091889-Workshop Session348 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida September 18, 19 89 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 September 18, 1989. Present: Mayor-Commissioner Bettye D. Smith Commissioner Whitey Eckstein Commissioner Robert B. Thomas Commissioner A. A. McClanahan Commissioner Lon Howell City Manager Frank A. Faison City Clerk Janet R. Donahoe Absent: City Attorney William L. Colbert The meeting was called to order by the Chairman. The Commission reviewed a request from John L. Smith to discuss Marina Isle items, as follows: Out lease of part of Palmetto Avenue Right-of way and removal of non- compete clauses in leases. Mr. Smith appeared to support the request. The City Manager submitted a memorandum from the Director of Engineering and Planning as follows: MEMORANDUM TO: Sity Manage~~/~ FROM: Director of Engineering and Planning SUBJECT: Palmetto Avenue Right-of-way, Request for Out Lease DATE: August 7, 1989 Mr. Faison: John Smith's letter of July 19, 1989 requests the inclusion within his existing lease of the small portion of property between Harbour Place and Dock and Sh6p. The attached drawing shows the property out leased to Mr. Smith, and the Palmetto Avenue right- of-way lying between his presently leased property and the Dock and Shop. Although landscaping of this area was discussed in October of 1986, at the time the removal of some existing sidewalk and curbing was approved~ landscaping has never been accomplished. The Site Plan for Harbour Front Village (copy attached), approved on February 20, 1986 identifies the Palmetto Avenue right-of-way as the future location of the boat ramp for small beach launched boats. (The present boat ramp just east of the existing Harbour Front Village structure would be abandoned when the second -structure is built on the property out leased to Mr. Smith.) Until such time as the Palmetto Avenue right-of-way is actually utilized as a public boat ramp, it is believedappropriate and highly desirable that the area be properly landscaped. On the other hand this right-of-way provides valuable public access to the lake front, especially at such time as the second phase of Harbour Front Village is constructed. At present this street right-of-way and a narrow section of the parking lot located immediately north of the Lake Monroe Marina dry storage building are the only direct accesses to the lake front which are not now out-leased. It is recommended that City Commission consider an indefinite right-of-way use permit to Mr. Smith for that portion of the Palmetto Avenue right-of-way north of the existing end of pavement, until such time as it is necessary to be developed as the planned new boat ramp. In view of limited public access to the lake front, the granting of a right~of-way use permit should contain the condition that public access to the lake front through the right- of-way shall be preserved. Landscaping plans should be subject to City approval and a deadline should be established for completion of the agreed landscaping. WAS/yea MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida ZEPW~MBER 18, 19 89 Bill Simmons indicated the out-lease portion on the City map and said that whe: the second structure is built on the property out-leased to Mr. Smith that the extension o Palmetto Avenue would become the only remaining place for public access to the lake anl beach front, and that was why he recommended that the City not out-lease that portion. H~ stated that improving the landscape of the property would not be a problem provided th~ right of the public to access the beach was permitted, and recommended a right-of-way us~ permit rather than a lease. Mr. Smith reported that his original idea was simply to landscape the property to make it look better and that there have been drainage problem~ with the property since the street was blocked off; that he did not want to own th~ property, but just have a voice in what goes on with it. He offered to make the landscaping improvements at his own expense if he had the City's assurance that no vehiclef would be permitted to drive on that area and that there were no organized sports. The Commission authorized to place the matter on the September 25th, 1989 meetin¢ agenda. The next item of business was consideration of the removal of non-compet clauses, as follows: August 31, 1989 Frank Faison City Manager City of Sanford P.O. Box 1778 Sanford, Fl. 32772 Re: Lakefront lease Dear Frank, It is my understanding that the Holiday Inn is currently in default with the City of Sanford for their lease payments. Although it is certainly unfortunate that they are unable to meet their obligations with the City, it does bring up an issue that I feel needs to be discussed. If you recall when my lease was negotiated, great care was taken to avoid any conflicts with the Holiday Inn regarding "food & beverage" rights on the marina property. The purpose of this letter is to request that the City now remove those "restrictions" in my