The Chairman called the meeting to order.
Mayor Dale acknowledged the outstanding effort of David Eckstein, son of Commissioner Whitey Eckstein,
and referred to an article which was sent to him, and which appeared in the Trenton Times, reporting his achievements and
accomplishments during his two years on the Trenton Thunder minor league baseball team.
Presentation - St. Johns River Water Management District re: Water 2020 Project.
Nancy Christman, Intergovernmental Coordinator for the St. Johns River Water Management District, gave a
brief overview &what the District does, and reported three new Governing Board members were appointed from this area
by Governor Bush. Doug Munch, Director of Groundwater Programs, introduced Bill Dunn, Consultant for the Central
Florida Study Area, and briefed the Commission on Water Supply Planning in the Sanford area. Mayor Dale reported the
Commission endorsed the Water Supply Plan presented by the St. Johns River Water Management District.
Newsrack' Ordinance.
Jay Marder, Director of Planning and Development, reported that the City has met with those parties
impacted by the Newsrack Ordinance, and he and Andrew VanGaale, Associate Planner, have divided the regulations into
various categories, designating requirements for all newsracks. There are also requirements for newsracks in City right-of-
ways, in the Historic Downtown area, and for private property. The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed Ordinance
and suggested some minor changes (a list of which was distributed to the Commission). Debbie Irwin of the Orlando
Sentinel suggested the following changes to the proposed Ordinance: Section 4.b. Violations - change "five" days after
Imailing date to seven days; Section 5. Grievances and Appeals - City to specifically state the violation that may have
occurred; and Section 15.a. Conditions for issuance - add."when inconsistent with Ordinance' at the end of the paragraph.
Ms. Irwin also asked for clarification of several other Sections of the proposed Ordinance. A man also asked
if Section 10.2.2 - Location-Historic Area could have the color changed from 'Torest green" to black. After discussion, the
Commission concurred with all of the requested changes. Mark Watkins of Trader Publishing asked if the address of the
owners of each newsrack would be kept on file with the City, and the Mayor affirmed that it would. Mr. Fetzer asked why
the downtown area was designated as far as 13th Street on the map attached to the proposed Ordinance. Mayor Dale
reported that whole area comprises the Historic District. Mr. VanGaale reported another reason is because the area up to
13th Street on French Avenue is one of the City' s CRA projects, and it is adjacent to the Historic District.
City Manager VanDerworp reported a one page list of additions and deletions will be available at tonight's
meeting for the public when first reading of the Newsrack Ordinance is considered.

