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.

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 "MOTION TO INSTRUCT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AND ADVERTISE THE MOPE COMPREHENSIVE FERTILIZER ORDINANCE - AND THAT WE SET THIS ON A FUTURE AGENDA FOR ADOPTION."

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.
