PUBLIC HEARINGS/TIMES CERTAIN
PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT/ORDINANCES
At 9:00 a.m., the Chairman announced that the advertised time had arrived for the public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan Amendments.
Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, stated that the ordinance is before the Board that will adopt the Comprehensive Plan Amendments. In response to the Stipulated Settlement Agreement, the County is required to take remedial action, in order to implement that Settlement Agreement. The remedial action was set out in the Settlement Agreement in Exhibit B, with Exhibit B now being before the Board as the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Ms. Lustgarten stated that, on Page 3, Line 16 of the ordinance, the first act is the repeal of Ordinance No. 1992-10. She further stated that on Page 6, the effective date will be March 2, 1993.
Mr. Mark Knight, Principal Planner, appeared before the Board to discuss the Comprehensive Plan Amendments, and stated that the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) issued a Statement of Intent finding the Lake County Comprehensive Plan Amendment dated November 3, 1992, not in compliance with Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes. The Lake County Comprehensive Plan Amendment dated February 5, 1993, implementing the executed Stipulated Settlement
Agreement approved by the Board on January 26, 1993, addresses issues raised by the Department of Community Affairs (DCA).
Mr. Knight referred to the following pages and clarified the changed language:
Page I-3, and Page I-4, the new paragraphs that state "Additionally, industrial development including light and heavy industrial...". There were no questions by the Board members.
Commr. Swartz referred to Page I-2, where it lists the Green Swamp designations, and stated that MUQD (Mixed Use Quality Development), Commercial, Industrial, and Rural need to be removed and placed in line with the other designations.
Mr. Knight continued by referring to the following pages and clarifying the changed language:
Page I-4, under Suburban Area (Up to a maximum of (3) dwelling units per 1 acre), the policy has been stated (Policy 1-1A.2).
Page I-4, new paragraph, "In order to provide the necessary commercial and professional....", planned commercial has been struck from the paragraph, because it is a type of zoning.
Page I-4, new paragraph, "Light industrial development shall be an allowable use.....", planned industrial development has been struck.
Page I-5, Rural Area, the sentence stating that the County shall allow a density up to one dwelling unit per two acres in the rural area has been struck.
Page I-5, new paragraph, "In order to provide necessary commercial services...", the word "planned" has been struck from this paragraph, along with the sentence that stated the Lake County Planned Development Regulations shall include criteria for planned commercial development.
Page I-5, new paragraph, "Light industrial development shall be an allowable use...", the wording "and planned industrial" has been struck from this sentence.
Page I-7 - I-8, Policy 1-1.11: "Treatment of Property that is Contained Within More Than One Land Use Category", on November 3, 1992, Semi Rural Future Urban and Rural was deleted, and adjacent less intense was added. Staff also added (excluding the WRPA, GSACSC and public resource lands), since the November 3, 1992 meeting.
Commr. Bailey discussed the addition of (excluding the WRPA, GSACSC and public resource lands), and stated that this issue came up through comments made at the November 3, 1992 meeting, but it was never discussed with the County Attorney, or the Board. He questioned this section being added at this time, because this is a major change. He stated that the Board did not address the
comments on this issue at the November 3, 1992 meeting, because the Board wanted to move forward with the November 3rd amendment, with those changes that DCA outlined, and this was not a part of those changes. Commr. Bailey stated that he opposes the inclusion of this language.
Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, stated that this issue was not discussed with DCA, but was only a response to the comments made at the meeting on November 3, 1992. She stated that she and Mr. Knight discussed some of those comments, but this issue has not been before the Board, or DCA. She further stated that DCA could consider this language and feel that it is too broad and will permit intrusion.
Mr. Knight stated that the language is based on the written comments in the Notice of Intent submitted by DCA, and that he has not contacted anyone with DCA to discuss it.
Commr. Hanson stated that, in the Wekiva Protection Area, it is completely understood that there will be no intrusion in that area.
Commr. Bailey stated that his concern is the Green Swamp, with the Board resolving the aggregation issue, with the intent that the individual would have the right to use whichever of the densities, urban, urban expansion, or suburban. He stated that the language being included by staff at this date was never an issue at any time.
Ms. Lustgarten stated that this issue was not brought up during the Settlement Agreement negotiations with DCA, and was only a response to the November 3, 1992 amendment that was adopted, but the language being presented today was not included in that amendment. She stated that, because of the fact that this issue was raised during the November 3, 1992 meeting, effectively puts the County on notice that this issue may be raised once again, although it was never discussed in the Settlement Agreement negotiations.
Commr. Swartz questioned whether the language already reviewed by Mr. Knight is the result of the Notice of Intent relative to the November 3, 1992 amendment, and Mr. Knight acknowledged that it was.
Mr. Knight continued the discussion by referring to the following:
Page I-20, Table - V-1, and Page I-21, Table - V-2, located in the Housing Element and reviewed by DCA. The tables were copies and placed in the Future Land Use Element, so that it would be easier to reference by DCA.
Page II-11, Policy 2-2.6: "Establish a Concurrency Management System and Adequate Facilities Ordinance". Staff left the date February 1992.
Mr. Knight stated that the above language includes all of the changes that are different between the November 3, 1992 amendment and the one before the Board today.
