Regarding the lake in Oak Forest, much discussion ensued on access; discussions with the County; easements; and that a wrought iron gate be considered. Commissioner David W. McLeod stated, "I would like to direct the City Manager to look into this and contact Mr. McCollum, at the County level and tell him that we are interested in the letter we've received - it says that McCollum's answer stated that 'should the City ask him to do so, but only if the City requested a curb-cut.' I think we need to request a curb-cut on Tuskawilla Road, and also then we need to request from Mr. Allen an easement for access treatment only, of that lake." Discussion. Manager McLemore, and members of the Commission next discussed trees; easem'tmts; encumbrances; a possible gate opening, and whether the Oak Forest Advisory Committee should be involved.

Discussion followed on possibly having a Special Meeting of the Oak Forest Advisory Committee; the contractor's current schedule; getting information back to the Commission; and encroachments. The consensus of the Commission was that they agreed with Commissioner McLeod's comments, and to take it to the Assessment Board first - prior to this Commission. Deputy Mayor Cindy Gennell added, "If it's necessary for this to come before us again, I would like to see it as an Agenda Item, please." Mayor Partyka clarified, "Mr. McLemore will handle whatever has to be handled to take this to the Assessment Board of Oak Forest." Regarding Ms. Krebs second concern, discussion ensued regarding the status of revisions to the Code Book, and the City Clerk explained the current revision process.

Tape I1Side B Mr. Fernandez also asked about moving the trail "Closer to the lake shore of Lake Jessup, and take the trail away from right beside 434 and 419." Discussion. Commissioner Martinez commented on the Police being aware of litter problems within the City. Discussion ensued on policies or Ordinances dealing with cleaning up the City. Commissioner Robert S. Miller suggested that signs be installed which identify and compliment individuals who assist with beautifying local roads. Mr. Mervin Werner, 673 Keuka Court, Winter Springs, Florida: mentioned several vehicles which were in violation of the Commercial Vehicles Ordinance, and inquired as to the status of the following violations: 1788 Otisco Way; 1782 Otisco Way; and on Lamoka Court, there is a vehicle with a ladder on top of the vehicle.

Mr. Bill Fernandez, 250 Panama Road East, Winter Springs, Florida: as a member of the Planning and Zoning BoardILocal Planning Agency addressed Section 20-359; stated that Staff does "Not present us with the Preliminary Development Plan;" that Preliminary Development Plans are not retained; Final Development Plans; and "That it is impossible for our Board to make a finding as to whether or not it's substantially con'sistent with the plan, which we do not have in front of us;" Section 20-358; that the Land Development Regulations will be reviewed and hopefully passed. Commissioner Martinez stated "Point of Order. I have a lot to say on this item. If we want to discuss it now, let me know, so we can -..." Commissioner Martinez then stated that he was concerned with a lack of communication between Staff, the Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency, and the Commission. Mayor Partyka stated, "Alright. That's it in terms of 'Public Input,' so I'll close the 'Public Input' portion ofthis - part of the Meeting and move this on to "Consent." .:. .:.

Community Development Department - Land Development Division Presents To The Commission The Request Of Donald W. McIntosh Associates, Inc., To Eliminate The Deceleration Lane At The Westernmost Commercial Entry And State Road 434 At The Parkstone PUD. Mayor Partyka:. "I am looking for a Motion to approve the Consent Agenda." Commissioner Martinez: "How about questions?" Mayor Partyka: "Okay. Commissioner Blake?" Commissioner Blake: "Just a quick question on Item 'A," regarding the 'decel' lanes..:" Mayor Partyka: "Okay. Any other questions on the Consent Agenda?" ,Commissioner Martinez: "Yes." Mayor Partyka: "Which one?" Commissioner Martinez: "Item 'A. '" Mayor Partyka: "Okay." Commissioner Martinez: "And that's it." Mayor Partyka: "Okay. Alright. Good. Alright, we'll just handle - there's only two items, so we might as well handle 'A' - get that handled. Commissioner Blake?" Commissioner Blake: "Thank you Mayor. Are you handling this?" Mr. Don LeBlanc, Land Development Coordinator: "Yes sir, I wrote the Agenda Item." Commissioner Blake: "There's no way the State will allow us to require them to put in that 'decel' lane?" Mr. LeBlanc: "Mr. McLemore has been talking with Mr. McIntosh and Mr. McIntosh's letter stating - that they'd been negotiating with them for eight months to try to get the deceleration lane built, and they would not let them. In his opinion, after eight months, Tallahassee is the approval authority, and that they will not give them that permission. Now, a deceleration lane is not required. It was put in there and - I rode up and down 434 from the GreeneWay to the intersection of 419 and 434. There are two 'decel' lanes, one of them in the - westbound lane entry to Parkstone, and the other one is the entry into the school bus barn." