Upon roll call the following members were present: Chairman Randy Harris, District 4; Vice-Chairman Parnell Townley, District 3; Commissioner Andy Kesselring, District 1; Commissioner Larry Cretul, District 2; and Commissioner Steve F. Henning, District 5. Also present were Deputy Clerk Miriam Pauley, County Attorney Gordon B. Johnston, Planning Department staff, a member of the news media and twenty citizens. Comprehensive Plan/Ordinances - Deputy Clerk Pauley presented Proof of Publication of a display advertisement entitled "Notice of Change of Land Use, Marion County Comprehensive Plan" published in the Star Banner newspaper on November 28, 2001. The Notice stated the Board would consider an ordinance adopting small scale land use changes to the Future Land Use Map. Principal Planner Jimmy Massey advised that the purpose of the public hearing was to consider applications received for the second cycle of 2001 Comprehensive Plan land use amendments. He stated that application 01-S23, by I. Stern Properties, Inc., Owner and Ira Stern, Applicant, was withdrawn. Mr. Massey recommended the following be considered under a Consent Agenda motion because they were approved by both the Planning Department and Planning Commission, no objection letters were received and no one signed up to present comments: 1. 01-S22, Amoco Oil Company, Owner, and H. Michael Heise, Applicant 2. 01-S26, International Associates Development Corp., Owner and Steven H. Gray, Applicant There was no public comment. Commissioner Cretul presented a letter of opposition he received from William Tuck, President of Kwik King Food Stores, dated December 4, 2001, regarding application 01-S22. Upon motion of Commissioner Kesselring, seconded by Commissioner Cretul, the Board approved application 01-S22 granting the land use change from Urban Reserve to Commercial based on findings of compatibility and consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Upon motion of Commissioner Kesselring, seconded by Commissioner Cretul, the Board approved application 01-S26 granting the land use change from Low Density Residential to Commercial based on findings of compatibility and consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Comprehensive Plan - Senior Planner David Dunne presented Application 01-S21 by
Page 2 of 11 James Gard, Owner, and Robert Wilson, Applicant, for a land use change from Rural Land to Commercial on a 2.35 acre parcel. He stated both the Planning staff and Planning Commission recommended denial of the change. Attorney Robert Wilson, applicant, East Silver Springs Boulevard, appeared to comment on the proposed location and described the B-2 zoned 2.35 acre parcel near Orange Lake. He stated the owner wanted to create a low impact commercial use. Mr. Wilson stated that staff objected due to the close proximity to the Rural Activity Center designation and based of findings the proposed use was incompatible with the surrounding land use. He presented fifteen photographs showing the adjacent commercial uses. Mr. Wilson stated the area would probably not transition back to a Rural Activity Center even if the application was denied. Commissioner Henning stated the proposed land use change could add to the existing problems in that area along US 441. Mr. Wilson stated the intended commercial use would not adversely impact the existing activities. He stated the owner proposed to develop a commercial building on the front section of the property which would not impact the residential uses, and would create an additional buffer. Mr. Wilson stated the use would improve the area. He confirmed that a bar was not proposed. Commissioner Cretul out at 9:14 a.m. Mr. Wilson stated the current owner purchased the parcel less than two years ago and there was no commercial designation. Commissioner Kesselring stated concern with how the owner proposed to make the area better if the land use change was approved. Mr. Wilson stated the parcel would not be used for residential purposes, noting the small building on the site was leased and had a value of less than $20,000. He stated the buffer would improve the area. Commissioner Cretul returned at 9:15 a.m. In response to inquiry by Commissioner Kesselring, Mr. Wilson suggested that R-3, multifamily zoning, might be an option. James Gard, property owner, stated there were mobile homes on both sides of the subject parcel. He described the four metal buildings that he proposed to place on the site. Mr. Gard stated there would only be a small amount of square footage available for commercial uses. He confirmed there would not be a bar included. Mr. Gard stated that the trees on the property line were removed for fire protection purposes. A motion was made by Commissioner Henning, seconded by Commissioner Kesselring, to accept the staff and Planning Commission recommendation and findings to deny the land use change from Rural Land to Commercial based on findings that it was not compatible with the surrounding land uses and was not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The motion was approved by the Board.
