SUBJECT:
Downtown Rezoning, Off-Street Parking, Revision to
Recommendations
Mr. Faison:
My memorandum of January 30, 1986 forwarded my recommendations
regarding provision of off-street parking at a number of multi-family
facilities in the downtown rezoning area.
Since that time I have worked closely with Commissioner Mercer on
several of these properties and submit the attached revised spread
sheet of recommendations. The property at 420 Oak Avenue has been
determined to be a single-family residence therefore has been dropped
from the list. Closer examination of 400 Palmetto Avenue has revealed
that two additional parking spaces can barely fit in without the
removal of the large tree previously considered to have been blocking
access. Further discussion regarding 500 Oak Avenue has led to my
conclusion that provision of additional parking spaces utilizing the
adjacent vacant lot is appropriate and in the best interest of the
neighborhood.

Provisions of maximum of eleven spaces will be very expensive and poor
utilization of vacant lot. See Scheme #1. Scheme #2 provided total
of eight spaces with minimal impact. Either Scheme will require
improvement of alley.
* Based on 1.5 spaces per unit required when area rezoned. ~
After discussion, the Commission directed Staff to inspect all Multi-Family
Residential Dwellings annually by the Departments of Police; Fire, Building and Health to
meet licensing and safety for the public use.
The City Manager submitted memo from the Director of Administrative Services as

Health Insurance for Retirees
May 13, 1986
The State Department of Administration, in response to last year's
legislation mandating health insurance for public sector employees,
has provided a Medicare Suppliment Plan as an additional alternative
for the City's retired employees.
As you may recall, the City's current health plans ar~ already offered
to retired employees and their dependents.
This newest alternative may be attractive to retirees over age 65 and
their spouses, and the attached information has been mailed to
retirees. Notice that the open enrollment ends May 31, 1986. After
that date enrollees must qualify.
For your information, this plan does not satisfy the legal
requirement, SB 153, July 1985, which mandates offering the same
health insurance plans .to all retired personnel and their dependents.
This newest alternative will not be available to:
· dependents
· spouses under age 65
· retirees under age 65
The Commission directed Staff to investigate the costs for the City to provide
health insurance for all the City's retirees.
Bill Simmons, Director of Engineering and Planning, submitted a report from the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority setting forth improvements to be provided if the
Referendum to be held on June 3, 1986, is successful in authorizing a levy up to 4 cents
additional gasoline tax and/or up to 1 mil ad valorem property tax, to generate in excess of
$650 million in revenues over the next 5 to 6 years. The $61 million programmed by the MTA
to the Orlando Orange County Expressway Authority and the Seminole County Expressway
Authority should advance important segments of the Beltline by more that six years.
The Commission next discussed a historical marker for Seth French, and directed
Staff to contact Harriett Boyd, descendant of Seth French, for further details.
The Commission next considered requesting proposals to perform the annual audit
for the City, to include the management letter and additional audit advice related to
financial systems and software changes. The Commission directed Staff to proceed.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
