Bill Rei clunann, Stenstrom- McIntosh Law Firm was present for a
discussion of decisions by the Planning and Zoning Commission. He
stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission meetings are Quasi
Judicial Hearings. Florida Courts have made a distinction and
divided hearings between Legislatives. Quasi Judicial Hearings
are not count formal. Included are rezonings, conditional uses,
variances, and vacating roads or easements. Quasi Judicial
Hearings are where you apply special laws to specific individuals
for a specific set of facts. Laws are not being changed, but
rather apply the law to an individual, to dive that individual and
those effected more "due process" . The Commission must dive an
individual more nights to be heard. The Commission must do the
following. Provide a notice of hearing, give an opportunity to be
heard, allow the applicant a right to present evidence, and allow
the applicant a right to cross examine witnesses. Applicant has
the right to ask questions of staff, and also question the person
that is protesting. Even though it is not specified, the public
has the right to question the applicant.
The Board has to tell the applicant the facts that the conclusion
of law is based on. The Commission must make specific findings.
Write down motes that influence. Cite reasons for motions. If you
do not comply with stating the facts, the applicant can sue because
his rights have been denied.

Mr. Reishmann pointed out that people coning up to one of the
Commission Members and talking about a matter before the matter is
heard by the Conunission, in Quasi Judicial Hearings, is illegal.
If a letter is seat to a Commissioner this is dif ferent, a copy
should be made and put into the public record. Staff is different.
Applicants can approach staff because staff has no vote on the
Commission. The Commission should not talk to applicants, Florida
Law has inhibited the Commission. If an applicant feels that there
has been are a -parte communication, they have a right to file in
the court and can prove that there has been a -ante communication,
the City would then have to prove that it is not prejudicial. All
the applicant would win would be a chance to Borne back before the
Commission and present the case again.
There is no individual liability. You have a duty as a commission
for the City of Sanford.
Site plans are also Quasi Judicial because of general lags being
applied to a specific hearing.
Mr. Dyal asked if staff could review the site plans and brief the
Commission on the findings. Mr. Speer asked what authority does
the Commission have when it looks at the site plan and it wants to
have a 3 gallon plant, when the man could get by with a 1 gallon
plant. Mr. Reischmann stated that the authority is outlined in the
Code, the proposed site plan has to be consistent with the comp
Plan and that the proposed plan meets or exceeds all specifics of
the comp Flan. The Commission must use collective hest judgement
and make recommendations based upon objections of the Sanford Code.
Mr. Marder to draft duties of the board, have it reviewed by legal
staff, and present to the commission.
Meeting adjourned at 7:00 P.M.
