Work Session November 8 1999 The City Commission of the City of Sanford, Florida met in Work Session on Monday, November 8, 1999, at 3:30 P.M. in the City Manager's Conference Room, Sanford City Hall, 300 Noah Park Avenue, Sanford, Florida. Present: Absent: Mayor-Commissioner Larry A. Dale Commissioner Whitey Eckstein Commissioner Velma H. Williams Commissioner Brady Lessard City Manager Anthony VanDerworp City Clerk Janet R. Dougherty Commissioner A. A. McClanahan City Attorney William L. Colbert The Chairman called the meeting to order. Employee of the Month Award. Light Rail. There was no Employee of the Month Award for November 1999. Warren Wright, Community Relations Director, Lynx, gave a presentation regarding the Lynx Lyne Central Florida Light Rail. He said the light rail system is an updated version of the electric streetcar which will travel at 55 miles per hour, can be one to three cars long, and serves up to 12,500 passengers an hour. The Starter Lyne is eight miles long and has seven stations including Downtown Orlando, Amtrak Intermodal, Rio Grande Avenue, John Young Parkway, Shingle Creek, and North International Drive at Florida's Turnpike. The Starter Lyne segment is funded by $228 million from the Federal Government, $48.1 milh'on from the State of Florida Department of Transportation, and $48.1 million from the City of Orlando. Construction of the initial eight mile segment is slated to begin in late 2000, with operation to begin in late 2003. Operating costs will be approximately seven million dollars in the year 2003. Possible extension corridors are: US 192 in Kissimmee which will serve the attractions and will run from north International Drive to Celebration, a western corridor to Ocoee, the Orlando- Sanford Airport corridor, and a corridor to UCF and Oviedo. An O~ando Intemational Airport corridor has been defined as a route. There are proposed commuter rail services to Volusia County and Polk County. As a result of reviewing the CSX alignment and the 1-4 alignment, a north corridor route is being studied to determine the best location. Mr. Wright said the Lynx bus system will support the light rail system with connections to the light rail stations. The downtown intermodal center will serve as a connection between the light rail, bus, Lymmo, and the future commuter rail system. [Commissioner McClanahan present.] Required utility easements on plats. Jay Marder, Director of Engineering & Planning, reported that the City requires utility easements on all lots, on all plats, primarily to ensure that other utilities are able to install electric, phone, cable, etc. He said it is not necessary to have easements all the way around a lot and they should be in front of a lot for easy access. It would be necessary to amend the Land Development Regulations to not require utility easements on the side and the rear of a lot on all plats, but to maintain them in the front yard. The developers would be required to coordinate with the utility companies to obtain a letter, prior to platting, stating that the utility easements are sufficient for their purpose. The Commission concurred that Staff draft an amendment to the Land Development Regulations to require utility easements in the front of a lot, and for the developer to work with the utility companies to provide adequate easements, and for utility companies to provide written approval to the developer stating the easements are sufficient, prior to platting. g718672 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 3:30 P.M. Work Session November 8 19. 99 PBA building. Charles Rowe, Director of Community Development, reported the PBA building was inspected and it was determined that it is not condemnable, however, there are conditions which could cause the building to become condemnable if they are left unaddressed. The minimal repairs required to stabilize the building will cost approximately $10,000., including roof repair and electrical system repair which was damaged as a result of the roof damage. Mr. Rowe recommended: (1) the AmVets underwrite any expenses associated with structure stabilization efforts, as they deem necessary, although at a minimum must include repair and/or replacement of the roof, electrical system, and damaged flooring in the kitchen and bathroom areas, and be respons~le for all maintenance, in return for a 1-2 year lease; (2) the AmVets underwrite any expenses associated with structure stabilization efforts and the City will revisit the lease and the condition of the building at lease termination. City Manager VanDerworp recommended option 2. The Commission concurred that the AmVets perform the minimum amount of maintenance necessary to safely occupy the building until the lease terminates in April, 2000. City Manager VanDerworp said the lease requires the AmVets to provide public liability/accident/property damage insurance to protect the lessor against claims or injuries to person/persons, in the amount of $100,000. per person or $300,000. per incident, and that the City be named as additional insured. A copy of the insurance policy was not readily available so the Commission concurred to proceed with the Agenda and continue the discussion later in the meeting. Historic Sanford Memorial Stadium completion options. ., Tom Farnsworth, Recreation Superintendent, reported that approximately $1,750,433. is needed to complete the renovation of the Historic Sanford Memorial Stadium. Phasing the project versus non-phasing has been researched and discussed. The cost difference to phase is $360,000. which increases the total project cost to $2,110,901. An application for $200,000. has been