Page 3 of 11 Comprehensive Plan - Senior Planner Dunne presented Application 01-S24 by Thomas Luffman, Owner, and Keith Seyler, Applicant, for a land use change from Urban Reserve to Commercial on a 3.41 acre parcel. He stated the Planning staff recommended denial and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the change. In response to inquiry by Commissioner Kesselring, Mr. Dunne confirmed there was a designated commercial node on 301 and at Silver Meadows, approximately 1 ½ to 2 miles away. Mr. Ganoe stated that Classic Kitchens, a cabinet shop, was located on a portion of the site which could expand without a land use change. Applicant Keith Seyler, NE 25 th Avenue, appeared for the owner. He stated the owner received a Policy 120 letter regarding vesting, which allowed expansion of the existing business. Mr. Seyler urged approval of the Planning Commission recommendation to allow another commercial building to be constructed on the 3.41 acre parcel with a buffer for the adjacent agricultural properties. He stated it would not be an advantage for the owner of the cabinet shop to expand that building. There was no public comment. A motion was made by Commissioner Henning, seconded by Commissioner Townley, to approve the Planning Commission recommendation to grant the land use change from Urban Reserve to Commercial based on findings of compatibility and consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Henning questioned why staff recommended denial. Mr. Dunne stated it was based on the finding that there was no other commercial development in the area other than Classic Kitchens, currently zoned M-1. Commissioner Kesselring stated that staff indicated there were concerns with development of another commercial node. Mr. Ganoe noted the next commercial node was 1 ½ miles away. The motion was approved by the Board. Comprehensive Plan - Senior Planner Dunne presented Application 01-S25 by Edward K. Seyler and Teresa Moore, Owners, and Edward K. Seyler, Applicant, for a land use change from Rural Land to Commercial on a 1.55 acre parcel. He stated the Planning staff recommended denial and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the change. Commissioner Kesselring noted there was a Rural Activity Center (RAC) near the proposed area and questioned why staff recommended activity be limited at the intersection. Mr. Dunne stated the RAC designation was nearby, however the applicant wanted to extend the land use to allow more commercial uses and presented allowable commercial uses. Mr. Massey stated the primary difference between a RAC and Commercial designation related to the floor area ratio. He stated the property does not meet the specific criteria for a RAC. Commissioner Henning noted there were other contiguous commercial uses in the area. Mr. May stated several years ago a Winn Dixie proposed to construct a store, the rezoning was approved, but construction did not proceed due to demographics of the area. Keith Seyler, NE 25 th Avenue, appeared to request the Board accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approve the land use change.
