Staff with the Florida Department of Health in Seminole County gave a presentation on electronic nicotine delivery systems, tobacco retail licensing, and points of sales and effects these are having on the health of our youth and citizens of Seminole County. B. Public Participation. Mr. John Nitch, 995 South Grant Street, Longwood. He said he is here to speak about the design of The Shoppes at Longwood the City of Longwood is proposing. He said he supports the city's plans to develop the Whitehead property into a modern business entity. What he strongly opposes is the apparent traffic access the city plans to create for the developer to Maine Avenue, Evergreen Avenue and especially to the square mile of residential streets adjacent. There was little information being shared by the city with those that will be affected, and this results in speculation and hearsay on all of these plans. He asked if this is intentional. If true, this is commercial encroachment and redesign and rezone of Maine Avenue and Evergreen Avenue from residential to commercial to lure a developer to the Whitehead property. He said it appears to be designed quietly with very minimal legal required socialization with the residents in the neighborhood who CC 05-20-2019/2 II will live with the negative impacts permanently. This move by the City of Longwood Development Director is bold and shows how you are willing to attract commercial development for the city at the expense of the residents who live here. I understand the city's efforts to realign North Oleander to get a traffic light for the developer may not be approved by the Florida Department of Transportation, and yet the developer desperately needs westbound State Road 434 traffic flow to get fast and easy access to Ronald Reagan Boulevard, West State Road 434 and Dog Track Road to make this project a success. Without a traffic light,you think you failed the developer. Giving the developer several back doors is your solution and is unprecedented when, in my opinion, is related to the consequences. If successful, you will have accomplished another satisfied developer and justified your mission as you work to catch up to Casselberry, Lake Mary, and the unincorporated Seminole County of development accomplishments. He stated to the City of Longwood Development Director, as the public servant, exercise your fiduciary responsibility to our neighborhood by removing the entrance onto Maine Avenue from the plans and leave Evergreen intact. It is our wish that you instead channel your energy and enthusiasm into completing the implementation of a traffic calming study 20160616, a taxpayer-funded study of 2015 that is largely unstarted. He said if you never heard of this, please get with Chief Dowda and you will get all the information. Ms.Jean Cope, 402 East Maine Avenue, Longwood. She thanked city leaders for bringing better aesthetics,jobs, and commerce to Longwood. When I bought a home in the Wildmere neighborhood four years ago, I was attracted to the peacefulness of that neighborhood. It was quiet and quaint, with shade trees and residents walking,jogging and biking. The small lake behind my house is part of a sanctuary where I go to relax and meditate. Since the commencement of the SunRail, my street has been frequented by non-residents cutting through to avoid the terrible backups at Ronald Reagan Boulevard and State Road 434. They speed through trying to prove their cut through choice was worthwhile. They often do not bother to stop at stop signs or even slow down for a pedestrian walking their dog. As you can imagine, it is quite upsetting to me and my neighbors. We have communicated diligently with the Longwood Police Department and City Commission to change this to little avail. Now, with the II news of possible retail space and three hundred apartments entering and exiting onto East Maine Avenue, we are even more concerned for the safety and preservation of the residential CC 05-20-2019/3 qualities of our community. Again, I appreciate city development and ask that you consider, with respect to us as tax-paying residents on East Maine Avenue, limiting traffic on East Maine by either not allowing this new parking lot access to it, or by discouraging its use and/or excessive speed through the use of electronic access gates or the like. Furthermore, if restaurants with any kind of noise such as live outdoor music will be installed, I ask that sound mitigation be also installed, such as a high fence or wall between the parking lot and East Maine Avenue. Thank you for listening. Mr. Rick Hall, 467 East Maine Avenue, Longwood. He said I purchased my house about 19 years ago, and with the growth of Longwood, traffic on Maine Avenue has gotten worse. We used to have flooding issues and drainage in our yards that we fought about over the years. I am very concerned about the new project. I like growth, I want growth, but we do not have sidewalks on our road. Very few people can walk or have kids in their front yards, and with the new growth and development of dumping traffic on our road, we already have a hard time getting out on to State Road 434 off of Grant Street. He said with the new restaurants going in on State Road 434 and the south side of Ronald Reagan Boulevard, I guess the entrance to our road is going to be a U- turn. People are going to be U-turning or cutting through because there will only be one access to the restaurants on that side of our road. When you are planning this, keep in mind that we do live there and we spend every day there. I am not looking to move or rent my house, but I just want to have a peaceful place to live. Ms. Gladys Prieto, 457 East Maine Avenue, Longwood. She said she is neighbors with Rick, purchased her house 44 years ago, and raised her girls there. We moved here from Miami because we wanted a place that was