PUBLIC HEARINGS
200. Community Development Department
Requests The Board Of Adjustment Hold A Public Hearing To Review And Provide
The City Commission A Recommendation For Starlight Baptist Church's
Conditional Use Request, Pursuant To Section 20-163. Of The City Code, To Allow
The Church To Expand On Their 4.28 Acre Site At 190 East Bahama Road (North
West Corner Of East Bahama And Hayes Road).
Mr. John Baker, AICP, Senior Planner, Community Development Department presented
this Agenda Item and said, "Staff recommends approval of the 'Conditional Use' subject
to the 'Findings' in Number 2. above."
Mr. Baker noted a letter he received from a resident dated June 15, 2006. This was
distributed to the Advisory Board Members, along with a publication entitled, "Trip
Generation" from the Institute of Traffic Engineers; and a Comprehensive Plan Policy.
Discussion.
Mr. Baker distributed some aerial views of the subject property.
Mr. Thomas H. Skelton, PE., Vice President American Civil Engineering Company, 207
North Moss Road, Suite 211, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke on the subject property and
the "Conditional Use" Request.
Mr. Skelton said, "As far as the impact on storm water, we have obtained the St. John's
[River Water Management District] Permit on this - so there is no impact on that. We
have met their requirements and we will meet the City's too. Church use is a minimal
use as far as water and sewer is concerned. What they have now - an existing septic
system out there which they are going to remove and tie into the central sewer system
with a private lift station. One of the conditions of Approval was the Development
Agreement which included the part about building the sidewalk along Bahama [Road] at
a time that is appropriate. And we agree with that - bring up to Council [Commission] is
that right now there is nothing but shell paths on Hayes Road as you go through the
Ranchlands, and we would like to keep that. But, if it is something that is required, they
will do."
Furthermore, Mr. Skelton stated, "Again we had started the Site Plan review, but were
requested by - recommended by the City Staff to hold off on proceeding until we got this
'Conditional Use' approved just in case there are changes because the Site Plan could
adhere to your Code, but if there is something else that is asked or requested by the City
Boards or Council [Commission], we would have to make the revisions.

So, the Site Plan is about mid-way through the review now and it is represented by the
Site Plan that we show here tonight. At that time too, we will go over the Aesthetic
Review of the building and the heights, the looks, the appearances and those kind of
items.
In conclusion, after reviewing the City's requirements and the Staff Report, it is my
professional opinion that the Site is adequate to handle this expansion and we request that
the Board make a recommendation to City Council [Commission] for approval."
Dr. Glenn C. Riggs, Pastor, Starlight Baptist Church, 330 East Pinewood Court, Lake
Mary, Florida: thanked Mr. Skelton for his presentation and Mr. Baker and Staff for
their assistance. Dr. Riggs then addressed the Advisory Board Members regarding this
Request.

With concerns regarding parking on the road, Vice Chairman Jack Taylor asked Mr.
Baker, "Is it possible to put 'No Parking' signs along both of those roads [Bahama Road
and Hayes Road] around the church so that people will be prompted to park in the
parking lot? Is that a possibility?" Mr. Baker said, "I would have to talk with the Public
Works Director [Mr. Kip Lockcuff, P.E., Director, Utility/Public Works Department]."

