HomeMy WebLinkAbout1999 08 11 Regular Item C Date: 08111999 The following Item was addressed at the Meeting held on 08/11/1999 which was a continuation of Meeting 8/9/1999. COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM C Consent Information Public Hearing Ree;ular XX August 9. 1999 Meeting MGR.'B~/Dep~ \ REQUEST: Community Development Department, Land Development Division, requests that the Commission remove from the table Consent Agenda Item B which was tabled at the Commission Meeting ofJuly 26, 1999. The request was to approve the recordation of the plat and the covenants for Parkstone Unit 1. PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to request the Commission remove from the table Consent Agenda Item B which was tabled at the Commission Meeting of July 26, 1999. The purpose of Consent Agenda Item B was to record the plat and covenants for Parkstone Unit I (property located north of SR 434 and Winding Hollow Subdivision, west of City Hall, east of the school bus barn and south of Lake Jesup). This unit will contain one hundred forty two (142) lots and the commercial tracts. APPLICABLE CODE/LA W: Florida Statutes, Section 253.141 Riparian rights defined; certain submerged bottoms subject to private ownership. Further described in Land Development Coordinator Memo to City Manager dated July 28, 1999 included as Attachment A CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 1990-2010, VOLUME 2 OF 2 Further described in Land Development Coordinator Memo to City Manager dated July 28, 1999 included as Attachment A CONSIDERA TIONS AND FINDINGS: August 9, 1999 Commission Regular Agenda Item C Page 2 I) The Commission inquired as to whether or not this project complied with the Comprehensive Plan. The project did comply with the Comprehensive Plan. 2) There was discussion as to having Sections 12.29 and 12.30 of the Covenants reviewed and possibly rewritten. The developer has publicly stated that "if a property owner can get a permit from the St. Johns River Water Management District to build a dock, then yes, a dock would be permitted". Until the question of whether or not docks are to be allowed is settled by the Commission, this cannot be rewritten. 3) There was a question regarding the escrowed funds for the homeowners' association once they take over the association from the developer. This escrow account is presently called "Initial Working Capital Escrow Account". It is the desire of a Commissioner to retitle this to "Reserve Escrow Account:. This change is not thought to be relevant to the intent, but this will be brought to the developer's attention. 4) There was a question relating to the irrigation system and the possibility of not being able to install a well if there was not an irrigation system. The Utility Director has reviewed the covenants and has stated: "In reference to Section 7.11.4, I would recommend that the sentence that begins with "No water wells....." have the following phrase inserted at the beginning of the sentence "If the Irrigation System is installed," so that wells are not precluded if the irrigation is not installed. This is consistent with the language throughout this section. This will be brought to the developer's attention. 5) There was a question asking whether or not construction could be banned in the conservation easement along the lake. The comprehensive plan addresses the placement of docks, piers or boardwalks in the wetlands (see the Land Development Coordinator Memo, Page 4, subparagraph e; Page 5, 3rd complete paragraph; Page 10, subparagraph f). August 9, 1999 Commission Regular Agenda Item C Page 3 Page 6, Policy l)a of the Land Development Coordinator's Memo addresses the ability to had a residential density of one (1) dwelling unit per five (5) gross acres in the Conservation Land Use District. Page 9, 5) d of the Land Development Coordinator's Memo addresses the clearing of shorelines - the comprehensive plan allows the clearing of 25% of the shoreline of any development parcel to provide access to the shoreline and/or view of the lake. Florida Statutes grant certain riparian rights provided the "land to which the owner holds title must extend to the ordinary high watermark of the navigable wat~r in order that riparian rights may attach". It has been presented that the properties do extend to the ordinary high watermark. Riparian rights include ingress, egress, boating, bathing, and fishing and such others as may be or have been defined. (Please see Page 2 of the Land Development Coordinator's Memo where Section 253.141 of the Florida Statutes is presented). 6) There was discussion of imposing restrictions on Planned Unit Developments under Section 353 or 354 of the Code. The proper section is Section 20-380. It is the interpretation of the Land Development Coordinator that this can only be done at the onset of the review process and not after engineering plans are approved. NOTE: All of the above will have to be opined on by the City Attorney for legal content and intent. 7) An invitation has been extended to the St. John's River Water Management District to have a representative present for the meeting of August 9, 1999. CHRONOLOGY: Please refer to the Land Development Coordinator Memo which is Attachment A of this agenda package. RECOMMENDA TION: The recommendation is that the City Commission approve the recordation of the plat and the covenants, with modification, for Parkstone Unit I. August 9, 1999 Commission Regular Agenda Item C Page 4 ATTACHMENT: A - Land Development Coordinator Memo to City Manager dated July 28, 1999 COMMISSION ACTION: ATTACHMENT A July 28, 1999 To: City Manager Thru: Community Development Directo~ Land Development Coordinato~ From: Re: Commission Meeting of July 26, 1999 Parkstone PUD, Recordation of Plat and Covenants The above referenced request to record the plat and covenants for the Parkstone PUD was tabled until further information could be obtained. Some of the items discussed was banning construction in the conservation easement along the lake, change the covenants, can the Commission invoke stipulations on already approved final engineering plans, etc. Further, you requested that I furnish a chronology of events for the PUD approval. CHRONOLOGY FOR PARKSTONEPUD July 5, 1995 - 1 st P&Z Meeting for rezoning to