Wayne Nelson, 1104 Winged Foot Circle, representing Country Club Village and the Tennis Membership at Tuscawilla Country Club, spoke regarding the tennis court restrooms being closed because the water has been shut off and again asked the Commission to consider a 180 day moratorium on all permits to be issued to building related to Arrowhead Units 1 &2, until a complete understanding of all issues as they relate to the PUD and the settlement agreement, including amendments thereto can be achieved. Discussion. Commissioner McLeod asked the City Manager to look into the closing of the restrooms. Attorney Kruppenbacher gave an up-date on the Tuscawilla Country Club issue. Attorney Kruppenbacher stated that he was informed a week ago that there were three bills in the "rears" on the Tuscawilla property and he and the City Manager reviewed those issues and said they are looking as to whether or not the failure to maintain lights and water at the tennis courts, pool, etc. if this is a breech of the earlier agreement that required the maintenance of the golf course facilities, and will ask for guidance on this at the next meeting. Attorney Kruppenbacher said he will bring back to the Commission, to pass on an emergency basis, an ordinance that says if someone holds several water and/or sewer accounts with the City and when paid the City applies the payment to the account that is the most in the "rears" and if the account is not brought current, everything gets shut off. Attorney Ree:ular Meetine: City Commission March 10. 1997 96-97-10 Pae:e 2 Kruppenbacher said this emergency ordinance is not just because of Mr. Mikes. Attorney Kruppenbacher said he and Attorney McIntosh has completed a review of every record that is possessed in the City and said they are going to Tallahassee on Wednesday to meet with the Department of Community Affairs to review their records; and said they are planning to be in a finalized position within the next two weeks. And will give the Commission an opinion on every issue they have been able to identify legally and planning wise regarding the golf course and the two parcels. In addition, he was advised this evening by the Attorneys in Tampa, that have filed the foreclosure action, that they had amended their lawsuit to name the City of Winter Springs as an additional party to the lawsuit; not to seek damages against the City of Winter Springs, but to simply identify to the court that the City has an interest in the proceedings by virtue of the agreements the City has and that the property, etc. is involving it. The Attorneys asked ifhe (Kruppenbacher) would accept service of process for the City and said his recommendation, unless the Commission objects, is that the Commission agrees to let him do that, because he thinks the City has some interest to be protected through that and in that lawsuit. Attorney Kruppenbacher said they are evaluating and will give a final recommendation on should we file an action to enforce the provision that requires maintenance of the facilities. Discussion. It was the consensus of the Commission to authorize Attorney Kruppenbacher to take action with the lawsuit from the Attorneys in Tampa. Manager McLemore mentioned to the Commission that late this afternoon, Mr. Mikes came into the Building Department and asked for a demolition permit for the tennis courts and pool; and stated that the City will not issue the demolition permit until such time that a Judge says we have to. Bruce Bower, Shore Road, thanked the City for the stop signs on Shore Road and asked that the Police Department be villagent and take more steps if necessary for speeding in that area. Joanne Krebs, Taproot Drive, spoke about the B.F.I. contract. Ms. Krebs also asked questions regarding workshops, and what course of action should be taken if a citizen has information for the Commission on a decision that they will be making and what is Public Comment used for. Mayor Partyka said with regards to workshops and regular meetings, the citizens should come to any meeting that makes sense to them and said to have as many people present at the meetings to make a point. In terms of public comment, the Commission allows public comment on any item or issue at any meeting. In terms of information to pass on to the Commission, the information should get the information to the Commission on a timely manner for their review. Harold Scott, Augusta National Boulevard, said that he is concerned that on Lot 6, Parcel I of the Tuscawilla PUD, he thinks they are getting ready to bulldoze out the sand traps to put a house there and said he is concerned that it is infringing on the golf course.