Commr. Hanson had questions regarding the vesting ordinance, and Ms. Lustgarten stated that this amendment sets the policy for that ordinance. Ms. Lustgarten stated that she will be bringing to the Board a summary of the case law and what the statutory standards are for vesting.
At this time, Commr. Swartz opened the meeting to public comment on the proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, as a result of the Settlement Agreement with DCA.
Mr. Dale Ladd appeared before the Board and stated that he owns property that is bisected by the Green Swamp. He stated that his 48 acres are bisected by a section line, one side which is urban expansion (four (4) units per acre), and one side which is the Green Swamp (transition - one (1) unit per acre). Mr. Ladd stated that all 48 acres look alike, a dead orange grove, and there is no swamp on it. He discussed the issue involving Policy 1-1.11, and the urban expansion land use category being allowed up to 1,320 feet into the adjacent less intense land use category. He stated that, if the language is changed today, he will only be allowed to use 20 out of 48 acres. He stated for the record that he is very concerned about this, and hopes that the Board will give this
further consideration. Mr. Ladd questioned the 60/40 rule, and requested clarification on how the previous rules apply to the new rules.
Ms. Lustgarten stated that, until DCA, in a rule making process, which would be a public hearing, approves the County's Comprehensive Plan, those existing rules would continue in the Green Swamp. She stated that, in the Settlement Agreement with DCA, it provides that they will initiate that rule making process within 45 days from the adoption of the ordinance.
Ms. Cecelia Bonifay, Attorney representing a number of intervenors in the current litigation between the County and DCA, as well as other property owners, appeared before the Board and stated that, although she has filed individual Notices of Appearance, she will file a summary list today of those she represents.
Ms. Bonifay stated that she would confine her comments primarily to the residential impact of the Stipulated Settlement Agreement, as well as the vested rights issue.
Ms. Bonifay discussed Page I-8, Policy 1-1.11, regarding the 1,320 foot rule, and she urged the Board to remove the language that has been inserted by staff, as follows: (excluding the WRPA, GSACSC and public resource lands). She stated that this language was never brought up during the negotiations, and never brought before the DCA. She stated that, if this change is submitted to DCA, they may or may not have problems with it, because it was not submitted to them on January 26, 1993. The alternative would be to drop the language in parentheses, and leave adjacent less intense land use categories, because there is no longer a Semi Rural Future Urban and Rural classification. The language in parentheses can then be re-addressed at the Comprehensive Plan amendment hearing on March 23, 1993, and can be discussed with DCA. Ms. Bonifay stated that the public has not been put on notice of this issue, and that the public is under the assumption that the Board will be passing
what was presented in the January 26, 1993 Settlement Agreement and sent to DCA.
Discussion occurred regarding the language that was presented November 3, 1992, with Ms. Lustgarten presenting the following as that language: "...uses allowed in the Urban, Urban Expansion, and Suburban land use categories are allowable up to 1320 feet into the adjacent less intense land use categories without a comprehensive plan amendment...".
Ms. Bonifay explained that other changes have been made since November 3, 1992, but only as a result of ongoing settlement negotiations between the County, DCA and the intervenors, or limited to staff changes. She stated that, during the 19 months of negotiations, this issue (the language in parentheses) was never put on the table, and if this had been an issue, it could have been negotiated between January 26, 1993, and March 2, 1993.
Ms. Bonifay continued by discussing Page I-9, and expressed concern with the placement of performance criteria in the standards, which should be in the LDRs, back into the Comprehensive Plan. She stated that, in all of the land use classifications, the Board has put the percent impervious, along with the building heights.
Ms. Lustgarten responded by stating that this language was negotiated with Mr. Jake Varn, Carlton, Fields, Ward, Emmanuel, Smith & Cutler, and DCA at a number of meetings, and was requested and agreed upon.
Ms. Bonifay discussed Page 1-11, 4. Future Employment Centers, and stated that she argued this issue when it was discussed with DCA, and the issue of a center being located within 1/2 mile or less of an interchange of the Florida Turnpike, and not being larger than 640 acres.
Ms. Lustgarten stated that this is part of the Settlement Agreement, and that there is only one future employment center reflected on the existing plan, and any subsequent employment centers will have to go through the amendment process. This language only applies to the one specific future employment center that is on the plan.
Clarification was made to the language on Page I-11, 4., b. (2), deleting the wording "adjacent to".
Ms. Bonifay referred to Page I-22, regarding suburban and the timing criteria, and stated that she feels DCAs stated intent is to decrease urban sprawl, but she feels it will have a more significant impact, and will be difficult to work with, and that the language is not clear. She stated that she did inform Mr. Varn of these concerns during negotiations.
Ms. Bonifay stated that the language before the Board is more restrictive than any State rules, and once the Comprehensive Plan is applied, there will be too many specifics that should be in the LDRs, and every time a minor change needs to be made to include some of the transportation charts, or DOT changes their charts, the Board will have to go through a Comprehensive Plan amendment and, it will involve more time and expense for the taxpayers. She stated that this will be a very costly and cumbersome document to implement. She then discussed the progress of development in Lake County, and the surrounding counties. She stated that, if the County is going to compete with the surrounding counties, and the County starts defining the cost of the plan for development and housing in this region, there will not be affordable housing in Lake County.