PUD and approval of the Master Plan August 2, 1995 - P&Z Public Hearing for the Master Plan August 28, 1995 - Commission approved the Master Plan and I st Reading for rezoning September 25, 1995 - Commission approved 2nd reading for rezoning December 11, 1995 - Commission granted 1 year extension to the Master Plan July 31, 1997 - Preliminary Engineering submitted for 396 lots September 3, 1997 - P&Z approved Master Plan revision reducing Tract C from 13 to 2 acres and redesignated Tract C & D from Flexible Land Use to Neighborhood Commercial and Professional Office December 8, 1997 - Commission granted variance to Section 9-157 of the Code to allow the sidewalks on private streets to meander in and out of the right of way January 7, 1998 - P&Z recommended approval of preliminary engineering with stipulations to be addressed during final engineering July 28, 1999 City Manager Page 2 January 26, 1998 - Commission approved preliminary engineering with stipulations to be addressed during final engineering March 26, 1998 - Final Engineering submitted June 9, 1998 - 43 lots withdrawn from final engineering until conflict with SJRWMD resolved November 23, 1998 - Commission approved final engineering April 9, 1999 - Final Engineering submitted for remaining 43 lots (Parkstone Unit 6) July 12, 1999 - Commission approved final engineering for the 43 lots At the meeting ofJuly 26, 1999, the question of revoking the riparian rights to the lake was discussed, as was the banning of all construction in the conservation easement. Riparian rights is defined in Florida Statutes, Chapter 253, Section 141 as follows: 253.141 Riparian rights defined; certain submerged bottoms subject to private ownership. (1) Riparian rights are those incident to land bordering upon navigable waters. They are rights of ingress, egress, boating, bathing, and fishing and such others as may be or have been defined by law. Such rights are not of a proprietary nature. They are rights inuring to the owner of the riparian land but are not owned by him or her. They are appurtenant to and are inseparable from the riparian land. The land to which the owner holds title must extend to the ordinary high watermark of the navigable water in order that riparian rights may attach. Conveyance of title to or lease of the riparian land entitles the grantee to the riparian rights running therewith whether or not mentioned in the deed or lease of the upland. (2) Navigable waters in this state shall not be held to extend to any permanent or transient waters in the form of so-called lakes, ponds, swamps or overflowed lands, lying over and upon areas which have heretofore been conveyed to private individuals by the United States or by the state without reservation of public rights in and to said waters. (3) The submerged lands of any nonmeandered lake shall be deemed subject to private ownership where the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of Florida conveyed the same more than 50 years ago without any deductions for water and without any reservation for public use and when taxes have been levies and collected on said submerged lands since conveyance by the state. July 28, 1999 City Manager Page 3 (4) Where private ownership of submerged bottoms outward from the shore has originated in a Spanish or other land grant approved by the Congress specifically describing an area in which was included navigable water, or by patent out of the United States prior to the date on which Florida became a state likewise containing a description including navigable water, or upon a valid conveyance out of the state, the submerged land included in such grant, patent, or conveyance shall be subject to taxes lawfully imposed. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 1990-2010, VOLUME 2 OF 2 Land Use Section GOAL 2) To preserve the natural drainage features within Winter Springs as assets complementing the residential and commercial areas. OBJECTIVE A) Perpetuation of the existence and benefit of natural drainage features, excluding them from being developed with uses that require the support of urban infrastructure. Policies 1) The land use classification Conservation is created, in concept, to apply to all natural drainage features, adhering to the limitations established by law to protect the rights of property owners. 2) The precise boundaries of land to be permanently classified Conservation shall be those jurisdictional lines prescribed by State agencies at the time of field review preparatory to engineering contiguous property for development. 3) The natural hydrological, topographical, biological and ecological functions of natural drainage features, creeks and wetland areas lying within the boundaries of the City shall be protected. The standards and provisions for protection shall include, but not necessarily be limited to the following: a. Require projects to cluster development away from wetland areas of the side and maintain upland buffers adjacent to wetlands. The minimum vegetative buffer requirement shall be twenty-five (25) feet upland from the wetland area. A larger buffer shall be required on a site-by-site basis when required to protect the July 28, 1999 City Manager Page 4 resource. The City shall follow the following criteria in determining whether a larger buffer is required are the extent and functional value of the wetland, and the density and intensity of the proposed development. b. Require all wetlands to be accurately identified at the time of site development review. Alteration of wetlands may be permitted, however specific mitigation standards in accordance with policies of the St. Johns Water Management District will be established to ensure no net loss of wetlands either by functional value or extent. c. Environmentally sensitive areas shall be covered by an environmental easement which restricts uses to passive recreational activities. The environmental easement may be dedicated by plat or by a separate instrument approved by the City. d. Require vegetative buffers around all lakes in order to protect water quality of these water bodies. The minimum upland lake buffer shall be fifty (50) feet. No fill shall be placed in lakes, except as permitted by applicable state, regional and federal agencies. Fill is defined as deposition, by any means