Office of the City Manager REQUEST: The City Manager and City Attorney request that the City Commission consider adopting on Second Reading Ordinance No. 2014-07 granting a new franchise to Duke Energy Florida, Inc. for a term of 10 years to provide electric utility service within the City of Winter Springs. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-MARCH 24,2014 PAGE 10 OF 23 FISCAL IMPACT: The Ordinance maintains a franchise fee of six percent (6%) on "base revenue" which Duke Energy receives from certain customers within the jurisdictional limits of the City. Duke Energy then spreads the franchise fee paid to the City across their entire customer base within the jurisdictional limits of the City in accordance with Public Service Commission regulations. Under the proposed Ordinance, the definition of "base revenue" is modified to include industrial customers and City sponsored street lighting. Further, ad valorem taxes paid to the City by Duke Energy will no longer be deducted from the franchise fee amount owned the City. Based on historical customer data,this modification results in an increase of base revenues � as defined in the Ordinance. When the six percent franchise fee is calculated on the increased base revenue � amount and the ad valorem tax off-set is eliminated,the City anticipates that the gross franchise fee paid to the City by Duke Energy will increase by appro�mately $6,000 per montW$72,000 per year. However,the a"� gross franchise fees collected by the City are off-set by the amount of franchise fees that the City actually � pays on its electric utility invoice due to the collection method utilized by the electric utility to � proportionately spread the franchise fee required to be paid to the City over the entire electric utility customer base within the City including the City. Further, the actual franchise fee amount paid is subject � to actual energy usage by customers within the City which has been on a significant downward trend for severalyears.

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CTI'Y COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-MARCH 24,2014 PAGE 17 OF 23 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Commission approve the Final Concept Plan for the design of Intersection Improvements at S.R.434 and Tuskawilla Road(Market Square). Mr. Brian Fields, P.E., City Engineer, Public Works Department began the discussion on this Agenda Item and went over key points with the City Commission. Commissioner Krebs asked, "Is there any place that is going to be — available for prepared for informational �= signage like we always use that area for 4�''of July..." Mr. Fields referred to the Agenda Item and stated, "...We =-- have a wall here with a corner, and certainly this side or the diagonal or here would be available to hang a banner := in the future; and as far as a kiosk, we have this location here, as we call it the retail sign kiosk—that's not there "� today; that will be another location where you could post some additional information, banner, sign, flag, �-� something like that." � � Comments followed on Frontage Road,access to the Town Center,and more options being included. �$ Commissioner Krebs asked, "On that Frontage Road, between where the Al's Hot Dogs used to be and the Publix, �� at one time we had discussed outbuildings there-will that be prepared for that possibility?" Mr. Fields responded, "There's nothing we're doing that could prevent that from happening in the future. However, I don't really see that as being a viable option here, parking being one (1) major obstacle to that. As well as I believe Publix has— `rights' to this lot; and they for example, they really objected to anything blocking the view to Publix there." Further, Mr. Fields noted, "Publix wants to keep their view open. If you notice, we have some canopy trees here and here, and at Publix,we do not have those." Discussion followed on whether there was any sunset to Publix's rights to which Attorney Garganese suggested such information might be in Publix's lease documents. Commissioner Carroll said to Mr. Fields, "Back to the market place and the kiosk and that area, I know that Community Development has looked at wayfaring signs that would help the businesses that are deeper in the Town Center, is that being also considered; so that you know that there is a new restaurant or there is a pet food store." Commissioner Carroll also commented on where such signage would be placed. Mr. Randy Stevenson, ASLA, AICP, Director, Community Development Department stated, "Yes, as you'll recall, we're working on wayfinding signage; we're also working on a project that would identify three (3) more prominent signs for the Town Center. This lays the groundwork for us to do that, because now we know what we're doing horizontally so we can work on those signs; not only from the standpoint of where they'd go horizontally but also vertically to integrate into the buildings to do just what you're talking about — we're also looking for a more permanent banner location,probably in terms of just two(2)poles that will be decorative poles but will allow for banners to be placed up by the City when and if they're needed. It will be a little bit more aesthetically pleasing shall we say,than what we have now." Deputy Mayor Rick Brown remarked, "The canopy trees along the Frontage Road seem to be counterintuitive to the concept of opening up visibility to the businesses that are there. As you know, we had that problem in the corner when the seafood place was there, and Barnie's Coffee was there, they were virtually invisible from the street. How is that being addressed, because I just see those trees as blocking any front signage that is in place now, and it is already difficult enough to see. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CTTY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-MARCH 24,2014 PAGE 18 OF 23 Mr. Fields pointed out, "There is a - short wall along this median area here that could be used for tenant signage that we do not have today; so,providing an additional opportunity for tenant signage right at(State Road)434." Deputy Mayor Brown then referenced the short wall in Palm Coast and Port Orange and thought it was essentially invisible to people driving by; and in terms of this proposed wall, inquired, "What is that going to look like?" Mr. Fields commented, "I think we can probably come back with a rendering of it." Mr. John Gri�n, Senior Associate, AECOM, 1 SO North Orange Avenue, Suite 200, Orlando, Florida: explained, C"o "The idea was that it would be thirty-six inches (36") tall. Again, it would be more in keeping with the wall that '"'� is being proposed for Market Square, so it's a continuation of that wall that you would see at the intersection and � again, it was to help address some of the road noise that's coming from the traffic and give an opportunity for a possibility for some signage for the businesses there in the village center. With regards to the street trees, what � we were hoping for is the large street trees that have a clear trunk of at least six feet (6'), so if you're in your car and you're sitting at a lower level, your sight line is clear so you can see up to the buildings and you'd be able to � see those store frontages. That was our goal." '� Deputy Mayor Brown asked if there was a rendering of this, to which Mr. Griffin stated, "We don't right now at � this time—yes,we can provide that." For disclosure purposes,Deputy Mayor Brown noted that he had owned the Barnie's Coffee in the Winter Springs Town Center and said that when they closed it, "One of the contributing factors was the fact that it was invisible from the street because of the tree canopy that was there for aesthetic reasons -it was terribly un-business friendly because it really made us invisible from that intersection,which was a major intersection." Commissioner Krebs added, "We actually removed one (1) tree from there as well, but I don't think what he is talking about, addresses the situation you are talking about." Deputy Mayor Brown said, "It will completely block that sign, block all the signs in front." Mr. Pete Sechler, Principal, AECOM, 1 SO North Orange Avenue, Suite 200, Orlando, Florida: stated, "I think that it is an important detail and I think it's something we can and should look at and we can model it." Mr. Sechler then spoke of historic type streetscapes he had worked on and the different trees he used. Continuing,Mr. Sechler added,"So,we should certainly revisit it and we'll model it." Deputy Mayor Brown referenced his previous business and pointed out that with the "Visibility blockage from a major artery, I would disagree. I would also remind Staff that this is — not a historic downtown setting, such as Park Avenue or downtown Deland or whatever the case may be. This is a high impact commerce center. It is our only commerce center in Winter Springs and if we damage the ability for people driving by to see the businesses that are there, it will hurt our economic forecast for the Town Center even more than the poor construction at the beginning." Mr. Fields stated, "This is going to come back as Final Engineering. This is `Concept' now. 1 think the concerns have definitely been heard and will be incorporated into design and whatever trees are put in, in this area - if we can provide some type of rendering showing the sign,the trees,to the Commission's satisfaction." Further, Deputy Mayor Brown noted, "I think the concerns of the multiple small businesses that are along that front, should be no less weighted than the concerns of Publix because we share the same concern and we share the same damage to our businesses if those trees are in place; for the same reason that Publix isn't allowing them along there. It is just wrong to put them in front of other businesses for the purpose of aesthetics — to obscure those businesses,when clearly Publix has a business purpose for not wanting them in front of their business." CTI'Y OF WINTER SPRINGS,FIARIDA MINUTES CTTY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-MARCH 24,2014 PAGE 19 OF 23 Additionally, Deputy Mayor Brown spoke of previous tenants of the Town Center and in going forward, "We have an opportunity now to really increase the traffic flow around that corner and to make that section look really appealing and we're taking a major step backwards if we put foliage in front of the signage on the small businesses who are heavily invested now in our Town Center." Commissioner Jean Hovey agreed that this is different than historic Winter Park or historic Sanford and the speeds that people drive along State Road 434 are greater and if trees are place there, along State Road 434 in front of the Town Center, the signage will not be seen. Commissioner Hovey asked what a three foot (3') wall �_ could do for noise; mentioned that businesses understand that noise will be heard; and inquired how much this �� wall would cost and what would it be constructed o£ � "—�.