Ms. Bonifay stated that, as to vested rights, some of her clients are being advised by staff through legal opinions from the County Attorney's Office, that they cannot get development permits, or orders, approved because there is no way they can obtain building permits between now and March 2, 1993. She stated that those are clearly legal issues that should be considered on a case by case basis, and those people will have to seek some other redress, if in fact a moratorium is put in place by Lake County.
Mr. Knight made a comment on the future employment center and stated that on Page I-11, 4. b. (2), it should read "be located adjacent to or within 1/2 miles or less...".
Mr. J. B. Sloan appeared before the Board and stated that all of his property adjoins (500 acres in the Green Swamp), but now the County is separating his property and placing the acreage in different land designations.
Commr. Bailey stated that Mr. Sloan's property is located in the rural and core areas. He referred to the section that allows 1,320 feet, which will allow Mr. Sloan the flexibility to use either of the two zoning categories. He stated that Mr. Sloan had another concern which involves easements and roads that run through his property, and that this should be addressed.
Commr. Hanson stated that this is what has happened in the Wekiva Basin. There are arbitrary lines that divide the property, and the property is the same on both sides.
Mr. Rolon Reed, representing the Lake Conservation Council, and representing 1000 Friends of Florida, appeared before the Board and stated neither party has signed the Settlement Agreement, nor are bound by it. He further stated that they would not sign off on it, until he sees the final form of the amendments that are approved today. He stated that the issue being discussed today involving the 1,320 feet, and the language that has been included in this section, was not discussed during the negotiations, and he feels that, if the County argues this issue with DCA, the County will get another Statement of Negative Intent. Mr. Reed stated that he feels the language before the Board today is a significant improvement over the July, 1991, Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Lustgarten stated that she has advised the Board consistently that the intervenors continue to have standing in this particular proceeding, regardless of whether the County settles with DCA or not.
Mr. Steve Richey, Attorney, appeared before the Board and stated that, on January 26, 1993, he filed a Notice of Appearance
on behalf of approximately 40 individuals that he represents in regards to the Settlement Agreement. He requested that the Board accept those Notices of Appearances today for this meeting. In addition to this request, he asked that the record reflect that he also represents North Canadian Power, and also Lake Cogen Facility. He stated that his comments today have to do with the changes and deletions and inconsistencies in the wording before the Board today.
Mr. Richey referred to Page I-11, 4. Future Employment Centers, and stated that it talks in terms of the employment center, and talks in terms of an existing employment centers being limited to light industrial. He stated that in our employment centers we have a lot of uses that go far beyond light industrial, and a lot of land for those employment centers shown on the Land Use Map that go beyond light industrial. He referred to Page I-15, 5. Employment Centers, a. heavy industrial, and questioned the difference in the two references.
Mr. Knight explained the difference and stated that, if the Board chooses to add heavy industrial to Page I-11, 3. Employment Centers, it will not comply with Exhibit B; however, there is a conflict and would be at the discretion of the Board.
Ms. Lustgarten stated that, by striking the word "light" in this section would address the issue.
Mr. Richey stated that, on Pages I-3 and I-4, Mr. Knight discussed light and heavy, and deleted MP. He suggested that the wording "heavy and light" be placed on Page I-11, 3., to be consistent.
At this time, it was noted that the wording on Page I-11, 3. would include the wording "light and heavy" industrial.
Mr. Richey discussed Page I-11, 3., and the height restriction placed in this section. He stated that this seems to be a Land Development Regulation, not something that should be placed in the Comprehensive Plan. He discussed a company that he represents and stated that the facility that will be constructed will have a building height of 56 feet. He would then have to obtain a Comprehensive Plan amendment.
It was clarified that the height issue being discussed was negotiated with Mr. Varn, and was in the prior Comprehensive Plan and the Settlement Agreement. Commr. Swartz suggested that the 50 feet be left in the language today, and be included on the list of possible Comprehensive Plan amendments in the future.
Mr. Richey referred to Page I-15, 5. Employment Centers, and suggested that the Board consider accessory commercial to serve the needs within the employment center, and to look at this at some future date.
Mr. Richey referred to Page I-15, 6. Future Employment Centers, which is limited to light industrial. He suggested that heavy industrial, under certain terms and conditions, with the expanse of lands available, would be appropriate.
Discussion occurred regarding whether this would be the same language that was omitted earlier. Ms. Lustgarten explained that this would not be the same, because there is one future employment center reflected on the Comprehensive Plan, and this is the language in the Settlement Agreement. It was suggested that this issue be reviewed again through the next amendment process.
Mr. Richey referred to Page I-45, the paragraph that was included, as follows: "...protection area of 400 feet in radius as the well field...", and requested that clarification be made to "public potable well".
Mr. Richey referred to Page I-54, and Controlled Access Facilities, and stated that, if the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) makes any changes, the County will have to go through a Comprehensive Plan amendment, and he questioned the adoption of the FDOT standards.
Mr. Richey referred to Page VII-42, Policy 7-13.3: Mining in Prime and High Aquifer Recharge Areas, and suggested that, if the County is going to follow S. 373.0395 (3), F.S., regarding the areas as identified by the SJRWMD/SWFWMD, the County should wait until such areas are designated before the maps are adopted that may or may not be correct.
