addressed the Board to advise he agrees with staff's recommendation and is present to

answer any questions the Board may have.

With regard to public participation, no one spoke in support or opposition, and public

Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Vice Chairman Herr, to adopt Ordinance

#2024-10 enacting a Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to C-3 (General Commercial &

IOA Properties PD Rezone - Consider the second reading of an

Ordinance Rezoning a property from C-1 (Retail Commercial) to PD

(Planned Development) to allow overnight boarding at Dogtopia located

on the north side of W SR 434, east of Interstate 4 on approximately

13.66 acres; (IOA Properties, LLC, Applicant) District3 - Constantine

(Annie Sillaway, Senior Planner)

2024-0449

Ordinance #2024-11

D.O. #23-20000013

Ms. Sillaway presented the item as outlined in the agenda memorandum.

With regard to public participation, Angelo Drago addressed the Board to express his

concerns and noted that the owner is parking his semi truck along their neighborhood's

back wall, and it is running all night.

No one else spoke in support or opposition, and public input was closed.

Public Comment Form was received and filed.

Commissioner Constantine stated that the Dogtopia business could not be in C-1

zoning, so they are asking for a PD, but in the Development Order, that is the only use

that would be allowed outside of the C-1 zoning.

Ms. Hammock agreed stating that currently, the C-1 zoning allows the grooming facility

and the doggie daycare, and that Dogtopia is already there and that is the existing use.

However, they want to expand their operation and offer overnight boarding, but C-1

does not allow overnight boarding. So, in order to permit the use, they are requesting

to rezone to Planned Development, but the only permitted uses within the Planned

Development are C-1 (Retail Commercial) uses and overnight boarding for animals.

Commissioner Constantine noted that the business is already there and that part of the

Development Order is they have to have the sound barriers approved before they can

have the overnight boarding. He asked if there had been any previous discussion

about the semi truck being parked at the back wall, and Ms. Hammock responded this

was the first she had heard about that. She said that perhaps it is a Code Enforcement

issue and could be addressed once a complaint is made. Commissioner Constantine

advised that Mr. Drago has the right to lodge a complaint and he could talk with Ms.

Hammock to find out how to do that.

Motion by Commissioner Constantine, seconded by Commissioner Lockhart, to adopt

Ordinance #2024-11 enacting a rezone from C-1 (Retail Commercial) to PD (Planned

Development); and approve the associated Development Order and Master

Development Plan on approximately 13.66 acres, located on the north side of West SR

434, east of I-4; IOA Properties, LLC, Applicant; as described in the proof of

publication.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

3066 Kingfisher Point - Consider approval of a 1,244 square foot boat

dock/house located on the south side of Kingfisher Point, approximately

Kingfisher Point (Alan Horn, Applicant). District1 - Dallari (Mary Robinson,

Planner)

2024-0462

D.O. #24-56000001

Ms. Robinson addressed the Board and presented the item as outlined in the agenda

memorandum.

Alan Horn addressed the Board stating he is representing the owner, Mr. and Mrs.

Gregory Luke, and Fender Marine Construction, the contractor on the project. He

advised they would be demolishing an existing dock. They are lengthening it but

lessening the width, so the square footage will not change.

With regard to public participation, no one spoke in support or opposition, and public

input was closed.

Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Vice Chairman Herr, to approve the

request for a 1,244 square foot boat dock/house located on the south side of Kingfisher

Point, approximately 3,313 feet south of Brumley Road, more particularly known as

3066 Kingfisher Point; Alan Horn, Applicant; as described in the proof of publication.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

Commissioner Lockhart questioned why the requests for boat docks come to them for

approval. She believes it is because the Code is worded that way. She remembers

the Board thinking that maybe they should just change that in the Code if this is a

self-imposed situation. She asked if this can be researched by staff and then come

back to the Board with why this is the case. Commissioner Constantine agreed.

Chairman Zembower stated he remembers the conversation, but also noted that

situation was different in that there were two landowners at odds with each other. That

aside, he thinks they are all on the same page with this. Mr. Gray confirmed he will

have this looked at.

39.

5819 Bear Lake Circle - Consider approval of a 1,725 square foot boat

dock/house on the north side of Bear Lake Circle, approximately 418 feet

west of Linneal Beach Drive, more particularly known as 5819 Bear Lake

Circle; (Alan Horn, Applicant). District3 - Constantine (Mary Robinson,

Planner)

2024-0463

Continued to June 11, 2024 BCC

Ms. Robinson presented the item as outlined in the agenda memorandum.

