PUBLIC HEARINGS
402. Office of the City Attorney
REQUEST:
On behalf of the Police Chief, the City Attorney requests that the City Commission consider on First
Reading of Ordinance No. 2016-01 authorizing law enforcement to seize and impound motor vehicles that
are used to facilitate certain enumerated misdemeanor crimes and parking and traffic violations within the
jurisdictional limits of the City, and establishing a special magistrate procedure to afford violators an
opportunity to contest the impoundment and related penalties and costs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact related to the adoption of this Ordinance other than staff and attorney time
to prepare the Ordinance and Agenda Item. However, the Ordinance will require that the City
Commission appoint a special magistrate to timely conduct hearings under the Ordinance. As such, the
City will be responsible for incurring special magistrate fees related to the hearings. The fees will depend
on the future negotiated rate and the case load handled by the special magistrate.
Special magistrate fees are not recoverable against the code violator as "costs" under Chapter 162,Florida
Statutes. See Op. Att'y Gen. Fla. 14-04 (2014) (s. 162.07(2), Fla. Stat. does not allow a city to recover
against a code violator the fees paid to a special magistrate or to the special magistrate's assistant).
However, violations of this Ordinance shall be subject to a $500 civil penalty, plus costs. It is uncertain as
to how much the City will collect in penalties and costs because that amount is dependent upon the
occurrence of a violation.
Furthermore, the City will retain the services of one or more towing companies in order to implement this
Ordinance. The costs related to the towing and storage of motor vehicles will be paid for by violators. If a
special magistrate determines that a motor vehicle was improperly seized and impounded by the City,the
City will attempt to negotiate favorable terms and conditions with the towing companies related to the
costs associated with the improper impoundments.

This Agenda Item has been electronically forwarded to the Mayor and City Commission, City Manager,
City Attorney/Staff, and is available on the City's Website, LaserFiche, and the City's Server.

Furthermore,this information is also available to any individual requestors. City Staff is always willing to

RECOMMENDATION:

Ordinance will advertised in a newspaper of general circulation and a Second and Final Reading will occur
at a City Commission meeting in January.

REQUEST:
The Public Works Department, Urban Beautification Division, is requesting that the City Commission
hold a public hearing for the first reading and approve of Ordinance 2016-03,updating sections of Chapter
5,Tree Protection and Preservation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Currently, contributing to the arbor fund is cost prohibitive for most residents and is a replacement option
that is rarely used. It is expected that once the contribution amount is lowered, more residents will utilize
this replacement option, which will provide money to the arbor fund to be used for the
installation/maintenance of trees on public property.

approval through the Arborist or the group that the Arborist belongs to that the Arborist sign off, his or her
Director signs off, and the City Manager signs off."
Commissioner Carroll said, "I also agree with reducing the contribution to the Tree Bank. Commissioner Carroll
added, "And I agree with Commissioner Krebs that there should be three (3) people signing off instead of it
coming to us." Commissioner Carroll also hoped that real estate sales would not be held due to the approval
process.
Mayor Lacey said, "I would be content for it to be the City Arborist with the approval of the City Manager, not
having a chain of people involved in that approval process."
Commissioner Cannon said, "I concur with Commissioner Krebs and with Commissioner Carroll—I would like to
see the recommendation suggested by Commissioner Krebs."
Deputy Mayor Jean Hovey mentioned the financial amounts and asked if there was a payment plan if needed.
Discussion followed on payments going to pay a water bill and has there been a problem in the past with this.
Ms.Monica said that in the last four(4)years no one has used that option.
Mayor Lacey opened the "Public Input"portion of the Agenda Item.

City Manager Kevin L. Smith suggested, "Staff can evaluate this over a period of time and if we deem it to be a—
problem or people are coming to us and expressing a hardship, we could certainly come back to this body and
recommend some type of changes accordingly."
Commissioner Krebs clarified, "Sixteen inch (16") inch tree, up to but not including the twenty-four (24), they
would contribute to the Tree Bank or have trees planted somewhere." Ms. Monica said, "Correct."

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Commission approve updated Master Plans for Central Winds Park,
Torcaso Park,and Trotwood Park.
Mr. Chris Caldwell,Director,Parks and Recreation Department introduced this Agenda Item for discussion.
Mr. Terry Zaudtke, CPH, Inc., 500 West Fulton Street, Sanford, Florida: addressed the City Commission and
stated,"I'm going to talk first about Trotwood—the Master Park Plan for Trotwood—because most of these items
on Trotwood are underway, and it necessitated a revision to your overall Master Plan because when you look at it,
the main area,as we come in here, is all going to be changed. And that's currently under Bid."
Continuing, Mr. Zaudtke pointed out, "As you see right here, this entrance right through here is going to provide
you with a new interconnect through there. And, there's going to be like a table top so that we don't have any
speeding through traffic, through there. That will prevent -people from just zipping right through that portion of
the park.
There are revisions there for parking, paving, and the tennis courts, as well. So, that's pretty much everything
that's in the works down there. We've got your existing Splash Pad - overall, the actions are to take new
landscaping around the tennis courts, which is item number `1', new decorative paving area, number `2' around
the basketball,the south entrance which we talked about, and this project is out for Bid."
With comments from Mr. Fields, Mr. Zaudtke stated, "So you'll see that on your next Commission Meeting as an
Agenda Item. The new sidewalk in there, new parking lot, changes to the existing— I believe the other changes
that are there, are in the south parking lot area for future work in there to make some improvements on the parking
lot, to extend it, and to repair the kiosk that's down in that area. So, that pretty much takes care of Trotwood
Park."
