City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese stated, "Regarding the Sixth Amendment, the Settlement Agreement with
the Tuscawilla Country Club, if you recall, a condition of recording that was that the City would receive all of the
Easements necessary for the Tuscawilla Greens project and we've received all of those Easements; so, we're
moving with recording that Sixth Amendment, the Settlement Agreement."
REPORTS
401. Office Of The City Manager — Kevin L. Smith
City Manager Kevin L. Smith asked the City Commission to hear some information regarding the Journeys
Academy as "You all had asked for an update."
Chief Brunelle gave an update on recent conversations and research related to Journeys Academy students being
transferred to Winter Springs High School including statistics, Contracts, and criminal activities. Chief Brunelle
noted, "I can tell you though, that I am going to stay on top of this. The Police Department is going to continue to
have a heavy presence over there, when we're able to, to make sure that anybody, whether it be a Journeys
(Academy) child, whether it be a Seminole High (School) student or whether it be a Winter Springs student that's
districted for Winter Springs - let them know that we're not going to tolerate it."
C ITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 9 OF 27
Continuing, Chief Brunelle reviewed statistics related to Journeys Academy students, Winter Springs High
School, criminal activities, and communication efforts.
Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs spoke of her concern with the email that Winter Springs High School Principal
Dr. Michael Blasewitz had sent which seemed to be contradictory to what the Commission had been informed
about; and asked for clarification on who the Chief thinks should meet with the Seminole County Public Schools -.—�
School Board to further review this matter.
Chief Brunelle stated, "I think the more who are in the know of what's going on and why they've decided to send
the children over here." Chief Brunelle also said, "I was concerned that in a two (2) year period of time over at
Journeys (Academy), they had two hundred reported incidents over there and if those contracts are being enforced
over there, why are there 200 criminal incidences going on at Journeys (Academy) — so I want to make sure that
doesn't happen over here."
Commissioner Krebs suggested, "I too would like to know that; and so then I would wonder if the Commission —
I am sure there are people up here that would like to know that too; and then perhaps, ask the City Manager to
arrange a joint meeting - regarding some of these questions or issues, or maybe you have a better idea of where to
start from."
Manager Smith mentioned that Mayor Lacey, Chief Brunelle, and he had had met with Dr. Blasewitz, Principal of
Winter Springs High School and Mr. Walt Griffin, Executive Director of Secondary Education, Seminole County
Public Schools to discuss this matter.
Commissioner Krebs added, "I am just concerned the School Board doesn't even know and makes decisions not
totally based on being in the know."
With further remarks, Chief Brunelle said, "We made it clear to them and they made it clear to us that they were
going to communicate with us and that they wanted to know."
Commissioner Krebs added, "Those very people that we Elect to the positions that they are in, may not be aware
of some of what is happening, yet they are Voting on changes within the School District and things like that
without even having that knowledge, and I guess those people need to know as well." Chief Brunelle said,
"Correct."
Mayor Lacey said, "Communication is key and it is also very difficult because one thing, I have had School Board
Members tell me directly, Journeys (Academy) kids never cause any problems because they have got this
contract; but then when you dive into it a little bit more, you find out well, but if they have been out of Journeys a
year, they are not considered Journeys kids anymore; so, there is no tracking of that." Mayor Lacey then
commented on other exceptions - and agreed that perhaps the School Board Members are not aware of some of
the exceptions. Commissioner Krebs agreed with this.
Mayor Lacey noted, "Dr. Blasewitz expressed a desire to come here on a regular basis — to be available to us at
our Commission Meetings; so, we should be seeing him in the future."
Discussion followed on one -on -one meetings with School Board Members.
Chief Brunelle then commented on his Department being pro- active and noted, "I am going to take a zero
tolerance to any criminal activity on that campus. "
Commissioner Krebs said to Chief Brunelle, "If you write anything up or you have any [Non Police] report — or
summary on any of this, I would really like a copy." Chief Brunelle responded, "Absolutely." Manager Smith
noted, "The Chief is quite frankly, all over this - we'll come back and report to this body on a periodic basis,
when we have information, so you all know exactly what's going on."
CI TY O F WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 10 OF 27
With further comments, Commissioner Brown suggested that all of the meetings and everything that we do wit��
the School Board needs to be in a formal setting and needs to be on the Record in order for us to be able to hol
them accountable." Commissioner Krebs said, "Good point." _
Additionally, Commissioner Brown noted a discussion he had with Winter Springs resident Mr. Kevin Canno
who had spoken with Mr. Griffin about Winter Springs students. Commissioner Brown added, "I would like t
make sure that they understand every step of the way that it is their job to make sure they provide a saf
environment for our residents, and our teachers, and our students — and it doesn't really matter where those kids`
come from."
Commissioner Brown then mentioned that Mr. Cannon had suggested that we "Put together a Citizens
Committee, a Winter Springs independent School Ad Hoc Committee, whatever we want to call it, made up of
interested Attorneys and CPA's (Certified Public Accountants) and other members of the community who have a
vested interest in our schools, who have students in our schools; to be a watchdog over what is happening at the
School Board, to keep us informed, to keep residents informed, and to be beholden to us but also be a part of that
formal process in looking at Budgets and understanding their budget requirements..." Commissioner Krebs
remarked, "...I would support that."
Continuing on this thought, Commissioner Brown and Commissioner Krebs suggested bringing back an Agenda
Item; to which Commissioner Brown added, "Can we do that ?" Manager Smith stated, "If that's the Consensus
of this body, yes Sir." Commissioner Krebs then suggested, "Bring it back as an item so we can discuss it further
and decide right then and there." Commissioner Jean Hovey nodded in favor of this. No objections were voiced.
Mayor Lacey asked the Commission what they would like Manager Smith to do. Commissioner Brown
suggested, "I think just put it on an Agenda when we can have ample time to discuss it..." Commissioner Krebs
agreed saying "...Exactly." Mayor Lacey summarized, "The will of the Commission."
Further comments followed on Seminole High School, where the students from Journeys Academy went,
contracts, and Magnet Programs possibly being relocated. Commissioner Cade Resnick asked if we could try to
get one of the Magnet Programs to Winter Springs.
Discussion continued on statistics, infractions, and violations. Regarding data about the infractions and which
students are committing crimes, Chief Brunelle stated, "When I have those numbers, you'll be the first to know
that."
Mayor Lacey stated, "We are getting close to what I think is the real issue and that is that we have got a High
School here that has our name on it, but we have absolutely no control over what happens there or who attends
there and yet if someone is coming to bring a business to Winter Springs, they are going to go look at Winter
Springs High School and make judgments about our community based upon what they see there."
Additionally, Mayor Lacey stated, "It is very important to us that Winter Springs High School reflect the Winter
Springs community — so, we encouraged them and I have asked the Commission to do the same, in whatever form
you can provide that Winter Springs High School will be about Winter Springs' kids, as much as possible."
Brief discussion continued on recent arrests.
Manager Smith asked, "Is the Commission — satisfied with the information; that it meets what you all were
looking for; and that again, we'll come back to you all as much and as often, as we see necessary to make sure
you all are fully up to speed on this issue." Members of the City Commission nodded in agreement.