With regard to public participation, no one spoke in support or opposition, and public

input was closed.

Commissioner Constantine said he believes this is asking for forgiveness and not

permission; this is a house and it has already been built. No neighbor has contacted

him to complain about this. He does wish the property owner had gotten the permits

beforehand. As Commissioner Lockhart stated earlier, they need to have some kind of

consistency when it comes to boat docks and exactly what comes to the Board and

what does not. He would feel uncomfortable denying this because it has already been

built.

Motion by Commissioner Constantine, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to approve

a 1,725 square foot boat dock/house on the north side of Bear Lake Circle,

approximately 418 feet west of Linneal Beach Drive, more particularly known as 5819

Bear Lake Circle; Alan Horn, Applicant.

Under discussion, Commissioner Lockhart indicated there are a couple of different

issues and she also has a follow-up question. She stated the forgiveness-rather-

than-permission thing has become pervasive because there is no penalty, unless Ms.

Robinson can tell her they have paid some sort of fine or there has been some sort of

penalty.

Ms. Robinson answered that this particular property was scheduled for the special

magistrate, and she had a discussion with the Building folks that do the code

enforcement, and it has been put on hold since he was applying for a permit.

Commissioner Lockhart opined that as a Board, they need to ensure they are making

decisions not based on whether or not neighbors are complaining, because somebody

may be lucky or unlucky in their certain situation but have committed the same type of

infraction. Whether or not they have a cranky neighbor should not be determining the

outcome of the situation. Ms. Robinson noted that since this was started without a

permit, he will have to pay a double permit fee.

Commissioner Lockhart said she has a question for the property owner. Brian Smith,

property owner, addressed the Board. Commissioner Lockhart questioned whether he

hired someone to do this work and he responded, that yes, he hired a friend. He hunts

with him and does not know if he is a licensed contractor or not. He trusts his work

because he had done some things inside his home also like base boards, windows and

door trim. Commissioner Lockhart explained that windows also require permits.

Maverick VonHerbulis, McKee Construction Co., addressed the Board as he is the new

licensed contractor hired to do the work. He noted the presentation is calling it a

boathouse and a dock, but the boathouse was already there. Mr. Smith was doing

some dock work which is how this started. The 1,725 is the square footage of the

overall dock that is there. They are here today to get approval to add the extra 500

square feet to the dock.

Commissioner Lockhart said that is interesting because that is not what staff's

presentation was. Her understanding was that the dock had been demolished. Ms.

Robinson replied that is what the property owner had told her. Then they received the

stop work order for replacing the siding on the boathouse.

Commissioner Herr commented that you can demolish a dock without demolishing the

boathouse. The boathouse actually looks like it is sitting up towards the land. It looks

like there was cause for the dock to be replaced, which is what they have done; they

demolished it to replace it, and that was done without permitting. She pointed out that

the boathouse is not 1,700 square feet; that is the total square footage including the

dock. The boathouse could be there and not be demolished. The dock could be

demolished and the repair to the siding could still happen to the house that didn't get

demolished.

Chairman Zembower asked if the current, existing structure had been permitted. Ms.

Robinson said she will have to get back to him on that. She did do some research on

docks around the area and their relative size to this one, and there is only one that is

about 1,500 square feet that this Board did approve. She thinks the existing dock has

been there for many years.

Chairman Zembower remarked he thinks there are a lot of unanswered questions that

he is hearing from the Commission.

Mr. Gray commented there seems to be some things that have been missed in the

review, so they could continue this and bring it back at a later date.

Commissioner Constantine withdrew his original motion and made the following motion:

Motion by Commissioner Constantine, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to continue

to June 11, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as possible, the request for

approval of a 1,725 square foot boatdock/house on the north side of Bear Lake Circle,

approximately 418 feet west of Linneal Beach Drive, more particularly known as 5819

Bear Lake Circle; Alan Horn, Applicant; as described in the proof of publication.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

Commissioner Lockhart asked for clarification on what the process is for staying code

enforcement action. They heard that in this situation, there was a conversation and

then the code enforcement action was just held off. Mr. Gray noted they had just

discussed this and they will address it.

Mr. Gray reminded that there is not a second meeting this month, so the next BCC meeting is

scheduled for June 11, 2024.

X. DISTRICT COMMISSIONER REPORTS

District 5 - Commissioner Herr

Vice Chairman Herr advised the Commissioners had received a quarterly update from Rescue

Outreach Mission (received and filed) and stated there are some really good results

out-pacing where they were last year, certainly out-pacing where they were the two years

before that. They also celebrated the Leadership Seminole class project with a ribbon cutting

to the new bathrooms there and a check that was presented for $22,000 which was the

remainder after the fundraiser was done. She encouraged the Commissioners to visit and

check out the garden in the back that is also feeding the residents on a daily basis.

