Commissioner Daryl McLain and Seminole County staff member John Dwyer gave a report of the
recommendations by the Spirit of 17-92 Ad Hoc Task Force that will be presented to the Board of
County Commissioners. One of the recommendations will be a countywide CRA, to span along the
entire U.S. Highway 17-92 corridor, and that the CRA be zoned such that money generated in
different localities will be spent within those same areas. Another recommendation will be that a
uniform countywide sign ordinance be implemented using the developer's agreement concept, and
that exclusionary zones be utilized for roadways with natural beauty or historic significance. The
Spirit of 17-92 Ad Hoc Task Force passed a resolution pertaining to billboard regulations to the
Seminole County Commission on May 16, 1996. A work session with the Board of County

Commissioners is scheduled for June 11, 1996, to present the final report of the Spirit of 17-92 Ad
Hoc Task Force. Another work session is scheduled with the Board of County Commissioners on
June 25, 1996, to request further direction on the billboard recommendations made by the Task Force
and its sub-committee, the Tourist Development Council, and Seminole County staff
Board Member Strickler stated he served as a member of the Spirit of 17-92 Ad Hoc Task Force sub-
committee, and gave further supportive input as to specific issues addressed by the Task Force
regarding billboard regulations. Discussion ensued regarding comparisons of the County's and the
individual cities' current sign regulations and the potential impacts of the Task Force's
recommendations. Commissioner Warren was in favor of the developer's agreement concept.
Councilman Hagood and Commissioner Brender voiced concerns regarding countywide billboard
regulations, since their respective cities do not currently allow new construction or reconstruction
of existing billboards. Commissioner McMullen voiced similar concerns since Casselberry's sign
ordinance has proven to be effective with its more restrictive regulations to date as well.