Next, information related to an email sent out last week from Ms. Stephanie Wolfe, Water Conservation
Coordinator, Public Works Department was addressed by Manager Smith. Manager Smith explained it was the
first step in the communication process; and that it was followed by an eAlert which went out today.
Tape 1 /Side B
Manager Smith explained, "Progress Energy by law, has the ability to "Trim trees to clear their power lines."
Some slides related to recent trimming by Progress Energy were then shown. Manager Smith added, "Again, it's
certainly within their right to do this; and the City - has no control over this trimming." Manager Smith added,
"Those trees that have not reached power line height, actually fifteen feet (15') or less I believe — we're going to
attempt to do some re- location and/or re- plantings of those trees to provide trees that do have the best chance for
success."
Mr. Steve Richart, Urban Beautification Division Services, Community Development Department further
commented on this process.
With further discussion, Deputy Mayor Bonner inquired, "Will you be bringing back a detailed plan timing
calendar, types of trees and so on, yet to come, that we will be able to share with citizens as this project unfolds ?"
Manager Smith responded, "Yes Sir. Again, this was just the first step in our extensive, elongated communication
process."
Additional remarks from Mr. Richart continued.
Deputy Mayor Bonner then remarked, "The ones between Vistawilla (Drive) and Tuscora (Drive) are more
mature - and were even more dramatically affected by this recent trimming exercise; so, I think that is where the
residents are going to have the greatest amount of bond with those trees. And so we want to take a very careful
effort to make sure that they understand; so, there may be an opportunity for us to offer choices for example, and
the residents might appreciate the opportunity to perhaps choose the replacement tree that will be in the right -of-
way that abuts their immediate property."
Manager Smith said to Deputy Mayor Bonner, "Everything that you just articulated is the plan. Yes, Sir."
Deputy Mayor Bonner added, "I appreciate the effort that is being taken on behalf of enhancing our canopy and
the right tree at the right place and embracing the residents concern as those are addressed — thank you; just keep
us informed, will you please, is my request." Manager Smith stated, "Yes, Sir." Furthermore, Manager Smith
said, "Our intent is not to take down the huge, mature live oak trees that have been trimmed, but rather the smaller
trees that have not matured to that point, that we can potentially save and relocate or replace. We don't intend to
take those other trees down at all."
Mr. Richart added, "I just wanted to make sure everybody knew, that this was a City -wide program. It's not just
in Tuscawilla. It's something we're doing throughout the City. Progress Energy is on a three (3) year schedule
for these."
Discussion.
Manager Smith remarked, "We're very fortunate to have folks like Stephanie (Wolfe), Steven ( Richart), and
Randy (Stevenson, ASLA, AICP, Director, Community Development Department) — that care about our tree
canopy. They care about what's going on with the arbor in the City."

Mr. Terry Zaudtke, 2065 Wiggley Farms Road, Sanford, Florida: presented to the City of Winter Springs, a
framed photograph he had taken of eagles near the Winter Springs Town Center.
Mr. Bob Henderson, 635 White Ibis Court, Winter Springs, Florida: remarked about some recent fires in some
Highlands condominiums and how impressed he was to see that Building Official Michael Scheraldi was there to
assist the residents and make sure they were taken care of; and complimented the City on the excellent customer
service provided by Building Official Michael Scheraldi.
Mr. Kevin Cannon, Esquire, Post Office Box 3151, Orlando, Florida: commented on issues related to Seminole
County Public Schools and how it affects Winter Springs' schools; and asked the City Commission to consider
creating an Advisory Board/Committee with membership to include Parent- Teachers Associations (PTA's) and
whoever else the City Commission would consider appointing to such a Board/Committee.
Discussion ensued on Seminole County schools.
Mayor Lacey said to Mr. Cannon, "The Commission has asked the City Manager to put together an Agenda Item
specifically to discuss doing that and we would invite your participation." Mr. Cannon stated, "I'd be happy to do
that." Furthermore, Mr. Cannon remarked, "Most of the parents that I spoke with probably wouldn't be able to sit
down and look at some of the financial spreadsheets; not just from a fiscal standpoint, but also from a
governmental fiscal standpoint like your office could Kevin — and so, just having the ability for us to work
collectively and collaboratively as a community to assist the School Board in steering their new path."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 14 OF 27
Discussion followed on a conversation Mr. Cannon had with Mr. Walt Griffin, Executive Director of Secondary

Members; and keeping the children safe at schools.
Further comments ensued on working with the School Board; quality of the community; and concerns with

Deputy Mayor Bonner thanked Mr. Cannon and suggested a magnet program be re- located to Winter Springs, to
which Mr. Cannon agreed.
Continuing the discussion, Deputy Mayor Bonner mentioned the issue of Economic Development to Manager

City is in the Central Florida area and might work well within the desired location of the GreeneWay and State
Road 434.
Discussion continued on Magnet Programs; whether Winter Springs High School had Magnet Programs; and
what Magnet Programs were at other Seminole County schools.
Mr. Cannon mentioned that in discussing these issues with Mr. Griffin, "I said to him, has the District explored
the wisdom of not concentrating a large number of the young men and women coming out of the Journeys
(Academy) program, but rather, disseminating them in an equitable way ?" Mr. Cannon thought that in the next
discussion with the School Board, that this could hopefully be addressed.
Further discussion.
Mr. Cannon added, "It is critical in my humble opinion, that we proactively are engaged on the front end of how
these attendance boundaries are going to be drawn." Mayor Lacey added, "That is one of the core issues - the
attendance boundaries. Mr. Cannon then said, "But also the Magnet program, as well."