Mr. Baker stated, "The sign and I believe the letters we sent out stated this would be
going to the June 26th, [2006] [City Commission] Meeting but we received a directive
from what the City Manager and City Commission are planning for the [June] 26th." Mr.
Baker continued, "So, we probably will be going to the July 10th, [2006] City
Commission Meeting, but we will change the sign and we will send out letters to the
abutters within one hundred and fifty feet (150')." Chairman Waters said, "So, as it
stands now, the plan for this to go before the City Commission is on July 10th, [2006]."
Mr. Baker said, "Yes."
For clarification, Mr. Skelton said, "The church again bought the property in 1990
whether it was a right move by the City to approve the 'Use', they bought it, were able to
use it, they have been using it for sixteen (16) years. They did not buy the four (4) acres
to only be able to use one (1) acre. They bought it to be able to use the entire piece.
When it was approved, there was no stipulation that you never were able to expand - and
that is what they are looking to do. And as far as the expansion, although it is an
expansion, it is more of a replacement. There was a comment that, 'They want to do it
right' . Well, this is their first step in doing it right. They are going to build a new
building, they are going to make it look good. They have to go through the Aesthetic
Review Board and again please the residents of the Ranchlands. Just to clarify on the
size of the expansion - it is going from four hundred (400) seats to seven hundred eighty
three (783) [seats]. The entire new building is not the sanctuary. Only one third Ch) of
the building is going to be sanctuary, the other is going to be offices, classrooms."
Mr. Skelton then said, "The building coverage that is going to occur is twenty-five
percent (25%). They are not looking to expand anymore after this. This is it. If they
want to expand after this, they will relocate. This property is big enough to handle what
they have out there. The amount of traffic that is going to be created by this, if they get
full occupancy on filling seven hundred and eighty three (783) seats - is less than double
the amount of traffic if they fill the entire sanctuary.
As far as the grass parking, they have to stabilize the grass parking. It is common in
churches. There is grass parking now. There is adequate water. There is a ten inch (10")
and a twelve inch (12") water main out there, so any kind of fire protection can be met.
Again - there are shell paths out there on Hayes Road, and that was one of the stipulations
that when they paved Hayes Road, they would have to have the shell paths on both sides
of the road. And the City is requesting us to do the concrete sidewalk on Hayes [Road].
We asked not to do that, but we will do that if that is a requirement. As far as the
cosmetic ofthe building, again they have to go through the Aesthetic Review.

Vice Chairman Taylor asked, "Where are you planning on hiding those buses on this
Plan?" Mr. Skelton said, "Our first step is going to be heavily landscaping the buffers
along Hayes [Road] and Bahama [Road]. We are going to try to relocate the buses
during the week and only have them park on Sunday. I'll let the Pastor explain how he is
going to go about that, but he stated that they are actively pursuing an alternate place to
park the buses during the week." Vice Chairman Taylor said, "There is really no place
on this Plan to quote 'Hide the buses'. I mean, they are all going to be visible from the
street. Correct?" Mr. Skelton said, "The landscaping would definitely buffer against it.
It's definitely not going to hide it one hundred percent (100%) unless you build a high
enough wall the same height as the bus. But, the landscaping will definitely buffer
against the buses and if they find an alternate location which they are pursuing, I believe
it would take care ofthat issue."
Tape 2/Side 8
Dr. Riggs read into the Record some emails he received from residents in the Ranchlands
in favor of the expansion.
Furthermore, Dr. Riggs stated, "We plan to totally replace that roof. We plan to repaint-
but we are going to repaint everything to fit into the scheme of all of this. We have put
shrubbery, we have met with the City - there are a lot of requirements that are there and
we are going to have to meet Code - this is going to be a beautiful facility." Dr. Riggs
said, "Traffic is not a problem now and it will not be a problem then. And the Staff has
studied that and concluded that that is the fact."
Vice Chairman Taylor asked, "I would ask you your opinion of putting 'No Parking'
signs up on both of those roads in the vicinity of the church to make your neighbors
happier and to prevent an accident." Dr. Riggs said, "Yes. Absolutely."
In addressing the bus issue, Dr. Riggs said, "If it would make the neighborhood better,
we are in the process of updating our bus fleet. We are retiring some of the buses,
replacing new ones and we are open and willing to use a consistent color pattern for these
buses. We are actively pursuing right now a plan to try to relocate these buses as soon as
we possibly can. All of this because - again, we want to be good neighbors."
A flyer posted on mailboxes in the Ranchlands was introduced into the Record.
Discussion.
Vice Chairman Taylor asked, "Can you make a note to mention to Chief [Dan] Kerr
[Police Department] that there may be a need for some more traffic enforcement out
there, especially on Bahama Road?" Mr. Baker said, "Yes, sir." Vice Chairman Taylor
added, "Just to let them know that there is concern of speeding on that road."
Discussion ensued on traffic issues.
