072087-Workshop Session462 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 1987 The City Commission of the City of Sanford, Florida, met in Workshop Session in the City Manager's Conference Room of the City Hall in the City of Sanford, Florida, at 4:00 o'clock P. M. on July 20, 1987. Present: Mayor-Commissioner Bettye D. Smith Commissioner Whitey Eckstein Commissioner John Y. Mercer Commissioner Bob Thomas Commissioner A. A. McClanahan City Manager Frank A. Faison City Clerk H. N. Tamm, Jr. Absent: City Attorney William L. Colbert The meeting was called to order by the Chairman. The Commission discussed School Board property East of French Avenue, across from the Sanford Middle School. The Commission directed the City Manager to notify the School Board that the City is not interested in purchasing the property. The City Manager reviewed the schedule for the issuance of the Bond Anticipation Notes, Series 1987, and submitted a calendar of activities for same. Bill Simmons, Director of Engineering and Planning, gave a brief overview of the "Planning and Engineering Sewer Targets", and submitted a memorandum as follows: MEMORANDUM JULY 17, 1987 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: City Manager Director of Engineering and Planning Spray Irrigation at Sanford Airport Mr. Faison: The attached letter of July 1, 1987 has been received from FAA. At Mr. Shepherd's suggestion, a meeting was held on July 15 in FAA offices to discuss in detail the FAA position reflected in this letter. (This meeting was rescheduled from an earlier date.) Although you were aware of the letter, I had withheld comment or recommendation pending outcome of the meeting with FAA. Mr. Shepherd's position, simply stated, is that the FAA really does not want any spray irrigation on any Airport property. The Airport Manager essentially reflects that position, prior indications of willingess to work positively with City of Sanford notwithstanding. (Attachment 1 shows areas initially believed suitable for irrigation. ) The attached letter clearly restricts from irrigation use certain areas of the field including clear zones, runway safety areas, and the areas surrounding various sensitive avigation equipment. During previous discussions with Airport officials these areas had been eliminated from irrigation planning. The FAA letter also proscribes irrigation in any area surrounded by runways and/or taxiways, in order to avoid having City personnel routinely crossing these air active facilities. The FAA also specified that they must be assured that areas to be utilized for irrigation will not be needed for future aeronautical development, and that fair market value will be obtained for all irrigated areas. As a result of present Airport planning, the Airport Manager indicates that all previously identified areas on the north side of Runway 9/27 are considered so potential for future aeronautical development that there should be no irrigation in that area. Similarly the area previously identified west of the south end of Runway 18/36 has been eliminated. (These adjustments are shown on Attachment 2.) What remains for potential use is the area of approximately 217 acres in the southeast quadrant of the Airport. This area is estimated to be capable of accepting between 0.75 and 1.0 mgd. Our 201 Plan, amended in 1986, after public hearings indicates the utilization of 734 acres at the Airport for the application of 3.2 mgd of treated effluent. The reduced area and capacity reflected above is seen as a significant change, and in that regard a meeting has been set for July 21 with the Orlando officer of DER. The purpose of the meeting will be to identify and discuss alternatives for the approximately 2.3 mgd displaced from the planned Airport site. MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida July 20, 463 Because of the significance of the Airport site in our land application program, and its major place in our 201 Plan Concept, I feel that we have no reasonable alternative but to pursue development of the limited area remaining available to the City at the Airport. The $4,000,000 estimated cost for the land application system should decrease roughly in proportion to the decrease in acreage and capacity, but will require further analysis. Discussions on July 15 indicated that FAA considered that an appropriate fair market rental for the property to be irrigated might be approximately 10% per year of fair market value. (Although rental had been previously known to be a consideration, this is the first indication of return expected.) Based on a recent land acquisition by the Airport, at $3,176.00 per acre, this rental could be approximately $317.00 per acre per year. This factor as well as potential early termination of any lease agreement, either as result of unilateral FAA determination that irrigation is creating an aviation problem, or determination by the Airport Authority that the property is required for a higher and better use will also have to be considered. FAA approval