Request for use of City parkin~ lot for a Farmer's Market.
[Mayor Dale lel~ the meeting briefly and returned.] Linda Kuhn, Director of Main Street reported this will be
a true "green" farmer's market, the only things sold will be items that are produced or grown from the ground; it is not a flea
market. Mike Kirby, Parks and Recreation Director, reported the biggest concern is the parking for large events at the Civic
Center scheduled at the same time as the flea market. After discussion the Commission concurred to have Mr. Kirby work
up a calendar of the Tuesdays that the Civic Center is being utilized, so the flea market can be held on the Tuesdays that are
still available. This will be done at a future meeting. Linda Kuhn agreed.
Mill Creek briefing.
Jerry Herman, Public Works Director, reported John Buttrey of Bishop & Buttrey Incorporated was present,
and his company is providing dirt for the expressway and is interested in the same property as the City, except they are
interested in the whole site. Bishop & Buttrey Incorporated has a contract on the property, and they have proposed to do a
joint project with the City wherein they would take over the permitting issues and the pond construction, and the City would
be responsible for the piping along Mulberry Avenue. Paul Porter, of Conklin, Porter and Holmes, reported the cost of the
pond project, piping along Mulberry Avenue and mitigation would be about $700,000.00, and the land would cost about
$400,000.00. The cost to the City to partner with Bishop and Buttrey for a 17-acre pond (as opposed to the City's
proposed 10-acre pond) would be $1,024,000.00, which includes an allowance ;of $200,000.00 to provide piping, fencing
and grassing. Mr. Herman felt there would be about a 10% savings .to partner with Bishop and Buttrey. The bigger pond
(17 acres) would allow for better flood control. There would be minimal ongoing maintenance costs to the City. After
discussion the Commission concurred that the Mayor and Conklin, Porter and Holmes work with Bishop and Buttrey on the
financial side of this partnership and bring it back to the Commission at the next meeting.
Seawall repair briefing.
Jerry Herman reported a lot of the pipes behind the wall have displacements and failures, and three repairs
have been made. There are pipes under Seminole Blvd. that need repaired and are being investigated to see if they can be
slip-lined with a plastic liner as opposed to digging them up. The City is moving forward to repair the pipes behind the wall.
The Mayor called for a recess, and then reconvened the meeting.
Presentation - South Shore Club, Inc.
Sid Vihlen reported he became involved with this issue because of his friendship with Dr. Jim Hickman,
property owner in Sanford, whose son Andre now runs the family's land business. Mayor Dale reported he is now serving
on the Board of Directors of the First National Bank of Central Florida with Andre Hickman. Mr. Vihlen reported Dr.
Hickman wanted to develop this property but there were soil contamination and compaction problems, and studies were
done that revealed the .property was not developable because of serious toxic problems among other things. Last year,
Andre Hickman and Dwight Waters commissioned new studies on this land and it was found that there is no contamination
in the water table and there is good soil, and the compaction will allow buildings up to three stories without pilings. When
Dr. Hickman passed away his estate was not aware of any contractual obligations connected to this property. Mr. Vihlen
had closed his files, and came to the City to get all the necessary paperwork to make the family aware of a payment called
for by contract of $10,000.00 a year, which has not been paid for eleven years, but there was considerable communication
about the legality of that payment. Sid Vihlen, HI, who is the attorney for the Hickman estate, was present and reported on
E718672
MINUTES
City Commission, Sanford, Florida
3:30 P.M. WORK SESSION MAY 24
1999
the legal background of this issue. Mr. Vihlen presented a proposal for use of the land, but would like Sid Vihlen, III to
work with City staff and the City Attorney to determined the legal status of the payment.
Mr. Vihlen, III, reported the City of Sanford sold this property to South Shore Club, who in turn sold it to
Bud Feather about a year later. When the property was first sold by the City, the City retained a reverter (Reverter #1) that
said if the specified project is not completed within a certain amount of months, then the City would buy the property back.
When Bud Feather bought the property, South Shore Club financed it and took a mortgage on the property, and Reverter #2
was done. Reverter #2 just updated some of the time periods, etc. South Shore Club then became a lien holder, and Bud
Feather missed his deadlines, and in 1983 the City agreed to release the Reverter Rights and Mr. Feather agreed to pay
$10,000.00 a year until a nursing home was built. Mr. Feather paid $55,000.00 for the release of the Reverter Rights.
Mayor Dale reported that if Mr. Vihlen wants to litigate this issue then the conversation is over and the City
will proceed in court. Mr. Vihlen reported he did not come to argue the legality of the $10,000.00, in fact it is in writing
that the family will pay the $110,000.00 in back payments, but he came because he has a proposal where the City and the
family can combine some parcels and develop a first-class facility. Mr. Vihlen reported he wrote a letter as a result of a
meeting with the Mayor on behalf of the City, and the City considered this issue at a Commission meeting. After the
meeting (which he was out of town for and could not attend), he received a letter which the City Manager was instructed to
write, which stated the City would not do anything in regard to land use until the principal and 8-1/2% interest was paid.
Mr. Vihlen reported he asked to come before the Commission to appeal to the Commission to not charge interest, but only
the face amount of the debt. Also, he wanted to discuss the possibility of a land use change. The Commission concurred to
work with Mr. Vihlen and the Hickman family to come to a mutually agreeable solution. Mr. Vihlen will work with the
family and come back to the Commission with a definite position.
Code Enforcement Zone update.
[Mayor Dale left the meeting briefly and returned.] Charles Rowe, Director of Community Development,
reported the City has been divided into four code enforcement zones, and work in one of those zones has been completed
with a total of 163 eases now in compliance and 7 cases tracking through the code enforcement process. The second zone is
currently being worked on proactively. Mr. Rowe further reported that a section of code allows code enforcement to go
onto private property to remove debris and clean up the property, and then place a lien on the property. The City Attorney
has agreed that the City can enforce that code. Mr. Rowe reported that the cost of enforcing that code has not been
calculated. City Manager VanDerworp reported that the City would like to use this code for long standing issues, but not
every time there is a problem, because of the cost involved. Commissioner Eekstein reported there is a property on
Larkwood where this code should be enforced.
First Comprehensive Plan Amendment for 1999.
Jay Marder, Director of Engineering and Planning, reported the amendment adds in all the annexations,
including those requested by developers. Also, the City was mandated by the State to bring its policies for school sitings
into compliance by October 1, 1999, to enable the City to amend the Comprehensive Plan.
Midge update.
City Manager VanDerworp reported the Commission is being asked to approve a contract with Clarke
Environmental Mosquito Management, Inc. for a one time treatment plus additional treatment of 600 acres, which contract