lease prohibiting these areas of commerce. As you are aware, the original intent of these restrictions, written in the early sixties, was to attract new business to the then completely undeveloped island. Although the intent was genuine an the original authors minds, times have definitely changed in Sanford and they have changed at the marina. We are a different City than we were in 1965. No longer are we a sleepy agricultural community, but rather, a fast growing suburban community with a great future. The time has come for Sanford to flourish. I see the prospective benefits of this change as follows: * more income for the City budget 350 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida SEPTEMBER 18, 19 89 PAGE TWO FRANK FAI SON * attracting new business in an area(food & beverage) that Sanford has an obvious shortage of * allowing "free enterprise" to dictate quality & quantity of choices for Sanfords citizens * taking full advantage of Sanfords most prized asset, their waterfront Frank, if you would please consider this proposal; as well as present this idea to our commissioners, I would be grateful. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or to schedule this on your agenda. JLS/vnm Mr. Smith stated that, in the sixties, when the lease was written, the restrictions were well intended, but that the situation has Since changed and he felt that this request would help increase the Holiday Inn's potential income to the City and attract new business to the area. Commissioner Eckstein stated that he was opposed and that he would give his reasons for same at Monday night's Regular Meeting of the City Commission. He stated that in view of the financial situation of the Holiday Inn, that he felt removal of the clause would adversely affect the ability to locate a new tenant, were it necessary; that retaining the clause would enhance the City's position of finding a new purchaser. Commissioner Howell stated he was for the removal of the clause in that he felt the competition it would create would help everyone on the island. Commissione~cClanahan stated that he was not in favor of this action, that it was premature and that the problems with the Holiday Inn should be resolved first. Commissioner Thomas stated that he agre. ed with Commissioner Howell business should be expanded on Marina Isle. and that The Mayor indicated that she would not vote due to a conflict of interest. The Mayor stated that she understood that the Commission wished to discuss the matter at a later date and that it would be placed on the agenda for September 25th regular meeting. The next item of business was a review of the Historic Preservation Board membership requirements requested by Jerry Mills. MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida SEPTEMBER 18, 351 19' Jerry Mills appeared and stated that curren~t membership requirements are that members be either residents of the City of Sanford or own a business in the City of Sanford. He recorm~ended that a maximum of two members of the Board be residents of Seminole County, and nine or more be residents of the City of Sanford. Because the Board has a lack of technical expertise in certain areas of historic preservation and restoration. Further, there are no City residents with that technical expertise. The Commission authorized to place this-item on the September 25, 1989 Late Agenda. The next item of business was a review of the draft lease agreement with Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Florida, Inc., as follows: LEASE ASREEMENT T~IS LEASE is made and entered into by and between the CI~ OF S~/~FORD, FI~P~IDA (hereinafte~ referred to as "Lessor") and BOYS & GIPJ~S CLUB OF CER~ ~LOR/DA~ INC.

While exploring the currency of all personnel related policies and plans, the City's EEO/AA plan was reviewed for consistency with available area data. This review addresses the continuing efforts on the part of the City to achieve balance with the workforce in general and specifically with those segments identified as "significant". In addition to recognizing the importance of voluntary affirmative action it is also important to underscore the need for a plan document in relation to more favorable treatment in securing federal funding for programs such as "Community Block Grants" ....... MINU ES City Commission, Sanford, Florida SEPTEMBER 18, 19 89 This review encompasses a view of the City's workforce as of June 30,~1988 in comparison to the "Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area" (SMSA) data for Seminole County. It should be noted that the SMSA data is accumulated as a result of the most recent census data as reported by the Federal Department of Labor. The last such census was taken in 1980 and those statistics will again be updated in 1990. It is encouraging to report that monumental improvement has been accomplished since the last formal Affirmative Action Plan was promulgated in 1982 and a review of these gains is noted in the summary section of the plan document.