must be obtained prior to execution of the required agreement between the City and the Airport Authority. In view of the foregoing, it appears especially critical that the City move forward with its planned acquisition of the 2200 acre parcel and that we begin to develop engineering services contracts for necessary indepth engineering studies to be initiated following closing on the purchase. The City Manager reviewed the financing requirements, including a advancing 5% water and sewer increase to October, 1987 from the 11% increase in 1989 as proposed in the Official Statement for the 1986 Water and Sewer Bonds. The City Manager submitted a memorandum from the Director of EngineerinG and Planning as follows: ME MO RAN DU M JULY 9, 1987 TO: City Manager FROM: Director of EngineerinG and Planning SUBJECT: Developer's Agreement for Easterly Waterline Extension AlonG State Road 46 Mr. Faison: As directed by City Commission, the attached proposed Developer's Agreement has been negotiated with the owners of Sanford Auto Auction. The terms of the Agreement relative to costs sharing are as originally proposed, developer pay material costs for 8" line, and City pay costs of installation, as well as any material costs for up-sizinG the line above 8". Although there has been considerable verbal expression of desire for water service by other owners farther east than Cameron Avenue, I have received no indication of immediate interest in water service for other owners west of Cameron Avenue who might be potential participants in the subject Developer's AGreement. Since there has been no commitment by the City to extend the waterline east of Cameron Avenue, it appears inappropriate to include any property owners in that area in the initial agreement. If and when a decision is made to further extend the waterline easterly, owners to benefit by that portion of the extension should be reasonably expected to participate heavily in the costs of any such extension. The Commission requested additional information, and authorized same to be con- sidered at the next regular meeting. The City Manager submitted a memorandum from the Zoning Inspector as follows: MEMORANDUM JULY 9, 1987 TO: VIA: FROM: City Manager Director of Engineering and PlanninG ZoninG Inspector 19 87 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida _ July 2~ 19 S3_ SUBJECT: Bryhaven Subdivision Payment in Lieu of Open Space Mr. Faison: Bill Miller of Suda, Inc. has requested City commission approval for their request to pay $42,120.94 instead of dedicatin§ 2.22 acres of land for the open space requirement for Brynhaven Subdivision. 161 lots x 600 sq. ft. - 43560 sq. ft. = 2.22 Ac. 2.22 Ac. x $18,977 Cost/Ac. - $42,128.94 TL 2.2 acres are too small to provide adequate open space accordinG to the City's open space standards and it is suggested that the City accept payment of money equal to the appraised value of the acreage. The Commission authorized same to be considered at the next regular meeting. The Commission authorized the application for a FRDAP (Florida Recreation Develop- ment Assistance Program) Grant for development of~.Groveview Park to be considered at the next regular meeting. The City Manager discussed the referendum requirements of a Seminole County pro- posed one cent Local Option Sales Tax, county wide projects and requested the Commission to consider projects for the City. The City Manager submitted a memorandum as follows: MEMORANDUM July 17, 1987 TO: F ROM -. RE: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION CITY MANAGER SANFORD CENTRAL PARK WASTEWATER LIFT STATION AND STREET LIGHTS It is recommended that consideration be Given to a trade-off between the City and the Developer of Sanford Central Park involving the cost of installation of street lights, and the "cost avoidance" benefit to the City by the availability and future use of the wastewater lift statin installed at Sanford Central Park for service to other properties in the General vicinity. The Utility Director identified a potential benefit to the City of $20,552 from the future use of the. Sanford Central Park Lift Station to provide sewer service in the General vicinity. Although this figure is arrived at by proratinG the total cost of the Lift Station to one that the developer could have built, if represents the fractional cost to the City of a new Lift Station rated at slightly less than 200 GPM. It is recommended that consideration be Given to the City assistinG financially with the installation of street lights, as shown on the approved site plan, up to this dollar value. Since this Lift Station capacity would be totally for future Growth, funds for this project should come from the Sewer System Trust Fund (Impact Fees). Developer representative, Ernie Cavallaro, advises that the estimated cost of street lights will be approximately $21,000. Approval is requested for us to Go forward with this project. The Commission declined to participate. There being no further business, the meetinG was adjourned. ATTEST:
