PUBLIC COMMENT:
Greg Vachnik, President of the South Lake Jessup Shores Homeowners Association, read a letter
from the committee of the Homeowners Association, which stated they are against the rezoning
proposal for the Clara Joyce property.
MJ. Soileau, 100 Tuskawilla Road (formally Brantley Ave.) spoke against the change of zoning for
the Clara Joyce property.
e
Bill Reischmann, representing Clara Joyce, stated that it is this understanding that the commission will
consider the first reading of an Ord. which will increase the permitted uses for the RU zoning district.
You just heard some commentary on some objections to Ms. Joyce's request to rezone here property
from RU to R-3. What she has sought all along was to use her property, which has eight acres with
one building, a low density, residential in character, Adult Congregate Living Facility. Ms. Joyce
came to the City and the City said in order to do that you have to rezone your property to R-3. A
meeting was held at City Hall with representatives of the individuals that you just heard from, myself,
the City Attorney, Mr. Govoruhk and I believe we reached a compromise. The compromise does
meet the needs of Ms. Joyce, it will allow her to have a permitted use on her property as is, to put
one, not to increase the number of buildings but to just use her existing property as an ACLF. We
have never wanted anything more than the City's permission to use the property as and ACLF, we
never had any intention to put apartments or anything like that on this property. We request that you
consider favorably this evening and move it forward as we need to get this matter closed. The Ord.
which will increase the types and numbers of permitted uses from RU zoning category to include and
ACLF. I would suggest to you Mayor and Commissioners that the concerns that you heard of this
evening regarding traffic, the road, nature and quality of this use, can be and will be met through the
site plan process if you pas this ord. allowing this ACLF as a permitted use.
Charles McGinnis, 510 Club Drive, spoke regarding problems at Cypress Club and a follow-up from
the Dec. 12, 1994 meeting. Mr. McGinnis gave a copy of the report he received from the City
Manager that was submitted to the Mayor and Commissioners to the Commission that he outlined
some of the concerns and issues that have been addressed and went over these with the Commission.
Discussion. City Manager Govoruhk said he will set up a meeting with the developer and will invite
Mr. McGinnis.
Ellen Withner, Club Drive, spoke regarding the problem at Cypress Club, and asked when can they
have a time frame when this will be resolved. Discussion.
Attorney Kruppenbacher said er just recommended to the City manager to contact the developer
tomorrow and get him here for a meeting to get these issues on the table. I recommend that we don't
issue anything to him until we get a handle on this and go through the whole thing. Commissioner
Ferring suggested that the City Attorney get the covenants for that development.
e John draper, Club Drive, stated that he is concerned also with the problems in Cypress Club.

Resolution No. 754 - Time Warner Entertainment Company:
Commissioner Ferring mentioned a letter that was sent to the residents of our City which stated that
they (TWEC) are going to increase their rates again, $1.26 per month. Commissioner Ferring said
that he has had numerous complaints regarding the performance of the cable co. disrupting the service
in the City. A lot of residents are not aware that when their service is disrupted they can put in a
claim for lot money for that particular day or any day that your service is interrupted. This particular
Res. is about the third time that they have tried to change their name and have incorporated with
other organizations and I think that before we go ahead and allow them to do that, we ask them to
come back and renegotiate the contract we have with them. We need to put tougher wording in as
far as enforcement is concerned. We have already with the help of the City Manager made
application to the Federal Communications Commission to be the regulatory agent for the basic
services in this City. We are presently awaiting that, but in the mean time I don't think we should pass
this resolution. So I think we ought to have Time Warner come back and ask them to renegotiate
the contract we have with them; I think it is something that would be beneficial to this City and will
also give them a chance for accountability. Discussion.
Motion was made by Commissioner Ferring to deny this Res. at this time. Seconded by
Commissioner Langellotti. Discussion. Commissioner Gennell said that she has information on fiber
optics from the City of Lake Mary and will have the Clerk make copies for the Commission; and she
also has a video from Lakeland and will also give this to the Clerk for anyone who would like to view
it. Vote: Commissioner McLeod: nay; Commissioner Gennell: aye; Commissioner Ferring: aye;
Commissioner Conniff: aye; Commissioner Langellotti: aye. Motion passes to deny.

people and he applauds the Building Department, who solicited these particular members.
Mayor Bush said the members who were selected are Walt Dittmer, Dan Wood, William Hadfield,
Linda Anderson and Richard Grogan.
Don Houck, Building Official, stated that when looking at putting this Equity Study Commission
together one of the intentions was to get a good cross section of the businesses in the City. He also
stated that fortunately the people he contacted were willing to do this and feels that it is a good
representation of the business community.

