Mr. William Riccard, 217 Chestnut Ridge, Winter Springs, Florida: concerned with
Section 20-411. of the Code of Ordinances, in regards to temporarily keeping his boat on
his property. Discussion.
Commissioner Martinez stated that Mr. Riccard had called him on this issue.
City Manager Ronald W. McLemore suggested that "What might be of help for us is to
contact some other communities that are, and have a lot of boating people in the
community, to see what seems to be working."
Mayor Partyka stated, that "On a temporary basis, I believe forty-eight (48) hours may
actually be on the books already, on a temporary basis, and I think we need to find that
out for sure."
Attorney Anthony A. Garganese was asked about the applicable Code and responded,
that "If you want to relax your code, then you need a code amendment. I was looking
through the code, and I didn't see anything that allowed forty-eight (48) hours for
someone to park a boat in the front of their yard. I did see a forty-eight (48) hour
extension for disabled vehicles; and there may be some other code provisions. Basically,
there is a forty-eight (48) hour time period for disabled vehicles. If you want to go down
the road and allow an exception to the new trailer regulation, then you need to examine
that, and it would have to come back at another meeting - for you to consider an
Ordinance change."
"MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE TO DIRECT THE CITY MANAGER TO REVIEW
THE POLICIES OF SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES AND SEE HOW THEY
HANDLE THIS SITUATION, AND BRING BACK SOME
RECOMMENDATIONS TO US, TO TAKE CARE OF, NOT ONLY MR.
RICCARD, BUT OTHER INDIVIDUALS IN THE CITY'S PROPERTIES AS
WELL." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BLAKE. SECONDED BY

Commissioner Martinez inquired, "Do we follow the same procedure on these rehabs, as
you would follow on any development? In other words, would you have to send your
people out there to inspect, before you issue 'e.o. 's?'" Manager McLemore stated,
"Absolutely." Commissioner Martinez further stated, "I would like you to have someone

Ms. Candice Birle of the Wyman Fields Foundation addressed the Commission on the
status of this proj ect.
Commissioner Martinez stated, "I just wanted to make sure that my comments were not
misconstrued. I am not against the project. What I am against is, or what I'm trying to
bring out is and what I am looking for - responses to is the fact that - if you're supposed
to be doing cosmetic repairs, fine. I understand what cosmetic repairs are. But, if you're
supposed to be doing re-wiring, if you're also supposed to be doing plumbing, if you're
supposed to be replacing doors, toilets and things like that - well, that is not a cosmetic
change. That's a little more than a cosmetic change, and we need to know if that was part
of the requirement, and if it was required, I'd like to know if someone - from City Hall
can go there, check it out and come back and say - this is being complied with."
Tape l/Side B
Ms. Bide mentioned that regarding Phase I - "Two things that we're asking is for you to
attend the Open House, on August 30th; and the second is, you have in the past, waived
permit fees for us. We are in the position now where we are turning the water,
connecting the water on and off, on and off, to test the water, to test the plumbing and
then turning it back off and then re-tuming it on for the cleaners, etc. We're getting
charged for this, and our bills are almost into the thousands and we're asking for you to
waive the connect/disconnect water fees until the rehab is over."

Furthermore, Ms. Bide advised the Commission that "Behind Lori Anne Lane is a small
strip of property that the city owns. Currently they are storing Public Works equipment.
It really doesn't help the neighborhood too well. We'd like to see if we can have the City
declare that as surplus property, and donate it to the foundation for a clubhouse for that
area." Ms. Bide then stated, "One of the things we do not have monies for in Phase I or
Phase II or wherever is we really do need, what we call is a subdivision wall. We'd like
to have each one of these complexes or these townhomes really have a nice subdivision
walL" Ms. Bide added, "We were looking to see if the city might want to partner with
us, in a 'CDBG' request to the County to have that done?"
Ms. Bide stated, "I have those twelve (12) buildings under contract and I need to move
forward on going to the bank and starting my loan process, I need some kind of written
commitment for Phase II." Ms. Bide added, "Number two, there are two (2) lots or two
(2) problems on Moss Road that I've called Code Enforcement on. One being a retention
pond on the corner of Moss Road and 434. The other is a Huge vacant lot next to the
professional office buildings on North Moss." Ms. Bide elaborated, "There are the brick
professional office buildings, a vacant lot, and Cory Lane".
Manager McLemore stated, "Yes, we need to take these issues and explore them and
develop alternatives, and quantify them in terms of dollars, and appropriate strategies."
Manager McLemore added that "We'll come back to you with an update."