of materials in waters, with the exception of naturally occurring material, which may deposit into waters by natural causes or means, and piers and piling supports authorized by permitting agencies. e. Provision of specific location standards for the construction of docks and other structures over lake areas. f. Wetlands shall be delineated on the site plan according to DER, SJRWMD, and USACOE definitions, whichever standard is more restrictive. Wetlands shall mean those areas established as jurisdictional by the above agencies. g. Developments adjacent to Lake Jesup shall not be permitted to include Light Industrial, or Commercial Land Uses. In addition to these restrictions, the following provisions to protect the natural functions of the Lake shall be established: 1. An upland buffer zone, to be a minimum width of fifty (50) feet, shall be provided between any development activity and the lake; 11. All development along the Lake shall be required to meet a more impervious surface ration standard. All development along the Lake shall July 28, 1999 City Manager Page 5 provide a minimum of 50% pervious surface. 111. No direct discharge of stormwater into the Lake shall be permitted, in accordance with criteria established by the SJRWMD. No new individual lots or parcels shall be created after the adoption of this plan that consist of such a high proportion of wetlands that development of the lot is impossible without filling or other disturbance of those wetlands. Where the developer documents that the site cannot be reconfigured to avoid alteration the wetland, the amount offill placed shall be limited to the minimum necessary for development. All structures in wetlands shall be place on pilings. No septic tanks shall be allowed within 75 feet of water bodies or wetlands. Water bodies are defined as stated in Section 403.911, Florida Statutes, as all freshwater lakes and ponds having a surface area in excess of 10 acres. Any alteration of wetlands that impairs wetlands, function shall be required to replace wetlands acre for acre, type for type, or as permitted the USACOE, SJRWMD and/or DER. The placement of docks, piers or boardwalks where a minimal amount of fill is used may be exempt from this requirement, unless there are permit requirements of other agencies. All proposals for development in the 100 year floodplain shall be required to redesign the site plan to avoid alteration in the 100 year floodplain. Where the applicant documents that the project cannot be completed without alteration of the 100 year floodplain, the project may be approved if all structures are placed on pilings with a minimum amount of fill. All structures shall be constructed so that the first floor elevation is above the 100 year floodplain. No septic tanks shall be permitted in the 100 year floodplain. No hazardous materials or wastes shall be stored in the 100 year floodplain. OBJECTIVE B) Through the year 2010, the City shall ensure the protection of natural drainage features and other natural resources such as native vegetative communities, historic resources and wildlife habitats, by providing for clustering of development on property proposed to be improved in exchange for preservation of natural resources, and permitting equivalent increased construction on remaining land owned by the same entity. Historical resources, wetlands and wildlife habitats shall be protected on development sites through requirements for buffering, and placement of such resources into permanent conservation easements. Land development regulations shall be adopted by the statutory deadline to enforce these objectives. July 28, 1999 City Manager Page 6 Policies I) The revised land development regulations, to be adopted by the statutory deadline, shall contain specific provisions and activities to be used by the City to protect environmentally sensitive lands. These provisions and activities shall include, but not be limited to the establishment of a Conservation Land Use district containing specific criteria on densities and intensities of uses, stormwater management and wetlands alteration and mitigation, waterfront development, and protection of unique upland vegetative communities, endangered and threatened species, and recharge areas. The development criteria for the Conservation Land Use District shall include: a. Residential densities shall not exceed (1) dwelling unit per five (5) gross acres. b. Non-residential activities shall be limited to passive recreational uses, as defined in the Recreational Element. ..... (remaining addresses transfer to the upland portion and development standards) Conservation Section GOAL OBJECTIVE B) Conserve natural resources within the City as perpetual assets. Policies I) The City's remaining wetlands, 1 DO-year floodplain, unique upland vegetative communities (i.e. hydric hammock bayheads and swamps), and endangered and threatened species habitats are designated as environmentally sensitive lands. The City shall create a Conservation Land Use Category implementing the conservation element land use objectives. These lands shall be subject to the standards for development of Policies B(1-8) and C(1-6) 2) Prohibit development dependent on urban infrastructure within land delineated to be July 28, 1999 City Manager Page 7 conservation, as determined by field review by State agencies of proposed engineering plans. 3) Allow installation of infrastructure and utilities passing across conservation lands when a greater public benefit can be demonstrated, such as roadways improving emergency response time, development of parks, or reducing housing costs. Infrastructure shall be located in areas that are least harmful to wetlands, wildlife habitats and other resources. For example, site design shall consider the impacts of disturbing contiguous wildlife habitat that would be harmed by the introduction of roads and clearing. All such projects shall be subject to the performance standards listed in Policies C(1) through C(6). Where such performance standards cannot be carried out without defeating the greater public benefits of the project, a mitigation plans shall be undertaken to replace any resource functions lost. 4) Promote dedication or conservatorship ofland adjacent to natural drainage features, by allowing such areas to be counted in calculating open space requirements, and by establishment of provisions for conservation easements in the land development regulations. 