Fred Gale said the property in question was located at 159 Sheridan.
Avenue.~He owns a .couple of rental properties in Longwood, but does not
own this particular property. He has been working with the bank and the
homeowner .and the property is in foreclosure. He stated it has Code
violations dating back to 2008 that he calculates to be over $2D0,000
which is pretty significant. He said the property does need a lot of repairs
and one repair estimate is at $160,000. He stated every room is ili need of
repair, the roof needs to be replaced, and the house needs extensive repairs
and has extensive mold damage. He advised the property in its present
market value was probably only worth $40,000 to $50,000. He said he has
CC 12-07-09/638
never dealt with Code violations and was here to ask for advice or
direction on how to handle the +~ode violations.
Lan McCoy, 137 East Maine Avenue, said he was here to speak on a
couple of issues. He inquired when did the City logo change, how murk
did it cost and when did the Conunission vote on this. He stated he has
noticed iuce ne~~v Cluistilas decorations throughout the City, some of
which look like they niay be upside down, or the ones by Walgreens that
are not plugged in. He asked what happened to the old ones and. said he
did not remember the. Coniinission voting to approve the. expenditure. He
inquired how much did it cost and who authorized this. He said he asked
these questions because at the List meeting he stood before the
Coininission asking why a prograril was discontinued to help Longwood
Families,. a program that was ci:~t for budget reasons. He asked low could
they j ustify spending a1L of this money on clew decorations and logo
changes, while .in turn c~incellin.g programs for City residents. He stated
during the Budget meetings much was said about frscal responsibility. He
inquired if this was being responsible. He declared the money spent to
make these purchases could have, and should have been used to save City
programs such as the one 11e sp~~lce of Ike said the residents deserve an
apology for discontinui_tig City :programs to allow for the purchase of
items we already have aiicl for changing a logo that did not need to be
changed.
Judy Coati, 1695 Ciraiige Circle, said she came Here to question the
Commission of where on the b~~.llot was the mandate that Ms. Putz,
Commissioners Sackett,. Comes„ and current Mayor Maingot spoke of that
Comrnissi:oner Bundy should be removed from the position of Mayor. She
stated she never saw this on the ballot, but these Conunissioners along
with Ms. Putz seem to tl?iillc that this ti~as what the City residents were
deciding oiz the ballot. S;he said she must be blind because she missed it
and it seems that the majority a:1so did. She stated if that was the case, then
they should have stated. it durirl~ the election, because they do not care
about the protocol that has beei:~ held in the past. She said the Holidays
were corning anti these three Coniinissioners will be power grabbing at the
residents expense. She declared. they all broke protocol concerning the
position of Mayor. She stated the Coinrnission rrieeting of November 16;
• 2009 was tui-iled into a monkey trial by Mayor Maingot, Coiximissioners
Sackett anti Cortex due to that their feelings were hurt that Commissioner
Bundy did not back down and 1„t the City :residents know his position by a
letter he sent stating lzis name a~ Mayor Bundy. Sl1e said. those tluee
became prosecutor, jury; anti judge aild were not concerned at all about the
letter Conunissioner IViain.got s~>nt with accusations that were half truths
about Commissioner Bundy. She said this has just been the way he has
always done business and did this through dealings with Barrington. She
stated Coiiw7issioner Cortes co:~7st<<ntly asked questions and didn't even
listen to the City Attorney's rex~ly. In addition, they were told that an
Ethical Violation filed by Ms. F'utz had no probable cause. She stated they
CC 12-~07~~09/639
were more worried about themselves and their positions and trying to
antagonize someone. She said they did a big disservice t~ this City and
residents. She declared they should treat each other with respect. She
stated the tluee of them sent the City backwards to what it used to be
called by The Sentinel, "Vi~rongwood". She said this was just not about
differences of opinion it was about power and selfishness. She stated the
only remorse here should have been their behavior.

Mr. Kintner said this was for a future land use change for the Libel

Mr. Steve Moreira has requested this land change to move forward with
the project as a mixed-use. project that includes senior housing with an
Alzheimer's Care Facility and the potential for a commercial office
component. He said to do this, Mr. 1VIoreira was looking to move to the
Village Mixed-Use (VMU) designation which has an increased density
and increased floor area ratio and has indicated thus increased density
allows the project to be financially feasible. He advised the two aspects of
this reviewed in the staff report was the need and justification for the
change as well as the relationship of the proposed amendment to the City
of Longwood Comprehensive Plan. He stated this land-use change is
CC 12-07-09/64-0

that this application is consistent with the City Code.

