AND PLEDGE
Reverend
Dr. Isaac Deas from The Father’s House, in Leesburg, gave the Invocation and
led the Pledge of Allegiance.
AGENDA
UPDATE
Ms.
Cindy Hall, County Manager, informed the Board that she would like to pull Tab
2, because they were still working with the residents on that item, and Tab 6,
which was an Interlocal Agreement with Umatilla, because they were going to be
doing their own building department. She
also stated that the presentation scheduled by the Supervisor of Elections had
been postponed until a later date. She
noted that there was also an Addendum No. 1 added to the Agenda, which was a
presentation by Mr. Robbie Hollenbeck, Community Services, to present
information regarding the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant.
PRESENTATION
OF THE GORDON JOHNSON AWARD
Commr.
Cadwell stated that before they got into the
Mr.
Joseph Jarret,
Mr.
Gordon Johnson, the award’s namesake and the immediate past
Mr.
Minkoff accepted the award, thanking his staff and stating that without one’s
staff, one could not be successful at anything, and thanked the presenters of
the award.
Commr.
Renick wanted to pull Tab 8 to ask if there was a time element on that item, or
if they could put it out for bid again, because she hated to only have one bid.
Mr.
Barnett Schwartzman, Procurement Director, responded that the price that they
did get from the one bid was considered fair and reasonable, and when that was
the case, generally the best course of action was to proceed. He opined that he hated to only get one bid
also, but in this particular case, they did market research and learned that
the price seemed to be right.
Commr.
Stivender asked Mr. Schwartzman that if they go back out to bid, if it could
come in higher.
Mr.
Schwartzman stated that it could come in higher, lower, or with no bid at all.
Commr.
Cadwell stated that they would come back and address that one individually.
Commr.
Stewart wanted to pull Tab 11 for discussion to ask about the four-foot bicycle
lanes for the
Mr.
Stivender responded that the original design was for a twelve-foot trail, a
sidewalk, and a road. He explained that
the current design eliminated the trail itself, but they still had the paved
shoulders on the road, which were sometimes called by the terms paved
shoulders, multi-use shoulders, and bike lanes, and this was based on the
direction of the Board.
On
a motion by Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr. Hill and carried unanimously,
the Board approved the County Manager’s Consent Agenda, Tabs 1 through 11,
pulling Tabs 2, 6, and 8, as follows:
Community
Services
Request for approval of 1)
distribution of Byrne Grant funds among local jurisdictions applying for

and subsequent grant related documents.

entitled Building and Construction.

Request
for approval of Fourth Amendment to amend the Scope of Services to provide for
the road design to be changed from a rural road design to an urban road design
with four foot bicycle lanes, and to include stormwater ponds - Commission
District 4.
Commr.
Renick commented, regarding Tab 8, that she wanted to know what the rest of the
Board thought about only having one bid, but if the Board was comfortable with
it, they could go ahead and approve it.
Commr.
Cadwell stated that generally Commr. Renick would be absolutely right about
that, but that he knew the due diligence that their Purchasing Department went
through, and he did not think they would be comfortable at all stating this was
a good deal unless it was.
On a
motion by Commr. Renick, seconded by Commr. Stivender and carried unanimously,
by a vote of 5-0, the Board approved Tab 8, the request from Procurement for
approval to award ITB No. 07-0830 for a Thermoplastic Striping Trailer to M-B
Companies Inc. in Montgomery, PA for the amount of $58,221.00.
Commr.
Renick stated that she was pulling Tab 12, which was the Second Amendment to
the Interlocal Agreement with Central Lake Community Development District
(CDD). She stated that she understood
that if a CDD was increasing the acreage to where they could expand their
utilities, then they were just allowing for more growth and not necessarily in
an area where they would want it. She
commented that her reaction was to vote “no” and to ask that they not let them
increase their acreage.
Commr.
Stivender explained that the reasons for a lot of the expansion there were the
rezonings that came before the Board, where they were told that they had to
have water and sewer connection, and this CDD was their only option for that
connection.
Commr.
Stewart commented that her only concern was that she noticed that most of their
new spaces were actually filling in empty spaces within the Howey district, and
she was concerned about the extension to the marina.
Mr. Sandy
Minkoff,
Commr. Renick
asked what Howey’s reservations had been.
Mr.