Deputy Mayor Bonner offered his "Compliments to Staff. I can understand the magnitude of this undertaking."
Mayor Lacey opened the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.
V=7
Mr. Paul P. Partyka, 292 Solaris Wharf Street, Winter Springs, Florida: commented on this being important to
the concept of the Winter Springs Town Center and thought this was a good solution. Mr. Partyka thanked City
Staff and the Mayor and the City Commission, and suggested that a Press Release be issued on this.
Mayor Lacey closed the "Public Input "portion of the Agenda Item.
Deputy Mayor Bonner then commented on a "Very small irregularly shaped lot which is at the entrance to our
Central Winds Park and High School." Deputy Mayor Bonner mentioned a Developer interested in this property
and stated, "I just want to make sure that in a T3 [(Suburban Zone)] designation, we could have single story
Commercial ?" Mr. Howell explained, "The single story — we have a couple of asterisks in there. It's says there
should be a one foot (P) minimum raised first floor height above the side walk for residential uses. I would think
though based on that it doesn't really specify that commercial has to be multi -story so based on that interpretation
I believe it could be one (1) story."
Deputy Mayor Bonner then asked, "Does Staff feel that they have the latitude necessary to work with applicants
in a T3 [(Suburban Zone)] designation were a proposal to come forward that met with our aesthetic guidelines and
so on and appropriate uses that we deem necessary to have a single story commercial structure built within the
T3 ?" Manager Smith said, "Yes, Sir."
The second parcel that Deputy Mayor Bonner inquired about "Is across the street from that particular parcel, there
is another parcel which I have also in my years of this service had an opportunity to meet with some applicants for
that particular parcel." Deputy Mayor Bonner mentioned that this parcel does not seem to be within the Town
Center.
Mr. Stevenson stated that that parcel "Is not in the Town Center. It was the subject of a Development Agreement.
That's known as the commercial part of Heritage Park and part of the Development Agreement there was that that
commercial parcel would develop in accordance with the Town Center Code on several things such as street
frontage, two (2) story buildings, things of this nature. So, it is not in the Town Center but there was also an out
whereby a Developer could request to be relieved of — I think there were three (3) separate items Anthony
(Garganese), that were encapsulated into that document."
Deputy Mayor Bonner asked, "Were we to change the Town Center Code as proposed by this item, how does that
affect that Developer's Agreement and how does that affect the treatment of that parcel, relative to the new
choices of designations, T5 [(Urban Center Zone)], T4 [(General Urban Zone)], T3 [(Suburban Zone)] and so on.
How would that unfold in some prospective development of that parcel which is bound by that Developers
Agreement. How does that take place ?"
Attorney Garganese said, "We'd have to go and take a look at that Development Agreement and let you know
before the next meeting. I don't have that Agreement in front of me — it does go back some time, maybe about ten
(10) years." Deputy Mayor Bonner remarked, "Okay."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 19 OF 27
Deputy Mayor Bonner then asked, "Is there an approach that says that that parcel possibly should be incorporated
into the Town Center development plan and then have an official designation and therefore create a —
modification to the Developer's Agreement or it would be a decision that this body could undertake to say, there
are parcels that possibly now we may want to consider bringing into the Town Center PUD (Planned Unit
Development) because that might be the more prudent course of action which would allow the designation to take
place and maybe do away with some of that confusion that you may be about to undertake there Anthony
( Garganese)."
Attorney Garganese noted, "There's a binding Development Agreement on the property, so that property owner
had rights under the Development Agreement, as well as the City. Whether or not the new proposed new Town
Center Code is more advantageous for the property owner to develop, is an issue that if it was, they could seek an
Administrative Re- Zoning or request an Amendment to the Development Agreement." Attorney Garganese said
he would review this matter.
With further comments, Deputy Mayor Bonner referenced the Post Office and a parcel immediately behind it and
noted, "Possibly that parcel may be a parcel that this body or a future body would want to entertain its
incorporation into the Town Center PUD (Planned Unit Development)."
Mr. Stevenson commented, "It's certainly a possibility." Mr. Stevenson noted that he would look into this.
Discussion.
Deputy Mayor Bonner referenced the southern border of the Town Center and "A certainly uplands parcel here
which is almost surrounded by or is bordered by Town Center on three (3) sides" and said that his constituents
were very interested in the future use of that property. Deputy Mayor Bonner suggested "It may make sense for
us to look at whether or not we want to bring this parcel into our Town Center PUD (Planned Unit Development)
so that future plans for that parcel, the residents that have that concern, can certainly know that it was subject to
the Zoning and the vision that we have for the Town Center."
Manager Smith said, "What I think I'm hearing you say is that we need a comprehensive analysis of all
contiguous properties to the Town Center for potential inclusion, if appropriate, into the Town Center." Deputy
Mayor Bonner stated, "Yes, you are following." Manager Smith added, "And, we will do that."
With further remarks, Deputy Mayor Bonner then mentioned another parcel "Right across the street here which
again is a parcel that I know the residents that I represent have a keen interest in its future use as well."
Mr. Stevenson noted, "Anything that happens in here also would be subject pursuant to some agreements and I
don't have the specific ones but they would be subject to a public Charrette which will also give the public the
input they need, not only on the design but whether or not it is included in the Town Center and if it is, in which
Transect."
Deputy Mayor Bonner added, "Those neighbors I know — some of those residents, were the residents that brought
forward so appropriately in the Workshop the need for this transitional change and I know that bringing the end
result of this to be that that incorporation would be there, to help soften that transitional change - I think would go
a long way towards appeasing concerns that I have heard voiced in the past." Mr. Stevenson stated, "Yes, Sir."
Further brief comments followed on the L.D. Plante property.