Page 4 of 11 There was no public comment. A motion was made by Commissioner Townley, seconded by Commissioner Cretul, to approve the land use change from Rural Land to Commercial based on findings of compatibility and consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. The motion was approved by the Board. Comprehensive Plan - Principal Planner Jimmy Massey presented Application 01-S27 by Dinkins & Dinkins, Owner and Steven H. Gray, Applicant, for a land use change from Urban Reserve to Commercial on a 2.85 acre parcel. He stated both the Planning staff and Planning Commission recommended denial of the change. Mr. Massey stated the location on NW 80 th Avenue was a specific concern to Planning staff. In response to inquiry by Chairman Harris, Mr. Massey estimated that approximately 2 ½ acres would be needed when the Department of Transportation (DOT) proceeded with the four-laning project on SR 40. In response to inquiry by Commissioner Kesselring, Mr. Massey stated he had not reviewed DOT s plans for SR 40, but anticipated there would be signalization and turn lanes added at the NW 80 th Avenue intersection. He stated the Rural Activity Center (RAC) designations were used for commercial nodes. Mr. Massey stated there were some basic services not available to area residents, that were needed. He stated that staff was concerned with further extension of commercial activity along NW 80 th Avenue. Upon call for public comment, Attorney Steve Gray, NE 1 st Avenue, representing the applicant, presented a copy of the DOT "Right of Way Map - State Road No. 40" and described the road project for a portion of SR 40, west of I-75. Mr. Gray stated the subject site, zoned B-2, was 2.85 acres and was primarily flat lands with a dense tree line on the north 75 feet which would act as a natural buffer for Sherman Oaks subdivision. He stated both the NE and SE corners of NW 80 th Avenue/SR 40 were already intensely used for commercial uses and the Double Diamond Farm was on the SW corner. Mr. Gray noted the owner of the farm did not object to the land use change to commercial and stated the entrance to Sherman Oaks was approximately ½ mile away. He reviewed photographs on the overhead projector showing the surrounding area and the subject property. Mr. Gray stated the site was adjacent to a busy intersection on a North/West corridor of the County and that commercial development should be encouraged at busy intersections. He stated a drainage retention area would be located on the property and that an existing twostory building on the SE corner would be eliminated due to widening of the road. Mr. Gray stated the subject parcel was across from a convenience store and there was a 75 foot tree buffer on the north side of the site. Mr. Gray stated that 80 th Avenue had originally been designated as a line to allow commercial development at the time the Comprehensive Plan was presented to DCA. He
Page 5 of 11 stated that commercial activity should be clustered at 60 th and 80 th to encourage development of a RAC. Mr. Gray commented on Policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Objectives 1 and 2. He presented a copy of the conceptual site plan for construction of a 16,000 square foot building, showing the location of the water retention area and 75 foot tree buffer. Mr. Gray noted that many residents of Sherman Oaks subdivision were concerned with the commercial use, but due to location the site was not useable for either residential or agricultural purposes. In response to inquiry by the Chairman, Mr. Gray stated that the owner agreed to preserve the 75 foot tree buffer shown on the conceptual site plan. Upon call for public comment, Robert Inglis, NW 2 nd Street, who lives north of the property, stated he objected to the land use change to Commercial. He presented a petition from thirty-four concerned citizens urging denial of the request. Mr. Inglis stated the objections were based on traffic concerns and drainage from the subject site onto Sherman Oaks subdivision property. He stated the timing was not appropriate to change the designation. Helen Thomas, NW 2 nd Street, described the lands located north of the proposed site, which were used for housing development and horses. She stated the rural character should be retained, as well as the 75 foot tree buffer. Ms. Thomas stated that water and sewer services would be provided from the mobile home development. She urged denial of the land use change. Mary Bartlett, NW 2 nd Street, stated the intersection on 80 th Avenue at SR 40 was already dangerous and that it was not appropriate to add more commercial uses. She noted that West Port School was nearby and would expand each year. Ms. Bartlett indicated the traffic light at the intersection did not prevent accidents. Paul Lussier, NW 2 nd Street, stated that he lived near the noisy, smelly sewer plant that would provide services if the land use change was approved. He stated concern with traffic and the impact on the bus stop. Mr. Lussier urged protection of the water quality, birds and wildlife. He stated that now was not an appropriate time to change the land use to commercial. Wanda Negron, NW 2 nd Street, stated she lived north of the proposed site and wanted to protect the country-side quality of life that existed in the area of Sherman Oaks subdivision. She stated the land use should not be changed to commercial, noting the nearby horse farm. Clinton Thomas, NW 2 nd Street, stated he lived directly behind the property proposed to be used for commercial purposes. He stated he opposed the change because the intersection at SR 40 was already busy and dangerous. Mr. Thomas stated that even though DOT proposed to four-lane SR 40, it would be many years before it would be completed. He agreed odor
