Discussion.
Regarding the displaying of electronic Land Use maps, Commissioner Blake said to
Staff, "We should know this."
Commissioner Blake then inquired, "If a piece of property meets all the size requirements
and meets the character of what we are trying to accomplish, is that property specifically
excluded from benefiting from this Ordinance?" Manager McLemore stated, "Yes they
are." Commissioner Blake added, "But - if they live on three (3) acres but they don't
happen to be - their property is not in a Future Land Use area that is 'Rural Residential,'
then they do not benefit from this Ordinance?" Manager McLemore stated, "That's
correct." Commissioner Blake then inquired, "Is there a better way to actually use the
criteria that we are trying to utilize? What I am trying to avoid is somebody coming up
here who really meets all the character that we are talking about but does not happen to
be living on top of a Future Land Use designation of 'Rural Residential. ", Commissioner
Blake added, "In order to move on, let us keep this question in mind."
Commissioner McLeod commented on the applicable fees and said, "Why does it have to
come before the Commission and delay a process, if the criteria is spelled out in the
Ordinance here that we are looking at. Why can't Staff handle that?" With further
discussion, Commissioner McLeod stated, "I think that anything outside of this criteria
that we have laid out would then become a Special Exception Permit - maybe that is what
should come back." Commissioner McLeod added, "I was just wondering why we are
charging another $500.00, slowing down a process, having somebody go through this -
why are we going to take up an hour's discussion by the Commission?" Manager
McLemore then stated, "What we would have to do I believe is amend the Zoning Code
to allow that to be probably a Permitted Use." Attorney Garganese said, "I can make the
changes to the Ordinance if that is what the Commission directs."
Commissioner McLeod then said, "If the individual as we had mentioned this evening,
owns two (2) lots and both of these lots are within the jurisdiction, and I know the
Ordinance that we have been looking at, says you cannot build an accessory building on a
lot that does not have the primary residence - now, are we able then, in this situation, if
the two (2) are adjoining - can the individual build on the primary lot, the home and on
the secondary lot of the ten (10) acres that they own, build the barn?" Attorney
Garganese stated, "Yes - providing that there is Unity of Title."
"I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THIS - TO SECOND READING." MOTION BY
COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ. SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR MILLER.

Development/Engineering Plans For The Proposed Tuskawilla Trails Phase II
Subdivision (An Expansion Of The Existing Mobile Home Community).
Mr. John Baker, AICP, Senior Planner, Community Development Department introduced
his opening remarks.
With discussion, Attorney Garganese stated, "Because of the time in which they
submitted their application, there was a limited Vested Rights issue with respect to which
Ordinance applied. We handled this in the same manner we handled Villagio - their
limited vesting is limited only to the landscape plan that the Commission approves this
evening, which is the second plan that you have in your packet. That amounts to the
amount of trees that can be taken down, the replacement requirements, and my
understanding in talking to Staff, with the enhanced landscaped they receive enough
credits to not have to pay any money to the Tree Bank."

Commissioner McLeod stated, "They are asking for us to approve this, but before the
Certificate of Occupancy, they would correct other problems that we have had. Would
you answer why they have not corrected those problems at the present? I think before we
said, before they got permits, they would correct them, so why are we extending this?"
Mr. Baker stated, "We are not on these. We need to get those problems corrected before
we will grant a Certificate of Occupancy for Building 4. However, before we will grant
the building permit for buildings 1 and 6, they have to do the tree plantings and the wall."
Commissioner McLeod then asked, "Before you issue - the permit?" Mr. Baker
responded, "Yes." Furthermore, Mr. Baker stated, "So we are saying they have to fix all
these things before they get their building permit for buildings 1 and 6."

building permit. They cannot go forward with a second building permit, regardless of

Certificate of Occupancy on that first building until these site issues are resolved, nor can
they get a building permit for a second building until all these issues are resolved."

