RE: University of Central Florida/Student Museum Agreement
Dear Mr. Bonaparte, Mayor Triplett and Honorable Commissioners,
On behalf of the City of Sanford Historic Preservation Board I would like to formally commend Christine Dalton,
Historic Preservation Officer /Community Planner for her efforts regarding the University of Central Florida and
Seminole County Public Schools Student Museum agreement. Ms. Dalton has worked diligently to protect this
important historic building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
As an original member of the Student Museum Restoration Committee, Ms. Dalton was responsible for the
building's listing on the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation II Most Endangered List in 2004. In 2010 Ms.
Dalton coordinated with the Sanford Historic Trust and SCPS on rehabilitation of the building's central bell tower,
providing advice regarding appropriate repointing of the historic brick and proper restoration of the original wood
windows.
In 2011 Ms. Dalton approached UCF about a potential partnership with SCPS, when she learned that the university
had plans to open a Public History Center and were looking for a home. After numerous site visits and meetings with
officials from UCF, a lease agreement was approved by SCPS during their January board meeting, and UCF is
scheduled to occupy the building in July 2012. The HPB is convinced that without Ms. Dalton's efforts this would
not have come to fruition.
Further, we wish to articulate our opinion that Ms. Dalton is an asset to the City of Sanford and serves the city and
its residents well by her continual efforts to recognize and explore opportunities as they arise. She truly is one of
those staff members with creativity and a desire to undertake every effort possible to enhance and highlight our
historic assets and improve the quality of life and viability of Sanford.
Sincerely,
M. Delton Chen, Chairman
City of Sanford Historic Preservation Board
Sanford City Commission
RE; City Commission meeting Feb, 1P 2012
Dear Sirs & Madams.
Feb, 15 2012
I am somewhat perplexed from the discussion, direction and tone of the commission
meeting regarding the SunTrust's appeal for monument signage on the proposed
SunTrust building to be Iocated on 1" Street.
As a citizen observer and a board member of the City of Sanford's HPB, it became
apparent that Ms, Christine Dalton was being asked to expedite the approvals needed to
allow the advancement of the SunTrust construction project startup at the expense of
proper procedure. Comments directed to Ms, Dalton by commission members like "I
don't want to see them in here again" and "make it happen" implies direction for Ms,
Dalton to disregard the rules and codes that the HPB have created to ensure continuity for
our community. It is not within her purview nor is it within the City's best interest to do
so if for no other reason than to set a precedent for future applicants.
The tone of the meeting implied that Ms, Dalton and the HPB were to blame for their late
start date thus far. One clear example of how this is not true is the mere fact they
requested an appeal of an HPB decision regarding monument signage that they weren't
actually in opposition of They wasted an additional 2 months waiting for the public
hearing on this appeal as well as the commission's time deliberating a moot point.
Mr. Brady Lassard, who has been in communication with the Mayor and other members
of the city Commission regarding this project, has assumed the role as spokesperson for
SunTrust. He was very complimentary of the HPB and his comments were appreciated,
however, I can't help but sense that there are other reasons outside of the HPB for their
delays and Ms, Dalton along with the HPB are being accused for it.
I urge the Commission to request a summary of the timeline to date to see where the
delays have been created. Also, I believe a discussion with Mr. Gibson and Ms. Dalton is
in order for further insight into this matter if the Commission is interested in more than
one side of the story.
The HPB has, as an agenda item, been asked to vote on a public work order in exchange
for SunTrust's not meeting the minimum lot usage requirements. Concessions and
exchanges of this nature are common and in the best interest of the City as a whole.
SunTrust has not been forthcoming in this regard. They cannot and should not move
forward until this has been done.
Very Truly Yours

Subject:
Sun Trust Project
Christine, I had the opportunity to attend the City Commission meeting yesterday (as did Mike Yebba)
to be a HPB presence in regard to the Sun Trust appeal over signage. As we know, the whole
exchange was a moot point and the Commission expressed concern that the time frame for
completion of the project had been so long.
The approval process has been confusing and protracted and I'm not clear why that has happened. I
believe we have been waiting for decisions and documentation from Sun Trust, however, the folks
from Sun Trust don't seem to understand the things. for which we're waiting. This might be a problem
in process or a problem in communication. The HPB does not often approve new construction
projects and our lack of experience (I will actually only speak for myself) may be part of the issue.
My biggest concern is that the Commissioners seem to feel frustrated with the preservation codes, the
HPB and the approval process. I want all of us to try to mitigate that over time but I want to be sure I
have my facts straight.
Would you mind pulling together a little timeline, as you understand the series of events, of the Sun
Trust project for the HPB to review? I feel confident that we dotted our I's and crossed our T's. Also,
if you can convey to Delton that I am requesting that we add this to our conversation at the HPB
meeting tomorrow, that will communicate this request in compliance with the Sunshine Law.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns
Thanks.