Mr. Richey referred to Page VII-43, which incorporates by reference the entire Lake County Mining Ordinance. The Mining Ordinance was just changed to reflect when the County wanted people to file reports. The Comprehensive Plan would then have to be amended any time the Board wanted to make the Mining Ordinance more stringent. He suggested that there is nothing in the LDRs that should not be adopted and made a part of the Comprehensive Plan
Mr. Richey referred to Page I-14, f. be served by central utilities, water and sewer services. He stated that there was a State requirement that said you could not serve septic and wells on industrial property, and the State has removed this restriction, and now provides for an annual check of those septic tanks, as those land uses are changed and approved. He stated that the criteria needs to be placed in the LDRs explaining when it is and is not appropriate.
Mr. Richey stated that he has raised all of these issues today, because he is concerned with the County losing major types of industry because of the inability to have flexibility here in putting specificity in a comprehensive plan document that ought to be in the land development regulation criteria. He stated that he would provide the Board the issues he raised today in writing.
At 10:30 a.m., the Chairman called for further public comment. There being none, the public hearing portion of the meeting was closed.
Ms. Lustgarten stated that there was one correction to be made on Page I-72, Policy 1-12A.1: Vested Rights Provisions. It states March, 1993, and, as part of the Settlement Agreement, this date was changed to July, 1993.
Discussion occurred regarding the language that was added on Page I-8, (excluding the WRPA, GSACSC and public resource lands). Ms. Lustgarten stated that this was an issue that was raised at the November 3, 1992 meeting, in response to the Statement of Intent.
Commr. Bailey stated that the categories have changed (semi rural, future urban, and rural), and that, if the inclusion of the language (excluding the WRPA, GSACSC and public resource lands) had been a major issue, it would have surfaced before now.
Ms. Lustgarten stated that, if the Board deleted the new language, which excluded the WRPA, GSACSA and public resource lands, it would not be consistent with Wekiva, and she suggested that the Board leave the WRPA and the public resource lands.
The following language was presented by Ms. Lustgarten, which was the result of the November 3, 1992 meeting:
Land uses consistent with those uses allowed in the Urban, Urban Expansion, and Suburban land use categories are allowable up to 1320 feet into the adjacent less intense land use categories without a comprehensive plan amendment only where property lies contiguous....area."
Commr. Cadwell made a motion, which was seconded by Commr. Hanson, to approve the November 3, 1992 language, as stated above by the County Attorney.
Ms. Lustgarten stated that there is a concern with "adjacency", and the Board may want to add language that makes it clear that "adjacent" is not deemed to include property divided by a major arterial or collector.
Commr. Bailey stated that he would not have a problem with the language being proposed by Ms. Lustgarten regarding "adjacent" being included in the motion, as long as the Board knows that it will be major arterial roads, and would not include easements and County roads.
Ms. Lustgarten stated that the following was an issue raised by DCA in their Notice of Intent in response to the November 3, 1992 amendment:
"Policy 1-1.11 has been revised to delete the phrase "Semi-Rural, Future Urban and Rural land use category" and insert the phrase "adjacent less intense land use category". This change, however, does not specify the specific land use categories in which the more intensive activities could be extended. The policy has been revised to be so general that it would allow the intrusion of intensive uses into environmentally sensitive areas such as the Wekiva River Protection Area, the Green Swamp, and Public Resource areas. In addition, the policy does not ensure that the more intensive activities will be compatible in the less intensive land use categories, that the more intensive activity is supported by
land use needs, or that the public is adequately noticed on the land use changes."
Commr. Hanson stated that the Board is only talking about the area around the Green Swamp, and it is only one-quarter of a mile, so it would be limited to any intrusion.
Commr. Swartz stated that the only intrusion into the 1,320 feet would be urban, urban expansion, and suburban, and he cautioned the Board that the language was created well before the final decisions on the Green Swamp, and therefore, the language is inconsistent. He stated that the language will allow suburban to go into transitional.
Commr. Cadwell stated that the language in his motion would remain the way it was presented, with the language being the result of the November 3, 1992 meeting.
Commr. Swartz stated that the Settlement Agreement from DCA contemplated a very specific use of lands within the Green Swamp, and by Commr. Cadwell's motion, the Board will change what is allowed within that category subsequent to the agreement with DCA. He further stated that the Board will also be allowing a few landowners to be able to transfer, and all of the rest will not be able to transfer. Commr. Swartz stated that the Board will only be allowing those few that have land adjacent to urban, urban expansion, or suburban to do this, but those that have land adjacent to the transitional, the ridge, the core, or core conservation will not benefit from the motion.
Discussion occurred regarding the Board reviewing this through the amendment process, and not creating a situation where DCA may have an objection.
Commr. Bailey stated that he did not feel it would be a major change to substitute the ridge, transition, rural and core for those categories, semi rural, future urban, and rural.
Ms. Lustgarten stated that the semi rural and future urban land use designations were in place all over the County, and that is why the general language was inserted, because there were additional, less intense land use designations that were created through the settlement process.
Commr. Swartz stated that the motion would have to be amended to indicate that you can add urban, urban expansion and suburban, ridge, transition, rural/conservation to the language, then taking 1,320 feet into anything.
Commr. Cadwell stated that he did not know if he would have a problem with adding this language at some point, or submitting it through the amendment process, but this would not be the time to do this.
