6. PUBLIC INPUT.
A. Public Participation.
Wendy Baker, 941 Alameda Drive, said she was here to request
immediate relief from the sign ordinance against temporary open house
signs. She said they purchased th~.ir home in Longwood almost thirteen
years ago. She said she was well aware of the reasons we need ordinances
to keep signs out of intersections from distracting drivers. She said it took
them three and a half years to find just the right property in Longwood that
would keep their children in the schools they desired. Now they are trying
to market their current property. ~~he affirmed they are finding that Codes
Enforcement is doing everything they can to hinder their marketing
efforts. Codes Enforcement: is pulling their temporary open house
directional signs that are only going to be out for three hours.. She said
one officer told them they needed. a permit and could place the sign on a
homeowner's property. Another officer told them they needed a permit,
but also needed a letter from the Homeowner fo place the sign on their
property. She said Codes Enforcement was pulling every sign, regardless
of location• or the homeowner"s authorization. She said they obtained the
homeowner's authorization letter and their realtor came to the City to pull
the permit only to be told there was no permit available. She said they
received permission from their neighbors to place directional signs on
their property and attached their permission to these signs. These signs
~ were also pulled. She declared sh~~ was at a loss as to what to do to market
her property. She stated the City does not seem ~to .have a problem with
garage sale signs that. do not benefit the community as a whole. She said
temporary directional realty signs have a potential to positively contribute
to the community by increasing the tax base. when property taxes are
reassessed without growth. Other benefits include doc stamps, intangible
taxes, recording fees, as well as al.l of the business taxes paid when a
house is sold. She said, given the current housing market, she would hope
the Commission would be doing everything in their power to assist
homeowners. She stated herpropc;rty backs up to Rangeline Road so she
can place a sign over her fe~~zce to obtain some visibility. Other
homeowners with homes for sale ,are not so lucky. She said one realtor
who had his sign pulled shortly after opening simply closed and went
home. She declared properties are: dropping their prices so everyone is
losing. She said she hoped.Longwood does not want to be known as a
bargain basement community with falling housing prices due in part to the
City's lack of support.. She said si~~e would think that Codes Enforcement
and Police Officers have more pressing things to attend to rather than
running around pulling directionaa signs that are to betaken down in two
to three hours anyway. She. said we keep hearing about budget cuts,
understaffing, and shrinking. tax bases. She stated they tabled the
temporary sign ordinance matter at the last meeting until the third week of
~, November and this is not. acceptable. She declared she needs to market her
property now.
CC 08-20-07/237
Cathy Cold, 1341 South Grant Street, said she spoke two weeks ago at the
Commission meeting and tried to make some points. She said the prior ~!
speaker was her seller she is trying to help. She told her the Commission
viewed her as a self serving realtor to please come and speak for herself.
She declared Ms. Baker did an ultimate job of doing that. She stated Ms.
Baker was about to the point of calling The Problem Solvers. She stated if
they cannot get some relief they were out of ideas. She said the article she
referenced at the last meeting noted there were $1.1 billion in budget cuts
facing the law makers and the current housing slump may take longer to
recover from than 9/11. She said housing sales are not expected to pick up
unti12009. She stated the City stole $53 worth of signs this weekend. She
said they need support now and asked the City to "call off the dogs". She
stated open house signs are not particularly addressed in the code or in the
ordinance. She asked for some relief until they have a chance to serve on
the committee to help steer the realtors towards an acceptable ordinance.
Until that time she requested a suspension with the conf seation of their
signs.
