Mr. Gebaide stated that his clients meet the four conditions as stated in Staff s recommendations for the conditional use. Ms. Dennison questioned the length of stag for the intensive care treatment facility. Mr. Berko stated that this facility is voluntary assistance that no one will be locked in. In the future they propose to have 30 or so beds for stays from a few days to a few weeks. At the present time, there is only out patient treatment. Phase 1 is the same services as they had at 25 Park Avenue, which is out patient services, administrative offices, case management, everything that relates to people living at home and walking in. Phase 2 is Intensive Dual l Diagnosis Treatment. They are in the process of obtaining funding for Phase 2 and hopefully by March they can begin Phase 2. Mr. vonHerbulis questioned the `walk up to the facility" issue. Does it mean they actually walk up to the facility where location is important to the center or are they driven to the facility` Mr. Berko stated that most clients are driven to the facility. Ms. Driskell stated that she handles the transportation issues and could answer the question. The program has 7 to 10 clients that erne MINUTES ES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING ING Off' DECEMBER 2 ,, 2001 PAGE to appointments daily that are driven by someone independently. The balance is transported by their vans, which pick up the client from their home and brings them to the facility rid then takes them back hone. There are approximately 80 clients that cone to the facility each day. There are 7 vans that bring clients to the facility on a daily basis. Approximately % of their clients are Sanford residents. The vans drop off and pick up at the rear of the building, not at the front along 2 a Street. Six vans will make 1 trip per day and one van will make 2 trips per day, for a total of 8 trips per day. Mr. VonHerbulis questioned the security issue. Ms. Driskell stated that there is a more restrictive security than with the nursing home. They will have staff available at all times with minimum of 4 staff` members after Hours. The clients are monitored at all times. Mr. Robert questioned the issues against the City's request; with one of them being the 1500-ft. distance between facilities. Mr. Berko stated that the staff could go between the two facilities for different programs and the possibility of food being made in one facility and delivered to the other facility. The proximity would be a benefit for them. Mr. Gebaide stated that they have been working with the Fire Dept. in regards to life safety issues. They believe the facility is in compliance with the code requirements. The 2 -hour security references their Staff, not uniform Deputies. There will be a minim of 4 Staff on duty 24 hours per day. The Staff is trained in all areas regarding security. Hall Neilson, Director of Community Based Services and a trainer for CPI (Crisis and Prevention Intervention), which is a technique on how to control individuals if they become violent or out of control, spoke. There are alarms, both silent and audible, on the exterior doors. Ir. Skat questioned "dangerous" and "dual diagnosis" issues. Valerie westhead, Medical Director of Seminole Community Mental Health Center, stated that they have been the Baker Act receiving facility for 15 years, so any client that might have a potential dangerousness would be in the Baker Act Facility. She is not aware of any dangerous client ever being loose within the community from the facility. Any dual diagnosis client would go through the crisis unit for evaluation before being sent to the dual diagnosis center. There are no background checks perfonn.ed on the clients. If there were an doubts, they would ask the client if they could check. They are questioned up front of any previous criminal activity. Mr. VonHerbulis questioned the waiver of distance from which facility. Mr. Gibson stated that it is the facility next door. Mr. VonHerbulis also questioned the site plan issue. Mr. Marder stated that since it is considered to be an overall change of use, a new site plan is required to bring it up to code. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that personally he felt Staff could handle the site plan issues with the applicant and not have it brought to the Board. MINUTES PLANNING ING AN TI ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 20, 2001 PAGE Ir. Sat questioned the security issue regarding number of Staff required. The code requires at least one person on site. Ms. I risl ll stated that State requirements require them to have at least four people on site at all times. All staff` members have to meet the state requirements. Laurie Levin, attorney with Baler and H st ttl r, addressed the issue regarding background checks on the clients going into the facility. There are very tight security and privacy concerns and it may put up a fear in front of people receiving services. The clients at this facility will be monitored very closely and be maintained at a level that is not dangerous. Mr. Slat questioned Staff if the facility is consistent with the Lake Monroe Waterfront and Downtown Sanford Redevelopment Plan. Mr. Mard r stated that it is "neutral" and does not really affect it. Nancy Sapp, 130 N Surnmerlin Ave, Sanford, spoke in opposition of the request. She stated that she is not against the center, but feels it is in direct conflict with the master plan for Sanford. Ir. Jinn Chase, 226 S Elliott Ave, Samford, spoke in opposition of the request. He stated that he lives close to the facility and is concerned with people wandering around his neighborhood. His primary concern is safety and security. At 8.50 p.m., the Board tools a - minute break. Jack Pantlias, 116 N Summrlin Ave, Sanford, spoke in opposition of the request. He stated that if the Board would listen to the tape from the City Commission meeting they could hear Commissioner say that Ordinance 3502 was passed so Sanford would not be a dumping ground. Jim Berko responded to statements that were made. He stated that there are facilities in other c nir uniti s and they pride themselves as being good neighbors. He feels there is no more criminality among the mentally ill than there are among people present at the meeting, and the clients are supervised. Mr. Gebaide stated that they appealed to the City Commission regarding being classified as a CRF. City Commission determined them to be a CRS' and advised them to go through the process. They have accepted the CRF classification. Mr. VonHerbulis moved to approve the development order with the Staff s four conditions with a change on item 3 where it states twenty -four hour on-site security shall be provided — would rather it say by state standards as opposed by a minimum of one person and also item 4 site plan approval process be required prior to occupancy — be handled at a staff level. Mr. Robert seconded. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 20, 2001 PACE Ms. Reischniann stated that first of all it should be approval of a conditional use subject to a development order. Another issue would be the requirement of on-site security per state standards; we s the City can not enforce state standards. It is a very technical issue — it is called delegation of powers. Mr. Gebaide stated that the City could place in the development order that there be 1 to 12 staff/patient ratio. Ir. v nH r ulis amended his motion to approve the conditional use to include item 3 - 24 hour on-site security shall be provided by a minimum of 4 persons at all times. Mr. Robert seconded the amended motion. Mr. v nH rhulis stated that he recommended the waiver of the 1500-ft. distance requirement because it is minimal impact, the facilities are run by the same organization, its a lesser obtrusive facility than what is existing next door, and is like a promotional facility for the facility next floor. It makes sense to have it next door and is a lesser impact and perfect for the existing location. 'The actual use is imil r to the previous use. All in favor of the amended motion. Amended motion carried. Is. lishm stated that based on the standards for a CIF, the waiver should be given because it was stated that % of the clients are Sanford residents. Is. Dennison moved to approve the Minutes s of December 6, 2001. Mar. Vaughn seconded. All in favor. Motion carried. Other Business: 1. Mr. Slat commended Russ Gibson for the "No Parking" " signs on 1 t Street. 2. fir. Mard r advised the Board that the City Commission approved the LDR changes.

Mr. Gibson stated they are more compatible with Seminole County's requirements. 3. Mr. Slat questioned ,I's landscaping. Mr. Gibson advised him they were looping into lt. 4.
