WHAT THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION HAS CURRENTLY VOLUNTEERED IS THEY HAVE A SPACE ALONG THEIR COMMON ENTRANCE THERE, I BELIEVE ON OLD WHITE WAY AS IT COMES IN, THERE IS A SMALL POND AREA THERE, ACROSS FROM BYRON GILTZ'; AND I BELIEVE THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE LOCATIONS AND THE OTHER WAS AT ONE OF THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION'S PERSONAL LOTS. THEY HAVE SPACE FOR IT THAT THEY WISH TO HAVE SUCH AND MAINTAIN IT THEMSELVES." COMMISSIONER GILMORE ADDED, "THAT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE THEN, THAT THE TREES WOULD BE OFF THIS SITE?" MR.

Next, Attorney Garganese remarked, "And regarding the Hayes Road right turn lane, we, after receiving an - Appraisal for the property, we sent a written formal offer to the Property Owner. We did not receive any response from the Property Owner for a voluntary conveyance of the land necessary for the right turn lane. So we're proceeding forward with the filing of a petition exercising eminent domain authority to acquire that property. " Continuing, Attorney Garganese advised the City Commission that "In the Case, Binford v. the City of Winter Springs, the City's Motion for Summary Judgment is scheduled for December 7th, [2006].

Attorney Garganese remarked, "I am going to check that date and I can get back to you on that." REPORTS 601. Office Of The City Manager - Ronald W. McLemore Manager McLemore said, "Two (2) things. First, I just need to get your Consensus or approval on something. I've been invited to do a contribution to a book, it's an academic book. This would be the third contribution I've made to the literature in book form. The reason I was interested in it, and I haven't done much in the last four (4) or five (5) years because the City's kept me so busy - but the reason I was interested in this one was because they've asked, they wanted an article on a new urbanism project, case study. And so I said, {Okay', subject to you being comfortable with that And again, it's purely an academic; it's not anything else other than that. So, I just generally want to make you aware of that and see if you're okay with it. " Deputy Mayor Blake inquired, {{What type of financial arrangement are you anticipating with this endeavor?" Manager McLemore said, uFor me?" Deputy Mayor Blake said, "Yes." Manager McLemore replied, {{Zero." Deputy Mayor Blake said, "I think it's probably appropriate - in the interest of the City and yourself, that that be memorialized..." Manager McLemore said, {{...No problem." Deputy Mayor Blake said, {~nd I'm just trying to keep everything clean and clear. And especially - if you're going to be spending some time on it - but I just don't want there, especially in this community, to be any additional questions, that we would then have to find Elected folks answering for, {Why didn't you police things up a little better'." Manager McLemore said, {{I'll give you a letter from the Professor saying that it's truly academic with no funds involved." Deputy Mayor Blake said, {{That would suit me fine, I don't know what everybody else feels." No objections were noted. Manager McLemore said, "The other item is - I want to hand you out a copy of the revised proposed Agreement with JDC (James Doran Company) that we really just completed today." Discussion. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 13,2006 PAGE 18 OF 25 Tape 3/Side B Further discussion ensued on the Town Center and the Special Meeting scheduled for tomorrow. Deputy Mayor Blake said, "Sometime before tomorrow, early afternoon, could 1 have a list from you and your Staff of all of the outstanding issues? Because 1 will tell you that sitting here, just moments ago, was the first time 1 heard about the wall next to the McDonald's." Deputy Mayor Blake added, "I think we need to figure out what are all the issues, discuss what all ofthe issues are, and then let's move forward." Commissioner Krebs said, "I had the same - when 1 saw the Agenda and it said 'Parking and other issues' - and 1 had also wanted to know what those issues were. But if you say they're all in here, then 1 will review this tonight and tomorrow - everything that is going to come up is - addressed here." Deputy Mayor Blake said, "Well, as soon as you get that document, will you email it to each of us?" Manager McLemore said, "Be happy to. And they may email it directly to you, but as soon as 1 can get, I'll send it right to you." Commissioner Krebs said, "And 1 am glad you brought up that point about the balconies. And 1 am sure there were discussions about that. 1 don't, 1 wasn't up here, so 1 don't recall them and 1 was wondering if there was some type of documents out there that 1 could review so that 1 could understand the complete spirit of what was intended, why it was intended, what balconies we are supposed to do, for instance? And when 1 spoke with Shane [Doran] or George [Tullos], they indicated that that was for shade and if those discussions took place, 1 would like to understand the context of which that took place. And if there is such a document; 1 would like to know that." Manager McLemore said, "It's laid out in the Code and somewhere we had a rendering from our Consultant, Victor Dover, on that because that question had come up a lot. And he's just very adamant about that as a standard for buildings to provide both shade, relief from rain. And for example, when have a colonnade, you don't have to do it..." Commissioner Krebs commented, "... Well, that is what I am wondering. If you have a colonnade, do you have to have a balcony? Can you have a balcony above it, above the colonnade?" Manager McLemore responded, "I suppose you could." Commissioner Krebs said, "And if you do - this is all what I'm trying to find out, can the balcony be less than six feet (6') on the second floor if you have the colonnade that meets that requirement?" Manager McLemore then explained, "I don't think there's any requirement a balcony at all when you have a colonnade." Commissioner Krebs noted, "I understand that, but what happens if you want to put one in?" Manager McLemore said, "Sure, there wouldn't be a need, 1 think, to require the six feet (6')." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 13, 2006 PAGE 19 0F25 Manager McLemore continued, "The intent is to have some uniformity when you look down the street and you have some relief for people when they're going into a building, that they're not going to have the rain beating down on them. That there's a place there that they can stop, you know, for a minute, and take off your coat and whatever you do before you move into a building; just to give you some relief from some temperature and rain; and to provide some uniformity of the look." Commissioner Krebs said, "Well, since you feel that's going to come up tomorrow, then I would appreciate any information that I could read up on to help me make the best decision that I can make." Manager McLemore asked, "Are you available tomorrow?" Commissioner Krebs replied by saying, "We can talk afterwards." Brief discussion. Manager McLemore said, "One other thing - that I need to point out to you, which you'll see in the cover letter. And the other big issue for us was that we had in the Final Engineering plans, sixty-two (62) parking spaces put aside. Those were results from negotiations that we had, even though yes, they didn't have our name on them at that point in time, and the fact that now, those spaces were to go away and to be used for the other tenant that we talked about. That was a big, big issue for us. Now, he tells me he has a solution for that." Manager McLemore further explained, "There were sixty-two (62) spaces over and beyond, their requirements for general parking - in the north garage. You have Final Engineering approval of that, of sixty-two (62) units that were set aside, that was a product of negotiations with us. That got into the Final Engineering, which you approved, and then the idea they want to take those away and use them for some other use was a real problem for us." Commissioner Krebs asked, "They wanted to take them away?" Manager McLemore remarked, "Yes, they wanted to use those spots now for their new tenants that we talked about. So, to me, one (1) of the things we have to solve tomorrow night is a way by which we get those units back to us instead of use for some other tenant. And the other issue was the double counting of the spaces on Tuskawilla [Road], which had already been counted in Phase I, years ago. So anyhow, he tells me he has a solution for all that and I hope he does. " Further discussion.