Minkoff responded that he met with Howey’s outside counsel about it, and he
thought they were engaged in discussions with the owners of Mission Inn and the
CDD about wastewater services and that Howey believed that the blue area by the
marina was in their 180 District, which pertained to sewer and not water, and
was in an area where they had proposed to serve with water. He summarized that it was an issue of who served
the area.
On a
motion by Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr. Hill and carried by a vote of
4-1, the Board approved Tab 12 of the
Commr.
Renick voted “no.”
On a
motion by Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr. Hill and carried unanimously, by
a vote of 5-0, the Board approved the
Request
for approval of Settlement,
Request
for approval of Renewal of Lease Agreement with Kristen L. Bartch Family
Limited Partnership – Commission District 3.
Request
for approval to retain the law firm of Shulman Rogers from
ADDENDUM
NO. 1-I
PRESENTATION
EDWARD
BYRNE MEMORIAL JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT
Mr.
Fletcher Smith, Community Services Director, stated that this was to request
approval on behalf of the Sheriff to submit the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice
Assistance Grant application to the Bureau of Justice in the amount of
$79,656.00 to implement some programs, including a crisis negotiation vehicle,
some software for sex offender tracking, as well as some radar speed detection
devices. He explained that this was a
grant that the Federal Government gave that required the money to be targeted
in six different areas, which were law enforcement, prosecution, prevention,
community programs, drug treatment, and community corrections. He also stated that no local matches were
required.
On a
motion by Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr. Hill and carried unanimously,
the Board approved Addendum No. 1-I, a request from Community Services on
behalf of the Sheriff to submit the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance
Grant application to the Bureau of Justice.
Mr. Smith
added that there was a 30-day public review of the grant application and that
they send any comments that anyone in the public may have to the Bureau of
Justice.
COMMUNITY
SERVICES
APPLICATION
FOR FTA SECTION 5309 DISCRETIONARY GRANT PROGRAM
Mr.
Fletcher Smith, Community Services Director, stated that this was the application
that they made for the bus facility that they were hoping to locate somewhere
in the south Tavares campus. He
specified that it was a $7 million grant and that there was a cash match to
this. He noted that they submitted it
through the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) through the federal
government, and that hopefully if they received this grant, they could
alleviate some of their problems as far as maintaining the Transportation
Disadvantaged (TD) buses and the fixed route buses.
Commr.
Hill stated that she was concerned, because she thought this might be a little
premature, since the fixed route had not been in existence for a year, and
possibly they were committing quite a bit of funding for something that they
did not know if they would be able to or want to continue. She asked if they could donate property
rather than the cash for the cash match.
Mr. Smith
responded that they have had that thought to make that match with property.
Commr.
Stivender pointed out that this was also for the Transportation Disadvantaged.
Commr.
Hill asked that if the worst-case scenario happened and they did not have the
fixed route anymore, would this grant be too large for just that function.
Mr. Smith
answered that they did not think it would be, and that as the County grew, the
number of vehicles that they would need to provide service would increase as
well. He opined that this should be
adequate to serve that.
Commr.
Cadwell pointed out to the Board that they should not lose focus when they were
talking about the bus service that they
were in the business not only to try to provide the service, but also because
they were required to do so in order to receive a certain amount of the federal
gas taxes.
On a
motion by Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr. Hill and carried unanimously, by
a vote of 5-0, the Board approved the request to submit the grant application
for the FTA Section 5309 Discretionary Grant Program.
GROWTH
MANAGEMENT
ELLIS
PURCHASE AND SALES AGREEMENT
Mr. David
Hanson, Public Lands Manager, stated that this was a request to approve a
contract with Mr. Frank Ellis and Ms. Christine Ellis for approximately 88
acres in the Paisley area on County Road 42.
He explained that the property had almost 1000 feet of frontage on
Commr.
Hill asked if they were prohibited from putting the emergency services
communication cell tower on this property.
Mr. Sandy
Minkoff,
Commr.
Stivender asked Mr. Hanson if the amount to be paid was the same as the
appraised amount.
Mr. Hanson
answered that it was slightly higher than the appraised value.
Mr.
Minkoff mentioned that they had cleared all the title issues that were there
and that they had allowed Mr. Ellis to remain on the property for a short
period of time while he relocated. He
also stated that there was a mobile home with a tenant on the property and that
they anticipated the mobile home being removed, although they might have to
work with that tenant to give him a little time to move.
