SPECIAL MEETING CITY COMMISSION CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MONDAY, MAY 16, 1988 The Special Meeting of the City Commission of the City of Winter Springs, Florida, was called to order by Mayor Leanne M. Grove at 7:30 p. m. Roll Call: Mayor Leanne M. Grove, present Deputy Mayor Arthur Hoffmann, present City Manager Richard Rozansky, present City Attorney Frank Kruppenbacher, present Commissioners: Cindy Kaehler, present Arthur Hoffmann, present Philip A. Ku1bes, present Martin Trencher, present The Invocation was given by Commissioner William A. Jacobs. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was led by Commissioner Martin Trencher. Oak Forest - Units 6, 7 and 8: City Engineer Leonard Koz10v spoke in reference to the problems in Oak Forest Unit 6. There have been recurring problems primarily in the total resolution of the storm water management system. The project was approved in October 1985 with a gabion basket system, which did not hold up and then a control structure was installed. Now there is the problem that the retention ponds are not drawing down after 72 hours. Mr. Koz10v has requested revised as-bui1ts but as yet has not received anything. Mr. Koz10v recommended that the engineer present some kind of a corrective punch list that we are concerned with and a timetable as to when these things would be resolved. . At the time of the approval (Oct. 1985) Commission allowed itself the prerogative of extending the maintenance bond another 2 years if the gab ion basket design did not work. The amount of the bond is $60,000 which represents 10% of the cost to install the paving, drainage and the infrastructure of the subdivision. The bond expires August 1, 1988. Mr. Charles True, engineer for the project, explained that a letter has been requested from the St. John's Water Management District directly to the City explaining what they will accept or will not accept in the way of a draw-down underdrain. If the City agrees, Be1-Aire will go in and install the necessary underdrains in accordance with Water Management District's criteria. Attorney David Brown and Mr. Roy Dye, Be1-Aire Homes, explained they are working on trying to resolve the problems, and are willing to solve the problems. After discussion, Mr. Koz10v recommended we have a timetable to impose upon the developer as to the accomplishment of the various things that have to be resolved such as the water problem in the retention ponds, the problems in the infrastructure as stated in his letter of May 10th and updated as-built engineering in regard to the retention pond. Mr. Koz10v stated for the record, that he has not received engineering with the control structure and any underdrains. Mr. Koz10v said he does not have any idea as to the length or position of the underdrains as he has no engineering on them. . Attorney Kruppenbacher suggested a meeting be held with Mr. True, Mr. Brown, Mr. Koz10v, Mr. Rozansky and himself to discuss the timetable, and what information Mr. Koz10v needs. Then on Monday evening this can be brought to the Commission with a recommendation to resolve it or the recommended action. Special Meeting, City Commission, Monday, May 16, 1988 Page 2 87-88-15 4It Commissioner Trencher listed the 5 issues as follows: 1. Retention areas on the north side of Baltic Lane have not been properly resolved regarding wet bottom conditions. 2. At street address 1188 Endeavor Drive the road surface around an existing sewer manhole has settled significantly thus causing a potential hazard. This road surface should be corrected so that the manhole is flush with the pavement. 3. At street address 1182 Endeavor Drive the road surface has noticeably eroded. Will you resurface this area? 4. At Lot 604 the control structure in the retention pond at the rear of the property has a pipe directly connected from the pond to the discharge structure thus not properly providing the required retention of storm water and in turn providing a direct discharge from the retention/detention pond to the swamp. It will be necessary to immediately remove the pipe so as not to circumvent the control structure and come into legal compliance with the City and State regulations. 5. At street address 1175 Baltic Lane visible evidence of soil cement rising to the road surface would lead us to believe that the underdrains installed along the road are not functioning properly and adequate asphaltic surface was not provided or perhaps a combination of both. Mr. Kozlov said those were the items covered in his letter of May 10th, and there is also the issue of the retention/detention pond and the need for a timetable. There is also the problem of the trees which Mr. Kozlov said he left up to Mr. True and the individual homeowners to resolve. 4It Attorney Kruppenbacher suggested that if the homeowners have a representative he should attend the meeting so as they go through the issues, the representative would know how they are being resolved. Mr. Ferring, Baltic Lane, the resident of 1170 Baltic Lane, Mr. Ivy of Baltic Lane, the resident of 1175 Freedom Lane, Michael Diamond, Venture Court, Jim Mickle of Freedom Lane, Bill Wood, Venture Court, Mr. Torello, Venture Court all spoke about their problems. The meeting was called for Wednesday, May 18th at 8:00 a.m. at City Hall. Mayor Grove recessed the meeting at 9:20 p.m. and called the meeting back to order at 9:30 p.m. Impact Fee Agreement: City Manager Rozansky said he had a short meeting with the Chairman of the County Commission and Mr. Ken Hooper. Commission has been given a copy of the draft to review. Manager Rozansky said he did pass on to the Chairman the fact that the City has a problem with Tuscawilla Road and the fee structure. After discussion it was decided to send a letter to the County saying the City of Winter Springs is prepared to enter into an inter-local agreement that provides for the committee concept of operation with the committee recommendation being the controlling factor on the project in disbusement of funds, etc. and Tuscawilla Road to be improved, the entire road from SR 426 to SR 434 in the year 1995. Mayor Grove will attend the meeting on Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. 4It Meeting was adjourned 10:30 p.m. Approved: ~'1h LEANNE M. GROVE ,MAYOR Respectfully submitted, ~'r~ City Clerk
