In response to questions from the Commission, Mr. Norberg noted that the changes would help reduce sulfide and sulfate being drawn, improve water aesthetics such astaste and smell, and would be anotherstep in further reducing TTHMs. Continuing, Mr. Norberg stated that the depths of the wells varied from 220 to just under 400 feet, that Consent Agenda Item 301 would authorize purchase of equipment, and that maintenance requirements would remain essentially the same requiring no additional staff. Further discussion followed on the possibility of changing well depths and the timeline for completion of the project. Mr. Norberg noted that the well depths had been discussed, noted that any changes would be a big process, and expressed confidence that the current plan to optimize the current wells, along with the installation of durable impellers, would be the best option. In regards to the anticipated timeline, Mr. Norberg noted that lead time on materials would be the biggest obstacle but that Staff was ahead of that and once work began the project should take less than a week. Discussion followed on work at both plants. Manager Boyle noted that the Citywasfocused on addressing the most critical issues first, stated the East Plant water quality was good, aesthetics were still being looked at for improvement, and noted the statewide prevalence of a sulfur smell in the water. Manager Boyle further noted that the City was looking at options that cost less money and use less chemicals for treatment.

VOTE: BENTON (AYE);JOHNSON (AYE); HALE (AYE); CANNON (AYE); ELLIOTT (AYE) MOTION CAPRI ED 5-0. Mr. Schmidt reviewed Waiver #2, the applicant's request to modify streetscaping requirements to allow sidewalks abutting the roads. Mr. Schmidt noted that this would not be a loss of green space,just a reconfiguration. Discussion followed on the need to amend the existing streetscaping ordinance to consider a provision for parallel on-street parking. Attorney Garganese agreed that it would be good to address. Further discussion followed on ensuring that trees to be planted met the specifications in the submitted plans. Commissioners were supportive of the waiver. "MOTION TO APPROVE WAIVER 2." MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR CANNON. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HALE. DISCUSSION. VOTE: ELLIOTT (AYE); HALE (AYE); BENTON (AYE);JOHNSON (AYE); CANNON (AYE) MOTION CARRIED 5-0. Mr. Schmidt reviewed applicant's request to allow a maximum lot coverage of 88% rather than the specified 70% maximum lot coverage in the City Code. In response to questions from the Commission, Staff and the applicant confirmed that no plans were ever submitted in compliance with the 70% maximum lot coverage for individual lots. Mr. Jose Chaves, ADDRESS noted that with interior townhome lots it would be nearly impossible to design anything in compliance with the City Code. Discussion followed on consideration of alternative designs to meet the Code requirement and definitions of townhomes, lot coverage, and lots. The applicant indicated that they were previously told the whole lot was used for consideration of the lot coverage rather than individual lots. Further discussion followed on minimum density requirements in the T-4 Transect. Attorney Garganese noted that he was not aware of these requirements in the Code and thought that the applicant may be referring to goals listed in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Saathoff commented that the Code does not require a minimum density and shared his opinion that it was impossible to meet the 70% lot coverage maximum. Mr. Saathoff commented further on the donations of land over the years which the Blumberg family had conveyed for public use. Mr. Spain asked the following questions to Mr. Chaves. 1. Is ityour professional opinion that there is a minimum density? Mr. Chaves answered yes and referenced a target average minimum density. 2. What is that target average minimum density? Mr. Chaves answered seven (7) units per acre. 3. In your professional opinion, is it possible to design what Commissioner Cannon drew and meet the minimum average of seven (7) dwelling units? Mr. Chaves answered no. 4. Are you aware of any townhome project in Winter Springs that has met the 70% maximum lot coverage? Mr. Chaves answered no. Mr. Marcus Geiger, Kimley Horn, 189 South Orange Avenue, Orlando, a consultant for the City, commented that he would need to investigate further to determine if compliance with the 70% maximum lot coverage was impossible. Mr. Geiger reiterated that compliance was difficult with townhomes due to interior lots and noted that it may be possible to increase green space to the north or south but that density considerations could pose a challenge and that an increase in greenspace could result in a corresponding reduction in other infrastructure. Finally, Mr. Geiger noted that he would expect lot yield to be reduced if the project were made compliant with the prescribed 70% maximum lot coverage requirement. Further discussion