5) Require conservation easements to be recorded as part of all land development containing wildlife habitat utilized by endangered or threatened species protected under policy C(3), ] OO-year floodplains, and wetlands, when outright public ownership is impractical. Uses within conservation easements shall be limited to those allowed under Chapter 704.06, F.S. No new platting shall be approved that does not meet the natural resource protection standards of policies C(l) through C(6). 6) Verify all jurisdictional permits of Federal and State agencies have been acquired before development orders are issued by the City on properties adjacent to or including the natural drainage features including SJRWMD, FDER and USACOE permits for wetlands and water bodies, SJR WMD permits for stormwater management, and FEMA requirements for the 1 OO-year floodplain. In addition, the development order must be consistent with the policies for natural resource protection of this plan, included C(1-6). 7) Monitor and lend support to pro-active environmental projects affecting the City, such as the State's proposed plans to reclaim Lake Jesup and the County's acquisition of Spring Hammock by providing information needed for social, economic or other studies, requiring that all new development that drains into the Lake Jesup watershed adequately treat stormwater, ensuring that clearing of vegetation of wetlands adjacent to the 100-year floodplain, and surface waters are regulated in accordance with policies C(5 and 6) and ensuring future land uses are developed to be compatible with lake management goals. July 28, 1999 City Manager Page 8 8) All natural drainage features dedicated as parks shall be utilized for mainly passive recreation, such as picnics and walking. 9) In the passive recreation areas on the upper section of the City's community park on Lake Jesup include informational programs to identify and describe for park visitors the vegetative types and native creatures to be found there. 10) Existing natural reservations, such as Spring Hammock Preserve, shall be protected by ensuring that all development proposals for lands adjacent to the reservation provide adequate landscape buffering, building setback, stormwater management and other site desing criteria that will ensure the natural functions of the reservation are protected. OBJECTIVE C) Protect, conserve and appropriately use the remaining native vegetative communities, wildlife and wildlife habitat, particularly species designated as endangered, threatened or of special concern, and habitat utilized by those species, from destructive practices, through site plan review criteria requiring the species and habitat to be identified, requirements that protection of remaining habitat be enforced through development orders, and providing incentives for such protection. Policies I) Require conceptual engineering proposals to include identification and mapping of natural resources within property intended to be developed. This shall include: an inventory of plants and animals designated as endangered, threatened or species of special concern, and associated habitat required for the species to remain viable; and a mapping of sand pine scrub, pine flatwoods, long-leaf pine/turkey oak, sandhill, and scrubby flatwoods. 2) Ensure the following percentages of native vegetative communities are preserved undiminished by development or replaced on the site through mitigation plans. Upland communities identified pursuant to Policy (C) 1 where endangered or threatened or species of special concern are not known to inhabit the site shall be required to preserve or replace onsite 10% of the identified vegetation. 3) Ensure wildlife habitats known to be inhabited by species designated as endangered, threatened or species of special concern is undisturbed by construction through the following standards: July 28, 1999 City Manager Page 9 For projects where endangered, threatened or special concern species inhabit the site: the developer shall be required to develop a management plan to mitigate any adverse impacts to the species. The plan may include a site design plan incorporating clustering of buildings, underground parking, or underground drainage to reduce the area of land to be impacted. The plan shall be submitted to the FGFWFC for review. The developer shall preserve sufficient land as determined by FGFWFC to ensure the species remain viable on the site, unless the FGFWFC permits the developer to mitigate through off site relocation. 4) Increase the percentage conserved by providing for compensatory higher intensity activity elsewhere on property in return for exclusion of areas greater that (sic) the prescribed minimums to be left in the natural state. 5) Wetlands shall be protected through the enforcement of the following standards for new development and redevelopment: a. Wetlands shall be delineated on the site plan according to DER, SJRWMD and USACOE definitions, whichever is stricter. b. No new individual lots or parcels shall be created after the adoption of this plan that consist of such a high proportion of wetlands that development of the lot is impossible without filling or other disturbance of those wetlands. c. Development shall be clustered away from wetlands. All projects proposing alterations to wetlands shall submit documentation to the City that the project cannot be redesigned to avoid alteration to wetlands. d. A vegetated wetland buffer of 25 feet, depending upon site conditions shall be maintained between all structures and the wetland jurisdiction line. No more than 25% of the shoreline of any development parcel may be cleared, to provide access to the shoreline and/or view of the lake. e. Where the developer documents that the site cannot be reconfigured to avoid alteration of the wetland, the amount offill placed shall be limited to the minimum necessary for development. All structures in wetlands shall be placed on pilings, unless otherwise approved by jurisdictional agencies. No new septic tanks shall be allowed within 75 feet of water bodies or wetlands. July 28, 1999 City Manager Page 10 f Any alteration of wetlands that impairs wetlands functions shall be required to replace wetlands acre for acre, type for type, or as permitted by the USACOE, SJR WMD and/or DEP. The placement of docks, piers or boardwalks where a minimal amount offill is used may be exempt from this requirement, unless there are permit requirements of other agencies. 