V. WORKSESSION  
27. Code Enforcement Update (Mike Rhodes, Compliance Coordinator)  
Mr. Rhodes addressed the Board and presented the Code Enforcement Update.  
Vice Chairman Herr agreed with all of the recommendations. She is in support of  
Option No. 3, reorganizing the structure. Consolidating the time for all of this to happen  
is important. She is a huge supporter of getting rid of lien hearings, the guide needs to  
be replaced with an enforceable document, and there needs to be a minimum standard  
code. She would like to consider or research the opportunity of moving entirely away  
from a volunteer board to where it is consistently run by people that are in the role to  
make those decisions, whether that is a magistrate or some other form. She is also in  
favor in moving as much off of it off of the BCC that they can. The portal is critical, but  
use of the portal by the entire team once it is reconfigured, including the  
Commissioners, is also critical. The portal should not be just for the citizens; it needs  
to have a staff component also. The portal needs to be easily accessible to the public.  
And once it is in the portal, it should be automatically populating dashboards.  
Commissioner Dallari stated it is important they take all of the recommendations and  
move forward. He would also ask staff for a timeline for it to be implemented and the  
actual cost.  
Commissioner Lockhart echoed everything that has already been said. She  
questioned about the annual appointment of special magistrate because she does not  
recall them ever doing that. County Attorney Kate Latorre advised there is a contract,  
but she does not recall what the term is. Commissioner Lockhart commented it  
possibly was something that was done in the County Attorney's Office, but if it says in  
the Code that it is supposed to come to the Board. They need to either do that or take  
it out of the Code.  
With regard to public participation, Morgan Voke spoke in support of the  
recommendations and made additional suggestions for solutions not addressed in the  
update.  
No one else spoke and public input was closed.  
Public Comment Form was received and filed.  
Brief Board discussion ensued regarding the lien amnesty program.  
Sheriff Dennis Lemma addressed the Board and spoke in support of the  
recommendations.  
Commissioner Constantine stated he is in support of Recommendation Option No. 3.  
Commissioner Lockhart also supports Recommendation Option No. 3. She concurs  
with eliminating lien hearings as a separate process, getting rid of penalty  
recommendations as suggested, the immediate abatement for the health and  
sanitation issues, adopting the International Property Maintenance Code, and all other  
recommendations in the presentation. She thinks the amnesty program may need to  
be instituted in some fashion differently than they did before as they start to implement  
the new process and procedures.  
Commissioner Dallari and Vice Chairman Herr commented they think Mr. Rhodes  
should stay on through the execution of the new process. Vice Chairman Herr added  
based on the current data, she does not know they need more staff. They need the  
organization restructure before deciding on head count. Mr. Gray advised Mr. Rhodes  
is willing to stay on and consult for the transition phase.  
Chairman Zembower stated he needs a cost analysis. He is in support of Option No. 3,  
moving forward sooner rather than later and relieving the Sheriff's Office of this task  
The Chairman confirmed with Mr. Gray and Mr. Rhodes they had Board direction and  
consensus.  
Recess BCC Meeting Until 1:30 P.M.  
Chairman Zembower recessed the meeting at 11:32 a.m.  
Reconvene Meeting at 1:30 P.M.

VI. PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA

28.  
Expedited Building Permits (SB 812) - Consideration of an ordinance  
creating a process for expediting the issuance of building permits for  
residential subdivisions before a final plat is recorded to obtain  
compliance with Senate Bill 812. Countywide. (Dale Hall, Planning  
Division Manager)  
Ordinance #2024-29  
Mr. Hall addressed the Board and presented the item as outlined in the agenda  
memorandum. There were no questions from the Board.  
With regard to public participation, no one spoke and public input was closed.  
Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Vice Chairman Herr, to adopt Ordinance  
#2024-29 amending Part 2 (Procedures for Securing Approval of Plats) of Chapter 35  
(Subdivision Regulations) of Section 35.16 (Home Construction Prior to Plat Recording)  
and Section 35.44 (Required Submittals for Final Plat) of the Seminole County Land  
Development Code to establish an expedited residential subdivision building permit  
process pursuant to Section 173.073, Florida Statutes; as described in the proof of  
publication.  
Under discussion, Vice Chairman Herr requested staff make sure there are processes  
in place to back this up. Commissioner Constantine emphasized the only reason this is  
coming forward is because the legislature has made this a mandated requirement of  
expedited building permits. Chairman Zembower requested staff reach out to the  
building development community to advise them of the State mandate and new County  
ordinance.  
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.  
VII. COUNTY ATTORNEY'S REPORT  
No report.  
IIX. COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT AND STAFF PRESENTATIONS  
Mr. Gray reported emergency management is monitoring Hurricane Helene. He will update  
the Commissioners after the executive committee meets tomorrow morning.  
29.  
Rolling Hills Update (Rick Durr, Parks and Recreation Director)  
Mr. Durr addressed the Board and presented the Rolling Hills Update, which was  
followed by Board questions and feedback.  