Further comments.
Vice Chairperson Chmura mentioned they were interested in developing a "Community Enhancement Program
and we may include things like a `Yard of the Month' or a `Business of the Month' Award' to citizens or
businesses in the City."
Chairperson Acevedo then stated, "We need funds. I will come out and say it. We need money — to go ahead and
have our preservation and revitalization projects."
Mayor Lacey suggested, "The proper way for that to happen is for Steve (Richart) to represent you to the City
Manager when we do our Budget deliberations, coming up fairly soon now."
Deputy Mayor Bonner asked, "I am wondering if you have a long range plan or particular projects that are
envisioned that would aid our beautification, aid our property values, aid our Economic Development, and
therefore be candidates for funding consideration ?"
Vice Chairperson Chmura mentioned their "Neighborhood Improvement Grant Program" and explained, "The
majority of the programs that have come to fruition, have been successful. We would like to be able to continue
to do that. But we understand we don't have the funds at this time."
Deputy Mayor Bonner remarked, "Is that an item that Staff could aid you with in terms of your vision, because
you all are providing the vision, right? So, the vision where Staff could get their hands around some dollars and
cents of it and have that come back to the Commission where we could entertain that as a potential budget item, if
we see the economic benefit to the community obviously. In my view, there would be support for those initiatives
that we can really see some tangible return; and even if it is in the long range."
Deputy Mayor Bonner commented on Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Development and S.E.E.D.
(Seminole Economic Enhancement District) monies as possible funding sources.
Continuing, Deputy Mayor Bonner referenced a recent presentation by the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Committee and stated, "They have undertaken a very exhaustive long range sort of view about all the potential
future bicycle paths and pedestrian paths that potentially could come into existence within our City, beyond what
we all know and use and enjoy today.
CITY O F WINTE SPRINGS FLORIDA MIN CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 25 OF 27
Certainly as those assets are envisioned and studied by Staff, certainly we would want to bring those assets into
our City beautified — we would want them to be attractive as well as functional and so that may be a situation
where you all in your service and that Committee in its service, are working together on sort of a Master Plan and
of course, that would come back to the question of funding and grant sources and various dollar sources, in the
long range vision of the Beautification of Winter Springs as well as pedestrian and bicycle access. I could see
how you all could really start working together as it were, to the extent that is permitted and how that is done."i
Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Bonner said to the Beautification of Winter Springs Board Members, "Thank you for
the work that you and your predecessors have done on the beautification of our City. It certainly resonates in our
property values."
Chairperson Acevedo added, "I don't believe in using any General Funds at all for any of the projects that we
proposed — I am a firm believer in keeping as much money in the pocket as possible. I just hope that you continue
to lend Mr. Richart to us and he is a very smart man and I know he has done a great job at finding ways through
Grants and things like that for us to be able to fulfill our projects. I know that we come before you asking about
funds and we are not giving you any numbers and things like that and I know that makes it quite difficult as a
result; but I assure you that that is something that we will be working on and present that to you."
Mayor Lacey and Members of the City Commission thanked the Beautification of Winter Springs Board.
Further brief comments.
PUBLIC INPUT
Ms. Helga Schwarz, 720 Galloway Court, Winter Springs, Florida: addressed the City Commission on Public
Hearings Agenda Item "502" and in terms of the L.D. Plante property mentioned, "When we were presented with
the Affordable Housing project that was presented by Atlantic Housing (Partners, LLLP), after the Public Hearing
that evening, or the meeting that we had, two (2) gentlemen approached me that were representatives of that
property; and they mentioned that they have brownfields on that property that has to be cleaned up; and their
concern was when Atlantic Housing (Partners, LLLP) put their retention ponds in, that there would be potential
for leeching.
So, I did see a map when they were showing that piece of property up there. I think that when you do go to
entertain developing in that area, that you get full disclosure from those owners exactly to the extent of which the
contamination might pervade those properties. And, I don't know if there are any super fund sites set up for that;
other than maybe just brownfield sites; but I think you just need to have that piece of information before you go
forth and develop; but they are the part of L.D. Plante family, that holds that property."
Secondly, Ms. Schwarz mentioned a disease affecting trees all over the southeast of the United States called
"Laurel Wilt" and that the trees most affected are Avocado trees, Laurel trees, and Redbay trees. Ms. Schwarz
mentioned some trees in the Highlands including in the drainage fields, have been affected and it is a very
intrusive disease. Ms. Schwarz suggested that Staff and the citizens should be educated on this disease; and also
hoped that no one would be penalized for cutting off any affected tree limbs.
Thirdly, Ms. Schwarz complimented the "K -9" program but suggested that if this was such a valuable program,
that it should then be a budgeted item, especially since the program is used all over the City.
Further discussion followed on the "Laurel Wilt" and that the Division of Forestry has a map showing the extent
of the "Laurel Wilt" disease, and thought pertinent information should be communicated with the public.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 26 OF 27
Ms. Schwarz was then asked about her service on the Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency. With
brief discussion, Ms. Schwarz mentioned that she thought the City was on the correct and right track with the
development of the City.
Mayor Lacey closed "Public Input ".

RECOMMENDATION:"
Staff and the Planning & Zoning Board recommend that the City Commission approve: 1) the Final
Engineering Plan for Jesup's Landing, and 2) modification to the Developer's Agreement, subject to the
City Attorney's review and approval, and authorize the City Manager to prepare and execute any and all
applicable documents.
In other City business, Mr. Fields further addressed the previous parking spaces comments noted during the
discussion of Public Hearings "504" and remarked, "I want to just clarify one item — a correction in the Jesup's
Landing parking. The Townhome units do not have two (2) spaces in the driveway. They have two (2) car
garages and they've added parking by providing additional on- street designated parallel parking spaces and by the
four (4) parking pods, where they have a total of forty (40) spaces. So, Jesup's Landing has a total of sixty -five
(65) more parking spaces now, than the previous plan and they have fourteen (14) fewer units, but no driveway
spaces."
Manager Smith said to Mr. Fields, "Your answer to the question, `Is there adequate parking ?' has not changed.
The answer is still `Yes' ?" Mr. Fields stated, "Yes."
Commissioner Krebs then said to Mr. Fields, "You said `Designated parking'. Is the `Designated parking' to the
house, or is it `Designated parking' saying, `Here is where you are allowed to park' ?" Mr. Fields responded by
saying, "It's striped, on street parking. That's what I mean by designated."