Commissioner Carroll said, "At Trotwood, there are a couple of pavilions where the sidewalk does not line up, so
for ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) accessible and for the parking lot that is closer to the Fire
Station, are we going to be able, Brian Fields and Chris (Caldwell), connect the parking lot directly to that
pavilion `A',assuming we can recapture it from the birds?"
Mr. Caldwell replied, "Yes, Ma'am." Commissioner Carroll continued, "Because it is a good two inches (2"),
almost three inches (3") —to get a wheelchair up there. Am I to understand that any and all ADA accessibility
issues will be resolved?" Mr. Caldwell confirmed, "Yes, they will." Commissioner Cannon then remarked, "I
support that comment of Commissioner Carroll."

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-JUNE 13,2016 PAGE 19 OF 34
Mr. Maxwell Spann, Landscape Architect, CPH, Inc., 500 West Fulton Street, Sanford Florida: stated, "I just
want to talk over these improvements we have here for the next two (2) parks in our Master Planning process.
With Torcaso Park, it was really more of an organization, sort of a `coming together' of the existing Torcaso Park
and then Sunshine Park where we have the Senior Center over here.
So, during this design process we sat down with City Staff and we just looked at really how we could start to
organize, and then we added little elements to the different parks. So, in this, you'll see that we've added some
new entrances, we've added some access ways, we've added some parking. You can actually probably see the
parking a little bit better on your personal plans that you have. And then connections out here to —North Moss
Road — then a new entrance here. Another kind of design feature we looked at was what we'd do with First
Street. Right now, First Street kind of comes in and angles up there, and so what we wanted to do, we wanted to
make this more of a whole park area behind these residences."
Mr. Spann continued, "On First Street,we actually straightened that out,we've got the existing Fire Station here—
we straightened that out,we have a new entrance into the neighborhood here. And then along this, we start to get
some multipurpose kind of playing field areas in here and then we are going to upgrade the pond, add some
landscaping, add some different features, make some additions to the play areas, do a gazebo, and some different
things.
I guess one of the biggest features we talked about in the Torcaso Park was doing a basketball, kind of a field
house, 20,000 square foot." Furthermore, Mr. Spann noted, "Our concept for that is we'll have an indoor portion,
that basketball field house, and then the roof will extend sort of cantilever out and then we'll have an outdoor
covered basketball area. That's one feature that doesn't actually exist in a lot of municipalities; so, that'll be a
special feature that we can have here. Of course,we're going to need extra parking, number 14' -that's additional
parking. What we tried to do was line it up, so we have, facades along Moss Road here, and then connect it back
to the Senior Center.
At the Senior Center, the upgrades are going to be additional parking and then we have what we call a `fitness
zone'. In a lot neighborhoods or municipalities you'll see kind of this running track with different fitness stations.
What we're trying to do is—we just put it all in one place, so you don't have to travel a long distance in between
those and then you can have sort of an outdoor fitness area in the shade, but you know, you can be in one place,
not kind of running all over.
In case any emergencies happen, back in this wetland area here, we're going to run some trails through here and
then, try to make a connection eventually over here to the Trail if we can. But, out here to [State Road] 419, we
have to stay away from the commercial zone, but in this wetland area, if we can, also have some Frisbee golf
areas - that's really what this Master Plan was about; it was more of an organization and coming together of the
two(2)parks to make this a bigger, more expanded,more wholesome park for this portion of the City."
Commissioner Cade Resnick stated, "Respectfully to the discussion that just occurred and what I just heard from
the gentleman that was speaking, when I brought this up several different times, the term `Destination Park' was
definitely part of my idea and then several Commissioners were in agreement with that.
I understand the basketball push Chris (Caldwell), but one of the things we definitely spoke about was a themed
park and a themed ideology, and when I looked—and yes, I am away so I have not had a chance to call you, Chris
since this came out, what the gentleman just said is not what we had originally spoken about or what my idea in
my head was from our discussions on the dais. It is essentially, sections `6', `7', and `8' at the bottom; `9', `10',
and `11' —there is no destination or themed perspective in here and maybe that is coming in the future.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-JUNE 13,2016 PAGE 20 OF 34
Yet, respectfully, if we are going to be putting this together as a Master Plan, I would like to see us take this back
and rework several of these things so that in the future, as we move forward, the idea of a themed park is there
and not just a `Well,we're making what's best for the community now.' It is supposed to be something from two
(2)years old to twenty(20)years old people can be there. So,that was what I thought this would be when it came
out and at this point in that picture, it is not."
Mr. Caldwell addressed Commissioner Resnick and stated, "I share your thoughts on the—the language you used
with `Destination Park' - using it, Torcaso is becoming a `Destination Park'. The field house does offer a
destination for people to specifically come there for that. The playground elements that you had mentioned—we
do want to create some themed and dramatic play environments that would emphasize cognitive development.
Those would be such as space nets or anything that kids can learn from. Those would be detailed out at a later
date. It does include those areas.
What we tried to do is just locate an area within the park that that would fit, to consider parking, access,
sidewalks, vistas, and so forth; so, families could gather to see their kids on a playground as well as use other
elements of the park. Those will come, in detail,back to this Commission at a later date."