On a
motion by Commr. Hill, seconded by Commr. Stewart and carried unanimously by a
vote of 5-0, the Board approved the request for approval of the Purchase and
Sales Agreement between Lake County and Frank K. Ellis, Trustee, and Christine
C. Ellis, Trustee, and to authorize the Chairman to execute the necessary
closing documents – Commission District 5.
Mr. Frank
Ellis addressed the Board and stated that this had been a long, educational
experience for them, and he congratulated everyone that was involved in this
from the beginning. He also commented
that Mr. Hanson had been fantastic, and that the experience had been very
rewarding.

Mr. Jim Stivender, Jr., Public
Works Director, stated that this was Vacation Petition No. 1108, Donald and

PUBLIC HEARINGS
REZONING
Mr. Wayne Bennett, Planning Director,
Department of Growth Management, placed on the screen the Proof of Publication
for the day’s Rezoning public hearings.
He called their attention to the Consent Agenda.
REZONING CONSENT AGENDA
Commr. Renick wanted clarification on
Tab 3,
Mr. Bennett answered that it was from
the 2004 date, and it would take it through 2009.
Commr. Renick stated that she did not
have a problem with that.
Mr. Sandy Minkoff,
Commr. Renick commented that maybe
they should ask the two other counties that were affected by this DRI if they
were in agreement with it, since it was in the
Commr. Cadwell commented that if it
was a substantial deviation, then he would have a little more concern about it,
but that this just concerned the time frame.
Mr. Bennett stated that with the new
law, they would get three years plus the five years that this provided. He explained that originally, when they submitted
this, they were asking for more time that would have triggered a substantial
deviation, in their opinion. Therefore,
they had suggested that they bring it back under the threshold for substantial
deviation. He noted that they had
already submitted another Notice of Proposed Change (NOPC) to address many more
issues that would be addressed collectively with the other counties very
shortly, such as the addition of some square footage, extension of the
build-out date even further, and other items.
Commr. Cadwell asked that if this
Board decided to give them an additional two years to give them a total of
five, and then they came back under their substantial deviation public hearing,
would the Board then have the final decision to grant that.
Mr. Minkoff responded that the Board
could address it at that time.
The Chairman opened the public
hearing.
The applicant, Mr. John Adams with R
J Whidden & Associates, stated that he understood the confusion with the
Governor’s action, but the only thing they wanted to do was to extend this
Development Order (DO) to 2009, five years from the expiration of 2004. He explained that they had initiated another
NOPC involving many development changes in the program, and they were looking
for a five-year build-out from the time they would get that approved.
No one was present in opposition to
the request.
There being no one else present who
wished to address the Board, the Chairman closed the public hearing.
Mr. Minkoff told the Board that they
needed to give them at least three years, because they let it lapse in 2004, so
if they did not extend it three years, which would get them through today, they
would not get the benefit of the new statute.
He further commented that if the Board approved three, they would get
that plus three more.
Mr. Adams stated that they would be
fine with being given a date certain of December 31, 2009.
On a motion by Commr. Renick,
seconded by Commr. Stivender and carried unanimously by a vote of 5-0, the
Board approved a time extension of the Development Order expiration date to
December 31, 2009, including the three-year extension that was granted by the
legislature this year, of the following:
Ordinance No. 2007-29

Associates
Rezoning Case No. PH28-07-2

On a motion by Commr. Stivender,
seconded by Commr. Hill and carried unanimously, by a vote of 5-0, the Board
approved the Rezoning Consent Agenda, except for Case No. PH28-07-2, which
contained cases that were recommended for approval and which were not
controversial, as follows:

REZONING CASE NO. PH22-07-2 – F &
J DEVELOPERS LLC – FRANK SCALA
TRACKING NO. 32-07-PUD
Mr. Bennett stated that they had
received a letter requesting a 30-day continuance for Case No. PH22-07-2 to a
date specific, which would be July 24.
He explained that the basis for that was that there was at least one
right of way issue that Public Works and the Applicant would need to work out
before it came back for a final action from the Board.
The Chairman opened the public
hearing.
There being no one who wished to
address the Board regarding the postponement, the Chairman closed the public
hearing.
At this time, Commr. Stivender and
Commr. Hill disclosed, for the record, that they had spoken to the applicant or
the applicants’ representatives prior to this meeting regarding this case.
On a motion by Commr. Renick,
seconded by Commr. Stivender and carried unanimously by a vote of 5-0, the
Board postponed Tab 4, Rezoning Case No. PH22-07-2, F & J Developers LLC,
Frank Scala, Tracking No. 32-07-PUD, until July 24, 2007.