Commissioner Lockhart requested clarification on the community request for a smaller  
playground and inquired if staff is requesting Board feedback. Mr. Durr reviewed the  
history of the playground. At a community meeting, the public voiced concerns over  
the size and visibility of the playground. They inquired if it could be smaller and/or  
moved to a different location. The playground plan was revised and then presented at  
a later community meeting. There have still been some concerns expressed by the  
community. Staff is looking to the Board for feedback on the size and location of the  
playground.  
Vice Chairman Herr expressed they need shade over the playground itself, not  
necessarily for the adults. The playground size was not the only issue that came up. It  
was how many cars are being accommodated and will it become a regional attraction.  
She inquired what the total number of parking spaces were when it was a golf course  
and what the total number of spaces are now. She stated as long as they are not  
driving more traffic down the street than when it was a golf course, she is okay. She  
would also like to know how many bathroom stalls there will be. She does not want  
that to be a place of high activity. Mr. Durr responded the existing parking lot is single  
slab of asphalt with 68 parking spots. Based on existing Land Development Code and  
design criteria, they have to bring the lot up to code and it will go down to 38 spots.  
They have looked at having a secondary lot which would bring it up to about 90 spots.  
Vice Chairman Herr inquired if they could get it back down to the amount of spots it  
was when it was a golf course. Mr. Durr explained there are also parking spaces  
available along the perimeter of the property with 20 spaces in the small lot off of North,  
and a couple of parallel spaces that will be created on Raymond and up off of Palm  
Springs. Mr. Durr advised there are currently four stalls in the men's restroom and four  
stalls in the women's restroom. With the size of both the playground and the parking  
shrinking, they will value engineer that down. They are also looking at having one  
central restroom or multiple family stalls with their own entrance, with the idea of  
making flexible spaces to accommodate special needs.  
Commissioner Dallari stated he wanted to make sure the large trees are staying and  
there should be curbs in the roundabouts. Mr. Durr advised staff, including Public  
Works, met with Fire Chief Kinley to go through the design plans, and they have been  
approved by Chief Kinley. The Commissioner stated with the new roads going in, this  
would be one of the few times to put in sanitary. He Inquired if the restrooms are going  
to connect to sanitary or septic. Mr. Durr advised they will look into that.  
Commissioner Dallari requested they put numbers on the renderings so the  
Commissioners know if something is being removed or expanded. When this comes  
back, the Board will need to know the operation and maintenance.  
Commissioner Constantine reiterated some concerns of the citizens have been design  
and size of playground, soil stabilization, putting in the different parking areas,  
opportunity to fix road system and drainage system. He mentioned family restrooms  
can make the impact smaller. He likes the potential of having sewer, if possible.  
With regard to public participation the following spoke and addressed their concerns,  
including the Rolling Hills website being taken down, the size of the playground,  
amount of parking, traffic, restroom size and security, roundabouts will divert  
cut-through traffic through the neighborhood: Kit Bradshaw, Michael Smith, Cheryl  
Adamkiewicz, Bill Spivey, and Larry Ziebarth.  
No one else spoke and public input was closed.  
Public Comment Forms were received and filed.  
Mr. Durr addressed public comment concerns. He explained the MSBU went towards  
the cleanup of the groundwater and soils. The soils were completed within six months  
of the purchase of the property. There is one more well left they are working on with  
FDEP. The restrooms are located in passive parks throughout the county. They will  
have lockable doors and the area will be patrolled. They will be designed so they are  
not an attractive nuisance. Overall, the size of the restrooms, parking, and the  
playground will not be the largest in the county's park system. He clarified the FCT  
grant requires parking. Since the County has purchased the property and started  
cleaning it up, it has removed 30,000 square feet of impervious buildings. He advised  
the roundabouts are being implemented to reduce current cut-through traffic. Further  
Board comments and discussion ensued.  
Chairman Zembower recessed the meeting at 3:19 p.m.  
IX. DISTRICT COMMISSIONER REPORTS  
District 3 - Commissioner Constantine  
Commissioner Constantine reported on past and upcoming events and meetings.  
District 4 - Commissioner Lockhart  
Commissioner Lockhart reported on events and meetings. The Commissioner advised she  
wants to be sure she is reflecting the direction of the BCC regarding the Lynx funding  
agreement. There is a Lynx funding model that has changed without direction of the Lynx  
board in terms of the NeighborLink funding and the way it is calculated. Seminole and  
Orange Counties will pay additional funds because of the change. It is likely that Lynx will ask  
the board to change the funding model at some point in the future, but they have not done  
that yet. Until the funding model is changed by the board, the County should be billed on the  
current funding model that was approved by the board. She would like to vote against the  
funding agreement. No objections were voiced.  
District 1 - Commissioner Dallari  
Commissioner Dallari reported on past and upcoming events and meetings.