6) All proposals for development in the lOa-year floodplain shall be required to avoid alteration in the laO-year floodplain. Where the applicant documents that the project cannot be completed without alteration of the 100-year floodplain, by meeting the criteria established in Policies C(l) through C(6) of this element, the project may be approved if all structures are placed on pilings or filled with a minimum amount offill and compensating storage provided. All structures shall be constructed so that the first floor elevation is 18" above the lOa-year floodplain. No septic tanks shall be located within the lOa-year floodplain. Clearing of the floodplain vegetation shall be limited to 25% of the site. No hazardous materials or wastes shall be stored within the lOa-year floodplain. 7) The City shall seek to enter an interlocal agreement by December 1992 with Seminole County and all adjacent municipalities to address the conservation, use and protection of unique vegetative communities and water bodies which cross local government boundaries. Commissioner Blake alluded to Section 20-353 or 354 of the Code and stipulations the Commission could impose on a Planned Unit Development (PUD). Those sections are found in Part A of the Planned Unit Development and are for the older PUDs. Parkstone was formed under Part B of the Planned Unit Development and the correct section is Section 20-380. This section is similar to that found in Part A of the Planned Unit Development. It is my interpretation that these standards are to be imposed when reviewing all plans under Section 20-381 of the Code. The City Attorney would have to opine on all of the above. I only attempted to facilitate the compilation of information which I thought to be relevant to the issue. There may be more information that I am not aware of. The other issues raised, to the best of my recollection, had to do with the covenants. Is it your desire that I schedule an appointment with the developer to go over these? He has already publicly stated that he would not relinquish the rights to build docks. August 9, 1999 To: Mayor Commission City Manager. ~I . '~~7 Land Development Coordmator. ~-' From: Re: Parkstone Unit I Proposed Covenants Attached for your information is that correspondence received from Andrew V. Showen, Esquire, General Counsel, Southeast Region for CENTEX Homes as it relates to changes to be made to the proposed covenants for Parkstone Unit I. CENTEX has agreed to change Section 7.11.4 of the proposed covenants as suggested by Lockcuff(see attached LockcuffMemo to LeBlanc dated July 30, 1999). This section relates to irrigation and the drilling of wells. CENTEX has chosen not to change Section 6.8 of the proposed covenants. This section relates to the "reserve clause". This is to be considered at the Commission Meeting of August 9, 1999 and is under Regular Agenda Item C. cc: Community Development Director Public WorksfUtility Director b;E~T~~ ~yMES SOUTHEAST REGION 385 DOI.JOlr-:-; AvenuE: Andrew v.

City Engineer City of Winter Springs 1126 E. State Road 434 Winter Springs FL 32708 Re: Plat and DCCR Review - Parkstone Dear Mr. LeBlanc: \ Per our conversation of Wednesday afternoon, enclosed please find a revised page fqr the DCCR's in which we have changed Section 7.11.4 to add the "If the Irrigation S\ t . "I Y,s em IS... cause, We have considered the requested revision of 6.8 to change the term 'Working Capital" to reserve, We believe the underlying idea - to build in a check to assure that the homeowner-controlled HOA does not misapply the funds after turnover - is good in concept.' However, under Ch, 618, Fla. Stat., Centex, as developer, is materially restricted from imposing terms which would bind a future HOA board to spend (or not spend) money after turnover. Provisions in the DCCR's that could be construed as a developer veto over a homeowner-controlled Board decision, after turnover, are invalid under Ch. 618_ Accordingly, we think state law precludes us from implementing the desired change. Merely changing the name to "Reserve", without defining what the restrictions are, would not fix the potential problem, and would require other standard documents to be changed to be consistent. We appreciate the City's comments and hope the changed language will be satisfactory . 10f course, the present language already expressly requires the fund to be escrowed while Centex controls the HOA board and to be turned over when control passes to the homeowner controlled board, so there is a check against developer misappropriation. Board in accordance with Article 6, whether such Owner elects to use Irrigation 'Water or not. Ovvners who elect not to use Irrigation Water shall be obligated to pay the reservation or access fee, maintenance, operation and I'eserve cost portions of the Irrigation System Fees. 7.11.4. If the Irrigation System is installed, neither the Association, nor any Owner shall install or operate any irrig~tion system, apparatus or device that does not receive Irrigation Water from the Irrigation System. If the Irrigation System is installed, water may not be drawn from any lake or retention pond for irrigation purposes unless approved by the ACe, and approved by the City of Winter Springs and any other Goverrunental Authority having jurisdiction of such matters as evidenced by the issuance of a permit or other form of written authorization. Even if the City or other Goverrunental Authority issues its approval of such use, the Ace may refuse to allow an Owner to install or use pumps, lines or inigation systems that draw water from lakes or other bodies of water. If the Irrigation System is installed, no water wells shall be permitted on any Lot, Unit Ol' Common Property, except those wells belonging to the governnlental authorities, if any, and wells installed by the Declarant or its predecessors in title, or by the Association, which are for the purpose of providing a source of Irrigation Water for the Irrigation System.