Appeal of Rev. Neil Backus to B.O.A. action, denial of conditional use for Church within R-C1 single
family dwelling district:
Margaret Hannah, 405 S. Moss Rd., read a statement from her husband and herself, they both oppose
the request and asked for a vote of denial.
Margaret Hannah also read a letter from Michelle and John Morrison, who could not attend the
meeting, stating that they oppose the request and asked for a vote of denial.
Jo Bush, 125 E. Bahama Rd., stated her opposition of the request and asked for a vote of denial.
Duane Roadaderick, 120 E. Panama Rd., stated he had sent a letter to the Mayor and Commission
and asked that the Mayor read the letter into the record. Mr. Roadaderick said in a brief statement
that this past week he discussed with a State licensed real estate appraiser what the financial impact
a church at 415 Moss Rd. would have on the property values of homes of the surrounding area. He
said he was advised that about a 5% loss of present market value should be expected if there are no
school activities; and school activates would cause an additional decline of property value. He
requested the Commission deny Mr. Backus' appeal.
Mayor Bush read the letter Mr. Roadaderick had sent to the Commission dated January 3, 1995.
Commissioner Ferring read a letter from Mr. & Mrs. Dennis Wilshire who could not be at the meeting
tonight. The letter stated their opposition to the request.
Carl Stephens, 700 Fisher Rd., President of Ranchlands Homeowners Assoc., spoke against the
request. He stated that the homeowners are asking to deny the request for a church on the basis that
is it not with the public interest, it is not compatible with the intent with rustic residential land use
which was established to protect the preferred lifestyle of the residents in the area. It is not a public
facility wanted by the people in the area and will contribute to the deterioration of the dirt roads in
the Ranchlands. We ask that you follow the recommendation of your board of Adjustment and
support us in our effort to protect our lifestyle and community.
Trish Drebert, 500 Hayes Rd., spoke about her opposition of the request and asked for a vote of
denial.
Carol Alvine, 275 E. Tradewinds, spoke against the request.

Commissioner Ferring stated that we had all this information before us prior to the meeting along
with the minutes of the Board of Adjustment meeting, and with all the testimony put forth tonight,
he moved that based upon the record and the lack of compatibility to the surrounding area, this
request be denied. Seconded by Commissioner Conniff. Discussion. Commissioner McLeod said
he would like to hear from Mr. Backus.
Mr. Neil Backus, spoke on behalf of his request. Mr. Backus went into much detail of his history.
He said the name of his church is Faith Bible Church and not Faith Baptist Church and he did have
a house church by the Ormond Beach airport.
Mayor Bush reminded Mr. Backus that he is here tonight to appeal the Board of Adjustments denial
of a conditional use permit to locate a Church on Moss Rd.
Mr. Backus said the main objection at the Nov. 3, 1994, meeting was the Starlite Baptist Church and
their busses. Discussion. Mr. Backus said he was trying to introduce a new concept of a church
where you have bicycles, joggers, and walk-in people. My plans have to have about 15 to 20 car
spaces for the building size. Mr. Backus mentioned a dual driveway for the church and a spec home.
e
Mr. Backus also mentioned a creed that runs through his property and that an environmental engineer
came out and flagged trees and this morning a surveyor came out and they are in the process of
platting this little creek which we plan to preserve. Our concept is something like Lieu Gardens
around a small church and limit the traffic.
Mayor Bush again mentioned the denial of Mr. Backus' request from the B.O.A. and said that Mr.
Backus needs to address the denial. Discussion.
Mr. Backus said he has a site plan and that he is trying to get the Public Works to buy the middle for
retention because the City is draining water on his property from Hayes Rd. He said he has offered
to sell the whole property to Mr. Lockcuff for a retention area. Mayor Bush said this is not what is
before the Commission tonight and the City is not looking to buy property. Mr. Backus stated how
can he by C-l property if he can't sell what he has.
Mr. Backus summed up his appeal by saying he needs help from the people in the Ranchlands and the
City to resolve the situation regarding the retention area. He said he needs to get a resolution on that
and whether they will give him a lot split to build two spec homes.
Mayor Bush said it appear that Mr. Backus' summation is an entirely different topic than what the
agenda item is.
e
Attorney Kruppenbacher asked Mr. Backus if based upon his last comment is he (Backus) trying to
figure out how to improve the value of his property. Mr. Backus said no, what he is trying to do is
be able to sell the property so he can buy a C-l zoned property.

Motion was made by Commissioner F erring to deny the appeal based upon the record before us and
that record includes the Compo Plan, City Codes, the B.O.A. minutes, and tonight's hearing, it is
