Ms. Ulozas advised of previous comments made at the February 2, 2016 BCC meeting and expressed concern that no action has been taken at this time to correct the many deficiencies that exist on the newly paved roads within the .subdivision, She noted many of the roads included in the assessment started to crack as soon as they were paved and grass is now growing in those cracks. Ms. Ulozas advised that property owners were assessed over $9,000 per lot and it appears that much of the work has not been properly completed. She stated at the February 2, 2016 meeting, the BCC agreed to notify the contractor's bonding company of the many issues property owners are having with the construction of the roads; however, she never received a copy of the letter/notification and is unsure if it has been done: In response to Ms. Ulozas, County Attorney Minter advised that staff did notify the bonding company and at this point is just waiting to see what further action will be taken regarding the project. He advised that the bonding company has yet to intervene in the process. In response to Chairman Bryant, County Administrator Bouyounes advised that additional testing has been performed, noting the contractor recently advised of the possibility of engaging asecond engineering firm to review the road cracking issues.' He clarified that it is not an obligation that the contractor has to hire another engineering firm; however, it is an option that staff is encouraging. Mr. Bouyounes reiterated that both the contractor and the bonding agent have- been notified of the issues and staff ls.waitinq for an answer as to how the firms are going to resolve the problems. Chairman Bryant requested Acting MSTU Director Shawn Hubbuck meet with Ms. Ulozas to provide her more information as to what actions the county will be taking to resolve this matter., .Ms. Ulozas advised that the white line on SW 97th Lane vilas dug up during the repaving process and to this date no one has come out to repaint it, noting the line is before the stop sign. Chairman Bryant, requested Ms. Ulozas provide that information to Mr. Hubbuck. She directed Mr. Hubbuck to update the Board with any correspondence the department receives from the contractor and/or bonding agent. ComrnisslonerZalak questioned whether there is a timeline by which the contractor must respond. Mr. Bouyouneis stated the bond is still enforceable, noting staff is working with the contractor and can place the company on Notice of Deadline if that is the Board's direction. He requested the Board allow him to continue to work with the contractor. ' Thomas Romeo, SW 95th Street, advised that he contacted Mr..Hubbuck, but has not yet received a response. He commented on a core sample that was taken on SW'97th Place that failed, noting this is another deficiency that has never been addressed. Mr. Romeo noted his driveway is in' terrible condition and floods due to an insufficient swale. He addressed the option that will allow property owners to place 'their MSTU assessment

, funds 'in the hands of a Judge rather than paying it-to the county until the issues are resolved. Mr. Minter addressed cases of ACtion in Interpleader, which is a civil procedure that allows a plaintiff to initiate a lawsuit in order to compel two or more parties to litigate a dispute,

Growth Services Director Martsolf advised that this is the first of 2 required public hearings to consider adoption of an Ordinance amending Article 5, and adding Division 8 of the LDC, noting the final hearing is scheduled for June 7,2016 at 10:00 a.m. Mr. Martsolf advised that the LDRC met at a public hearing on May 11, 2016 and have made several recommendations and changes to the original version of the code language.

The boundaries include the area east of US Interstate 75 (1-75) and west of the

Book V, Page 461

Page 8: S.€¦ · Book V, Page 455 . May 17, ... (NIE Tab) "Splash Into Our Water ... School; and Principal Dawana Gary, Dr. N.H. Jones Elementary. 1E

May 17, 2016

eastern boundary to provide for possible changes in the future rights-of-way (ROW). Section 5.8.4. Permitted Uses, was amended to clearly state appropriate land uses allowed in a B-2 (Community Business) zoning district to include P-RV (Planned Rural Village) District and RR (Recreational Resort) zoning classifications. He clarified these changes will allow for a Recreational Vehicle (RV) Park, as well recreation resorts within, . ,­the overlay zone. ,, . -.s.

In response to Commissioner Zalak, Mr. Martsolf clarified that P-RV and RR are specific zoning classifications and are not included as part of a B-2 designation. He noted RR classifications include covered marinas and other things associated with natural

, resources, national forests, horse parks or the Greenway. Mr. Martsolf clarified that the restrictions under Section 5.8.4. Permitted Uses, does not apply to land east of 475A. Mr. Martsolf referred to Section 5.8.5. Visual Enhancement Standards, which solidifies the requirement for a 20-foot landscape buffer on.a minimum two foot berm with an option to allow for three-board fence segments to be strategically located. In response to Chairman Bryant, Mr. Martsolf stated there is a requirement that the three-board fence be either black or earth-tone in color in order to. be consistent throughout the overlay zone. He advised that in order to keep a consistent larger tree canopy look down the corridor, there is a requirement for live oak trees on a minimum 50 foot center. Mr. Martsolf noted an 8-foot sidewalk is required and may be integrated into, or provided adjacent to, the 20­foot landscape buffer. In response to Chairman Bryant, Mr. Martsolf stated the 8-foot sidewalk is required to accommodate a more multi-modal form of transportation (e.g., bicycle lane). He addressed Section 5.8.5.(4)(b) as it relates to signage for the overlay zone,noting language was added to address flqg lots. Mr. Martsolf clarified that lots consisting of less than 50 feet of frontage shall be permitted to utilize one multi-tenant monument sign not to exceed 50 feet. For larger parcels with multiple occupancy usages, signage is allowed to increase" to 300 square feet (sf) in sign area and, up to 15 feet in maximum height. He clarified that these requirements are only applicable to signs that are visible from CR 475A. In responseto Commissioner McClain, Mr. Martsolf advised that staff originally proposed a 60-foot ROW after the LDRC workshop, noting in many areas of the corridor the roads only have 33-feet wide ROWs and if something develops along those areas more ROW will be needed to achieve 100 feet. He stated the new language will allow the county to have 20-fee't of ROW, wherever the ROW ends up, . Commissioner Moore expressed concern that some of the new requirements are overreaching. Mr. Martsolf stated. the changes offer property owners more options and are less restrictive in relation to multi-tenant occupancy. In response to Commissioner Moore, Mr. Martsolf advised that live oaks are the strongest and hardiest of the oak species. Chairman Bryant opened the floor to public comment. Nan Bonfield, SW 16th Avenue, expressed concern with the requirement for live oaks, noting tall trees tend to be struck by lightning, which can be hazardous. She opined that the overlay requirements should leave it up to the developer as to what type of tree's to, plant. Ms. Bonfield noted the 3-board fencing was originally an optional choice, but is now a requirement. She stated she would prefer a 5 foot sidewalk, which is standard. Roger Knechtel, SE 97th Terrace Road, Summerfield, questioned the timeline in relation to widening the roadway in the overlay zone. Chairman Bryant advised that there is not a specific timeline in regard to constructing a four lane roadway in the overlay zone. Joanne Warner, SW 16th Avenue, expressed concern that the overlay project will

May 17,2016

decrease property values. She stated she lives on the east side of CR 475A, but will still be effected by the overlay zone as it relates to traffic, ambiance, etc. Ms. Warner opined that landowners directly across the street from this project should also be notified so that property owners are aware of what is being proposed. Sarah Clifton, NE 11th Circle, commented on the color of the fences, noting she would prefer to see fences that"are painted white. She opined that live oakcanopies are very attractive. Chairman Bryant advised that public comment is now closed. A motion was made by Commissioner McClain, seconded by Commissioner Zalak, to direct staff to move forward and prepare an Ordinance amending Article 5, and adding Division a of the LDC for the second and final public hearing on June 7, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. In response to Chairman Bryant, Commissioner McClain stated he is willing to amend his motion to remove the requirement as it relates to the three-board fence. Commissioner Zalak opined that a consistent fence color will be cohesive along the corridor. Chairman Bryant stated it should be up to "the property owner, noting she does not wantto define ,a color for the fencing; however, she can accept the restriction that the fencing can be black neutral or white. Commissioners. McClain and Zalak concurred and amended the motion" to include the option for the 3 colors of fencing. ' Mr. Minter clarified this is only the first of two public hearings, noting the Ordinance will not be "adopted today. He advised that the Board can indicate to staff what language to amend in the proposed Ordinance to be considered at the second hearing. In response to Chairman Bryant, .Cornrnissloner McClain clarified that if the county eventually widens the road it will be required to buy the ROW; noting staff is trying to require the developer to dedicate the ROW to the countyinstead. " Mr. Martsolf stated no ROW widening is proposed within the overlay zone at this time; however, as the corridor develops traffic may require the road to be widened. He ctarlfied that the LDRC wants to ensure that after the ROW is dedicated that there is still enough

. room to provide for a consistent buffer.'

. In response to Commissioner Moore," Commissioner Zalak stated a typical four lane roadway requires 5-feet of sidewalk on each side, the proposed overlay is only requiring an a-foot sidewalk on one side of the roadway. In response to Chairman Bryant, Parks and Recreation Director/Landscape Architect Jim Couillard, ASLA, advised that the county does not specify tree species in its LDC; however, it does require that plans be provided by license and registered professionals who use their training to pick the right plant for the right place. He opined that utilizing a specific list results in a monotonous landscape pattern throughout the community: Mr. 'Couillard clarified thata palm tree is not considered a shade tree. General discussion ensued .. Mr. Minter addressed ROW acquisition, noting he will provide the Board with a written report relating to this matter to offer further guidance. He advised that approximately 15 years ago a number of cases in Florida dealt with "Maps of Reservation", noting the specific purpose for the "Maps of Reservation" to be adopted and recorded by the state and local governments was to reduce land acquisition costs, noting a potential taking question arises when you get into those kind of issues. The general idea with any kind of required dedication is that as long as the county can show a nexus or rational connection between the proposed development and the impact it is creating on the transportation system, then the county can require an off-site dedication.