Frankie Elliot, 1330 Lee Road, said she currently serves as Vice President
to the Orlando Regional Realtor Association and their jurisdiction includes
Orange and Seminole Counties. She stated she spoke to the City
Administrator approximately two months ago and at that time he was very
open and suggested they come back with some modifications. She stated
they were in the process of getting this back to him. She said two years
ago no one had to hold an open house. They are at a 1'80 degree different
market now. She said they now have over 25,000 listings between Orange
and Seminole Counties. She said they go back to the basics which are
marketing and open houses. She said in other municipalities they have
been successful in asking for signs to be put out after 5:00 p.m. on Friday
and to be picked up by 9:00 a.m. Monday morning. She said there is a
required sticker by the broker on the back of the sign and if the sign is not
picked up by Monday morning, it is taken and the broker is fined. She
stated the City of Ocoee has been very successful with this ordinance. She
said they had members all over Orange and Seminole County losing signs.
She said the City of Longwood does allow for offsite directional signs, but
for some reason open house signs are not being allowed to be used under
that section of the code which was under Article VT. She, affirmed they
would like some type of relief in the interim until the Ad Hoe Committee
can meet and come up with something acceptable. She stated in many
jurisdictions the brokers were paying a permit fee of $25 -$50. In the
interim she thanked the City for including this as part of the sign code
review. She said if directional signs tuzder Article. VI could someway be
applied to open house signs this would make Longwood the first
jurisdiction in Central Florida being proactive and. providing some relief.
7. CITY ADMIl~TISTRATOR'S REPORT. ~ ,~
CC 08-20-07/238
Mr. Drago reported that Friday the Comrni,ttee from the Florida Bar Association
would meet to review the City Attorney proposals.
8. 1VIAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS' F;EPORT.
District #~, Commissioner Sackett applauded all who worked at National Night
Out and he commended staff for a wondf>rful event. He said he understood there
were church groups coordinating activities .such as the bounce house and he heard
many positive comments regardint; the teenagers running these activities. He
reported. a neighbor came to him rF;ga.rding Mudd Lake being overgrown. He
stated it had been approximately,five months since there has been anyone there to
treat the lake and asked for an update. •
Mr. Kintner said last week the aquatic maintenance crew went to Mudd Lake and
they initially had a problem getting their boat into the area. He stated Public•
Works went out to clear for access,. He said to his understanding they were able to
get back there and he would follow up ors the matter.
Commssioner Sackett attended the Joint Ci y/County Advisory Committee last
week. He clearly stated the .information given in the survey report was flawed and
outdated. He said it was made very clear that Longwood is not in favor of
consolidation, but would appreciate an update of the CAD system which is flawed
and outdated. He reported that out of 300 past calls by our Fire Department, 150
~ of those calls were to unincorporated areas. He said it was proper to offer service
to those in need, but it was also proper to re-institute another interlocal agreement
that pays the City for that service. lie stated this Committee would start looking at
interlocal agreements again. He said they would be looking into consolidation
when it comes to purchases for better pricing on equipment and repair.
Commmissioner Sackett recently attended :Florida League of Cities. Conference in
Orlando and he was quite stunned i.n what was happening with tax relief. He said
they need to create awareness to the citizens for what was going to happen
January 29th with the amendment that is going to be in place. He said from the
workshops he attended, there was a good need for our City to get the message out
accurately and. let people- decide in an educated way as to what this is all about.
He said, for instance, how much money does Longwood spend percent wise in the
budget on administration. He said the typical average in the State of Florida on
administration is 60% of the budget. They also need to talk about percentages
spent on fire, police, utilities, public worl~s, parks, and whatever is left so people
have an understanding of property tax cuts. He stated if people see that possibly
10.% is administrative and 70% is police and fire, they will know budget cuts will
create an impact on services..He reiterated they needed to educate the populous so
they know what they are voting on..
i District #1. Mayor Maingot said national Night Out was a tremendous success
due to those who put their heart and sole into the event. He reported on August
~, 10th he and Mr. Drago went to the Central Florida Regional Growth Vision on
How Shall We Grow. This was developed in consultation with seven counties and
• 86 cities. He said this shared visior.~ was through to year 2050. In addition to the
CC 08-20-0;,/239
elected off vials participating, there were over 20,000 residents throughout
Central. Florida who also participated. He advised Longwood held two sessions `.J
that were well attended in the Community Building. He reviewed two maps that
showed what we would look like in 2050 if the current trends continue and also
.how we would appear if the vision is followed. He said he would give a detailed
report at the next meeting on the Florida League of Cities Conference. He
reported he was privileged to do the ribbon cutting this morning for the American
Village Academy on Longwood Hills Road.
