Mr. Marc Stehli, Director of Engineering with Land Design Innovations, Inc. addressed
the Commission.
City Manager Ronald W McLemore arrived at 6:45 p.m.
Deputy Mayor McLeod stated, "Let the record show, at 6:45 the City Manager joined
us."
.:. .:. AGENDA NOTE: THE SPECIAL MEETING WAS THEN TURNED OVER
TO THE LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY. .:..:.
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
Mr. Kipton D. Lockcuff, P.E., Public WorkslUtility Department Director advised the
Commission of the following and stated, "In the sewer element, if you would look at map
IV-A-I - we are going to revise that sewer plant location - here on the west side oftown;
and then the next map, IV -A-2, those are actually the water plants so we need to switch
those to the sewer plant locations."
Mr. Lockcuff then stated that regarding Policy 1.5.3, "That provision only applies if they
are contiguous to a planned distribution route of the reclaimed water system. I would
recommend that you consider that language be added to be consistent with our code."
Discussion.
Regarding the requirement to connect to a sewer system, Board Member Carl Stephens,
Jr. asked, "Will there be any financial help for these people?" Mr. Lockcuff stated, "It
says we will prioritize by 2005, so that will be a kind of a working list of areas that we
will target." Further discussion ensued on this and on the Capital Improvement Plan.
Board Member Stephens said, "Would you consider the change in the word 'Required' to
'Encouraged. ", Manager McLemore stated, "No, I think you have to give this elected
body on a matter of financing, the full options to make that decision at a point in time
that's appropriate to make that decision. That point in time is not now."
With further discussion, Manager McLemore stated, "I don't have a problem with
backing off that and just saying that the appropriate form of financing will be determined
at that point in time, based on what data you have - what the costs are going to be."
Manager McLemore then said, "I think the City should explore all possible ways of
funding that." Board Member Stephens then said to Manager McLemore, "Do you feel
strongly enough to put that in there." Manager McLemore said, "Sure." Board Member
Stephens agreed. Manager McLemore said, "I would say, "All possible alternatives for
financing. "

Vice Chaimlan Tom Brown stated, "I guess that answers the one on 1.5.3; then, when
new developers come in for the reclaimed water, the new developer would put that in.
He would just charge the homeowner; whoever bought the house would end up with the
cost because some of those lines could be more extensive."
Board Member Stephens then stated to Vice Chairman Brown, "Whenever we do vote on
this, I have a statement I would like to have placed in this: 'The City will explore all
possible ways of funding, in order to ease the burden on the existing residence.'"
Vice Chairman Brown stated, "What's your favor on this element?"
"I SO MOVE." MOTION BY BOARD MEMBER STEPHENS. SECONDED.

Deputy Mayor McLeod said to Vice Chairman Brown, "I take that your Motion was to
move - as noted with changes. Correct?" This was agreed to by Members of the Local
Planning Agency.
.:..:. AGENDA NOTE: THE SPECIAL MEETING WAS THEN TURNED OVER
TO THE CITY COMMISSION. .:..:.
Deputy Mayor McLeod advised those in attendance, "I would like to make sure that we
understand this evening, it's not a 'Workshop,' but this evening is actually a Joint Session
between the City Commission and the Local Planning Agency. Agenda Item 'A' is a
'Special Meeting,' and under 'A,' under the 'Request,' calls it to conduct a 'Workshop.'
These: have been 'Special Meetings.' Would you please make sure the record reflects
that, on all of them."
Regarding sewer service, Commissioner Robert S. Miller said, "Ifthere is no requirement
to do this, I think this policy ought to be changed to leave it up to the City to respond in
existing areas, if it feels the need, and alternatively in new areas that are under
development, I think that would already be addressed as part of the applicant's coming to
the City. So, I would think something along the lines of the following, 'By 2005, the
City shall identify and map those areas within the City's service area which is serviced by
septic systems and prioritize - based on need, determined by soil suitability, density and
environmental concerns at that time. In other words, that would leave it up to the City to
comply with any federal laws that might be around at that time."

