Miyaji Sushi & Hibachi Special Exception - Consider a Special Exception  
to allow a restaurant within 1,000 feet of a school to obtain an alcohol  
license in the PD (Planned Development) district on 9.51 acres, located  
on the south side of W. Lake Mary Boulevard, east of Sun Drive;  
BS2025-08 (Wen Zheng, Applicant) District4 - Lockhart (Hilary Padin,  
Planner)  
Ms. Padin addressed the Board and presented the item as outlined in the agenda  
memorandum.  
Wen Zheng, Applicant, spoke regarding his request.  
With regard to public participation, no one spoke and public input was closed.  
Commissioner Lockhart stated there are a lot of different restaurants in the shopping  
center that have a full bars, but because each of the different units are being handled  
separately, they will each have to come in separately. She had inquired during her  
briefing if it would make more sense to make it an allowable use for that entire parcel.  
The County Attorney's Office advised that would be reopening the whole PD, which  
may not be the route they want to take. Looking for something to make this a little  
more efficient moving forward, they talked about changing the way they calculate and  
measure in the future so business owners won't have to come in when there's an  
obvious separation.  
Deputy County Attorney Neysa Borkert advised in the LDC amendments that will be  
coming to the Board for consideration, staff is looking at changing how they measure  
from businesses to schools or to religious facilities the same across the board.  
Commissioner Lockhart confirmed with Ms. Borkert that would be a less restrictive  
change.  
Commissioner Constantine mentioned there are private and charter schools, and the  
distance for the State is 500 feet, which is less restrictive than the County's. He  
suggested they look at that as a difference between public schools and all other types  
of schools, because many of them are in shopping centers. Ms. Borket responded the  
plan is to also bring back what the County's requirements are versus what the State  
requires.  
Motion by Commissioner Lockhart, seconded by Commissioner Constantine, to  
approve the Special Exception with the conditions stated in the Development Order to  
allow a restaurant within 1,000 feet of a school to obtain an alcohol license in the PD  
(Planned Development) district on 9.51 acres, located on the south side of West Lake  
Mary Boulevard, east of Sun Drive; Wen Zheng, Applicant; D.O. #25-3200008; as  
described in the proof of publication.  
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.  
Public Hearings - Legislative  
25.  
Consider an ordinance amending Chapter 245 of the Seminole County  
Code to adopt a Five-Cent (5) Local Option Fuel Tax pursuant to section  
336.02 (1)(b), Florida Statutes on every gallon of motor fuels sold in  
Seminole County effective January 1, 2026, for a period of fifty (50) years,  
providing for collection, administration, and use of the tax proceeds for  
transportation expenditures. Countywide (Timothy Jecks, Management &  
Budget Director)  
Mr. Jecks addressed the Board and presented the item as outlined in the agenda  
memorandum. The presentation was followed by brief Board questions and  
comments.  
With regard to public participation, the following spoke in opposition: Win Adams,  
George Sellery (documents received and filed), and Richard Creedon.  
No one else spoke and public input was closed.  
Public Comment Forms were received and filed.  
Upon Vice Chairman Herr's request, Mr. Jecks explained the statute does not require  
any sunset date. Staff worked with the County Attorney's Office and decided to put in a  
50-year date, which can be reviewed and repealed by the Board at any time. Staff's  
thought was they have a structural deficit that the general fund has to fund  
transportation costs. It's been happening for a number of years. This will help offset  
that cost. Chairman Zembower confirmed with Mr. Jecks it will be reviewed every year  
with the budget.  
Motion by Commissioner Constantine, seconded by Vice Chairman Herr, to adopt  
Ordinance #2025-16 amending Chapter 245 of the Seminole County Code to adopt a  
Five-Cent (5) Local Option Fuel Tax pursuant to section 336.02 (1)(b), Florida Statutes  
on every gallon of motor fuels sold in Seminole County effective January 1, 2026, for a  
period of fifty (50) years, providing for collection, administration, and use of the tax  
proceeds for transportation expenditures; as described in the proof of publication.  
Under discussion, there were Board comments and questions, and the Commissioners  
expressed why they would or would not support the motion.  
Districts 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.  
District 1 voted NAY.  
The motion passes with a supermajority vote of 4 to 1.  
26.

Code relating to the Public Service Tax; amending section 245.102(a) to

Motion passes 4 to 1.  
Chairman Zembower recessed the meeting at 2:53 p.m., reconvening at 3:06 p.m.  
VII. COUNTY ATTORNEY'S REPORT  
County Attorney Kate Latorre reported the Sheriff's Office Chief Counsel recently discussed  
with her a challenge the Sheriff's Office has had enforcing the County's Sexual  
Offender/Sexual Predator Ordinance. There was an individual designated as a sexual  
offender who was seeking permission to live within 1,000 feet of a playground, which is  
restricted by County Code. The Sheriff's Office interpreted the definition of playground to  
include a community swimming pool because the playground definition includes the phrase  
"an established or dedicated outdoor area for recreation and play." The Circuit Court Judge  
disagreed and allowed the individual to have his residence within 1,000 feet of the community  
pool. She inquired if the Board wants to clarify the ordinance to include community swimming  
pools/bodies of water in the definition of playground in the ordinance. Board discussion  
ensued, and there was consensus to bring the ordinance back for Board consideration.  
Commissioner Lockhart requested Ms. Latorre also ask the Sheriff's Chief Counsel what other  
clarification they may desire in other areas, as well.