REZONING CASE NO. 24-07-1 –
TRACKING NO. 36-07- CFD
Mr. Brian Sheahan, Chief Planner, Planning
and Community Design, stated that this was a rezoning request made by
Commr. Renick inquired about how big
the day care facility would be, and was concerned that it would generate
traffic at the drop off and pick up times.
Mr. Sheahan responded that those
types of issues would be addressed at the site plan review stage, and they
would be limited to the capacity of the road.
The Chairman opened the public
hearing.
There being no one who wished to
address the Board, the Chairman closed the public hearing.
Commr. Hill noted that this was in
the Sunnyside area, and they had an Interlocal that they had worked very diligently
on. She commented that she did not get
any comments from the City or the unincorporated residents opposing this
rezoning, and she felt that this was a good use for the area.
On a motion by Commr. Hill, seconded
by Commr. Stewart and carried unanimously by a vote of 5-0, the Board approved
Ordinance No. 2007-32, Tab 2, Rezoning
Case No. PH24-07-1,
REZONING CASE NO. PH26-07-5 – LAKE
COUNTY PAISLEY FIRE DISTRICT –
FRANK K. ELLIS, TRUSTEE AND CHRISTINE
ELLIS, TRUSTEE – TRACKING
NO. 33-07-CFD
Mr. Sandy Minkoff,
Commr. Cadwell stated that they
staked out where the new site for the tower would be, which was also unsettling
for him. He commented that this was a
beautiful piece of property, and he did not want the tower to be right in the
middle as people were coming in, and he wanted to go back to where they
originally talked about the tower being that he previously was opposed to and
now was not. He further explained that
it would be worse if the tower were placed in the center of the Ellis property
rather than in the corner to some extent, and he thought they should go back to
that. He asked Mr. Minkoff to be sure
that legally they did that.
Mr. Minkoff responded that the zoning
action in front of them would allow the tower anywhere on the parcel, subject
to the variance requirements, which were very minimal. He further noted that the site location then
would be chosen by the Board and the
Mr. Rick Hartenstein, Senior Planner,
Planning and Community Design, Growth Management Department, commented that
that was correct, as long as it met the setbacks that were incorporated in the
variance.
Commr. Renick confirmed that when
PLAAC bought a piece of property, it was rezoned to CFD (Community Facilities
District). She asked why they did not
portion out the part that they wanted to be CFD rather than rezone the whole 88
acres.
Mr. Brian Sheahan answered that if
PLAAC was buying the property for conservation, it might be placed in a
conservation district, and that parks could only be placed in CFD, and there
was a distinction between conservation uses and park uses.
Mr. Minkoff added that their goal
right now would be, as they were acquiring them, to get them properly zoned to
make sure that they did not have problems, so until the new zoning
classifications were done, they would have to put them all into CFD.
Mr. Hartenstein stated that this was
Rezoning Case No. PH26-07-5; the owners were Frank K. Ellis, Trustee, and
Christine C. Ellis, Trustee; and the Applicant was Lake County Public
Safety. He explained that the property
was located in the Rural Village and the Rural Land Use District, and that the
request was to rezone the approximately 88 acres from Agriculture (A) and
Planned Commercial (CP) to Community Facility District (CFD) to allow a fire
station, emergency services communication cell tower, and conservation/passive
recreational uses. He stated that the
Applicant was requesting to rezone this property to correct a nonconforming
zoning district for the fire station and permit the placement of a 480-foot
self-supporting lattice telecommunication tower on the site to provide
emergency first responder communications for the surrounding northeastern area
of Lake County; utilize the existing home and mobile home as Park Ranger
caretaker’s units, office space, educational classroom space, and/or storage as
determined by the County Manager or designee; and provide conservation/passive
recreational uses for the citizens of Lake County. He commented that the recommendation of staff
and the Zoning Board was approval of the request.
Commr. Stivender confirmed that the
tower would be the replacement for the one that went down in Royal Trails
during the tornado.
The Chairman opened the public
hearing.
There being no individuals who wished
to address the Board, the Chairman closed the public hearing.
On a motion by Commr. Stivender,
seconded by Commr. Hill and carried unanimously by a vote of 5-0, the Board approved
Ordinance No. 2007-33, Tab 5, Rezoning Case No. PH26-07-5, Lake County Paisley
Fire District, Tracking No. 33-07-CFD.
