Ms. Sharon Farrell, Senior Director, Department of Growth Management, explained that this request was for an amendment to the existing CUP#94/2/1-5 to add two (2) acres of land to an existing twelve (12) acre fernery.  She stated that staff was recommending approval of the request for an amendment to the existing CUP, and the Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended approval by a 9-0 vote.

PETITION NO. PH#7-99-5 C-2 TO LM WILLIAM & MARY JANE HICKNEY

Ms. Sharon Farrell, Senior Director, Department of Growth Management, explained that this request was to rezone from C-2 (Community Commercial) to LM (Light Industrial) for self-service storage and future LM uses on approximately 7.59 acres in the Eustis area.  She explained that the parcel was vacant at this time and was most recently used as a Go-Cart Track.  She explained that this parcel was adjacent to an existing employment center zoning and does meet the criteria to rezone for an employment center; however, staff cannot recommend approval because of the uniqueness of the request.  She stated that the use of the site for self-service storage is a commercial use that is also a permitted use in industrial zoning districts; however, the site does not meet the commercial locational criteria as stated in Policy 1-1.13 of the Lake County Comprehensive Plan.  She stated that MP (Planned Industrial) zoning would provide a buffer between SR 19 and the Lake County Human Society.  At this time, Ms. Farrell presented an aerial map (County Exhibit 1) of the property in question and a photograph (County Exhibit 2) of a similar self-storage facility which had been provided by the applicant.  She stated that the ordinance before the Board at this time was for MP (Planned Industrial) zoning limited to self-storage.  She stated that staff was recommending denial to rezone the site from C-2 to MP (Planned Industrial) based on the fact that this request does not meet commercial locational criteria, and the Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended approval by an 8-0 vote.

At this time, the Chairman opened the public hearing portion of the meeting.

Mr. William Hickney, the applicant, appeared before the Board and stated that he understands the restriction under the MP (Planned Industrial) zoning that this was strictly for self-service storage.

No one present wished to speak in opposition to this request.

There being no further public comment, the public hearing portion of the meeting was closed.

Commr. Pool made a motion, which was seconded by Commr. Hanson, to uphold the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and approve a request by William and Mary Jane Hickney, Petition No. PH#7-99-5, to rezone from C-2 (Community Commercial) to MP (Planned Industrial) for self-service storage and future MP uses - Ordinance No. 1999-24.

Commr. Swartz clarified that staff was recommending denial because the request does not meet the Lake County Comprehensive Plan requiring commercial locational criteria.

Ms. Farrell explained that the Land Development Regulations consider self-service storage/mini-warehouses to be a commercial use and a permitted use in the MP (Planned Industrial) zoning district.

Commr. Swartz stated that this was a commercial request that does not meet commercial locational criteria, therefore, is inconsistent with the Lake County Comprehensive Plan.  He expressed concern that C.R. 19 would end up being stripped if the Board ignores commercial locational criteria or fails to find other alternatives that better serve the County.

The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, which carried by a 4-1 vote.

Commr. Swartz voted in opposition.

PETITION NO. PH#8-99-5 C-2 & RP TO RMRP lARRY MACK

SNOWBIRDLAND VISTAS, INC.

Ms. Sharon Farrell, Senior Director, Department of Growth Management, explained that this request was to rezone from C-2 (Community Commercial) and RP (Residential Professional) to RMRP (Mobile Home Rental Park) to rezone 10.14 acres of land in the Snowbirdland Vistas/Mid-Florida Lakes rental park for an additional 37 rental lots.  Ms. Farrell presented on the monitor an aerial map (County Exhibit 1).  She explained that in 1992 the subject parcel was rezoned from C-1 (Tourist Commercial) and RMRP (Mobile Home Rental Park) to C-2 (Community Commercial) and RP (Residential Professional), and the request, at this time, was to rezone back to RMRP in order to add the 37 rental lots.  She stated that staff has resolved several issues of concern and recommends approval to rezone from C-2 (Community Commercial) and RP (Residential Professional) to RMRP (Mobile Home Rental Park), and the Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended approval by a 7-2 vote subject to the DRI (Development of Regional Impact) review.

At this time, the Chairman opened the public hearing portion of the meeting.

No one present wished to speak in opposition to this request.

Commr. Gerber stated that she had reservations about putting additional people in the park because of the poor air quality in the area.

Ms. Leslie Campione, Attorney, representing the applicant, appeared before the Board and explained that the property was currently zoned RP (Residential Professional) and there was an approved site plan for an Adult Care Living Facility (ACLF) on the property.  She stated that it was difficult to quantify the density within an ACLF; however, based on the square footage, they have projected that there could be up to 200 individuals living on the property if it were developed as an ACLF versus the 37 lots.  She displayed on the monitor a plat (Applicant’s Exhibit A) and stated that there were 1,195 units on the ground at this time, and the additional 37 units would bring the total to 1,232 units which was less than the 1,265 units initially approved on the master park plan.  She directed the Board’s attention to a letter from Nancy H. Fullerton, Planning and Zoning Commission, (County Exhibit 2) addressing dog walking and open space and discussed same.  At this time, Ms. Campione discussed the aerial map (County Exhibit 1) and illustrated the location of open space, the spray field, and upland areas.  She displayed on the monitor the 1985 Master Park Plan (Applicant’s Exhibit B) and provided a brief history of the park since 1968.  She further displayed on the monitor a site plan (Applicant’s Exhibit C) and discussed same.  She stated that this request would be the last modification and would complete the development within the park.