District 1 - Commissioner Dallari

Commissioner Dallari commended the Sheriff's Department for the event they held for the

Law Enforcement Heroes Memorial.

He advised that Omari Jones, a young man from Oviedo, just qualified to participate in the

boxing division of the 2024 Olympics to be held in Paris. He requested they send a

congratulatory note signed by the Chairman to also wish him well. There will be a big sendoff

for him and he will provide that date once he has it.

District 3 - Commissioner Constantine

Commissioner Constantine discussed several events that he attended recently along with

upcoming meetings and events.

He noted at the last CALNO meeting, Sanford brought up the fact that they are putting in their

budget between $15,000 to $20,000 for Rescue Outreach Mission. He noted he told the

cities, at that time, that all of the cities should be putting money into their budgets to help

ROM, because that is the only place that they have more than 100 beds in all of Seminole

County.

District 4 - Commissioner Lockhart

Commissioner Lockhart reported that as their representative on Central Florida Commission

on Homelessness (CFCH) that part of the conversation lately has had to do with shelters and

what they should and shouldn't be. With the Governor's recent enactment of the new

legislation regarding sleeping in public places, there has been a lot of discussion in the region

about what they want to see from a regional approach on homelessness. She distributed a

document explaining this was a statement that the CFCH itself made, and she made the

suggestion that each one that represents an entity go back to that entity with this statement to

see if it is something they would want to put into some form of a proclamation or resolution,

and adopt it as their own as an entity in the region, and not just as a member of the CFCH,

which would give it a little more weight. She read aloud the document entitled "Resolution on

Low-Barrier Shelters" (received and filed).

Motion by Chairman Zembower, seconded by Vice Chairman Herr, to bring back to the Board

for approval a document adopting the "Resolution on Low-Barrier Shelters" produced by the

Central Florida Commission on Homelessness.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

Commissioner Lockhart reported that, as their representative on the Central Florida Zoo

Board, she sent a letter of support for their grant application to the Florida Division of Cultural

Affairs.

She noted she heard someone congratulate Amy Kirkland from Seminole State College and

said they have not yet been awarded the "Prize" yet, but advised they are 1 of 20 finalists in

the entire nation nominated for the Aspen Institute's Prize for Community College Excellence,

which is a very big deal, especially in the state college realm.

Commissioner Lockhart discussed her tour of the Hurricane Hunter plane and thanked Alan

Harris, Emergency Management Director, and his team.

District 2 - Chairman Zembower

Motion by Chairman Zembower, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to appoint Erin Archey to

the Noise Abatement Committee (SANAC).

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

Chairman Zembower talked about events and meetings he attended, and reported on the

Orlando Sanford International Airport.

XI. CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

41.

Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a Resolution updating

the Operating Policies & Procedures of the Seminole County Board of

County Commissioners

2024-0647

Discussion was held regarding the requested updates, and it was the consensus of the

Board that they schedule a work session to finalize the document.

Commissioner Lockhart commented that there have been times in the past when

members of the public, applicants or people testifying for public hearings, maybe have

said some things that were outside of the bounds of facts. She noticed that there are

other jurisdictions that swear in people who intend to give testimony during

quasi-judicial hearings. She thought that would have several impacts and one is that it

would potentially make someone think twice about the importance of what they are

about to say before they are testifying in a quasi-judicial matter, and it would help to

express that these quasi-judicial items really, for the Board, should be based on factual

testimony and that it is not opinion and not feelings; they are things that are able to be

legally substantiated. She wanted to throw that out there as something the Board may

want to consider adopting as a part of their procedures. Discussion ensued.

Commissioner Lockhart suggested they ask the County Attorney at some point to look

into why some jurisdictions do it, are there teeth, how would it be implemented, and is it

worth doing or not.

Ms. Latorre expressed she can look into that. Her experience has been that for client

cities she has represented, they have always sworn in witnesses during quasi-judicial

hearings, but the county she worked for previously did not. She advised when you are

conducting quasi-judicial matters, it is best practice to swear in your witnesses because

it is just better for the record. You are looking for competent, substantial evidence.

There are consequences if a misrepresentation were to be found going forward, legally,

for the action that was voted on and for the person that gave the testimony.

Chairman Zembower asked that staff report back to them with their recommendation as

to whether witnesses should be sworn in before quasi-judicial hearings.
