accounts allowed/purchasing/public works

Mr. Knuckles, Purchasing Director, reviewed the purchasing procedure regarding petroleum products, liquid asphalt, and culvert pipe.  The usual policy is to obtain bids for a year’s supply.  Mr. Knuckles requested permission to seek bids on a 3-6 month basis.  Previously bids were rejected because it would be less expensive for us to purchase at time of need than to accept a twelve-month bid price.

Mr. Knuckles also informed the Board that last week there was an immediate need for 7,200 gallons of asphalt which was ordered as follows.

On a motion by Commr. Deems, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried unanimously by those present, 7,200 gallons of asphalt at a cost of $2,777.76 plus excess demurrage if needed, was authorized to be purchased from Mariani Asphalt of Tampa (P.O. #8291).

communications/municipalities

Commr. Windram read a letter from Mr. Frank Clifton, City Clerk, City of Mount Dora, requesting ownership information on a strip of land on the southwest shore of Lake Gertrude which is posted as private.

It was the feeling of the Board that Mr. Ford should respond to the above letter stating that the County does not and has not, to the best of our knowledge, maintained the area under consideration.  As to the ownership, it is strictly a legal opinion and the city attorney would be the proper authority to render that opinion.

Commr. Windram read a letter from Volusia County requesting we join with them in supporting the adoption of an “idle zone” on that portion of the St. John’s River extending from Aid #56 in a northerly direction to a point 300 ft. Northeast of Aid #51.

It was the feeling of the Board that a letter be written to Volusia County stating our reluctance to take any action at this time because we are unable to locate the area they are referring to.  It was suggested the Clerk request a more detailed map, preferably with road numbers, or some other easily identifiable landmark.

contracts and agreements/building department

A proposed agreement for the building department to handle all construction permits and inspections for Lady Lake was presented to the Board for consideration.

On a motion by Commr. Burhans, seconded by Commr. Deems and carried unanimously by those present, Lake County entered into an Agreement with the Town of Lady Lake to handle their building inspections.

On a motion by Commr. Deems, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried unanimously by those present, the bid submitted by Superior Asphalt was accepted as being the best and lowest bid meeting county specifications.

The Board was advised of bids received, as follows, on Project #238, C-450/Collins Street, Umatilla (the first figure is a base figure; the second figure is optional; once the job is in progress it will be decided whether to remove a curb or not, and thus incur the additional cost):

On a motion by Commr. Deems, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried unanimously by those present, Superior Asphalt was awarded the Project at $233,875.65, because they were the low bidder and upon the Engineer’s checking similar projects, he felt they had submitted the best and most competitive bid.

On a motion by Commr. Burhans, seconded by Commr. Deems and carried unanimously by those present, Superior Asphalt was awarded the removal of the curb in the above project, subject to the County Engineer’s deciding it needs to be removed at the low bid of $15,681.60 plus the low unit price bid on limerock.

chairmanship

At this time, Commr. Hoskinson arrived and assumed the Chairmanship.

roads/county

Brief discussion regarding the Western bypass in Leesburg and the Eastern bypass in Eustis.  It was the feeling of the Board that in view of the fact that we had received a written negative response from DOT regarding these bypasses, they would continue to evaluate the situation before deciding whether or not to put these projects on the secondary projects list.

On a motion by Commr. Windram, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried unanimously by those present, a Resolution was adopted establishing a 20 MPH speed limit on Lake Saunders Drive.  This was done at the request of the property owners.

outdoor recreational facilities

On a motion by Commr. Windram, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried unanimously by those present, approval was given to place the above $20,000 into an interest-bearing account, provided we can find the legal authority to allow such action.

On a motion by Commr. Windram, seconded by Commr.

planning and zoning

public hearing #31-78-1 – rr to rp – thomas bottomley

A Mrs. Lervy appeared before the Board stating she is opposed to the rezoning since the area is predominately single-family and she would be approximately 60’ from the proposed duplex-like building.

Mr. Kenneth William Copo, K & K Construction, appeared before the Board to try to clarify why this was believed to be a duplex building, when in fact it was one large mother-daughter residence, with two kitchens which would enable the two women to live independently of one another.

Mrs. Harris appeared before the Board and stated she wanted to build a home large enough to provide a home for her mother independently from her own living quarters.

Discussion occurred regarding two bathrooms and kitchens being in the same dwelling, as well as square footage, and the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan.