Page 6 of 11 from the sewage plant was offensive. Mr. Gray stated that the property owner realized many residents opposed changing the land use to commercial. He stated the change to commercial would capture vehicles already using the road so they would not have to go to another commercial area, thus additional traffic would not be created. In response to inquiry by Commissioner Kesselring, Mr. Massey stated the staff analysis was based on the concept that additional vehicles would come into the area for available commercial services. He stated a traffic analysis had not been performed. Chairman Harris questioned whether staff would reconcile the number of trips on SR 40 when the commercial building on the SE corner was removed. Mr. Massey stated that staff would readjust the allocation of trips generated. He stated that all information presented by Mr. Gray at today s public hearing was not available to staff. Chairman Harris noted the DOT right of way map showed a water retention area located near the entrance of Sherman Oaks subdivision, which would address drainage concerns. Mr. Gray noted that about 1/3 of the proposed property would be used for a water retention area. In response to inquiry by Commissioner Kesselring, Mr. Massey stated the proposed date to begin the DOT project was 2005-06. Mr. Gray stated that DOT was now negotiating acquisition of right of way. In response to inquiry by Commissioner Henning, Mr. Gray stated the use would not be a convenience store. He suggested that other B-2 commercial uses would be analyzed. Mr. Gray stated the overall site characteristics would be evaluated as to what use would be appropriate. Commissioner Henning stated concern that some B-2 uses would be incompatible near a residential area. Mr. Gray stated the deed restrictions prohibited the sale of alcoholic beverages. He stated that Sherman Oaks subdivision had no direct entrance onto NW 80 th Avenue. Mr. Gray stated it would be beneficial to allow commercial nodal development. He stated that no central water or sewer system would be required. Chairman Harris stated that connectivity for ingress/egress should be along NW 80 th Avenue. Mr. Ganoe stated the owner would be required to provide parallel access if the land use change was approved. In response to inquiry by Commissioner Kesselring as to where commercial activity would be located, Mr. Massey stated staff would now agree this would be an appropriate location to allow a commercial activity center and a map would need to be developed for the access points at the intersection for a commercial activity center. He stated staff had not anticipated new cars would come into the area. Mr. Massey stated this was a commercial node area, but staff s analysis was based on the proposed use not being consistent with all the policies of the Comprehensive Plan reviewed by staff. He stated that the owner would have to meet access requirements of the Land Development Code. Commissioner Kesselring inquired whether the natural tree buffer of 75 feet on the north
Page 7 of 11 portion of the tract could be excluded from the land use change. Mr. Gray stated the owner agreed to delete the north 75 feet, the tree buffer, from the request for a commercial land use change. Commissioner Kesselring stated that would ensure a buffer would always be retained and the land would remain rural. Commissioner Townley questioned how parallel access to NW 80 th Avenue could be provided if the 75 foot buffer was retained. Mr. Gray stated that parallel access could be provided. Commissioner Henning stated concern with the proposed water retention site and supported the proposal to retain the trees for the buffer. He stated that parallel access could be placed in the back portion of the tract. A motion was made by Commissioner Townley, seconded by Commissioner Henning, to approve the land use change from Urban Reserve to Commercial based on statements made as to retaining the North 75 feet as a tree line buffer, submission of a drainage retention area and providing parallel access, based on findings of compatibility and consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Massey stated the owner would have to follow all buffer requirements of the Land Development Code. The motion was approved by the Board. There was a recess at 10:50 a.m. The meeting reconvened at 11:02 a.m. with all members present. Comprehensive Plan - Senior Planner Dunne presented Application 01-S28 by Theresa L. Malke, Trustee, Owner, and Steven H. Gray, Applicant, for a land use change from Medium Density Residential to Commercial on a 5.0 acre parcel. He stated both the Planning staff and Planning Commission recommended denial of the change. Attorney Steve Gray appeared for the owner. He stated the parcel was adjacent to a large scale land use application pending before DCA to amend it to commercial uses and the owner wanted to make the contiguous parcel consistent. There was no public comment. Commissioner Kesselring stated since the adjacent parcel was still in the negotiation process with DCA, he was not willing to change the land use to expand that commercial use on the subject parcel. A motion was made by Commissioner Kesselring, seconded by Commissioner Henning, to deny the land use change from Medium Density Residential to Commercial based on findings it was not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and was not compatible with the surrounding land uses. Commissioner Cretul stated the contiguous property was still under negotiations with DCA but would probably be approved. Chairman Harris agreed. The motion was approved by the Board. Comprehensive Plan - Senior Planner Dunne presented Application 01-S29 by D. A. Lewis, Jr. and Sybil K. Lewis and Betty G. Faulkner, Owners, and Landis V. Curry, Jr., Applicant, for a land use change from Rural Land to Commercial on a 2.17 acre parcel. He stated the Planning staff recommended denial and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the change.
