DEPARTMENT
OF GROWTH MANAGEMENT
ADMINISTRATION
Ms.
Carol Stricklin, AICP, Director, Department of Growth Management, opened the
presentation for the Department by stating they would be informing the Board of
the work they perform and how they serve the citizens of
Ms.
Stricklin mentioned that in terms of managing the department, departmental
priorities are set and that they are the conduit between their staff, the
Ms.
Stricklin stated that their priorities are customer service, completion of the
Comprehensive Plan, and partnering with other Departments to look at financial
feasibility, concurrency and capital improvements.
Ms.
Amye King, Deputy Director of Growth Management, introduced the Division
Directors as they began their presentations.
OFFICE
OF IMPACT FEES
Ms.
Angie Thompson, Impact Fee Coordinator, reported that the Impact Fee Program
consists of road, education, fire and rescue, and library impact fees. She stated that two employees make up the
Impact Fee Program, herself and Mr. Ed O’Malley, Impact Fee Technician. She reported that the Impact Fee budget was
less than $135,000 and was primarily made up of salaries and benefits. She explained that operating expenses
consisted of about 7 percent, and those expenses cover the contract they have
in place for reviewing studies, getting legal opinions and ongoing
consultations for issues that come up throughout the year. She stated that they have funds programmed
for additional staff to assist for prepayment rushes, for continuing education
as available, and customer service training for the impact fee technician. She noted they have administrative costs for
printing prepayment certificates, providing staff support for the impact fee
committee, and money for ITE Manuals for commercial impact fee
calculations. When impact fees are
collected, she stated the County retains 3 percent of those fees for
administrative costs, noting that for Fiscal Year 2007 through the end of
August that amount was approximately $280,000.
She stated that the cities retain 3 percent of what they collect for the
County for their collection costs.
Mr.
Ed O’Malley, Impact Fee Technician, explained the duties of their Division
which consisted of improving internal and external customer service and plan
reviews in CDPlus, by daily reviewing all residential permits to assess impact
fees that may or may not be due on a particular application which gives them
the opportunity to apply impact fees to the proper accounts, as well as
performing a similar process on all commercial permits on a weekly basis as
there are fewer commercial impact fees than residential. Calendar year-to-date, Mr. O’Malley informed
the Board that they have reviewed approximately 2700 applications for impact
fees for permits and roughly 2500 of those were residential. He stated that another responsibility of
their division was to ensure that the residential concurrency accounts are
updated to reflect credits and allowable permits and to monitor the residuals
for the remaining credits due. He
mentioned that they also make certain that prepayment certificates that have
been presented have been applied appropriately and have been documented in the
prepayment database. With respect to
municipality tracking, Mr. O’Malley explained that of the fourteen
municipalities in
Ms.
Thompson stated that in addition to the information Mr. O’Malley presented that
he was also going to be taking on the recording responsibilities for the Impact
Fee Committee including taking minutes for those meetings. She stated that Mr. O’Malley’s position
allowed her to work on administrative duties such as ordinance interpretation
and application and administration, stating their division works very closely
with the
Ms.
Thompson introduced new approaches for improving customer service, one of which
was a frequently asked questions section on the impact fee page of the website,
and another was a Benefit District GIS Layer located on the website zoning map
and explained that by entering an alternate key number for a certain property,
it will indicate which road benefit and park benefit district the subject
parcel was found. She stated that in the
future, due to changes in the Ordinances, they would like to hold an impact fee
roundtable with the municipalities collecting fees for the County to ensure
everyone is on the same page with how the changes affect them and how they run
the program. She explained that they are
looking toward having a centralized prepayment process and reported that there
is an Administrative Ordinance coming before the Board before the end of the
year containing language which adds payments back in and to streamline that
process keeping it in-house, which would make it easier for people to
accomplish their goal.
OFFICE
OF PUBLIC LANDS MANAGEMENT
Mr.
David Hansen, Public Lands Manager, reported that they have closed on 8
properties ranging in size from 8.5 acres, for use as a combined preservation
and storm water project, up to 800 acres of green swamp; they have partnered on
a large acquisition, the Neighborhood Lakes in the Eastern part of the County;
and have given a grant to the City of Clermont for a property on Lake
Minneola. He also mentioned they have
one property donated, the lake bottoms in
Commr.
Renick commented that the County owned 37 properties and had reached the point
where citizens calling in to offer property for acquisition by the County
should be informed to submit their application, but at the present time the
County is not acquiring land, but that their application will be kept on file
for future possibilities.
DIVISION
OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DESIGN
Mr.