MINUTES

runs until December, 1999. A letter, which the Commission will receive a copy of at tonight's meeting, will be sent to the
downtown businesses to keep them informed what is being done, and what will be done in the event of an outbreak. Mayor
Dale reported the City has been working with the State Administrative Mosquito Control and Volusia County on some
upcoming programs to be initiated once the Governor signs for the funding. The Mayor reported the City should go ahead
with this contract even if the Governor does not sign for additional funding. City Manager VanDerworp reported the City is
now using a street vacuum, rather than a water truck, 'for midge outbreaks in the downtown area, which seems to be more
cost effective.
Other Business.
Markae Rupp, Deputy City Clerk, reported that the hospital has requested that Linda Breum be considered as
a replacement for Tim Puthoff on the Waterfront Master Plan Steering Committee. Mr. Puthoff's term will expire on June
28, 1999, and because of work commitments he does not wish to be reappointed.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

to rezone property lying between W. 241h Street and

Family Residential-Office-Institutional) to GC-2 (General Commercial). William J. and DeLoris S. Forbes, owners.
Ad published April 21 & 30, 1999.
Ordinance No. 3484 was read by title. Jay Marder reported the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended denial based on the fact that it is a policy change for the area between 17-92 and Park Avenue. All the area
adjacent to this property is zoned for offices at the present time. He further reported according to the Comprehensive Plan
this property could be rezoned to Commercial, and the Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended as an alternative
to request rezoning this property to RC-1 Commercial, which is a restricted neighborhood commercial. Mr. Marder
reported several people spoke in opposition of this zoning, and the City had received several letters of objection~ which were
included in the agenda packet, which were also presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Bill Kershaw reported to the west of this property the newest interchange in Central Florida is being built,
and when that interchange is open from the Interstate, 251h Street and French Avenue is going to be the main intersection in
the City of Sanford. There needs to be something done along 251h Street, all the way through the City, to improve the area

and put k on the tax roles in a meaningful way, for the impact that is going to come through that area and the mount of
traffic that is going to be increased; otherwise, there will be isolated parcels, such as this one, which will deteriorate as time
goes by, become rentals and be abandoned, and they will be an eyesore on one of the main arterioles in the City. He feels
that the owners would have agreed to an RC-1 zoning instead of the requested GC-2 zoning. The City needs to look at
some way to make a buffer zone between the residential, which keeps it a viable residential neighborhood as it is now, and
still not allow the property that is there now to deteriorate and hurt the viable neighborhood.
Commissioner McClanahan asked for a show of hands of the people that are against this zoning. There were
several people present who lived in the area and all were against rezoning, even to RC-I. Commissioner McClanahan
reported, as the District Commissioner for this area, that the Commission went through a lot of research and thought
processes years ago when the first parcel in this area was zoned RMOI, realizing it was on a highway and should have some
Commercial zoning. This is the best zoning the Commission could come up with to buffer the lots that would adjoin the
frontage. RC-1 permits a convenience store, and would not protect the neighborhood with a buffer.
Mayor Dale agreed with Mr. Kershaw that in the future, when the new interchange is completed, the traffic
will come straight down 251h Street instead of coming down SR46 and make the jog to get out to 1-95 and 415 to go to the
beach. He reported the Commission should consider, when looking at the zoning code in the future, more neighborhood
commercial zoning to allow convenience stores on smaller lots, etc., which would allow some kind of transition of zoning.
Commissioner Eckstein reported the Commission should deny the GC-2 request and have the applicant
reapply for an RC-1 zoning in the future. Commissioner Eckstein moved to deny Ordinance No. 3484, entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SANFORD, FLORIDA, AMENDING ORDINANCE
NO. 3117 OF SAID CITY; SAID ORDINANCE BEING A ZONING PLAN; SAID
AMENDMENT CHANGING THE ZONING OF THAT CERTAIN PROPERTY LYING