Page 8 of 11 In response to inquiry by Commissioner Kesselring, Mr. Dunne stated there were other vacant lands that could be used for commercial development. He stated the staff review was based on the finding that it would be premature to approve the commercial designation at this time. Attorney Landis Curry presented a copy of the plats of Anthony Acres and Kay s Anthony Plaza, and a photograph booklet showing the other uses in the area. He stated the tract was acquired in 1984. Mr. Curry reviewed the documents presented to the Board and stated that during the Comprehensive Plan process, the subject parcel was not vested to allow commercial uses. He stated the Planning Commission did not oppose granting the land use change. Mr. Curry stated he disagreed with the staff recommendation of denial because the site was not in a rural area, noting there was significant commercial development nearby. He stated that approval of the land use change would allow development and increase the tax value. D. A. Lewis, Jr., SE 41 st Place, stated the area needed to be improved through new development. He stated he had contacted all the adjacent property owners and they were not opposed to the land use change. Mr. Lewis requested approval of the change. There was no public comment. A motion was made by Commissioner Henning, seconded by Commissioner Cretul, to approve the land use change from Rural Land to Commercial based on findings of consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and compatibility. Chairman Harris stated the site was located in a commercial area. The motion was approved by the Board. Comprehensive Plan - Senior Planner Dunne presented Application 01-S30 by Robert D. Ezell, Owner and Jack S. Foster, Applicant, for a land use change from Rural Land to Commercial on a 3.5 acre parcel. He stated both the Planning staff and Planning Commission recommended denial of the change. The owner and applicant were not present. There was no public comment. A motion was made by Commissioner Kesselring, seconded by Commissioner Cretul, to deny the land use change from Rural Land to Commercial based on findings that it was not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and was not compatible with the surrounding land uses. The motion was approved by the Board. Comprehensive Plan - Senior Planner Dunne presented Application 01-S31 by J. R. Lang, Owner and John P. McKeever, Applicant, for a land use change from Rural Land to Commercial on a 9.82 acre parcel. He stated the Planning staff recommended denial and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the change. In response to inquiry by Commissioner Kesselring, Mr. Dunne stated the level of service for US 41, near Rainbow Lakes Boulevard would drop from "D" to "E" if the proposed change was approved based on staff analysis that the proposed change would create an increase in the number of vehicles from 7,900 to 8,300 daily. Commissioner Kesselring suggested the site plan address the issue of level of service standards.
