residential lots on approximately 23.07 acres located on the east side of Coffee Trail approximately 1700 ft north of Lake Geneva Road. The subject property has an A5 rural zoning designation and a future land use
designation of rule five, which allows a density of one dwelling unit per five net buildable acres. The four newly created lots meet the minimum lot size of 5 acres with a minimum lot width at building line of 150 ft.
The development does not have direct access onto Lake Geneva Drive. Therefore, access will be via a private 40 foot private access easement known as coffee trail. Subject property is located within the rural boundary of Simol County and each
newly created lot will utilize a well and septic system. The PSP complies with chapter 35 of the Simol County Land Development Code. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary subdivision plan for the writer reserve subdivision. And that concludes my presentation.

David German presenting. Good afternoon. David German, senior planner development services. This afternoon, I'm presenting a proposed text amendment to the seminal county comprehensive plan. It will amend
the introduction, transportation, public school facilities, intergovernmental coordination, and capital improvement elements in the capital improvements exhibit. This will implement the 2021 school interlocal agreement for public school
facility planning and school concurrency, expand options for transportation services, and to provide a definition for microransit. The 2021 schools interlocal agreement was formally adopted on December 9th, 2024 with the deadline to adopt the
updated language into the comprehensive plan by October 9th, 2025. These updates include new language for definitions, updated level of service and facility standards, and adoption of the school board's 5-year capital improvement plan into the county's
capital improvement element. This was done by reference to the school district's budget book, which houses their capital improvement plan. The amendments to the comprehensive plan related to the school ILA are intended to create consistency and be compliant
with the agreement. >> Uh David, could I just interrupt you real quick on that? Um Na Borer, Deputy County Attorney for the Record, I just want to state for the record um give a little bit of an explanation as to why it's the 2021 school currency agreement.
This agreement was signed by the county. the school district in all cities except for the city of Winter Springs. The city of Winter Springs executed the agreement on December 9th, 2024. And so that is when the effective date
of the agreement when the agreement actually went into effect. And so the county had in the agreement has a time period for which we can do these comprehensive plan amendments. We also had a little bit of a holdup because we were waiting for the school district to
provide their um updated CIE um that we so that we could integrate that into our comprehensive plan. So we are on schedule. We're going we're looking to meet or get very close to the deadline. We'll transmit before the
October deadline, but we may not get it back until after. Depends how long the state takes. Um, but that's why the it's a 2021 plan. It wasn't something that we sat on it. We didn't we were just waiting for it to be fully executed so we can implement it.
>> Thank you. >> The other updates in this amendment are due to the expansion of the transportation system in Semino County. Scout is a new microtransit system which will require the comprehensive plan to incorporate new language and definitions. This includes a definition
of microtransit in the introduction element and language to specify the funding sources in the transportation element. These changes are consistent with the plan that the county has voted to implement for the new microtransit system and its funding. At the August
11th, 2025 board meeting, the board of county commissioners voted to enact a 5-cent fuel tax, which will be incorporated into the comprehensive plan. Adopting the proposed updates by January 1st, 2026 will make Scout
eligible for funding by the fuel tax. The amendments to the comprehensive plan will require transmitt to the state for review and will also need to be reviewed by the board of county commissioners. Staff is requesting that the planning and zoning commission recommend the board of county commissioners approve
transmitt of the proposed ordinance amending the seminal county comprehensive plan by revising the introduction transportation public school facilities intergovernmental coordination and capital improvement
elements to implement the 2021 school interlocal agreement. expand options for transit services and provide a definition for microransit. Thank you. That concludes my presentation. >> Appreciate it. Uh board, do we have any
questions? >> All right. Seeing none. All right. Is there um anybody from the audience that wanted to speak on this matter? Also seeing none. All right. Um, I'm going to open up for board discussion or motions.
>> No discussion here. I'm ready to make a motion. There's no discussion. >> I'd like to make a motion. I'd like to recommend that the board of county commissioners approve transmitt of the proposed ordinance amending the seminal county comprehensive plan by revising the introduction transportation public
school facilities intergovernmental coordination and capital improvement elements to implement the 2021 school interlocal agreement expand options for transit services and provide a definition for microtransit. >> I'll second that.
>> All right, I have a first and a second. Um all those in favor? I. >> Any opposed? Hearing? None. Motion passes. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right. So, >> I could have left all that stuff in the office. >> Going to go ahead and close the public
hearing part of our meeting tonight. Um, closing business, director's report. Um, staff, anything to report tonight? >> No, sir. >> Hearing none. Does anybody else have anything to discuss the board? All right. See? None. Meeting adjourned.