7C2. Request Approval for a Partial Release of Lien on Code Enforcement Case No. 461705-AL and 565471-GF (Budget Impact - None) The Board considered the following recommendation as presented by Growth Services Director Martsolf:

Description/Background: On July 19, 2006, the Code Enforcement Board imposed a fine in case # 461705-AL. On parcel # 2091-004-016, property address 2593 SW 167th Avenue, Ocala, FL 34481. ,A lien was recorded on July 21, 2006 and on September 13, 2006. In case # 545471-GF, for the same parcel number and property address, a lien was recorded on July 18, 2012, which also attached to any real or personal property owned by the Maryrose E. Colbert. The total amount due for the liens on both cases is $9,542.30. The parcel at 2593 SW 16]th Avenue, Ocala, FL 34481, currently has an open case and is not in compliance. On March 14,2016, Mitzi Robinson submitted a request to appear before the Code, Enforcement Board regarding property address,3740 SW 181st Court, Dunnellon, FL 34432, parcel # 1740-015-047, also owned by Maryrose E. Colbert. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson purchased this property through quit claim and have cleared all the overgrowth as well as cleaned and updated the home. Code Enforcement has never had any cases on this parcel. The Code Enforcement Board recommendation(s) were sent to Dana Olesky Taylor, Sr. Assistant County Attorney, for her review for legal sufficiency. It is recommended that a Partial Release of Lien be recorded on parcel #1740-015-047, property address 3740 SW 181st Court, Dunnellon only. A Lien against all other real and personal property of the Respondent(s) Maryrose E. Colbert shall remain in full force and effect.

A Lien against all other real and personal property of the Respondent(s) Maryrose E. Colbert shall remain in full force and effect.

In response to Commissioner Moore, Mr. Bouyounes advised that the property requesting to have the lien waived is not the property that originally had a code violation on it, but was owned by the same Respondent. Commissioner Arnett clarified that there was a common owner for both properties at the time of the violation, noting the current owner of Parcel No. 1740-015-047 acquired the subject site for $100 through a 'quit claim deed knowing there was a $9,000 lien against the property. He opined that he is in favor of either denying the request for a Release of Lien or reducing the amount of the lien on the subject site. In response to Commissioner McClain, Mr. Martsolf advised that this request will not remove the lien from any other real and personal property of the Respondent Maryrose E. Colbert. ' Mr. Minter provided an analogy similar to when a bank holds a mortgage on a property it will hold certain assets as collateral or security for that mortgage, noting the bank is always concerned about impairing the value of their security. In this case the county can argue that if there is an individual who has a code violation on 1 property, but owns multiple properties, all those properties are the security the county has to ensure the lien is paid off and the violation is corrected. Commissioner Arnett noted the Board could divide the lien between the 2 properties. General discussion ensued.

'cost estimates for a new Citizen's Convenience Center and Transfer Station Improvements at the Baseline Solid Waste Facility.

necessary repairs to the transfer station in its Request for Proposal (RFP). Mr. Sims stated if that is the direction the Hoard wants to go then it can be done. He clarified that Item 7F4 is not related to the citizens drop off facility or the transfer station and noted that Item is in regard to an issue inside the Baseline Landfill relating to the landfill gas collection system. Commissioner Arnett questioned if it is necessary to have the study performed prior to determining which option the Board will choose relating to the citizens drop off facility. Mr. Sims stated one of the issues is. that staff is looking for reasonable construction cost estimates, and for that to happen-staff is recommending moving forward with the studies. Commissioner Bryant returned at 11:02 a.m. Chairman Zalak returned the gavel to Commissioner Bryant, who resumed the Chair. Commissioner McClain stated. he would feel more comfortable making a decision after the studies are performed. Mr. Bouyounes clarified that the study will provide different options and provide better details as to what the cost will be with each option. He noted the study will be detailed enough that some of the options can be included in the RFP allowing for the private sector to be responsible for making necessary improvements. Mr. Bouyounes stated one option for the citizen's drop off facility includes expanding the back of the existing transfer station. He advised that if that is not an option the Board wants to consider then it can be

. eliminated from the Scope ofService. Commissioner Zalak referred to Item 7F3 (citizens drop off facility), noting he and staff toured other facilities to look at how it is handled in other counties. He recommended staff bring back. photographs and evaluations from those other facilities to develop a. conceptual plan to be approved by the Board and then execute the engineering for that design. ' Commissioner Moore out at 11:04 a.m. In response to Commissioner Zalak, Mr. Sims stated a geological study will be performed as part of the Scope of Service. He clarified that some ofthe options will place the citizen's drop off facility to the south side' of the station; another proposed site will be to the immediate 'west and connected to the transfer station; or immediately north where the county is currently storing its waste tire pile. Commissioner Moore returned at 11:05 a.m. Mr. Sims addressed the landfill facility's peak usage day, noting this past week 453 vehicles came through on Saturday to hand unload their waste.

Commissioner Zalak questioned whether staff could call-other firms to question what their cost would be for the project. Mr. Simsadvlsed that due to the amount of money.involved in the project, if the Board wants other quotes, staff will have to utilize the Procurement process to issue a bid. Chairman Bryant expressed concern that any other firm thatwants to compete on the project will now know what G2 Energy's bid is for the project. Mr. Minter clarified that if the county is going to solicit competitive proposals, then it will need to go through the formal' bid process and not just call for quotes. In response to Commissioner Arnett, Mr. Sims stated the landfill is currently experiencing some water collection in the header main that was in the .slde of the· landfill prior to the east side slope expansion. He clarified that the water is moving under vacuum and is causing some surging in the flow of gas coming out of that section of the landfill. The motion failed by a vote of 3-2, with Commissioners Zalak, Arnett and Bryant voting nay. A motion was made by Commissioner Arnett; 'seconded by Commissioner Zalak, to direct staff to issue an' RFP for the Baseline Landfill Gas Utilization Project: 06P-002-TO-10 East and South Side Slope Landfill Gas System Pipe Replacement project (Item 7F4).

Mr. Sims questioned if the Board wants a draft RFP covering the citizen'sdrop off facility and the operation of the transfer station, as well as some of the options for Scopes of Services. CommissionerMcClain reiterated that the current Scope of Serviceis too broad, noting he is unsure that all the proposed work needs to be done prior to issuing an RFP. Mr. Sims questioned whether the Board would like to hold a workshop prior to issuance

. of an RFP. In response to Commissioner Zalak, Procurement Services Director Susan Olsen advised that staff can hold a pre-bid meeting with vendors to help provide ideas on how to write the specifications for the projects. She noted in this instance, staff is trying to figure out what is feasible by engineering standards, prior to issuing an RFP. Commissioner Zalak stated the issue with the current Scope of Service is that there are no engineering specifications that can be bid on in relation to the transfer station portion of the project. Ms. Olsen stated staff can hold a meeting or'workshop and invite vendors to participate.

Chairman Bryant opened the floor to public comment. Henry Munoz, Marion Oaks Boulevard, opined that solutions should be coming from staff, as there are qualified employees that can improve and resolve these issues rather than having studies performed by the private sector. Commissioner Zalak concurred, but noted there are times when it is important to have an engineer and/or consultant in the private sector that specializes in solid waste to provide their experience and recommendations.

Chairman Bryant suggested a workshop may be needed to discuss options relating to the future of the county's utility system. Mr. Bouyounes advised that one of the biggest challenges is mandatory connection and the costs involved. He stated 'staff will schedule a workshop to address this aspect of the utility system. ' General discussion resumed. Commissioner Moore addressed the possibility of -continuing the suspension of Transportation Impact Fees (TIF). Commissioner McClain stated the Board already agreed to impose those fees at a lower rate beginning next year. .

Commissioner McClain opined that the most important thing the Board can do for economic development is to ensure there are monies to fund transportation projects.

May 17, 2016

In response to Commissioner McClain, Mr. Minter stated the current Ordinance does not specify what type of muzzle the dog must have. General discussion ensued. Mr. Minter advised that current policy is if the owner comes to pick up the dangerous dog and does not have a muzzle, then the county has been providing or selling them a muzzle prior to leaving the facility. The intent was the muzzle supplied by the county is only used to transport the dog back to their property where it will be secured. He stated the issue arose when the owner was walking the dog with the muzzle on and it was still able to bite through the muzzle. Chairman Bryant directed staff to research and find a muzzle that is completely closed to offer to owners who come to the Animal Services facility to pick up their dogs and to begin the process to change the Code to state when an animal has been deemed a dangerous dog it specifies the type of muzzle that must be worn by-that animal. Mr. Minter commented on the possibility of providing a form to the owner when they come

,to pick up the dog that indicates that it is their responsibility to ensure the safety of others from future dog bites and that the county providing them any kind of muzzle does not take away from the owner's ultimate responsibility. He advised that one of the issues with the tort law is that if the county assumes the duty of providing muzzles to owners, it needs to make sure those muzzles are adequate or not provide them at all. Chairman Bryant addressed the upcoming BCC meeting schedule for the month of July, noting the first regulariy scheduled meeting is Tuesday, July 5,2016, which comes off the holiday weekend, as well as the Florida Association of Counties (FAC) conference the week before. She suggested the Board either cancel the July 5th meeting or reschedule it to Wednesday, July 6, 2016. It was the general consensus of the Board to cancel the regularly scheduled BCC meeting on Tuesday, July 5, 2016.