submitted for Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program funds. Grants will also be written for Florida Community Trust and Historic Preservation funds and submitted at the appropriate time. Donna Watt, Finance Director, said the pay back on a $1,250,000. bond issue is $2,213,000. To borrow $1,250,000. from First Union, the pay back would be $1,875,000. at a 5.55% interest rate. It would be necessary to pledge a revenue source for the security of the loan. After discussion, the Commission requested a more detailed financing package and a budget of what is needed so a request can be made to the State for funding. [Mayor Dale left the meeting.] Fire Station site. Fire ChiefHickson reported that the Fire Station #2 building has outlived its usefulness. It was determined that because of development on the east, a new station should be in the general response area. Several possible sites were discussed, including a projected donation of 1.4 acres at the end of Americana Boulevard behind Wal-Mart. [Mayor Dale returned.] City Manager VanDerworp said that prior to accepting the property there will be an environmental assessment. [Mayor Dale briefly left the meeting and retumed.] Mayor Dale said there has been an offer to purchase the Fire Station No. 2 property at appraised value. After discussion, the Commission concurred to accept the donated property subject to soils evaluation and environmental assessment, and to obtain an appraisal of the Fire Station No. 2 site. Action will be taken during tonight's Regular Meeting regarding the appraisal. Parking on ril~ht-of-way ordinance. City Manager VanDerworp reported complaints have been received regarding vehicles parked in the City' s right- of-way. Mayor Dale said the City' s current ordinance allows parking in the right-of-way unless there is a no parking sign posted. E718672 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 3:30 P.M. Work Session November 8 19 99 In residential neighborhoods a vehicle can park on the street, can't park on the sidewalk, and can't jump the curb to park in the fight-of-way. The proposed amendment to the parking ordinance prohibits parking of a motor vehicle in or on a City easement or on a parkway unless authorized by the City Commission or the Administrative Official. Mayor Dale said the Police Department would enforce the ordinance by issuing a red or ~orescent orange ticket on the windshield. The Commission concurred there should be a very lenient warning period and warning tickets issued for a period of time, and the public should be educated. An ordinance to amend the City Code regarding parking is scheduled for first reading at tonight's Meeting. Chargine for use of publicly-owned facilities. City Manager VanDerworp reported the issue of charging for use of publicly-owned facilities came up during a review of checks issued to the Department of Revenue for sales tax on use of publicly_owned facilities. Mayor Dale said if the public owns a facility they should not have to pay sales tax to use the facility. The City doesn't rent publicly-owned facilities, but charges a user fee. The City Manager said he would add this item to a legislative package and will bring it back to the Commission. Code Enforcement liens and property foreclosures. Charles Rowe, DireCtor of Community Development, distributed an outline listing 48 properties with unpaid Code Enforcement liens which total $549,152.00. Of the 48 properties, 39 are residential and 9 are commercial. Because 18 of the properties are homestead, they cannot be foreclosed, therefore 30 properties are potentially collectable by foreclosure. The means for satisfaction of the liens are foreclosure, judgement, or write-off. The ultimate disposition of the property is retention, donation, or sale. The criterion of selection for foreclosure is location, value, condition, and need. APter discussion, the Commission concurred with the outline as presented, and that Staff report back on specific properties ranked by amounts owed and the least problematic to foreclose, and the procedure to foreclose by group, and the expense to foreclose. Board appointments. Janet Dougherty, City Clerk, reported the Code Enforcement Board has two alternate member vacancies. There is a vacancy on the Waterfront Master Plan Steering Committee. The Commission discussed the need for alternate members on the Code Enforcement Board and determined they are probably not needed because the alternate member is not required to attend the meetings. The Commission concurred that Staff review the need for alternate members and to prepare an ordinance to eliminate alternate members if they are not needed. Regular Agenda items, Add-on items, and other items. City Manager VanDerworp reported there is an Add-on item regarding utility line relocations on Sanford Avenue from 29th Street to Lemon Avenue due to the expansion of Sanford Avenue by Seminole County. City Manager VanDerworp said them is a revised Agenda cover memo for PH- 1, first reading of Ordinance No. 3518 to rezone property at 1000 Upsala Road, which includes the Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendations. City Manager VanDerworp requested that Item C-7, authorization to retain professional firms for professional appraisal services, be removed from the Consent Agenda. Continued discussion regarding PBA building. City Manager VanDerworp reported the certificate of insurance was last paid on July 28, 1998. He said he will call the AmVets to give them the oppommity to renew their insurance, naming the City as additional insured. E718672 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 3:30 P.M.