Miller Commissioner Miller stated, "I would like to get the Commission's Consensus to go forward to the - Authority - and raise the issue again about the seventy-five cents ($.75) from Winter Springs to Oviedo - the Turnpike Authority. " With further comments, Mayor Bush remarked, "I think everybody agrees with you on this. You have Consensus. Commissioner Miller said to Mayor Bush, "We need a solution." We're counting on you to do it. I will raise it again the next couple of weeks. " Deputy Mayor Blake said, "You know, you could tell Mayor Walters (City of Oviedo) that you have the support of the Board and see if two (2) cities want to - sue the Turnpike Authority to force them to do what we all know, and they have shown that they can do." Mayor Bush said, "I would be glad to talk to him about it. " REPORTS 604. Commission Seat Two/Deputy Mayor - Michael S. Blake Deputy Mayor Blake said, "The only thing I wanted to talk about tonight was also related to the 417, Turnpike Authority and that is as many people know, or may know, they are in the progress of going through the public information meetings to expand it out to six (6) lanes. Three (3) lanes north, three (3) lanes south. Which would be of course a fifty percent (50%) increase." Deputy Mayor Blake added, "And one of the really important problems with that is that means there will be even more traffic, more noise, and more impact on the neighborhood's, the residential areas that are adjacent to the roadway. And I think that the City should take the lead on lobbying the Turnpike Authority to make sure that the funds are indeed expended to build a sound wall on the Winter Springs side. And if we want to work with the City of Oviedo because they are similarly impacted, I think it makes sense there as welL" Discussion. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 13,2006 PAGE 21 OF 25 Deputy Mayor Blake continued, nso I would like to have the Board's support on that.