Discussion occurred regarding the possibility of an amendment to the motion. There being none, Commr. Swartz stated that he would have to vote against the motion, because the motion would be to change the very specific lines that were agreed to with DCA dealing with the ridge, transition, rural, and core conservation areas, and he does not support doing so. He further stated that this would be allowing some land uses, for those people adjacent to urban, urban expansion, and suburban, that those in the rest of the swamp would not enjoy.
The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, with the motion being carried by a 3-2 vote.
Commr. Swartz and Commr. Gerber voted "no".
Ms. Lustgarten questioned whether the Board wanted to add language that clearly defines that "adjacent" is not deemed to include property divided by arterial roads.
Commr. Swartz questioned whether the language that had just been approved talks about the land, at the time of the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, and whether it is a single parcel under a single ownership that traverses those land use categories that were just included in the motion. (He stated that the individual would have just acquired a parcel that is adjacent after this date, or they will have two separate parcels that are side by side.) Ms. Lustgarten stated that, in order to do this, the Board would have to insert language that states that the property is in common ownership, as of the effective date of the ordinance, March 2, 1993.
Discussion occurred regarding pursuing answers to these issues at a later date, possibly through the amendment process.
Mr. Wahl stated that clarification to the adjacency issue would be appreciated, in order for staff to proceed in the appropriate direction.
Commr. Bailey expressed his concern with the Board trying to address these issues at this time rather than during the amendment process.
Ms. Lustgarten stated that the Green Swamp clearly is on one side of Highway 27, and permitting uses across. An arterial road of that nature does divide the road, and that is a dividing line between the two districts. To permit a property owner on the other side to intrude into the Green Swamp would probably not be looked upon favorably by DCA. She noted that Highways 27 and 50 are the dividing lines for the Green Swamp on the map.
The following verbatim comments were inserted into this original set of minutes, as approved by the Board on
April 20, 1993, per the request of Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, for clarification
purposes only:
Commr. Swartz - I would like to see a motion that does that and also addresses the issue of adjacency that does not include parcels that are separated by, what did you say, Annette?
Annette Lustgarten - An arterial road.
Commr. Bailey - I'm not sure ya'll know what you're doing on this, Commissioner.
Commr. Swartz - I think I do.
Commr. Bailey - You do, but I'm not...
Commr. Hanson - I think there needs to be allowance for those that are under contract, too. I mean that is a...
Commr. Bailey - I think we're about to...
Commr. Hanson - That's what you've got and why you ought to look into all of these issues.
Commr. Bailey - That's the reason I would recommend that we take our time on this one and look at it and bring it all together under the amendment that I need some help on.
Commr. Swartz - Let me ask Mr. Wahl, who is the Acting Director of the Department of Development, or whatever it is called these days, how are you going to interpret the issues that I just raised absent from the Board giving you some interpretation?
Pete Wahl - I think you have to have...the effective day of the ordinance is March 2nd, then that would be the language that we would have to apply. I think clarifying language would be appreciated for the adjacency, the question of the adjacency issue.
Commr. Swartz - So you're saying that absent anything else from this Board, you're going to interpret it to mean that it is land that is under common ownership at the date of the enactment of this plan, and, do we need to act on the question of adjacency across the road?
Annette Lustgarten - Yes.
Commr. Bailey - My concern, is again, I think the concern was raised by...in the Green Swamp about the road system. I'm not sure you want to do this especially the part pertaining to the 27 corridor, and I'm not...can someone from staff tell me, aren't we going to split some properties along 27 that's gonna have quite an impact?
Annette Lustgarten - Some will be, some are in the Green Swamp and some are not. I mean...
Commr. Bailey - But then again, I think this is the kind of issue that should be addressed at the same time that we address this issue over here.
Commr. Swartz - Don, the problem is the staff has got to know how to react to that. Now I have heard the County Manager and the Current Development Director indicate that it's going to be land that is under common ownership the date the plan is adopted. I don't understand why the Board doesn't give him direction, tell him one thing or the other with regard to the adjacency issue across the road, and with regard to common ownership. We either want it or we don't. Let's tell staff.
Annette Lustgarten - The Green Swamp clearly is on one side of 27 and permitting uses across. Generally speaking, an arterial road of that nature does, in fact, divide the road, and I think, you know, that is a dividing line between the two districts. To permit a property owner on the other side to intrude into the Green Swamp, I think, probably would not be looked upon favorably by DCA. That was the reason I suggested that one delineation, 27 and 50 are the dividing lines for the Green Swamp on our map.
Commr. Swartz - Let's take one issue at a time. Staff has described the way they're going to interpret common ownership. Is there a motion to alter that? If not then, you have direction that common ownership today is what that is meant to be. Is there a motion to change what I believe is right now what staff is saying, if it crosses a major arterial, 27 or 50, then it will be land use separated. That is what they are saying.
Annette Lustgarten - I think you need to define adjacency.
Commr. Swartz - Is there a motion to direct staff other than that with regard to adjacency across a major collector or arterial? If not then, that issue is dealt with, is there any further issues that the Board would like to deal with? I think we made a couple of what we believed were corrections on the language.......
After some discussion, and no motions being made, the Board clarified with staff the direction it was to take regarding common ownership, and adjacency across a major collector or arterial.