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MA Y 22, 2000 PAGE 7 OF 33 Commissioner Blake: "I understand. If you'll recall, frequently we have the folks who live in Winding Hollow come before us asking what are we doing, and when are they going to have a 'decel' lane coming into Winding Hollow. . ." Mr. LeBlanc: "They - Winding Hollow had one when it was two-Ianed. When it was four-laned, they omitted it..." Commissioner Blake: "Well - part of the problem is that - on the drawing that I have here, it doesn't appear to me that the 'decel' line encroaches upon the 'OGT' property; and maybe I don't know how to read this, and maybe I'm reading it wrong, but apparently there is some other issue that I don't see here - it's not..." ?: "Sorry sir?" ?: "I think it's the sidewalk..." Mr. LeBlanc: "The sidewalk at. .." ?: "... At the trail..." Mr. LeBlanc: "His comment is, Mr. McIntosh, and I'll quote from his letter, 'I am convinced that permission to permit and build this deceleration lane, and relocate the existing State Road 434 sidewalk into the office of GreeneWays and trails properties, adjacent to state road 434 will not be granted.' I think the deceleration lane, by itself, could be built but to build a deceleration lane, the proper width, they would have to move the sidewalk, and the sidewalk would be the intrusion into the Greene Ways proj eeL ", Commissioner Blake: "Okay, I understand. Is there something that we can do Ron, that will stipulate that if in the future, it becomes possible to build a 'decel' lane - if somebody could be held to build it?" Manager McLemore: "I don't know how you would do that without escrowing money." Commissioner Blake: "Well, it's just disappointing because you try to do things right up front, and you run into issues like this. Thank you." Mayor Partyka: "Thank you. Anyone else? Okay. Commissioner Martinez'?" Commissioner Martinez: "I just wanted to state for the record that time and time again, we have heard people come up here, and state that the City of Winter Springs has the right to be more restrictive than some other agencies, that are higher in the echelon than we are; and I can't understand why we would choose to go against the State and the County, when they are recommending that we don't do this." Mayor Partyka: "Okay. Alright. Thank you very much Mr. LeBlanc." CITY OF WINTER SPRJNGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MAY 22, 2000 PAGE 8 OF 33 B.

Discussion continued on having the Planning and Zoning Board "Stay in the loop."

I can't give you any details on this proposal- I'm not aware of them, and I don't think anybody on staff is aware of them." Mr. Charles Carrington, AICP, Community Development Director: "Well..." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MA Y 22,2000 PAGE 17 OF 33 Manager McLemore: "...Or, what the intent of the proposal is - you know, what the proposal is intended to do, and that is commit CDGB funds to this project to put water and sewer in the industrial park." Mayor Partyka: "Well, I'll wait until Commissioner Blake is - because the meeting was - as background on this meeting, this meeting was called Mr. Visser to have Buddy Balagia, who is the Grant writer for Seminole County, and then also for - Father John Bluett, and his support of this project and the whole idea behind that was to see if there was any grant money available to put a sewer line onto Old Sanford Oviedo Road, to handle those two facilities, instead of septic system, and as it turns out, the County does not like septic systems..." Tape 2/Side B Commissioner Martinez left the dais at 9:58 p.m. Mayor ,Partyka: ".. . Potentially a grant submitted, and the Grant would cover a sewer line and the pluses on that would be not only are these two facilities covered, but also, all the other facilities and businesses on that road - anything within fifty feet by Ordinance of this City, has to be connected into the sewer line. And, we've had a lot of positive impact from those people. So, the possibility exists there from Mr. Balagia's standpoint is - if you submit this for a request, there is still a chance that that money could be coming, as long as we get it to the County Commissioners, and also, it would be better if we had, at least a Resolution of support for something like this. And, Mr. Carrington was there; Mr. Visser was there - Father John Bluett; myself, and we've - I think you've gotten all of the documents. And that's about as simple as I can say it. Commissioner Blake?" Commissioner Martinez returned to the dais at 9:59 p.m. Commissioner Blake: "Is, there one issue, or are there two issues here? Is the potential funding through the CDBG Grant contingent upon approval of the Respite center?" Mayor Partyka: "No." Commissioner Blake: "So, why do we need to have the Respite Center information in the Reso lution?" Mayor Partyka: "They were just - they just happened to be the two proponents on this, because they were the biggest users of this." Commissioner Blake: "I, frankly I would certainly be in favor of attempting to get the funding in order to run the sewer line there for the existing operations that are there. I have some significant concerns however, if this would be taken in any way, shape, or CITY OF WiNTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MAY 22, 2000 PAGE 18 OF 33 form as a signal of support for the development of another operation that is not currently there. Now, I think that the City is certainly doing its part in helping those in need in certain other areas, but to have a third type of an operation there, where you are talking about, with the homeless and everything else, causes me some concern given its right next door - you have the 'Youth for substance abuse program' that goes on; then you have the sort of half way house operation, next door to that. And if you start mixing all these three things together and you sort of wonder which way the direction that that part of town is going - whether it is a positive influence, or a negative influence - I have some concerns about that. Now, I don't know - I'm just saying - as far as the funding for the operations that are still currently there, to get sewer lines run there, to pull the septic tanks - I think that's absolutely necessary; especially right there on Lake Jessup, as it is. But I do not want my vote to be taken as showing any support for an additional facility, certainly not without a lot more information." Mayor Partyka: "City Manager, am I saying this right? I think this is strictly for a sewer line, and they have to meet the criteria. I don't even know what the criteria is." Manager McLemore: "Well, the Resolution though is written around the proposed new' project, by St. Stephens Catholic Church, and I think that's undeniable." Mayor Partyka: "Well, supporting the request by both the Grove Counseling Center, and St. Stephens Catholic Church. I mean they were both there. And the whole intent of this has to be an economic impact for that part of town, and we've all agreed that that sewer line, does help that part of town. I mean, that's where the County has to come in. But, Mr. Carrington. Here is Mr. Carrington, he was there..." Commissioner Blake: "Mr. Mayor, the 'Whereas' though specifically discuss the new operation and don't discuss the current operation instead. And, that's why I'm saying..." Mayor Partyka: "Right." Commissioner Blake: "...That I can foresee a Resolution that would re-craft it, that I could support. I would have concerns supporting a Resolution as it's written..." Mayor Partyka: "Okay." Commissioner Blake: ".. .As I outlined." Mayor Partyka: "Mr. Carrington? Could you provide a little maybe - background on this - the whole idea of the Economic Community Development Grant, and the purpose of that. ..(yes, I can do the initials faster, than I can do the words)." Mr. Carrington: "In connection with the Respite Center?" CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MA Y 22.2000 PAGE \9 OF 33 Mayor Partyka: "Yes, in connection with the whole idea of the Block Grant." Mr. Carrington: "I'm not sure what you are asking me - I can..." Mayor Partyka: "I'm..." Mr. Carrington: ".. . Recap for you - sorry..." Mayor Partyka: "I'm just trying to - we're trying to get some background on the purpose of getting a CDBG Grant (okay, even though that's redundant). Okay. So, we're just trying to find out, I mean - I've got it - there's nothing more than 'Here's an opportunity to improve our part of the City, with some opportunity for funding, from Seminole County.'" Mr. Carrington: "The - I'm just looking for the Agenda Item - the Regular Agenda. Okay. The Community Development Block Grant money is funneled throughout the country to the states and to the municipalities, through the counties. And, in our case, in Winter Springs, the Community Development Block Grant funds are funneled through Seminole County; and they have staff that administers the funds and they're responsible for recommending to the Elected Officials in Seminole County, each year, on the projects that have been submitted to the Staff as proposals for funding. And the final decision is made by the Elected Officials, the County Commission; and then the Community Development Block Grant staff administers the funds - makes them available to municipalities that have qualified and applied for the funds. This year, the City of Winter Springs is fortunate in receiving $83,000 - a little over $83,000 dollars in Community Development Block Grant money, for improvements to Rhoden Lane, in connection with the Moss Road Redevelopment project. Unfortunately, when the Respite Center issue came up, the Staff had already made their recommendations for all the projects coming in 2001, and of course that list