STAFF REPORTS.
Mr, Gibson informed the board about the Riverwalk Grand Opening plans.
COMMISSIONERS REPORTS.
Mr . VonHerbulis reported that he noticed there were neon lights in the windows of the new Pub at White Cedar
Avenue and mentioned they were against the gateway corridor requirements. Mr. Gibson stated that he would
check on it.
Mr. Skat stated that Mr. Willard should not have opened his presentation the way he did by bashing staff. Mr.
Gibson stated that there has been poor communication throughout this project and thanked Mr.. Skat for his support
of the staff.
Mr. Skat stated that he read in the Minutes that Seminole County received the letter regarding the issues along SR
46. Mr. Gibson reported that Kevin Grace acknowledged receipt of the City's letter and indicated that he forwarded
it to Code Enforcement.
Mr. Skat reported that he was advised that the vacant property next to Cattleman's where the vehicles are being
parked/stored is located within Seminole County's jurisdiction. Mr. Gibson informed him that he spoke with
Seminole County regarding the use of the vacant property.
Mr, Volk reported several junk vehicles being parked at a storage facility south of SR46 on Airport Blvd.
Mr. VonHerbuhs reported that he watched the Seminole County Planning & zoning Commission meeting on TV
the other night and during the discussion of Celery Avenue, the county staff ran Sanford in the ground and they
stated that they were surprised no one from Sanford was attendance at the meeting. Mr. Gibson informed the board
that the City received a copy of the Joint Planning Agreement on Wednesday, which was the same day of the
meeting. The County staff desired to have attendance by the City, however, in lieu of attendance they would accept
written input. A letter was forwarded from the City acknowledging we were generally on the same page with their
land use policies particularly along Celery Avenue. Part of the JPA did include transferring Celery Avenue to the
City by 2008, but there was not sufficient information regarding the condition of the right -of -way to submit a
recommendation to the City Commission. Mr. Gibson stated that he would call the county regarding this issue.
Mr. Robert asked about the North White Cedar right -of -way acquisition. Mr_ Gibson reported that North White
Cedar and Church Street are Seminole County rights -of -way and they are willing to defer to Sanford to improve
North White Cedar Road. In speaking with Tom George, Public Works Director, he says it would be an additional
burden on the City to maintain these roads, including Celery Avenue, because they do not meet the City's
standards. There are opportunities for the City to work with developers in the area to contribute to the required
improvements.
ADJOURNMENT.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:37 P.M.