THE MAYOR: FOR THE WORK SHOP. OKAY. IS THERE A SECOND ON THAT MOTION? MR. MCLEOD: MAY WE HAVE SOME DISCUSSION? THE MAYOR: YES. YES. MR. MCLEOD: THE WORK SHOP IS AT 6:30; IS THAT CORRECT? THE MAYOR: MR. MCLEOD: THAT'S CORRECT. WOULD WE CONTINUE OUR AGENDA BEFORE WE WENT TO THE WORK SHOP UNTIL 8:00 O'CLOCK? THE MAYOR: I BELIEVE SO. I THINK WE ALMOST HAVE TO. MR. MCLEOD: So THIS WOULD BE THE ONLY PRIORITY OF THE WORKSHOP? THE MAYOR: OH, VERY DEFINITELY. MR. MCLEOD: I .WOULD SECOND THAT.

COMMISSIONER GENNELL: AYE. THE CLERK: COMMISSIONER MCLEOD? COMMISSIONER MCLEO: AYE. THE CLERK: COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ? COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ: AYE. THE MAYOR: OKAY. THE MOTION PASSES. OKAY. LET'S COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ: I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I WOULD HAVE VOTED AYE BECAUSE BLAKE WOULD HAVE VOTED AYE ANYWAY. COMMISSIONER BLAKE: WELL, I DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE THIRD ANYWAY. THE MAYOR: ALL RIGHT. IN THE NEXT HALF HOUR, LET'S SEE IF WE CAN CLEAN UP SOME THINGS FAIRLY QUICKLY. ALL RIGHT. MR. HORAN. MR. HORAN: CONSIDERING THE DISCUSSION THAT OCCURRED WITH THE CITY COMMISSIONERS, I DISCUSSED THE MATTER WITH MY CLIENT AND CONDITIONED ON ACTION BEING, TAKEN THIS EVENING BY THE COMMISSION, HERE IS WHAT MY CLIENT IS WILLING TO DO. . 1 2 10 11 . 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 . PAGE 4 WE WILL GO AHEAD AND PUT SIGNAGE AT EACH LOT LINE AT WITH EACH ONE OF THOSE LOT LINES 3 AT THE 25-FOOT BUFFER. AND THE SIGN SHALL 4 SAY, DO NOT DISTURB UNDER PENALTY OF LAW, ST. 5 JOHN'S CONSERVATION EASEMENT. 6 WE'LL ALSO GO AHEAD AND AT EVERY CONTRACT 7 SIGNING, WE SHALL GIVE..A-COPY THAT THE 8 HOMEOWNER OR THE PERSPECTIVE PURCHASER MUST 9 INITIAL ALL OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT. WE WILL ALSO, AGAIN, AT CLOSING, HAVE IN OUR CLOSING PROCEDURES ANOTHER COpy OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT THAT .WE WILL REQUIRE THE .' ' PURCHASER TO INITIAL. WE WILL ALSO GO AHEAD -- COMMISSIONER BLAKE: IF I MAY INTERRUPT JUST ON THAT? , ; WOULD THAT BE A RECORDED DOCUMENT WITH THE INITIALS ON IT? MR. HORAN: WELL, THE CONSERVATION 20 EASEMENT IS ALREADY RECORDED. 21 COMMISSIONER BLAKE: WITH THEIR DEED WHEN 22 THEY CLOSE AND INITIAL IT, WOULD THAT DOCUMENT 23 WOULD BE RECORDED? 24 MR. HORAN: I WOULDN'T ADVISE ANYBODY TO 25 DO THAT BECAUSE. YOU'LL CREATE TITLE PROBLEMS . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 10 11 . 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 . PAGE 5 BECAUSE YOU'RE ALREADY DEALING WITH DOCUMENTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECORDED ONCE. THAT WOULDN'T BE WISE. WHAT WEILL DO IS, WE WILL GIVE THEM A COpy OF THE RECORDED CONSERVATION EASEMENT. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY WILL HAVE AN O.R. BOOK AND PAGE NUMBER ON IT."" ....'. '. 8 COMMISSIONER BLAKE: BUT 'WHAT WE'RE 9 LOOKING FOR IS SOME RECORDED PROOF THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED IT AND HAVE INITIALED IT. ONE OF ISSUES THAT I FIND, AND AS YOU MAY WELL BE AWARE OF IN YOUR PRACTICE, IS WHILE A RECORDED DOCUMENT EXIST, THE, SECOND, THIRD TIME THINGS GET SOLD, PEOPLE DON'T HAVE COPIES AND ARE NOT AWARE., THAT'S IGNORANCE AS FAR AS -- MR. HORAN: WE'LL PUT IT OUR RECORDS AS PART OF OUR CLOSING , DOCUMENTS. BUT I WOULD ADVISE AGAINST RECORDING IT AGAIN. YOU'LL CREATE TITLE PROBLEMS. . I .; . 