Chairman Bryant advised that public comment is now closed. Mr. Anderson advised that the access road is actually a private driveway and is not a public road. He stated traffic will not be increased by the use of the olive grove, as it ;s an . existing farm. Mr. Anderson stated he is not aware of there being so much traffic that they need be passing; however, Mr. Holland can move his fence to keep vehicles off his property. In response to Commissioner Zalak, Mr. Anderson stated the driveway is used for access from Highway 326 to the facility and meets the specifications to tractor trailers or whatever is used for the olive oil manufacturing. He advised that the FOOT specifications is solely at the entrance of the property. Mr. Anderson stated the driveway is 25-feet wide and about 2,000 feet in length. In response to Commissioner Arnett, Mr. Anderson advised that he does not know the history of the riqhts-of-way (ROW). Commissioner Zalak asked if there is no other access for the olive oil facility. William C. Dennis, West Highway 326, commented on the road, which was originally purchased by Mr. Ferguson, who passed away some years back. Mr. Ferguson kept a 20 acre cutout by the pond so he could go back there and fish and sold the rest of his farm to him (Mr. Dennis). He advised that he purchased all the acreage from Mr.Ferquson and his brother, both of whom have passed away; however, the family still lives on Highway 326 and still uses the property for fishing. Prior to putting in the olive trees the road was mainly used by feed trucks, pickup trucks and trailers to go in and out to take care of the cattle. Mr. Dennis stated the feed truck will come in once in a while, but noted you can see down the road and pull over to the side of the road (not on Mr. Holland's property) until the traffic passes. He noted this is the principal access back to the horses (on the front), cattle (at the back) and olives (on the eastern side of the property line). The small yellow square. shown on the aerial slide is a private cemetery that belongs to the Ferguson family and Brooks family, dating back to 1835. Another private driveway goes back to the house, but is probably not wide enough for a semi. Commissioner Arnett asked if other property owners use the road to access their property. Mr. Dennis stated the drive belongs to the Fergusons and is leased to him, noting it is not. a public thoroughfare and does not correspond to any properties to the west, as they have access out to Highway 225. He advised that the Lease is for 42 years and has an option for an additional 42 years. Mr. Dermis stated they mow and maintain the private road. Commissioner Zalak commented on the 24 hour use. Mr. Dennis clarified that when they process olives they will not be having trucks coming in and out for 24 hours, during that period. Olives from the grove are harvested 1 time a year and occurs for about 2 or 3

.weeks in the first part of September. The rest of the year there is nothing going on with

the olives. The best olive oil is when olives are harvested and run through the mill within 24 to 48 hours for processing through the cold press and then storing for 2 or 3 months. The reason for not staying with 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. is during those 10 days or 2 weeks when olives are being process they want to be able to keep the rnillgoing all night long to ensure that olives taken off the trees are being processed as quickly as possible. He advised that the olive oil will not be removed from the property, except during regular business hours. Mr. Dennis stated he does not envision any trucks coming in at night, but will be working in the fields at night harvesting the olives and running them through 'the mill.

.' .

In response to Commissioner Zalak, Mr. Dennis stated they sometimes work the cattle at 5:00 a.m. or 5:30 a.rn. and other times it is late at night, but does not see that occurring from an olive mill processing perspective. Commissioner Moore questioned the noise from a mill. Mr. Dennis stated the mill is not loud at all, noting the equipment was imported from Italy; the building is insulated and is very quiet. He invited the Board to visit the facility, which he opined is exciting for Marion County. Mr,'Dennis noted they are working with the University of Florida (UF), Institute of Food and Agricultural Science (IFAS), in putting the olives in and are trying to convince other neighbors to put in olives because of the citrus dying off from the greening disease, also known as huanglongbing (HBL) or yellow dragon disease. It is hoped,that the olives and blueberries, but olives in this particular case, will help to fulfill and backfill those crops that are no longer in this area. Marion County is a fantastic place for olive products slnce the trees have to' have 200 to 300 chill hours of 45 degrees (45°) or under to make fruit. . A motion was made by Commissioner Zalak, seconded by Commissioner Moore, to adopt Resolution 16-R-174'granting the Special Use Permit with Conditions 1 through 6, agreeing with Growth Services staff and the P&Z Commission recommendations, based on findings that the proposed 'use is compatible with surrounding land uses, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will not adversely affect the public interest. The motion was approved by the Board by a vote of 4-0, with Chairman Bryant abstaining. (Ed. Note: Form 8B appears on the following 2 pages.) .

1488. 160510RA - Allison L. and Lynn Zachary, Request for Reasonable Accommodation, .49 Acre The Board considered a request by Allison L. and Lynn Zachary, 6141 NW 61st Street, Ocala, FL, for a Reasonable Accommodation under the Fair Housing Act, for the opportunity for neighboring property owners to present any factual information that should be considered with respect to any adverse impacts that might affect neighboring properties by the application to keep 1 pot-bellied pig on the subject property, and what reasonable conditions might improve the effect of those situations, in an R-1 zone on approximately 0.49 acre of Parcel Account No. 1304-025-029. Growth Services Director Martsolf advised that the Reasonable Accommodation request is for a single pot-bellied pig and what appears to be a regular-sized pig in an R-1 zoning classification in the Ocala Park Estates subdivision. The applicants indicated that the pigs are for personal use for therapeutic purposes. Chairman Bryant cautioned the audience and asked them to take their conversations outside. Mr. Martsolf advised that the applicants provided a note from the Pediatrician stating the pigs are for therapeutic purposes for a child who resides on the property. Mailings were sent to 39 property owners and commented on a Code Enforcement case initiated by neighbors tothe immediate west. In recent conversations with the neighbors he advised that since the pediatrician note is one child, staff is recommending only the smaller variety pig, which is written into the Conditions. Staff also recommends that all enclosures and roaming be strictly on the eastern half of the property. Mr. Martsolf stated it is a 2 lot property and by keeping the pig on the eastern half it will be at least 1 lot away from the

, western property owner. He noted part of the neighbor's complaint was with the pig roaming and rooting next to their fence. Mr. Martsolf showed several slides on the overhead screens of the site, noting a couple of the Code Enforcement issues relate to a unserviceable vehicle. Growth Services Department is recommending approval upon observance of the following Conditions:

1. The existing one (1) pot-bellied pig (one per child) shall be allowed on the 0.20-acre site. The other pig shall be removed within 90 days.

2. The pot-bellied pig shall be kept in the existing enclosure structure suitably constructed and anchored/tied-down and located on the east end of the existing residence.

3. If the pig is permitted to roam outside its enclosure, adequate fencing must be provided to keep, the animal on the east half of the property.

4. Animal waste shall be removed from the property bi-weekly and properly disposed of..

5. The special use permit shall run with the applicants, namely Allison L. and Lynn Zachary andnot the property. '

6. The Special Use shall expire upon the removal of the one (1) pot-bellied pig on the subject property.

Attorney Marcy LaHart, SW 45th Street, Gainesville, advised that she is present today on behalf of the applicant. She noted her confusion with the suggestion that 1 of the animals be removed. Ms. LaHart stated she reached out to Mr. Martsolf in December of 2015 and provided the prescription from the doctor that says it is medically beneficial for the child to have pigs, not a pig, at home for pet therapy. She noted the prescription and explanation from the child's mottier (applicant) as to why the pig~ are necessary. The child has an autoimmune disorder and it is very important that her stress be managed.

May 17, 2016

When the pigs were removed the child immediately became symptomatic and when the pigs returned her platelets returned to normal. Ms. LaHart advised that pursuant to the Federal and State Fair Housing Act that the child needs to reside with both pigs being accommodated, A response' was received from Mr. , Martsolf that it was assumed there are only 2 pigs and that he would have Code ' Enforcement attach the email to the prescription to close the case out. If complaints-with valid concerns continue then another RA hearing will be held to mitigate those concerns. She stated she sent an email on February 19,2016 to Nicole Lasher advising that if there' are any problems with the pigs her client is willing to address any legitimate concerns and asked to be advised of any change to the pigs housing or manner of keeping the city deems necessary. .Ms. LaHart advised that she heard nothing' until her client was informed that this matter was coming before the Board and one of the recommendations was 1 of the'animals 'be removed. Chairman Bryant opened the floor to public comment. There being none, Chairman Bryant advised that public comment is now closed. Alison Zachary, NW 61st Street, presented 10 photographs of the pigs as well as 2 letters of support from neighbors. She commented on the medical condition of both of her

. children, noting 1 daughter was diagnosed in 2014 and the youngest daughter has started exhibiting symptoms. Ms. Zachary advised that both daughters are patients at Shands. She asked the Board to consider allowing them to keep both pigs for the girls. A motion was made by Commissioner McClain, seconded by Commissioner Moore, to approve the Reasonable Accommodation with Conditions 1 through 6, as amended (see below). '

CONDITION NO.1: The existing two (2) pigs shall be allowed on the ;20 site. CONDITION NO.2: The pigs shall be kept in the existing enclosure structure suitable constructed and anchored/tied down and located on the east end of the existing residence. CONDITION NO.3: If the pigs are permitted to roam outside their enclosure, adequate fencing must be provided to keep the pigs on the east half of the property. CONDITION NO.4: Animal waste, shall be removed from the property bi-weekly and properly disposed of. CONDITION NO.5: This Special Accommodation shall- run with the applicants, namely Alison L. and Lynn Zachary and not the property. ' CONDITION NO.6: This Special Accommodation shall expire upon the removal of the two (2) pigs on the subject property.

