He reviewed the situation regarding the removal of the $2,285,000 funding for capital projects ($1,000,000 for lobby renovations and $1,285,000 for additional functions throughout CDES). The proposal before the BCC now is for only the $1,285,000 to be re-instated and approved for the renovations already in progress. Purchase Orders will be re-issued so that bills contracted for can be paid. The $1 million for the lobby renovations, deferred at this time, will come before DSAC at a later date. ($500,000 for the lobby had been recommended by DSAC in June, 2006) Discussion followed on where payments for penalties and charges would come from. It was determined that this issue would have to be taken to the BCC as a separate issue. 2 December 6, 2006 However, Committee members were of one mind that these payments should come from the General Fund. William Varian had been requested to have a letter from CBIA read into the record of the meeting. The letter was in regard to CBIA's request for involvement in the permitting and inspection process plans for improvement to services and facilities. Reed Jarvi arrived at 4:00PM. Members briefly discussed the fact that DSAC is the only reviewer responsible for items that come before it. However, CBIA would be welcome to attend and participate at its meetings. If appropriate, an ad hoc committee could be utilized to address specific issues. Joe Schmitt explained the purpose of the lobby renovations were to streamline the process for ease of public use. The three main objectives in this endeavor were: 1. Set up an information kiosk to direct citizens to proper departments 2. Expedite single trade permits using a technical reviewer 3. Provide separate ownerlbuilder consulting services George Hermanson moved to recommended support for the Executive Summary, since funding had been previously approved at the June meeting. Seconded by Dalas Disney and carried 10-0 with 1 abstention. Mr.Varian abstained, due to the fact that he is an involved contractor. B. Nick Casalanguida first introduced Micky Sudut, Planning Technician, who had worked on this particular portion of the GMP Amendment. He then provided an informative discussion on the Growth Management Plan (GMP) Amendment for Preservation of Right of Way (ROW). David Dunnavant arrived at 4: 1 0 PM. Copies were handed out of a portion of Florida Statute, Chapter 337 section 273 (Transportation Corridors) and Florida Statute, 163, chapter 3202 (Land development regulations) as well as the revisions to the GMP, Objective 3 Policy 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8. The goal is to provide mechanism for future ROW planning and acquisition procedures, through a series of steps that will require changes/amendments to some ordinances, long range plan and new set-back lines. Where knowledge of future corridors and intersections are known, plans for set-backs, allowances for impact fee credits, and interim uses can be addressed rather than face future eminent domain takings for ROW uses, when cost will be higher. As new corridors are defined, that would go to BCC for adoption and new setback lines for that corridor would take affect. Benefits to developers were discussed. 3 December 6, 2006 Questions and lengthy discussion followed on: . modifying preserves and/or mitigate for off-site if developer can not do it on-site . need for new ordinance where ROW interferes with preserves . impact fee credits for donations . vanances . inverse condemnation, reduction of use/value . ahead of time purchases, legal ramifications . need for amending long range plan . and effect on other portions of code Members were encouraged to review information and contact staff with any further questions.