calm. My parents lived here since 1979. It is very upsetting that Maine Avenue is going to become a traffic street instead of a residential street. I have grandchildren now that love to come to my house, and we love to have them because it is safe. Living in Miami, our house got broken into twice. That has never happened here, we have great neighbors. I just wanted to say that I am opposed to having that traffic come through Maine Avenue or any of the other streets, Evergreen Avenue or Oak Street. I do like the progress, I am all for it and new jobs for people, but I do not want that traffic. Ms. Donna Gonzalez, 327 East Evergreen Avenue, Longwood. She said she is part of the Wildmere Traffic Coalition, and we are CC 05-20-2019/4 trying desperately to get things done as far as keeping the traffic down. Although I am all in favor of having the Shoppes, why can't there be one exit? I understand if there is a traffic accident at that exit and it is blocked, how are others going to get out? You need another way. She asked, is it possible to have the other way controlled only by police. This could be an emergency way but controlled by traffic police. If the one entrance light would be wide enough to accommodate two lanes going and coming, it could be used to offset having the traffic on Maine Avenue or on Evergreen Avenue. As far as the 300 unit complex, I am not sure where it is going to go. It adds to it, and right off Evergreen Avenue and Grant Street is another huge complex with an exit and entrance off of Grant Street now. We cannot get into Evergreen Avenue on our street off of Grant Street without combatting the traffic blocking our way. I can imagine all this traffic coming from Maine Avenue adding to it. I was very disappointed over the number of years we tried to get a light at Wildmere Avenue and Ronald Reagan Boulevard or a little closer, but we need a second light, not just Grant Street and State Road 434. I am all for the retail space. Mr. Robert O'Dell, 345 Overstreet Avenue, Longwood. He said he has been a resident for 27 years and is concerned about general safety,the lack of sidewalks, and safety for people. I was an educator for 46 years and have a concern for children and bus stops where they are picked up. He asked, what happens when you add traffic. Intersections have become a concern. Our driving patterns have changed radically in the last six to eight months. Going south from the westbound of Wildmere Avenue is really dangerous. We now go either down to Dog Track Road and cut way back over, or we find another way. If we go north, we totally miss the intersection at Ronald Reagan Boulevard and State Road 434, we go up Grant Street and northbound away from this intersection. I hope there is something in the plan to correct the width of the streets. I am really concerned about where we are headed with the streets, sidewalks, and safety. Ms. Cathy Muller, 359 East Maine Avenue, Longwood. She said I have been a resident and homeowner for 45 years. I have seen a lot of change and have always known that the Whitehead property would someday be commercial. I am not opposed to that. I do applaud the move to bring in some quality retail and hopefully some fine dining. However, I anticipated that we would be given the same consideration that the residents of Evergreen Avenue were given when they started developing those parcels in CC 05-20-2019/5 front of them. No access was given to the businesses on Evergreen Avenue. They were required to put in high landscape privacy in addition to a fence or a wall, and on Evergreen Avenue today, you cannot see those businesses. It provides greenery and privacy for the residents, and I would ask for the same kind of consideration for those of us on Maine Avenue. I am also concerned they want to put in a four-story apartment building. This property is not on the corner of a highway. It is in the middle of Maine Avenue with homes leading up to it and away from it and across the street. A four-story building would affect the privacy, block sunlight and cast a long shadow, and I don't know what the decibel of noise would be from air conditioners to cool 300 apartments in addition to all the retail space. Also,there would be the dumpsters and a parking garage. I would hope this would be something that would not be approved. At Winter Park Village, the lofts above them are one story. That would be more in keeping with our neighborhood which is low density across the street and going down the east side of the street. Renters do not have the commitment to the community. They will not care about traffic and other things. She asked, what would it do to the crime rate. These are all concerns. If you want women shoppers, bring in some home decor and clothing stores. Mr. Dwayne Degoise, 460 East Evergreen Avenue, Longwood. He said he is a graduate and a career advisor at a local university. My wife and I have been married 40 years and have owned and lived at our address for the past 35 years and raised five children there. It has been mostly quiet despite encroaching development that has gone on in front of and recently down the street from us. We have received word that there is a proposal to open our present dead-end street, East Evergreen,to traffic going into some type of yet to be configured Shoppes of Longwood. If the comments and the atmosphere of the neighborhood are totally disregarded, it is likely it will be a massive complex similar to what was just completed in Lake Mary. At the opposite end of East Evergreen Avenue, from this new proposal, stands an unfortunate result of developers getting their way. The whole rezoning of the Joel Webb Grant Street Parcel behind the Chiropractor's office I will call simply The Reserve was pushed through in an untimely manner without making all of the surrounding population aware of what was to