The motion was unanimously approved by the Board (5-0).

148. Planning and Zoning Items for Individual Consideration: Chairman Bryant commented on-the process in regard to Items 1481,1482, 1484, 1485, 1486 and 1487. Mr. Martsolf advised that the next three items (1481, 1484 and 1486) that will be heard are a combination of a land use amendment and a rezoning request. He noted Items 1481 and 1482 are inreqard to the Wormsor property on Highway 40; 1484 and 1485 are the Salser property on East CR 25; and .1486 and 1487 are the Vandeven property. When the Board considers the 3 applications they will only be considering the ·Iand use amendments, as to whether or not to transmit to the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) for review and comment. The' 'final adoption and approval of both the land use and

May 17, 2016

rezoning is not expected to be eligible and back from DEO for final determination until the July 19, 2016 zoning meeting. The Board will have an opportunity to comment on these items today and decide whether or not to transmit the, land use amendment to DEO, which will be back by July 19th for formal approval of the final land use amendment and zoning change. ' Staff presented the 3 Options the Board has today, which are in the order staff would recommend them: ' Option 1: Transmit the future land use amendments to DEO as submitted, which takes approximately 45 days for DEO to review and provide comments. When the zoning change is provided, as in these cases, it is straight zoning. For reference, the zoning changes in these cases considers the land use amendment, which will only be effective on the final BCe land use amendment approval. At this meeting, the Board can either give direction on the zoning portion of the case and may send it forward acknowledging the zoning that the applicant has requested; request a lower zoning; a Planned Unit Development (PUD); or a Developer's Agreement to address any of the stipulations that might come up in the discussion or deliberations today. The PUD or Developer's Agreement is intended to address specific requirements of the land or zoning, which is not apparent in straight zoning, such as: water and sewer availability, type of dwelling units, a maximum number, mix of units, access and buffering. All of which have requirements or limits for the straight zoning they requested and 'a PUD or Developer's Agreement gives the Board the ability to customize those. Option 2 is to transmit to a lower level future land use amendment. For instance, if requesting high density residential, which is 8 dwelling units per acre (du/a), the Board can transmit a lower density. At the time the zoning comes back, with the reduced land use, the applicant may have to make adjustments to the type of zoning they would request. Option 3 is to deny both the land use amendment and zoning. , Staff is recommending approval to' transmit the land use amendments. Mr. Martsolf advised that staff will address the Items.

1481. 16-L04 - Donna Wormsor, Rural Land and Low Residential to Low and Medium Residential; Including Amending the Urban Growth Boundary, 37~.20 Acres

, The Board considered transmittal of the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Large, Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 16-L04 by Donna Wormsor (owner) I J. David Tillman, Tillman & Associates Engineering, LLC (applicant) from Rural Land and Low Residential to Low and Medium Residential and amending the urban growth boundary (UGB).

PERCENT WRITTEN OPPOSITION WITHIN 300 FEET: 22 of 37 = 59%. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION ~ECOMMENDATION: Motion made by Mr. Lord, seconded by Mr.. Lourenco, to disagree with staff's findings and recommendation, and recommend denial based on the following findings of fact: 1. Will adversely affect the public interest. ,' 2. Is not consistent with the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. 3. Is not compatible with the surrounding land uses. The motion passed 6 to 0, with Mr. Bailey abstaining.

Senior Planner Chris Rison, Growth Services, advised that Large ScaleComprehensive Plan Amendment No. 16-L04 by Donna Wormsor is requesting to go from Rural Land and Low Residential to Low and Medium Residential. The overall site. is approximately 504

acres; however, the total acreage involved in the comprehensive plan amendment is 379 . acres. The current amendment is presently at 60 acres of low density residential and 319 acres of rural land areas. The proposed agreement will create 118 acres of low residential and 261 acres of medium residential. The amendment does include a proposal to change the UGB; however, that is not required for the request The property does encroach into the Farmland Preservation Area because the areas there match the UGB along this area, which is west of NW 80th Avenue and NW 70th Avenue (80th to the southern portion and 70th as it extends further north and to US Highway 27). The overall site currently includes an area that is within the UGR Technically, the dashed area to the- northeast is currently'

. designated as medium density residential and the 2 tracts to the 'southeastern corner are where the low density residential is, as well as a piece of the adjoining property, as shown on the aerial map on the overhead screens. The remaining properties shown on the aerial are the rural areas, also noted are the existing land use designations for the area and the proposed land use designations. Mr. Rison commented on the surrounding area, which includes SR 40, NW 80th Avenue, NW 70th Avenue and NW 11Oth Avenue, which shifts and interconnects to US Highway 27 to the north. The area generally consists of a number of varied subdivisions, with rural pocket subdivisions to the east and some urban type subdivisions to the west. The site is within the service area for the Northwest Golden Ocala Regional Utility System. Water and wastewater facilities area currently available. There would not be capacity for the project todoa maximum build-out from a wastewater standpoint. What occurs, is that a large portion of the project is currently undedicated facilities and the county has within its modules thresholds for triggering increased applications for design and physical expansion of a facility. In regard to transportation estimates, Highway 40 has recently been-4-laned and has available capacity according to the Capacity Analysis; which includes a full build-out for the project and presuming a -maximum density and development ofthe site.' NW 80th

Avenue is also a level of service (LOS) designated roadway that is part of the concurrency system; however, NW 100th Avenue is a county maintained and paved road that is classified as a major local roadway, but it is not where traffic counts are currently conducted. The P&Z Commission recommended denial of the: request due to concerns with compatibility, need and traffic. Growth Services Department staff recommends approval, at least for transmittal to the state at this point because of the unique area and the combination of development types and patterns. . . Mr. Rison advised that 14B2 (160506Z) is a request for a sta'ndardzoning change from A-1 and A-3 to R-1' and R-E. . David Tillman, Tillman &·Associates Engineering, SE 16thAvenue, applicant, was present and presented 2 (11x17) documents entitled, "Site Plan Conceptual Layout" and "Location Map". The Location Map depicts the general location of the property and shows urban type developments, ·such as Ocala Estates, even further west than the subject site. The Site Plan shows the inadequacy of NW 1OOth Avenue. One of the thinqs proposed for the low density residential and the adjacent medium density proposed uses is putting in a gate at the 2 points as shown on the plan. The reason for the' gates isto limit the amount of traffic going out to NW 100th Avenue. Those within the low density area have 'access out to NW 1OOth Avenue, SR 40 or NW 80th Avenue, but no one from the medium density parcel has access to NW 100th Avenue, which will reduce traffic on NW 100th Avenue

considerably. A 100 foot buffer is proposed along NW 100th Avenue and additional plantings will fill in any gaps. , The majority of the site along the roadway has a considerable buffer. Mr. Tillman referred to the photographs included in the Agenda packet in regard to the view from West Highway 40 that show a considerable buffer is in place. He noted there were a couple of breaks when the Department of Transportation (DOT) came in to· get a' stormwater easement; however, those have been replanted and are in the process of filling back in so there will be no visual impact along the roadway whenever development occurs. Mr. Tillman stated they can maintain all of the buffer that exists. Mr. Tillman noted a portion of the request falls within the UGB and advised that staff included the UGB expansion request. He stated he has no objection to the boundary being expanded, but did not include the request for the expansion and could care less if the boundary is expanded. The request is simply for the land use.change. Mr. Tillman advised that utilities are very close (up NW 80th Avenue) and available. He stated the request fits with the region, but noted the Board will hear that there is no need; however, there is no development of this type that is current within this region out on SR 40, with water & sewer and utilities. Mr. Tillman opined that there is a need for this more modern, up-to-date community; which will do well on SR 40. He advised that he will withhold further comment and answer questions at the end. Chairman Bryant opened the floor to public comment, noting several people have signed up to speak. She advised that she will call those who signed up first and afterward anyone who wishes to speak can come forward. Bruce McCown, NW 8th Lane, expressed his concern with access to NW 100th Avenue and it becoming a thoroughfare. He stated the changes do not fit with what is currently in the area and advised that he is opposed to the change. Myna, McCown, NW 8th Lane, advised that she is opposed to the proposal in several different ways. She presented 11 photographs of the roads in the area. Burt Stephens, NW 75th Terrace (Derby Farms), advised that he is representingthe Derby Farms Property Owners Association of Marion County (POA) today, noting most of the homeowners would have liked to been here today, but this is an inconvenient time; however, most signed a petition in opposition. He stated the Board should have received the signed petitions and a letter from the POA President, Nancy Wagner, addressing their concerns with the proposal. Mr. Stephens requested the Board deny the request for medium density residential across the road from Derby Farms. Rebecca Morales, Nw 100th Avenue, advised that she is also representing Ms. Althea Neal (NW 100th Avenue). She noted they are both concerned with increased traffic and are opposed to the change from agriculture. Ms. Morales asked that the Board 'deny the request. William Thomas,' NW 14th Street (Derby Farms), stated his main concern is not only quality of life, but the impact on Marion County in general. He commented on increased density and urban sprawl. Mr. Thomas questioned who will pay for the drilling of new wells, highway, and extra services that will be required. He stated he is opposed to the request. , David Welty, NW 21st Street, advised that he moved to Marion County about 3 months ago from southern California.' He voiced his opposition to the proposed change as it will change the rural characteristic of the area and asked the Board to deny the request.