Commissioner MeClanahan said he would make amotion tonight to rename the park. City Manager VanD erworp said there is a request from Westlake Apartments, Regular Agenda Item-4, regarding a time extension to pay impact fees.

Ordinance No. 3520 was read by title. Mayor Dale reported that although this item is not a public hearing, the Commission would hear from those persons present to speak for, or in opposition to, Ordinance No. 3520. No one appeared. Commissioner Eekstein moved on the first reading of Ordinance No. 3520, entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SANFORD, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 17, MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC, ARTICLE II, OF THE CITY CODE ENTITLED STOPPING, STANDING AND PARKING, SECTION 17-23(c)(11) OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF SANFORD AMENDING THE PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON CITY EASEMENTS OR PARKWAYS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, CONFLICTS, AND EFFECTIVE DATE. Art Harris reported there are several subdivisions that have narrow streets and grass to the curb and people cannot park on the street because it is difficult for traffic to maneuver. He suggested the ordinance be restrictive to large trucks and to not allow overnight parking, thus allowing ample parking when necessary. Commissioner Eckstein withdrew his motion and echoed the 172 E718672 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 7:00 P.M. Regular Meeting November 99 concerns of Mr. Hm~% and said the ordinance should be tweaked perhaps to confine the parking restrictions to commercial areas or main roads, however, there are neighborhoods where problems will arise which will make the ordinance unenforceable. The intent of the ordinance is fine if it could be tweaked. Mayor Dale said the City's Land Development Regulations require off- street parking in residential areas and the ordinance would not prohibit parking on the street. Mr. Harris said streets in older neighborhoods are narrow and it is difficult for cars to get by if cars are parked on opposites sides of the street. Mayor Dale said that parking on the grass in the right-of-way causes the grass to die and therefore creates a blight. The ordinance allows the City Commission or the Administrative Official to authorize a motor vehicle to park in or on a City easement or a right-of- way. City Attorney Colbert said the ordinance is legally enforceable. Mayor Dale said the Police Department would issue a warning ticket on the windshield of the vehicle in violation and give thirty-six hours for removal, and if not removed, then tow the vehicle. The ordinance will be complaint driven, not pro-active. Steven Myers, 718 Oak Avenue, reported that people park in the right-of-way in his neighborhood, that he agrees with some aspects of the ordinance and there could be a provision regarding holiday parking, and that it is necessary to have an ordinance that addresses the parking problems. Nell Snow, Kaywood, said that people park in the fight-of-way in her neighborhood because they don't want to park on the street and take the risk of someone hitting their vehicle. She said that police services could be better spent on fighting crime than on where people park their cars. Commissioner Lessard moved on the first reading of Ordinance No. 3520, that it be tweaked before second reading to address the issues, and said there needs to be a very lenient waming period to educate the public. Mayor Dale passed the gavel to Commissioner Eckstein and seconded the motion. Commissioner McClanahan asked whether the ordinance would void prior approvals for parking. Mayor Dale said the ordinance specifically allows the City Commission or the Administrative Official to allow parking. City Attomey Colbert said the ordinance states that it shall be unlawful for any person to park any motor vehicle in or on a City easement or on a parkway unless authorized by the City Commission or Administrative Official, and the interpretation of the Court would be that it would take a separate act to rescind a prior authorization for parking. Af[er discussion, the motion was passed upon roll call vote as follows: Mayor-Commissioner Dale Aye Commissioner Eckstein Nay Commissioner Williams Aye Commissioner Lessard Aye Commissioner McClanahan Aye Commissioner Eckstein passed the gavel to Mayor Dale. Request from Westlake Apartments for time extension to pay impact fees. City Manager VanDerworp reported that Westlake Apartments requested that the City issue a building permit for the project under the stipulation that construction will not commence until such time that the impact fees are paid, because the construction funding requires having the permit in hand at the dosing table. This will enable them to consummate the transaction and deliver the appropriate funds to the City of Sanford. On recommendation of the City Manager, Commissioner Eckstein moved to authorize issuance of a building permit for Westlake Apartments, contingent upon approval of building plans, with impact fees to be paid prior to commencement of any construction, and within 120 days of issuance of the permit.