Commr. Swartz stated that clarification had been made as to the following language:
Page I-11, 4. Future Employment Centers b. (2) be located adjacent to or within 1/2 mile.
Page I-15, 6. Future Employment Center - adding heavy industrial clarification.
Page I-2 - move the four (4) non-areas of critical state concern designations to the left.
Page I-72 - Policy 1-12A.1 - changing March, 1993 to July, 1993.
Mr. Knight stated that the documents before the Board were published before the hearing on Exhibit B was addressed in the Settlement Agreement, and there are changes made to Exhibit B, as to the vested rights ordinance date, and in the vested rights section there is a date referring to the Comprehensive Plan Amendment date that was changed to be the effective date of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment implementing the Stipulated Settlement Agreement for which the language was changed, and it will also be changed in the Comprehensive Plan Amendment before Board to agree with the wording in the Settlement Agreement.
On a motion by Commr. Cadwell, seconded by Commr. Hanson and carried unanimously, the Board approved the amendments to the ordinance, as stated and clarified above by Commr. Swartz.
On a motion by Commr. Hanson, seconded by Commr. Gerber and carried unanimously, the Board approved Ordinance 1993-2, with the enacted date of this ordinance being March 2, 1993, as follows by title only:

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT/ORDINANCES/STATE AGENCIES (CONTINUED)
Commr. Hanson questioned the status of the intervenors in regards to the Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Lustgarten stated that the County has followed through with what has been required by the County, in order to implement the Settlement Agreement. The Comprehensive Plan will be transmitted to DCA. They have 45 days within which to review the Comprehensive Plan Amendment for consistency with the Settlement Agreement and make any comments, and issue a Notice of Intent. Everything will be on hold until this process is complete. The Hearing Officer, in response to a status report filed by Ms. Lustgarten, as well as DCA, indicated that the County, in fact, had a signed Settlement Agreement and was pending. The Hearing Officer has abated any action on the Administrative Hearing until April 30, 1993, pending the County's final action, which has now
occurred. Until such time that DCA reviews the Comprehensive Plan for consistency with the Settlement Agreement, everything is on hold and abated. Once that happens, and assuming that a Notice of Intent is issued finding everything in compliance, the County and DCA will have an agreement approved, which will then be forwarded to the Secretary for final approval. At this point in time, if the intervenors do not agree with the Notice of Intent, they can then initiate the Administrative Hearing process once again.

CITIZEN QUESTION AND COMMENT PERIOD
Pastor Ray Kirkland, First Baptist Church, Groveland, appeared before the Board to discuss a bicycle problem, which occurred on Sunday, February 21, 1993, on Bay Lake Road. A large group of cyclists were touring in this area, and Pastor Kirkland stated that he would be speaking only about a small percentage of the group involved. The problems included a cyclist riding on the center line of the road, and other cyclists making unfriendly comments to people arriving to attend church services. Pastor Kirkland requested that the Board address the problems he discussed. He stated that he has no objection to the bicycles, or the races, but only asked that, when the cyclist gets a permit to use the County roads, that he obey the traffic laws. He recommended that the Board consider the use of the old railroad beds for the events, or,
if the organizations are going to use the County roads, they pay the total cost for enough deputies to be stationed along the route.
Mr. Jim Stivender, Director of Public Services, stated that this particular event was not permitted by the County. He stated that the County has participated in a lot of other larger races that had been advertised, but that staff was not aware of this particular race. Mr. Stivender stated that the County needed to be made aware of any races, in order to conduct the traffic, with the assistance of deputies and police, but because no one was made aware of this particular event, none of these were applied.
Mr. Fred Sommers, CFT Sommers Sports, appeared before the Board and stated that he produced the event in Groveland. He stated that this event was not approved by the County, and he was not under the impression the County had a permitting process. He further stated that he has been before the Board over the years and requested approval of road closures for larger races. Mr. Sommers addressed the issues presented by Pastor Kirkland, and apologized for the cyclists' behavior, even though he does not have any control over the them. Mr. Sommers stated that two Lake County Sheriff's Deputies were hired for the event spoken about by Pastor Kirkland to monitor the two intersections, and they were paid by the company.
Commr. Swartz suggested that the Board refer this issue to the Recreation Committee, and to Mr. Chuck Pula, Director of Parks & Facilities, to look at some type of notification to be given any time County roads are used for an organized event, in order to deal with some of the problems being expressed. He further suggested that Pastor Kirkland, or anyone else who has had problems of this type, work with the Committee to help reduce, or eliminate, the types of problems discussed.
Commr. Bailey stated that he would like to encourage that the larger events be taken into consideration, and notification of the activity be made available to the public. He further stated that
a policy may need to be established as to the safety rules that need to be followed on the roads.
It was the consensus of the Board to direct this issue to Mr. Pula and to the Recreation Committee, and for Mr. Pula to contact Pastor Kirkland.
Pastor Kirkland suggested that a more appropriate time be scheduled for the events rather than during the church service hours.
SUBDIVISIONS/PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
Mr. John Hall, President of Friends and Neighbors of Central Florida, homeowners primarily in the Sugarloaf area, appeared before the Board to discuss the land designations in this area.