Mr. Larry Mack, Manager, Snowbirdland Vistas, Inc., appeared before the Board to address concerns expressed by Commr. Gerber in regard to the poor air quality.  He explained that the park has followed the guidelines set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Commr. Gerber reiterated her concern with the poor air quality noting that it was the responsibility of the Board to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public; however, the options before the Board at this time are to rezone to RMRP to allow for 37 additional lots versus an ACLF which would allow up to an additional 200 individuals.

There being no further public comment, the public hearing portion of the meeting was closed.

Commr. Hanson made a motion, which was seconded by Commr. Pool to uphold the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and approve a request from Larry Mack, Snowbirdland Vistas, Inc., Petition No. PH#8-99-5, to rezone from C-2 (Community Commercial) and RP (Residential Professional) to RMRP (Mobile Home Rental Park) to rezone land in the Snowbirdland Vistas/Mid-Florida Lakes rental park for an additional 37 rental lots, subject to the DRI (Development of Regional Impact) review - Ordinance No. 1999-25.

Commr. Swartz stated that an ACLF would not have the vehicles associated with it that the individual family homes would have; however the numbers would be greater in terms of individuals.  He expressed concern that there would be virtually no open space other than the wetland areas that are not accessible.  He requested help in better understanding why residential would be better than the ACLF which was currently approved.

Commr. Cadwell stated that the rezoning was basically filling up the remainder of the park and apparently the market was not there for an ACLF.

Commr. Pool stated that the consistency of what is in place currently in lieu of an adult care living facility may not be what people want to see.  He stated that, if they are vested at 1,265, it makes good sense to in fill as it was originally planned.  He stated that traffic counts would be more with an ACLF than with 37 lots.

The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, which carried by a 5-0 vote.

PETITION NO. PH#50-98-4 R-6 TO CP JAMES & DANIE G. POWELL

Ms. Sharon Farrell, Senior Director, Department of Growth Management, explained that this request was to rezone from R-6 (Urban Residential) to CP (Planned Commercial) for future commercial use on a six (6) acre parcel in the Astor/Astor Park area.  She stated that staff could not recommend approval of this request since the request was not within a designated Community Activity Center or a Neighborhood Activity Center as established on the Future Land Use Map and in the policies of the Lake County Comprehensive Plan.  She stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended approval by a 5-4 vote.  She displayed on the monitor the Future Land Use Map (County Exhibit 1) and discussed same.  She stated that the Future Land Use designation was Urban Expansion which is consistent with C-2 uses, however, the surrounding neighborhood is rural and has not experienced the urbanization exhibited in other areas of the County designated Urban Expansion; therefore, the proposed rezoning does not meet the commercial locational criteria.  She explained that the recommendation for denial was to point out the inconsistencies of the area, and staff recognizes the need for a small area study in the Astor area that would result in a more logical zoning pattern than currently exists.  Ms. Farrell presented photographs (contained in the staff report) on the monitor of adjacent properties and an aerial map (County Exhibit 2) and discussed the area in question.

Commr. Hanson stated that a small area study was needed in the Astor area and noted that in this particular area there was no opportunity for urban sprawl, the boundaries are well defined and the need for small commercial activities in the area would be for the people who live in the vicinity and for tourism from those who pass through on Hwy. 40.

Ms. Farrell directed the Board’s attention to the CP (Planned Commercial) Ordinance and noted that Section 1. A. Land Uses includes a list of neighborhood uses, limited to a maximum of 50,000 square feet of gross leasable area with an Impervious Surface Ration (ISR) of 0.65 in exchange for parking spaces under F. Parking.  She stated that she would like to add second floor dwellings to the list of neighborhood land uses.

At this time, the Chairman opened the public hearing portion of the meeting.

Mr. Steven Richey, Attorney, representing the applicant, appeared before the Board and displayed on the monitor a site plan (contained in the staff report) illustrating the surrounding zonings and explained that there was commercial and industrial zoning surrounding the property.  He stated that a small area study would show that the only high and dry property in the area to be developed was the property in question; therefore, there will not be proliferation of commercial along the highway because there is no land available that meets the criteria.  He displayed on the monitor a preliminary site plan (Applicant’s Exhibit A) illustrating the parcel that was advertised for a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commissioner.  At this time, discussion occurred regarding a discrepancy in the site plan contained in the staff report and the preliminary site plan that he filed as the legal for this parcel.  He stated that he has not changed any legals, and the legal that he proposed when he filed this petition was the same legal as Applicant’s Exhibit A.