4 MR. GUTHRIE: I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND A LEGAL 21 RECORDING THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT WITH EACH 22 CLOSING. I MEAN, IF THEY'RE MAKING SOME 23 REPRESENTATION, THAT THERE'S SOME CHECK THAT 24 YOU WANT TO DO THAT. 25 MR. BLAKE: IS, IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE . . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 ." PAGE 6 LANGUAGE ON THE DEED ITSELF THAT THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT -- MR. HORAN: THE LANGUAGE ON THE DEED ITSELF SAYS IT. COMMISSIONER GENNELL: IT SAYS EASEMENT. MR. SHOWEN: THIS IS ANDY SHOW EN FOR THE RECORD. WE WERE JUST TALKING, ONE POSSIBILITY MIGHT BE TO REQUIRE AN AFFIDAVIT ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT FROM THE BUYER AT THE TIME OF THE CLOSING AND RECORDING THAT AFFIDAVIT WITH ACCEPTANCE. WOULD THAT WORK? COMMISSIONER BLAKE: YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO HERE. MR. SHOWEN: I UNDERSTAND. YOUR TRYING TO GET PROOF OF RECORD THAT THE HOMEOWNERS RECEIVED A COpy OF THAT. COMMISSIONER BLAKE: EXACTLY. MR. HORAN: WE CAN DO THAT. COMMISSIONER BLAKE: THANK yOU. YOU. IN THE FORM OF AN AFFIDAVIT. BE FINAL. MS. GENNELL: I ,WAS GOING TO SUGGEST TO SEND A COpy TO THE CITY, BUT IF THEY'RE , i ' THANK THAT WOULD ! ' ," . . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 . PAGE 7 WILLING TO RECORD A SIGNED AFFIDAVIT, THAT'S FINE. MR. MCLEOD: QUESTION. WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SECOND PURCHASER WHEN THEY'RE OUT OF THERE, HOW DO THEY RECEIVE IT? MR. GUTHRIE: IT'S GOING TO BE A RECORDED RECORD THAT SHOWS UP. IF. THEY, ,DO A TITLE SEARCH AND TITLE INSURANCE. IT'S GOING TO BE -- I'M NOT SURE THEY'LL HAVE THE ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY CONTROL WHAT NOTICE THEY GET SUCCESSIVE -- MR. MCLEOD: BUT THE COMMISSION HERE I THOUGHT WAS TO PROTECT THE NOT FIRST BUYER BUT CONTINUING BUYERS. . SO ISN'T THE BY FILING CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING, TO FILE SO IT RUNS WITH THE PROPERTY? MR. GUTHRIE: IT.DEFINITELY RUNS WITH THE LAND. I THINK COMMIS9IONER BLAKE WAS CONCERNED, IT'S LIKE MANY, DOCUMENTS YOU GET AT CLOSING, THEY'RE THERE. AND YOU'RE BUYING THE LAND. THE RESTRICITIVE COVENANTS WOULD BE RECORDED ONE TIME AND THEY AFFECT ALL LOTS THAT ARE SOLD. AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GIVE COpy OF THEM IF THEY DO TITLE WORK. AS MOS1 SOPHISTICATED BUYERS OF LARGER PROPERTIES DO, . 1 2 3 4 10 11 . 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 . PAGE 8 THEY'LL BE REFERENCED IN THERE AND COPIES ATTACHED, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF. THE EASEMENT WILL BE THE SAME WAY. IT WILL RECORDED AGAINST THESE PROPERTIES AND 5 WILL SHOW UP IN ~HE CHAIN OF TITLE. 6 SO, LEGALLY, THEY'RE ON NOTICE OF ITS 7 EXISTENCE. , . I. ... . -, ., I , ',~ 8 MR. HORAN: AND, ACTUALLY, THEY'LL BE ON 9 DOUBLE NOTICE BECAUSE YOU'LL HAVE THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT RECORDED AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE THE AFFIDAVIT RECORDED. THE MAYOR: COMMISSIONER GENNELL. COMMISSIONER GENNELL: JUST A TECHNICAL QUESTION HERE. IF YOUR SIGN SAYS, DO NOT DISTURB, ST. JOHN'S CONSERVATION EASEMENT, WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US ON ,OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS' ,ENFORCEMENT ABILITIES IF YOU'RE POSTING IT BASICALLY AS A ST. JOHN'S PROPERTY? MR. GUTHRIE: IT'S THEIR EASEMENT. I 21 THINK IF WE BECOME AWARE OF A VIOLATION 22 THROUGH OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, I THINK 23 THEY SHOULD INFORM ST.JOHN'S BECAUSE THEY 24 REALLY HAVE THE RULES AND REGULATIONS, THEY'RE 25 THE ISSUER OF THE PERMIT, AND THEY HAVE THE ;. ',': . . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 .8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 . PAGE 9 ABILITY TO. WE REALLY DON'T. THE MAYOR: COMMISSIONER MCLEOD. COMMISSIONER MCLEOD: WHY DON'T YOU HAVE YOUR BASIC SIGN I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAS TO BE ON EVERY ONE OF THESE LOTS, BUT, SAY, 150 FOOT OR SOMETHING, SO YOU'RE NOT JUST SETTING UP THERE A BUNCH OF. SIGNS. - -.I MEAN, THAT'S JUST AS INTRUSIVE AS ANYTHING ELSE YOU'RE TRYING TO DO HERE. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A DISTANCE BETWEEN THESE SIGNS. BUT THE THING IS, THE SIGNS -- WHY DON'T YOU HAVE IT, THERE'S NO CUTT.~NG, OR TRIMMING OR CROSSING OF WITH ANY KIND OF A DOCKAGE WITHOUT THE PROPER PERMITTING FROM THE AUTHORITIES OF ST. JOHN'S WATER MANAGEMENT OR ANY -- YOU PUT PERMITTING BY ST. JOHN'S MANAGEMENT OR CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS. BECAUSE THERE MAY BE THINGS THAT ARE, IN OUR CODE THAT THEY MAY COME TO US FOR RATHER THAN ST. JOHN'S. THAT WAY THEY'RE AT LEAST CHECKING WITH THE CITY TO FIND OUT IN THE FUTURE WHAT THEIR REQUIREMENTS ARE AS WELL AS ST. JOHN'S WATER MANAGEMENT. MR. HORAN: SO JUST LEAVE OFF ST. JOHN'S . 10 11 . 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 . PAGE 10 1 OR JUST PUT DOWN DO NOT DISTURB, NO CUTTING, 2 TRIMMING -- 3 MR. MAYOR: LET ME JUST SUGGEST SOMETHING 4 FOR ALL OF US. WE'RE MICROMANAGING A LAW 5 HERE. THESE PEOPLE AREN'T -- 6 JOHN, YOU'RE INTELLGENT. FIGURE OUT 7 SOMETHING THAT MAKE SENSE... AND YOU CAN'T DO , ,. 8 THIS AT THIS POINT IN TIME. I THINK -- JUST 9 SOMETHING THAT MAKES SENSE. I DON'T THINK THIS KIND OF GROUP -- WHY DON'T YOU GIVE HIM SOME CONFIDENCE HERE. MR. HORAN: MY CLIENT'S POSITION ON THIS IS THAT COMMISSION KALEY COMMISSIONER GENNELL'S SUGGESTION WAS A GOOD ONE AND ONE THAT ACTUALLY MIGHT BE A GREAT IDEA FOR THE PROPERTY OWNERS TO ENHANCE THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY, SO THAT'S WHY WE DON'T HAVE AN OBJECTION TO PUT IT ON EACH LOT LINE AT THE 25-FOOT BUFFER AND WE THINK IT'S A GOOD 20 SUGGESTION. AND WE'RE GOING TO PUT LANGUAGE 21 THERE THAT'S NOT GOING TO LOOK STUPID AND IS 22 GOING TO GET THE MESSAGE ACROSS AND IS GOING 23 TO HAVE THE DESIRED EFFECT. 24 MR. MAYOR: IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH? 25 MS. GENNELL: I WOULD LEAVE IT AS . .4 10 11 . 12 13 14 15 16 17 . PAGE 11 1 SOMETHING THAT SAID AS BETWEEN THE CITY 2 MANAGER AND MR. HORAN. THE ONLY THING I WOULD 3 SAY IS, AS BRIEF AS POSSIBLE, BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO CITE ANYBODY, CITE THE TWO 5 AUTHORITIES. 6 MR. HORAN: OKAY. 7 COMMISSIONER GENNELL:- .THE CITY AND ST. 'I 8 JOHN'S. AND THAT WAY THE PEOPLE CAN GO EITHER 9 PLACE FOR THEIR DIRECTION OR BOTH. MR. HORAN: NO PROBLEM. AND THEN, FINALLY, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND DO A SEPARATE DISCLOSURE THAT SAYS THAT THE RESERVE CLAUSE BELONGS TO THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION AT CLOSING. : DUPUTY MAYOR GENNELL: THANK you. MR. HORAN: AND JUST MAKE THAT ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY CLEAR. 18 MS. GENNELL: THANK YOU. 19 MR. HORAN: CONDITIONED UPON GETTING AN 20 ACTION ON THIS MATTER TONIGHT, WE WILL DO 21 THOSE THINGS. 22 THE MAYOR: OKAY. EVERYONE SATISFIED WITH 23 THIS? 24 THEN I NEED A MOTION TO RECORDATION OF THE 25 PLAT AND CONVENANTS OF PARKSTONE UNIT I. .

COMMISSIONER GENNELL: I MOVE FOR APPROVAL AND RECORDATION OF THE PLAT FOR COVENANTS FOR PARKSTONE UNIT I. THE MAYOR: IS THERE A SECOND? COMMISSIONER BLAKE: ARE YOU INCORPORATING THE REPRESENTATIONS MADE .BY THE DEVELOPER THIS EVENING? MS. GENNELL: EVERY BIT OF IT. AND HE'S GOT VERBATIM.