REPORTS
401. Office Of The City Manager — Kevin L. Smith
City Manager Kevin L. Smith asked the City Commission to hear some information regarding t e Journeys
Academy as "You all had asked for an update."
Chief Brunelle gave an update on recent conversations and research related to Journeys Academy st dents being
transferred to Winter Springs High School including statistics, Contracts, and criminal activities. C ief Brunelle
noted, "I can tell you though, that I am going to stay on top of this. The Police Department is going t• continue to
have a heavy presence over there, when we're able to, to make sure that anybody, whether it b: a Journeys
(Academy) child, whether it be a Seminole High (School) student or whether it be a Winter Springs s udent that's
districted for Winter Springs - let them know that we're not going to tolerate it."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA OFFICIAL MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 9 OF 27
Continuing, Chief Brunelle reviewed statistics related to Journeys Academy students, Winter Springs High
School, criminal activities, and communication efforts.
Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs spoke of her concern with the email that Winter Springs High School Principal
Dr. Michael Blasewitz had sent which seemed to be contradictory to what the Commission had been informed
about; and asked for clarification on who the Chief thinks should meet with the Seminole County Pu"3lic Schools
School Board to further review this matter.
Chief Brunelle stated, "I think the more who are in the know of what's going on and why they've decided to send
the children over here." Chief Brunelle also said, "I was concerned that in a two (2) year period of time over at
Journeys (Academy), they had two hundred reported incidents over there and if those contracts are being enforced
over there, why are there 200 criminal incidences going on at Journeys (Academy) — so I want to make sure that
doesn't happen over here."
Commissioner Krebs suggested, "I too would like to know that; and so then I would wonder if the Commission —
I am sure there are people up here that would like to know that too; and then perhaps, ask the City Manager to
arrange a joint meeting - regarding some of these questions or issues, or maybe you have a better idea of where to
start from."
Manager Smith mentioned that Mayor Lacey, Chief Brunelle, and he had had met with Dr. Blasewitz, Principal of
Winter Springs High School and Mr. Walt Griffin, Executive Director of Secondary Education, Seminole County
Public Schools to discuss this matter.
Commissioner Krebs added, "I am just concerned the School Board doesn't even know and makes decisions not
totally based on being in the know."
With further remarks, Chief Brunelle said, "We made it clear to them and they made it clear to us that they were
going to communicate with us and that they wanted to know."
Commissioner Krebs added, "Those very people that we Elect to the positions that they are in, may not be aware
of some of what is happening, yet they are Voting on changes within the School District and things like that
without even having that knowledge, and I guess those people need to know as well." Chief Brunelle said,
"Correct."
Mayor Lacey said, "Communication is key and it is also very difficult because one thing, I have had School Board
Members tell me directly, Journeys (Academy) kids never cause any problems because they have got this
contract; but then when you dive into it a little bit more, you find out well, but if they have been out of Journeys a
year, they are not considered Journeys kids anymore; so, there is no tracking of that." Mayor Lacey then
commented on other exceptions - and agreed that perhaps the School Board Members are not aware of some of
the exceptions. Commissioner Krebs agreed with this.
Mayor Lacey noted, "Dr. Blasewitz expressed a desire to come here on a regular basis — to be available to us at
our Commission Meetings; so, we should be seeing him in the future."
Discussion followed on one -on -one meetings with School Board Members.
Chief Brunelle then commented on his Department being pro- active and noted, "I am going to take a zero
tolerance to any criminal activity on that campus. "
Commissioner Krebs said to Chief Brunelle, "If you write anything up or you have any [Non Police] report — or
summary on any of this, I would really like a copy." Chief Brunelle responded, "Absolutely." Ma_aager Smith
noted, "The Chief is quite frankly, all over this - we'll come back and report to this body on a pe-iodic basis,
when we have information, so you all know exactly what's going on."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA OFFICIAL MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 10 OF 27
With further comments, Commissioner Brown suggested that all of the meetings and everything that we do with
the School Board needs to be in a formal setting and needs to be on the Record in order for us to be able to hold
them accountable." Commissioner Krebs said, "Good point."
Additionally, Commissioner Brown noted a discussion he had with Winter Springs resident Mr. K: vin Cannon
who had spoken with Mr. Griffin about Winter Springs students. Commissioner Brown added, "I ould like to
make sure that they understand every step of the way that it is their job to make sure they provide a safe
environment for our residents, and our teachers, and our students — and it doesn't really matter whe e those kids
come from."
Commissioner Brown then mentioned that Mr. Cannon had suggested that we "Put togethe a Citizens
Committee, a Winter Springs independent School Ad Hoc Committee, whatever we want to call it, made up of
interested Attorneys and CPA's (Certified Public Accountants) and other members of the communit who have a
vested interest in our schools, who have students in our schools; to be a watchdog over what is hap e ening at the
School Board, to keep us informed, to keep residents informed, and to be beholden to us but also be . part of that
formal process in looking at Budgets and understanding their budget requirements..." Commis ioner Krebs
remarked, "...I would support that."
Continuing on this thought, Commissioner Brown and Commissioner Krebs suggested bringing bac an Agenda
Item; to which Commissioner Brown added, "Can we do that ?" Manager Smith stated, "If that's th - Consensus
of this body, yes Sir." Commissioner Krebs then suggested, "Bring it back as an item so we can disc ss it further
and decide right then and there." Commissioner Jean Hovey nodded in favor of this. No objections ere voiced.
Mayor Lacey asked the Commission what they would like Manager Smith to do. Commissioner Brown
suggested, "I think just put it on an Agenda when we can have ample time to discuss it..." Commis ioner Krebs
agreed saying "...Exactly." Mayor Lacey summarized, "The will of the Commission."
Further comments followed on Seminole High School, where the students from Journeys Academy went,
contracts, and Magnet Programs possibly being relocated. Commissioner Cade Resnick asked if we could try to
get one of the Magnet Programs to Winter Springs.
Discussion continued on statistics, infractions, and violations. Regarding data about the infractions and which
students are committing crimes, Chief Brunelle stated, "When I have those numbers, you'll be the first to know
that."
Mayor Lacey stated, "We are getting close to what I think is the real issue and that is that we have got a High
School here that has our name on it, but we have absolutely no control over what happens there or who attends
there and yet if someone is coming to bring a business to Winter Springs, they are going to go look at Winter
Springs High School and make judgments about our community based upon what they see there."
Additionally, Mayor Lacey stated, "It is very important to us that Winter Springs High School reflect the Winter
Springs community — so, we encouraged them and I have asked the Commission to do the same, in whatever form
you can provide that Winter Springs High School will be about Winter Springs' kids, as much as possible."
Brief discussion continued on recent arrests.
Manager Smith asked, "Is the Commission — satisfied with the information; that it meets what you all were
looking for; and that again, we'll come back to you all as much and as often, as we see necessary to make sure
you all are fully up to speed on this issue." Members of the City Commission nodded in agreement.