District #2. Commissioner Anderson said he had an idea and would like to see
how the City Commission would feel about having a page on the City's website
for residents to submit their suggestions for Business Person of the Month. He
reported Northland Community Church had their first services in their new
building this past weekend. He declared it is a phenomenal building and
suggested people go visit.
District #3. Deputy Mayor Holt said he would like to come up with some type of
recognition for the businessmen who have rejuvenated and improved their
properties. He stated there were expensive projects .going on throughout the
corridor, but he was talking about those businesses doing facelifts to their existing
buildings.
District #4. No report.

10. PUBLIC HEARINGS.
A. The- Community Development :Division of the Community Services
Department recommends the City Commission approve or deny the
requested variance (VAR 10-0'/) to the Longwood Development Code
for the property located within the Historic District at 211 Warren
Avenue.
Ms. Adzima said this property was a contributing structure in the Historic
District known as the Clouser House or the birthing center. Approximately
a year ago the building was. severely damaged by fire and the property
owners have resolved their insurance claim and were preparing to restore
the stnichire. The applicants are requesting a variance for the property
prior to completing an engineered site plan. She stated they have proposed
an addition to the existing t>uildir,.g that would not allow for all of the
required parking being in conforr~~ance with the Longwood Code
requirements. The existing building would be used as offices and the
addition would contain a single re;sidential unit. In keeping withtheir
proposed site design, the applicar.~ts would need a variance to LDC 3.6.1 C
5 and 3.6.1 C 7 which requires individual parking that does not back into a
~ public roadway for commercial o:r office use. The proposed parking
configuration provides parking within a driveway which would back into a
public roadway and block other vehicles into designated stalls rather than
using only designated parking stalls that access a driveway or aisle. LDC
3.6..1 C 5 states; "Painted limes, curbs, or other means to indicate
individual spaces shall delineate all parking." 3.6.1 C 7 states; "Each
parking stall shall be accessible from an aisle or driveway and designed so
that no automobile shall back into a public street or public right-of way,
exceptfor officially designated alleys, in order to exit a parking stall. Each
parking lot and stall shall bc; designed to avoid conflict between pedestrian
and vehicular movements and shall be designed to avoid conflict with
ingress or egress from the sate." She stated the Historic District has
several existing businesses with parking, that backs out into the public
roadway and gave several examples.
Mr. Sizemore said prior to the applicant presenting any additional
information, he would like 1:o point out the area affected by the variance
request. was with the driveway that would have a total of five parking
spaces that would be impacted by these sections of the development code..
He reviewed these areas on a r•end.ering. He stated there were two main
routes the applicant could use in attempting to accomplish this site design
through the variance process. The applicant has elected to request a
' variance to the section of the development code that would require
~ separate parking stalls that would back out into a drive aisle before
accessing a public roadway so that he could provide all required parking
on site. He said the only problem with that is that it would conflict with
CC 08-20-Oi'/241
those sections of the development code that would prohibit stacking of
spaces. He said the: other route he could have taken; because of the ~
proximity to the public parking lot would have been to request a reduction
in the number of onsite parking spaces. He could have made that same
request and not shown those five spaces on his site plan and left the
configuration the same. He said either variance request could have been
made to accomplish the same goal. The request he has brought before the
Commission is to get variances to the stacking and backing out
requirements.
Mayor Mairigot opened the public hearing. No one spoke in opposition to
the variance.
The following spoke in favor to the variance.