Resmlar Meetine: City Commission March 10. 1997 96-97-10 Pae:e 5 Land Development Coordinator C. Requesting Commission action on the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board that t he Stone Gable PUD Final Subdivision PlanlPreliminary Engineering be approved. PURPOSE: to forward to the Commission the Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation that the Final Subdivision Plan/Preliminary Engineering for the Stone Gable PUD be approved. This property is located on the south side of S.R 434 to the immediate west of the DOT retention pond, west of Winding Hollow Boulevard: Commissioner McLeod mentioned that he was unhappy with the 50' sites, but it passed with the zoning. Commissioner McLeod asked about the location of the 6' aluminum picket fence. Mr. McIntosh said it is scheduled to be on the west side of the commercial property and said there is no requirement for a fence there but it is proposed by the applicant to add additional screening. Commissioner McLeod said he feels that in a short period of time the aluminum fence will look worse than nothing and said it is his personal opinion is that instead of a fence it needs to be a brick wall or block wall with stucco on it and said aluminum fences are not attractive at all after a period of time. Mr. McIntosh said he could safely state (for the applicant) that they would rather build nothing then a brick wall on the commercial. Commissioner McLeod said he feels that a nice landscaping buffer would be nicer than to have an aluminum fence. Commissioner McLeod asked if the developer is following the guidelines (as we're laying out with the 434 vision) with regards to landscaping. Mr. LeBlanc said they are attempting to. Mr. McIntosh said the spirit is embraced by this applicant and in the developer's agreement there is reference to a split faced block wall as a standard for the wall and the applicant has opted and asked for clarification that a brick wall is an improvement of that standard and that is what they are asking to build on the highway and that is more than the developer's agreement required them to do, but says he thinks it is consistent with what is trying to be done along the corridor. Commissioner Gennell said where the wall is going to be along the front of S.R 434, how many feet will it be set back from the R-O-W. Mr. McIntosh said there is a IS' buffer, and we had asked the L.P.A. for some flexibility such that the wall did not have to be placed exactly on the terminal end of that easement; in other words to provide some flexibility for cut-outs and such so that the landscaping could be done creatively; but it will be within the southern 5' of the 15' buffer, and for the most part directly adjacent to the subdivision itself. Commissioner Gennell asked about the sidewalks and the landscaping and asked ifit was the applicant's intention to move the shrubs a few feet back from the sidewalk. Mr. McIntosh said the way the sidewalks generally run they run in the RO.W. and in this case they will be at 7 to 10 feet between the back of the walk and the wall, which will give plenty of room to house the landscaping. Commissioner Gennell asked about lot clearing as she has had complaints from residents in different areas of the City, that move into lots where there are trees along the rear of their property and then a developer sells the back lots and all the trees are bulldozed down and asked that were it isn't necessary to go in and just do clearing to leave some trees. Mr. McIntosh said in this instance, there are no trees in that area. Commissioner Blake said he has a problem with the 50' lots and asked what is the need to have 50' Ree:ular Meetine: City Commission March 10. 1997 96-97-10 Pae:e 6 lots on this parcel. Mr. McIntosh said the development agreement contemplated it and the applicant has determined that in order for him to be able to develop the property he needs this many lots in order to deal with it in the market place and an area that is completely void of vegetation, allows for a more dense development; also we have the transitional issues, we have commercial properties to the west and north, and F.D.O.T. retention to the east and a power line. Discussion. Motion was made by Commissioner Conniff to approve AgelIlda Item C with the two caveats from the Planning and Zoning and the recommendations of Staff. Seconded by Commissioner Langellotti. Discussion.

Motion passes. Attorney Kruppenbacher read Ord. 652 by title only. Attorney Kruppenbacher pointed out that in the agenda Item D says that it is a request for a change and identifies the purpose to allow a Wino-Dixie to be developed, we need to clarify one thing and that is there is no guarantee a Wino-Dixie is going to be developed, the Commission is converting it to commercial property and are not contracting for a Winn-Dixie and said he just wanted to make sure the Commission understands that. Community Development Department E. Requests the City Commission to approve the first reading for adoption of Ordinance No. 653 to change the zoning designation of a .229 acre parcel located on the north side of State Road 434 approximately 3,000 feet east of U.S. 17/92.