Commissioner Resnick said to Mr. Caldwell, "I just want to make sure that you and I are on the same page - a
`Destination Park', by my understanding and from the people I have spoken to, does not mean that people who
come to the park — it is a whole themed perspective, that people come specifically for that theme to that
destination. The only theme I am seeing here is a mishmosh of things. So, it is not just one (1)playground piece
of equipment, all the playground equipment integrates into its ideology. That is the big part that I was trying to
stress in prior meetings and maybe I did not get it across well enough."
Continuing, Commissioner Resnick referenced previous discussions and visuals and added, "I just want to make
sure that in the future that's what we are looking at and we are not left with this Master Plan and ten (10)years
from now we say, `Well,why did we do this?' I just want those specifics in there that were supposed to be there."
Mr. Caldwell stated, "Yes, Sir, it's my understanding and my desire as well that, yes, we will include that as the
elements of the themed playground and the park, and - along with the field house, along with the Frisbee golf,
along with the other elements that bring people to the park; yes, Sir, we want to keep that theme of dramatic play
or educational development going. So, it will be included."
Manager Smith commented, "To follow that up — if the rest of this body's desire is shared, they share
Commissioner Resnick's concerns, that's certainly memorialized in tonight's Record and we'll ensure that it
happens that way." No objections were voiced.
Deputy Mayor Hovey stated, "I agree with the `Destination Park' part of it and what Commissioner Resnick just
said, but on this Master Plan, is the Splash Pad currently located under the number `107' Mr. Caldwell replied,
"Yes, Ma'am." Deputy Mayor Hovey continued, "And that is where it is at?" Mr. Caldwell replied, "Yes."
Deputy Mayor Hovey added, "And does this whole plan take into account what we discussed a couple of
meetings ago about having benches to be able to dedicate to—at the Central Winds?"
Manager Smith noted, "Our proposal tonight— our presentation tonight includes that at Central Winds. If that's
not what you all were looking for, we need to talk about that, but we have it coming forward in Central Winds."
Deputy Mayor Hovey continued, "So, are we not putting any benches in anywhere in here?" Mr. Caldwell
answered, "There will be benches at the appropriate locations when the park is developed. There will be benches.
There's current benches out there now. Are you talking about memorial benches?"
CrrY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-JUNE 13,2016 PAGE 21 OF 34
Manager Smith stated,"Yes,that's what I was referring to." Deputy Mayor Hovey then remarked, "That is what I
was referring to is—because Central Winds is only so big,but okay,we will talk about that. But is there not room
in here for some?" Mr. Caldwell commented, "Oh, there's absolutely room, there's so many different styles that
we could certainly put some types of memorial benches in a park, in that park." Deputy Mayor Hovey added,
"And it may not be memorial but—honorary,too." Manager Smith agreed and said,"Honorary."
Deputy Mayor Hovey then inquired, "Are we closing North First Street? So, we are going to put landscaping on
the south side of North First Street — we are spending money to put landscaping there to have people look at
landscaping as they drive by?"
Mr. Spann commented, "I believe what that is, is a buffer. There's an existing neighborhood there with houses,
we need a buffer because we're actually redirecting North First Street. It has an angle currently." Deputy Mayor
Hovey said, "It is an existing street..." Mr. Spann confirmed, "...It's an existing street." Deputy Mayor Hovey
continued, "...So we are spending money to put landscaping there to buffer it from the apartments or
townhouses." As to whether there was landscaping currently there,Mr. Spann stated, "Minimal."
Next, Mr. Zaudtke commented, "Commissioner Hovey, part of the solution on that one was we were trying to
gain some additional land on the north side. And in order to do that - our trade-off was that we would realign
First Street." Mr. Zaudtke continued, "And so then that would put more of a buffer in here to accomplish that.
So, that we're changing this alignment instead of going up like this and leaving this isolated in here -we thought
that we would by redirecting it so that these intersections no longer align, that this would become a new corridor
and in order to do that we also wanted to make sure that we had a good buffer there."
Deputy Mayor Hovey stated, "At North First Street, which is probably a question for Brian (Fields), there is a
roundabout there. Is that roundabout going to be changed?"
Mr. Zaudtke remarked, "We were trying to maximize the usability of this tract on the north side. And so,this—is
there a roundabout there, Brian (Fields)?" Mr. Zaudtke continued, "It's over here..." Deputy Mayor Hovey
commented, "...It is over on Edgemon,that is right." With further discussion, Deputy Mayor Hovey stated, "This
is just North Fairfax..." Mr.Zaudtke continued, "...This is Fairfax(Avenue)where the old Utility building is."
Deputy Mayor Hovey said, "My other question is a parking question on Edgemon, Brian (Fields). Are the
parking spaces at number `14', are they going to be parallel parking spaces, back-in parking spaces, or just park
like they do now, wherever they feel like it?" Mr. Fields replied, "It's currently shown as parallel, but we have
the option to change that — if we like the back-in angled, that might be something to consider here." Deputy
Mayor Hovey stated, "I was just wondering because-people park there all the time."
Commissioner Carroll noted, "I am looking at number `1', up by the Senior Center, and right now it is a
basketball court and a baseball field — we are eliminating those and creating additional parking which is
desperately needed." Mr. Caldwell replied, "Yes,Ma'am. We're relocating the basketball court over to the other
side of this park, over here..." Commissioner Carroll pointed out, "...The children like it, but the Senior Center
usage dictates they need more parking." Mr. Caldwell replied, "Agreed, agreed."