IX. DISTRICT COMMISSIONER REPORTS  
District 5 - Commissioner Herr  
Vice Chairman Herr reported on events, meetings, and conferences she attended.  
District 1 - Commissioner Dallari  
No report.  
District 3 - Commissioner Constantine  
Commissioner Constantine reported on events, meetings, and conferences he attended.  
The Commissioner advised on August 19, 2025, there will be a celebration of life held at  
Florida Statue University in Tallahassee honoring Former Politician and FSU President John  
Thrasher.  
Commissioner Constantine reported the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is  
more than likely going to approve a hunt of 187 bears in the state. Even though a fourth of  
the entire bear population is in Seminole County and surrounding, they are only suggesting  
that 18 be taken. That is primarily because of the County's Urban Bear Ordinance and how  
successful they have been in maintaining the population. The Commissioner does not think  
there should be a bear hunt in Seminole County. He understand they have no control over  
the State. However, he will be sending an e-mail to FWC Chairman Rodney Barreto  
requesting if they are going to do the hunt, they don't do it in Seminole. He stated if anyone  
would like to join him in doing that, he would be happy to share the request to Chairman  
Barreto.  
28.  
Approve the District appointment of Mark Smith to the Parks and  
Preservation Advisory Committee for a term of 1/1/2025 - 12-31-2026.  
Motion by Commissioner Constantine, seconded by Vice Chairman Herr, to appoint  
Mark Smith to the Parks and Preservation Advisory Committee for a term of January 1,  
2025 through December 31, 2026.  
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.  
District 4 - Commissioner Lockhart  
Animal Services Citations  
Commissioner Lockhart stated she has been working with the County Attorney's Office and  
Animal Services regarding a situation that has been ongoing since 2023 in her district. She  
distributed a list of over 30 varying citations for one residence (received and filed). The  
neighbors are getting upset that infractions continue to happen. While the individual  
continues to be fined and Animal Services is doing everything they are supposed to do, the  
behavior continues. Each citation has been appealed by the individual to county court, and  
the citations have been upheld. The highlighted citations on the list remain unpaid after being  
court ordered to pay them. Section 20.137 of the County Codes allows the BCC to request  
that the court issue an order to show cause for anyone who has failed to pay the civil  
penalties they have been ordered to pay. She is requesting the Board give direction to the  
County Attorney to file this with the court. Discussion ensued.  
Motion by Commissioner Lockhart, seconded by Vice Chairman Herr, to request the Board  
authorize the County Attorney to request the county court issue an order to show cause as to  
why this resident has not paid their civil fines.  
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.  
CFCRC  
The Commissioner reported at the last Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission meeting,  
there was a presentation to talk about SunRail weekend service and what it would take in  
order to bring that to fruition (presentation received and filed). The biggest hinderance right  
now besides funding is the lead time to buy the additional locomotives needed in order to  
comply with FRA regulations. That lead time is approximately five years. To lease a  
locomotive could be 12 to 18 months. There is only one company right now offering leases,  
and while they have signed some lease agreements, they have not actually delivered on any  
of those locomotives. The capital cost to purchase three locomotives and cab cars is  
$61,800,000. To lease, if available, it is $3 million a year. The actual annual operating  
expense to run on Saturday and Sunday for 40 trains is about $29 million. The current  
partner funding agreement could be modified to cover these costs. When looking at the $29  
million spread annually across five funding partners, it is her opinion that the benefit to the  
community to run the system nights and weekends is nominal when considering the cost to  
run roads. She advised there will be a CFCRC work session, but she wanted them to be  
aware this is what is happening to make it work. Discussion ensued.  
Fireworks  
Commissioner Lockhart reported she received calls from a couple of citizens about bottle  
rocket fireworks in their neighborhood, which came through their pool screens and also  
started a small fire in a backyard. The citizens are asking what can be done to keep people  
from shooting bottle rockets into their pool property and causing damage. The Sheriff's Office  
was not able to help because fireworks are legal per State statute on certain dates. In talking  
with the County Attorney's Office, Orange County has recently adopted some language that  
would help law enforcement to look at situations where there are actual projectiles in the air  
that damage other people's property. She is requesting support to have the County Attorney's  
Office look at it further. No objections were voiced.  
District 2 - Chairman Zembower/Chairman's Report  
Chairman Zembower reported he has had a citizen request again about taking over private  
roads and drainage systems. The Administrative Code clearly says the County has no  
responsibility to maintain them. The County can get involved in creating an MSBU if that is  
something the community wants. He inquired if the Board would consider looking at the  
Admin Code to decide whether they wanted to take over private roads and drainage systems.  
After Board discussion, there was not consensus to move forward with the request.  
The Chairman reported on events, meetings, and conferences he has attended.  
X. CHAIRMAN'S REPORT  
No submissions.  
XI. PUBLIC COMMENT (Items not Related to the Agenda)  
Leslie Grubl spoke on the budget. She suggested having the County's lobbyists look at the  
State's unfunded mandates.  
Public Comment Form was received and filed.  
Emory Green, Jr., Midway Coalition Executive Director, affirmed, acknowledged, and thanked  
each Commissioner for prioritizing the Midway-Canaan community's needs to ensure they are  
never left behind or forgotten.  
Public Comment Form not received and Filed.
