request of the applicant.    

Mr. Forte advised that while the background information in Item #19, Certificate of Acceptance of Subgrant Award, states the funding for the Juvenile Assessment Center remains pending, the award came in the mail on September 23 after the agenda had gone to print.  Mr. Forte requested the item be amended to reflect both awards and approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the Certificate of Acceptance for both awards totaling $230,104 since they are both part of the same grant.

     Commissioner Carey discussed Item Number #17, Florida Department of Environmental Protection Grant, and advised that while the request states the remaining funding of $620,350 would come from the 17/92 CRA fund, there is only $225,000 budgeted for that.

Mr. Forte stated the balance of the funding will come from FDOT and that it should have been explained clearer in the agenda item.  Mr. Forte explained the County has budgeted $225,000 with FDOT making up $520,000 and the FRDAP grant making up $200,000.  Commissioner Carey stated since the information doesn't reflect that FDOT is in the mix, she wants it on the record that the County is not taking $620,000 from the 17/92 CRA fund.

Lisa Spriggs, Fiscal Services Director, addressed the Board to state that the application is due this week; and while there have been discussions with DOT, there is no formal commitment.  Ms. Spriggs stated to support the grant application and to support the match, she has requested it as CRA funds, meaning if the DOT money doesn’t come through, she would support the project with CRA funds.  Ms. Spriggs stated the application could be pulled.

Mr. Forte stated the item would need to go back to the CRA for approval for additional money if the DOT money does not come through.

County Attorney’s Consent Agenda

Request to approve, Fisher & Phillips’, Labor Counsel, rate increase to $250/hour/Partner/Of Counsel Attorney and $220/hour/Associate Attorney from the current blended rate of $210/hour was presented.

Commissioner Henley stated he would not be supporting this item as he believes it is entirely too much money for the types of services provided.  He further stated he believes the Board may need to think of another process since over $71,000 has already been spent this year and the County still hasn’t gained anything with more yet to be spent.  Commissioner Henley stated he believes $210 per hour is sufficient for this type of work. 

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Robert McMillan, County Attorney, stated he had asked Fisher & Phillips why they were switching from a blended rate and it was suggested that it was to hold down the price, that they would be charging less for the associates than they do now.  Mr. McMillan further stated his intention was to use his newly hired deputy, who used to be the chief labor negotiator for Orange County for 13 years, for a lot of the Personnel, HR and Union matters that outside counsel is currently used for and perhaps be able to cut those hours down. 

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. McMillan stated that his staff does handle some of the grievances and other labor counsel issues.  He explained how using the same attorney to do both functions (advising the department bringing the action and then advising the Appeals Grievance Board and County Manager), can prejudice the process.   

Commissioner Henley expressed concerns in increasing this rate by $40 an hour when the County can't reward their own employees with an increase of a few dollars. 

Commissioner Carey stated if the matter is not time sensitive, she would like to see some kind of analysis concerning how much time is spent on HR grievance issues versus other matters.  Mr. McMillan stated that an RFP for labor counsel has not gone out since he has been employed with the County. 

Commissioner Carey asked if the matter could be continued, get an analysis as to what the use is and also find out if Fisher & Phillips has considered a blended rate.  Chairman Dallari asked that a breakdown of what has typically been paid in each category be included in the analysis. 

The consensus of the Board was to continue Fisher & Phillips’, Labor Counsel, request for rate increase to $2250/hour/Partner/Of Counsel Attorney and $220/hour/Associate Attorney from the current blended rate of $210/hour.

Constitutional Officers’ Consent Agenda

REGULAR AGENDA

Senior Planner, Ian Sikonia, addressed the Board to present a request for a Special Event Permit for the Habitat for Humanity Haunted House Event for every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in October of 2010 and a Temporary Parking Agreement for use of Big Tree Park, located southeast of the intersection of General Hutchison Parkway and Timocuan Way, Michael Towers. 

Mr. Sikonia explained that a special event permit is required because of the proposed outdoor amplification of sound produced in conjunction with the haunted houses.  The special event hours will be from 7:00 P.M. until 11:00 P.M.  There will be approximately 40 volunteers working the event, and the Central Florida Historical Society will be the sole food vendor. 

Mr. Sikonia stated that the Seminole County Sheriff's Office will provide six deputies and there will be a paramedic onsite for emergency services.  The proposed haunted house structures will comply with all requirements of the Florida Fire Prevention Code and shall be approved by the Seminole County Fire Prevention Division prior to the event.

Mr. Sikonia advised that the applicant is requesting placement of two temporary banner signs advertising the event at 448 Spring Hammock Court and 2800 N. U.S. 17-92; placement of hearse structures with signage at 15 businesses throughout Seminole County to further advertise the event.  In addition to the Special Event Permit, the applicant is also requesting the use of the parking lot at Big Tree Park for patrons to utilize during the event for overflow parking. 

Mr. Sikonia stated that staff has received two additional letters of concern from Big Tree Self Storage (received and filed) which he distributed to the Board.

Mr. Sikonia stated staff recommends approval with the eight stated conditions in the staff report.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. Sikonia stated that Big Tree Self-Storage and Fleet Financial Services have a cross parking agreement.