Brian Sheahan, AICP, Director, stated that the Division has a broad array of
responsibilities, including environmental, growth, economic and planning
issues, and had many tools to fulfill those responsibilities by having a
landscape architect, a GIS manager, an architect, many planners , as well as
administrative staff and developmental review staff to assist them. He noted that the planners, Mr. Rick
Hartenstein, Ms. Stacy Allen, and Ms. Karen Rosick, were responsible for
reviewing applications for consistency
with the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations; drafting the 2025
Comprehensive Plan; and Amendments to Land Development Regulations. He reported that they have reviewed over 350
applications this year, including Comprehensive Plan Amendments and were
basically on a moratorium on Comprehensive Plan Amendments until they complete
the proposed Comprehensive Plan.
Ms.
Karen Ginsberg, Senior Planner, stated that planners perform various tasks,
such as providing customer service to answer questions of the public relating
to development options on their property; educating and involving them with the
application process; reviewing their site plans and plats for consistency with
the Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Regulations and any relevant
ordinances; evaluating rezoning and conditional use permits for consistency;
and taking approved, or denied, recommendations to the Zoning Board and then to
the County Commissioners.
Mr.
Francis Franco, GIS Project Manager, explained that he provides spatial
analysis for planning projects using Geographic Information Systems (GIS),
technical expertise in automating planning, zoning and environmental analysis,
combining the various layers that the GIS employees produce, superimposing them
over each other and analyzing them. He
related that the GIS produces an output that the planners can review and
recommend to the various bodies of the planning agency and to the Board. He then offered a power point presentation of
how the GIS produces layers using various data applications. He stated this
process allows the planners to perform more administrative tasks as opposed to
dealing with technicalities and intricacies of GIS.
Mr.
Grant Wenrick, Landscape Architect, explained that his main task was to review
landscape plans, administer the tree removal permits, and to update the
landscape LDRs and tree removal permits.
He explained that in reviewing landscape plans they have developed a 28
question checklist, and that he answers questions from residents who call in
about landscaping. As part of the review, he coordinates with Code Enforcement
who take the landscape plans with them to be sure items are installed to the
proper specifications and then go back 11 months after the landscaping is
complete to assure the items are living.
This gives the developer a chance to go to the contractor to seek
replacements under the one-year warranty on landscaping, which is a very
proactive approach to landscape review and enforcement. He stated that he is also responsible for
administering tree removal permits, and to date there have been 65 tree removal
permits beginning January 1, which represents 9,000 tree removals in the
County. He noted if they were replanted,
it would result in a $5 million impact on the trees that were removed, noting
that the builder is required to replace one-third of those. He commented that he updates the LDRs and
tree removal permits, and rather than have a quantity based system, they are
working on replacing tree quality, trying to increase the character and
preserve more in
Karen
Ginsberg, Planner/Architect, stated that she performs the same tasks as the
other planners, but also provides design expertise which includes reviewing
ordinances to make sure the design complies with the ordinance, noting that
they currently do not have design regulations for
Ms.
Jennifer Myers, Development Review Supervisor, informed the Board that the
Development Review Staff consists of two full time and two part-time office
associates, Ms. Rosemary Martin, Ms. Deborah Parker, Ms. Kelly Messer and Ms.
Krista Wright. She stated that they are
the main contact for people who have an interest in development in Lake County,
whether by phone or at the counter, and that they make it their goal to provide
the best customer service by checking the website, providing information and
directing them to the proper person to answer a question. She reported that they accept all
applications and ensure that they are distributed throughout the County to be
reviewed by the appropriate staff, noting that the review is not always just in
the Planning and Community Design Division, but that Public Works, Zoning,
Public Services, Solid Waste and Emergency Management also play a big
role. She explained that a development review
meeting is scheduled every other Thursday with the applicant to review staff
comments, noting that the DRS agenda and staff comments are posted on the
Division’s County website. She commented
that it is important to know that the Development Review Staff not only
processes applications for planning, but also assist the customers making the
connection to other staff departments and agencies.
Mr.
Sheahan referred to the slide presentation and named those shown as Ms. Sherry
Ross, Ms. Donna Bohrer, and Ms. Ann Corson, who are the Division’s Hearing
Coordinators. He stated that the Hearing
Coordinators publish notices making sure all legal requirements are met, create
meeting minutes and prepare agendas for the Zoning Board as well as the local
planning agencies and Mt. Plymouth-Sorrento Advisory Committee and ensure that
all the administrative needs of the Division are met from greeting customers to
ordering supplies and paying invoices.
He mentioned that his Administrative Assistant, Ms. Joan Greany, was not
pictured on the presentation.
Mr.