Next, Commissioner Carroll referenced `2', her previous service on the Parks and Recreation Advisory
Committee, and mentioned that the Committee Members "Talked about outdoor exercise equipment and it was
the Consensus of that—Advisory Committee that if we were going to spend taxpayer dollars on it that it should be
placed at Central Winds Park, central in the City, for all taxpayers to avail themselves of, not just the seniors.
And we had a couple of seniors on the Parks Committee then and they said, `Look, the seniors - for example,the
weather we've been having now between the rain and the heat and humidity— `They are not going to go outside,
for the most part, and exercise or use exercise equipment.'
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-JUNE 13,2016 PAGE 22 OF 34
I think it is a waste of money to consider putting it at the Senior Center. Maybe somewhere else in this park
where more citizens could avail themselves - maybe even around the area where `13' is, have your different
stations where you can stop and exercise..." Mr. Caldwell commented, "...Yes, Ma'am." Commissioner Carroll
suggested, "In my mind — citizens aren't going to know it's really there if it's way up by number `2'. And the
seniors said, `We're not going to use it in the winter because it's too cold,we're not going to use it in the summer
because it's too hot and humid'." Commissioner Carroll added, "So, I would say eliminate `2' or relocate `2',
that's my opinion, but it's backed up by our group - nine (9) member Committee at the time, because we did
evaluate that kind of exercise equipment."
Mr. Caldwell mentioned, "Yes, Ma'am, could I just add to that — our discussions were about fitness zones for
health and not specifically going into what type of equipment —but it would absolutely be appropriate if it was
non-moving for that, and it was just an area there in that location that would be more appropriate for seniors and
we would do that. We are considering those fitness zones both at Central Winds and at Trotwood, as well. So,
we just put this on this plan and we'd like to do age appropriate, fitness appropriate,equipment appropriate for the
park it's going to be located in."
Commissioner Carroll stated, "I think that you will find the indoor activities, like `Zumba' and the other ones,the
seniors like, they get their cardio, et cetera. Are they going to go outside and do a `Zumba' class? Highly
doubtful." Mr. Caldwell noted, "Probably not." Commissioner Carroll continued, "Are they going to utilize
equipment outside for most of the year? Highly unlikely. Why not relocate it within Torcaso and make it
available to more. The existing basketball court at the Fire Station, where is that on this plan? And what are we
doing to it? Because - here are a couple of broken basketball — how are we handling that?" Mr. Caldwell
answered, "We're going to remove all that's there. There's the existing sidewalks within there. We're going to
take out everything and redesign that into two(2)full-sized courts."
As to the location on the map, Mr. Caldwell explained, "It's on this side of the pond, right here. And it was
piecemealed together, when it was, we had one (1) full-sized court, one (1) medium-sized court, and then one (1)
small court and there were sidewalks in between it. And so, it's in need of some renovations, so we're going to
redesign that whole area to make two(2) full-size usable courts."
Commissioner Carroll then noted, "Now our building number `5', multipurpose in the summer for that building?
I am wondering about the square footage. Can you accommodate teenagers who might want to go use basketball
courts in the building and house our summer camp activities? For example, will there be enough square footage,
looking ahead, at a multi use — are you going to have volleyball nets available, too? And if you have two (2)
groups — because it would be not a teen center, but draw teens and keep them off the streets." Commissioner
Carroll then suggested that an indoor place to play basketball would be great. Mr. Caldwell agreed and stated,
"Yes,Ma'am."
Continuing, Commissioner Carroll inquired, "But are you also still going to be able to accommodate the kids in
the summer camp and referenced one that accommodated children playing basketball outdoors as well as indoors,
children doing crafts in another space, and another area for eating and movie watching." Mr. Caldwell stated,
"We would like to be able to do that and those will be discussed when the design is in process." Commissioner
Carroll suggested, "But now is the time..." Mr. Caldwell said, "...Yes..." Commissioner Carroll continued,
"...To think of square footage." Mr. Caldwell remarked,"Yes."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-JUNE 13,2016 PAGE 23 OF 34
Commissioner Carroll commented, "And then the open space on number `6', what are we projecting that would
be used for? I can't tell how big it really is, it is way down the bottom." Mr. Caldwell stated, `6', right here."
Commissioner Carroll continued, "It is by North Fairfax and First Street and it's marked `6'." Mr. Caldwell
explained, "It's an open green space, right here—that's the old area where the Public Works is —we use it right
now for soccer. So, there are some kids that go out there and play soccer on it right now. It's just a big green,
open field." Commissioner Carroll asked, "So, it would be level and good for soccer?" Mr. Caldwell replied,
"Yes, it is good, it's in good condition right now."
Next, Commissioner Krebs stated, "Commissioner Carroll reminded me of something that I have not seen but that
we have talked about a few times. And that was the adult equipment that was approved,that for some reason, the
park group decided something on it and 1 don't think you really ever realized that it had been approved by the
Commission. So, I was wondering where that was, and I realized that you might say seniors might not use things
in the winter time,but most of that adult equipment that is used right now is used over in Europe, and we all know
how cold Europe gets. So,my question is where are we on that? What has happened?
And just normally, it is that not only can adults use it - it wasn't for seniors, it was for adults. And then there
were some pieces of apparatus that could be used by people - that were physically challenged in some way, that
they could use it as well. And seniors as well, too. So, I was just wondering where—and it should be among all
parks not just..."Mr. Caldwell replied, "...That's correct." Commissioner Krebs continued, "...the senior park."
