Community Development Department - Planning Division Requests The City Commission Hold A Public Hearing For Revising The Parkstone PUD [Planned Unit Development] Master Plan From The Plan Adopted By The Commission On July 26, 2004. This Item Is Continued From The December 13, 2004 Commission Meeting. Ms. Eloise Sahlstrom, AICP, ASLA, Senior Planner, Community Development Department introduced this Agenda Item. Tape I/Side B Deputy Mayor Blake stated, "That Reef Bay Road - I still don't see resolution to my problem there." With discussion, Deputy Mayor Blake explained, "That road is designed to handle traffic coming in and out onto it, just like it is from the development across the street - the commercial parcel just to the east of there; just as it is for all the additional homes that already exist in Parkstone. To have an additional exit going out on [State Road] 434 where cars are going to be coming out, looking for a chance to get in to the roadway where traffic is traveling at fifty (50) to sixty (60) miles an hour, they are going to be focused looking far down the road to their left; they are not going to be looking to the right." Deputy Mayor Blake added, "It is absolutely irresponsible to have a normal egress going out to that location. That was never presented to us in that fashion, initially when it came by. Last time when it came up, we discussed it and I thought it was clear what would happen - it is still there and it has to go." Commissioner McGinnis remarked, "I totally agree with you Commissioner." Mr. Marek Bakun, Vice President of Operations, Morrison Homes, 151 Southhall Lane, Suite 200, Maitland, Florida: acknowledged that he had met with the Homeowner's Association. Manager McLemore spoke for the record about the road issue being discussed. Mayor Bush opened the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item. Mr. John Mai, 1243 Stone Harbor Road, Winter Springs, Florida: as the Parkstone Homeowner's Association's President, Mr. Mai spoke in favor of an additional exit out of the Landings at Parkstone. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 10,2005 PAGE II OF 26 Discussion. Mr. Neal Smith, 292 Tavestock Loop, Winter Springs, Florida: as a member of the Homeowner's Association, Mr. Smith spoke of also being in favor of an additional exit; and agreed that the back elevations look more like front elevations. Mr. Javier E. Omana, Vice President of Land Planning Operations, CPH Engineers, Inc., 1117 East Robinson Street, Orlando, Florida: stated, "Weare in concurrence with Staffs recommendation." Regarding the issue of the additional access point, Mr. Omana stated, "If you all want to take it away, we'll take it away; because this is a result of their wishes and desires. So it will function as egress emergency purposes and an exit movement to the right only. So, ifit your - desire to do away with that, Morrison Homes has no problem with that at all. Relative to other items with respect to the buildings, as Eloise [Sahlstrom] mentioned, we've broken this up right here." Mr. Russell Hawkins, 740 Seneca Meadows Road, Winter Springs Florida: also spoke on an additional access point. Mayor Bush closed the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item. Commissioner Miller stated, "I share Commissioner Blake's concerns about the exit onto [State Road] 434." Discussion ensued on Traffic Study results. Commissioner Miller said, "I will stand then - with my concerns about the second access or second way out. I don't think that is a good idea." With additional discussion, Commissioner Miller said, "I share Commissioner Blake's concerns. I would like to see you bring back some information on [State Road] 434 though, verify that with [F]DOT (Florida Department of Transportation)." Mr. Lockcuffsaid, "We're bringing the Traffic Study at the February meeting, and I will have all the Levels of Services." Discussion ensued on the Trail. Commissioner McGinnis said, "Assuming that this Trail is going to be used for many purposes including children which makes it a little bit different than pedestrians at the Town Center, could there be some kind - that is activated by a gate from the inside - could there be some kind of a little - blinker on the outside that could signal to those young kids?" Commissioner McGinnis added, 'An alert. Is that a possibility?" Ms. Sahlstrom responded, "I would think so. It also would be possible to make the texture of the pavement before it gets to the Trail- kind of a rumble texture." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 10, 2005 PAGE 12 OF 26 Commissioner Gilmore suggested, "If you put one of these - speed bumps - one that is about three inches (3") high and about six inches (6") wide across there, that is going to force people to creep over that thing and I would suggest that they would see if there was anybody on the Trail." Further discussion. "I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REVISED P ARKSTONE PUD [PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT] MASTER PLAN SUBJECT TO THE REEF BAY ROAD ENTRANCEWAY BEING BUILT ONLY AS AN EMERGENCY ENTRANCE AND NOT AS A REGULAR EGRESS FOR RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC." DEPUTY MAYOR BLAKE ADDED, "AN UNPAVED, STABILIZED SURFACE." MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR BLAKE. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MILLER. DISCUSSION.

