PURPOSE: to inform the Commission of the Staff approved site plan engineering for the AMOCO facility to be located at the intersection of Hayes Road and State Road 434 (SW corner): Donald LeBlanc, Land Management Specialist, gave his presentation. Mr. LeBlanc stated that this item came before the Commission as a conceptual plan on December 9, 1996, and stated that the Commission's two primary concerns were the car wash and sounds coming from that. Mr. LeBlanc stated that the car wash has been eliminated in its entirety. The other concern was the separation between Hacienda Village and the site; Mr. LeBlanc stated that there will be a six foot masonry wall along the southern parameter of the property, there will be no wall on the western edge because it abuts the Cumberland Farms property. Mr. LeBlanc said the engineer of record is present for any questions. Rose Dorsey, Manager for Hacienda Village, stated that the main concern of the residents is if this project will be hooked to their sewer lines. Mr. LeBlanc said it is his understanding that the sewer line is being hooked to Hacienda Village. Ms. Dorsey said the other concern of the residents is who will maintain the wall that will be put up by Hacienda Village. Mr. LeBlanc stated that is the duty of the commercial property owner. Jeff Hodgkinson, representative for the owner and project engineer, stated that he doesn't feel the owner will have a problem with the maintenance of the wall for things such as graffiti. Commissioner Gennell asked what kind of finish will be on the wall. Mr. Hodgkinson said it will stucco finish and painted. Commissioner Conniff asked about the lighting, that the Commission had a concern about the lighting going to Hacienda Village. Mr. Hodgkinson stated that on the plans it states that the lighting along the back, is lowered to three foot, it is a lighting bollard as opposed to being 16-] 8 feet in the air. Mr. Hodgkinson said the lighting on the building will be reflected as not to filter over to Hacienda Village. Reeular Meetine City Commission SeDtem ber 22. 1997 96-97-24 Paee 5 Commissioner Gennell asked about the hedge plants along the wall, and the drive-thru with the speaker and said she would like some assurance that if there is a problem in the future that the residents from Hacienda can hear the noise from the speaker, would it be agreed upon to put bigger trees in that area where the drive-thru is to break up the sound. Mr. Hodgkinson said yes they would. Commissioner Gennell said she is really concerned about the chain link fence around the retention pond, and said that is what the City was trying to get away from on S.R. 434. Mr. Hodgkinson said that is a St. John's Water Management District requirement. Discussion. Manager McLemore asked ifthere was an alternative to go to a more moderate side slope that would then allow you not to have to put up a fence. Mr. Hodgkinson said no, there is a very high water table in the area and said they are having to deal with a lot of natural occurring characteristics of the site and that was the only way to get their volume up for stormwater retention so they were not flooding the adjacent properties or the streets. Commissioner McLeod said the landscaping shows hedges along the fence, and the fence will be four feet and the hedges will be 30-36 inches in height~ and said it would be nice to see the hedge grown to cover high enough to cover the fence and asked if that is a possibility. Mr. Hodgkinson said that is acceptable and said he thinks that is the intention. Commissioner McLeod asked Mr. Hodgkinson to review that to see if that type of hedge will indeed grow to that height. Commissioner Blake asked about the 30 foot strip of property on the western boundary. Mr. Hodgkinson stated that property is owned by Michael Pajak, as trustee of that property. Discussion. Commissioner Blake said the backflow valve close to the road doesn't show landscaping in front of it. Mr. Hodgkinson stated there will be landscaping there. Commissioner Gennell asked if the two buildings would have any overhang. Mr. Hodgkinson stated that the Amoco building will have a three foot overhang along the front and sides not in the back and the convenience store will also have the three foot overhang and will have only the awning/canopy where the drive-thru serve window will be the only projection in the back. Commissioner Gennell asked about the time frame for the sewer hook-up. Mr. Hodgkinson stated the wall and the lateral hook-up will be done at the same time and said it should done within two weeks. Discussion. Commissioner Blake asked about wells that currently exist near the fuel storage tanks and stated he has some concern about petroleum storage tanks being located adjacent to existing wells and how that might affect the City's fresh water system. Mr. Hodgkinson said the wells are going to be abandoned per environmental code/procedure of grouting them properly so there is no contamination that could occur down any kind of casing. Secondly, the site is going to adhere to the new 1998 guidelines of double walled tanks. Manager McLemore stated that the wells are shallow wells for irrigation and not potable water wells. Re2ular Meetin2 City Commission Seotember 22. 