Mr. Caldwell commented, "And—that was some of the discussions - `Where do we put this equipment?' and so
it's been considered. We've done some research, we've visited Lake Island [Park] which actually has a really
nice area that's a fitness zone. And so our goal was to get the information and then select the right park to put it
in; and then we started this process and felt like this was needed before we just picked a random place to put the
fitness equipment in. So, it's still on the board, and it still will be done as you've mentioned, it's just finding the
right location and it could be Central Winds Park, because that's—what was said. It could be a fitness zone, like
what we've mentioned. We could have one (1) or two (2) pieces of equipment, and we've talked about this
before. It could be one(1) or two(2)or three(3)pieces of equipment in several different parks..."Commissioner
Krebs added,"...Multiple parks." Mr. Caldwell remarked, "Exactly."
Commissioner Krebs then stated, "And the reason was because part of the time when adults are with their children
and they are playing or whatever..." Mr. Caldwell commented, "...That's right..." Commissioner Krebs
continued, "...They could also be exercising..." Mr. Caldwell said, "...That's right." With further remarks, Mr.
Caldwell mentioned, "So, we wanted to find the right spot in the parks, and so it's still on the board."
Commissioner Krebs continued, "It is on the board, but it has been approved, that is just it." Mr. Caldwell
commented,"Right."
Furthermore, Commissioner Cannon stated, "I have noticed around our City, the last few months that I've been
using crutches - you would be surprised that some of the handicapped places are way off to the side, by the
dumpsters and things. And I would like to revaluate that, Brian (Fields) if we could,just to make them a little
more centrally located because it is hard."
Commissioner Carroll stated, "And to your point—when I was on the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee,
I was unaware that the Commission had already approved dollars for the equipment, however, we had multiple
discussions on that Committee and we did not want to see all of the equipment located at the - Senior Center
where our average taxpayer wouldn't be able to avail and so I am disappointed seeing it tucked up here by the
Senior Center, number `2. Don't put it there, either put it somewhere else in Torcaso and incorporate the ADA
(Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990)..." Commissioner Krebs stated, "...Or put a piece there..." Mr.
Caldwell added, "...That was the idea, it was intended to be a fitness zone, not everything and all inclusive, so
yes,Ma'am,we will."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-JUNE 13,2016 PAGE 24 OF 34
Next, Commissioner Carroll suggested, "Please poll the seniors and ask them whether they would go out on these
ninety degree(90°) days when it is humid or in the winter,they are putting three(3) or four(4) sweaters on. And
figure out the percentage of time that a piece of equipment at zone `2' would be used. In other words, relocate it.
If they really want to use it, they will go somewhere else in Torcaso, especially if it is not far away. But don't
limit the access to zone `2' where other citizens won't see it and won't know about it. I still think Central Winds
is the best location."
Deputy Mayor Hovey mentioned that a poll was not necessary and further comments followed about senior
citizens.
Mr. Caldwell stated, "Could I address Commissioner Cannon's concerns, please? We had a gentleman, Jim
Winters come out to do an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) assessment of our parks so that we
looked at the parking at all the parks, the handicapped parking, as he mentioned. And we have addressed that at
Central Winds Park - and fixed that and brought it up to Code. We've also brought it— all the improvements at
Trotwood do include the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) as Commissioner Carroll mentioned
even to the pavilions,to the grill areas,to the parking areas; so,we have done that and we have met that Code and
we will continue to do that in the rest of the parks until we're done with it and completed that throughout the park
system."
Commissioner Cannon stated, "I just wanted to point out, Brian (Fields), that it's at private businesses like the
Speedway at the corner of Vistawilla Boulevard, the handicapped is all the way down by the dumpsters. So,
anyway, I just point that out because I think we should be friendly for residents that have short or long term
disabilities. I just think we owe it to our residents."
Manager Smith commented, "Just to follow up,Mayor,many of these improvements do include relocation of said
handicap spaces or ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) spaces and - Brian (Fields) and Chris
(Caldwell)—have worked with a few of our residents that have some challenges, to get their input and they seem
very pleased with what we've done. So, I think with the Consultants that we've hired and what we've done,Chris
(Caldwell),I think-everybody will be pleased."
Commissioner Krebs said, "Meeting Code is meeting Code. That is the lowest place you can be to pass, and in
school we used to call it a `D'. Our City is worth an `A', and I really want to see us strive for that. That's really
how I feel." Mr. Caldwell stated, "We will, absolutely." Commissioner Cannon added, "I agree, those are —
those are minimum Code provisions as Commissioner Krebs stated." Commissioner Cannon then remarked,
"Commissioner Krebs, I agree."
Related to Central Winds Park, Mr. Spann pointed out, "On this park, you can see bottom left-hand side over
here, we've got some design guidelines. In this one, of course, we've got some existing changes being made to
the park through the core here and that would be the roundabout,this extension of a road. We have some parking
going on that as well. We've got some sidewalks. Also want to point out -back-in parking stalls. And then, of
course, we have some ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) enhancements going on currently in the
eastern part of the park.
And this one — it's such a big park, it's spread out. Really, there's some organizational improvements that we
made to this park as well. Most of it would have to be the access - so people can get around the park. We've got
a lot of patrons coming to the park,we need some additional parking. We've expanded some areas, expanded this
parking. Kind of the future proposals that we have on this would be to extend Orange Avenue to the west and
then make some changes to that Wagner's Point over here on the west side and then Hicks Avenue, and then
make this more of a grid in here so -patrons can access this portion of the park and the fields over here for ingress
and egress.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-JUNE 13,2016 PAGE 25 OF 34
And then, in the north western corner of the park make some additions. We've got a—Terry (Zaudtke), is that a
water reclamation- storage tank down there. Utilize the roof of that. And number '11', I believe, is a new multi-
purpose building and then have some outdoor kind of event space, utilized the way that that feature's been
structurally designed for an event space outside.
