Community Development Department Requesting Commission Consider And Approve A Development Agreement And Its Associated Geometry Plan For The State Road 434 Retail Development (A..K.A. Villagio), Located On A 9.15-Acre Tract Along The South Side Of State Road 434, Adjacent To And West Of Stone Gable. Ms. Kasey Edwards, 100 Stone Gable Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: commented on a proposed wall and preserving trees. Mr. Baker spoke on this Agenda Item and reviewed the proposed Development Agreement. Mr. Hal H. Kantor, Attorney, Lowndes Drosdick Doster Kantor & Reed, P.A., 215 North Eola Drive, Orlando, Florida: presented information on the proposed Villagio project to those in attendance. (The information in Attachment "A" was shown to those present and contained information that Mr. Kantor stated would be done.) During Mr. Kantor's presentation, Mr. Kantor spoke about Specimen Trees and stated, "We were able to preserve Specimen Oaks. It happens that those are on the side of the property nearest Stone Gable. And, we have agreed to grant a tree preservation easement to the City, regardless of where the wall is. I just want you to understand, regardless of where the wall is, we've agreed to grant a conservation area easement to the City. And you will hear tonight, people talking about the widths and when we look back at the plan, the conservation easement narrows, it is thirty feet [30'] for several, I don't know how many feet, and it narrows to a smaller point as it goes back to the retention pond, because there is no space back there to preserve it beyond that and frankly, the trees diminish back there as well. But that is where the retention pond goes, and I believe there are actually 61 trees. And we will build a six foot (6') concrete wall with dye cast brick or stone, and we delivered copies of that - what that appears to be to you staff; and we have also agreed to limit our construction. There will be no vertical construction prior to putting up the wall. There will be some infrastructure because you have got to lay down some pipes in the ground, and you have got to prepare, in order to build the wall. One of the things we have to do apparently is build a slab because this wall is actually built on ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~:) CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 10,2003 PAGE I3 OF 20 site, so we have got to build a site to construct these walls, because of the construction method. But we will then put up the wall so that as we are engaged in most of the construction, it will be buffered from the homeowners in Stone Gable." Furthermore, Mr. Kantor stated, "We will grant a deceleration lane, you heard John, without compensation for the land it is about - it is eleven feet (11 ') in width, in front of our site." Mr. Kantor then stated in reference to his comments and what was shown in writing during a PowerPoint presentation [Attachment "A"] - those are the commitments that we have agreed to do." Mr. Kantor then reviewed two (2) alternatives [also included in Attachment "A"]. Mr. Medford McCoy, 114 Brookshire Court, Winter Springs, Florida: stated that "The Florida Power easement behind that property up to the creek is owned by the Winding Hollow Homeowner's Association - it is a 100 foot wide easement for the power lines." Mr. Thomas Kearney, 159 Stone Gable Circle, Winter Springs Florida: as the president of the Stone Gable Property Owners Association, thanked City Staff, Manager McLemore, and the Developer for their efforts. Tape 2/Side B Mr. Kearney further spoke about their opposition to the proposed Cross-Access Easement; a deceleration lane; and trees. Mr. Robert Keith, 106 Stone Gable Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: presented a copy of their Covenants to Attorney Buak, and spoke of the trees and the extension of the wall.

Mr. Johnston also remarked about signage; construction hours; and the proposed easement. With discussion on the Arbor Ordinance; vested rights; and City Attorney opinions, Commissioner Martinez inquired, "Are we within the law when we do this - and I think that as it happened before, you are not, but I will reserve further comments until I check with an outside source." Commissioner Blake asked Manager McLemore, "When did we begin speaking about a re-write of the Tree Ordinance - that Ordinance that ultimately became 2002-08?" Manager McLemore stated, "I would have to go back to the written chronology." Commissioner Blake then inquired, "Who authorized the City Attorney to render an opinion as to whether or not vested rights applied in this case?"

Commissioner Blake then inquired, "Did the Attorney deliver us a written opinion on that?" Manager McLemore stated, "I don't recall." Discussion ensued on whether or not an opinion from the City Attorney had been given regarding vested rights on the Tree Ordinance in relation to this particular application. Commissioner Blake then said, "I do not know what the effect of pre 2002-08 or post 2002-08 will be on this Developer's Agreement, but I think that is something that we need to see, and I would like to get that information." Discussion ensued on Exhibit "C." Tape 3/Side A Further discussion.

Further, Commissioner Martinez added, "We directed the City Manager and Mr. Chuck Pula - was present, to draft a document covering all the specifics that they wanted, to bring it back to us for approval, and corrections, and deletions - and that has never happened." At the request of Mayor Bush, Commissioner McGinnis stated, "I would like to know if the City can require a Lease Agreement and an audit and - what restraints could be placed on giving money away." Mayor Bush clarified, "Let's let the Manager do some research on this and bring it back." Commissioner Martinez added, "Last year, because of a place being used for political activities, it was brought up to this Commission. It was discussed here and they were directed to go back and take the existing documents (which I still have copies of), which prohibited political activities at that center at the time and re-write it and bring it back to us. And that has never happened." REPORTS 26. I. Office Of The Mayor - John F. Bush Mayor Bush commented on the photographs that were taken of the Commission and asked that everyone make their selection. Secondly, Mayor Bush stated, "I appreciate the Commission moving forward on the goal setting. I think that is important for us and hopefully we can get some time when we all can meet during the week." Mayor Bush then suggested, "I would like the Commission to ask the City Manager to put together a list of deceleration lanes in order of priority, in terms of traffic within the City, and the costs associated. So that if it is something that the Commission wishes to do with the one cent gas tax in the future, it could be done." Mayor Bush added, "Can we get that on the Agenda, maybe the next Meeting - or whenever you think you can." With further consideration of the factors involved, Mayor Bush asked Chief of Police Daniel J. Kerr, "Can we see how many rear-end accidents we have had at different locations, is that a possibility?" Manager McLemore said, "We will do it" but no definite timeframe was agreed to. Mayor Bush also suggested that cost and safety should both be considerations, and said, "I think the Commission would like to see this in terms of the budget preparations." ~~ ~ ~ ~ €; ~23> ~ ~ ADJOURNMENT Mayor Bush adjourned the Meeting at 11 :00 p.m. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED: ANDREA LORENZO-LUACES, CMC CITY CLERK APPROVED: JOHNF.