Commission Seat Four - Sally McGinnis Absent. REPORTS 607. Commission Seat Five - Joanne M. Krebs Commissioner Krebs said, n...These 'Celebrate Excellence' [medallionslfrom the Park that we received. I thought would really be nice placed - in a frame of some sort with a picture of the park and this mounted in with it. And so I thought that would be a good ideafor us. Just wondering how the Commission wouldfeel about that?" Mayor Bush asked, nCommissioners, are you in agreement with Commissioner Krebs' recommendation? Is to put together - a plaque, picture of the park with maybe one (1) of these medallions embedded in it to be displayed, maybe in the lobby?" No objections were noted. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 13,2006 PAGE 22 OF 25 Next, Commissioner Krebs remarked, "Then also I wanted to bring - forward some information and I would like us to look in the future, and I will probably be bringing some more information back. And I got to thinking, especially when I am driving down Tuskawilla Road in the evening, and I see the water, the recyclable water, watering all of the wondeiful vegetation on Tuskawilla {Road] - but what I was really thinking, the planting's really, really, really nice, but what I would like to see is Winter Springs be a leader and utilizing xeriscape type techniques. And one of the things that I was thinking would be really nice is if we had something in our parks, some area in our park that was actually a demo where this type of gardening would take place. If you've ever seen it before - some people think it's rocks and cactus, but it's not. It could look very, very tropical I would like to see something, like us lead in that and then take it even a step further as to educate, have maybe classes once a month where we offer some type of educational services to the citizens so that they too can utilize that technique. It's going to save water in the future. Also, we'll be able to redirect some of the recyclable water to the citizens returning yet another service. And at the same time, leading in Florida where we need to go in the first place. So I would really like us to... " Mayor Bush asked, ... "Commissioner Krebs, do you think that might be something that we could ask the BOWS (Beautification of Winter Springs) Board to address?" Commissioner Krebs said, "If we could do that, that would be wonderful." Mayor Bush said, "I think that would be a good use of the Board's time." Commissioner Krebs said, "That would be really a good project something - but I mean really, in the end come up with something that we all benefit by but have some place where we can visit. It could even be a passive park area, but it's all, it's an example of what someone could do in their yard; but also then hold classes to teach people how to do that. " Ms. Ethel Beecher, 1207 Winter Springs Boulevard, Winter Springs, Florida: as a Member of the Beautification of Winter Springs Board, Ms. Beecher spoke regarding the Board's plans for Arbor Day to inform citizens of native plants and other information relating to education on different topics.

Ms. Beecher said, "Sure." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 13,2006 PAGE 23 OF 25 Manager McLemore said, "I'd really like to agenda this item for after the first of the year for a full discussion. It's a pretty big issue and we need to know the upsides and the downsides of that. It's not the native plants that bother me so much, but the strict application of xeriscape, I don't think you're going to be happy with on your righi-of- ways. We need to have a good discussion of that." Mayor Bush stated, "Commissioner Krebs, you okay with that?" Commissioner Krebs replied, "Right. I am fine with it." Mayor Bush asked, "The rest of the Commission as well?" No objections were noted. REPORTS 608. Office Of The Mayor - John F. Bush Mayor Bush said, "I wanted to bring your attention on December the 11 th, [2006] at the Seminole County - Commission Chambers, the Legislative Action date. You might be thinking about what we need, if you want to present anything at that time. Maybe you'll let Mr. McLemore know. I will be going to it." Deputy Mayor Blake said, "That would be an ideal time to get with the City of Oviedo and bring up the funding for the sound wall." Mayor Bush said, "Good point." Mayor Bush said, "If you would let me know of any issues that you would like covered or Mr. McLemore, then he and I will get together and try to get something so you can see if before that date." Continuing, Mayor Bush remarked, "Our [Winter Springs] Open Space [Advisory Study] Committee, you know, we should be getting ready to have about the first meeting. I would like to ask the Commission if we could appoint an Ex-Officio member, Michael Barr, from the Seminole Soil and Conservation District. He is very interested in - working with our [Winter Springs] Open Space [Advisory Study] Committee. Would you have any objection to having him as an Ex-Officio member?" Deputy Mayor Blake commented, "I would not be in favor of that. 1 think we have convened a Board of our citizens that have like interests. I think we have Staff that's going to provide the professional expertise that will be required. And the Commission's given them a directive and I think when you start having outside people, such as Mr. Barr, maybe who have a broader interest in what we're trying to do just here in Winter Springs, that it could tend to lead in perhaps a different direction then what we're looking for. " With further discussion, Mayor Bush asked, "Commissioners, do you agree with Commissioner Blake and I won't bother talking to this guy about?" Commissioner Miller said, "I do. I agree with Commissioner Blake." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 13, 2006 PAGE 24 OF 25 Tape 4/Side A Mayor Bush then asked about the Binford Case.

" Deputy Mayor Blake then asked, "Is there a way to require cross-referencing on the Ordinance that this extends to Ordinance 2006-08, that adds a section to that - that directs people to this Ordinance, so that they don't just see that one and they think it has expired?" Deputy Mayor Blake added, "I guess we could go ahead and put it on the Website." Attorney Garganese added, "We can put some notation, just to make sure that people know that it's extended." Deputy Mayor Blake continued by saying, "If somebody is looking at 2006-08, just so that they understand that there is a subsequent Ordinance that extends that longer, they don't think that's the end of it." City Clerk Lorenzo- Luaces stated, "We do have the ability to link items so we could very well link that Ordinance to this one." Deputy Mayor Blake noted, "That would be great."