Moving back to the east,you have a very large event here,but,you know, we looked on some Google images and
only about half of that's used because the grade steepens past about halfway through this open park area. And, so,
in order to draw people down toward the lake, actually do a formal amphitheatre event stage down here. So we
can—begin to use the entire area, draw people closer down to the lake, and then as —Commissioners, you were
speaking of—number `5', there is the employee recognition walk. I think that - might have been the feature that
you were talking about for the benches and items such as that. That's where we actually proposed that bench area
that would be the employee recognition walk. I'll let Chris(Caldwell)talk about that a little bit more.
Some new kind of formalized entries into the park there along Hicks Avenue, and then I think we can improve or
upgrade number `9' there, we can upgrade this little parking area and then construct a Trailhead for this —Cross
Seminole Trail there at number `9', so - it's sort of spread out,there are a lot of improvements to the park. There
are a lot of improvements currently going on, but that's really—per the design guideline, was start with the traffic
grid, work on that, improve parking, and then add some different elements spread throughout the park as the
improvements are needed and have been requested."
Commissioner Carroll mentioned Commissioner Cannon using crutches and her friends the Hale family attending
a Fourth of July event and for someone in a wheelchair, "It is not easy for our patrons who are disabled,unless we
make prearrangements to get a golf cart up to take them from the parking lot down - and then leave them in a
spot." Commissioner Carroll added that then arrangements would need to be made should someone need to use a
restroom or for some other need, and then inquired, "Have we put any thought into sidewalks along the edge of
our—I will call it our Fourth of July park? So,that you could have a wheelchair go down?"
Mr. Caldwell stated,"Yes,Ma'am,that it being incorporated—are you talking right here?" Commissioner Carroll
stated, "No." Mr. Caldwell noted, "This is our Fourth of July park area..." Commissioner Carroll commented,
"...Yes." Commissioner Carroll stated, "I am talking about sidewalks along there and maybe a sidewalk along
there. It would help for the Highland Games, and it would help for our Fourth of July. There are people in
wheelchairs and they can't get down there, they can't go down to hear the bands at the Highland Games or go
down and shop." Commissioner Carroll then suggested having a couple of sidewalks to get patrons closer.
Mr. Zaudtke commented, "Commissioner, if you proceed with having a limited stage down at the bottom, you'd
have to have access in order to—through there, and so you would incorporate that into that whole scene there. If
you take a look at this plan here, it's very interesting, what we did was we actually filled in this —because you
could see where the Highlands Games were,it was a well worn pattern,especially where the beer tents were.
So, you've got, like Max (Spann) said, you've got a lot of flat area in here in which you can gain accessibility
quite easily in there. But then the problem is going to come in, how you would work it out as to how you would
give access down there in the lower area because of the steepness. You get to — no more than a foot drop in
twenty feet (20') on a handicap access— so, we'll have to work out the designs in there; and it would depend on
what you want to have down there,you know, how much formality do you want to have down at the bottom?"
Commissioner Carroll remarked, "Over by number `10', way over by our water facility, have we given any
thought to water egress where we could have a City boat go and tour the coast line of Winter Springs -not a lot of
our citizens have access to boats on Lake Jesup,to just take a boat ride. They can go up to Black Hammock and-
maybe we could have a small fee." Commissioner Carroll suggested there might be an insurance liability with
this idea but as she had been asked by some people, so she wanted to bring this up.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-JUNE 13,2016 PAGE 26 OF 34
Mr. Caldwell responded, "We have looked into and I've talked with Kip (Lockcuff) about it —that's an intake,
right there -and it's not designed for a lot of boat activity." Commissioner Carroll noted, "We are talking one(1)
boat." Mr. Caldwell mentioned, "There are a lot of regulations involved - with that. So, we have looked into it.
We certainly will continue it." Further comments.
Deputy Mayor Hovey then referenced, Number `7' and said, "It says, `Proposed Orange Avenue extension.' Are
we going to do the extension before we spend money on plants?" Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Hovey remarked,
"Are we doing the landscaping and then later going to go on and add that road? Or are we going to add the road
and then do landscaping? We are going to add the road then do landscaping."
Next, Deputy Mayor Hovey mentioned, "The existing park that is on the north side of the main ball fields, I don't
see that in here, is that going away? There is the existing park, the one I showed you the bench at that time -the
bench faces the kids." Deputy Mayor Hovey suggested a bench facing where the ball fields are would be an
improvement.
Mr. Caldwell referred to ball fields to which Deputy Mayor Hovey asked, "Are we doing any upgrades with that
or anything?" Mr. Caldwell stated, "Yes, we will eventually - it doesn't have it on there, but that's part of our
playground replacement program that we're doing right now with all of our parks. And this year, we're doing
Moss, next year we're doing Torcaso. It is a big project, but we'll continue to do some small renovations as we
can and that one is scheduled to be - I don't know the exact time, but it is part of our playground replacement
program."
Deputy Mayor Hovey continued, "Because that one is used..." Mr. Caldwell stated, "...Yes Ma'am, it is..."