Commr. Swartz requested that Mr. Hall present the issue to be discussed, because there are issues relative to zoning and development that this Board cannot hear except in an advertised hearing.
Mr. Hall stated that he would like to request the Board to conduct a public hearing on the Sugarloaf area. He stated that he has requested staff to prepare an update of the PUDs that are in this area, and that he knows the Board will be considering land use amendments in the future. He further stated that the residents would like some idea of whether this area is going to be allowed to become a city on its own.
Commr. Swartz explained the public hearing process that has already occurred regarding the Comprehensive Plan, and stated that any amendments to the Plan will require public hearings.
Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, stated that staff is available to all residents in providing public information. She discussed the Comprehensive Plan amendment process, which can be done twice a year, and stated that there will be public hearings, so that all residents will have the ability to participate. Any written documentation will also be provided to staff and to the Board. Ms. Lustgarten then discussed the quasi-judicial procedure, in relation to site specific changes.
Commr. Swartz suggested that Mr. Hall, along with any other member of the organization, or others in the community, request staff to make a presentation regarding current developments being considered, and what the Comprehensive Plan indicates for this area.
Commr. Bailey stated that Mr. Hall had requested that he meet with him and the other residents to discuss the Sugarloaf area. He stated that, after consulting with the County Attorney, it was determined that he could not meet with them.
Commr. Swartz suggested that Mr. Hall contact the County Manager, who can determine which staff members can be contacted to address the questions he may have.
Ms. Lustgarten stated that she did specifically direct Commr. Bailey not to meet with Mr. Hall and the other residents, because if the a Commissioners starts addressing sites specific or areas specific, it will become a problem.
Ms. Cecelia Bonifay, Attorney representing several property owners who are in the process of undertaking development in the Sugarloaf Mountain area, appeared before the Board and stated that she concurs with the County Attorney's opinion that she presented to the Board regarding not discussing site specifics. She stated that this area is moving through the development process, and she will be back for a Development Order for a Development Regional Impact (DRI).

Commr. Swartz suggested that the Board expand the objective and directives in the manner that prohibits smoking in any area of all County owned or leased buildings, and placing under directives that smoking is prohibited in any area of any County owned or leased building. He stated that he is not comfortable with the concept of a public area and a non-public area in a County facility.
On a motion by Commr. Bailey, seconded by Commr. Hanson and carried unanimously, the Board approved Policy LCC-6 - Smoking in County Owned or Leased Buildings, as amended, to prohibit smoking in any area of any County owned or leased building.
PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT/STATE AGENCIES/MUNICIPALITIES
Mr. Pete Wahl, County Manager, stated that an issue had been raised regarding the Umatilla Airport and the review of the FAA license. The airport had been issued a notice of proposed or suggested violation by the FAA approximately one (1) year ago. In reviewing this situation with the County Attorney, Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, is making suggestions on bringing the County into compliance with FFA requirements, as opposed to the broader language.
Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, discussed the request to amend Section 4.01.01, B.1 of the Lake County Land Development Regulations to bring the County's current regulations into conformity with Section 14 CFR of the Federal Aviation Administration Guidelines and Chapter 333 of the Florida Statutes. Currently Lake County has established a Primary Zone for its three public airports to extend 500 feet beyond the end of each runway, when in fact, 200 feet is the standard established in the FAA and DOT regulations. She requested that the Board authorize the
drafting of an ordinance to conform the existing regulations with the FAA rule as administered by DOT, and authorize the advertising of that ordinance.
On a motion by Commr. Cadwell, seconded by Commr. Bailey and carried unanimously, the Board approved the drafting of an ordinance, as stated above by Ms. Lustgarten, and the advertising of such ordinance.

COMMISSIONER'S BUSINESS
COMMITTEES/RESOLUTIONS
Commr. Gerber discussed with the Board the proposed resolution establishing the Charter Government Study Committee. She directed
the Board's attention to Page 2, Section 4. Membership, and stated that the resolution allows each commissioner to appoint one resident from each County Commission district, and also one at large resident from anywhere in the County.
Commr. Swartz stated that he thought there would be two individuals appointed from each district, one from a city within the district, and one from the unincorporated area.
Commr. Cadwell stated that he would prefer to have two representatives from his own district, and that he could not support the proposed resolution, as the membership is stated.
Commr. Swartz informed the Board members that the five constitutional officers took a secret ballot to determine the constitutional officers that would be serving as members on the Committee. It was recommended that the Mr. James C. Watkins, Clerk, and Mr. T. Keith Hall, Tax Collector would be representing the constitutional officers.
Mr. Ed Havill, Property Appraiser, appeared before the Board and stated that, at the last meeting where the charter government study was discussed, he understood that each commissioner would be appointing two individuals from within their own district, and there was no mention about appointing "at large" residents.
Mr. Richard Seron, Tavares, appeared before the Board and stated that, overall this is a good idea to look into charter government, but he is concerned with the Board members having a concern about having public officials, appointed or elected, on the review committee. He stated that it was necessary to have the individuals' input, but that he did not feel it was suitable, or proper, to have a charter review study committee and have on it any public officials. He further stated that the public officials can influence the group and offer their input without being on the committee, and that the committee should be a citizen type committee that is totally unbiased. Mr. Seron stated that there should not be anyone on the committee who will win or lose as a consequence of a charter government.