come. Besides its ill-advised birth apparently, to fit as many units as possible on to the property, the alignment of the drive is improperly offset from Evergreen Avenue across from it, creating a traffic hazard for old and new residents alike. Who knows if any particular attention was paid to this in its planning CC 05-20-2019/6 and execution. To residents who have waited for years for our town to progress, this whole new project sounds like a blank check being handed to overzealous developers. Run a sizable project up a flag pole as under-represented locals can be made to gulp and swallow and call that a success. Our quiet residential back streets were not built for nor ever intended to become entrance ways for still to be determined retail spaces, much less multitudes of apartments, all in buildings totally out of character with existing homes. The Shoppes plans involving surrounding streets to this point seem to show little regard for the current residents nor the long-term traffic issues the immediate influx would bring, and they absolutely mock the intention of carrying through on the theme of a Historic Longwood. In these Central Florida areas where massive, multi-story apartments are being situated, developers are selling city leaders on the idea that there are crowds flocking to live in some proximity to commuter trains. Disaffected dwellers later discover the grand transportation does not run twenty-four hours, much less on weekends. Thank you for this time allowing me to speak. Ms. Linda Reck, her mother lives at 278 East Maine Avenue, Longwood and she is speaking on her behalf. She said she grew up at this address and her mother has lived there for over 40 years. We need to keep in mind what Maine Avenue is. It is a two-lane, narrow highway with a 20 mph speed limit, and has a sign at the entrance prohibiting trucks over 12,000 pounds. What this proposal does is it increases the traffic exponentially. There are two issues here. You have a commercial problem putting in the retail stores, they need deliveries. So you have bigger trucks with no sidewalks doing deliveries to retail. By introducing a four- story apartment complex with an entrance directly into a garage from Maine Avenue, you are really talking about increasing traffic. Now you have hundreds and thousands of renters who are going to be dumping out onto Maine Avenue, a street not designed for that. As you have heard other people talk about,there are sound issues, traffic issues, a variety of issues I think have not been considered. If you look at the traffic studies done so far,there is no mention of Maine Avenue other than the intersection with Ronald Reagan Boulevard (County Road 427). There is no study about what the impact is to the residents and what will be happening on that street itself, which I think you are hearing over and over again is the key concern for the people here tonight. In addition to traffic on that street, you are talking about no time limits. Apartment residents all come and go as we please, so now you have people coming and going in a flow on Maine Avenue CC 05-20-2019/7 that is much higher and at any time of the day. Commercially you can limit entrances and exits, but you cannot do that with residents. There are impacts on resources also. Maine Avenue just got sewers not all that long ago, so there is that resource issue as well. No one here tonight is opposed to change, but we ask for the right change be done for perspective single-families so it maintains the right quality of life and what Mom would envision. Ms. Sharon Fossill, 553 East Warren Avenue, Longwood. She said speaking of sewer,former Mayor Joe Durso looked me in the eye and told me we would have sewer by October 2017. Then, he made sure his area where he lives south of State Road 434 had sewer with grants. When I spoke with him again about this, he said I did not tell you that. I highly encourage you all to proceed with getting us on sewer. We have waited long enough, and we are closer to the Historic District. Our area should have been done first. Mr. Mark Taback, 434 East Maine Avenue, Longwood. He said he moved to Longwood from Chicago two years ago because of it being a charming, quaint, family-oriented, historic town. We have a lake in the back, and we go there for the tranquility. As a realtor, I understand property values, and to my shock and dismay, even though I am in favor of progress and development, $10 worth of paint greatly impacted the resale value of my home. Any realtor will tell you do not buy a house on a busy street because it will not be able to sell. A double yellow line indicates a commercial street for anybody looking for a home. I do bike, and there are no sidewalks, but to have a major development exiting onto a residential street with children, dogs, walkers, and bikers greatly troubles me. I would ask you to consider changing a residential area into a commercial street. Mr. Michael Patient, 304 East Wildmere Avenue, Longwood. He said he is a 34-year resident who used to live on Oak Street for ten years. I am a retired Information Acknowledged Solution Engineer, a retired video company owner, longtime volunteer, and former Board member for the Casselberry Chamber of Commerce, and also a member of the Seminole County Chamber. Mr. Sackett may remember I was Business Person of the Month two years ago, so I am active in the community. Currently, I am the organizer of the Wildmere Grant Homeowners Traffic Coalition I introduced you to in March. I am here to speak about the intersection of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and Wildmere CC 05-20-2019/8 Avenue. That has been my top project for the last two months. Not long ago there were town hall meetings with residents in 2015, and in 2016 with Mr. Durso. At that time a traffic light was requested and proposed, and it never