Minutes —November 17, 2011 Planning and Zoning Commission Page 2 Staff Report Nick Mcray, Economic Development Director, distributed a Permitting Process Review Efforts sheet. He reported the DRT and the building permitting staff held a meeting to discuss finding ways to improve the permitting process. Mr. Gibson updated the board on the Laurel Avenue traffic calming device installation and two other Public Work projects in the community (side walk along Randolph Street between Mellonville Avenue and Summerlin Avenue and EV charging stations). Mr. Mcray reported the City received a grant for the EV charging stations. The City will install them by mid January 2012 and during the pilot period there will be no charge to use them. The City has the choice to charge or not charge for the use of them after the pilot period. Mr. Gibson distributed a TOD workbook for the SunRail project and informed the board on pages 33 -34 there are renderings of the Sanford station. May 2014 is the targeted opening date to the public. Mr. Gibson reminded the board about the Sunshine Workshop Lonnie Groot is conducting on December 6` and thanked them for the service. Commissioners Reports Mr. Newton stated there is a need to take out the "ambiguity" in ordinances and the board needs to take the codes and adhere to them. Mr. Mills challenged Mr. Newton to bring back to the board a real example of an Ordinance that might have the most impact on helping with unity and show what words would be considered as "ambiguity." Mr. Mills requested the example to be prepared prior to the next meeting and have Lonnie Groot look at it first. Mr. Esler requested having the City Attorney present at every meeting. The board is appointed by the City Commission and is required to adhere to the Florida Sunshine Law and since the board votes on polices and codes, the attorney should be present. Mr. Gibson reported he invited Lonnie Groot to attend today due to expressed concerns from board members and he will be asking the City Manager if the City Attorney could be present at all meetings held by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Unless there is a change, Ms. Oyewale stated she will not be able to attend the December 15` meeting because she is due in court. Mr. Mills asked staff about alternates. Mr. Gibson reported the City Commission did not elect to appoint alternates to this board, but they have mentioned interest in having alternates appointed. Citizen Participation None. Adjournment There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 11:14 AM.