Discussion.
Commissioner Miller then suggested the following wording, "'By 2005, the City shall
identify and map those areas within the City's service area which are served by septic
systems and prioritize areas;' and then add, 'Based on need;' take out 'Requiring central
sewer service based on' and continue on with 'Soil suitability, density and environmental
concerns at that time.'"
CGmmissioner Michael S. Blake stated, "Point of Order" and asked Commissioner
Mille;' to reiterate his suggestion.
Conmlissioner Miller stated, "By 2005, the City shall identify and map those areas within
the City's service area which are served by septic systems and prioritize areas based on
need, determined by soil suitability, density and environmental concerns at that time."
Discussion followed on needs and funding.
Commissioner Blake suggested that Policy 1.4.2 should remain as written. Manager
McLemore suggested that "Where it says which are served by septic systems and
prioritize areas - which may require - central sewer service based on soils..." - Manager
McLemore then said, "...I think the 'May require' - says that it is something we will
determine in the future based on..." Commissioner Blake stated, "...1 think that is a
good addition - with that single word insertion." Commissioner Miller agreed and stated,
"I have no problem with it."
"CHANGE POLICY 1.4.2, STRIKING THE WORD 'REQUIRING' AND
ADDING IN 'WHICH MAY REQUIRE' IN THE SAME PLACE." MOTION BY
COMMISSIONER BLAKE. SECONDED. DISCUSSION.

Regarding the septic tank policy, Mr. Stehli stated "It's not relative where the house or
the Septic tank is, it's if the sewer service line is within fifty (50) feet of the right-of-way
or the property line." Deputy Mayor McLeod then said, "So, if it goes past his property
line, he has got to connect." Mr. Lockcuff agreed with this and clarified that it was
within one (I) year to notice and one (1) year to connect." Brief discussion followed on
health and safety concerns.

City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese asked where the definition of "Available" came
from. Attorney Garganese stated, "I am concerned about inconsistencies between this
policy and State law." Attorney Garganese then said, "We probably need to take a look
at Objective 1.4, just for consistency with State law." Deputy Mayor McLeod asked that
this be check into.
Tape I/Side 8
Mayor Paul P. Partyka arrived at 7:28 p.m.
Deputy Mayor McLeod stated that the Mayor was now present and that Mayor Partyka
"Has joined us and will take over the Meeting at this time."
Discussion followed on capacity and treatments plants.
Commissioner Blake inquired about Impact Fees, and asked, "If we already have double
the capacity that we will need ten (10) years from now, how do we legally charge an
Impact Fee to provide additional capacity, if we are already at over capacity?" Manager
McLemore explained, "We don't have an Impact Fee, we have utility connection fee."
Commissioner Blake then inquired, "We don't charge a direct Impact Fee on
Wastewater?" Mr. Lockcuff stated, "We don't call it that." Manager McLemore stated,
"It's a type of Impact Fee." Attorney Garganese stated, "I would have to look at that
issue Commissioner. It seems feasible to make an argument that, are you recouping
previous expenditures to increase your planned capacity through a service availability
fee." Further discussion.
Mr. Lockcuff stated, "This is map IV-A-2, reclaimed water - treatment plants, these are
actually the water plants, so it will match the other map. It will be the east - water
treatment plant and maybe that was what was confusing is to call it a water treatment
plant - the west - needs to be stricken."
Commissioner Blake then said, Policy 1.3.1 says, "You have to connect ifit is available."
Further, Commissioner Blake pointed out that Policy 1.3.4. says, "You have to connect if
it is not available; you have to make it available, to connect to." Commissioner Blake
then asked, "Which one are we going to change?" With discussion, Mr. Lockcuff stated,
"That's why I would suggest we just get back to the State Statute definition of available
and follow that." Further discussion.
Mr. Stehli suggested, "Would you want to amend that policy to say - 'when existing
essential sanitary sewer service is determined to be unavailable to new development and
the use of septic tanks is...'" Deputy Mayor McLeod suggested, "I think that would be
wise for us to leave it as it is - to give us that option." Commissioner Edward Martinez,
Jr. agreed with this." Commissioner Miller also agreed with what Deputy Mayor
McLeod stated. Mr. Lockcuff stated, "You are leaving 1.3.1 the same as it is?"