Next, information related to an email sent out last week from Ms. Stephanie Wolfe, Water Conservation
Coordinator, Public Works Department was addressed by Manager Smith. Manager Smith explained it was the
first step in the communication process; and that it was followed by an eAlert which went out today.
Tape 1 /Side B
Manager Smith explained, "Progress Energy by law, has the ability to "Trim trees to clear their power lines."
Some slides related to recent trimming by Progress Energy were then shown. Manager Smith added, "Again, it's
certainly within their right to do this; and the City - has no control over this trimming." Manager Smith added,
"Those trees that have not reached power line height, actually fifteen feet (15') or less I believe — we're going to
attempt to do some re- location and/or re- plantings of those trees to provide trees that do have the best chance for
success."
Mr. Steve Richart, Urban Beautification Division Services, Community Development Department further
commented on this process.
With further discussion, Deputy Mayor Bonner inquired, "Will you be bringing back a detailed plan timing
calendar, types of trees and so on, yet to come, that we will be able to share with citizens as this project unfolds ?"
Manager Smith responded, "Yes Sir. Again, this was just the first step in our extensive, elongated communication
process."
Additional remarks from Mr. Richart continued.
Deputy Mayor Bonner then remarked, "The ones between Vistawilla (Drive) and Tuscora (Drive) are more
mature - and were even more dramatically affected by this recent trimming exercise; so, I think that is where the
residents are going to have the greatest amount of bond with those trees. And so we want to take a very careful
effort to make sure that they understand; so, there may be an opportunity for us to offer choices for example, and
the residents might appreciate the opportunity to perhaps choose the replacement tree that will be in the right -of-
way that abuts their immediate property."
Manager Smith said to Deputy Mayor Bonner, "Everything that you just articulated is the plan. Yes, Sir."
Deputy Mayor Bonner added, "I appreciate the effort that is being taken on behalf of enhancing our canopy and
the right tree at the right place and embracing the residents concern as those are addressed — thank you; just keep
us informed, will you please, is my request." Manager Smith stated, "Yes, Sir." Furthermore, Manager Smith
said, "Our intent is not to take down the huge, mature live oak trees that have been trimmed, but rather the smaller
trees that have not matured to that point, that we can potentially save and relocate or replace. We don't intend to
take those other trees down at all."
Mr. Richart added, "I just wanted to make sure everybody knew, that this was a City -wide program. It's not just
in Tuscawilla. It's something we're doing throughout the City. Progress Energy is on a three (3) year schedule
for these."
Discussion.
Manager Smith remarked, "We're very fortunate to have folks like Stephanie (Wolfe), Steven (Richart), and
Randy (Stevenson, ASLA, AICP, Director, Community Development Department) — that care about our tree
canopy. They care about what's going on with the arbor in the City."

service provided by Building Official Michael Scheraldi.
Mr. Kevin Cannon, Esquire, Post Office Box 3151, Orlando, Florida: commented on issues related to Seminole

whoever else the City Commission would consider appointing to such a Board/Committee.
Discussion ensued on Seminole County schools.
Mayor Lacey said to Mr. Cannon, "The Commission has asked the City Manager to put together an Agenda Item
specifically to discuss doing that and we would invite your participation." Mr. Cannon stated, "I'd be happy to do
that." Furthermore, Mr. Cannon remarked, "Most of the parents that I spoke with probably wouldn't be able to sit
down and look at some of the financial spreadsheets; not just from a fiscal standpoint, but also from a
governmental fiscal standpoint like your office could Kevin — and so, just having the ability for us to work
collectively and collaboratively as a community to assist the School Board in steering their new path."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA OFFICIAL MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 14 OF 27

Deputy Mayor Bonner thanked Mr. Cannon and suggested a magnet program be re- located to Winter Springs, to
which Mr. Cannon agreed.
Continuing the discussion, Deputy Mayor Bonner mentioned the issue of Economic Development to Manager
Smith and noted that a Health Magnet Program might be a great idea for Winter Springs High School, as Medical
City is in the Central Florida area and might work well within the desired location of the GreeneWay and State
Road 434.
Discussion continued on Magnet Programs; whether Winter Springs High School had Magnet Programs; and
what Magnet Programs were at other Seminole County schools.
Mr. Cannon mentioned that in discussing these issues with Mr. Griffin, "I said to him, has the District explored
the wisdom of not concentrating a large number of the young men and women coming out of the Journeys
(Academy) program, but rather, disseminating them in an equitable way ?" Mr. Cannon thought that in the next
discussion with the School Board, that this could hopefully be addressed.
Further discussion.
Mr. Cannon added, "It is critical in my humble opinion, that we proactively are engaged on the front end of how
these attendance boundaries are going to be drawn." Mayor Lacey added, "That is one of the core issues - the
attendance boundaries. Mr. Cannon then said, "But also the Magnet program, as well."

