7. PUBLIC INPUT
A. Presentation: Mr. Chris Kintner, Community Development
Director,to provide a presentation on the Land Development
Map.
Mr. Kintner reviewed what he planned to present and advised the
last Major Comprehensive Plan amendment to the Future Land
Use map was in 2010.The way the overall land development
scheme was set up was to promote development along major
corridors and near the SunRail without requiring individual Land
Use changes for projects. Each project requires some kind of
process. In Longwood, the thought process was to take a lot of
that out and make it a lot more predictable for people. In 2010,
the battle in Longwood was restoring its reputation as it relates to
development. This Land Use plan intended doing that. Around
CC 04-05-2021/2
that time, development pressure led to increased density in many
areas to grow up, not out. Longwood ran into the issue of having
very little land that is open and available to develop in terms of a
sizable amount of space and ownership issues. This amendment
put a lot more density into the development pattern because we
knew we had a small amount of land and not a lot of room to
grow. The thought process around this particular map
amendment was to add more value on fewer acres.
Mr. Kintner said Longwood's setup is different from some cities.
We use the Future Land Use Map to regulate land uses and
density. We have a zoning map used to handle setbacks and other
site standards.The 2010 update created the Infill and Mixed-use
Land Use category.This is the Land Use category you find
everywhere from State Road 434, U.S, 17-92, Ronald Reagan
Boulevard (CR 427), and Dog Track Road. It allows multi-family,
commercial, restaurants, and retail. We measure density in the
number of dwelling units per acre.There are twenty-five (25)to
thirty-five (35) dwelling units per acre on the main corridor and up
to fifty(50) dwellings per unit around the SunRail station. One of
the general principles about having it on corridors is the
opportunity to get people to use mass transit instead of their cars
to get around. He mentioned buildings in Longwood and their
dwelling units per acre.
Mr. Kintner mentioned the challenges have been many properties
on high-density corridors also back up to an impact existing single-
family residential. He said there is a balance where one side of the
corridor supports a lot of traffic and higher development but in
some cases, you are either right across the street from a single-
family residential or directly adjacent to it. In the past years, the
City Commission has passed several Land Development Code
(LDC) amendments to mitigate impacts such as further distance
between taller buildings and residential properties, higher tree
removal fees to encourage protection of mature trees and parts
to use as buffers, and also enhancing requirements generally for
landscape buffers between existing residential and new single-
family.
Mr. Kintner pointed out that most, if not all, of the new
development that we are going to see, is going to occur as
redevelopment which is more difficult to predict because you are
not sure who is attached to their property long term or not. He
said apartments continue to be in tremendously high demand
throughout most of Florida and Longwood is no exception.
CC 04-05-2021/3
Homebuilding will not catch up to this growth alone.This is
evidenced by the rental rates. It is trying to meet a demand issue
that is created by a hot housing market and a side issue of little
affordable housing. He said with all of that in mind, we took a look
at our map and the Future Land Use map and looked for areas
where properties had the proper Land Use and density assigned,
perception of market interest in the property, around five (5)
acres of property, proper site dimensions, and balancing of
properties for sale or properties we anticipate may become
available.
Mr. Kintner presented the maps, mentioned ongoing and future
projects, noted multiple properties in Longwood that could be
reserved as potential retail, mixed-use, or multi-family, and then
answered questions.
Discussion ensued on whether or not to impose a one-year
Apartment Moratorium and the impact this will have on citizens
and future development.
Mr. Langley noted the City could process through an ordinance
changing the Comprehensive Plan or Land Development Code to
provide for this type of Use to not go in certain areas no longer
desired by the Commission.You do not need a moratorium to do
that. While processing and drafting that law and having to go
through the public hearing process, the laws on the book will
remain in effect.There are ways of having particular Future Land
Use that allow a mixture of uses as they currently do as well as
adding another layer of approval on certain types of uses in some
areas of the City to go through a Conditional Use process.
Further discussion ensued on proper Use for specific properties,
changes to the Comprehensive and Zoning maps, apartment
development, and adjustments and standards that can be made
to Future Land Use including requirements and restrictions.
Mr. Kintner clarified this would be a Comprehensive Plan
amendment along with an LDC amendment that runs with it. It
would appear before the Land Planning Agency (LPA)first. If the
desire were to move forward with changes,the soonest it would
be brought to the LPA would be around June. He said staff would
want to coordinate to make sure the public was aware of the
meetings.
