Development Services, (386) 878-8602.
Strategic Goal: Economic Development: Work with existing businesses to
expand/grow.
City Manager Shang stated this item has to do with RaceTrac and is a continuation from the
last City Commission Meeting where the developer had asked the Commission to
postpone this item due to some changes to the entrance way to Deltona Blvd.
Planning and Development Services Assistance Director Ron Paradise stated one (1)

City Commission Minutes March 7, 2016
footnote to that is a housekeeping measure where staff is suggesting two (2) changes in the
development agreement; 1) is to fix a typo that appears on Page 3 of 18 that changes Map
Book 48 to Map Book 45 and 2) is to add a sentence to the transportation section
"Transportation Site Access Traffic Devices" which essentially recognizes that the most
recently approved site plan by the Development Review Committee (DRC) last week will
govern or manage the on-site access.
Commissioner Soukup stated he had brought up to Ms. Shang today that the big star on the
site plan is not where the RaceTrac is going to be and City Manager Shang replied staff
has the plans and we know the location.
Commissioner Honaker asked if following the DRC would negatively affect RaceTrac and
Mr. Paradise replied "no" it is a pretty perfunctory conditional approval.
There were no other questions or comments.
B. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 03-2016, to update Chapter 68, Water,
Wastewater and Utilities, at first reading and to schedule second reading
for March 21, 2016 - Becky Vose, Legal Department, (407) 448-0111.
Strategic Goal: City infrastructure improvements and related funding.
City Manager Shang stated this item has to do with updating Water and Wastewater
Utilities, Chapter 68, regulating utility fees and it is mostly clerical changes in the ordinance .
She stated the Commission already approved the increase in the fees last November.
There were no comments or questions.
C. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 15-2016, updating Water and Wastewater
Impact Fees, at first reading and to schedule second reading for March 21,
2016 - Becky Vose, Legal Department (407) 448-0111.
Strategic Goal: City infrastructure improvements and related funding.
City Manager Shang stated this item updates the wastewater and water impact fees which
were discussed at a workshop. She stated water impact fee was based on 100% cost
recovery and the wastewater impact fee was based on 75% cost recovery. Mayor
Masiarczyk clarified that this pertains to the impact fee for new construction.
There were no other comments.
D. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 04-2016; Land Development Code
Amendment Phase III - Chris Bowley, Planning and Development Services,
City of Deltona Page 3 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Minutes March 7, 2016
(386) 878-8602.
Strategic Goal: Economic Development; Update the Economic
Development Plan, including the Land Development Code (LDC).
City Manager Shang stated this item has to do with the Land Development Code (LDC)
Phase III and there were no questions or comments.
E. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 08-2016, Creating a new Article VII, “Fire
Protection System”, of Chapter 42, “Fire Prevention and Protection”, of the
Code of the City of Deltona, at first reading and to schedule second reading
for April 4, 2016 - Becky Vose, Legal Department, (407) 448-0111.
Strategic Goal: Public Safety.
City Manager Shang stated this adds the same language from the Land Development
Code (LDC) into the "Fire Protection System" code creating Chapter 42 in the City Code
so the language will appear in both places. She added there are no changes to the code, it
is just repetitive. Vice Mayor Nabicht stated there will be some developers that will only look
in one (1) place depending on the project and may not be involved in land development so
they can look at the fire code or vice versa.
Commissioner Honaker asked if there are check lists to go by to make sure the developers
have something to follow to make it easier for them because Marion County assigns a staff
person to answer any questions. Vice Mayor Nabicht replied the City has check lists and
the lists have been on the website on the Fire Department page for some time .
Commissioner Honaker stated he thinks there should be separate lists because each
project is different.
Planning and Development Services Planning Manager Tom Pauls stated he believed the
reason this was done was after talking to the Building Department, the Fire Department and
others was that there is a check list for the final site plan that is fairly complete, lengthy and
comprehensive, however, sometimes people come in to just do building improvements
which have certain fire requirements so, by having this in Chapter 42 it will cover clearly
without hesitation or cause for concern both situations.
There were no other questions or comments.
F. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 10-2016, Amending Sections 14-281 through
14-285 of the Animal Ordinance, at second and final reading - Dale Baker,
Deputy City Manager (386) 878-8852.
Strategic Goal: Public Safety, strengthen code enforcement.