Brian Rov, owner of 211 West Warren Avenue, said staff has done a
wonderful job explaining what has taken place with this building. He said
over the last several years they have been renovating the interior of the
building and an unfortunate fire set them back. He said they have elected
to look at how they could repair this building and add to it at the same
time. He said there was significant damage .and the entire roof will be
required to come off as well as a third of the back of the building. He
stated this gave them the opportunity to look at how they could tie this
together and meet the historic provisions,. as well as bring it into
compliance with the latest building codes. He advised his architect was
present and he has been used as a consultant by the City. He affirmed they
have worked with staff to see how to meet all code requirements and this
was what they were presenting to the Commission. tonight. He has
additional information if the Commission would like to see any profiles.
He reviewed renderings of the proposed building and said they were
adding an access ramp to make it A.D.A. accessible. He said he has talked
to all of the neighbors regarding the floor plan.
Commissioner Anderson inquired as to the proposed use of property.
Mr. Roy advised the front part of the building would be maintained as an
office and the back would be a single. family residence.
Commissioner Anderson asked if the parking would be primarily used by
them or clients.
Mr. Rov said his staff would be using the parking. They do not have many
clients that come to them.
Commissioner Bundy inquired about the chimney.
Mr~Rov said at this point they were not proposing placing a false chimney
back on unless it was required.
.~
CC 08-20-07/242
Commissioner Bundy pointed ou.t the original portion of the building and
said as long as it blends in with tl~e architectural style and semblance of
this building doesn't concern him much. He said it was a contributing
structure and they could not do major changes on it to change the exterior
of the structure. He said they had previously agreed to rebuild the
chimney. His concern was it wilt( overshadow the original building. He
said they were not just talking about an addition. This would double the
size of the building. He said this was massive in scope of what they were
doing to a historic building..
Mr. Rov said if it was a matter of incorporating chimneys they can work
with the desire of the Corrtinission to come up with something acceptable.
He stated the overall design was so that it ties in and meets all of the
national historic register requirements for additions onto contributing
structures. He stated it was a seamless connection and will be shown so it
looks appropriate.
Commissioner Bundy said this house was built by the person who was the
most influential in building Longwood. He expressed doubts and said he
realizes this is not the engineered site plan.. He said before he would vote.
to approve any kind of variance h:e would want to see more detailed
~ renderings. He said he considers ihe. importance of this house.
Deputy Mayor Holt inquired who they used as their historic consultants.
Mr. Rov said they consulted with ACi.
Deputy Mayor Holt said lus daughter was born there and it was probably
more personal to him. He said it was hard when the building caught fare.
He agreed he would like to see more information..
Commissioner Anderson inquired if it was possible to do angled parking
on the east side of the lot. Fle pointed out that .all they are looking at
tonight was a variance for parking; and the other items come later.
Mr. Sizemore said it would create; a problem in backing out if parking was
angled. He stated perpendicular parking would be better there. He
discussed the parking requirements and said alternative solutions would be
to require a reduction in the. number of spaces or explore on street parking.
Discussion ensued.
~ Mayor Maingot said the co~icerns of Commissioner Bundy were in regards
to the chimney and Mr. Rov may want to take that into play in future
~ preseritations. He stated the request this evening was in regards to paa-king.
Mr. Sizemore responded in the affirmative.
CC 08-20-67/24'3
Commissioner Bundy said it was touched on briefly and he inquired if ~
they could place some parking spaces on the street side. He said he was
not so concerned with the number of parking spaces. He said people
would park in the driveway regardless. He stated they are looking at a
variance for parking, but it is his understanding it meets all the other
standards.
Mr. Sizemore, pointed out they do not have a full site development plan.
Commissioner Btuidy said it tentatively met the requirements and this was
the only time it will come before the Commission unless a request is made
for a full Commission review. He reiterated he-would like to see more
detail.