Mem1:Jers of the Commission agreed. Mr. Lockcuff then said, "Even 1.3.4?" This was
also agreed to.
Policy 1.5.3 was next discussed.
Mr. Stehli suggested that the wording be adjusted to say: ".. . Shall require installation for
all new developments within the planned irrigation - service area."
Discussion followed on septic systems being inspected properly by the appropriate
agencies. Commissioner Blake asked, "How do we enforce the hook-up? How do we
stop the Health Department from allowing another permit to be issued to replace a septic
system, when our code does not allow for that?" Commissioner Blake then asked, "Is the
Health Department permit sufficient to replace a septic system?" Mr. Lockcuff stated,
"Yes." Commissioner Blake then inquired, "Do we have the legal availability to require
- these permits?" Manager McLemore said, "It's something we need to check on."
Attorney Garganese stated, "I'll look into it a little bit more, however, I believe we do
have the right to establish when someone is required to hook-up, as long it's probably a
more stringent requirement than what is provided by law. For us to enforce that policy,
we would have to use certain legal remedies." Attorney Garganese added, "It does
require some amount of coordination between the City and the Health Department on
that, on the issue of septic tank versus hook-up to central sewer."
Deputy Mayor McLeod suggested, "I just think that we should have a way to interact
with the County Health Department, by putting them on notice." Mayor Partyka added,
"Shouldn't we have some kind of simple positioning or process in place?" Attorney
Garganese agreed and said, "We need to make sure that the right people have a copy of
our regulations, and - it's just coordination on these issues, so we insure that our policy
gets enforced. Sometimes it requires cities to make certain demand letters on the County,
advising them not to approve septic tanks when we have sewer service available."
Further, Attorney Garganese suggested, "You establish your policy and then all of this
intergovernmental coordination comes outside of this plan."
Deputy Mayor McLeod asked about Policy 1.3.4. Mr. Stehli suggested that appropriate
wording might be: "... When existing central sanitary sewer service is determined to be
unavailable to new developments and conditions are not favorable for the use of septic
tanks, then you make them extend the line at their expense and connect." Deputy Mayor
McLeod then asked Mr. Stehli, "Is there a way you could word the commercial or the
industrial where it is mandated into it?" Mr. Stehli responded, "Sure." Discussion with
Members of the Commission followed. Deputy Mayor McLeod then suggested that due
to the complexity of this issue, "It sure would be nice to see Staff work on this with the
Consultants, to try to bring this - maybe at least only this portion of the element, these
two (2) issues back to us tomorrow night?" Urban sprawl was briefly discussed, as it
relates to this subject. In conclusion, it was agreed that this matter would come back
tomorrow evening.

ATTORNEY GARGANESE THEN STATED, "I JUST WANT TO ADD ONE
OTHER THING THAT I THINK SHOULD BE ADDED, IN YOUR POTABLE
WATER ELEMENT, YOU ARE DEFINING YOUR SERVICE AREA AND IN
YOUR SEWER ELEMENT, YOU ARE NOT DEFINING YOUR SERVICE
AREA, AND YOU PROBABLY SHOULD. I KNOW YOU HAVE MAPS THAT
REFLECT IT, BUT THE EXISTING SEWER AREA SHOULD BE THE

BOUNDARIES, AS APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE CITY COMMISSION

YOU SO DESIRE TO SET THAT POLICY."

Further discussion followed on the payment of rates. Commissioner Martinez said, "I
think our citizens here are burdened enough as it is to - put an additional burden on them
to have to pay for connecting to water."
Deputy Mayor McLeod said that since the Manager needs more data, "I think we need to
find out what this data is before we put this in the Comprehensive Plan and again it is
something that could be handled through the Commission at a later date." Deputy Mayor
McLeod added, "I think if it is an Element that is that important, I don't know that it
needs to hold this up from moving forwards, but it is something that in the next six (6)
mcnths, the next year, the Manager could gather the information on it and bring it back as
a revision to the Comprehensive Plan."
Mayor Partyka asked the Commission, "Would you be willing to give that - to the City
Manager and let him do some research on it and .come back later on?" Commissioner
Miller stated, "Yes." Commissioner Blake stated, "Yes." Commissioner Martinez stated,
"Yes." Deputy Mayor McLeod stated, "Yes."
Regarding 1.4.4, it was suggested to Staff that, "When looking in the last section, the
1.5.4 reclaimed language, for consistency purposes we might want to marry those two (2)
up."
Discussion followed on consumption levels.