was attached to your Agenda Item. That doesn't mean that the County Commission can't change that Agenda, and add Winter Springs to put the Sewer Line into the Winter Springs Industrial Park, which is what's needed in order to make the Respite Center a possibility, as I understand it. I understand also, that $100,000 is a suitable sum to make that improvement. Attorney Garganese left the dais at lO:04p.m. The question is, does the City Commission wish to have our support - the Respite Center's efforts in getting the County Commission to reek and order the Agenda, and put the Respite Center in the Winter Springs Industrial Park, on the Agenda, for Community Development Block Grant funds; and I use this word 'cautiously,' but at the expense of some other City or some other project in the County that has already been recommended by the Staff. And that's where we are." CITY OF WINTER SPRlNGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MA Y 22,2000 PAGE 20 OF 33 Attorney Garganese returned to the dais at 10:05 p.m. Mayor Partyka: "What's the benefit of having this sewer line there, for the City?" Mr. Carrington: "Well, quite obviously, I think the sewer line eventually will be brought in to the Industrial Park; if in fact, the goal of the City is to have a viable Industrial Park; so that's sort of a question that doesn't need an answer - it's a matter of when. I think we have to have sewer and water in an industrial park, in order for it to be successful. . ." Mayor Partyka: "So potentially, this may speed up that whole process." Mr. Carrington: "Sure it could." Mayor Partyka: "Okay. I believe it is Commissioner Martinez? Then Commissioner Gennell; Commissioner Miller." Commissioner Martinez: "As Commissioner Blake said, we're discussing sewer line, but, on this Agenda Item, it says on page two (2) at the top - a Respite center would be a division of the Health Care Center for the Homeless, located in Orlando. Which means that the sewer line is the first step, in eventually establishing a Homeless Center, in the heart of Winter Springs, an area which we're trying to revitalize, and also raise the aesthetic levels in that community. I mean, is this correct? Is this what we are looking for? To establish a center there, for the homeless? Eventually?" Mr. Carrington: "Well that's..." Commissioner Martinez: "Is this leading to that?" Mr. Carrington: "That's a proposal for you tonight. I - there is no application, from the Respite Center, for site plan review, or anything else. They're merely asking you to support a Resolution, signed by the Mayor, that would be delivered to the County Commission, during their July meeting, asking them to change the recommendations of the Community Development Block Grant staff, and add, Winter Springs as a funding agent, for $100,000.00 to extend sewer into the Winter Springs Industrial Park." Commissioner Martinez: "Thank you." Mayor Partyka: "Commissioner Gennell." Deputy Mayor Gennell: "Gentlemen, I am not going to be in support of this. I will tell you flat out. Eventually, we will get sewage brought in there by industry, by the School system, by somebody. But, it's the way I read this issue, this Agenda Item, it's a very thinly disguised attempt to bring in a use - that we have never discussed this,it's never been considered, it's never been applied for. And, I don't see any urgency on the part of the 'CDBG' grant funds. As a matter fact, if I'm not mistaken, this is the very first year CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MA Y 22, 2000 PAGE 21 OF 33 we ever got any of that money. And, I'm grateful for what we did get, after all the years we've participated in it with the County. And, if somebody wants to build another facility out there, they need to come in through the front door, make the application the right way, and then if they qualify for funds, and we need the sewer - I think that's the way we go about it, with any applicant that comes in here; and that's the way I'd prefer to see it done. And, as far as the Grove Counseling Center, I can honestly and truthfully tell you that their Board of Directors did not vote, at all, on this request. So, I will not be in favor of it. I'll make a Motion to deny it - if it's time. " Mayor Partyka: "Okay. Commissioner Miller." Commissioner Miller: "Yes, I was surprised when I saw this too, and Ijust wanted to ask the Staff - well, the first question would be - how this came through, like this? And the second question would be to the City Manager - because the Grove Center, I believe, if you look at their property there, and you - well, first of all, they don't pay taxes in the City. So we have a - the City has made a commitment to support something like this, in the City's commercial area, or industrial area, which I think is a noble thing to do. But now, we're going to get another one - another piece o~property, right adjacent to it, and it looks to me, just a rough estimate like - if this one were to go through, that you would have in excess of