CC 04-05-2021/4
It was noted there would be another discussion with the
Commission to clarify all details and make sure everyone was on
the same page.
B. Public Participation. None.
8. MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
District#2. Mayor Drummond reported attending the Mayors and
Managers meeting on March 16 in Longwood.This was the first in-person
meeting since October. He thanked the City Clerk for arranging lunch for
everyone. He noted they talked about the COVID 19 response and the
new money that was going to be allocated to Seminole County and Cities
in Seminole County from the State. He said when money comes from the
Federal Government it has a very defined use. Anything done with it will
have to fit their definition and will have to provide receipts showing what
the City spent the money on. He said it is exciting because we have some
plans of what we can do with it. He is sure there will be further
discussions to figure out how much money we are getting and what we
can do with it.
Mayor Drummond reported attending the Tri-County League of Cities
meeting, the Farmers Market, and the Pirate Seafood Festival. He said
the festival was an amazing event, he was blown away by how many
vendors there were, and he was impressed by the Pirate Village.
District#3. Commissioner McMillan mentioned a request he made to
amend the City Commission meeting minutes on March 1, 2021,to
correct a reference made to Mr.Jason Kirby's title as Soil and Water
Conversation Supervisor for Group 1. He asked that we correct his title
but never spoke his full title. He said he is the member he spoke to a few
months ago about doing something to the park. He noted another
addition to the record he had omitted in his last report was the name of
the car aficionado whose family set up a memorial for him at the March
Downtown Longwood Cruisin' Car Show that passed away was Kevin
Beckwith.
Commissioner McMillan mentioned Soil and Water Conservation
Supervisor 3, Amy Volpe, is relocating out of state, and her last meeting
will be on April 13, 2021. He said Ms. Volpe was very active in our
community. She was instrumental in installing wildlife trail cams for
Seminole County trails and established the Wild Seminole Photo Contest.
She was elected in 2018. He wished her well. He understands the Board
will be voting to appoint a citizen to fill her vacancy. He suggested any
citizens interested could contact the Soil and Water Board.
CC 04-05-2021/5
Commissioner McMillan reported attending the Pirate Seafood Festival
on both days. He said he loved the Pirate Village and noted the weather
plays a big role for events in Reiter Park. On Saturday, there was a good
crowd towards the middle of the day until it tapered off towards the later
hot hours of the afternoon. On Sunday,there were clouds in the sky,
everyone stayed longer, and there was a great crowd. He said it was a fun
event. He reported preparations are well on their way for Tartan Day this
Saturday between 12:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.There will be bagpipers,
dancers, and the name of the band that will be there is called "Off Kilter"
who used to perform at Disney Canada. Unlike the Ceilidh event in
November,there will be more vendors, Scottish clan tents, and members
of family societies with ancestry information and bits of history.
Commissioner McMillan continued his theme of"The true, the good, the
beautiful". For "The True", he mentioned the American Rescue Plan Act.
He said he believes it was estimated the City would receive $6.5 million.
We have our priorities and things we can do in terms of helping including
the costs directly incurred from the City for water, sewer, and
infrastructure. He said although there are strings attached to spending
the money it was not a windfall and we can use it for the betterment of
our City. He quoted Senator Everett Dirksen "A billion here, a billion there
and pretty soon you are talking about real money."
Commissioner McMillan reported on "The Good". He received his vaccine
on Saturday at the American Muslim Community Clinic. He spoke to
director Atif Fareed for the first time who had sent the offer to our City
staff. He said he is a good neighbor who was active,talking to everybody,
and making sure everybody was okay. It was an organized event and they
are doing a great job.
Commissioner McMillan reported on "The Beautiful" mentioning the Alta
Longwood Apartments lobby and pool. He said he was not expecting it to
be that nice. It was well designed and they put a lot of thought into it.
District#4. Commissioner Morgan reported attending a Radio Program
called The Attorney Justin Clark show on Friday, March 19 and mentioned
the Township Plaza development deal for the City. He explained the
breakdown of the property and how it is developed. On March 20, he
reported taking the President of the Longwood Historic Society, Ms.Tracy
Putnam, along with one of the residents, Ms. Lori Rice, to the Longwood
Cemetery to talk about partnering with the Historic Society and doing
Historic Tours in the Cemetery. He also mentioned potentially doing an
Eagle Scout Project to clean up the Cemetery in the future.The next day,
he reported attending Longwood Historic Society's Chairman meeting
CC 04-05-2021/6
and went to Lyman High School to discuss their Black History Committee.
