PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

 

·         Ms. Gloria Gentry, Tomoka Estates, said she does not want to be annexed into the City of Ormond Beach.

 

Ms. Mary Anne Connors said Shockey Drive is served by wells and septic systems.  The City of Ormond Beach has utility lines in the area and would like to provide utilities but would like the customers to annex into the City.  The neighborhood will have to decide, some neighbors do want the service.

 

Council Member Jaynes said it appears about 50 percent of the Tomoka Estates residents are in favor of annexation and about 50 percent are opposed to annexation into the City of Ormond Beach.

 

 

·         Mr. Elliot Gross, speaking about Plantation Oaks, said the City of Port Orange placed a moratorium on manufactured housing within city limits and suggested the County should consider taking the same action.

 

Council Member Jaynes said according to the original Planned Unit Development (PUD) agreement, National Gardens is requesting a reduction in density but is proposing manufactured homes, which constitutes a substantial deviation from the original agreement.

 

 

 


·         Ms. Sue Burns said she is opposed to the City of Port Orange placing sewer lines in Wilbur by the Sea and asked to be placed on the County Council agenda.  She said she understands the County has no rights with regard to annexation and that the City is claiming they would not force annexation.  She said the City of South Daytona has proposed annexation.  Wilbur by the Sea is a unique community and does not want to be annexed into either city. 

 

Ms. Melanie Eddington said she is a member of the South Peninsula Municipal Service District Advisory Board and at its last meeting, there was a unanimous vote against allowing the City of Port Orange to install sewers lines in Wilbur by the Sea and Daytona Beach Shores.  She asked the Council place this issue on its agenda as soon as possible.

 

Ms. Margaret Smith said she lives in Wilbur by the Sea and does not want a sewer system installed, she is happy with the current septic systems. 

 

Staff advised the City of Daytona Beach Shores submitted right of way use permit and Growth Management staff as well as Public Works staff is reviewing it.  However, the City of Port Orange has submitted plans. 

 

Council Member Ward said the City of Port Orange has never involuntarily annexed people into the City.  He explained the legislation passed last year cleared up pockets and enclaves that were in County limits but surrounded by the City.

 

Council Member John requested an informative agenda item regarding this issue.

 

Council Member Bruno said the City of Daytona Beach Shores has made a commitment to residents that are interested in sewer lines and he does not believe the County has the right to stop this development. 

 

 

·         Mr. Robert Monyak provided a video regarding fugitive dust and other code violations at Salem Trucking. 

 

Ms. Cynthia Bonilla said the glue substance Salem Trucking has been applying is not working and fugitive dust is still a problem. 

 

Ms. Coto said code enforcement staff did not find any code violations.  Staff has gone to the site to recheck and will advise Council of the results.

 

 

 

CALL TO ORDER

Chair Ann McFall called the September 5, 2002, Regular Session of the Volusia County Council to order at 9:00 a.m. in the County Council Chambers, Thomas C. Kelly Administration Center, 123 West Indiana Avenue, DeLand, Volusia County, Florida

INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

By Pastor Vince Cuda, My Refuge Christian Center

 

FLOOD REPORT

Staff Contact:  Jonas Stewart, 239-6516

 

Ms. Mary Anne Connors, Director of the Public Works Department, said Tropical Storm Eduardo did not impact Volusia County as expected. 

 

Covington Estates is a development in the flood plain and the flood plain is taking its natural course, impacting this subdivision.  The lake is filling in around these homes.  The pump system is being overwhelmed.  Staff is working to maintain the road system.  The long-term residents have seen this trend in the past. 

 

In Deltona the weir system has been used and Lake Mitnik and Lake Diane are full.  There is water between some of the homes on Stone Island.  The trend is downward but these areas cannot handle any more rain.  The City of Deltona has begun pumping into Section 16 to alleviate the flooding issue on Beachdale Road. 

 

Ms. Coto said she expects a signed agreement from the City of Deltona today regarding the pumping into Section 16. 

 

Discussion ensued.

 

 

 

MOSQUITO REPORT

Staff Contact:  Jonas Stewart, 239-6516

 

Mr. Jonas Stewart, Director of the Mosquito Control Division, said there have been 670 human cases of West Nile virus to date nationwide, including 32 deaths this year.  The majority of cases occurred in August and more are expected in September.  A donor recipient in Miami-Dade contracted West Nile.  Blood transfusions could also transmit the virus.  The State is cautioning hunters to protect themselves against possible contaminated blood. 

 

Eleven of Florida’s counties are under medical alert for the West Nile virus.  Florida has only two human cases with a median age of 51 years old.  Birds and horses are being infected with the West Nile virus; there have been 17 cases in Volusia County.  Staff has been finding more mosquitoes are carrying the virus.  The number of mosquitoes in Deltona has increased but the mosquitoes are not necessarily carrying the virus.  Staff has been and will continue to spray throughout the County.  Staff is receiving service requests from all over the County.  Surrounding counties in Central Florida report the same conditions as Volusia County.  Staff has applied for a grant through the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in the amount of $30,000, which would help offset surveillance costs.

