RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Commission approve the Preliminary Engineering Plan for Winter Springs Townhomes. Mr. Fields introduced this Agenda for discussion and addressed location, infrastructure, and other aspects of this proposed project. Regarding parking, Mr. Fields noted, "There are approximately ninety-five (95) on -street parking spaces spread throughout the community — we'll have to do a parking analysis to study that a little further and make sure we have the right amount of parking for the Town Center Code. Mr. Fields then pointed out, "This is a Preliminary Plan. There are a number of reports that have yet to be prepared that our Staff will review including geotechnical review, traffic, ecological study, water and sewer analysis. I mentioned parking, as well as fiscal analysis. All of those reports come in at Final Engineering, as well as the Aesthetic Review, and we will review that package and bring it back to the Commission." Further comments. Mr. Jorge L. Sardinas, Partner, Cdp - Catalyst Development Partners, 5000 Sawgrass Village Circle, Suite 5, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida: addressed the Mayor and City Commission and stated, "We have put the sixteen (16) acre +/— parcel under agreement and decided to partner with Dream Finders [Homes] on the multifamily component. The commercial component which we are in the process - we've selected - a national retail broker to work with us and prepare some collateral and we're going to take that out to the market starting in March of this year; aggressively seek out tenants who are basically a specialty anchor grocery with three (3) outparcels and some inline retail to be constructed on the eight (8) acres that abut [State Road] 434 and Michael Blake [Boulevard] in the front part of the property." Continuing, Mr. Sardinas said, "We've shared some Preliminary Concept Site Plan concepts with Brian (Fields). Part of the process is to go out there and aggressively market this and get good quality tenants that come in; at which time we'll circle back with Brian [Fields] and his Staff to come up with a good concept that works for both the end user, and the City and Staff here." Discussion. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 8, 2018 PAGE 13 OF 19 Commissioner Pam Carroll inquired, "Is it your intent to focus on commercial next to this parcel or for the rest of the CalAtlantic [Homes] that curves around by the McDonald's? Because there are commercial parcels that were promised there." Mr. Sardinas remarked, "As part of our first takedown of the property, that right now is basically where multifamily is being developed. There is a +/- one (1) acre piece that is next to the McDonald's that we also acquired in that first take down, and that same retail broker will be taking that out to market as well; that'll be just a one off development piece. I'm not sure what that would be right now. There is basically three (3) acres that are right here in the front, bifurcated by a new road that is being built to the apartments - that's for a coffee shop that has already been submitted or in process right now, and there's a few other tenants that we're negotiating with right now to finalize that, and those will be brought in shortly. So, I suspected that just the way things are, and the length of time that it takes to find good tenants, negotiate leases, and go through the process of the City, that that'll happen first with the bigger commercial following, hopefully shortly thereafter." Commissioner Geoff Kendrick asked about the anticipated absorption rate for the proposed townhomes. Mr. Aaron Reid, Director of Land, Central Florida, Dream Finders Homes, 360 Corporate Way, Orange Park, Florida: responded, "Right now - we're looking at roughly about three (3) per month." Furthermore, Mr. Reid said, "For moving in — so far as of right now, we're showing it somewhere between three to five (3 — 5)." Commissioner Kendrick then asked, "Are you going to start pre -selling before..." Mr. Reid remarked, "...Yes - we want to try and do everything as fast as possible." Deputy Mayor Cade Resnick inquired about the planned sizes of the townhomes to which Mr. Reid explained, "Right now, what we're looking at on the size is currently we've got them all set as twenty foot (20'), however we're looking to doing maybe some more premium units on the outside as like a twenty-four (24) product, and then on the interior units doing twenty foot (20') — so, we're still kind of playing with all that to try and make sure everything works out properly and adding some diversity into the mix of it." Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Resnick pointed out, "This is almost pretty much the end of the land for our primary Town Center area. Having lived in a 30 foot (30) townhome, it holds its value when a downturn occurs, traditional townhomes did not. And so my concern would be something between the two (2). Twenty (20), it's still small and then if we can go from apartment to this, I think you get a whole lot more traditional moves." Mr. Reid remarked, "We want to bring maximum people and value altogether. We want to make sure that we're putting in a premium product that is going to hold its value as well as bring value to the Town Center - so we don't want to detract away from it in any kind of form or fashion." Commissioner Kendrick said to Mr. Fields, "Right at the beginning of your presentation you spoke of a Developer's Agreement and the multifamily aspect of it — is that the old Developer's Agreement or is that a new Developer's Agreement for the Catalyst project?" Mr. Fields stated, "That's the current Developer's Agreement - that applies to the Catalyst property that was done at the time of the apartments." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 8, 2018 PAGE 14 OF 19 Further comments. Commissioner Kevin Cannon inquired, "From the time you come back and get our final approval by the Commission, what is your timeframe for the build -out of this project?" Mr. Reid stated, "I would say probably an eight (8) month build -out time is what I am hoping for. I will know a little bit more once I dig in with the Engineering - as far as what we're going to have to do on sitework and everything else." Concluding, Mr. Reid remarked, "Dream Finders Homes is a relatively new company to Central Florida, however, we are based out of Florida in Jacksonville; and it's very meaningful to us that we want to make sure that we're setting a clear presence of who we are, what we represent, and what we do. So, we want to make sure that our products are premier products." "MOTION TO APPROVE." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER CANNON. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KENDRICK. DISCUSSION. VOTE: DEPUTY MAYOR RESNICK: AYE COMMISSIONER CANNON: AYE COMMISSIONER CARROLL: AYE COMMISSIONER HOVEY: AYE COMMISSIONER KENDRICK: AYE MOTION CARRIED. On a related note, Commissioner Cannon said to Attorney Garganese, "You have got Catalyst, you've got the current landowner, and you've got Dream Finders - how is that Development Agreement going to come back to us to address this larger commercial parcel and so forth?" Attorney Garganese responded, "Based on the representation from the representative from Catalyst, it looks like everything south of the Tree Swallow [Drive] extension is intended to be Commercial; but the Development Agreement currently, does not require it. The Development Agreement only requires the portion that I identified as Commercial along [State Road] 434 to be Commercial..." Commissioner Cannon asked, "...Would that be something we would amend?" Attorney Garganese commented, "Yes." Further remarks. REPORTS REPORTS 600. Office of the City Attorney — Anthony A. Garganese, Esquire No Report. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 8, 2018 PAGE 15 OF 19 REPORTS 601. Office of the City Manager — Kevin L. Smith City Manager Kevin L. Smith referenced City Commission travel opportunities as well as related appropriated funds and asked if the City Commission wished to consider a formal Travel Policy. Commissioner Cannon noted that he had just registered for the Florida League of Cities' Legislative Action Days and it was his intention to travel to Tallahassee at the end of January, and asked about available funds. Manager Smith suggested that if the City Commission wanted to consider a Travel Policy, it could be brought back and discussed during the upcoming Budget discussions; however, if the City Commission thought there was a more immediate need, then with direction, something could be brought back sooner than later. Discussion. Commissioner Carroll asked if monies were currently budgeted for many of the different kinds of meetings the Mayor and City Commission typically attend. Comments continued. Deputy Mayor Resnick mentioned he has traveled for many Florida League of Cities' Advocacy meetings and had not charged the City for travel related expenses. Discussion ensued on possibly placing this matter on a future Agenda for further consideration, expenditures, events in Tallahassee and Washington, D.C., the Florida League of Cities' Legislative Action Days, and advocacy matters. Commissioner Jean Hovey inquired as to how to decide which Elected Officials would represent the entire body. Further remarks. In working towards a possible Consensus, Mayor Lacey suggested, "Why don't we have this come back as an Agenda Item for discussion but not ask the City Manager to actually put a Policy in front of us. I think the question is more, do we need a Policy, and then we can kind of hone in on if we do need a Policy, the direction of that Policy. I think it might be worthwhile to ask Andrea (Lorenzo-Luaces, City Clerk) to get us a summary of what the other six (6) cities in Seminole County do as a Policy and this is just for guidance and that discussion." Commissioner Hovey stated, "I agree with that." Commissioner Carroll, Commissioner Kendrick, and Commissioner Resnick nodded in favor. Manager Smith recommended including Seminole County in the information gathering, to which Commissioner Hovey also suggested, "The County." Mayor Lacey remarked, "Sure." No objections to this were voiced. Commissioner Cannon pointed out that, "If it could be handled on an interim basis and not have to adopt formal written Policy, I am fine with that too." Commissioner Carroll commented, "Yes." No objections were noted.

No objections were voiced. Commissioner Hovey mentioned that she would not be at the first March City Commission meeting. REPORTS 604. Office of Commissioner Seat Two - The Honorable Kevin Cannon Commissioner Cannon addressed the earlier comments about a possible change to the meeting time, and asked if the City Commission might be interested in this matter coming before the City Commission as an Agenda Item. Continuing on this suggestion, Mayor Lacey said, "What I am looking for is whether we have three (3) members of the Commission who want to see this come back as an Agenda Item." Commissioner Carroll commented on previous meeting times and attendance and said, "I would like to see it come back as an Agenda Item." Commissioner Cannon remarked, "I would like it to come back as an Agenda Item for further discussion." Not hearing any other agreement, Mayor Lacey summarized, "There doesn't seem to be the sentiment to do it." Concluding his Report, Commissioner Cannon commented on a High School robotic team that he mentors and their recent impressive efforts.

REPORTS 606. Office of Commissioner Seat Four/Deputy Mayor - The Honorable Cade Resnick Deputy Mayor Resnick pointed out that the Legislature was considering taking away Municipal Home Rule on arbor issues and asked if there might be agreement by the City Commission to write a letter opposing what the Legislature has proposed. Commissioner Cannon said he was in agreement with this. Mayor Lacey asked, "Is there another Commissioner who wants to support that idea?" Commissioner Carroll noted, "I will."