+ Mr. Fields commented on the proposed wall and stated, "We can take another look at that." = �r Further, Commissioner Hovey remarked, "I think you need to take another look at it and we also need to take a G look at what Deputy Mayor Brown said, those trees—there is a reason why Publix doesn't want them and those C'' other businesses should have the same weight as Publix." �"� � Commissioner Krebs said to Mr. Fields, "When you give us a rendering of what it could look like with whatever trees you are proposing or whatever foliage—if you could give us the eye level—when we are sitting in our cars, not necessarily from a view, that would be helpful..." Deputy Mayor Brown added, "...And maybe at various stages of growth." Commissioner Krebs noted she agreed with Deputy Mayor Brown's suggestion. Commissioner Resnick referenced Waterford Lakes and noticed there did not seem to be treescape along Alafaya Trail in that area and commented, "I think there is a reason for that, and maybe that might be a similar example to what everybody is bringing up here; so, maybe take a drive down that way—because I think that is more similar to what we are dealing with,than Winter Park." Deputy Mayor Brown noted some similar issues with obstructed views to businesses from roads in Palm Coast and along Taylor Road in Port Orange. Commissioner Carroll then spoke of not being able to see the Barnie's Coffee sign, or signage for the other businesses that previously were in the Winter Springs Town Center and asked, "Is it possible that you could instead have lower shrubs or streetlights or lampposts with hanging baskets and then wooden tubs with plantings in it?" Commissioner Carroll added,"I would stay away from trees." Mr. Fields remarked, "Definitely, the intent is to open up sightlines that are not open today, so maybe our plan view concept really doesn't show that as well as we could but the concerns are heard and understood and we'll bring that back." Mayor Lacey inquired of Mr. Fields, "When do you anticipate Final Engineering?" Mr. Fields explained, "Probably it will be in design for the next several months and the project is funded for constnzction of up to a million dollars and that is in DOT's (Department of Transportation) next fiscal year. So, our plan is to finish design this year, have the project out to bid in the fall and under construction in the first quarter of 2015. So, that is very exciting news for us. After tonight hopefully, we're going to move forward in the final design and have this under construction this time next year." Mr. Fields then mentioned that the extra sidewalk next to State Road 434 will be removed so the public sidewalk will be the sidewalk currently in front of the buildings. Brief comments followed on the size of the sidewalks. CTI'Y OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING—MARCH 24,2014 PAGE 20 OF 23 Commissioner Hovey asked, "If we approve this, we are approving it for the overall concept and not with the wall and the trees and the bushes and all—correct?" Manager Smith stated, "That is correct—this is a concept. Brian (Fields) and the team have gotten significant input from you all, all the stakeholders." Manager Smith added, "We thought it very important to labor through this process very intensively and just to the point where again, it is a Regular item with this presentation to get your input. We hear you loud and clear and it will come back as many times as it needs to,to get a product that you all are happy with." � Manager Smith noted that an additional consideration"Through the efforts of Mr.Fields, we have federal funding � for this project—no City dollars. Federal funding for the design, federal funding for the construction, and that is � available come July 1 of this year, through June 30"' next year; so, we'd really like to utilize those funds but we �..� will do whatever we need to,to come back with a project you all are happy with." � Mr. Fields then said, "The tree selection and the wall if it exists at all, are items that can easily be removed � entirel from this ro'ect at Final En ineerin whereas the trans ortation desi is reall what we need to move � Y P J g g; P � Y �� forward on and the intersection improvements and things that are a little more comprehensive." "'"'"'� Tape 1/Side B Concluding, Mr. Fields noted, "The scope of the transportation funding that we have available. that's ultimately going to be DOT's (Deparhnent of Transportation) call, on some of those components. For instance, we show a trellis over the sidewalk; we do show a retail sign kiosk— some of the walls and amenities in Market Square like the performance area, there may be a limit in what they will allow to be in this project. I just want to point that out. We will know that when we get the Final Engineering but some of those items are more shown for what they could potentially be." Mayor Lacey summarized, "Staff is recommending approval of the final Concept Plan at this point with assurance that there will be plenty of opportunity for the Commission to weigh in before Final Engineering is approved."