Commissioner Bryant out at 3:29 p.m. Dale Kennedy, NW 14th. Street, voiced her opposition to the proposed zoning and land use chanqes, She presented a brochure for Irish Acres and a spreadsheet containing information about lots. Ms. Kennedy expressed her concern with unsold lots. in close proximity to the subject site and asked the Board to deny the request. . Lora Kuebler, NW·100thAvenue, advised that she is a native Ocalan and is opposed to the proposed changes. She asked the Board to deny the request. ' Commissioner Bryant-returned at 3:33 p.m.

. Chairman Zalak returned the gavel to Commissioner Bryant, who resumed the Chair. Colleen Stringer, NW 82nd .Court, expressed her opposition to the proposal. She commented on the Comprehensive Plan, noting the request is not compatible with the area. Solveig Frings, NW 28th Place, noted she and her husband own 2 properties and her family ride horses in the area. Commissioner Moore out at 3:37 p.m. Ms. Frings commented on increased traffic and road conditions. She urged the Board to deny the request. Paula D. Sheldon, NW 1OOth Avenue, expressed her opposition to the request for a zoning and land use change regarding the subject property. She stated the cost to implement services for new development is never recouped by taxes paidby. new residents and commented on improvements that will be needed. Commissioner Moore returned at 3:39 p.m. Lynn Liljeblad, West Highway 40, expressed her opposition to the land use change. She commented on increased traffic. . Frederich Frisby, NW 70th Terrace (Finish Line), noted most of what he had to say has been addressed. He stated developers always miss something, which is something to consider'. Sara Hauenstein, NW 80thAvenue, expressed her opposition to the rezoning and UGB extension as it will adversely affect the rural area and equestrian character; it does not comply with the Comprehensive Plan as it encourages urban sprawl; it adversely affects the public interest with 59% of those within 300 feet being opposed; it is not cost effective from an infrastructure standpoint; increases surrounding agricultural property owners liability risks; and increases the risk to the health of the animals. She advised of her concern with safety and attractive nuisance, Larry Corcoran, NW1 OOth Avenue, opined that the proposed changes in density will severely impact residents lifestyles. He stated the' changes are not appropriate or necessary and asked the Board to deny the requests. James A. .Scott, NW 82nd Court (Sherman Oaks), advised that he manages a large commercial horse farm within 5 miles of the subject site and is President of the Florida Thoroughbred.

Dr. Michelle Sivilich, NW 70th Terrace (Finish Line), advised that she is strongly opposed to the request from both a personal and professional level. She stated she has 20 years of experience in archeology, noting she is fairly cognizant of development laws and urged the Board to deny the proposed changes. Ms. Sivilich noted there are 3. known archeological sites in the vicinity of the proposed development and there potentially may be others. Commissioner Moore questioned where the 3 archeological sites are located. Ms. Sivilich stated the sites are along Highway 40, but do not know how far into the property they extend without further archeological work. In response to Commissioner Moore, Ms. Sivilich stated there are several prehistoric sites (Native American) in the area, but cannot say what they are as the survey is in mitigation. Dennis Sanford, East CR 25, Belleview, commented on traffic and asked the Board to deny the request. Sandra Ortolano, NW 82nd Court (Sherman Oaks), commented on the need to preserve the area.' Marty Goodell, NW 100th Avenue, stated he purchased 10 acres about 4 or 5 years ago and understood that he could not subdivide the property, so he purchased another lot (10 acres) behind him. He expressed his concern with someone being able to chop 10 acres into 1 acre tracts. Mr. Goodell advised that he is opposed to the request and urged the Board to follow through. Brent Barrett, NW 21st Street, noted he and others are opposed to the request primarily due to the rural to agricultural zoning. He urged the Board to keep Marion County horse capital of the world. Kim Nethercutt, NW 78th Court, advised that she is a Realtor and is opposed to the proposed changes. John Zylo, NW 8th Lane, stated there is no need in the neighborhood for what is proposed, noting he has invested over $400,000 on his property. He asked the Board to deny the request. Aurelio Chaux, NW 95th Avenue Road, advised that he moved to Marion County from southern California after retiring from his profession as a physician. He stated the obvious is that the only person in favor of the proposal is the developer and everyone else who live in the area is opposed. Mr. Chaux noted he is opposed to the request and urged the Board to consider the residents and deny the request. John Outlaw, NW 100th Avenue, stated he is a native Floridian and has lived in Marion County since 1994. He urged the Board to stop the request from encroaching on the horse community in the area. David MacKay, SW College Road, attorney, advised that he is representing 3 clients, one of which is Dr. Rebecca Lord, who resides on NW 82nd Court in Sherman Oaks. He commented on the UGB and Comprehensive Plan. Mr. MacKay questioned where the, demand is for this, noting surrounding properties that are already designated as medium density residential. He noted staff has identified· water and sewer is available in the vicinity. Mr. MacKay opined that there is not enough sewer capacity to supply the subject property, much less the hundreds of acres that are already designated for medium density residential. He questioned why the county would expand now and create a bigger demand on capacity. Mr. MacKay encouraged' the Board to keep the density at the lowest level possible and not approve the medium density request. ' Mr. MacKay addressed the portion of the subject property to the west that is outside the UGB, noting in order to change the land use it has to be consistent with the UGB. He

advised that his 2nd client, Terri Salcedo, lives on 12.4 acres on NW 100th Avenue and is a professional horse person (raises and sells horses). The impact on larger parcels for those who make their living on the land will be enormous if a high density residential development is placed. in the neighborhood. Mr. MacKay expressed concern with the backbone of Marion County (Le., small farms, horse farms and agricultural uses) being driven away. Mr. MacKay advised that his 3rd client is Live Oak Stud, Charlotte Weber's property, whose business address is NW Highway 27, Suite 201. Live Oak Stud consists of about 4,250 acres located immediately south of the subject site on the other side of Highway 40. He noted Live Oak Stud is a big operation that has a large economic impacton the county. Ms. Weber instructed her business manager, Ken Shaw, to hire an attorney to oppose the rezoning and land use change. Mr. MacKay. stated the Weber family concern is that the county is consistently encroachinq on their ability to continue as a viable agricultural operation. He commented on the liability issues and stated the expansion is another card dealt in the hand against agricultural industries in Marion County. Mr. MacKay noted he has submitted 2 different letters to the Board expressing his concerns in writing. He concluded by referencing a quote from a 1964 Supreme Court case. Mr. MacKay stated this is urban sprawl; it is not consistent with surrounding land uses; not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and is not appropriate plan amendment for Marion County. He urged the Board not to transmit this matter to OED, as it is a cursory review and has nothing to do with the local impacts this will impose on Marion County. . Commissioner Zalakout at 4:17 p.m. Jackie Miller; NW 77th Avenue, commented on the horse farms on SR 200 when she first moved here. Chairman Bryant advised that public comment is now closed. Commissioner Moore questioned the historical value of the site. Mr. Tillman stated when making submittals for projects such as this, at the engineering phase of moving forward for approvals, if archeological sites are adjacent to, or close by, any history of such sites, or anonymous phone calls, then they typically have to perform' an archeological assessment before any development can occur. He stated he is pretty certain that an archeological assessment will need to,be done on the site. Commissioner Zalak returned at 4:18 p.m. Mr. Tillman addressed comments made in regard to density, traffic. and water quality. He opined that more modern developments with water & sewer actually improves water quality.' Mr. Tillman stated this will not be a detriment to someone's water quality that is adjacent to the property and will not harm wells. He noted a portion of the property is already designated as medium density and they are trying to expand that medium density use. They did look at the fact thatthey are along the edge of the UGB, which is the reason the last 180 acres asked for low density residential. Mr. Tillman addressed comments by Mr. MacKay in regard to the UGB and language used, which falls underneath the section of the UGB;·establishment and modification of the UGB. He reiterated that they did not request a modification to UGB; therefore, the . majority of things stated have no applicability. Many of the excerpts from the Comprehensive Plan' that was read to the Board today are not applicable to this modification, but what is applicable is the policies for low density residential, which specifically states, "This land use designation is intended to recognize areas suited for primary single family residential units for existing and new development along the outer

