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.

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:

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:

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.

RE:

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.