Sheahan explained that an added function of his Division was the Emergency
Operations Center Support, and his division provided over 420 hours to the
citizens of
DIVISION
OF ZONING
Ms.
Terrie Diesbourg, Director of Zoning, displayed the current Zoning maps which
were very old and worn, and explained the project for replacement of the old
maps. She stated that the Zoning
Division is the entry point to the development permit process for
Ms.
Renee Hull, Customer Service Representative, explained the duties of her
position stating that she meets new people daily, logs them into Lobby User,
guides them to the correct department, makes sure they have all information
needed to obtain a zoning clearance or building permit, as well as other
projects as assigned.
Ms.
Diesbourg informed the Board that in 2007, the Division issued 4,393 zoning
clearances. By way of the slide
presentation, she introduced Ms. Natali Trejo, Associate Planner Trainee, Ms.
Debby Rosenmund and Ms. Mickie Schwartz, both of whom are Associate Planners
and Ms. Lorena McCarroll, Associate Planner Trainee. She stated that in addition to all the other
permits, they also issue variances and have completed 139 this year.
Ms.
Anita Greiner, Chief Planner, stated they are responsible for presenting cases
before the Board of Adjustment, consisting of seven board members appointed by
the Commission, who serve four year terms. She commented that the meetings are
held the first Thursday of each month at 1:00 p.m., and the Board of Adjustment
was authorized to grant variances to Land Development Regulations, but are not
authorized to grant variances to anything that is inconsistent with the Lake
County Comprehensive Plan or to any uses that are not permitted in the zoning
district. She stated that the Board of
Adjustment has the ability to condition a
variance, and that those conditions become land development regulation; if there are violations
to the conditions they would be handled by the
Code Enforcement Division. She reported
that they receive applications at the zoning counter and check them to be sure
that proof has been submitted showing the application has met the intent of the
Code and a substantial hardship or that the Land Development Regulation creates a
violation of principles of fairness. Once proven, she can recommend approval of
the variance request. She mentioned that
they present the cases before the Board of Adjustment, who make the final
determination and an appeal of the decision must be done in Circuit Court.
Mr.
Paul Simmons, Planner, stated he processes all of the lot splits which come
through the Zoning Division and that the County currently has provisions for
three types of lot splits – the minor lot split, the family lot split and the
agricultural lot split – noting that each of these splits have different
attributes which make them useful in certain situations. He commented that the agricultural lot split
was useful for someone who had a large tract of land and wanted to divide it
into 40 acre parcels, which is as small as you can go on agricultural lot
splits, and reduce the size of their land to make it more manageable, or are
allowed to grant the parcels as an inheritance to someone. He explained that the family density
exception was useful to someone who had an ascending or descending family
member 18 years of age who intended to build a home within a year of performing
the lot split, noting that the split has deed restrictions placed on it which
restrict the sale or lease of the land immediately after the lot split is performed. He commented that the minor lot split allows
the creation of two parcels from the original parent parcel and these lots must
run on a publicly maintained road and must meet all applicable regulations from
Lake County Land Development Regulations.
Commr.
Renick questioned how follow-up of these splits was maintained to be sure
someone was not abusing the process by selling the property before the five
year ownership term had expired.
Ms.
Greiner explained that when a family lot split is performed, they record a
final development order and also record deed restrictions in the Public Records
of Lake County so that when someone closes on the property they know that they
are not allowed to sell the property for five years from the date of closing.
Mr.
Minkoff stated that this creates a title defect and often new lenders will not
loan on the property because they see it as a violation. He commented that when a violation occurs,
they usually will go back to the Variance Board because someone is trying to
get a variance on that restriction.
Ms.
Diesbourg mentioned staff members shown on the slide presentation who were Ms.
Shelia Short, Senior Planner; Ms. Karen Chester, Associate Planner; and Ms.
Anna Ely, Public Hearing Coordinator who handles all the public hearing duties
for the Board of Adjustment and also backs up the Customer Service
Representatives as needed. She stated
that the Zoning Division provided 564 hours of assistance to the
Ms.
Diesbourg commented that the new approach to customer service would include
informing realtors as to Land Development Regulations, enabling them to provide
better information to citizens purchasing land.