Deputy Mayor Hovey added, "...Twenty-four/seven(24/7)and there are baseball games going on." Mr. Caldwell
commented, "And those benches and the idea that we have, those can be done immediately. Those don't have to
wait until we do any type of replacement." Deputy Mayor Hovey stated, "Okay. And then the recognition walk-
there it is. That's great, but I thought we would maybe put it throughout all of our parks. And there's got to be
benches -the recognition walk, not just all of them in one area, but that's just something if we're putting benches
all over the place-and we can talk about that later.
The other thing is, you just mentioned the playground equipment at Moss and then this one. Are we doing any
other major renovations at any parks besides these three (3) major ones that we have?" Mr. Caldwell explained,
"We are doing one (1) playground replacement at Moss Park this year, right now, before this... Deputy Mayor
Hovey noted, "...This fiscal year is over..." Mr. Caldwell remarked, "...Yes, we'll have that done..." Deputy
Mayor Hovey said, "...And what is that because Moss is a busy place with the basketball nets and everything that
is there. What all is being replaced?"
Mr. Caldwell remarked, "The playground,the entire playground. It's old, it needs to be replaced, it's over twenty
(20)years old and so we're relocating it behind the basketball court and up against that wall, that resident's wall
so we're moving it over out by that smaller court and we're going to remove that and that whole area is going to
be a double shaded playground—for two to five (2 to 5) and five to twelve (5 to 12) and it's adjoining and it will
have access to the sidewalks,and it can be a really nice project."
Deputy Mayor Hovey then said to Mr. Caldwell, "And you just made a comment that the equipment there was
twenty(20)years old. Do we foresee replacing our equipment more often?"
Mr. Caldwell stated, "We've gone through and made our playground replacement plan and we are going to get
products that have a generally fifteen (15) year warranty on them and we are going to replace them as needed, as
the life expectancy of the equipment. It does depend on what type of equipment, what type of place, what
features we put out there. I think by adding the shade covers, we're going to extend the life of the equipment. I
think that's the one benefit where we've made a big improvement, by putting shade covers over it." Deputy
Mayor Hovey added,"They will probably be used more with shade covers."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-JUNE 13,2016 PAGE 27 OF 34
Referring to the Central Winds Park Master Plan, Commissioner Carroll asked, "Are these two(2)practice soccer
fields, right here?" Mr. Caldwell responded, "Those are actually game fields, there's a soccer field, right where
you're at there, and then this one here has a t-ball field and a soccer field." Commissioner Carroll then said,
"They weren't marked, and I seemed to remember soccer occurring on them."
Mr. Caldwell pointed out, "These are all our game fields over here on this side, and these are all our practice
fields over here." Commissioner Carroll, "So, our soccer field at Trotwood Park is going to be open for business
soon?" Mr. Caldwell stated, "Yes. In the fall, it is scheduled to be open in the fall. Those are our practice fields
at Trotwood Park."
With no further comments from Staff and the Consultants, Mayor Lacey asked Manager Smith, "What would you
like the Commission to do?"
Manager Smith stated, "The main goal Mayor, Commissioners, was to try to update Master Plans that were
approved previously by previous Commissions in the 2006 to 2009 era, make sure that they were reflective of the
current Commissions needs, desires and wants. If we have accomplished that or close to have accomplished that,
then we would be seeking approval of the Master Plans that are in front of this body tonight. Obviously, that
anything is subject to change.
The main thing I believe is to develop a revised starting point from where we were again, back in 2006 —2009.
So, I think this does that but most importantly, if the Commission feels like it does that then we would be seeking
number one(1),approval for the Master Plans in front of you and then I would go so far as to ask, if that would be
the case,that obviously the prioritization of the projects that are mentioned here would be at least in part, if not in
major part due to available funding which we will seek through future budget processes, Grants, so on and so
forth. But due to discussions we've had on the field house at Torcaso Park, I would be seeking just a general
Consensus that we bring that back to you all to begin the process of building that facility in the immediate future."
Mayor Lacey noted, "So a generalized approval subject to some of the comments that were expressed here,being
incorporated into it." Manager Smith stated, "Yes, Sir."
Deputy Mayor Hovey said to Manager Smith, "You touched on it, this is to update what is already on the City's
plans, and it could be brought back at any time to be reassessed... Manager Smith responded, "...Certainly..."
Deputy Mayor Hovey continued, "...To make changes as long as we don't have the building built; I don't mean
necessarily the 'building'..."
Manager Smith stated, "...Again, I — believe that the discussions that we've had in the past were that again,
there's a lot of things on those `old' Master Plans that were not reflective of the desires of this body, so we wanted
to make sure -that this dais was in agreement with where we were headed and what we were going to do but for
example, if this was approved, it would include, I will again give you the example of the multipurpose
recreational facility, a.k.a. the field house at Torcaso Park. Well, that still needs to come back to this body for
approval of whatever process we're going to take to build it, the bidding and whatever would be associated there,
designs and things like that; so, again it's always subject to the will of the Commission as everything is for that
matter."
Continuing, Manager Smith said, "To summarize, I don't believe that the 2006 - 2009 Master Plans reflect the
will of this body and I'd like to establish at least a starting point with these plans that hopefully do reflect that
will. That is the goal."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING—JUNE 13,2016 PAGE 28 OF 34
Deputy Mayor Hovey suggested, "Maybe once a year the plans are brought out to be reviewed to see what we
have done and where we still have to go to get to where this eventually will be taken care of, because things are
going to change and if it is reviewed more often, we are not going to have something that is eight (8)years old."
Mr. Caldwell said, "Great idea."