"There is a potential means and process by which flexibility with regard to site development could be
enhanced and the ability to develop the property in a creative manner could be maximized. That means
and process is a statutory development agreement in which a wide array of development options and a
less rigid adherence to normative land development regulation requirements could be structured. It is
important to note that a statutory development agreement requires an articulated and defined public
benefit resulting from the project that is the subject of the development agreement."

Brady,
I know we have spoken regarding the scheduling of an additional meeting with SunTrust Bank and their CPH
representatives; however, to date have been unable to coordinate said meeting.
After reviewing the information at hand, it has been determined that the following items will be required for the proposed
development:
1. The required CAPP report following the CAPP meeting held on January 3, 2011 needs to be submitted.
2. One item mentioned at the CAPP meeting was the parking agreement with the PICO building. Please submit
a copy of the parking agreement if one has been located. If the agreement has not been located and parking
is still proposed to be shared, a new agreement may be necessary.
3. A rezone application with all back -up is required to be submitted. It is up to the applicant whether they would
like to pursue SC -3, Special Commercial zoning or PD, Planned Development depending on the standards
and requirements for the zoning categories and the applicant's ability to meet those standards.
4. The current regulations do not allow for the construction of Drive -Thru lanes in the Historic District. Pursuant
previous discussions, SunTrust plans to pursue vested rights in order to redevelop the existing drive thru
lanes on site. A Vested Rights application package meeting all the requirements for Vested Rights requests
must be submitted.
5. The required elements for consideration before the Historic Preservation Board must be submitted for review
and approval,
6. An overall Master Plan for the entire site showing the phases of development including current, proposed
construction and post demolition and restoration of the site needs to be submitted for consideration and
presentation to the Commission.
7. Formal submittal of vacate requests for the rights of way in question.
8. Formal submittal of written request for transfer of surplus land to SunTrust
If you have any questions regarding the above items, feel free to contact me. We look forward to continuing to work with
you on this project.

Demolition Requirements
■ Please refer to Schedule S, Section 12.0, Demolition. As discussed during our meeting, the Historic Preservation
Board may only approve demolition of the existing building based on approval for future utilization of the site. Since
the intent is to construct the new building as a replacement for the existing building, the application reviewed by HPB
must address the regulations contained within this section.
Design Criteria (Regulations with page numbers noted are based on the design criteria outlined in Schedule S. I
have attached a copy of Schedule S for further review).
• Page 523: New buildings, additions and alterations shall be designed so that the front facades of the buildings are
closely aligned with other buildings on the block to maintain a uniform setback.
• Page S24: New buildings within the Downtown Commercial District shall have a zero (0) to five (5) foot setback from
the front property line. Please provide an illustration (with dimensions) that reflects how the proposed complies with
this requirement;
• Page S24: Building facades within the Downtown Commercial Historic District shall extend along the street to a
minimum of ninety (90) percent of the lot width for interior lots, and sixty (60) percent for corner lots. Please provide
an illustration (with dimensions) that reflects how the proposed complies with this requirement;
• Page S25: New buildings and their components shall be compatible in scale with each other (size of windows and
doors in relation to the fagade), the human body (use building elements sized for human use), and neighboring
structures (predominant scale). To achieve the appropriate scale, the height to width, length to width and solid to void
ratios must be considered. The scale (height to width ratio) of a street- facing facade shall be compatible with and
maintain the proportions established by the existing structures within the district.
• Page S25: To maintain the predominant scale and proportion in the district, new buildings, additions and alterations
shall be designed so that elements of the building facade are aligned with the fagade elements of the neighboring
structures (e.g. windows, doors, canopies, storefronts, awnings, etc.).
• Page S27: The scale and massing of the lower floors of new structures and their architectural elements shall be
similar to contributing structures in the historic district. Any new structure that exceeds fifty (50) linear feet along any
street frontage shall minimize the fagade's mass by adding projections and recesses to make the structure similar in
scale to contributing structures in the historic district.
• Page S27: New buildings shall have a recognizable top consisting of, but not limited to, cornice treatments, roof
overhangs with brackets, steeped parapets, richly textured materials an /or differently colored materials. Colored
stripes are not acceptable as the only treatment.
As discussed during our meeting, the HPB will use surrounding buildings as a frame of reference for new
development. The proposed design lends itself to a suburban environment and does not convey the characteristics of
urban design that the board will be looking for (and is required by the regulations outlined above). These
characteristics include no setback from the property line, the street facing wall as a continuation of the downtown
street wall (i.e. the build to line of adjacent properties), and a rooftoplcornice line that is in character with the existing
commercial buildings. I strongly recommend the proposed design incorporate characteristics consistent with urban
infill.
■ Page S24: Parking areas shall be located to the side and rear of the building. A secondary pedestrian entrance may
be provided in the back of the business to provide direct customer access to the store from parking areas, or a
walkway shall be provided to improve circulation between the parking lots and the street. Architectural
pZ
embellishments, awnings, landscaping and signs shall be used to mark the secondary entrance. The design of the
rear of the building shall be consistent with the front fagade.
The proposed design does not reflect a secondary pedestrian access. Ple6se ill'usttate how access from the rear
parking lot will be provided;