REPORTS –
PROPOSED ORDINANCE CREATING CHAPTER
2, ARTICLE IV RE: LOBBYING
Mr. Sandy Minkoff,
Commr. Renick stated that she wanted
to add the Department of Growth Management to the list of people that lobbyists
had to register before seeing, because she thought the purpose of the ordinance
was so people would know what was going on as far as growth issues.
Commr. Cadwell did not think that
would be a good idea, because it would be cumbersome.
Ms. Cindy Hall,
Mr. Minkoff stated that he did not
know how feasible it would be every time a lobbyist helped someone get a
building permit, for example, that they register. He suggested that if they wanted to go that
route, that they limit it to division or department directors or some higher
level employee as opposed to just every employee.
Commr. Cadwell stated that it would
almost give the appearance that the Board did not trust the employees and would
not give a positive impression.
Commr. Renick asked if it would be
safer to advertise the ordinance leaving language in that included staff and
then have the discussion later.
Commr. Cadwell stated that he would
prefer to have Mr. Minkoff come back with language to similar to what Commr.
Renick said to identify what type of employee it would be.
Mr. Minkoff clarified with the Board
that they wanted to add employees that were division directors or above,
attorneys, and manager status to the language in the ordinance.
Commr. Cadwell stated that they would
not take any action, and they would just reschedule it and bring it back after
Mr. Minkoff looked into the language.
REPORTS –
BUDGET RETREAT
Ms. Cindy Hall,
REPORTS – COMMISIONER HILL – VICE
CHAIRMAN AND DISTRICT 1
IMPACT FEE DISCUSSIONS
Commr. Hill stated that she was
receiving a lot of e-mails and phone messages and that there were a lot of
theories, opinions, reports, and studies regarding impact fees. She wanted to know if the Board would feel
more comfortable if they included at the Budget Workshop on June 28 some impact
fee discussion and maybe have the attorney give them an opinion on some of the
information that they had been receiving.
Mr. Minkoff stated that he and the
County Manager had set up some meetings with the home builders, but that he did
not think that they would be ready by this week to have those meetings and
report to the Board. He commented that
perhaps after they sit and talk with them, they could discuss that with the
Board.
Commr. Hill asked Mr. Minkoff if they
would be receiving an opinion from him before the Board went to the adoption
hearing for any of the impact fees.
Mr. Minkoff responded that they
would, and he had also sent a copy of the home builders report to their outside
counsel, and he would be discussing it with them and formulating an opinion
with them as well.
REPORTS – COMMISSIONER RENICK –
DISTRICT 2
PLAZA COLLINA
Commr. Renick stated that she thought
they needed a legal opinion as to whether or not there had been significant
changes enough to warrant bringing the Plaza Collina back to the Board. She commented that one thing that jumped out
was that it was approved with the town homes, but she did not think the town
homes were any longer in the plan.
Mr. Minkoff stated that he did not
think he wanted to do that today, but that he was glad to sit down with staff
and review that.
Commr. Renick also wanted to look
into thresholds that they had briefly touched on, such as how many square feet.
Commr. Cadwell stated that the
problem now was whether they could change their LDR’s (Land Development
Regulations).
Mr. Minkoff responded that they could
make changes to the LDR’s that were consistent with the current Comp Plan, and
the process was that they would go through the LPA (Local Planning Agency) and
come back to the Board with a recommendation.
REPORTS – COMMISSIONER STIVENDER
– DISTRICT 3
STANDARDS FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT
Commr. Stivender related that about
a year ago, Mr. Scott Blankenship from the Zoning Board and Mr. Sean Parks from
the LPA came to her with some design standards for non-residential development,
which were focused on
Ms. King stated that she had been
working on those standards diligently and had them on hold until the
Comprehensive Plan was completed. She
wanted to postpone any LDR amendments until the Comp Plan was done. She mentioned that she had been working with
Ms. Dottie Keedy, Economic Growth and Redevelopment Director, however, on some
more county-wide standards that were considered economic-development friendly,
and could show those to the Board.
REZONING OF PARKS
Commr. Stivender, as liaison to the
Parks and Trails Board, informed the Board that the Parks and Trails Board had
come up with a process with Growth Management and Mr. Bobby Bonilla, Parks and
Trails Director, to rezone some of the parks that had not been rezoned yet,
such as PEAR (Palatlakaha
Environmental Agricultural Reserve) and
ADJOURNMENT
There
being no further business to be brought to the attention of the Board, the
meeting was adjourned at 10:18 a.m.