Page 9 of 11 Attorney John McKeever appeared for the owner and presented an additional petition received after the Planning Commission meeting, that contained nine names of property owners within 300 feet that did not oppose the land use change. He also presented a letter from former Dunnellon Mayor, Larry Winkler urging approval of the change to Commercial. Mr. McKeever stated the lands were zoned for B-2 uses, however, the owner wanted to develop the site for commercial purposes. He described the location on US 41 and noted other commercial uses nearby. Mr. McKeever stated there were many other vacant lots in Rainbow Lakes Estates that could be used for residential purposes. He stated that traffic concerns regarding US 41 would be relieved by approval of the land use change. He stated the property owner would have to comply with concurrency issues. Mr. McKeever stated the former model homes could be used for other purposes, but the owner wanted to properly develop the parcel for commercial uses, across the street from another shopping area. He stated the Planning Commission recommendation for approval should be confirmed. Mr. McKeever stated the commercial use would provide relief on US 41 by providing services to the Rainbow Lakes Estates residents. In response to inquiry by Commissioner Henning, Mr. Massey stated that during the review process, staff used existing traffic counts available for the area, noting the vacant lots were not considered. He stated that staff projected an annual 3% traffic increase. Upon call for public comment, Michelle Torma, SW 195 th Avenue, stated she faxed a letter to the Commissioners that addressed specific concerns she and several other residents of Rainbow Lakes Estates had in regard to the proposed land use change. Chairman Harris advised that adequate buffering would be required to comply with the Land Development Code to protect the residential area. Mr. McKeever agreed the Code set out the buffer requirements for developments. Commissioner Kesselring stated concern with access to the back portion of the subject tract and whether commercial uses should be allowed to continue to extend in a westerly direction. He inquired whether the proposed commercial project could be scaled back. Mr. McKeever stated there was no current specific use, other than for commercial purposes. He stated the owner had considered developing a professional golf course. Mr. McKeever noted that a development plan would establish setbacks and buffer for the residential area. He advised that the trees on the north side of the tract would remain, which would separate the residential lots. A motion was made by Commissioner Kesselring to approve a land use change from Rural Land to Commercial on the east one-half of the parcel in order to line up the tract with the existing commercial use designation on the north and south properties. The motion died for lack of a second. A motion was made by Commissioner Cretul, seconded by Commissioner Henning, to grant the land use change from Rural Land to Commercial based on Planning Commission findings of consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and compatibility. The motion was
Page 10 of 11 approved by the Board. Commissioner Cretul noted that twenty-four letters of support were received. Comprehensive Plan - Senior Planner Dunne presented Application 01-S32 by Kenneth and Patricia Patterson, Frederick and Sandra Johnson, Owners and Applicants, for a land use change from Urban Reserve to Limited Commercial on a 9.95 acre parcel. He stated the Planning staff recommended denial and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the change. Ken Patterson, SE 12 th Street, stated there were no immediate plans to develop the property on US 27, noting the adjacent properties were zoned B-4 or B-2. He requested approval of the application to designate the subject property for commercial use due to the rapid growth in that area of the County. Mr. Patterson requested the Planning Commission recommendation be accepted. There was no public comment. Upon motion of Commissioner Kesselring, seconded by Commissioner Townley, the Board approved the land use change from Urban Reserve to Limited Commercial based on Planning Commission findings of consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and compatibility.

Waterways - Chairman Harris reported on the recent discussions with Alachua County Commissioners to correct the sinkhole problem at Orange Lake. He stated that Alachua County supported road improvements on Highway 441 rather than addressing the sinkhole. Chairman Harris stated the Florida Game and Fish Commission may be willing to become involved in helping to correct the sinkhole problem. He stated the Game Commission could apply for the permits and the County could construct a berm around the sinkhole, if the Board agreed. Chairman Harris stated that if the Board was willing to participate with funding a portion of the project, along with the Game Commission, he would need to travel to Tallahassee to contact those officials regarding a memorandum of understanding allowing the Game Commission to be the agent for the project. It was the general consensus of the Board that the Chairman contact the Game Commission. At the suggestion of Chairman Harris, it was the general consensus of the Board that Commissioner Henning would work with the Chairman to advise the fish-camp owners and other residents regarding the progress to resolve the sinkhole problem. There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting thereupon adjourned at 12:03 p.m. Randy Harris, Chairman Attest: David R. Ellspermann, Clerk ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ON JANUARY 8, 2002