Book V, Page 503

May 17, 2016

edges of the urban growth boundary or urban area.". The medium density residential area says, ''This land use designation-is intended to recognize areas suited for primarily single family residential units, but allows for multi-family residential units for a mix of uses for existing development and new development along the outer edges of the urban growth boundary or urban area." Mr. Tillman advised that these uses are specifically slated for this exact type of location within the Comprehensive Plan, noting everything that was read to the Board was from a different section. Mr. Tillman addressed sewer capacity, noting they -are asking for straight zoning on the parcels. Straight zoning requires larger parcels than can fit 4 units per acre on a piece of

_property. They will not be able to meetthe 4 units per acre with the sewer capacity. Master Planning is underway with the Utilities Department to connect these plants and if there is a lack of capacity; it can be pumped to the next plant. He stated this area is very well suited for water & sewer and this type of development. -Mr. Tillman stated they want to gate the property to limit access to NW 100th Avenue as it is a slag road that was not built for a lot of traffic; however, NW 80th Avenue and SR 40 were both built with plenty of additional capacity in place to handle the traffic. Commissioner Moore questioned what would be able to be built if the Board does not approve any changes. Mr. Tillman stated the north piece, on the Sherman Oaks side, already has medium density or 4 du/a and the lower section is low density residential or 1 du/a. He noted the other portion would either be 1 du/10a or could go to a hamlet if there was a possibility to increase the density. Commissioner Zalak questioned the total number of units on the acreage that is entitled. Mr. Tillman stated staff calculated about 500 units total, currently. Commissioner Zalak inquired as to the ask. Mr. Tillman advised that they are asking for straight zoning, which will not allow them to maximize the densities on the total ask of 1,041 and 118 in the low density residential section; for a total of 1,221 units. Chairman Bryant noted the 2 figures equate to 1,159 units. Mr. MacKay advised that he would like to correct a couple of misstatements, noting what he quoted to the Board is Policy 5.1.2: Review Criteria - Changes to Comprehensive Plan and Zoning. He noted he submitted a letter discussing the expansion of the UGB, which actually has a higher standard than this. Mr. MacKay advised that he had a written contract to represent Ms. Weber and Live Oak Stud. Chairman Bryant asked if there is any issue with the process in regard to a point that was brought up in relation to the UGB and consistency of the land use. Mr. Minter stated he saw no issue with the process the Board is using today. Chairman Bryant noted the UGB is not out where the land use is requested to be changed. She clarified that the question is if there is consistency with each; land use change and with the UGB not changing. Mr. Minter opined that is the point Mr. MacKay is saying, noting he is articulating that there does appear to be an issue. In response to Chairman Bryant, Mr. Minter agreed that it appears to be an issue. Commissioner Zalak opined that NW 80th Avenue was the boundary and asked if the properties west of 80th are in the Farmland Preservation Area. Mr. Rison stated they are not, noting the UGB and the Farmland Preservation Area is 1 mile to the west. He clarified that they are technically 2 separate areas, but essentially follow the same line, which is 1 mile west of 80th Avenue. Chairman Bryant brought the matter back for Board discussion and/or consideration. A motion was made by Commissioner McClain, seconded by Commissioner Arnett, to approve transmittal of Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 16-L04,

agreeing with Growth Services staff and disagreeing with the P&Z Commission recommendations, based on findings that the land use change will not adversely affect the public interest, is compatible with land uses in the surrounding area, is consistent with Chapter 163, Florida Statutes (FS) and the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. In response to Commissioner Zalak, Commissioner McClain stated the motion is for the entire parcel. " Commissioner Moore asked if the amendment is transmitted will the applicant have time to bring this in line with the items that are legally sustainable. Mr. Minter stated he is not sure the applicant will have the ability to do that, noting if transmitted, this is not the final hearing. He advised that the issue can be revisited at the final hearing. Commissioner ­Moore asked if changes can be made to bring this in line with the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Minter stated the applicant can attempt to do that, but is not sure by which they would bring it in line. Commissioner Zalak noted that even if this is transmitted it has not been assigned a land use at this point. He stated he did not necessarily have an issue with transmitting; however, the problem he has is without a real look at the boundary and the Farmland Preservation Area that was set he did not know how the Board can make that decision. Commissioner Zalak stated they need to look at that line and see if the line needs to be revisited, but is struggling with it being outside the line. He clarified that the acreage outside the boundary is of issue, noting this is straight zoning, not a PUD. Chairman Bryant advised that the motion is for transmittal to DEO for comments and is not an approval by the Board on the land use or the zoning. . The motion was unanimously approved by the Board (5-0).

The Board considered transmittal of the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 16-L03 by Floyd S. Salser III, SHS Properties (owner) I J. David Tillman, Tillman & Associates Engineering, LLC (applicant) from Rural and Medium Residential to Medium and High Density.

PLANNING &ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Motion made by Mr. Saju, seconded by, Mr. Gaekwad, to agree with staff's findings and recommendation, and recommend approval based on the following findings offact: 1. Will not adversely affect the public interest. 2. Is consistent with the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. 3. Is compatible with the surrounding land uses. The vote was 3 to 3, with Messrs. Thompson, Lord and Colen dissenting and Mr. Bailey abstaining. . Marion County Land Development Code Section 3.5.4.......Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) recommendation. c) In the event the Commission action results in a tie vote, the Commission may

deem its consideration of the amendment complete and the amendment shall proceed to tis subsequent consideration(s) without a formal recommendation.

Strategic Resources Project Manager Kevin Smith, Growth Services, advised that this is a dual application for a future land use change (Item 14B4) and rezoning (Item 14B5). He noted Tillman & Associates is the applicant and is representing SHS Properties. The request is for an increase in land use density on the FLUM and the associated zoning is for a mobile home park. Chairman Bryant asked staff to explain that the county is just looking to transmit the land use to DEO. Mr. Smith stated that is correct, noting this is the transmittal hearing for the land use application. He referred to the aerial photo, noting the subject site is located east of Belleview on East Highway 25 and contains approximately 74 acres on property that has been and continues to be used for a sand mine operation. The request is to go from Medium Residential and Rural Land to Medium and High Density Residential. The medium density portion of the request is for 41 acres and the high density request is for 33.7 acres as indicated on the map included in the agenda packet. The current land use map shows medium residential on a portion of the property, approximately 15 acres, is located within the UGB and the balance of the property is designated as rural land. Mr. Smith commented on the photos in the agenda packet of the mine area, East Highway 25 frontage and the greenhouse area. He addressed the Staff Analysis, which indicates that this area has beenthe subject of a Special Use Permit in 2006 and 2012 for the sand' mine operation. The subject site is not located in a flood-plain or environmentally sensitive overlay zone (ESOZ). The proposed request can result in a maximum density of 463 dwelling units. The project site is available for sewer & water service from Marion County Utilities (MCU). The traffic impact along Highway 25 will need to be assessed through the. normal review process. If this application is approved and developed it will reclaim the previously disturbed landscape that was used for a sand mine operation. Mr. Smith advised that the P&Z Commission resulted in a tie vote and came forward with no recommendation. Several impacts and concerns were mentioned including environmental impacts, land use density, reclamation process of the mining area and compliance of the already approved Special Use Permits. Staff is recommending denial of the land use amendment for transmittal to DEO. He advised that when the zoning application is reviewed the request will be for a PUD.

Commissioner Moore noted several maps are included in the agenda packet and asked if anything in the immediate area has mobile homes or a similar mobile home park. Mr. Smith noted a mobile home park, with a similar density, is located approximately 1 mile to the east of this property along Smith Lake. Chairman Bryant noted mobile homes are also located around the existing property. Mr. Smith stated that is correct. Commissioner Zalak questioned staffs last comment Mr. Smith stated staff recommendation for the rezoning will not be for straight zoning for a mobile home park, but rather a PUD. Commissioner Zalak noted Mr. Smith advised that staff recommended denial. Mr. Smith apologized and clarified that staff recommendation is to transmit to OED. Commissioner Zalak clarified that staff recommendation is to approve transmittal

'and come back as a' PUD. Mr. Smith concurred. David Tillman, Tillman & Associates Engineering, SE 16th Avenue, applicant, was present and noted the property is currently a sand mine where a lot of the buffers are established. He advised that most of the homes in the area are mobile homes: however, there are a couple that are non-manufactured. Mr. Tillman pointed out the area that is a junk yard and stated the area is not entirely pristine. He opined that the request is 'a higher and better use of the property as it will be a quality age-restricted mobile home park with amenities. Mr. Tillman noted he has no big objection to the PUD, which will allow them to work through the amenities that need to be in place and types of buffers for this density. ' He stated this type of use is very well suited for the region, noting a nice age-restricted mobile home park is located about 1 mile away from the proposed site. Significant berms of about 25-feet in height already' exist on this portion of the property and are slated to be put in if the portion on the other side is mined. Mr. Tillman commented on the difficulty of putting in a berm due to the considerable change in elevation betWeen the .subject site and Mr. Ballard; however, there will be some separation between the development and the neighbor. ' Commissioner Zalak asked if the change in elevations will be shown if this comes back as a PUD. Mr. Tillman stated the intent will be to reclaim the mine, noting the requirement of the BCC is at a higher standard than FDEP. He advised that the mine was not permitted under FDEP; the northern portion was grandfathered in and the remaining portion is permitted through a Special Use Permit. The reason this was done through the water management district (WMD) instead of getting an industrial wastewater permit from FDEP is because with limerock you are always going into the water and if you are not cleaning, washing arid sorting then it is not considered as having an industrial wastewater impact and therefore, does not have to be permitted through FDEP, but hasto be permitted through the WMD for the earth removal. Chairman Bryant opened the floor to public comment. Floyd Ballard, East Highway 25, Belleview, noted the subject site is located immediately to his west for 584 feet, 610 to the south and approximately 2,000 feet down the road for which he has title. He advised that his concern is not with, the mobile home park, but rather the mine. Mr. Ballard commented on nearby mines not meetfng requirements and stated he has no, problem if the mined area is reclaimed. He presented 10 (5x7) photographs, noting the For Sale sign on the subject property. ' Dennis Sanford, East Highway 25, Belleview, commented on the problems with the mine since it was owned by Mr. Counts. He stated the property has not been reclaimed and noted he is opposed to this because nothing has been laid out as to how they are going to put what on this property. Chairman Bryaht clarified that the applicant is asking for a land use change and rezoning. She stated what is being addressed today is transmittal