Mr. Pettyjohn, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission, was present to answer any questions the Board might have regarding his voting against this rezoning and the changing of the Comprehensive Plan.

Commr. Burhans moved the implementation of the procedure for amending the Comprehensive Plan to accommodate this rezoning.

Under discussion, Commr. Windram stated he would second the motion provided the whole area out there be reviewed for rezoning rather than this one specific rezoning case.  This second was not acceptable to the motion maker:  the motion died for lack of a second.

Commr. Deems moved that the recommendation of the Planning Commission be overturned and the rezoning denied.  Under discussion, Commr. Windram stated he would be willing to second the motion if the rezoning be denied without prejudice, which would enable the petitioner to resubmit his request at any time.  When the question was called for, Commr. Burhans voted “no;” the motion carried.

Mr. Wayde McCrery appeared before the Board and related problems he has encountered with parachute jumpers damaging his property.

Mr. Newell Cook appeared before the Board stating he was a new resident in the area, and while he did enjoy watching the jumpers, he was most concerned with potential problems he could foresee should the CUP be granted and a school established.

Mrs. McCrery spoke with the Board, further supporting damages the residents are experiencing.  She asked the Board who can be held liable for these damages.

public hearing #44-78-3, lm to rmrp – stanley sowinski

Commr. Hoskinson made the Board aware of a Petition from Lake Tavares Drive residents protesting the proposed rezoning.

A Mr. John High appeared before the Board to protest the rezoning.  He stated he hoped if the Board did approve the rezoning they would consider a green zone for aesthetic purposes.

A letter from a Mr. Herlong was noted as being opposed to this proposed rezoning.

Mr. Sowinski was present to answer any questions the Board might have.  Mr. Waller, who lives directly across from the area under consideration, stated he saw no problems should the rezoning be approved.  He stated he felt the mobile home park (which the rezoning would enable expansion of) would be an improvement to the area.

Commr. Hoskinson asked what objections would be had to the Planning Department’s recommendation of not rezoning the entire area RMRP, but maintaining a 100’ strip at R-1-7.  Lengthy discussion occurred regarding objections and possible alternatives.

Commr. Windram discussed with Mr. and Mrs. Sowinski the idea of changing their rezoning request to allow a 100’ strip zoned R-1-7 extending on the north side for 317 feet to Lake Tavares Drive and down Lake Tavares Drive to Old 441, with the remainder going RMRP as originally requested.

Upon the agreement of Mr. Sowinski, Commr. Windram moved that the north and west side of the property have a 100’ strip zoned R-1-7 as outlined above, with the remainder RMRP.  There was no second.

Commr. Hoskinson stepped from the Chair, with Commr. Windram assuming the Chairmanship, to second the motion.  The question was called for, with Commrs. Burhans and Deems voting “No.”  The motion did not carry, and the Chairmanship was turned back to Commr. Hoskinson.

Upon the Chairman’s asking for an additional motion, Mr. High spoke stating he felt he could live with the motion that had just died.  Commr. Deems expressed concern for Mr. Herlong who was not present to express his views.  He stated that if Mr. High could assure him Mr. Herlong would have no objection to the motion, he would withdraw his objections and reconsider the motion.

At this time, upon the assurance of Mr. High that he felt all property owners would be satisfied with the motion, Commr. Deems moved to “re-move” the above motion as originally stated by Commr. Windram, this was seconded by Commr. Windram.

At this time, Commr. Hoskinson asked if a motion to reconsider wouldn’t be more appropriate, and discussion occurred regarding who is able to “re-move” a motion and second that same motion which originally died for lack of a majority vote.  At 4:20 p.m., a five-minute recess was called to enable the County Attorney to consult Robert’s Rules of Order.

The Board returned to order at 4:35 p.m. and postponed public hearing #44-78-3 until the return of the County Attorney.  Public Hearing #56-78-3 was also postponed until Mr. Ford returned.

public hearing #44-78-3, lm to rmrp – stanley sowinski

At this time, Mr. Ford returned with an opinion regarding the motion and second on the floor at this time in this case.  It was his feeling that as long as the second motion, which is identical to the first, is moved by the prevailing side, there are no rules regarding the seconder (it can be any Board member).

The motion and second being found in order, Commr. Windram further reviewed that 100’ on the North and West sides would be zoned R-1-7 with the balance RMRP as stated in his original motion, and called for the question.  Commr. Burhans voted “no.”  The motion carried.