Commissioner Anderson suggested the possibility of using the municipal
parking lot for some of the parking. If using that notion, they would need
to consider this for all other businesses. He suggested in instances where
developments need additional parking .spaces, there could be contributions
for a public parking fiord. He said it seems to be a good opportunity to
preserve this structure and make it viable.
,Discussion was held regarding the generated parking module. ~
~I
Commissioner Bundy pointed out there was a sidewalk connecting the
City Hall parking lot and this would make it easy for employees to park
there. He said he would not want public parking finless they were renting
permanent parking spaces. He agreed this was a good opportunity to save
this building, but there was not .enough information for him to support.
Mr. Drago said Mr. Roy had made a comment that. they didn't need as
many parking spaces as required by the code. He inquired how many
spaces would they need.
Mr. Roy said it depends on the day. He said for a normal day they would
need eight spaces.
Mr. Drago said they are. showing five spaces on one side and two spaces in
the garage so they would need one additional. space to meet the required
number of spaces needed by the applicant.
Commissioner Bundy said he would not have a problem with that as long
as it is noted in the variance that it expires when the business expires. He
said the uses may change and it would not work out for firture changes or
needs for the property.
CC 08-20-07/2~4~4
Mr. Roy inquired if they could move the handicap parking to another area.
~-- He said he wants to use the same type of bricks. and pavers so to tie in with
the City's pavers. He said :he-was open to suggestions.
Commissioner Anderson asked if it were possible to table the request and
re-consider it with more ini:orrriation.
Mr. Drago said it would be up to the applicant as far as his time table.
Commissioner Anderson asked if they could explore other options for
required parking in the district and if there would be any possibility for
success in a reasonable time frame.
Mr. Drago said they could use more sites for parking if the City were to
purchase property. He said the Commission allowed spill over parking for
Mona Lisa in the City paxki~ng lot. He said parking would always be an
issue in this district.
Discussion ensued regarding vari~~us parking solutions.
Mr. Drago suggested Mr. R:oy come back with the exact number of spaces
needed and how many spaces the;q may need for occasional spill over
~ parking.
Commissioner Anderson said if this were to be tabled to a time certain,
then he could avoid paying the variance fee again. He suggested they
allow Mr. Roy the opportunity to take this feedback to make something
work.
Mr~Roy said he could present a final number of parking spaces at the next
City Commission meeting.
Mr. Drago suggested he show the chimney and present color renderings.
Commissioner Bundy mowed to close the public hearing. Seconded
by Commissioner Sackett and carried by a unanimous voice vote.
Commissioner Bundy mop-red to table to the September Stn
Commission meeting to give the applicant time to make
modifications. Seconded by Commissioner Sackett and carried by
a unanimous roll call vote.,

on the agenda. She then read Ordinance No. 07-1836 by title only.
Mayor Maingot asked staff to present the item.
Commissioner Bundy called for a point of order. He said they did not do
staff presentations until after the public hearing.
Ms. Roper said at the Commission's decision, they could change the order
in which'matters are presented. She said it would also be adequate if the
Commission wishes to present in the same manner they have previously
presented.
Mayor Maingot asked staff to proceed.
Mr. Kitner said this ordinance was generated from a review process that
began with the release of the flood insurance rate maps. These maps will
be officially released on September 28, 2007. As part of that release,
FEMA has been reviewing local government flood plain management
ordinances. He said a preliminary review of Longwood's existing
ordinance prompted a few concerns by FEMA. There were two primary
areas they felt was missing; the definitions section, and a section
specifically delineating the duties of the flood plain administrator. He
stated in this review process, representatives from FEMA provided the
City with a model ordinance used by Florida communities. The ordinance
before the Commission is a combination of the. FEMA model ordinance
and items from the existing Longwood ordinance. He advised Ordinance
07-1836 has been reviewed by Ms. Austin from FEMA and has met with
her approval in terms of compliance.
Mayor Maingot opened the public hearing. No one spoke in favor or
opposition to the ordinance.