twenty-five to thirty percent of our industrial area, committed to something which is clearly not industrial; although it probably shows up as an accepted land use, under an Industrial Area. But, we're not going to get any tax revenue for this, when it goes through. I mean if this counseling center is to come - not counseling, whatever they call it - this thing that we're trying to get the septic tanks removed and replaced by sewer form - so that - how did this come in like this? I mean, we're obviously...it's resolved that we're going to support St. Stephens getting a sewer line? Unless we're asking the County to do it - isn't it?" Manager McLemore: "I think that's basically what your Resolution is." Commissioner Miller: "Did you write it?" Manager McLemore: "No, I did not." Commissioner Miller: "Well, I. . ." Mr. Carrington: "I wrote it. I can explain. .." Commissioner Miller: "I had some difficulty with it also for those reasons - but. . ." Mayor Partyka: "Again. We were at that meeting so it's not a .. . again, tell me if I'm wrong, but we're listing to this - this is an economic...I'm going to get this down yet...a CITY OF WINTER SPRlNGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MA Y 22, 2000 PAGE 22 OF 33 Community Development Block Grant that has to meet certain criteria, that has to have some positive benefits for that area, and it's not just focused on either this project or Grove Counseling Center, or anyone of those kind of things - it's a Grant that's going to help that part of the community to grow economically, and one thing we've all agreed is a sewer line is good for that area. What this is going is - with additional development potentially, this is a potential catalyst to have a sewer line there quicker, than normal. Keep in mind, at the other end of this road, you have the school system coming in, and they're going to need a sewer line there too. So, this in effect may speed up that whole process of getting a sewer line there, and the benefits for the City is - we'll have all those business hooking up into that sewer line, and we have the capacity. So, this is an opportunity for getting a Grant to this City to in effect, build a sewer line. So, I mean, that's the way it was described to me." Mr. Carrington: "But - may I answer Commissioner Miller's question, as to how I got involved. On May the 8th, early morning, 1 was asked by Gene DeMarie, to attend a meeting with the Mayor and some other individuals to discuss the possible use of CDBG funds, to extend sewer to the Winter Springs Industrial Park; and the meeting centered around constructing a Respite Center for the rest and recovery of ill or injured homeless people, and I left the meeting with instructions to prepare the Agenda Item. I was provided with data on the Respite Center, discussed it with the City Manager, and was told to put it on as a Regular Agenda Item, so I did write the Agenda Item for the City Manager, and I did write the Resolution that's attached, and I did collect the data in connection with the current status of Community Development Block Grant funds in Seminole County, by getting a copy of the recommendation from the Staff. So, all the information that's provided there was a follow-up to the meeting on May the 8th." Mayor Partyka: "Okay. All right..." Commissioner Miller: "I understand. Thank you." Mayor Partyka: "Commissioner Blake - 1 believe." Commissioner Blake: "1 have nothing." Mayor Partyka: "Okay. Anybody...I guess it's Commissioner McLeod." Commissioner McLeod: "I have a simple question. Are you the broker of the property of the seven and a half acres that St. Stephen's is presently looking at the contract with; and would this have any conflict in what you're duties here with the City are?" Mayor Partyka: "No, because we have already sold the property." Commissioner McLeod: "Okay. So the property has been sold." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MAY 22,2000 PAGE 23 OF 33 Mayor Partyka: "Yes." Commissioner McLeod: "But, you were the Broker? The Realtor?" Mayor Partyka: "That's correct. Okay." Commissioner McLeod: "Thank: you." Mayor Partyka: "Commissioner Gennell?" . Deputy Mayor Gennell: "YES MR. MAYOR. I MOVE THAT WE DENY CONSIDERATION OF ITEM 'D.'" MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR GENNELL. Mayor Partyka: "Is there a 'Second?'" ?: "SECONDED." Mayor Partyka: '~DISCUSSION? CALL THE VOTE?" Ms. Andrea Lorenzo-Luaces, City Clerk: "COMMISSIONER BLAKE?" Commissioner Blake: "MOTION TO DENY, CORRECT?" Deputy Mayor Gennell: "THAT'S RIGHT." Commissioner Blake: "AYE." City Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces: "DEPUTY MAYOR GENNELL?" Deputy Mayor Gennell: "AYE." City Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces: "COMMISSIONER MILLER?" Commissioner Miller: "AYE." City Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces: "COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ?" Commissioner Martinez: "AYE." City Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces: "COMMISSIONER McLEOD?" Commissioner McLeod: "AYE." Mayor Partyka: "MOTION PASSES. Going on...back - now we're back to - thank you - Mr. Carrington. We're back to 'A' - under Regular Agenda. City Manager..." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MA Y 22. 2000 PAGE 24 OF J3 Commissioner Blake: "Excuse me Mayor - I'm sorry, but I've got to say something. You know -I don't know, quite frankly, if your involvement with the transaction on that property, whether it's complete at this point in time - or not - qualifies specifically under the Ethics' rules; but I think if it were me - that I would certainly divulge any interest or actions that I might have had, in a transaction when we're discussing the support of this Council, and a hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) that would certainly benefit that property. I just think it would be prudent, in your own interest, next time, if something comes before this Council- that you've had some activity in, that that's divulged up front - I really do. Again, it may not qualify, hard and fast, under the Ethics' rules, but, you've got to admit, it certainly moves into a grayish area. That's all I have to say." Mayor Partyka: "Thank you." Commissioner Miller: "Yes..." Mayor Partyka: "Just a minute, let me just respond. Again, I thought about this and maybe I should have said something, but the property has already been sold. I mean, 1 have no. more benefits, one way or the other, however, this votes - so from my standpoint, the whole idea is - do I benefit by this, depending on what the Council does? In my mind, I gain nothing out of this. So, that's why...1 mean that's about as simple as 1 can say it. So - Commissioner, but I do take that under advisement. Commissioner Miller?" Commissioner Miller: "Yes, I'd like to echo Commissioner Blake's comment. 1 really believe you should have brought that - you should have mentioned the issue before - right up front, and if it ever happens again, I hope you do. I mean, I would've. It's just one of those issues that..." Commissioner Blake: "Enough said." Commissioner Miller: "Yes." Mayor Partyka: "I'd say. .." Commissioner Miller: "I wish I had.. .not wasted any time on it..." Commissioner Miller left the dais at 1 0: 17 p. m. Commissioner Martinez: "Mr. Mayor?" Mayor Partyka: "Yes." Commissioner Martinez: "May we know who bought the property?" Mayor Partyka: "Home Health Care Center for the Homeless." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MAY 22, 2000 PAGE 25 OF 33 Commissioner Martinez: "So, the same people that are..." Mayor Partyka: "Yes." Commissioner Martinez: ".. .Going to put a Respite there?" Mayor Partyka: "Yes." Commissioner Martinez: "Thank you." Mayor Partyka: "Okay, going to 'A'. Requests The Commission Approve An Agreement Between Schrimsher Properties And The City Of Winter Springs Relative To Adoption Of The Town Center Code." Commissioner Blake: "Mayor, a ten minute break?" Mayor Partyka called a break at 10: 18 p. m. The Meeting was called back to order at 10:29 p.m. .:..:. AGENDA NOTE: THE FOLLOWING REGULAR AGENDA ITEM WAS NEXT DISCUSSED AS DOCUMENTED. .:. .:. VI. REGULAR A. City Manager Requests The Commission Approve An Agreement Between Schrimsher Properties And The City Of Winter Springs Relative To Adoption Of The Town Center Code. The Commission decided to go forward with this discussion until 11 :00 p.m. Discussion and negotiations commenced with the size of Wetland Park. Manager McLemore stated that "In section III, you will see the language - the third paragraph. I would prefer to have that language re-crafted, so that it does not provide an automatic exclusion, of Edge Drive totally, within the discretion of Mr. Schrimsher, but in fact, that language would be changed to say that if - 'that we would agree to come up with an alternative plan that's mutually acceptable to both parties. ", Manager McLemore further stated, that "I would be more comfortable if we said we would agree to come back with an alternate plan, that both parties agree to. Edge Drive is very important to the success of the plan, and I think that this needs to be a concurrent action of both parties." Manager McLemore then stated, "The only other comment that I have, is that on page five (5), at the top, we're saying, 'If Schrimsher would like to seek appropriate approvals to vacate or otherwise utilize for any purpose' - I would prefer to see that amended to CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MAY 22,2000 PAGE 26 OF 33 'Any lawful purpose under the Town Center Code, or provided by language in the Town Center Code.'" Mr. Micky Grindstaff, 20 North Orange Avenue, Suite 1001, Orlando, Florida: stated "Any purpose allowed by the Town Center Code." Commissioner Blake left the dais at 10:35 p.m. Mr. Grindstaff stated, "If you'll flip to page three (3), paragraph 'j', we talk about the Schrimsher property, and we deleted that portion - we deleted that last sentence that references that portion of the Schrimsher property, that