Councilman Browning tbanked the police chief and all the policemen for all their efforts and services they rendered this past year. Attorney Howard Marsee reported on the settl..nt of the lawsuit with the Seminole Baptist Temple. He felt the following proposal is the best we could get from the Seminole Baptist Temple. 1. Winter Springs would agree to leave the conditional use permit status as it now stands, that is granted. The City would lift the building permit freeze and allow them to build in accordance with the conditional use permit. 2. Seminole Baptist Temple and Winter Springs would each bear all their own cost of litigation to date. 3. Seminole Baptist Temple would dismiss this lawsuit with prejudice. 4. Seminole Baptist Temple would abide by all applicable building codes and land use codes as they would relate to the church, specifi cally section 44.30 and 44.31 of the city code. 5. This was a point that I did not feel was negotiable; I don't think if this COUllcil chose to do so that they could grant an exception to these terms. These terms relate to setbacks, off street parking, sidewalks, building heights, but this should be spelled out in any settlement agreement. That would require the Church and they have agreed to spell out an agreement that they would abide by this: 35 foot front yard setbacks; 25 foot rear yard setbacks; off-street parking - 1 parking space for each eight seats plus one parking space for each Church official resident on the premises; sidewalks would be installed by tha Church on all streets abutting Church buildings and as to building height regulations, no building or structure shall exceed 25 feet in height. 6. Bach side woul.:execute a settlement agreement and the lawsuit would be dismissed. Motion was made by Councilman Daniels that Mr. Howard Marsee be directed to enter into tbe necessary agreements with Seminole Baptist or.,1e to settle out of court this suit that we have against us in accordance with the teras that he has just outlined. Seconded by Councilman Hendrix. Discussion. Vote on the motion: Councilman Hunter, aye; Councilman Hendrix, aye; Councilman Daniels, aye; COUllcilman Van Xepoel, absent; Councilman Browning, aye; motion carried. " ...-/ r'. ,-...