At 12:13 p.m., the Chairman called for further public comment. There being none, the public hearing portion of the meeting was closed.
Commr. Gerber referred to Page 2, Section 4., B., and stated that members may be removed from membership by a majority vote of the Board.
Commr. Swartz stated that he feels it is important for the committee to have input from the constitutional officers, and that there are only three of the fifteen that will be on the committee and actually be contributing members. He further stated that the city officials need to be there, including the elected ones, because they are the ones that set the policies in their cities.
Commr. Gerber stated that the committee shall cease to operate one year from the date of its first meeting, and the committee may be extended by formal action of the Board.
The following changes were made by the Board:
Page 2 - Section 4. Membership, A. 2.
Delete: One (1) resident from....district.
Add: Two (2) residents from....district.
Delete: 3. Five (5) at large residents of Lake County.

ACCOUNTS ALLOWED/COMMITTEES
Commr. Bailey reported on the March 1, 1993, meeting of the Industrial Development Authority (IDA). He stated that the IDA approved to advertise the County owned property at State Road 19 and U.S. Highway 27, and that the Economic Development Commission (EDC) has recommended Mr. Rick Austin, Austin Press, Leesburg, who has both the technical skills and the technical ability to produce the design element of the brochure under a very short time frame. Commr. Bailey stated that the cost for his professional services would be in the amount of $6,000.00, and the IDA would be going out to bid the printing of the brochure, with a budgeted amount of $15,000.00.
Commr. Bailey stated that Mr. Rick Tesch, EDC, reported on a Regional Economic Development Study coordinated through the EDC and involving, as co-participants, Lake, Seminole, Osceola and Orange Counties, and the City of Orlando. The purpose of the study is to provide a basis for understanding the economic composition of Central Florida, and for providing those jurisdictions with necessary information from which an overall economic action plan can be developed. The total cost of the study will be $220,000.00, with Lake County's share being in the amount of $24,000.00. This would be done by interlocal agreement with Orange County as the master contractor.
Commr. Hanson stated that she met with Orange County some time ago and discussed the proposed study, and stated that the funds for the study would be coming from the proceeds from the Industrial Park. She stated that she would like to see the funds come from the income off of the proceeds, and not from the principle amount.
Mr. Pete Wahl, County Manager, stated that there is not sufficient revenue to support the concept proposed by Commr. Hanson, and, if the Board approves the recommendation of $24,000.00, the Board will need to approve bringing the money in as unanticipated revenue this year, so staff can budget against it.
Commr. Swartz questioned whether there were other proposals made for the creation of a marketing brochure besides the one received from Mr. Austin.
Mr. Wahl stated that there were no other proposals. Discussion had taken place between Mr. Tesch and the IDA, with the IDA being very specific that they wanted the vendor to be from Lake County who was familiar with the area and was part of the Lake County community. The IDA asked Mr. Tesch to bring back a recommendation, which was Mr. Austin, who was also under the limit for bid and was within the existing County policy.
Commr. Swartz stated that he was concerned there might have been other local vendors who did not have the opportunity to become involved with this project. Commr. Bailey stated that he explained to the IDA that it has been the policy of the Board to prepare RFPs for such professional services, but because of the time frame involved, and the IDA already working on this issue with Mr. Tesch, and the IDA not being aware of the Board's policy, the IDA felt it would be advantageous to move forward with the recommendation made by Mr. Tesch.
Discussion occurred regarding the study being proposed and concerns with how much focus will be made on Lake County as opposed to the other counties.
Mr. Wahl stated that there will be two reports on every item, a regional report, and each of the participating jurisdictions will receive a localized report with an analysis of the data related to their specific area.
Commr. Bailey made a motion, which was seconded by Commr. Hanson to approve the expenditure of $6,000.00 for the professional services of Mr. Rick Austin, Austin Press, Leesburg, for the creation of a marketing brochure for the Lake County Central Park.
Under discussion, Ms. Lustgarten stated that the purchasing policy for the County does permit for professional and/or other types of services to proceed other than what the purchasing policy sets forth.
The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, which was carried unanimously.
Commr. Bailey make a motion, which was seconded by Commr. Hanson, to approve the County's share for the Regional Economic Development Study, to be funded out of the County's proceeds from the sale of property at State Road 19 and U.S. Highway 27, not to exceed $24,000.00.
Under discussion, it was clarified that Lake County would be entering into an interlocal agreement with Orange County. It was
noted that the selected consultant would be Real Estate Research Associates.
The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, which was carried unanimously.
Mr. Wahl stated that, as a result of those two motions, the unanticipated revenues from the two sales of property this fiscal year will amount to $600,394.00. He stated that staff needed the Board's approval to receive unanticipated revenue for this fiscal year in that amount, and for the Board to direct the Office of Budget to establish appropriations in the same amount for Lake County Central Park. This will be treated as an enterprise fund.
Ms. Eleanor Anderson, Director, Office of Budget, appeared before the Board and stated that the Board does have the authority by motion to establish a budget and, considering that these monies are being obligated to be spent, staff does need to amend the budget.
On a motion by Commr. Bailey, seconded by Commr. Hanson and carried unanimously, the Board approved to authorize staff to bring back a resolution accepting additional revenue and setting up the budget that will provide for the expenditures, as stated above.
