The Workshop consisted of a presentation of the Regional Planning
Council report by Carl Gosline and subsequent discussion.
The report contained three basic elements:
1. An evaluation of existing and committed development.
2. An analysis of the impact of the Crooked Creek Develop-
ment.
3. Land use alternatives for the Gee Creek Drainage Basin.
r
The major discussion was as follows:
1. At this point in time, the City has lost its ability to
control the rate of development.Because of the amount of committed development
within the City limits, the market will control the. rate at which Winter Springs
will grow. The only way to regain the control is to adopt a comprehensive plan
and change the zoning, etc. to conform to that plan.
2. The report should be forwarded to the Planning Commission
to be incorporated into the Comprehensive plan.
3. The choice of land uses must tie tack into the established
Goals and Objectives.
4. The land uses within the Gee Creek Basin should be
coordinated with the jurisdictions to the South that govern other parts of the
Basin.
5. There is no established "rule of thUlllb" for transition
of densities and land uses, although landscaping can be a most effective tool in
this area.
6. The Mayor's office should send a letter of thanks and
commendation to the Council for the excellent report.