Community Development Department - Planning Division Requests The City Commission Hold A Public Hearing For The Aesthetic Review Of The Landings At Parkstone Townhome Development. This Item Is Continued From The December 13, 2004 Commission Meeting. Ms. Sahlstrom introduced this Agenda Item. Tape 2/Side A Ms. Sahlstrom further noted, "The Applicant has also indicated to me that if it is your desire for them to put in a solid wall, they will certainly comply with your wishes." Mayor Bush opened the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item. No one spoke. Mayor Bush closed the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 10, 2005 PAGE I3 OF 26 Mr. Bakun addressed the City Commission on this project and explained, "There are three (3) four (4) unit buildings facing State Road 434. And in order to not have that cookie cutter architecture - what we wanted to do is show that the three units will each be slightly different and they'll fit together into a nice pattern." With discussion, Deputy Mayor Blake suggested, "Would it be possible to do perhaps a half solid wall with the wrought iron treatment on top of that?" Discussion. Mr. Omana further addressed the City Commission and stated, "This particular plan view shows unit number 16, which fronts the back of house, fronting on [State Road] 434, and it shows the existing condition. You have a thirty-five foot (35') setback from the property line to the back of house, vertical wall. There is a fifteen foot (15') wall and landscape easement in place. Within that fifteen foot (15') easement we have - where you see the column - the columns and the metal fencing in between the columns, because we have an existing continuous hedge that is a minimum of three feet (3 ') in height. What we are proposing in this particular option and is reflected in the civil engineering plans is that we're proposing to plant either a live oak or a magnolia tree, sixteen foot (16') in height at time of planting which translates anywhere from four to five inches (4"- 5") in diameter breast height (dbh) which I think will accomplish a tremendous amount of shadowing and also buffering and softening that back of house elevation, and will also hide, so to speak some of those items back there. As far as the continuous hedge as it is right now, that can be replaced for it to be even higher than what it is today." Manager McLemore said, "What actually I was recommending was four feet (4') of masonry and then two feet (2') of wrought iron treatment on top." Manager McLemore added, "Or either three feet (3') of masonry and three of wrought iron or four feet (4') of masonry and two feet (2 ') of wrought iron. Mr. Bakun said, "We're not against that I think if that's the Commission's decision - we're fine with proceeding." Deputy Mayor Blake said, "It would go exactly where the fencing already is." Deputy Mayor Blake then explained, "In other words, the - brick posts that are in place, or whatever those are called, those could remain and it would go between those." Mr. Bakun said, "Right. Again - if that's the Commission's wish." Commissioner McGinnis noted, "What I don't like is a high wall under any conditions." Commissioner McGinnis added, "I prefer landscaping. I think the preference for me to enhance a community is through extensive and lush and well maintained landscaping. So that would be my preference. I could certainly support a low fence with grill work at the top." Discussion. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 10,2005 PAGE 14 OF 26 Discussion ensued on roofing shingles. Mr. Liz Wirth, Purchasing Analyst, Morrison Homes, 151 Southhall Lane, Suite 200, Maitland, Florida: showed roofing shingle samples to the City Commission. Commissioner Miller remarked that regarding the proposed wall, "I think four [feet]/two [feet] (4'/2') would probably be a good solution." Commissioner Miller added, "I would like Staff to provide her with - at some point - with all the projects we approved on the west side in the last four (4) or five (5) years, and look at the landscaping that was shown in the pictures such as Auto Zone, and - Walgreen's and several other ones there. It's just ragged looking and its run down." Commissioner Miller added, "The Hess Station is a good point." Commissioner McGinnis said, "I think HOA's (Homeowner's Association's) are more inclined to maintain a high level of landscaping - it is the biggest investment they have." Furthermore, Commissioner McGinnis spoke for the record about Homeowner's Association's. Mayor Bush said to Manager McLemore, "Is there any reason it can't be written into this Agreement that that landscaping be maintained as presented." "I WOULD MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE ITEM '403' WITH THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS - THAT THE HOMES ON PARKSTONE BOULEVARD ARE ALSO FINISHED OFF WITH THE AMENITIES THAT ARE THOSE THAT ARE FACING [STATE ROAD] 434 AND THAT WE HAVE A FOUR FOOT (4') MASONRY WALL WITH THE IRON OR SOME OTHER METAL - DECORATIVE FEATURE ON TOP OF THAT ON [STATE ROAD] 434 - TWO FEET (2') METAL - TO GIVE YOU SIX FOOT (6')." COMMISSIONER McGINNIS ADDED, "FOUR AND TWO." COMMISSIONER GILMORE NOTED, "RIGHT." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER GILMORE. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MILLER. DISCUSSION. DEPUTY MAYOR BLAKE STATED, "JUST AS CLARIFICATION, ON P ARKSTONE BOULEVARD, YOU ARE SUGGESTING THAT THE REAR OF THE BUILDING STRUCTURES WILL BE OF THE SAME ELEVATION AS THOSE REQUIRED ON [STATE ROAD] 434?" COMMISSIONER GILMORE STATED, "YES." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 10,2005 PAGE 15 OF 26 DEPUTY MAYOR BLAKE CONTINUED, "AND WHAT ABOUT WALL TREATMENT - THE MOTION WAS THAT IT WOULD HAVE THE SAME - FEATURES ALONG PARKSTONE AS IT HAD ALONG [STATE ROAD] 434. I AM JUST TRYING TO FURTHER DEFINE WHETHER THAT INCLUDES THE FOUR FOOT (4') AND TWO FOOT (2') SECTION OF THE WALL..." COMMISSIONER GILMORE SAID, "...WE CAN MAKE THAT AS PART OF THE MOTION." DEPUTY MAYOR BLAKE ADDED, "DID THE MOTION ALSO INCLUDE THE UPGRADED LANDSCAPE PLAN AS PRESENTED?" DEPUTY MAYOR BLAKE NOTED, "THE ENGINEER I BELIEVE DISCUSSED THE PLANTING OF THE TREES, OF SOME SIZE, FOUR TO FIVE INCHES (4"-5") DBH (DIAMETER BREAST HEIGHT) - APPROXIMATELY SIXTEEN FEET (16') IN HEIGHT, LIVE OAKS..." COMMISSIONER GILMORE ADDED, "...IF WE WANT TO INCLUDE THAT AS PART OF THE MOTION WE CAN. I WILL INCLUDE THEN THAT WE INCLUDE THE WALLS ON PARKSTONE TO BE THE SAME AS THE WALLS ON [STATE ROAD] 434 AND THAT WE INCLUDE THE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING AS PRESENTED THIS EVENING."

Ms. Sahlstrom spoke on this Agenda Item and pointed out that, "These Final Engineering Plans have not been reviewed again by DRC (Development Review Committee). They have incorporated the changes that you request, and so Staff is recommending approval, but subject to an additional Staff DRC (Development Review Committee) which may find some minor changes." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 10,2005 PAGE 16 OF 26 Ms. Sahlstrom added, 'The division in the driveways I believe has not been defined as to whether that would be a stamped concrete or a strip of sod. That would be something for you to give comment to - direction to the Applicant as to what your desire is on that." Deputy Mayor Blake said "On the driveway breakup or separation, I think I originally discussed a landscaped field or a grass strip or something and we had discussed that that would be very, very difficult to maintain - so if it some other sort of xeriscape or a hardscape that is just really different and sets it off, whether it would be stamped or whatever, that would be fine for me." "I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE FINAL ENGINEERING PLANS FOR THE LANDINGS AT PARKSTONE, AS PRESENTED, SUBJECT TO CHANGES MADE EARLIER IN THE EVENING SPECIFICALLY TO THE REEF BAY ROAD ENTRANCE OR EXIT AND SUBJECT TO THE DRIVEWAY BREAKUP - TO BE PAVER OR PAVER-LIKE MATERIAL."