Manager Smith commented, "Agreed and hopefully there will be projects bought forward that are on this plan
frequently..." Deputy Mayor Hovey remarked, "And maybe if something is planned and designed and developed
and then we say `Well, that is really great but maybe this would go better than what is on the plans." Manager
Smith stated, "Certainly."
Commissioner Carroll commented on Trotwood Park progressing, reminded Mr. Caldwell of her concerns with
relocating the fitness zone at Torcaso Park and regarding the multipurpose building, to make sure that office
space, summer camp,multi uses as well as adult/youth basketball is considered.
Manager Smith noted, "That would be the purpose of hiring a design firm to design it Commissioner. We don't
have the expertise to do that. We can certainly put a wish list together - a reality is we always have to consider
funding and how much building we can afford so,we will certainly do all those things, absolutely."
Mayor Lacey said, "Safe in the knowledge that the Staff has heard the Commission's concern, is there sentiment
to approve the Master Plans?"
"MOTION TO APPROVE." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER KREBS. SECONDED BY DEPUTY

Modification to the Developer's Agreement for Nursery Road Warehouse, Phase IV,located on the south
side of Nursery Road near the intersection of Nursery Road and Talmo Street.

City Attorney/Staff, and is available on the City's Website, LaserFiche, and the City's Server.

Representatives who have requested Agendas/Agenda Item information, Homeowner's

additional copies available for the General Public, and posted at six(6) different locations around the City.
Furthermore, this information is also available to any individual requestors. City Staff is always willing to
discuss this Agenda Item or any Agenda Item with any interested individuals.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Staff recommends that the City Commission approve the First Modification of the Developer's
Agreement between Reeco Properties and the City of Winter Springs to allow the option of constructing an
8-foot opaque fence in order to save existing mature trees.
Ms. Amanda Webb, Planner, Community Development Department introduced and began the discussion on this
Agenda Item.
Discussion followed on trees, a proposed wall, Lake Lucerne Circle, buffers, and whether Staff had spoken with
the residents who would be behind proposed fencing and an opaque fence.
Mr. Randy Stevenson,ASLA,AICP, Director, Community Development Department added, "The intent is to still
provide the opaque screening that a block wall would do eight foot high, but with a fence, we don't have to put in
a continuous footer. If we put in a continuous footer for an eight foot wall, I'm estimating about five and half to
six foot wide footer which means I'm going to dig an eight foot trench through there to pour that, I'm going to
destroy a bunch of trees."
With further comments, Commissioner Krebs noted, "Some people feel more protected by a block wall than they
do by a wooden fence, and so it concerns me that we haven't even talked to them to find out what their preference
even is. They are the ones who have to live with this for the rest of their lives, if they choose to live there, or at
least a long period of time."
Mr. Stevenson stated, "I would agree and we will certainly do that before we move forward — if that's the
direction of this body tonight. We'll certainly will make sure they are aware and what the intent is and why the
change."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-JUNE 13,2016 PAGE 30 OF 34
Commissioner Krebs further asked about the quality of fence planned, how long would an opaque fence last, and
then what happens.
Mr. Stevenson commented, "That's going to be proposed by the Developer but if you look at the change—there
was a question as to why we had taken away - some of the statements about the wall. We are still making it
subject to our review from an aesthetic review standpoint in terms of quality, guarantee, color, overall aesthetics."
Commissioner Krebs noted that her main concern was the citizens,and getting their buy-in and/or thoughts.
Further comments followed on vinyl and what else might work.
Deputy Mayor Hovey stated, "I am in agreement with Commissioner Krebs. I think before we approve anything,
we need to check with the citizens or the residents that live behind that wall." Mr. Stevenson noted, "There are
two(2)and we will certainly contact them."
Attorney Garganese said, "No action seems to be necessary at this point and Staff will bring it back at a later
date." Mayor Lacey added, "They will confer with the adjacent residents and bring it back to our next meeting."
Mr. Stevenson remarked,"We will absolutely do that."
No action was taken on this Agenda Item.

Commissioner Krebs referenced the stamped concrete circle at Winter Springs Boulevard and suggested it needed
to be refreshed. Mr. Fields pointed out that"Tuskawilla Road is scheduled by Seminole County to be resurfaced,
I think it is within the next two (2) years. At that time, it's our cost. We can decide what products we'd like to
put back there and that would go before the City Commission."
Next, Commissioner Krebs mentioned that the "Free Little Library" turned out very nice and complimented Mr.
Greg Moore, Parks Supervisor, Parks and Recreation Department for his assistance with building the Free Little
Library and said she would like Mr. Moore to build another one, have it placed at City Hall, and Commissioner
Krebs said she would personally fund it.
Discussion followed on security and cameras, and if there was another possible location, and concerns with
vandalism, and for the record,cameras on City property.
Further remarks ensued on Commissioner Krebs funding a second "Free Little Library" and where else an
additional"Free Little Library"could be placed,at City Hall, or possibly near the Trail.
Deputy Mayor Hovey said"I think it is a great idea."
Manager Smith explained, "The asset belongs to the City. In order to accept the Commissioner's generous
donation, this body would have to do so, both in theory and in acceptance of the dollars because it would be an
amendment to the Budget regardless of the amount." Manager Smith added, "So, by action of this body now or
whenever,we could do so."
Mayor Lacey suggested Commissioner Krebs work with the City Manager on the details and bring it back as a
Consent Agenda Item. Commissioner Krebs stated, "I can do that."