She stated that she and Ms. Greiner taught 14 informational classes to
257 people, the majority of which were comprised of realtors. She mentioned that Ms. Sheila Short inputs
new subdivisions into Log User in CDPlus, and this routes people to the
Building Department, bypassing the Zoning counter. She reported that they have been approved in
the new budget process to upgrade three Associate Planner positions to Planner,
stating that as the requirements for upgrade the Associate Planner must
complete Level 1 Fundamentals of Code Enforcement, Zoning Inspection
Certification Test, and must have been an Associate Planner for three
years. She reported that they are moving
forward with online permitting which will allow citizens to complete an
application online, scan in their site plan and email to Zoning their whole
package which can be paid online with a credit card. She commented that they have been working on
the recognized parcel layer since 2005 and mentioned that GIS has converted
27,384 documents into the GIS layer, creating parcels, and have scanned 39,571
pages which are attached to those documents allowing Zoning to convert from
paper maps to digital maps. By using the
recognized parcel layer, citizens of
Ms.
Janie Barron, Associate Planner, demonstrated the recognized parcel layer
process on the computer, showing the technique of searching through this
database. She explained that searches
can be made by using addresses, alternate key numbers, parcel identification
number, owner’s name, subdivision name, Section, Township or Range. She then went through the process adding
layers one at a time which reflected everything around the property, easements,
developments, boundaries, and roads. She
stated that the customer can draw a site plan of how they wished to develop the
property. By using this site plan and the
process, Ms. Barron stated that they could visualize what can be done with the
site plan and approve setbacks or rearrange the site plan to meet requirements
and apply for a variance if needed.
DIVISION
OF BUILDING SERVICES
Mr.
Dale Greiner, Building Director, stated that they verify what is being done
with respect to the Building Code of the State of
Mr.
Greiner explained that Section 553.79 addresses permitting, applications,
issuance, plan review and inspection requirements of the Code and that the
Building official is unable to issue a permit unless he has made sure it has
gone through these plan reviews. He
continued by explaining that Section 553.79 states that the actual building
official has to issue a permit for a single family residence within 30 days
after receiving the applications, reporting that Lake County Building
Department issues single family residence permits within 3 weeks 70 percent of
the time, if the application is sufficient.
They also work with applicants who have deficient applications.
Mr.
Greiner reported that Section 553.80 was the area allowing the establishment of
fees and all that non-expended balances have to be transferred year to
year. The fee structure for the Building
Department is not part of the general fund, but rather a separate fund
supporting itself and is based on square footage. He also stated that these funds can only be
spent on the enforcement of the Florida Building Code and cannot be used on
Planning and Zoning, inspections of public buildings at a reduced fee, programs
not related to the enforcement of the Florida Building Code, enforcement and
implementation of any other ordinance, and an accounting must be provided for
oversight practices.
Ms.
Carmen Carroll, Office Manager, stated that the administration team manages the
daily operation and administration of the Building Division, establishes
workflow, policy and procedures between permitting plan review and inspection,
and works closely with contractors and property owners to establish positive
approaches to customer service using the current statutes, ordinances and
technology. She commented that they prepare
the Building Services quarterly newsletters, do billing, and give informative
presentations onsite and offsite with regard to licensing, permitting and
inspections, and manage the Division’s web pages. She had Ms. Tracey Isbill demonstrate the web
permit look-ups, which will inform the person if a permit has been issued and
who the contractor was, and will connect to the Property Appraiser’s website
for GIS mapping. She mentioned that they
work closely with EOC by having their inspectors in the field assessing the
event for the citizens. She noted that
they have an emergency plan in place with permitting and plan reviewers
stationed at mobile locations to assist people so they do not have to drive in
for permits and information, and also prepare location maps of the damaged
areas, working very closely with the Property Appraiser’s office to make sure
all affected areas and citizens have been located and assisted. She explained that they also oversee CDPlus software
maintenance and security, specifying that this software is used by Zoning,
Planning and Community Design, Public Works, Code Enforcement, Solid Waste
Assessment, and Fire Assessment; coordinate and perform updates and information
for the Divisions as needed; and have a team member who trains new users in the
navigation of the CDPlus software.
Ms.
Tracey Isbill, Permitting Specialist, performs training for the Building
Division for the Permitting Specialists.
She stated that a Permitting Specialist is divided into six different
sections which creates a customer friendly flow, and those sections are: intake, where customers are greeted and
assisted with forms and submittals that are needed to begin their permitting
process along with the assigning them an application number; data processing
verifies accuracy of all documents and compiles the legal documents obtained
from various agencies, verifies the completeness of the plan reviews by all the
departments, calculates the fees and any other applicable fees; expert
permitting where citizens submit their permit if they do not need a plan
review, where the permit is processed and issued while they are waiting;
scanning section, which scans all documents into the database and indexes each
page into individual document type providing easy access for public records;
phone center, which consists of specialists who are designated to answer
incoming calls related to permitting requirements, scheduling inspections and
answering any questions the customer has as well as processing applications
which have been submitted on the internet; and cashiers, which handle the fees
related to the permit and provide the customer with documents for the
jobsite. She explained that all six
areas are cross-trained to provide daily customer service through guidance of the
general public, contractors, and other agencies regarding permitting
inspections; plan review; and contractor inquiries.
Mr.
Skip Nemecek, Chief Plans Examiner, stated that almost every permit needs some
type of plan review such as backyard decks, room additions, entire
subdivisions, Publix Food Stores, and entire malls. Mr. Nemecek had Mr. Greiner exhibit a 50-page
roll of plans which have now been placed on a disk, noting that they have moved
toward the electronic age with their plan review process, and have issued
permits online. To perform a review, Mr.
Nemecek stated they would pull up all the plans sent to them by the FDEP (FTP)
sites without using any paper, and they can respond, markup, and use the
program itself to calculate measurements.
The examiners can then digitally sign them, lock them down so that they
alone can print them, and a raised seal is placed on it. He commented that this process saves paper
and time. He explained that for customer
service, they have three different Divisions performing their plan review -
over-the-counter express situation, residential group and commercial group by
trades such as electric, building, plumbing, mechanical, and the fire
team. He stated that all examiners are
licensed by the State; so the customer would deal with a person knowledgeable
of their needs and obtain the correct answers.
He reported that the customer can do most of the review when they
initially come in.
Mr.
Greiner explained the inspection process after people have actually received the
permit and are in the process of constructing a particular project. He noted that the Plan Examiners, and the
Building Officials are all licensed under Chapter 468. He mentioned that all Lake County Inspectors
are multi-disciplined, having knowledge of more than one category such as
building, plumbing and electrical, versus some surrounding counties who have
single discipline inspectors. He then
introduced the Chief Inspectors, Mr. Al Sikes, Mr. Ron Schwab, Mr. Jim
Copenhaver, and Mr. Jay Dagner, all of whom are multi-disciplined, and noted
that there are twelve inspectors in the field.
He stated that the inspectors perform all their inspections using
blackberries which has eliminated paperwork, and that each inspector is sent to
a zone where he is licensed for that inspection.
Mr.
Tony Lopresto, Licensing Investigator,
reported to the Board that
DIVISION
OF CODE ENFORCEMENT
Mr.
Ron Collodi, Director, stated that the Division consists of himself, Mr. Jim
Wills, Chief Code Enforcement Officer; Mr. Lou Gisone, Code Enforcement
Supervisor; six zone officers; three countywide officers; and an administrative
staff of four employees. He noted that
Mr. Jimmy Kirby, Senior Code Enforcement Officer handles Conditional Use Permit
inspections, checking them annually to bring them into compliance; unsafe
housing and standard housing inspections for the Building Department; and
performs commercial site inspections. He
explained that if someone makes an anonymous complaint by either calling or
emailing Code Enforcement, that person will be informed as to what the Division
can or cannot do. He stated that if the
case does not come into compliance it is sent for a hearing before a Special
Magistrate who will set a compliance date, and if the compliance is not obtained,
then he sets a daily fine becoming a lien, which is the property of the
County. He then described some of the
common complaints relating to items on property within the County, including
inoperable vehicles, old appliances, furniture, debris not stored in an
enclosed structure, trash or garbage on the property, and oversized vehicles in
excess of 12,000.
Mr.
Collodi stated that when they find structures being built without permits
during their inspection, they are reported to the Building Department and would
be required to obtain a building permit.
He stated that any overgrown property on less than an acre shall not be
allowed. He explained that the
Commercial Site Inspector is responsible for inspection of approved commercial
construction projects, county roadways, storm water systems and other
commercial construction projects. He
reported rather than cite someone for a violation due to Mother Nature, they
coordinate with Emergency Management in the event of a natural disaster, and
will perform safety inspections, obtain staff volunteers for call centers, and
suspend normal Code Enforcement activity during that time period.
Mr.
Collodi reported that they have some new approaches to customer service by
decreasing initial inspections from 7-9 days down to 1-3 business days,
reducing the time on Special Magistrate hearings from at least 210 days before
being heard to 75 days or less, and by reducing the lien amount to a maximum of
50 percent from being 100 per cent complaint driven. He commented that customer service is their
main goal and that currently they work five days a week, eight hours a day, and
pay overtime on weekends and Sundays, but starting next week they are going to
an eleven hour shift, seven days a week, with no overtime, through alternative
work schedules and working four days longer shifts.
ADJOURNMENT
There
being no further business to be brought to the attention of the Board, the
meeting was adjourned at 3:20 p.m.