CC 11-07-09/641
Deputy Mayor Durso inquired if this allowed for the creation of new fees
and/or permits, or did it just provide for the adjustment of fees that are
already associated with established permits.
Ms. Bower said this was allowing fees to be established for the Planning
and Building Divisions through this Ordinance. She .said. if they were to
create other conditional uses; they could establish the fees by resohition.
Ms. Powell said within the fee schedule itself, they could create new fees
within that schedule and have them approved by resolution.
Ms. Bower. said they would need to have sometliirzg in the Code that the
established fee would refer to.
Commissioner Bundy said the Ordinance would have to establish the fee,
but the amount of the fee would be established by resolution.
Mr. Dayes advised Florida Statute 166.201 gives the authorization to
create the fee if it is provided for by ordinance.

Mayor Maingot advised this Item was quasi judicial and reviewed the
process to be followed.
Mr. Dayes swore-in the witnesses.
Mr. Kintner said this was a variance request for the property at 211 West
Warren Avenue and it is an excellent project that has been a great benefit
to the Downtown Historic District. The variance request from Mr. Brian
CC 12-07-09/642
Roy is from two sections of the Longwood Historic District Code Book.
He reviewed these sections, one being Parking CTuidelines, page 1.10 and
the other Landscape and Fences, page 3.27. He stated as part of the
variance review process by staCi°, they have to evaluate the variance as it
relates to five findings as set forth in the Longwood Development Code.
He said in their review of Mr. R.oy's application, they did not Mind
sufficient evidence to meet those five findings and therefore, could not
recommend approval of the variance from staff level. In :largely, the one of
most concern was the fifth finding which is "The effect of the proposed
variance is in harmony with the general intent of the Development Code
and the specific intent of the relevant subject area(s) of the Development.
Code." He stated in this ituation with the way the Historic District Code
Boole is worded, staff was unable to recommend approval on this item.
Ms. Bower said picket fences are suggested throughout the Historic
District. However, this is the only place in the Historic District Code
where they are actually required. She stated if it was the vision and intent
to have picket fences up a~1d do ~vn the Historic District streets, this Code
will not get yotc there. Unfortunately, based on the way the code is stated
they had to reconunend denial.
Brian Roy, 211 West Warren Avenue, said he is the eo-owner with his
wife. fIe stated he really wasn't prepared to talk about this as ho felt. it was
a rather simple request. He has spent a tremendous effort to restore and
repair the bui Lding following a fire. He said he chose not to put the fence
back in fiont of the building because he and the architect felt it was an
aesthetic deterrent so they put iii a vegetative buffer which is also stated in
the Code l3oolc. He stated they ie1t with the buffer and landscaping they
put in, they felt this provided the aesthetic barrier which was the intent of
the rule. He said putting in a fence detracted from the building and does
not provide any value and will not keep people from walking into the area.
He is requesting riot to have to put up the fence.
Elaine McElmurray, 751 Sandpiper Circle, said she requested to speak for
Mr. Roy regarding this Home. She stated he has completed the historic
house at 21.1 West tiVarren Ave~.iue and it is a crown jewel. She said the
City fathers must realize the vaJ.ue that this piece of teal estate has for the
City of Longwood. She declared nothing compares to this historic
restoration and thanked Mr. Roy for not giving up the completion of this
long drawn out project. Slie staked they can all be proud of his interest in
Historic Longwood. She said t1;.e picket fence should not be needed and
there was a very expensive landscape buffer provided that was perfect for
the property. She asked that they let this wonderful historic house rest in
peace and keep the landscape as i.t is with no fence.

Ms. Meli said part of the Ordiu~~.nce changes were because of the creation
of the Leisure Services Depai-tn-~.ent. She stated since the Leisure Services
Department has responsibility of the Conuntuuty Pudding, they wanted to
treat it life the rest of the facilities they rent and place it all under the same
chapter in the Code Poolc. She said anytime they do a fee change it will be
done by Resolution rather than by Ordinance.
. Commissioner Sackett said t1.1er~, seems to be a lot of strike outs and
inquired where those items were.
Ms. Meli advised they eli.minate.d Article I~1 as it was strictly talking about
the Conununi~ty Luilding. She s~iid under Article III was the way they deal
with all of their rental facilities .end it was not necessary to have a separate
Article dealing with one of many facilities they rent. She said the fees will
Be'orouglzt before the Commission at the next meeting.
Deputy Mayor Durso said he understood the fee setup. He inquired if the
intent of this was to take rules for renting the Community Pudding out o:f
the Code and put thorn itlto the contracts that can easily be changed.
Ms. Nleli responded in tt~e affirmative.