COMMERCIAL; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, CONFLICTS AND EFFECTIVE
DATE.
Seconded by Commissioner MeClanahan. Commissioner Lessard reported the application fee of $300.00 should be returned
to the applicant, and they could use that returned fee to reapply for another zoning, and he didn't feel this would set a
precedent because of the circumstances of the request. City Attorney Colbert reported if it is the Commission's intention
that the return of the fee is confined to the unique facts of this issue, it can always be argued as a precedent, but if it can be
distinguished from another application it is not as severe. The purpose of the fee is to help pay for the advertising and
administrative costs and if this is denied on first reading perhaps that advertising expense can be avoided, so the City has not
incurred all of this expense at this time. Commissioner Eekstein mended his motion to include the return of the $300.00 fee
to the applicant, and Commissioner MeClanahan mended his second in the same way. The motion to deny and return the
$300.00 fee to the applicant was carried by vote of the Commission as follows:

Approve demolition of structure at 218 W. 12th St/ll l9 Myrtle Ave.. Report No. 98-16, James E. Crews, owner.
tabled May 10, 1999.
Charles Rowe, Director of Community Development, reported that he and Dan Florian met with Mr. Nobles,
representative for James Crews, and Mr. Nobles agreed to take the necessary steps to pull the appropriate permits. As of
today, the City has only received a truss plan with regard to the repairs, and Mr. Nobles is not present at this meeting, so
Community Development is recommending demolition of the property. The Historic Preservation Board has not been
contacted regarding a Certificate of Appropriateness to do the demolition.
City Attorney Colbert, in response to the question whether or not there needs to be a Certificate of
Appropriateness issued by the Historic Preservation Board if the Commission recommends demolition, reported the
condenmation process envisions that a structure is unsafe and uninhabitable, and is a public health, safety and welfare
problem. If the City Commission has gone through the entire condemnation process and given the owner an opportunity to
bring the structure up to code so it is not a health, safety and welfare issue, and the owner fails to do it, and the City issues a
demolition order, it would override anything that would relate to the historic preservation side, unless the Commission
wanted to mitigate the health, safety and welfare issue by the expenditure of public funds.
Commissioner McClanahan moved to proceed with demolition of the property located at 218 W. 12th
St/1119 Myrtle Ave., Condemnation Report No. 98-16. Seconded by Commissioner Lessard. Commissioner Lessard asked
if Mr. Nobles had tried to sell the property. Mr. Rowe reported Mr. Nobles is not the legal owner of record of this
property, although he claims to have a warranty or quit claim deed executed by Mr. Crews, however, as of yet it is
unrecorded. All correspondence has been sent to Mr. Crews, Mr. Nobles, and Mr. Noble's attorney. A certified letter was
sent to Mr. Crews, which he did not sign for, so advertisements were published in the paper. A title search was done and all
lien holders have been notified. After discussion, the vote was carried by vote of the Commission as follows:

City Manager VanDerworp reported the City has received a request from the Sanford Airport Authority for a
letter of support for establishing a Foreign Trade Zone at the airport for all of Seminole County. This is a marketing tool to
draw companies to Seminole County, and specifically to the airport area, because right now there is a high duty of imported
components that may be brought into the Trade Zone, turned into finished products, and then sold with a tax on the end
product. This would reduce the tax on incoming components, thereby providing a major tax savings for companies that
want to import components and export finished products. Commissioner Eckstein moved to authorize a letter of support to
the Sanford Airport Authority for establishing a Foreign Trade Zone. Seconded by Commissioner Williams and carded by

City Manager VanDerworp distributed a copy of an Ordinance that will be considered by the County
Commission on May 25, 1999 which would regulate the motor vehicle title loan industry in Seminole County, including the
City of Sanford. The proposed Ordinance is a result of the 1995 state legislation permitting secondhand dealers to engage in
motor vehicle title loans, resulting in consumers being subjected to an interest rate of 264% on these transactions. To
provide greater consumer protection, the proposed Ordinance imposes more restrictive conditions for engaging in motor
vehicle title loan transactions, including but not limited to the following:
Regulation of information to be included in the title loan agreement, deliverable at time of loan, to
ensure borrower awareness of interest rate and consequences of default;
Maximum interest rate of 2.5% per thirty day period that the loan agreement remains outstanding and
unsatis~ed;
Maximum of 18% per annum if title loan agreement has not been satisfied within 360 days;
Maximum mount of loan not to exceed 1/3 of wholesale value of pledged automobile;
Prepayment or advance payment permitted without penalty after payment of accrued finance charges;
Maintenance of transaction records for 2 years from satisfaction of each loan;
Compliance of all title loan lenders by July 1, 1999.