He said the meeting went well.
Commissioner Morgan reported attending the Pirate Seafood Festival on
March 27 and said it was a major homerun for our City. He commended
the City staff for looking professional and maintaining the cleanliness of
all of the tables, as well as, Mr. Rinaldo, Mr. Capizzi, and their staff
members. He noted Reiter Park has been and will continue to be a social
magnet to the City of Longwood and we have to continue to find ways to
monetize it and get more people out to the events. He has discussed with
the Acting City Manager his suggestion of a third-party company to help
with promoting and advertising City events, Community Building, and
park rentals.
Commissioner Morgan reported meeting with Mission Barbeque in
Oviedo who was interested in coming to Longwood. He said they are
impressed with Longwood and its events. He forwarded this information
to Mr. Gioielli, Mr. Kintner, Mr. Krueger, and the City staff. He thanked
Chief Dowda for going with him.
Commissioner Morgan reported attending the Ribbon Cutting for Alta
Apartments. He said the apartments are beautiful and exceed
expectations. On Tuesday, April 1, he reported speaking to the Young
Men of Excellence at Lyman High School. He got five (5)to seven (7)
members to sign up to be part of Longwood's Historic Society's Black
History Committee. He also reported meeting with Longwood resident,
Judy Dean. He said she works at South Seminole Hospital and a Hair Salon
at the Township Plaza. She is very committed to the City. She has a non-
profit called, I love an addict, do you? It was started with her son Donald
(Donnie) Dean who recently lost his battle with opioid addiction.They got
a plaque for him on one of the benches at Reiter Park. They also spread
his ashes in his honor and memory.
Commissioner Morgan encouraged everyone to attend Tartan Day on
Saturday at 11:00 a.m. then stop by the Sanford International Airport for
the Seminole Showdown where they will be raising money for the brand
new Advent Health Hope and Healing Center for opioid addicts. Every
penny made will be for the first fifteen (15) opioid addicts from Seminole
County.The event begins at 6:00 p.m. and wrestling will begin at 8:00
p.m. He said if you could not attend, please visit Seminole Showdown
and donate. He said this was a great example of connecting and making
partners with other people.
District#5. Commissioner Sackett reported attending the Pirate Seafood
Festival. He said the Pirate Village set up was gorgeous and the food was
CC 04-05-2021/7
delicious. He also attended the Egg Hunt and said it was a novel setup. He
commended Mr. Capizzi, City Staff,the Police Department, the Citizen
Emergency Response Team (CERT), the Citizens on Patrol (COP), and
everyone else that made it a safe family-friendly event. He said the next
day was Sunrise Service and he and his wife attended the church by the
Comic Book store that had a nice outdoor service. He attended the
Farmers Market on Sunday. He reported getting an individualized tour of
Alta Apartments and said it was a beautiful building.
Commissioner Sackett recommended a 20-year memorial for 9/11. He
reported being invited to the Boy Scouts group end-of-the-year banquet
at the VFW where all of their achievements were recognized. He
mentioned getting a call today about water bill spiking and said we have
to do something when this happens. He suggested alerts for daily water
usage or when there was a water spike.
Mr. Gioielli noted there would be a meeting tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. to
hear a proposal from an independent third-party vendor on improving
the technology of water meters. He also noted the Public Works Director
was working on alternative options that are cost-effective for the City. He
said one of the preliminary allowances under the American Rescue Plan
was used for water and sewer infrastructure.
Commissioner Sackett said the place he read about was Advanced Meter
Technology. It works through an app and sends alerts. He said people
need to know this sooner than later.
Commissioner Sackett mentioned the intersection of State Road 434 and
Ronald Reagan Boulevard is not being mowed and maintained. He
suggested the City take it over and put a City of Longwood sign there.
Mr. Gioielli mentioned the City staff has a meeting with the County this
month to discuss that very issue.
Commissioner Sackett reported watching the War on Grandpa movie at
his house. He said he was notified of a sports team that wants to put
down some roots within our City. He will keep us posted.
District#1. Deputy Mayor Shoemaker commended and thanked the City
staff for their efforts. She reported attending most of the events
mentioned and being pleasantly surprised while attending the Alta
Apartments Ribbon Cutting. She arrived early and reported being able to
ride the ladder fire truck that Fire Chief Peters was test-driving.