Item 3

Request for approval for support of the “Birthplace of Speed” Centennial Celebration on March 27 and 28, 2003, through closure of the beach to vehicular access from the Seminole Avenue Approach to 1,000 yards south of the Granada Approach on both days.  Request for approval of co-sponsorship of the event by waiving event fees not including personnel costs.     [$1,335.00]

Staff Contact:  Kevin Sweat, Extension 6280, 31                                              File No. VC-1029871774656

Mr. Kevin Sweat, Beach Operations Chief, said the proposed event would start 1,000 feet south of the Granada Boulevard beach approach, rather than 1,000 yards as stated in the agenda item, and continue south to the Seminole Avenue beach approach.  The Seminole Avenue beach approach could remain open for southbound traffic.  Staff does not have a recommendation regarding this request.

 

Council Member Northey asked what kind of return the County would receive for its sponsorship.

 

Ms. Suzanne Heddy, Cultural Council, said there would be banners listing the County as a sponsor and the program would acknowledge the County as a sponsor. 

 

Chair McFall asked if the Motor Racing Heritage Association is requesting a waiver of the $35 processing fee as well as the $1,300 event fee. 

 

Mr. Sweat said the Motor Racing Heritage Association is requesting a waiver of the $35 processing fee, the $1,300 event fee and waiver of beach tolls for the 75 cars that are related to the event.  Spectator tolls might increase the tolls usually collected. 

 

Council Member Lewis said the “Birthplace of Speed” sounds like a great event and the County should support it.

 

Mr. Don Bostrom, Ormond Beach Historical Trust, spoke in favor of the event. 

 

Council Member Jaynes moved for APPROVAL as requested and after Council Member Northey seconded the motion it CARRIED 7 to 0.

 

 

 

 

Item 4

Request for adoption of Ordinance No. 2002-16, relating to licensing of dogs and cats by providing for the county-wide payment of licensing fees and limitations on the use of licensing fees.

Staff Contact:  L. Roland Blossom, 736-5920, Extension 2952                                              LEG-2002-014

 

Mr. Terry Moore, Director of Public Protection, provided a staff-report and said the program is well founded.

 

Mr. Rolland Blossom, Assistant County Attorney, said based on staff’s projections it would take participation from 90 percent of the cities to make this program work.  If the cities do not adopt the program, this ordinance will not take effect as written and the ordinance will only take effect when 90 percent of Volusia County’s cities have agreed to the ordinance.

 

Ms. Judith Milcarski, Veterinarian; Mr. Jeff Cooper, Veterinarian; Mr. Justin Rogers; and Ms. Sandra Maroney; spoke in opposition to the ordinance. 

 

Ms. Kathleen Bartos, Veterinarian; Ms. Judy Molinaro, Concerned Citizens for Animal Welfare; Ms. Pat Mihalic, Concerned Citizens for Animal Welfare; Ms. Anita Schwartz, Spay And Neuter Innocent Pets; Ms. Joyce Silvernail; Ms. Cheryl Robel and Ms. Diane Voight, Concerned Citizens For Animal Welfare spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance.

 

Ms. Salli W. Moore, Chair of the Volusia County Animal Control Board, provided a history of the program.  Veterinarians are business people and provide a valuable service.  The rebate program helps veterinarians because it provides funding for people who might not otherwise be able to afford spay and neutering services.  Veterinarians do not have to participate in the program.  Providing a low-cost spay clinic, would remove business from veterinarians in the County but the rebate program assures the spay/neuter business will remain with veterinarians.  Ms. Moore said she supports the proposed ordinance.

 

Discussion ensued, as well a question and answer session.

 

This being the date for public hearing, and based on staff's recommendation, Council Member Northey moved to ADOPT Ordinance No. 2002-16, as presented, entitled as follows and on file in its entirety with the records of the County Council, said motion seconded by Council Member Jaynes and duly ADOPTED 6 to 1, with Council Member Lewis dissenting.

Staff Contact:  Matthew Guy Minter, Extension 5950                                                            LEG-2002-013

 

Mr. Guy Minter, Deputy County Attorney, said the issue before Council today is a combined public hearing for a settlement agreement and a Special Exception.  The hearing was properly noticed.  Mr. Minter provided a staff-report explaining there is currently a case on the trial docket in Federal court regarding the denial of this Special Exception.  The case will move forward if the Special Exception is not approved.  Negotiations have resulted in three additional conditions, which would address the concerns of the neighbors.  If the case does move forward in Federal court, the three additional conditions would not be included.

 

Mr. Erik Stanley, Attorney for Dunamis Community and Outreach Ministries, Inc., asked Council to approve the settlement and approve the Special Exception with the additional conditions. 

 

Reverend John A. Ferro said the members of Dunamis Community and Outreach Ministries, Inc., believe they will be good neighbors to the surrounding area and shall submit to the authority of local government. 

 

Ms. Susan Resnick, Corporate Secretary of the Spiritualist Community, read a letter into the record requesting that Council approve the Special Exception including the three additional conditions.  Mr. Nick Sourrant agreed.

Council Member Jaynes moved for APPROVAL and Council Member Bruno seconded the motion.

 

Council Member Northey said this is a zoning issue along a scenic route and she takes issue with the applicant involving State and Federal government.

 

Council Member Ward said this was not and is not a religious issue and it is unfortunate the applicant chose to make it a religious issue.  However, it is in the best interest of taxpayers for Council to approve the Special Exception request.

 

The motion CARRIED 7 to 0.