Requests the City Commission reconsider purchasing a surplus Christmas Sled from the Orlando Naval Training Center for use in the City of Winter Springs Annual Holiday Parade. PURPOSE: to allow the Commission to make a decision as to whether they want to place a bid on a Christmas Sled for use in the City of Winter Springs Annual Holiday Parade: Art Hoffinann, Mt. Laurel Drive, representing the Civic Association, said one problem with this item is that it is difficult to store it, we are looking at possible storage areas and if we can't then it becomes a mute subject and asked if the Commission could defer the bidding until the Civic Association's meeting on Thursday. Mayor Partyka stated that with speaking with the Manager, they discussed that this could be used in other places such as when Santa visits neighborhoods, or potentially rent it out to other Cities. In regards to storing we could look into asking the School Board to store it at the Bus Depot or Winter Springs High School. Commissioner McLeod stated another possibility could be the new Police Department as they have an additional 3,000 sq.ft., under roof, with a dirt floor and maybe it could be stored there as presently that is not supposed to be used for anything and it does have a garage door on it. Discussion. Motion was made by Commissioner Blake to bid $1,000 on the Christmas Sled. Motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner Gennell asked if the Commission decides to bid on this, where would the money come from. Manager McLemore stated it will come from the General Fund Reserves. Motion was made by Commissioner Gennell to bid $1,800 on the Christmas Sled, subject to having an adequate place to store it. Seconded by Commissioner Conniff. Discussion. Vote: Commissioner Blake: nay; Commissioner Conniff: aye; Commissioner Langellotti: aye; Commissioner Gennell: aye; Commissioner McLeod: nay. Motion passes. Parks and Recreation Department G. Requests the Commission authorize the City Manager to expend $12,500.00 to enter into a contract with Michael Design Associates, Inc., for planning services related to two (2) trailheads and trail alignment for the Florida National Scenic Trail through the City of Winter Springs at a cost of $9,992.00 and to provide for $2,468.00 in related reimbursable. PURPOSE: to procure professional planning services and information needed to facilitate the development of two (2) trailheads in Winter Springs included in the County Trail Master Plan, and to provide the information that will be needed to apply for grant funding for the trailheads design and improvements: Manager McLemore said the process of trail building is moving along very rapidly. We have received Res!Ular Meetine: City Commission March 10. 1997 96-97-10 Pae:e 8 some communication from County officials and after talking this through with Staff, we believe the best way to deal with this is to enter into an agreement with Michael & Michael because they are the people the County listens to. It was our feeling that would give us the best coordinated approach and the most intelligent approach to plug into the trail network and achieving early results. Manager McLemore said there is an element of emergency to this and that is that there is funding cycles that start in April that we have to meet in order to begin implementation at the earliest point in time. We are basically trying to position ourselves strategically to be abl~ to implement as quickly as possible and to reach into the dollars that have been made available at this point in time for the building of the trail system. Manager McLemore stated the consultant will give more detail on that. Forest Michael, with Michael Design Associates, Inc., showed the Commission a map depicting the trail and greenway system through Central Florida. Mr. Michael stated that the arrows at the top and bottom is the Florida National Scenic Trail and this trail garners Federal support and also State wide support for funding. To date, Seminole County has been the recipient of approximately half a million dollars in funding for the Florida National Scenic Trail. That funding will go into the improvements of a bridge structure over Howell Creek (for safety reasons), this funding comes from the Department of Transportation and it's a program that D.O.T. has to help fund bicycle and pedestrian facilities for people of all ages. Mr. Michael said one thing they have accomplished with the U.S. Forest Service, who manages the Florida National Scenic Trail is to bring the National Scenic Trail from Spring Hammock through downtown Winter Springs and through downtown Oviedo and out to the Econ River. D.O. T. is looking at Seminole County very closely and it is the goal of this proposal to propose an additional half a million dollars this coming year to the County but then to get the locals interest relative to what the local Cities want and that includes both Winter Springs and Oviedo, what the Cities want from the County relative to trailheads and infrastructure improvements. This does not just include paved asphalt trails, we are also talking about the possibility for a downtown infrastructure, including bricks, motor, signage and actual trailhead buildings/open air shelters. Mr. Michael said what they are proposing to do is to give the County the City's input relative to specifically to what the City wants and it is their goal to help build a much stronger application to both the Central office D.O.T in Tallahassee and the District office D.O.T. in Deland so that we can ask for more funding through both offices. Manager McLemore said the emergency nature of this is to meet this funding deadline or we potentially loose the opportunity. Discussion. Mr. Michael stated that to date, Winter Springs will actually be the recipient of part of the half a million dollars that they brought in last year to the County. Motion was made by Commissioner Blake to approve Item G. Seconded by Commissioner Conniff. Discussion. Commissioner Blake withdrew his motion. Commissioner Conniff withdrew his second.

Attorney Kruppenbacher stated a Staff recommendation was no direct access to the property from S.R. 434, unless D.O.T. has completed the left turn lane and it they don't do the left turn lane then the developer has to do it; all construction traffic will come off of S.R. 434 onto Vistawilla then across to the project. Attorney Kruppenbacher asked if the City can include in the stipulation that would require the developer to notify all contractors and have them sign a document that they recognize that they are not allowed to go into the PUD, beyond the project.