Mr. Bobby Howell, AICP, Planner, Community Development Department reviewed the different Transect Codes,
new provisions, signage, and other revisions.
Deputy Mayor Bonner offered his "Compliments to Staff. I can understand the magnitude of this undertaking."
Mayor Lacey opened the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.
Mr. Paul P. Partyka, 292 Solaris Wharf Street, Winter Springs, Florida: commented on this being important to
the concept of the Winter Springs Town Center and thought this was a good solution. Mr. Partyka thanked City
Staff and the Mayor and the City Commission, and suggested that a Press Release be issued on this.
Mayor Lacey closed the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.
Deputy Mayor Bonner then commented on a "Very small irregularly shaped lot which is at the entrance to our
Central Winds Park and High School." Deputy Mayor Bonner mentioned a Developer interested in this property
and stated, "I just want to make sure that in a T3 [(Suburban Zone)] designation, we could have single story
Commercial ?" Mr. Howell explained, "The single story — we have a couple of asterisks in there. It's says there
should be a one foot (1') minimum raised first floor height above the side walk for residential uses. I would think
though based on that it doesn't really specify that commercial has to be multi -story so based on that interpretation
I believe it could be one (1) story."
Deputy Mayor Bonner then asked, "Does Staff feel that they have the latitude necessary to work with applicants
in a T3 [(Suburban Zone)] designation were a proposal to come forward that met with our aesthetic guidelines and
so on and appropriate uses that we deem necessary to have a single story commercial structure built within the
T3 ?" Manager Smith said, "Yes, Sir."
The second parcel that Deputy Mayor Bonner inquired about "Is across the street from that particular parcel, there
is another parcel which I have also in my years of this service had an opportunity to meet with some applicants for
that particular parcel." Deputy Mayor Bonner mentioned that this parcel does not seem to be within the Town
Center.
Mr. Stevenson stated that that parcel "Is not in the Town Center. It was the subject of a Development Agreement.
That's known as the commercial part of Heritage Park and part of the Development Agreement there was that that
commercial parcel would develop in accordance with the Town Center Code on several things such as street
frontage, two (2) story buildings, things of this nature. So, it is not in the Town Center but there was also an out
whereby a Developer could request to be relieved of — I think there were three (3) separate items Anthony
( Garganese), that were encapsulated into that document."
Deputy Mayor Bonner asked, "Were we to change the Town Center Code as proposed by this item, how does that
affect that Developer's Agreement and how does that affect the treatment of that parcel, relative to the new
choices of designations, T5 [(Urban Center Zone)], T4 [(General Urban Zone)], T3 [(Suburban Zone)] and so on.
How would that unfold in some prospective development of that parcel which is bound by that Developers
Agreement. How does that take place ?"
Attorney Garganese said, "We'd have to go and take a look at that Development Agreement and let you know
before the next meeting. I don't have that Agreement in front of me — it does go back some time, maybe about ten
(10) years." Deputy Mayor Bonner remarked, "Okay."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA OFFICIAL MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 19 OF 27
Deputy Mayor Bonner then asked, "Is there an approach that says that that parcel possibly should be incorporated
into the Town Center development plan and then have an official designation and therefore create a —
modification to the Developer's Agreement or it would be a decision that this body could undertake to say, there
are parcels that possibly now we may want to consider bringing into the Town Center PUD (Planned Unit
Development) because that might be the more prudent course of action which would allow the designation to take
place and maybe do away with some of that confusion that you may be about to undertake there Anthony
(Garganese)."
Attorney Garganese noted, "There's a binding Development Agreement on the property, so that property owner
had rights under the Development Agreement, as well as the City. Whether or not the new proposed new Town
Center Code is more advantageous for the property owner to develop, is an issue that if it was, they could seek an
Administrative Re- Zoning or request an Amendment to the Development Agreement." Attorney Garganese said
he would review this matter.
With further comments, Deputy Mayor Bonner referenced the Post Office and a parcel immediately behind it and
noted, "Possibly that parcel may be a parcel that this body or a future body would want to entertain its
incorporation into the Town Center PUD (Planned Unit Development)."
Mr. Stevenson commented, "It's certainly a possibility." Mr. Stevenson noted that he would look into this.
Discussion.
Deputy Mayor Bonner referenced the southern border of the Town Center and "A certainly uplands parcel here
which is almost surrounded by or is bordered by Town Center on three (3) sides" and said that his constituents
were very interested in the future use of that property. Deputy Mayor Bonner suggested "It may make sense for
us to look at whether or not we want to bring this parcel into our Town Center PUD (Planned Unit Development)
so that future plans for that parcel, the residents that have that concern, can certainly know that it was subject to
the Zoning and the vision that we have for the Town Center."
Manager Smith said, "What I think I'm hearing you say is that we need a comprehensive analysis of all
contiguous properties to the Town Center for potential inclusion, if appropriate, into the Town Center." Deputy
Mayor Bonner stated, "Yes, you are following." Manager Smith added, "And, we will do that."
With further remarks, Deputy Mayor Bonner then mentioned another parcel "Right across the street here which
again is a parcel that I know the residents that I represent have a keen interest in its future use as well."
Mr. Stevenson noted, "Anything that happens in here also would be subject pursuant to some agreements and I
don't have the specific ones but they would be subject to a public Charrette which will also give the public the
input they need, not only on the design but whether or not it is included in the Town Center and if it is, in which
Transect."
Deputy Mayor Bonner added, "Those neighbors I know — some of those residents, were the residents that brought
forward so appropriately in the Workshop the need for this transitional change and I know that bringing the end
result of this to be that that incorporation would be there, to help soften that transitional change - I think would go
a long way towards appeasing concerns that I have heard voiced in the past." Mr. Stevenson stated, "Yes, Sir."
Further brief comments followed on the L.D. Plante property.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The potential tax revenue of the proposed project is as follows:
Townhomes (171 units)
Units (2,155 square foot average) assessed at $90 /square foot: $33,165,450 assessed tax value
(2,155 x 90 = 193,950 x 171 units = $33,165,450)
$33,165,450/1000 = 33,165.45
33,165.45(2.5814) = $85,613.29
$85,613.29 (less the 4% statutory discount) = $82,188.76 tax revenue
Taxes paid on vacant land now (data obtained from Seminole County Property Appraiser)
$4000 assessed per platted lot:
(185 platted lots x 4000 /unit = $740,000) $740,000 assessed tax value
740,000/1000 = 740
740 x 2.5814 = $1,910.23 $1,910.23 tax revenue

original Development Agreement being Approved and I am holding that original Development Agreement in

recording provisions of the original Development Agreement."

