PEGULAP AGENDA
500) Non-Binding Preliminary Review for Tuseawilla Property Investors, LLC
Mr. Schmidt introduced the item and Mr. Ryan Stahl to provide a presentation.
Mr. Stahl presented on the proposed project, a car wash on the corner of State Road
434 and Tuskawilla Road, and briefly addressed concerns brought up by the Jesup's
Reserve HOA representative. Mr. Stahl noted previous discussions on a proposed
convenience store and difficulty finding other interested businesses.
Discussion followed on ownership of the parcel, current permitted uses, timeline for
demolition of the existing Pinch-A-Penny building, and what types of businesses
could potentially occupy the space should a car wash fail.
Mr. Stahl noted his group did now own the property and that demolition could begin
soon, potentially tied to construction of a proposed bank.
Regarding permitted uses, Mr. Schmidt noted that a car wash was not currently a
permitted use in the T-5 zoning district.
Further discussion followed on associated water consumption and the possibility of
getting a restaurant to come to the corner.
501) Non-Binding Preliminary Review for Anthem Care Management
Mr. Schmidt introduced the agenda item, noted the property was not currently in
the City limits but that the applicant would seek annexation and zoning designation
should they proceed with the project.
Mr. David Kirkland, representative ofAnthemCare, presented on a proposed 86-unit
assisted living facility (ALF), customer characteristics, and his belief that there was a
need for the facility. Mr. Kirkland also briefly commented on associated water usage.
Discussion followed on current permitted uses, aesthetics of the building compared
to other parts of the Town Center, and parking.
Mr. Schmidt noted that while an ALF was not an outright permitted use, it is a
conditional use in the T-4 zoning district.

S02) Discussion regarding the 2017 Fertilizer Ordinance
Mr. Schmidt introduced the item, provided a brief background, and invited
discussion.
Discussion followed on the previously passed ordinance which modified the
Seminole County model ordinance, the desire to revisit the issue and adopt the
model ordinance, the potential need for a lakeshore protection ordinance, and the
fact that Winter Springs was the only municipality that had not adopted the more
comprehensive model ordinance.
The Commission agreed that this issue should be revisited, noted some concerns
about ability to enforce residential fertilizer restrictions, and spoke about the
importance of education and sharing information with residents.
Commissioner Elliott asked about the installation of baskets in stormwater drains
and if Staff had done a cost-benefit analysis. Manager Boyle noted this had not been
done currently but that Staff could look into it.
Brief discussion followed on the potential of removing the enforcement section of
the ordinance. Attorney Garganese noted that it could be done if the Commission
desired. Several Commissioners voiced some concern about

Commissioner Cannon asked that more information be included in the minutes,
noting that some important discussions were not included.
Brief discussion followed on the possibility of transcripts being generated and
changes that could be made.
Manager Boyle explained that the City's agenda management software Granicus
potentially had an option to produce a transcript, and that Staff could look into this
and present at a future meeting.
Brief discussion followed on the current meeting minutes policy. Attorney
Garganese reviewed the options available for minutes and thought the Commission
was suggesting a move towards discussion minutes rather than the current action
minutes.

this to a future meeting.

ADD-ON ITEM) Golf Cart Discussion
Manager Boyle noted Staff was looking for direction on a potential future agenda
item, reviewed previous discussions on the allowance of golf cart operation within
the city, and the current ordinance in place. Manager Boyle noted the requirement
that streets be designated safe for golf cart operation and that signage be installed
advising operators. It was suggested that the City begin looking at Tuscawilla and
the Highlands first and then expand designated use areas.
Discussion followed with Commissioners noting confusion in the City about this
topic, the likelihood that the City would need to look beyond golf carts and include
electric bikes, scooters, and other low-speed vehicles, the possibility of involving the
County to ensure proper enforcement and designations on the Cross-Seminole Trail,
and expressing that safety was the number one concern.
Deputy Chief Matt Tracht, Winter Springs Police Department commented on the
complications associated with the issue, among them determining the difference
CITY COMMISSION MINUTES I PEGULAP MEETING I MONDAY, JANUAPY 10, 2022 1 PAGE 6 OF 9 125
between legally defined golf carts, low-speed vehicles, etc. and determining the
applicable laws.
Further discussion followed on the Ranchlands as a potential site for consideration
given the prevalence of current golf cart use. The Commission agreed that the legal
definitions of golf carts needed to be updated and/or expanded. There was also
discussion about potentially limiting permitted hours of operation and the potential
of including gated subdivisions, where possible, and potentially seeking new
agreements.
Attorney Garganese asked for some clarification, noted limitations of the state
manual and definitions, and spoke about the unfinished business of the current
ordinance including designation of safe roads, developing a process for this
designation, and posting of signage. Attorney Garganese further opined about
potentially designating specific communities for trial runs, the potential of engaging
with other jurisdictions if crossings are desired over county or state roads.
Manager Boyle noted that this issue was necessary to address due to actions of
external law enforcement agencies.
After further discussion, the Commission agreed that the process should start with
golf carts and low-speed vehicle definitions and designations.
503) New Business
Mayor McCann noted the Oviedo-Winter Springs Regional Chamber of Commerce
was looking for a name to attend the Tallahassee trip, noted he was willing to go, and
asked if anyone else was interested. After brief discussion, the Commission agreed
Mayor McCann should attend.
