Mayor Dale reported the local hospital will not be accepting City employees with Prudential Health Insurance as patients after January 15, 1999. Tim Skeldon, Chief Financial Officer for the hospital reported as of January 15, 1999 the hospital's point of service for City employees will not be available in Sanford, the closest would be South Seminole Hospital. This would affect 79 members. The reason Sanford's hospital will no longer accept these covered employees is because Prudential Health Care would not list the hospital in all of its provider manuals, and would not negotiate on cardiac care. He further reported there were only 12 admissions of City empIoyees at the hospital from July 1997 to September, 1998. All (6) point-of-service physicians have been contacted and have agreed to admit to, and treat patients at, South Seminole Hospital.

Commissioner Lessard moved to approve the minutes of the December 14, 1998 Work Session and the December 14, 1998 Regular Commission Meeting. Seconded by Commissioner Lyons and carried by vote of the CommissiOn as follows: Mayor-Commissioner Dale Aye Commissioner Eckstein Aye Commissioner Williams Aye Commissioner Lessard Aye Commissioner Lyons Aye Public Hearing and second reading of Ordinance No. 3431 to amend Ordinance No. 3079, the Comprehensive Plan. amending the Future Land Use Map, for a portion of Fort Mellon Park and adding annexed property. Ad published December 10, 1998. Ordinance No. 3431 was read by title. Jay Marder, Director of Planning and Development, gave an overview of the City response to Florida Department of Community Affairs Objections, Recommendations and Comments upon Future Land Use Plan Map Amendments by City of Sanford, Florida. Mr. Marder reported this is the second Comprehensive Plan Amendment for 1998. This amendment will change the Future Land Use Map from a hand-drafted format to a digital format. It will also add forty-eight parcels to the Future Land Use Map, and change the classifications of those parcels, as well as the parcel generally known as Fort Mellon Park. The Fort Mellon Park parcel will be re- classified from Public and Semi-Public to Central Business District, excepting the easterly seven hundred feet of said parcel, which shall remain Public and Semi-Public. 468 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 7:00 P.M. REGULAR MEETING December 2~9 98 Mr. Marder addressed the objections regarding transportation, specification of acreage of the Fort Mellon Park site, text amendments and consistency with the State Comprehensive Plan. He reported that each of these objections has been addressed by the City as follows: Transportation - the City has no need to conduct an independent traffic analysis as it participates in the regional transportation modeling process by MetroPlan Orlando. The City's traffic impact review of specific plan amendment sites is based upon data, inventory and land use data upon which the MetroPlan analysis is based. Further traffic analysis for most of the annexation sites is not necessary due to there being absolutely no change upon roadways, the only change being from one jurisdiction to another. Of the five annexation sites that are proposed to change future land use designations that are not equivalent, two sites will result in less traffic due to lower development intensities; three sites will generate more traffic due to a higher proposed future land use intensity. Adequate road capacity exists for these three sites at present and in the future. Acreage - The Fort Mellon Park Amendment includes nine acres. Text amendments - Ordinance 3431 was revised to clarify that the Future Land Use Map will be amended by changing the designation of the Fort Mellon Park property from Public and Semi-Public to Central Business District excepting the easterly seven hundred feet of said property which shall remain Public and Semi-Public. Also, the Ordinance shall become effective immediately when the state land planning agency issues a final order determining the adopted amendment to be in compliance in accordance with Section 163.3184(9), or when the Administration Commission issues a final order determining the adopted amendment to be in compliance in accordance with Section 163.3184(10), whichever occurs first. Consistency with the State Comprehensive Plan - The City has revised the plan amendments to be consistent with all goals and policies contained in the State Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Marder also addressed a Comment regarding Historic Preservation and Archeological Significance of Fort Mellon Park noted by the DCA, which indicated that Fort Mellon Park may be historically significant since the park was developed as a Federal Works Progress Administration (WPA) project. The area of Sanford in the vicinity of Fort Mellon Park is the possible location of a potentially significant archaeological site, Fort Mellon. Mr. Marder reported the land north of First Street was originally under water. In the 1920's the land was