is not included in the Town Center." Mr. Grindstaff further said, "There are a couple of other references in this Agreement to Schedule 'B-2,' which we didn't catch, in this draft, and they should have been removed." Commissioner Blake returned to the dais at 10:36 p.m. Mr. Grindstaff then added, that on page 22, "Where it says 'Schrimsher property,' - that definition 'II. i' is actually 'Schrimsher Entity,' not the 'Schrimsher Property;' and definition 'II. j' is the 'Schrimsher Property', not the 'Schrimsher Excluded Property." Mr. Garganese was asked for his comments, and Attorney Garganese stated, "That's fine. " Next, Mr. Grindstaff said that in Article XLIV, on page 19, here it is stated, "Land use percentages as set forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan." I think three (3) words were left off at the end of that sentence - the City agrees Schrimsher property will be entitled to the same minimum mix of land use percentages as set forth in the City's. Comprehensive Plan - I think what that meant was 'City's Comprehensive Plan for Town Center. ,,, Mr. Grindstaff then spoke of St. Johns Landing, as mentioned on page 12, and stated, "It was suggested, and I agree that it was a good idea, that I think that the lot owner should hold harmless, both the City and Schrimsher, from any damages resulting from a trespasser." Discussion. Deputy Mayor Gennell added, "I would suggest that you include the County in there, because the County is the manager of the Trail, and they're developing encroachment policies right now, to handle those kind of issues." Commissioner Blake added, "What happens when the property conveys, changes hands. Does the release go with the land?" Attorney Garganese suggested that it be recorded. Mr. Grindstaff agreed that this was a good idea, with the wording "Hold harmless by recorded instrument." Regarding references made to "Cross Seminole Trail Street," as on page two (2), Mr. Grindstaff said this was otherwise known as the "East West Street that could move up and down.. .") and he suggested that "Let's call that street, something other than 'Cross Seminole Trail Street.'" Discussion ensued on possible names. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MA Y 22,2000 PAGE 27 OF 33 Next, discussion followed on the acreages of Wetland Park and Magnolia Park; and the Edge Drive issue, in which Manager McLemore stated that their intent was that "It was our understanding, and always from the beginning, that that road was on Schrimsher property, not on trail property." Further discussion between Mr. Carrington, Manager McLemore, and Mr. Grindstaff included the delineation of the wetlands; charrettes; and options, not mandates. Manager McLemore stated, "In order to protect the integrity of the design, at this point in time, circulation still remains a critical issue - to that Park," and we need to be able to work out something "That was mutually agreeable to both of us." "MOTION TO EXTEND FOR ONE HOUR." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BLAKE. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER McLEOD. DISCUSSION. VOTE: COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ: AYE COMMISSIONER BLAKE: AYE COMMISSIONER MILLER: AYE COMMISSIONER McLEOD: AYE DEPUTYMAYORGENNELL: AYE MOTION CARRIED. Further discussion ensued on park acreages and related dollar values of property. Mr. Michael Schrimsher, 600 East Colonial Drive, Orlando, Florida: discussed how he wanted to be able to talk with Victor Dover about certain concerns, including the decision making process. Tape 3/Side A Discussion followed on acreages; fractional acreages; how particular decisions were arrived at regarding sizes of parks; and the Commissions' concern with value and just rough numbers. Commissioner McLeod suggested, "Whatever is reduced out of that particular park, then - and whatever is reduced off from wetlands, put that into - any of the other parks, that you and the consultant agree to do." The consensus of the Commission was to agree with Commissioner McLeod's suggestion. Discussion. Commissioner Martinez left the dais at 11:25 p.m. Discussion followed on acreages; and where the roads are situated. Commissioner Martinez returned to the dais at 11 :28 p.m. Discussion on whether the Schrimsher organization would agree to the suggestions made thus far - tonight, and would they sign the agreement? Their answer was "No." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MA Y 22, 2000 PAGE 28 OF 33 "MAYOR, MOTION TO ADJOURN." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BLAKE. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. Members of the Commission, Manager McLemore, Mr. Grindstaff, and Mr. Schrimsher discussed how the Agreement could be finalized. Commissioner Blake explained, that "The major points would be nailed down, and we wouldn't have to come back in two weeks, and go through - and this will be on the record too - we could go through this exact same exercise, again, with all the particulars." Mayor Partyka clarified, "There is a proposal by Commissioner Blake to in effect, commit potentially to your position provided, this gets put down in writing." Mayor Partyka then stated, "Right - it would have to be tonight." Discussion followed on Commissioner Blake's proposed suggestion, if it were to be signed tonight. Mayor Partyka reiterated that what was agreed to was - "Right now, this Commission is saying that they would agree to the 4.84, ifit's less than .79, but no less than .64, it would be moved to some other Park area, and then we also agree to the wording for Mr. McLemore's - mutual agreement." Mayor Partyka also stated, that this must be signed tonight. Commissioner McLeod then stated, "I think where we're really at right now, is the difference on the wetlands - the .84; are you guys willing to split the difference on that?" Commissioner McLeod added, "I believe we're down to the .84, okay. And all I'm asking here is let's get it down so that we can all come to an agreement; then everybody can take this thing, over the next two weeks, put it in writing Micky. Bring it back to us, so everybody is willing to sign it off, clean the document up." Furthermore, Commissioner McLeod stated, "I believe we're at .84, and let's get that resolved, and I'm willing to split that with you, at this time, and put it somewhere else; at one of the other parks, or all the parks, or spread it off." Commissioner McLeod then clarified that, "Mr. Schrimsher, what my suggestion is to you, and what I'm directing as my suggestion to the Commission, is that it would be worked out between you and Mr. Dover, as to which of the parks - with the City Manager - as to which park that would go into. It does not necessarily need to come back to this Commission, as to which one of the Parks the three of you can agree to do. You can take Micky with you - that will be four - two and two. Okay." , Then, Commissioner McLeod stated, "All we're saying is the green space needs to stay in the parks. And you folks decide, over the next two weeks, where that is." Mayor Partyka asked Commissioner McLeod to reiterate his suggestion, of which he said, "The .79 is definitely still - a part of that. All I'm saying is we're now at .84, splitting it - .42, okay; and that that portion of the .42 gets split up into other parks; and that will be worked out between Mr. Dover, the City Manager, Mr. Schrimsher, and Mr. Grindstaff, over the next two weeks." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MA Y 22.2000 PAGE 29 OF 33 Commissioner Martinez asked, "Can you correct it to include Edge Drive..." Commissioner McLeod stated, "Yes, the City Manager's language, and Mr. Grindstaff has to look at it." Brief discussion ensued about the timeframe to complete this in. Commissioner McLeod stated, "I will retract within 'two weeks' - as long as the parties can agree to work that out - the percentages." Mr. Grindstaff added, "The percentages would be nailed down - the whereabouts - of the correction would be yet to be determined." Manager McLemore said, "Right." Commissioner McLeod then said, "And the four of you, work that out." Further discussion. Mr. Schrimsher stated, "Great. Great." Mayor Partyka added, "Okay, it's a 'done deal.'" Mr. Schrimsher added, "Good." Mr. Grindstaff then said, "You zeroed in, Mayor, on Wetland Park. That's based on the premise that Magnolia Park. .." Commissioner McLeod said, "Is still. 79. . ." Mr. Grindstaff then said,". 79 - and if it goes to .64, which is what is currently drawn. . ." Commissioner McLeod said, "Then, you're going to spread that also." Mr. Grindstaff then said, "That would be spread along with. . ." "I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE CHANGES TO THE DOCUMENT AS HAS BEEN OUTLINED THIS EVENING, AND THAT WE BRING IT BACK WITH NO ADDITIONAL THINGS TO THE DOCUMENT, OTHER THAN THOSE CHANGES THAT WE HAVE ALL AGREED TO, FOR THE NEXT MEETING." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER McLEOD. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ. DISCUSSION ON WHETHER THIS NEEDED TO COME BACK TO THE COMMISSION; AND THE RELATED ZONING ORDINANCE. MANAGER McLEMORE STATED, "WELL I THINK WE'VE AGREED WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS AS A CONTRACT, AND NOT UNDER THE STATE STATUTE, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THE HEARINGS. WE'RE NOT DOING IT AS AN ORDINANCE, WE'RE DOING IT AS AN AGREEMENT." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MAY 22,2000 PAGE 30 OF 33 VOTE: COMMISSIONER MILLER: AYE COMMISSIONER McLEOD: AYE COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ: AYE COMMISSIONER BLAKE: AYE DEPUTY MAYOR GENNELL: AYE MOTION CARRIED.

Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "I would request that we get the final agreement, in time to go in our Agenda Packet." It was determined that the "date certain" to get this agreement to the Commission would be June 2, 2000. Mayor Partyka then thanked all parties involved in this effort. "MOTION TO ADJOURN."