Commissioner Blake asked about changing out the meters, and asked, "Where did
'fifteen (15) years' come from?" Regarding Policy 1.3.1 and Policy 1.3.4, Commissioner
Blake said, "It basically suggests that we do not have the ability to take advantage of
wholesaling of water outside the City." With brief discussion, Manager McLemore said,
"We need to amend that." Attorney Garganese stated, "I would suggest in 1.3.1, that you
consider language such as this, 'The City's potable water service area shall be defined by
the corporate limits of the City and those areas outside the corporate limits established by
the City Commission by written instrument. And then before providing potable water
service to properties located in unincorporated Seminole County, the City shall require
that the property owners execute and record an annexation agreement, approved by the
City Commission; and then further, the City can provide wholesale potable water service
to other cities in Seminole County by written agreement."
Mayor Partyka asked Attorney Garganese, "Those words that you have just said on all
those points, you have those written down?" Attorney Garganese stated, "I will provide
it to yo!: tomorrow in writing." Mayor Partyka then polled the Commission to see if they
were in agreement with this, and then stated, "Everybody is saying yes." Commissioner
Blake added, "Well done."
Commissioner Blake then asked about Objective 1.3 and said that the wording makes
"No mention of availability." Deputy Mayor McLeod asked, "Isn't this the Element
where we should have that we have the interconnection - we are now going ahead and
connecting further to the south?" Mr. Lockcuff stated, "We could put a policy in there
about encouraging interconnection and looping." Deputy Mayor McLeod added, "I think
it might be good that we have that, in case we adopt this and we are not completed with
that connection yet, so it is part of the Comp Plan." Mayor Partyka then asked the
Commission, "Any problem with anyone on that?" No one voiced a problem.
"I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ADOPT THE POTABLE WATER SUB-
ELEMENT INCORPORATING THE CHANGES DISCUSSED." MOTION BY

Mr. Stehli spoke on the Drainage Element.
Vice Chairman Brown asked Mr. Stehli to review the maps and charts again; pointed out
that on "Page IV -D-l we found a period missing at the end of the first paragraph. It is
still missing." Vice Chairman Brown stated, "We had mentioned that the definition of
various acronyms, even ifit six (6) months from now, I am certainly going to bring it up
at Planning and Zoning Meetings to the City when we re-do this, that in the front of the
book, there should be an acronym section." Furthermore, Vice Chairman Brown said,
"Greenspoint subdivision is missing." Ms. Hall mentioned that a number of private
subdivisions that have not been included in this list. Vice Chairman Brown stated,
"Commissioner McLeod had mentioned that on revisions, after we proceed with these,
that if you would give us a facing sheet with what was changed or added only, rather than
having to go through the whole thing again, could you still do that?"
Th~ funding of drainage improvements; impact fees; stormwater fees; and the Aquifer
Rech::tfge area were then briefly discussed.

Commissioner Miller then pointed out that, "The area where I live is an example, is
shown as a Discharge area and not a Recharge area." Commissioner Miller then stated,
"This is our City and this is a problem for us. I think Recharge is a problem for us and I
don't want the State to point out to us that we have a serious problem with Recharge
areas." Ms. Tracy Crowe, Principal Planner with Land Design Innovations, Inc., stated,
"There could be a policy if the City wanted to evaluate it in the future or do a study to
evaluate the Aquifer Recharge map, this is just the best data available at this point."
Mayor Partyka asked about the accuracy of the maps. Commissioner Miller then stated,
"Do we need to make a Resolution or something this evening to verify the accuracy of
these maps?" Manager McLemore suggested, "Maybe what we could do is get the Water
Management District to come to the Commission and present their data, so the
Commission understands." Commissioner Miller stated, "That might not be a bad idea,
because I am not comfortable at all with this."
Furthermore, Commissioner Miller said, "I think a good way to close this issue would be
to have St. John's invited to come and see us." Mayor Partyka suggested, "Rather than
having St. John's come in, why can't we just ask them how comfortable are you with the
accuracy of this?" Mr. Stehli stated, "We can look into that."
Regarding IV-D-5 - Discussion next covered "Levels of Service" and flooding.
Commissioner Blake questioned "Level of Service A" and "Level of Service D." Ms.
Crowe suggested that "Level of Service D" could be worded differently. Commissioner
Blake suggested, "I am willing to give you folks time to go back a take another look at
it." Much discussion.
Mr. Lockcuff suggested that regarding the Stormwater Master Plan, they could try to
clarify this section. Further discussion on "Level of Service D" in relation to
concurrency and the Stormwater Element ensued.
Commissioner Blake stated, "What I am concerned about is when we have a development
proposal that comes in, if we feel that they are not doing enough to manage the
stormwater runoff situ,ation from that development. Do we have more than our LDR's to
go to? Do we have the ability to come all the way back to the Comp Plan?" Discussion.