platted for subdivision development. Seminole Boulevard was completed in 1935. The City purchased the park land from various private owners. Over the years many structures have been developed on the Fort Mellon Park site including, but not limited to, the Sanford Civic Center, the Sanford Senior Center, the Greater Sanford Chamber of Commerce, various parking and traffic circulation areas, shuffle board courts and buildings, basebalI fields, restrooms, playground equipment, basketball courts, a jogging trail and picnic shelters. A reclaimed water irrigation system crisscrosses the park. There have been no known significant archeological artifacts discovered on the present Fort Mellon Park site. However, there have been numerous discoveries of artifacts on and in close proximity to the present Seminole County Services Building, formerly the Memorial Hospital, located at the southwest comer of Mellonville Avenue and First Street. It is unlikely that Fort Mellon Park was the location of Fort Mellon. Fort Mellon was associated with Mellonville Avenue and the community known as Mellonville which focused several blocks to the east of the present park site. The park land was under water when the fort was established. Notwithstanding, prior to development of additional buildings and other improvements on the Fort Mellon E718672 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 7: 00 P .M. REGULAR MEETING 469 December 2~9.98 site, an archeological/historical survey will be performed. In addition, the City will insure that the architectural character of future development of the site will be compatible and complimentary to nearby historic neighborhoods. Preliminary architectural renderings of the project reflect a Mediterranean style similar to adjacent buildings. Mayor Dale reported the Commission would hear from those persons present to speak for, or in opposition to, Ordinance No. 343 I. Sherrie DeWitt, DeWitt Law Firm, representing the Committee for the Preservation of Fort Mellon Park, reported that there have been several inconsistencies in the advertising of Ordinance No. 343 I. She stated the ad which appeared in the Seminole Herald on August 16, 1998 stated Ordinance No. 3431 was amending Ordinance No. 2065, the Comprehensive Plan. On December 20, I998 the ad stated Ordinance No. 3431 was amending Ordinance No. 3079, the Comprehensive Plan. According to her research, neither of these is the correct Ordinance No. for the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. DeWitt reported the Ordinance needs to be readvertised for Public Hearing with the correct Ordinance No., possibly twice. City Attorney Colbert reported that, even if there was a scriveners error in the advertisement, the purpose of advertising is to inform the public what is being considered, when and where so everyone has an opportunity to speak on the issue, and this purpose was accomplished. There is no need to re-advertise. Ms. DeWitt also voiced concern as to the inconsistency between the legal description of the portion of Ft. Mellon Park being reclassified, and the map showing the portion being reclassified. She also reported that the inventory of community parks in Sanford is not adequate, no one has considered how to fund the replacement of recreational facilities being lost by the development of Ft. Mellon Park, the transportation issues have not been adequately addressed, and the historic significance of Ft. Mellon Park is not being considered. Douglas Groseclose elaborated on the specifics of the concerns Ms. DeWitt had expressed. He referred to the definition of community parks in the Comprehensive Plan and reported the City is counting in the city park acreage properties which are clearly for special public purpose, not general public use as a park should be. He also quoted from a transportation study done by Dr. Duany, Professor of Public Administration at the University of Florida, specifying that not all City streets which will be impacted by the development of Ft. Mellon Park were considered in the traffic survey done by the City. He also reported the City had underestimated the volume of traffic that will be created by the development. Millard Hunt, 801 East Second Street, gave a historical overview of the area around Ft. Mellon Park and told how the Park was named. He also reported that Fort. Monroe, later Fort Mellon, was probably located more closely to where the County Services Building is on First Street. [Commissioner Williams left the meeting briefly and returned.] Sherfie DeWitt summarized what she, Mr. Groseclose and Mr. Hunt had stated and reminded the Commission that the Commission is approving the use of public land, and once that land use is changed, the land could be used for something the Commission is not in favor of, and that is a risk. Mayor Dale reported the Commission understands the risk and is willing to take that chance. Ms. DeWitt further reported the City has not used the most intensive land use to calculate the projections for the