Mr. Sandy Minkoff, County Attorney, clarified that the Planning and Zoning Commission addressed the whole parcel at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on February 3, 1999.

No one present wished to speak in opposition to this request.

There being no further public comment, the public hearing portion of the meeting was closed.

Commr. Hanson stated that this further indicates the need for some other designation for areas such as this, and she recognizes the differences between the Astor Park area and Astor and the need for commercial in both of those areas.

On a motion by Commr. Hanson, seconded by Commr. Pool and carried unanimously by a 5-0 vote, the Board upheld the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and approved a request from James and Danie G. Powell, Petition No. 50-98-4, to rezone from R-6 (Urban Residential) to CP (Planned Commercial) for future commercial use with the condition that they hook up to central sewer when it becomes available - Ordinance No. 1999-26.

PETITION NO. #74A-93-2 AMD. TO PUD ORDINANCE #48-93 D.R. HORTON

Commr. Cadwell noted that Petition No. #74A-93-2 had been withdrawn from the agenda.

REPORTS

COMMISSIONER GERBER - DISTRICT NO. 1

Commr. Gerber informed the Board that she would not be attending the Board of County Commissioners Fiscal Retreat on March 4, 1999 at the Woodlands Lutheran Camp.

COMMISSIONER POOL - DISTRICT NO. 2

Commr. Pool expressed concern with the speed in which the Lake Minneola bridge on C.R. 561A and the Lake Minnehaha bridge on C.R. 561 were being constructed.  He stated that the bridge builders that were building the north bridge on C.R. 561A have now switched their concentration and are focusing their efforts on the south bridge on C.R. 561.   He requested that the bridge builders complete at least one of the bridges in a timely manner and stated that some of the business owners in the area have informed him that business has decreased by twenty-five (25) to forty (40) percent due to the construction of the bridges.

Mr. Fred Schneider, Engineering Director, Department of Growth Management, appeared before the Board and stated that both bridges were scheduled for completion in June 1999.  He discussed the time schedule for construction of the bridges and stated that both decks were scheduled to be poured around mid-March.  He stated that the County’s Construction Engineering Inspection Team meets weekly with the contractor and scheduling time frames  will be brought up for discussion.  He stated that it was his understanding that they were ahead of schedule.

Commr. Pool stated that the businesses in the area were not interested in timely pours, and want one bridge completed before closing the other bridge.

Commr. Cadwell directed staff to schedule a meeting with the affected area businesses to provide them with an update on the scheduling time frames.

Discussion occurred regarding the elevation of the bridges, at which time, Mr. Schneider stated that it was the intent and goal to provide adequate clearance that would be continuous from Lake Minneola to Lake Minnehaha.  He stated that the under clearance elevations did not increase; however, the horizontal clearances are wider in order to provide boating safety, and both bridges are six (6) inches higher than the S.R. 50 bridge.  He noted that the S.R. 50 bridge has not been included in the Florida Department of Transportation’s Twenty Year Plan.  He stated that there has been a zero impact on the wetlands and, if the bridges were constructed at a higher elevation, there would be a significant impact to the wetland for the County to address.

CITIZEN QUESTION AND COMMENT PERIOD

Mr. Steven Richey, Attorney, representing HCN, appeared before the Board to address an agenda item that appeared on the February 16, 1999 Board of County Commissioners agenda regarding approval to purchase property for the C.R. 448 extension from Carla Doerr.  He stated that it was his understanding that the request was to be on the agenda at the meeting today.  He stated that HCN, the developer of Lakeside of Tavares, has voluntarily agreed to provide one-half of the right-of-way for the road extension in question subject to the Department of Public Works cleaning up the area and that the County build the road sometime within the next two (2) years.  He explained that said right-of-way exceeds the value of the right-of-way being sold by Carla Doerr whose asking price exceeds the appraised value.  He stated that HCN will need to seek other alternatives to their road network if the County becomes involved with protracted discussions with Carla Doerr.  He requested that the Board provide staff direction to look at HCN’s offer to provide right-of-way that is equal to or of greater value than the purchase price of property from Carla Doerr, and to direct staff to consider those issues and bring back considerations to the Board as they reevaluate this issue.

Commr. Swartz stated that this issue should be put back on the agenda.  He stated that, despite the fact that it would not be the optimum for the County, he would support relocating the C.R. 448 extension to the north property line of the County’s property if the County does not utilize the donated right-of-way that HCN was offering to the County.

COMMISSIONER CADWELL - CHAIRMAN AND DISTRICT NO. 5

Commr. Cadwell presented this request.

On a motion by Commr. Gerber, seconded by Commr. Pool and carried unanimously by a 5-0 vote, the Board approved the appointment of Commr. Catherine C. Hanson to serve as representative to the Board on the St. Johns River Water Management District Water Supply Planning Work Group for Work Group Area 1.

There being no further business to be brought to the attention of the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 10:30 p.m.