Mr. Charles Carrington, AICP, Community Development Director spoke on this and
mentioned that "Under our Ordinance, Certificates of Occupancy will not be issued until
all infrastructure improvements have been accepted for maintenance." Mr. Carrington
further stated that a memo notes "Two errors in the Homeowners Association documents.
Page four (4) - they forgot to insert the three hundred dollar ($300.00) initial assessment
- that page is corrected and is in the insert, with that memo." Mr. Carrington further
stated, that "On page ten (10), the witness date changed due to the page four (4)
correction. I would point out that in reviewing the covenants I also discovered a third
error - on page six (6), Item 12.(c) the last word should read plat - not past."
Deputy Mayor Cindy Gennell stated that she had received a complaint call "From the
homeowners in Greenspointe - was that their understanding was that this developer of
Golfside Villas was only going to lay sod down a foot or two, into this retention area and
- in other words - where there originally was a certain little retention area there, that had
grass down to the water, and that his understanding of the plans now, as he was told by
the City's Staff, or by the developer, one, was they were only required to put it on the top
foot or so of the retention area, and that's all they intended to do. And he lived there for a
long time, and he looks out on that retention area and he was not pleased at all. And I

could agree with that, so if you can't answer the question for me about what the real story
on that is, I would just as soon defer this to the next meeting, until we can get an answer."
Mayor Partyka asked Mr. Carrington, "What golf hole is nearby."
"I'M GOING TO MOVE THAT WE POSTPONE THIS UNTIL THE NEXT
MEETING, UNTIL WE GET SOME MORE INFORMATION ON WHAT THEY
ARE REQUIRED TO DO WITH THAT DRAINAGE AND RETENTION."
MOTION BYDEPUTY MAYOR GENNELL.
Mr. Carrington stated, "I think that's fine. I would point out that the developer is posting
a bond in the amount of $32,261.00 for the completion of infrastructure, and although I
can't say for sure, but I think this is part of the infrastructure improvement, but we'll find
out and bring it back to you on the next Agenda."
Commissioner Blake asked about Item 12.(e) lot coverage ratios and stated, "I didn't
think we did any hundred percents?" Mr. Carrington said he would check on this matter.
Commissioner Blake also inquired about the regulation ofltem 18., and the constitutional
rights of Item 21. Discussion ensued on a prior Attorney's opinion regarding this.
Manager McLemore stated that he was hoping to get an opinion from Attorney
Garganese. Attorney Garganese said he would look "At the big picture, look at this issue
for you, and get back" to the Commission.
Deputy Mayor Gennell asked about Item 23., and added that this needs further review.
Discussion ensued on PUD documents. Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "I'm suggesting
that we simply have an affidavit required from an attorney, that states that based on his
determination or evaluation or his preparation of this document or. whatever - that it is
not in conflict with any City of Winter Springs' codes as of that date, and federal codes as
of that date. And anybody that wants to go back, can go back to him. That's the way I'd
like to see it done."

Tape 2/Side 8
Mayor Partyka inquired that "Commissioner Martinez mentioned that this City was in
violation of Statute 357," and inquired, "Were we in violation of something, in the
approval of this?"
Commissioner Martinez stated "That's passe because they approved the final
engineering, that specific time four-to-one. That was when they - the section in the back,
that St. John's Water Management did not approve and in order to get the final
engineering going and proceed with the project, they detached a section from it - 20-357.
says that if you detach any portion of Final Engineering, you have to come back, and you
have to go through the City Clerk, Planning and Zoning and then, back to the
Commission, and that wasn't done."
Commissioner Blake stated, "Mayor, Point of Order. For the record, it was three-to-two,
it was not four-to-one."
Mayor Partyka then said, "There is an allegation here. I need to get that clarified, maybe
not now, but it has to be answered very clearly. You just cannot go out and make these
kind of allegations including Ms. Scarlata, or anyone else and we need to find out what
the facts are. Okay. So, you can use that - whenever you find out the answer very