to the State for comment as to the land use change, which has to come back for the zoning portion. The county will have the applicant go through a PUD process to determine what exactly will go on the property, which will take place in a public forum so that everyone knows what will occur. In response to Mr. Sanford, Chairman Bryant stated the county will receive comments from DEO within 45 days and will be heard at the July 19, 2016 zoning meeting. Mr. Sanford advised that his biggest problem with the proposal is with the road that goes parallel to his property as it is not appropriate for heavy trucks, noting there is another road that can be used for access. He stated mobile homes are not needed in the area as there are already enough mobile home parks in the area. Dustin Counts, East Highway 25, Belleview, advised that he also owns properties with his 2 brothers (Daniel J. Counts and David J. Counts, III), father (David J. Counts, Sr.) and is also speaking on behalf of his mother, Diane Counts. He stated his family will provide Affidavits that he is speaking on their behalf, if necessary. Mr. Counts stated they are opposed to the mobile home park as there are mobile homes/trailers in the area; however, it is not adensely populated park. He voiced concern with over 400 people living in a mobile home park" which is a lot of trailers and will drop property values. Mr. Counts noted they are already being chased out because of the 4-lane highway being constructed. He commented on affordable housing for retirees, which he opined does not have to come in the form of a mobile home park, Mr. Counts stated Smith Lake Village is located 1 mile' away and is not a pretty neighborhood. He stated people do not go to fish or swim as the lake is polluted. Mr. Counts requested the Board to deny the request. Phil Koneda, SE 121st Place, Summerfield, stated he has never heard of a PUD for a mobile home park. He noted the sand mine has to be remedied before it is abandoned. Mr. Koneda advised that the problem he has with the proposal is the density change from medium density (4 du/a) to high density (8 du/a), which is high for this area and spot zoning at its best in the middle of an area that is currently zoned rural or agricultural. He commented on market and demand and opined that the proposal does not meet the review criteria and should be denied. Mr. Koneda stated he has no objection for approval at a lower density that is compatible with what is in the Comprehensive Plan and is concerned with the future if this is allowed. . Chairman Bryant advised that public comment isnow closed. Commissioner Moore commented on 55+ mobile home communities and asked if the applicant's client will be open to a block home. Mr. Tillman stated they talked about a development similar to Big Lake Villages; a community that is well maintained, noting realistically, what it comes down to is management, which is the same for any type home. Mr. Tillman addressed comments made, .notinq the property located at SE 83rd Terrace is high density and the remainder is medium density. He stated they asked for high and medium density to where it came out close to 6 du/a, planned, as 8 du/a is higher than something that may be attained, which can potentially be lower when going through the PUD process. When the property is reclaimed, soils will be brought in that are not as high quality in regard to percolation as the sands that were removed and will require a larger stormwater pond than what would typically be seen with development with these types of soil. A chipping green, putting green or something similar will be incorporated into the desiqnof the stormwater pond and used as part of the amenities as well. Mr. Tillman addressed the comment about 6 of the 15 requirements not being met on the sand mine, noting there are no Code Enforcement violations against the sand mine. He

advised that staff re-inspected the subject site after the last P&Z Commission meeting and found no problems or issues.

. Mr. Tillman stated the property is up for sale and if someone else buys it the PUD will dictate how it is developed. Mr. Tillman advised-that the Special Use Permit for the sand mine encompasses all the property and the intent is to mine the entire parcel and reclaim it as another section is opened. He Clarified that the entire property is currently slated for a sand mine. Mr. Tillman stated they will come back on Tuesday, July 19, 2016 to talk about the PUD. He addressed the use of heavy trucks and opined that the Special Use Permit will also be coming back before the Board, at which time they-can potentially deal with any truck traffic going in and out of that driveway with regard to the other driveway and limit it to the location. Mr. Tillman advised that Mr. Counts is currently separated from the subject site with a 25­foot berm 'and the intention is to leave that berm in place, which' is a considerable separation. He stated 6 units per acre is feasible and will work with the design in the future on the PUD. . In response to Commissioner Arnett, Mr. Tillman stated if you want to bring the people then you have to be better than what is right down the road. Commissioner Zalak opined that to the citizen's points, by allowing this to move forward at least at this point is exactly what will be- good for the neighbors. Motivating someone to reclaim the project and do something constructive, as there is not a financial motivation to finish the mining, reclaim it, make it look nice and develop something of quality. He . stated going through this process and coming back with a PUD is appropriate. ' A motion: was made by Commissioner Zalak, seconded by Commissioner Arnett, to approve transmittal of Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 16-L03', agreeing with Growth Services staff recommendation,. based on findings that the land use change will not adversely affect the public interest, is compatible with land uses in the surrounding area, is consistent with Chapter 163, Florida Statutes (FS) and the Marion County Comprehensive Plan.

1486. 16-L02 - Harvey Vandeven, Low Density Residential to High Density Residential, 39 Acres . The Board considered transmittal of Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 16-l02 by Harvey Vandeven/Ag Properties of Marion, LLC (owner) / J. David Tillman, Tillman & Associates Engineering, LLC (applicant) from Low Residential to High Residential.

PERCENT WRITTEN OPPOSITION WITHIN 300 FEET: 5 of 31 =16%. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Motion made by Mr. Lord, seconded by Mr. Lourenco, to disagree with staff's findings and recommendation, and recommend denial based on the following 'findings of fact: 1. Will adversely affect the public interest. 2. Is not consistent with the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. 3. Is not compatible with the surrounding land uses .

. The vote was.4 to 2, with "Messrs. Saju and Gaekwad dissenting andMr, Bailey abstaining.

Growth Services Director Martsolf advised that the last 2 items are a combination of a large scale comprehensive plan amendment (Item14B6) and re-zoning application (Item 14B7). The Plan Amendment will be decided as to whether or not to transmit and will come back at the July meeting to discuss the specific zoning request. The land use request is to go from Low Density Residential (1 du/a) to High Density Residential (8 du/a) , on 39 acres located off Juniper Road next to the Legacy Elementary School and just north of the Belleview city limits and north of the Summercrest subdivision off SE 92nd Place Road. The zoning change request is from A-1 to R-3 and will support the land use that allows the 8 du/a, Staff is not as firm with the recommendation for a PUD, necessarily; however, there are some issues that definitely warrant discussion and being dealt with through a Developer's Agreement or the PUD process. This project is wholly within the UGB and the Primary Springs Protection Zone (PSPZ). The current land use will support 39 units and with the current zoning will support 3 units (1 du/10a) for the A-1 zoning. The conforming zoning with the current land use would be R-E, which allows 1 du/a, for 39 units. The requesting high density of 8 du/a will result in a maximum of 312 units. Water & sewer is available from Belleview at Legacy Elementary and has capacity. School capacity is also available, as the maximum units allowed of 312 calculates to create 50 additional students. Mr. Martsolf noted one of the main issues staff has wrestled with is in regard to access, which is currently through a shared easement with the road marked as "bus loop" that' goes back 300 feet deep. He commented on the shared access to the subject property, which is not ideal in that it is shared with the school and the sight distance at the intersection. Mr. Martsolf advised that this was discussed with the owner and staff looks for this to come back with an alternative to include access out to Chestnut Road. He noted other options are available that staff would like to see settled at the zoning stage.