The Office of the City Clerk has provided information via emails regarding the Mayor and City
Commission's interest in hearing from the Beautification of Winter Springs Board. This was also
addressed at the Beautification of Winter Springs Board's recent meeting in preparation for meeting with
the City Commission.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Commission is requested to hear from members of the Beautification of Winter Springs Board
and discuss any matters they deem of interest with the Beautification of Winter Springs Board and City
Staff, as applicable.
Chairperson Roberto Carlos Acevedo, Vice Chairperson Larry Chmura, Board Member Alice Bard, and Board
Member Lorry Roero introduced themselves to the City Commission.
Chairperson Acevedo presented a PowerPoint presentation which reviewed many of the accomplishments of this
Board.
Discussion followed on how many historic trees are in the City and how tree age is determined.
Tape 2 /Side B
Further comments.
Vice Chairperson Chmura mentioned they were interested in developing a "Community Enhancement Program
and we may include things like a `Yard of the Month' or a `Business of the Month' Award' to citizens or
businesses in the City."
Chairperson Acevedo then stated, "We need funds. I will come out and say it. We need money — to go ahead and
have our preservation and revitalization projects."
Mayor Lacey suggested, "The proper way for that to happen is for Steve (Richart) to represent you to the City
Manager when we do our Budget deliberations, coming up fairly soon now."
Deputy Mayor Bonner asked, "I am wondering if you have a long range plan or particular projects that are
envisioned that would aid our beautification, aid our property values, aid our Economic Development, and
therefore be candidates for funding consideration ?"
Vice Chairperson Chmura mentioned their "Neighborhood Improvement Grant Program" and explained, "The
majority of the programs that have come to fruition, have been successful. We would like to be able to continue
to do that. But we understand we don't have the funds at this time."
Deputy Mayor Bonner remarked, "Is that an item that Staff could aid you with in terms of your vision, because
you all are providing the vision, right? So, the vision where Staff could get their hands around some dollars and
cents of it and have that come back to the Commission where we could entertain that as a potential budget item, if
we see the economic benefit to the community obviously. In my view, there would be support for those initiatives
that we can really see some tangible return; and even if it is in the long range."
Deputy Mayor Bonner commented on Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Development and S.E.E.D.
(Seminole Economic Enhancement District) monies as possible funding sources.
Continuing, Deputy Mayor Bonner referenced a recent presentation by the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Committee and stated, "They have undertaken a very exhaustive long range sort of view about all the potential
future bicycle paths and pedestrian paths that potentially could come into existence within our City, beyond what
we all know and use and enjoy today.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA OFFICIAL MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 27, 2012 PAGE 25 OF 27
Certainly as those assets are envisioned and studied by Staff, certainly we would want to bring those assets into
our City beautified — we would want them to be attractive as well as functional and so that may be a situation
where you all in your service and that Committee in its service, are working together on sort of a Master Plan and
of course, that would come back to the question of funding and grant sources and various dollar sources, in the
long range vision of the Beautification of Winter Springs as well as pedestrian and bicycle access. I could see
how you all could really start working together as it were, to the extent that is permitted and how that is done."
Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Bonner said to the Beautification of Winter Springs Board Members, "Thank you for
the work that you and your predecessors have done on the beautification of our City. It certainly resonates in our
property values."
Chairperson Acevedo added, "I don't believe in using any General Funds at all for any of the projects that we
proposed — I am a firm believer in keeping as much money in the pocket as possible. I just hope that you continue
to lend Mr. Richart to us and he is a very smart man and I know he has done a great job at finding ways through
Grants and things like that for us to be able to fulfill our projects. I know that we come before you asking about
funds and we are not giving you any numbers and things like that and I know that makes it quite difficult as a
result; but I assure you that that is something that we will be working on and present that to you."
Mayor Lacey and Members of the City Commission thanked the Beautification of Winter Springs Board.
Further brief comments.
PUBLIC INPUT
Ms. Helga Schwarz, 720 Galloway Court, Winter Springs, Florida: addressed the City Commission on Public
Hearings Agenda Item "502" and in terms of the L.D. Plante property mentioned, "When we were presented with
the Affordable Housing project that was presented by Atlantic Housing (Partners, LLLP), after the Public Hearing
that evening, or the meeting that we had, two (2) gentlemen approached me that were representatives of that
property; and they mentioned that they have brownfields on that property that has to be cleaned up; and their
concern was when Atlantic Housing (Partners, LLLP) put their retention ponds in, that there would be potential
for leeching.
So, I did see a map when they were showing that piece of property up there. I think that when you do go to
entertain developing in that area, that you get full disclosure from those owners exactly to the extent of which the
contamination might pervade those properties. And, I don't know if there are any super fund sites set up for that;
other than maybe just brownfield sites; but I think you just need to have that piece of information before you go
forth and develop; but they are the part of L.D. Plante family, that holds that property."
Secondly, Ms. Schwarz mentioned a disease affecting trees all over the southeast of the United States called
"Laurel Wilt" and that the trees most affected are Avocado trees, Laurel trees, and Redbay trees. Ms. Schwarz
mentioned some trees in the Highlands including in the drainage fields, have been affected and it is a very
intrusive disease. Ms. Schwarz suggested that Staff and the citizens should be educated on this disease; and also
hoped that no one would be penalized for cutting off any affected tree limbs.
Thirdly, Ms. Schwarz complimented the "K -9" program but suggested that if this was such a valuable program,
that it should then be a budgeted item, especially since the program is used all over the City.
Further discussion followed on the "Laurel Wilt" and that the Division of Forestry has a map showing the extent
of the "Laurel Wilt" disease, and thought pertinent information should be communicated with the public.

Ms. Schwarz was then asked about her service on the Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency. With
brief discussion, Ms. Schwarz mentioned that she thought the City was on the correct and right track with the
development of the City.
Mayor Lacey closed "Public Input".

In other City business, Mr. Fields further addressed the previous parking spaces comments noted during the
discussion of Public Hearings "504" and remarked, "I want to just clarify one item — a correction in the Jesup's
Landing parking. The Townhome units do not have two (2) spaces in the driveway. They have two (2) car
garages and they've added parking by providing additional on- street designated parallel parking spaces and by the
four (4) parking pods, where they have a total of forty (40) spaces. So, Jesup's Landing has a total of sixty -five
(65) more parking spaces now, than the previous plan and they have fourteen (14) fewer units, but no driveway
spaces."
Manager Smith said to Mr. Fields, "Your answer to the question, `Is there adequate parking ?' has not changed.
The answer is still `Yes' ?" Mr. Fields stated, "Yes."
Commissioner Krebs then said to Mr. Fields, "You said `Designated parking'. Is the `Designated parking' to the
house, or is it `Designated parking' saying, `Here is where you are allowed to park' ?" Mr. Fields responded by
saying, "It's striped, on street parking. That's what I mean by designated."