1997 96-97-24 Pa2e 6 Commissioner Gennell asked if there will be bicycle racks. Mr. Hodgkinson stated that yes they will provide a bicycle rack and probably convert one of the half moon/quarter moon landscape islands would be the most feasible place to put a bicycle rack. Manager McLemore requested that the vinyl fence be black instead of green as black is best for screening around the retention pond. Mr. Hodgkinson stated that there would be no problem of using black vinyl for the fence. Mary Shadowins, 451 La Vista Drive, mentioned her concern regarding the sewer hook up with Hacienda Village. Dan Martin, resident of Hacienda Village, mentioned the alarm at the pumping station not working or not there and asked if the pump is capable to handle the extra capacity as he has called in when the sewerage starts to back up. Commissioner Blake asked who owns the sewer system that runs through all of the Hacienda Village property. Kip Lockcuff, Public Works/Utility Director, stated that the City of Winter Springs owns the mains and that the laterals are privately owned by the property owners. Commissioner Blake asked if the pump station in Hacienda Village have the standard alarm system as the City's other lift stations. Mr. Lockcuff said to his knowledge all the pump stations have audio and visual and if it is not on that particular lift station he will look into it and will have if it doesn't, and said he is not familiar with Mr. Martin's complaint. Commissioner Blake asked ifMr. Lockcuffis aware of any complaints in the recent past of that particular lift station. Mr. Lockcuff said not unique to that, that power outages causes problems, nothing unique to that lift station. Commissioner Blake asked if there has been problems with the sanitary sewer system backing up in Hacienda Village to Mr. LockcufP s knowledge. Mr. Lockcuff stated that when there are power outages, the station goes down and it backs up, just like all the others in the City if there is a power outage. Commissioner Blake asked if we have additional capacity available in that segment of the system currently. Mr. Lockcuff stated that this project would be the equivalent of three mobile homes on the system. Mr. LeBlanc said to recap the Commission's concerns: insure that the hedges grow to the height of the fence at the retention pond; landscape the northwest corner (back flow valve); a bicycle rack and black vinyl fencing and planting around the fence~ if there is a problem from noise then the planting of trees along the back masonry wall for noise abetment.

Presenting to the Commission the Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation as it relates to the Preliminary Engineering for that project called Tuskawilla Road Site for Commission action on the project. PURPOSE: to present to the Commission the Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation as it relates to the preliminary engineering for the Tuskawilla Road Site for Commission action on the project. This project is located on the southwest corner of Tuskawilla Re2ular Meetin2 City Commission Seotember 22.1997 96-97-24 Pa2e 11 Road and Orange Avenue and is proposed to have twenty four (24) lots on approximately 11.2 acres ofland.

Requesting approval of the First Reading of Ordinance No. 684 revising the Transportation Impact Fee. PURPOSE: to authorize the First Reading of Ordinance No. 684 which replaces the Transportation Impact Fee Cost Table identified as Appendix "B" of Division 2, Article VII, Chapter 9 of the City Code of Ordinances: Motion was made by Commissioner ConnitT to read Ord. No. 684 by title only. Seconded by Commissioner Blake. Discussion. Vote: Commissioner McLeod: aye; Commissioner Conniff: aye; Commissioner Blake: aye; Commissioner Gennell: aye. Motion passes. Attorney Guthrie read Ordinance No. 684 by title only on First Reading. Kip Lockcuff, Public Works/Utility Director, stated that this is a culmination of the update to the Traffic Circulation Element of the Compo Plan. We took a lot of Capital Improvements projects off and the balance of the project had some significant lower costs which resulted in about a 40% reduction in the Transportation Impact Fees for commercial and residential properties. Mr. Lockcuffstated that Terry Zaudtke, from Conklin, Porter & Holmes, is present and that he did the traffic element update and is present to answer any questions. Commissioner Blake asked about Table 3, Phase 4, regarding the lane miles. Mr. Zaudtke said they used the total length of the area that is going to be improved as a lane mile calculation, rather than the individual, because the whole road section gets improvement by adding the turn lanes, making it effectively a three lane road so we used the entire length of that for the lane mile calculation. Commissioner Blake asked how does that fall down into the cost calculation, and asked if the cost calculation based on the total lane mile number, and said that would tend to over state that. Mr. Zaudtke said if we decreased the amount of lane miles then the cost per lane mile would go up. Reeular Meetine City Commission September 22. 1997 96-97-24 Paee 12 Commissioner Blake said then we are not calculating the total cost of these improvements by a cost per lane mile times "this" number of lane miles; we are calculating the cost as what we expect the actual project cost to be and divide that by the number oflane miles. Mr. Zaudtke said that is correct. Manager McLemore said even with the 40% reduction, the total program is fully funded. Mr. Zaudtke said that is correct, we went back and conservatively estimated how much development was going to occur and then applied a cross section of development into that and came up what we estimate the time frame to be a total dollar figure, which is slightly greater than the cost that we are looking at. Manager McLemore asked if this was for the full 10 year period. Mr. Zaudtke said yes, through the year 2010. Manager McLemore added that there is not a lot of communities that have the full 10 year plan fully funded and said we are in very good shape. Mayor Partyka closed the Regular Meeting and opened the Public Hearing. No one wished to speak. Mayor Partyka closed the Public Hearing and reconvened the Regular Meeting.