Mayor Drummond asked Mr. Gioielli about reading meters in the City.
CC 04-05-2021/8
Mr. Gioielli replied half of the City was being read with a wand but have
been slowly creating an update to the meters to get an automated read
with real-time data or a radio read function which sends signals out to a
radio that can then update the residents through email or text message.
He learned that if you do not fix the flapper on your toilet, it could
increase your bill by$100. He also shared that if you do have a repair and

13. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
Mr. Gioielli reported on the American Rescue Plan act as it may affect the
City. He noted staff is aware there is a plan for the City to receive funding.
He said we are waiting for the funding and are hopeful for some very
specific, detailed guidelines from the U.S. Department of Treasury. He
reported the Sunshade Grant for Reiter Park has been approved. He said
we could expect installations over the picnic table area behind the
restroom building. He provided a book on the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report in advance, in preparation for the next Commission
meeting where we anticipate our auditor to come forward with a
presentation regarding the audit of last fiscal year's budget.
Mr. Gioielli reported Seminole County Public School was preparing to
complete an Impact Fee Study as it relates to an educational system. Part
of that study involves a committee and part of the committee is formed
through a citizen's advisory group. He said we have been contacted to
provide a Longwood citizen representative for the group. He asked the
Commission for direction on a Longwood citizen and said the only
obstacle is that it starts this month so we have very short notice. He said
that Commissioner Sackett has volunteered as a Longwood resident to
participate as a citizen advisory group member. He said he has done it in
the past, works for the school board, lives in the City, and represents our
City as an employer very well.
CC 04-05-2021/12
Discussion ensued on choosing a citizen advisory group member.
It was the consensus of the Commission to choose Commissioner Sackett
as the Longwood resident for the Citizen Advisory Group Member. It was
noted if there was any concerns with Commissioner Sackett staff would
select another member.
Mr. Gioielli reported City Executive staff had a wonderful meeting at
Orlando Health South Seminole with their Executive staff on collaborating
and sharing ideas on the betterment of our City. He said it was good to
continue to see the partnership beyond the things each Commissioner
has done. He reported an update to the underlayment and asphalt of the
high traffic areas of the Pump Track, which will allow not only for a
permanent solution but also no longer, have to shut down the track for
grass maintenance. He said it was an improvement with no increase in
our budget.
Mr. Gioielli reported staff has filed a Community Project Funding request
for the West Warren Avenue Complete Streets project through
Representative Stephanie Murphy's office. He said there were only a few
days of notice this was going. He reported Summer Camp registration has
started and Summer Camp was going to June 1 through July 30 at Lyman
High School. It includes swimming, field trips, and free lunches for our
kids.
Mr. Gioielli reported City staff has finalized a grant in hopes of securing
some Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) funding to help
the City pay for the new Fire Department. He said there was a quick
turnaround for the Safe House grant where we can make our Fire Station
a safe house and at the same time use that to offset some of the City's
cost. It was applied for last Friday, City staff will be in front of a County
Board as early as next week, anticipate a couple of weeks later being in
front of the State, and hoping for a quick answer after. He said the
interesting thing about this grant was it includes up to 100%of the cost
of everything applicable.The cost can include land acquisition.This may
give us some extra opportunities.
Mr. Gioielli noted there are plans to update the intersection on Ronald
Reagan Boulevard and State Road 434. Staff learned there might be some
delays in funding for that project including the slip lane off Ronald
Reagan Boulevard and State Road 434 Westbound. He reported there
was going to be a meeting with some State and County officials this
month in hopes of motivating them to update the intersection. He said
not only does this help with traffic congestion for our residents but it was
also better for our public safety and employees and helps economic
CC 04-05-2021/13
development in the sense that it was easier for people to move to their
ten (10) minute drive time. While there, we are going to ask to own the
lot on State Road 434 and Ronald Reagan.
Mr. Gioielli mentioned Township Plaza and said he knows there has been
some communication about it on social media. We know preliminarily
there will be upgrades for an immediate improvement to the plaza.
Immediate repairs are going on other than the palm trees and the new
island.There will be resurfacing of the new parking lot, painting of the
building and the roof, upgrades to the lighting, and an outdoor seating
and decking area. He thinks that once the upgrades are complete and
there is interest in future tenants, the owner plans to start the bigger
projects. He said while it is his property he was going to do what seems
best for him. It is the staff's understanding there will be a long-term
project here, it is just going to be rolled out in phases.