City Manager Shang stated this is the second and final reading for the chicken ordinance .
Mayor Masiarczyk asked if the situation with Tractor Supply had been cleared up and City
Manager Shang replied "yes" that it was all a miscommunication and that the Building
Official Steve Roland called the store manager and clarified there was no problem and the
store manager said she appreciated that call.
Commissioner Herzberg asked if people would still need to get a permit for chickens and
Mr. Baker clarified that only owner occupied property owners can get a permit. She asked
when the permit is issued does Code Enforcement go out and inspect the enclosure, the
fencing and everything and Mr. Baker replied "yes" and under the ordinance a privacy fence
is required to shield the chicken coop from the neighbor’s view. She asked what if the
person lives on a lake front lot where there are fence restrictions because in that case the
fence cannot go back passed the back of the house. Mr. Baker replied the coop would have
to be moved up closer to the back of the house and the coop would need to be kept down
low so it would be shielded from the neighbor's view on either side. Mr. Pauls clarified a
resident can put up a fence, but it can be no higher than four (4) feet high if it is opaque and
if the fence is 75% see through it can be up to six (6) feet because you can still see the
water.
Commissioner Soukup asked what the process would be if the officer went to a rental
house and there are chickens; do the people have to get rid of them. Mr. Baker replied staff
would have to give reasonable time (a week or so) for the renter to comply with the code
and if the renter does not comply, a citation can be written or the property owner can be
taken to the Special Magistrate.
There were no other questions or comments.

13. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS:
City Manager Shang stated the City is starting the outreach program regarding the new
City of Deltona Page 5 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Minutes March 7, 2016
trash rules that will be effective June 1, 2016 and she asked for volunteers to pass out
flyers. Mayor Masiarczyk stated he is attending the Chapel Drive Neighborhood Watch
meeting tomorrow night and he suggested Sergeant Leahy who is the coordinator of the
Neighborhood Watch Program could help get the word out. City Manager Shang stated she
has packets that she will bring downstairs for the Commission.
Vice Mayor Nabicht stated a resident commented to him that the message "trash, it goes in
the bin" has been running on the entryway signs for some time and the resident suggested
the message be taken off for a while because people are not seeing it now. City Manager
Shang stated there is a whole series of statements available so residents will see a lot of
different messages.
Commissioner Schleicher commented she has a couple of residents who are elderly who
asked if they would get in trouble by putting the trash out at 4:00 p.m. instead of 6:00 p.m.
because they do not go outside after dark. She stated right now it is still daylight at 6:00
p.m., but soon it will be daylight saving time. Mayor Masiarczyk suggested there will be
many people who will find reasons for not complying, but the rules are the rules. He stated
there are ways to comply such as if the resident is disabled Waste Pro will pick up at the
side door and if the City starts making changes there will be problems June 1st. City
Manager Shang stated the residents can have side door pick up, but the resident would
have to notify Waste Pro to make arrangements for that.
Commissioner Soukup asked what will happen if staff sees someone's garbage out at 3:00
p.m. and Mr. Baker replied starting probably tomorrow a door hanger will be placed on the
door saying the garbage was put out at the wrong time. Mayor Masiarczyk stated this is a
method to get residents to try to clean up Deltona and the City is not going to stop
everything with a door hanger, but the ones that are blatant some responsibility has to go on
the homeowner.
Commissioner Smith reminded everyone that not to freak out when they see things like a
mattress or other things out by the trash bin because the resident may have called to make
arrangements for it to be picked up and were told to put the items out by the bin. City
Manager Shang stated in those cases Waste Pro will have a list and those items should not
be seen out at the road day after day.