Manager McLemore said the work that Mr. Michael has done has brought us to another level. Forest Michael, of Michael and Michael, gave a slide presentation to the Commission. Mr. Michael showed the Commission a conceptual graphic which evolved from preliminary discussions with land owners and through some of our own planning efforts as far as potential sites for a town center trail head. Manager McLemore said he will be back to the Commission soon with another proposal to move this forward, we are trying to stay in contact with the property owners and trying to deal with their current needs. Manager McLemore said if we are going to make the town center happen, then we have to move forward with a public/private partnership type of arrangement to make it happen. Discussion. Manager McLemore said there is a lot more planning to be done, to tell us where the public spaces are (that lays out the basic design) then we have to decide how do we acquire and develop those public spaces. It was the consensus of the Commission to direct the City Manager to go forward with putting together necessary information to bring back to the Commission so that the Commission can make an intelligent decision. Manager McLemore mentioned that he attended a seminar while at the I.C.M.A. Conference regarding tower sites. Manager McLemore stated that all the attendees mentioned the same problem as we are having and that is with getting information fi'om the private sector. Manager McLemore said it was stated at the conference that Cities that have selected sites, the way we have selected them, are the Cities that are progressing the best with the lowest risk of successful litigation. Manager McLemore stated that many people at the conference wanted a copy of the City of Winter Springs' Telecommunication Ordinance. Manager McLemore said he needs to encourage the Commission to move this along and make a decision and resolve this issue. C.

Commissioner Blake stated at the previous Commission Meeting he was asked to go with Mr. Drago to the City of Oviedo regarding the City of Oviedo allowing constnlction to start as early as 4:00 a.m. on the Mall Property. Commissioner Blake said he and Mr. Drago met with Gene Williford, City Manager, as well as Tom McCarthy, project manager for the developer~ the Commission has received a memo from Mr. Drago explaining what was discussed and copies of papers that show that that approval was actually an extension for a short period of time of an approval that had already existed since February 1997 for early start times. The developer had personally contacted each of the residences (in the City of Winter Springs) that own property bordering the development and gave them a special phone number to call if they had any complaints. Commissioner Blake stated that early in the phase they did receive one complaint and it was addressed immediately, and since that time there have been no additional complaints, either through that resource, this City, and the Tuscawilla Homeowners Association. Commissioner Blake said we have agreed to, in the future, to have all of our agendas sent to the City of Oviedo and the City of Oviedo has agreed to send their agendas to our City so that the two Cities can see if there is anything of interest that comes up between their borders that a neighboring City may have an interest in. Commissioner Blake said hopefully this will forster a better working relationship between two Cities who share an extensive border between them. F. Commission Seat V - David McLeod: Commissioner McLeod mentioned a meeting he attended with the Oak Forest Wall Committee, the County Manager Assistant Kevin Grace, to try to fulfill what was promised to the residents in Oak Forest, that we would work with them and the County in getting the design going with the engineering staff and consultants. Commissioner McLeod said there is an interlocal agreement that needs to be signed and brought to the County so we can go forward. A tentative date has been set to meet again and the homeowners will bring a couple conceptual drawings of cross sections of the wall and perhaps an entrance viewing of the wall for discussion with the County Engineer; and the consultant will be there to bring this forward so we meet our October deadline to have the information to the County so that when it goes out to bid in January, that information is available for the bid documents. G. Commission Seat I - Larry Conniff: Commissioner Conniff stated that as far as the tower issue goes, PrimeCo is advertising that they have everything covered without another tower going in~ if they have it covered without another tower going in, then why do we need towers.