happened. The coalition area is bounded by U.S. Highway 17-92, State Road 434, Ronald Regan Boulevard and Lyman High School. In that area,there are about 1,500 residents, and about 270 plus single-family residential homes. This intersection of Wildmere Avenue and Grant Street was difficult back in 2014 and 2015. SunRail has made business development across the street much worse. We are at a critical point. I am asking Mr. Drummond, who we have not spoken to since March 13th,to step up, and the rest of the city to step up because as of Tuesday of next week, there is going to be a meeting with the Seminole County Traffic Engineering and the city, and this is going to come up at that meeting. They are saying there is not enough traffic on Wildmere Avenue to justify a traffic light. That is because we avoid it. We do not go there. I look forward to hearing from the commissioners and city administrators on this topic next week. 8. MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS' REPORT District#3. Commissioner Paris said he attended the legislative update here in Seminole County and it addressed what happened in Tallahassee. We did not get too much attack on Home Rule up there. The Seminole Tribe has suspended their payments to the State of Florida to the tune of 20 million dollars a month, so there is a definite chance there will be a Special Session called by the Governor. Those are important things when it comes to our local businesses here and how it affects the city itself. District#4. Mayor Morgan talked about House Bill 1451, which is about non-addictive pain killers. With the hope of Governor Ron DeSantis signing this, it is to have doctors give a pamphlet of non-addictive choices to the patient in normal scenarios where they would be writing a prescription for an opioid. We hope this gets put into a law where the doctor has to present and verbalize your options as far as non-addictive narcotics go. Another bill that would affect us in Longwood is House Bill 7123,the Hurricane Sales Tax-Free Holiday. Hurricane season starts June 1st, and what this bill says is, from May 31 through June 6 you will not be charged sales tax on hurricane items such as generators $1,000 and under, self-powered lights, tie-downs, radios, tarps, reusable ice, coolers, batteries, and fuel tanks. We had another meeting for the Seminole County Opioid Council to push forward the idea to use Reiter Park in Longwood for a National Opioid Awareness Day, which is August 31st. He said the new Starbucks sign at U.S. Highway 17-92 went up advertising their opening coming soon, and Taco Bell opening is underway. He CC 05-20-2019/9 attended Ramadan at Longwood's American Muslim Community Center. He mentioned Sarah Hall is our Seminole County Public School (SCPS) Teacher of the Year, and she came up with the idea "Read With A Hero", which will be on Sunday,June 2nd at 9:30 a.m.to 10:30 a.m. at Reiter Park Tranquility Garden to promote reading. He was able to get Scholastic Books to sponsor the event and give a book to each child. He represented Longwood at the Interfaith Iftar, which was at the Husseini Islamic Center(HIC) Center in Sanford. He reminded everyone that May is Cancer awareness month. District#5. Deputy Mayor Sackett said Friends Academy just had a graduation of four-year-olds from their Pre-K Program. He would like to sometime in the near future recognize the Lu family, who own the Sushi restaurant, Bay Ridge. He mentioned he taught their kids. They suffered a fire at their brand new restaurant before it was opened. I would strongly encourage the department and possibly the Citizens on Patrol (COPs) to get out on weekends and take care of the Snipe Signs that are all in the wrong places. He said he had a grand tour of the new Lyman High School Stadium. It is almost done and looks fantastic. They had to build a new ticket booth in front to a proposal of$250,000 which the Boosters and people of this community have raised money to build. He is also meeting with Principal Mike Rice, to discuss the city pool being over in that facility. Graduation is tomorrow for Lyman High School, and we wish all 500 to 600 students well in their endeavors. He wanted to give Mike Aiken, our Deputy Fire Chief, a special thanks for substituting for Chief Peters. He was able to get the kids at Woodland Elementary a Ladder Truck that was able to lift up 105 feet in the air to drop their egg engineering projects down to see if the eggs survived. Out of the 140 eggs, 16 survived. He will be out of town for an anniversary trip with his wife. He said they have been married for 45 years and will be in Canada, and he will not be at the next meeting. District#1. Commissioner Shoemaker said Commissioner Drummond and I graduated from Leadership Seminole on May 17th. She thanked the city for sponsoring her to go through that program. I wouldn't have missed it for the world. District#2. Commissioner Drummond said it was a great graduation. There were 500 people that attended our graduation. He wanted to thank everybody who came out to talk about The Shoppes of Longwood. He said he is glad they are going to stick around because they will hear more information from Chris Kintner tonight. He stated we are in the planning stages, no papers have been signed, and they are not "in bed" with any developers. He said he wanted to address the stoplight at Wildmere Avenue and Ronald Reagan Boulevard. I live in that CC 05-20-2019/10 neighborhood also. I am afraid if we put a traffic light over there, it will only increase traffic 1,000 fold on that road. If you put a traffic light at Ronald Reagan Boulevard and Wildmere Avenue,the other end of Wildmere Avenue is at U.S. Highway 17-92. Everybody is going to be using that for a cut through all of a sudden. It is going to increase traffic much more than it is now, in his opinion. 9.