Motion by Commissioner Henley, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to approve the request for a Special Event Permit for the Habitat for Humanity Haunted House Event for every Thursday, Friday and Saturday in October, 2010 and execute the Agreement, as shown on page _______, for the temporary use of parking at Big Tree Park for the event, located southeast of the intersection of General Hutchison Parkway and Timocuan Way, Michael Towers, based on staff findings.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he is not in favor of having an evening session.  Mr. McMillan advised at this time it will be an afternoon session unless the Board directs otherwise.

-------

Commissioner Henley reported that LYNX is rapidly coming to a close on a new CEO with six outstanding candidates narrowed down to three.  Commissioner Henley further reported that he participated in Orlando with Mayor Dyer in the unveiling of a new bus that depicted all of the art work that is in the new Amway Arena and the unveiling of a new articulated bus which highlighted the Federal Security Agency with one of their offices on it, trying to depict the cooperation that exists between LYNX and the Federal Agency.  He stated that a new Orlando substation was opened for the Orlando Police in the LYNX Center.

COUNTY MANAGER’S REPORT

     ACM Joe Forte stated that he sent an e-mail (not received and filed) to the Commissioners in regards to the Recovery Zone bonds.  He advised that the Heart Association of Counties, through Ken Wright and Jim Smith, is asking the counties that don't have a need for the allocation to waive that allocation so South Florida can utilize the money; and the Association sent a waiver for the Chairman's signature.

Commissioner Carey stated that it was her understanding that even if this matter came back at the next meeting, it wouldn't be that big of a deal for them.  She stated she would like to give some local companies, Blue Chip particularly, an opportunity.  She stated she did not mind relinquishing the bonds if the County doesn't have anyone that can really use them. 

Motion by Commissioner McLean, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to release the allocation in favor of the Heart Association of Counties, designating and granting authorization for the Chairman to execute the release waiver form subject to Blue Chip's waiver.

COUNTY ATTORNEY’S REPORT

     Mr. McMillan updated the Board regarding the permanent injunction for Sun State Trees.  He stated that Sun State Trees met their deadline last Friday with their next deadline being October 4. 

-------

Mr. McMillan discussed the County Manager search and the information that he was asked to bring back to the Board.  He stated he had provided each Commissioner with a copy (not received and filed) of a packet that included the information that was handed out last October (the proposals that were submitted and the people that responded last year).  He reviewed the information in the packet.

Since a new commissioner is coming on board and this decision is an important one that the new commissioner will have to live with, Commissioner Van Der Weide suggested this matter be continued until there is a full Board.  He stated he would hate to see a lot of the taxpayers’ money spent spinning their wheels without knowing what the new commissioner's thoughts are.

Commissioner Carey agreed with Commissioner Van Der Weide on this issue.  She advised she just got the information from Mr. McMillan today and has been trying to do some research on the firms that he provided and the ones that were looked at last year. 

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. McMillan reviewed the research that he has done.  Commissioner Carey requested that staff reach out to the NACo connections for more of a national level search.

Commissioner Henley stated while the new commissioner should be here for the selection of the County Manager, from the standpoint of starting the search (which will take quite a while), he sees no reason to delay getting the work started.  He added as far as making a selection, the new commissioner should be available for that.

Commissioner McLean agreed with Commissioner Henley and stated he believes if you wait too long, you may end up running up against the next budget cycle and suggested beginning to move the process forward as soon as practicable. 

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Commissioner Carey advised that the cost last year was $25,000.  Mr. McMillan stated the general range was between $20,000 and $25,000. 

Commissioner Carey suggested the Board consider the matter at the next Board meeting which will give her time to reach out to the people at NACo for possible suggestions. 

Chairman Dallari stated he would like a chance to read through the packet and do some research.  He advised if there are no objections, the Board will talk about it at the next meeting.  No objection was voiced.

ITEMS FOR FUTURE AGENDA

     John Casselberry addressed the Board to discuss the budget meeting he attended last night at the City of Casselberry.  He stated they were down to 15 percent of their budget coming from ad valorem taxes and wondered if Seminole County was anywhere near that low.  Mr. Casselberry suggested if that is the major average percentage for local governments in the state, they ought to get together and go to Tallahassee next session and say they want a service tax instead of a property tax.  Mr. Casselberry discussed the service tax.

Mr. Casselberry stated the space in the courthouse at Lake Monroe is not being used and suggested closing the juvenile courthouse and putting it with criminal, right next door.  He suggested allowing Sanford to have a substation at the Lake Monroe courthouse which would provide extra security at the site.

-------

     Joanne Cornelis, 136 East Alma Avenue, addressed to Board to state that bus services is needed 24 hours a day, seven days a week including weekends and holidays.

     Commissioner Henley stated Ms. Cornelis is here because she has made the same request at every LYNX meeting for the last two years.  Commissioner Henley stated he told Ms. Cornelis that she was in front of the wrong group; that she needed to come to the County Commission; and that LYNX will provide whatever service the County Commission is willing to pay for.

-------

There being no further business to come before the Board, the Chairman adjourned the meeting at 2:40 p.m., this same date.