Mr. Martsolf noted the last issue discussed was the environmental issues, which is in the PSPZ where some relic sinkholes are seen; one in the eastern portion of the property and, a karst feature on the western portion of the subject site. He advised that Mr. Tillman indicated they are aware of that and look to appropriately buffer and preserve as much of that as possible to protect that feature. ­Growth Services Department staff recommends transmittal and approval of the zoning to 'at least have any issues addressed by a Developer's Agreement; forpotentially the height .and anything of questions, or staff will look for a PUD zoning to address issues. It was noted that the P&Z Commission recommends denial. David Tillman, Tillman & Associates Engineering, SE 16th Avenue, applicant, was present and noted that staff hinted they may be sugg~sting PUD on some of these projects. He presented an 11x17 drawing of the Chestnut Hill Community. The land use requesting has a density of 8 du/a, which equates to 320 unit. A layout was prepared, but does not reach the 320 maximum units. The reason for asking for the high density was because they wanted to do attached multi-family housing, which that land use allows. The density will probably be approximately 3du/a. Mr. Tillman stated the Board will hear testimony of karst sensitive features on the back portion of this property, which they are not planning on developing. He advised that they also met with Mickey Thomason, Office of Greenway & Trails, FDEP, because at one point in time the potential of the Marjorie Harris Carr Greenway & Trail to connect through this section was brought up, noting an .ernaf was providedto staff from Mr. Thomason stating they were not interested in this property at this time. Mr. Tillman stated the property was preserved for twofold: 1) if DEP has an

- interest, it is already set aside; and 2) they want to stay away from any potential karst, problems that may exist within that region. Mr. Tillman advised that the access,point was agreed to on SE 85th Lane; shown as "Bus Loop" on the map, but agreed with staff that it should be the secondary/emergency access and will move forward with trying to acquire rights-of-way (ROW) to make the connection to Juniper Road, right across from Juniper Pass, as it will makea better connection. He opined that single family housing is not something that will work in the close proximity to the school and be sellable. Mr. Tillman stated the rental market-will work here and is well suited for the area. The land use and zonings lnthe area are urban residential, which is 16 du/a and high density residential is adjacenUo the subject site. Heantlclpates rezoning to a PUDwith this property as well. Mr. Tillman commented on theentryway at Chestnut as mentioned by Mr. Martsolf earlier, are the same style unlts they are proposing to develop on this property. He stated there will be no major impact to anyone: " Chairman Bryant opened the floor to public comment. Curtis Chappelka, SE 84th Lane Road, owner of Paradise Springs, commented on the history of the springs that has been in operation for over 30 years and is located next to the subject property. He expressed his concern with water 'flows coming into Paradise

, Springs from the north side (adjacent property) and effecting the water in the spring. Mr. .Chappelka advised that people from all over the world come to dive in the spring, which is rated in the top 10 springs in Florida. He noted his concern with the request having an adverse effect on his business. Mr. Chappelka commented on unstable ground near the school. COmmissioner Zalak asked if the spring was impacted when the' school was built. Mr. Chappelka stated construction of the school was kept closer to Juniper Road and had no impact on the spring.

Jim Fallon, SE 84th Lane Road, commented on the 2 minute time limit for public comment. He presented a 2 page petition in opposition to the proposal and addresses their concerns. Polly Boileau, SEJuniper Road, noted her property abuts the subject property on the west where she raises livestock. She commented on nearby empty lots zoned for single family or multifamily dwellings rather than changing the zoning from Agriculture. Ms. Boileau advised that she attended the P&Z Commission meeting, noting their recommendation was for denial. She questioned why this would go to the state for a PUD zoning and requested the Board to deny the request. Larry Yonge, Juniper Road, stated the request should be denied for several reasons, noting there are over 300 parcels in the immediate area where the vast majority is undeveloped, so there is no need for additional R-3 zoned properties. Commissioner Moore out at 5:53 p.m. . The second concern is related to the impact on traffic and lastly, the agricultural land provides a nice barrier between the Shores land and R-3 land, as well as the R-1 properties and the Greenway. This proposal puts a large encroachment into the A-1 area landowners who purchased the property for that characteristic that will be lost with this rezoning. He asked that the Board deny the change. Commissioner Moore returned at 5:55 p.rn, Cindy Yonge, Juniper Road, commented on her contact with staff, the Zoning Commission meeting and the Comprehensive Plan. She requested the Board deny the request. Cathy Priest, SE 79th Street, stated most of what she had to say has already been addressed, noting west of Juniper is rural. She commented on traffic, rioise and crime. Darlene Weesner, SW80th Street, commented on the gap in the Greenway,. which is entirely too dense and will create tremendous traffic. problems. She noted the work she has put into the Santos. Gap. In response to Chairman Bryant, Ms. Weesner advised that she is not objecting as much as she is trying to warn the county about the impact of this change .. She asked the Board to consider buying this property asltwill be a tremendous asset to the county. Ms. Weesner opined that this parcel is crucial to the success 'of the Greenway, noting the state wants to go on the other side.of 80th Street, which is not as feasible because there are more homes, smaller acreages and does not have the trails separated. She commented on the uniqueness of the Greenway Trail. Dominic Ferrelli, Chestnut Drive, commented on traffic, the impact on the roads, soil and how this development will affect the water supply. He stated he is opposed to this request, noting there is no need for additional housing in the area. Bill Muller, Fir Trail Drive, Silver Springs Shores, expressed his opposition to the proposed changes. . Jimmy Carrell, SW 85th Terrace, advised that he was glad to hear the comments by Mr. Tillman as it answered many questions. He commented on planning of the property, noting the drainage/runoff from the property can be managed sufficiently so that it does not degrade the quality of the water currently in Paradise Springs. Mr.Carrell presented a 2 page document (1 page of comments and 1 8x10 black & white photo) and noted karst features can be seen in the photograph. He stated the geotechnical study that will be conducted during the development process should assess those existing karst features and provide an analysis as how they may affect the development potential of the property as well as runoff into the springshed area for Paradise Springs. Mr. Carrell addressed traffic and stated the proposal to use Chestnut Road would provide a direct

connection to Baseline Road, which should be pursued when development planning occurs. He commented on the compatibility with land uses, noting he is neither for nor against the development per say; however, the density should, remain at low density residential'. Cathy Keck, Juniper Road, stated there is no ingress/egress to the subject property. She expressed her opposition to the proposal. Michelle Shearer, SE 85th Street, President of the Shady Greenway Conservation Alliance, and Vice President of the Shady Historic' and Scenic Trails Association (SHASTA), voiced her opposition mainly dueto the springs, which needs to be protected. Chairman Bryant advised ,that public comment is now closed: In response to Mr. Chappelka, Mr. Tillman noted he is addressing the drainage adjacent to the area, noting there is- special criteria in the land development code (LDC) for karst sensitive areas of this nature. He stated the layout shows that they are sensitive to the fact that there is a spring here and is aware there will need to be additional criteria for water quality treatment, which will 'be taken into account: Mr. Tillman referred to the comment made that the school was turned down due to it being. ­

unstable, pursuantto public record. He stated a geotechnical firm conducted a study using ground penetrating radar over property the school was considering. The Study came back and stated there were potential anomalies throughout that property. The newspaper got a copy of the report and made the comment that it was riddled with sinkholes, which was inaccurate. The Soils Report stated that it was anomalies. Mr. Tillman advised that he spoke with Mr. Heath of GeoTech and asked what was found on the property when he went back and looked at all of the anomalies, noting no sinkholes were found. The fact that the property was riddled with sinkholes and the School Board turned it down for that reason is not true as a geotechnical engineer followed up' and found the property suitable to build on and obviously the school was built. He stated they are looking to build single story buildings with shallow foundations, typically 3-feet or less. Mr. Tillman addressed the road capacity for approximately 120 odd units (3 du/a). He noted the property is wholly within the UGB and is suitable for this type of growth. The exact land -use is adjacent to the subject site and the elementary school is directly adjacent, with a connected shared roadway at this point in time. Mr. Tillman addressed comments made in regard to the Greenway, which is a linear park,_ but is something that is pristine and very important to be protected. He stated them being adjacent to the Greenway is not an impact, as the idea is to bring people to parks so they get used. Trails are being widened and paved trails are being added to bring people to the park. Mr. Tillman stated the proposal is not an impact that will degradate the integrity of the Greenway in any way.. Mr. Tillman noted the developments in Silver Springs Shores are on well and septic; however, they will be connecting to water and sewer, which limits any potential pollution from septic tanks. Mr. Tillman referred to the comment to make the connection for pedestrians to the school, which they will certainly look at when going to final design. He stated the property is wholly within the UGB and the 'adjacent uses next to it will not work for single family residences, noting this is a use that makes sense. Some of the buffering is addressed by the layout

. provided and will be further addressed at the PUD process. Commissioner Moore commented on the MSTU for roads and asked if there will be any cost sharing that the developer will have to enter into. Mr. Tillman stated he is sure they

will have to enter into that if the development connects and uses that roadway system. Commissioner Zalak noted the development would become part of the MSTU. Commissioner Zalak addressed his concerns, noting the drainage retention area (ORA) may be an enhanced treatment facility from a water quality standpoint may be necessary when looking at it from a PUD process. He voiced his 'concern with dumping traffic out onto Juniper Road is better than using the current access and whether it will cause congestion. Mr. Tillman stated the bus loop location shown on the map is not where the majority of parents go to drop-off children, which is down the road and is not shown on the map. He advised that he .likes the layout of making the connection at the 'T' intersection across the road at Juniper, which does increase the potential for conflicts at what is labeled SE 85th Street. Mr. Tillman stated SE 85th Street would work just as well, but a stop condition would have to be put in for cars. to maneuver the intersection. Commissioner Zalak noted there are still some things that need to be worked out, but will make a motion to transmit. A motion was made by Commissioner Zalak, seconded by Commissioner Arnett, to transmit Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 16-L02, agreeing with Growth Services staff and disagreeing with the P&Z Commission recommendations, .based on findings that the land use change will not adversely affect the public interest, is compatible with land uses in the surrounding area, is consistent with Chapter 163, Florida Statutes (FS) and the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. Chairman Bryant reiterated some of the concerns Commissioner Zalak has, noting she also has some of the same concerns. The motion was unanimously approved by the Board (4-0).
