Jay Jurie, Sanford resident, property owner, registered voter and tax payer, reported there is an eagle's nest located between the site proposed to be annexed and existing City limits that is identified by the Florida Fish and Wildlife "" Conservation Commission as nest number SC024. Them are specific regulations promulgated concerning eagles nests. He asked if the City is prepared to address that concern. City Attorney Colbert said the eagles are a protected species and are governed by Federal Statutes and part of it is tracked by Florida Statutes. If there is an eagle's nest, it should not affect the proposed annexation, however, ff one exists in either the primary or secondary zone it can impact how the property can be developed. It would be addressed through permitting. U,S. Fish and Wildlife Service will have the ability to comment as well as a number of other agencies. The City would have to take those comments into consideration in any development of the property, but not for the purpose of annexation. Mr. Jude said he has concerns about fiscal impact analysis and what may or may not have been done regarding the annexation, and asked what municipal services would be provided to the property and what would be the cost to the City in terms of fiscal impact analysis; would the benefits to the municipality outweigh those costs. Mayor Lessard said the annexation of the property would not adversely affect the City in any way. The fiscal impact would be the addition of the property to the City's tax rolls, if the ordinance passes first and second reading. Mr. Jude said the annexation sets the stage for subsequent corntyrehensive plan and rezone changes. He asked what reason the City has in annexing the property. In response to Commissioner Eckstein's question whether the property is within the service area agreement with Seminole County, City --. Manager VanDerworp replied, "yes." City Manager VanDerworp said that in addition to the annexation, the applicant is applying for a comprehensive plan amendment and rezone. When a comprehensive plan and fezone are done, DCA is sent documentation showing how urban services will be provided to the project. An analysis of capacity and what it would cost to bring the development on line is done. It is not a requirement of law with respect to the annexation, however, because the applicant is in the process of a plan amendment and fezone, the site was reviewed to determine whether the City has the capacity to provide water, sewer, and roadway. The roadway serving the project right now has a good level of service to it. The City is requesting one cent sales tax money to add tam lanes and increase the capacity of the roadway. With respect to the annexation, no fiscal irnpact analysis is required. Mr. Jude said the State' s Growth Management Study Commission is looking at realring the fiscal impact analysis a requirement of annexation. He said it is sound fiscal management that the City is aware of the costs that may be incurred by bringing in a parcel such as this one. Literature seems to indicate that residential properties really do not recoup the investment. If the City is looking to enhance the tax base and recoup the investment then it should go after commercial or industrial annexations rather than residential. Monarcha Marcet, 801 S. Park Avenue, asked that when development approval and rezoning, etc. are considered, if Staffand the Commission will review the impact that a large scale residential development will have on Celery Avenue feeding into and through the historic district of Sanford, specifically 13th Street to Sanford Avenue north or Hwy. 17-92 north or south in order for the residents to get to 1-4 and points beyond. She said if the parcel becomes a large scale residential development, it would behoove the City to make a north-south connector road to S.R. 46 a requirement. Commissioner Woodruff expressed concem that the Commission is looking at SR-1 rather than SR-1A or SR- 1AA. Mayor Lessard said that would be addressed in the rezoning.