transportation study. Mayor Dale repOrted it is the City's position that this is one of the most intensive uses of the land. She further reported the inconsistencies between the map and the language need to be corrected. Jay Marder reported the map clearly identifies approximately a nine acre parcel, or a portion of Fort Mellon Park, and the Ordinance was intended to reflect the exclusion of the easterly 700 feet. The law does not require a legal description to be provided as long as it is clearly identified in terms of the land that is being changed, it is sufficient for this purpose. E718672 47O MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida./: O0 P.M. REGULAR MEETING December ~ 98 Jay Marder also reported he provided a copy of the revised wording which clarifies the City has budgeted $10.5 million dollars in the Capital Improvements Program for a new wastewater treatment plant to be constructed southeast of the airport and to be operational in the year 2000/2001. This facility wilI handle the projected demand for the year 2010, as well as serve the waterfront redevelopment project. Joe Young, 1521 Sanford Avenue, quoted some lines from a poem by Edgar E. Guess entitled It Couldn't Be Done. Carem Gager, 1209 West 19th Court, reported the recent election was a complete mockery. It was a farce. The election should not have been done in November along with County and Federal issues, it should have been done at a time of its own. The wording on the ballot was completely wrong and half the people couldn't understand it. The people trying to save the park did not have a chance against the big money that was pushing for this development. The referendum was unfair, totally deceptive, bought out, and it should not have gone the way it did. Sanford is selling out just like Orlando did. Ron Rose, Executive Director of the Sanford Chamber of Commerce, commended the Commission on its leadership in this process and making sure it was fair to everybody. He reported the Chamber stands behind the Commission in getting prepared for the next century. He encouraged the Commission to keep up the good work. On recommendation of the City Manager, Commissioner Lyons moved to adopt Ordinance No. 3431, as revised incorporating all of the accompanying documents as revised and as recommended by Staff, said Ordinance entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SANFORD, FLORIDA, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 3079 OF SAID CITY, SAID ORDINANCE BEING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, SAID AMENDMENT BEING THE SECOND ANNUAL AMENDMENT; AMENDING THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OF THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT; ADDING PROPERTY ANNEXED INTO THE CITY TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OF THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; CHANGING THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP FROM MANUAL TO DIGITAL FORMAT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, CONFLICTS AND EFFECTIVE DATE.

Ron Rose, Executive Director of the Greater Sanford Chamber of Commerce, requested the Commission authorize additional funding for the Chamber of Commerce in the amount of $9,748.00 to cover electrical hook up expenses associated with the recent Heritage Festival. Mr. Rose reported infrastructure for metered commercial power was installed in the downtown area and may be utilized by the City for future events or improvements. He further reported he had requested funds from the Community Redevelopment Agency and it had pledged $5,000.00 to this project, which was the estimated cost. Since this was about the same cost as renting generators, the Chamber decided to have the electric installed and be able to use it in the future. When the actual bill was received by the Chamber, the cost was $9,478.00. City Manager VanDerworp reported he is not recommending CRA funds be used for this purpose because they may be needed in the future to fund park improvements associated with the new hotel/conference project. Mayor Dale asked why the Chamber didn't come to the Commission before it contracted for the work to be done. Mr. Rose reported that the work was done one day before the festival, and the CRA had already told him this could be considered a Capital Improvement and it would give him $5,000.00. Furthermore, he was not aware that the CRA did not have the final authority to approve these funds. Mayor Dale asked who owned the property the new electric was put on. Mr. Rose reported it was installed in the public right-of-way, owned by the City. Mayor Dale reported the Commission should have approved the installation before it was put in. City Manager VanDerworp reported the City made sure the facility was installed correctly. Based on Mr. Rose's reliance on the CRA's approval, Commissioner Eckstein moved to approve an additional $5,000.00 in funding to the Chamber of Commerce for electricaI hook-up expenses associated with the recent Heritage Festival.