Attorney Garganese introduced this Agenda Item.
Commissioner Blake suggested, "I think that should be specifically prohibited - the use of
Neon in any decorative sense." Further, Commissioner Blake stated, "I think the only
way for us to get there, unfortunately is to have the ability to review each neon that is
exposed, that is used city-wide."

us and we approve them." Deputy Mayor Miller then suggested, "Put a drop dead date
on all the existing - like we did with commercial vehicles, so that everybody eventually
comes into compliance."
With further discussion, Deputy Mayor Miller suggested to Ms. Sahlstrom, "If you were
to give those to us, maybe at some future meeting, in a color format, we could probably

ST ATED, "THAT IS CORRECT."
COMMISSIONER BLAKE STATED, "I DON'T THINK THE ENTIRE

ABOUT DEFINING OUR BORDERS. ENCLAVES ARE A RELATED BUT
DIFFERENT QUESTION, AND ENCLAVES ARE CERTAINLY A SITUATION
THAT WE WOULD WANT TO TRY AND CLEAR UP AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE; BUT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT MAY BE - WHAT IS
CURRENTLY BEING CALLED AROUND TALLAHASSEE, AN EXTERNAL
ENCLAVE - WHICH TECHNICALLY IS NOT AN ENCLAVE ACCORDING TO
STATUTES, BUT AREAS OF INTEREST TO THE CITY, IF WE COULD
SQUARE OFF OUR BORDERS AND POTENTIALLY HAVE SOME -
PROPERTIES WITHIN THE CITY THAT WOULD BE ECONOMICALLY
VIABLE FOR US, I THINK THAT MAKES GOOD SENSE.
FROM THAT STANDPOINT, I WOULD THINK THAT WE WOULD WANT TO

Mayor Bush stated, "I think that Items that are extremely sensitive to Commissioners - if

and if a Commissioner sees an Item appears and know you are not going to be here, if
you will say something to me, I will pull it from the Agenda until you are here."

- when I was at the CALNO [Council of Local Governments in Seminole County]
meeting, we unanimously approved the Interlocal Agreement between the cities and the
School Board - and I would like to recommend to the Commission maybe the Mayor can
draft a Resolution in support of the men and women of our armed forces assigned to the -
Iraq War. All the other cities have done it and I think this is something that we ought to
do." Mayor Bush stated, "We can look into it."

Meeting. "
Secondly, "I would like the City Attorney or the City Clerk to look into this issue of the
Lord of Life voting Precinct. We need to get with Sandra Goard, and put her on notice
that there were serious problems there last time with traffic congestion." Deputy Mayor
Miller added, "I would like to get it very clear, in writing with Sandra Goard so that if she
doesn't do anything, the next time it will be an item that we can say, 'Look how many
times do we have to bring this up with you.' So, that is my suggestion - whatever the
legal issues are or whatever, we need to put the Seminole County Voting Office on
record.
And there is also the issue with St. Stephens [Catholic Church]. I would also like to
make sure that they understand that they can't just inadvertently come out and run people
off of their property, which they have done in two (2) Elections now. I don't think that is
right - they are the only Precinct that does it and I think they need to be notified that if
they don't want to be a Precinct, then just let Sandra Goard know, and Sandra [Goard]
will find someplace else."
Commissioner McGinnis departed the Meeting at 11 :00 p. m.
Deputy Mayor Miller stated, "It is not right for the State, at this time to start handing out
Tax - benefits to tax holidays." Further, Deputy Mayor Miller said, "I think we need to
tell the State that this City is not in favor of that."

Next, Deputy Mayor Miller spoke about excessive trash at two (2) fourplexes on Moss

them we are going to close it down, unless they put a fence around their dumpster and tell
their people to clean it up."
Deputy Mayor Miller showed some photographs of improper fencing at Moss Park and
stated, "I would like the City Manager to come up with some way where we can take care
of this issue the same way we took care of the batting cage at the park." Additionally

some kind of a greenbelt along that fence. We agreed to that, and we never did it."
