AGENDA NOTE: THE FOLLOWING REGULAR AGENDA ITEM WAS DISCUSSED NEXT, AS DOCUMENTED, FOLLOWED BY THE REST OF THE AGENDA. .:. .:. REGULAR AGENDA REGULAR 300. Parks And Recreation Department Requesting That The City Commission Review The Information In This Agenda Item And Decide If They Want To Implement Any New Policy(s) Related To Youth Team Practices At Trotwood Park. Mr. Chuck Pula, Director, Parks and Recreation Department presented this Agenda Item. Commissioner Gilmore suggested, "The other issue of night-time play turning headlights on - 1 would certainly think that the Police Department could - donate a few minutes at dark or dusk to go by the Park and make sure no one is doing this and if they are, have them turn them off and run them out of there. Can't this be done?" Commissioner Gilmore then asked, "Can the Police Department come by at dusk, and close it down?" Captain Glenn Tolleson, Police Department said that depending on available staff, "Typically, we would try to do that. And we will continue to make that a part of that zone. " Commissioner Miller noted, "Someone mentioned here tonight - we probably ought to have in the rules and regulations over there - and that is - if somebody is hitting golf balls in Trotwood Park, 1 think there ought to be a Notice up that says - and if they are doing that, they shouldn't be." In agreement, Commissioner Krebs stated, "Yes." Deputy Mayor McGinnis suggested a clarification be made related to "Dusk" and "Dark." Commissioner Krebs stated, "I was looking at 2., and it talks about the ending times for regular - the time is 8:00 p.m., and for Daylight Savings is 6:00 p.m." Commissioner Krebs mentioned, "I think it - might need to be reversed." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE70F3I Commissioner Krebs added, "I also agree with Commissioner Gilmore in what he had to say." Continuing related to Attachment 2, Commissioner Krebs remarked, "Maybe to Captain Tolleson's remarks, there should be something in there - 'Failure to abide by the rules could result in a permit termination'." Commissioner Brown suggested, "I wonder if we couldn't make this without making it too difficult for enforcement, if we couldn't make it a little bit more concrete, something along the lines of everybody has to be out by 'x' time, so that the residents know when everybody should be gone, would make enforcement easier, because anybody there after a certain time, whatever the designated time is, would be in violation and there wouldn't be the subjectivity of what is dusk, what is dark." Next, Commissioner Brown suggested, "I wonder if we couldn't make it a requirement that players not picked up immediately, have to wait with the coach in that circle area, before the field area. Whether we go forward and put a gate there so we can close the park at night or whether it is just in that circle area so that they are away from the homes and the lights can stay on at that point, and it wouldn' be quite the intrusion into the neighbors yards and properties." Mr. Pula responded, "We could definitely work with the Leagues III terms of the designated spot where they need to go - for pick-up." Commissioner Gilmore mentioned that "We just have to define what dusk is and that is when the sun goes below the horizon." Regarding whistles, Commissioner Gilmore added, "You could come up with a whistle that is - not heard for a quarter of a mile away but would certainly do the job for the players on the field and reach a standard on whistles rather than just letting somebody pick up - a whistle." Furthermore, Commissioner Gilmore suggested, "Come up with a standard whistle. My comment is define dusk for them and get them out at that time." Manager McLemore commented, "Our intent here to say that this Park is closed at a certain time and nobody can enter it, or are we trying to say that organized activity is over at a certain time?" Commissioner Krebs remarked, "Organized activity." Deputy Mayor McGinnis noted, "Yes." Commissioner Gilmore stated, "I would not use the word 'Organized activities'." Commissioner Brown suggested, "I think we need to just set a seasonal time, whether that be 6 [p.m.] or 7 [p.m.] or 8 [p.m.], so that we know when violations occur, and we can say with certainty whether they are, or not." Mayor Bush said to Mr. Pula, "Can you come up with that?" Mr. Pula responded, "We can but - it does create some problems." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 8,2007 PAGE 8 OF 31 Continuing, Mayor Bush remarked, "One of the things that Chuck [Pula] has mentioned here Commissioners, that we haven't talked about - the estimated seventy-five thousand dollars ($75.000.00) to put in landscaping which he thinks will be of some help." Commissioner Miller stated, "I think we should revisit that in four (4) months maybe." Commissioner Gilmore noted, "To help define when it is too dark to play, you could very easily put a photocell up there or a couple of them, so that when they turn on the lights, that is an indication that it is time to quit playing and those could be calibrated accordingly." Deputy Mayor McGinnis remarked, "That is a good idea." Mayor Bush said, "With all the recommendations, Commissioner Miller has recommended - from 120 to 180 days before this is revisited with changes - we suggested. " COMMISSIONER MILLER ADDED, "WE COULD REVISIT THE BERM AND THE TREEING AND ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE STILL A PROBLEM WITH, THE ENHANCED ENFORCEMENT THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY GOT." COMMISSIONER MILLER ADDED, "THAT IS A MOTION _ 180 DAYS." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER MILLER. MAYOR BUSH STATED, "COMMISSIONER GILMORE SECONDED IT." DISCUSSION. DEPUTY MAYOR McGINNIS SAID, "AT THE END OF THAT PERIOD, WE WOULD WANT FIRM STATISTICS AND NUMBERS ON HOW THIS HAS WORKED." COMMISSIONER MILLER ADDED, "IF WE ARE GETTING COMPLAINTS - THE PEOPLE WANT TO COME BACK AND REVISIT THIS, WE WILL TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT IT." COMMISSIONER KREBS ADDED, "I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT _ COMMISSIONER MILLER'S MOTION WAS - YOU WERE GOING TO WORK OUT, WHATEVER YOU WERE GOING TO WORK OUT, AND YOU WERE GOING TO REVISIT ALL THE REST OF THE STUFF." VOTE: COMMISSIONER BROWN : AYE COMMISSIONER GILMORE: AYE DEPUTY MAYOR McGINNIS: AYE COMMISSIONER KREBS: AYE COMMISSIONER MILLER: AYE MOTION CARRIED.

Parks And Recreation Department Requests That The City Commission Reviews The Bid Document Information (Plans), Staff Comments, And Schedule For Construction Of The Senior Center Addition And Therapy Pool. Manager McLemore introduced this Agenda Item. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE 120F31 Mr. Bill Starmer, Architect, Starmer, Ranaldi Planning and Architecture (sri), 890 Northern Way, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke on this project and specificically mentioned the planned doubling of the size of the current space and so this middle third is almost literally a doubling of the meeting area, so that you can expand the capacity that you currently have, as well as have a couple of activities going on at the same time. So, we actually have a dividing wall that will go between them. The back third and facing the park area is a therapy pool. This therapy pool has gone around several revelations and revolutions if you will, starting from a simple covered outdoor pool that was not air-conditioned, was not enclosed. We have gone the full circuit and we have studied some of the facilities that have been built in not only Central Florida, but the southeast. And, really we have come up with a facility this is a fully enclosed, heated therapy pool. It has jets, it has ramps, it has ways to get the disabled people in the water, out of the water. And effectively, it is an enclosed room. Budget wise, I think we started on this about eighteen (18) years ago, and your Budget was a little over a half a million. It's grown to a little over eight hundred thousand when we started the pool. Now that it is enclosed, I think we are looking at something on the order of $1.2 [million dollars] - $1.4 [million dollars] depending on the construction costs and how we arrive at that. In addition to the improvements to the building itself, we are adding a parking lot in the back. The simple purpose of that parking lot is to give additional parking on the site overall, but also to get the seniors into that back area where the therapy pool is - they will be the primary users." Continuing, Mr. Starmer noted, "If we go to some of the DRC (Development Review Committee) and aesthetic issues, John Baker (AICP, Senior Planner, Community Development Department) has a list of comments that we've also reviewed. We are in the process of responding to them. John's [Baker] comments are more on the planning side and they deal with setback issues; they deal with sidewalk and accessibility; they deal with landscaping, and I want to caution you, that when we started this project, we limited our Budget to the building alone. We weren't even going to do any site work. So, although we agree with those comments, and I think you'll find that our response will say that we agree to those comments; we would like to suggest to the City that that be a second phase of this project, that we go ahead and authorize the first phase which is basically the building and the parking lot to accommodate landscaping and the sidewalk accessibility in the second Phase. And then we can document when that second Phase needs to happen. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE 13 OF 31 Similarly, I think with the building Aesthetic Review, we've got Eloise's comments. We have actually accommodated some of those. Those comments range again from adding windows to adding a covered porte-cochere, to adding a covered entry, to dealing with building materials and trying to make sure that it's compatible with existing facility. Obviously, we're building a facility as an addition to an existing, so we'll match materials. We have added a covered entry and will address that with Eloise and our response to her review comments. I would say that we've also identified and will agree with all of her comments probably with the exception of two (2). One (1) is that she was suggesting, and again I think it was just a suggestion, I don't think it's a demand, that there be a covered porte-cochere and basically, the porte-cochere for all you French speaking engineers, the thought is that since this is a circular drive in a parking area, that there actually be a covered drive through, where literally you can drive a car underneath it, get out of the car and in a dry environment and get into the facility. Great idea, cost some money, we're not sure that it was ever included or intended to be in part of the Budget. If the Commission - chooses or chose to, we can certainly incorporate that. We would just want to make a guarantee that we're not held liable for all the senior citizens and their Buicks when they drive through that. The other thing that I think Eloise [Sahlstrom] suggested - the second thought was and I agree and some degree - she wanted some additional windows more on the south side facing the parking lot. Again, security-wise so you can see what is going on. It is a good idea. The way the building is set up and designed and sorry about the poor graphics - this is the pool area in back. And what we chose to, and this is really Susie's [Coffman, Senior Center Manager, Parks and Recreation Department] recommendation as well as Chuck [Pula], is let's focus that pool towards the park. Let's focus that pool towards the pond, towards the playground, towards the wooded area. So, all our windows are on this west and north side. What we have on this side are restrooms, mechanical rooms that support the pool, so really it is very difficult to introduce windows on this side. And of course, we will discuss that with her but, I don't think that is a deal breaker." Commissioner Miller said, "I like the French entrance that you are talking about. 1 would like to see more on that. This is something we are going to build once and we probably are not going to be able to address it again for the next ten (10) to fifteen (15) years." Referring to the Drawing A2.1, Commissioner Miller stated, "I was wondering if it might be possible before this goes to final bid, to make some alterations somehow, to really give this some definition because it is in the neighborhood and people are going to be looking at this for a long time, and I think we should seriously look to putting something to break up that roof line, if possible. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE 14 OF 31 If the rest of the Commission wants to think about it too and they support that, fine. I understand there are financial issues here, but again, this is something we are going to do this time and we are not going to address this again for many, many years. So, if we are looking at a couple of thousand or more to do something with that roof line, I think we ought to do it now, because once it goes to bid, I think it is probably too late." Mr. Starmer said, "I certainly agree with you, Bob [Miller]. I mean, you are looking at a facility that you would like to enhance as much as you can. The bottom line is the majority of the facilities up there are old and antiquated - if we were to be asked whether we'd put an addition on this again, I would probably say 'No' you're better off razing it or leveling it because of the cost that you have, you are trying to make it an attractive building. If we were to add a porte-cochere, basic dimensions of a car vehicle and the width that it takes to go from the building to cross the lane, you are probably talking something that is in the order of twenty- twenty-two feet [20-22'] wide by about sixty feet (60') long. It is about 1200 square feet, we are guessing that in today's construction costs where you are looking at a one hundred-fifty to two hundred thousand (150-$200,000.00) dollars a square foot for an enclosed building, if you apply half of that to a porte-cochere you are probably looking at somewhere between seventy (70) and eighty thousand dollars ($80,000). The enhancements on the roof line - you are talking to an Architect. We would certainly love to put some gables in there, maybe get some clerestory, introduce some daylight into the existing facility. But, you are looking at somewhere on the order of ten to fifteen thousand dollars ($10-$15,000.00) for every time you disrupt that metal roof line with additional framing." Commissioner Miller said, "The existing building is there I suppose?" Mr. Starmer said, "Correct." Commissioner Miller said, "So, all this is going to be brand new." Mr. Starmer said, "Correct." Commissioner Miller then said, "So, your earlier comment about having to build on existing structure which is old, really would not relate to this section here. This is not going to be touched..." Mr. Starmer said, "... Correct.. ." Commissioner Miller continued, "... You are just going to attach the building right there and then go this way. Again, I would like to see you come back with some proposals and if it is going to cost money, I would like to see what the estimates are. I think we have the money in our General Fund, it is just a question of whether or not we want to do it." Discussion. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE IS OF 31 Mr. Starmer said, "Greg [Bishop] brings up a very valid point. Part of the beauty of a pre-engineered metal building is repetition simplicity. And that is how we kept this in the one hundred-fifty dollar ($150.00) square foot range instead of the two hundred-fifty dollar ($250.00) square foot range. We start playing with that roof, we are going to start - destroying the economy of the pre-engineered metal building. Your question is timing wise, actually it is two-fold. Can we make enhancements, 'Yes', 'How long will it take?'. I don't know. Why don't we decide what the enhancements are, and I will get back with you in a day or two (2) and let you know." Manager McLemore said, "The enhancement that I am hearing is - they want some changes in the roof line of the building to give it some - just tell us if you all want to go down that road or not; with one of them or both of them and if you want to go down that road, then we are going to make it work." Commissioner Miller said, "I would like to go down that road with both of them." Commissioner Krebs also noted, "Yes, I want to go down that road. But, I also had a question that was mentioned about sidewalk accessibility and Phase 2. When you say sidewalk accessibility to - the therapy pool?" Mr. Starmer said, "If you look at this Site, this is a Park. It is dedicated to the people. There is no sidewalk leading into this park. The only way you can get in is drive in your car, get out of your car and then get on the sidewalk, or walk down the driveway. So, the thought was - we have a sidewalk along Edgemon [Avenue], we ought to at least bring a sidewalk into the property, now what do you do. Does the sidewalk just stop in the parking lot, then you go on asphalt, and what is the purpose?" Furthermore, Mr. Starmer remarked, "But, the thought is if we do that, and I think we should, we ought to pay service to those things that we require other people to do and that is pedestrian accessibility. So, I think what we do is we put a sidewalk in here, and then if nothing else maybe we enhance the asphalt by putting some ribbon curves, maybe we put some pavers, maybe we put in stamped embossed or colored asphalt to say, 'Here is the sidewalk, follow me'. And, the second part of your question is, the building is fully accessible today and will remain so, and so will the new entry." Commissioner Gilmore asked Manager McLemore, "Since we are on a tight schedule, and budget-wise, could that not be put in later as a separate item and not as part of this project?" Manager McLemore said, "I think it going to be a necessity that we do that and I think we both recognize and you've articulated it here, you feel the same way. We need to do that. Here is our dilemma as I understand it and please correct me if! am wrong. We're trying to get this project in under a wire, a deadline. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE 16 OF 31 If we start adding additional concrete, then we have to go back to the [St. John's River] Water Management District which we try to avoid and get into a 60-90-120 day process with them. So, what we're recommending is we not do that as part of this but, start the process of doing it as a separate project that won't slow this up. If you agree - the sidewalk is something we should do." Commissioner Gilmore asked, "Relative to the porte-cochere - you have coming out of here in the design, is it there now to have the covered walkway out of there?" Mr. Starmer said, "The original design just had a doorway. It had no canopy, etc. We have added a covered entry that is probably eight feet (8') out from the building but maybe twelve feet (12') wide. So, it's a little spot to go in and out of the building to stay dry." Discussion continued on the porte-cochere, to which, Commissioner Gilmore suggested, "Would we not be better off to have it right here - to get more use than back here, because the majority of the people going in here are going into the swimming pool, whereas they are coming in for the use of the meeting rooms." With further discussion, Deputy Mayor McGinnis asked, "Can you just add things?" Mr. Starmer said, "You can." Mr. Starmer further explained, "Well, I think - we will do it in such a way that it fits with the overall architecture - you will just pay a little bit of money for it." Deputy Mayor McGinnis said, "Good. I like that. It is a good idea." Commissioner Brown asked, "Since this is a pre-fab[rication] or pre-constructed metal building, do they not make bolt-on architectural dormers of some kind, so that we would not have to go back and re-engineer the whole building, but could bolt-on the enhancements to the roof line?" Mr. Starmer said, "We can make improvements to the building. I wouldn't say that they are going to be bolt on standard off the shelf things. We make improvements to the shell without steering totally away from pre-engineered metal buildings. Yes." With further discussion and referencing the entrance, Mr. Starmer said, "Effectively, I understand what you are saying about the front entry and the porte-cochere getting more use out front. What would happen if we put the porte-cochere, which is down here versus back here, where we currently have it planned, you now have to walk through this meeting room. There is no corridor that would take you back to the pool area. So, you would disrupt this space by having people walk through it. If you leave it here, it is going to be a little bit more cost effective because it is new construction. We can deal with new construction and I don't have to add it on to an existing condition. And I walk in and there is a lobby here. Once I get in this lobby, I can do one of three (3) things. I can go to the pool area; I can go to this meeting room, or I can walk down the hall into this meeting room. So, I really have accessibility. I know it makes sense to do it at the front door." Discussion. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 8, 2007 PAGE 17 OF 31 Commissioner Krebs asked, "Where is the parking lot in relation to - the porte-cochere?" Mr. Starmer said, "The covered drive-thru if we put it back here, and then this is the parking lot that would support it." Commissioner Krebs said, "And I think that makes good sense right there. And by the way, I do like the front of the building, the way it looks. I do think it looks nice." Manager McLemore said, "For the Seniors, it might be nice if you had it at both places and maybe we could suggest that to come back with sidewalks and maybe that addition to the front of the building as another project. But, we need to get moving on this project. No - leave it in the back, and come back - with our future project to add it to the front and do the sidewalks and stuff as a separate project in the future." Deputy Mayor McGinnis said, "Absolutely. We cannot slow it up and we can always modify the front." Furthermore, Manager McLemore remarked, "At Bid time, we will have the options for you to choose. Discussion. "I would like to make a Motion that we adopt the change, the plan with the changes that were made and that we get one (1) or two (2) separate - proposals that will come back addressing the porte-cochere and the roof line." Motion by Commissioner Miller. Manager McLemore said, "Mayor, this was an Informational item. All we need is a Consensus. " Commissioner Krebs said, "Okay." Deputy Mayor McGinnis said, "Yes. " Commissioner Miller added, "It would be that we accept all of the comments." Mayor Bush asked, "Do we have Consensus?" Deputy Mayor McGinnis said "Yes." Commissioner Krebs remarked, " Yes.

Commissioner Miller said, "I don't have any problem if you want to do it there. That is fine with me. " Deputy Mayor McGinnis noted, "We need to do it before school is out."

But I am not sure if that was understood when that person came up to speak, because he got three (3) minutes, so I don't know what the Policy is on the Commission, but maybe we want to make a Policy - that either we don't allow the yielding of Minutes, extra minutes; that if you have something to say, you say it, in your time? But, that you are not going to be able to yield three (3) minutes to another person, giving them six (6) minutes, and then nine (9), twelve (12)."

" Continuing, Commissioner Krebs mentioned, "My suggestion is when the Meeting is over, a phone call goes to the Police Department, they know that the Clerk will be out within - the Clerk or whoever is holding the Meeting will be out in fifteen (15) minutes or whatever and they are here to assist in - that."

Commissioner Krebs added, "It talks about some type of a development." Mayor Bush noted, "A citizen contacted me about this." Ms. Sahlstrom explained, "We had a pre-application meeting with the Property Owner where they came in and were proposing townhouses. That area is very wet.

Commissioner Krebs suggested, "I am thinking, even if we had - a Resolution of some sort, we could send that to the State." Mr. Fields stated, "We invited Robert King to come make a brief Presentation at the next Meeting to - re-introduce Friends of Lake Jesup, and give an overview of the activities they are involved in. Then maybe at that Meeting, you could invite him to a Special Meeting and schedule it then and let him know which topics you want to explore." Mayor Bush noted, "I think that is a good idea."

" Commissioner Brown then stated, "I think the time is appropriate, now that we are going to be able to broadcast our Meetings." Mayor Bush noted, "5: 15 [p.m.] start time, ten o'clock [p.m.] would be the end time." Commissioner Krebs added, "If it is a problem with 'Public Input', then perhaps we can hold 'Public Input' at the end - or something like that." Furthermore, Commissioner Krebs suggested, "What you could do, is you could also rearrange when we have - our Informational [Agenda] and our Consent [Agenda], maybe bring that even forward." Commissioner Krebs added, "'Public Hearings', we could reschedule - at a time." Mayor Bush then said, "It will be on the Agenda next time."

In conclusion, Commissioner Gilmore mentioned, "I would like to see us pursue this further, let's not drop it." Manager McLemore noted, "That was kind of what Brian was going to propose to you tonight - really be more of a Workshop." Manager McLemore noted, "We can re- schedule that.