on minimum and maximum requirements for home sizes in the T-4 Zone. Mr. Schmidt advised that this was not described in the City Code. Mr. Spain asked the following questions to Mr. Schmidt: 1. Are you familiar with the staff report? Mr. Schmidt responded yes. 2. Did you prepare the staff report? Mr. Schmidt responded that he assisted Ms. Marla Molina, Senior City Planner, Community Development Department with the preparation. CITY COMMISSION MINUTES I PEGULAP MEETING I MONDAY, MAPCH 14, 2022 1 PAGE 8 OF 16 9 3. Does the staff report accurately reflect staff's opinion? Mr. Schmidt responded yes. 4. Referring to page 21 of his copy of the staff report, Mr. Spain asked Mr. Schmidt to confirm that this was the staff analysis regarding the waiver. Mr. Schmidt responded yes. Mr. Spain continued to reference this staff analysis and asked Mr. Schmidt about a sentence starting with, "It is illogical..." Mr. Schmidt indicated that he did not see this sentence in his copy. Mr. Spain asked that the copy he was referring to be added to the record. Mr. Spain then asked Mr. Schmidt to read other sections of the staff report. S. Is it true this project (referring to Jesup's reserve, an existing townhome development) is in T-4? Mr. Schmidt responded yes. 6. Is the applicant's project in T-4? Mr. Schmidt responded yes. 7. Mr. Spain stated that Jesup's Reserve did not meet the 70% lot coverage maximum. Mr. Schmidt clarified that the transects were adopted after this development was approved and that no such lot coverage requirement existed at the time of Jesup's reserve's approval. 8. If looking at the site as a whole what would be the lot coverage? Mr. Schmidt indicated that lot coverage would be 66%. 9. Are you aware of any townhome projects within the City of Winter Springs that meet the 70% lot coverage threshold? Mr. Schmidt responded that he was not. In response to questions from Mr. Spain, Mr. Geiger reiterated that it could be impossible to comply with the 70% maximum lot coverage, the difficulty of compliance due to the interior lots, the identification of Deputy Mayor's drawing as a duplex, and that he was unaware of other approved townhome projects that meet the prescribed maximum lot coverage. In response to a question from the Commission, Mr. Schmidt indicated that Mr. Geiger had been working with the City since September or October of 2021 and that would not have been involved with other townhome projects. In response to further questions from Mr. Spain, Mr. Schmidt noted that the staff report stated support for the waiver and that previously addressed language was removed by Staff after discussions with legal. Mr. Schmidt clarified that at one point, Staff did state and hold the professional opinion that the requirement applied to townhomes was "illogical." Discussion followed on the applicant's responsibility to justify the need for a waiver and demonstrate that they are asking for the minimum waiver. In response to questions from the Commission, Mr. Schmidt noted that the applicant had not provided justification and had not, to his knowledge, submitted any plans that would lessen what they were asking for to get closer to the 70% requirement. CITY COMMISSION MINUTES I PECULAP MEETING I MONDAY, MAPCH 14, 2022 1 PAGE 9 OF 16 10 Further discussion followed on Mr. Schmidt's experience as a planner and further questions about changes to the staff report and Staff's recommendation. In response to a question from the Commission, Mr. Schmidt confirmed that based on current knowledge, it would not be Staff's recommendation to approve the requested waiver. Brief discussion followed again on the definition of lots and then turned to the applicant's submitted plans. The Commission noted that no plans were submitted to attempt to meet Code specifications and the applicant reiterated the difficulty of compliance Mr. Saathoff commented on the Code, noted that if the whole lot were taken into account rather than individual lots there would be no need for a waiver, and noted his investment and time that could have been saved if this had been brought up sooner in the process. Discussion followed on a potential continuance and the Commission expressed an interest in the applicant bringing a proposal which would comply with the 70% maximum lot coverage or demonstrate that they were seeking the minimum waiver. The applicant was supportive of the request, asked for a date certain to return, and noted they would quickly get revisions to Staff. Mr. Schmidt commented on time needed to review any changes and the various consultants who would also be involved in the process. Manager Boyle suggested that April 11 or 25 would be the most reasonable as long as everyone did their part. "MOTION TO CONTINUE WAIVER#3 HEARING UNTILTIME CERTAIN HEARING OF APRIL11 AND REQUESTTHE APPLICANTAS EXPEDITIOUSLYAS POSSIBLE SUBMIT ALTERNATIVE DESIGNS FOR THE PROJECTTHAT WILL MEET OR COME AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE 70% LOT COVERAGE REQUIREMENTAND DEMONSTRATE THATTHE WAIVER REQUESTED IS THE MINIMUM WAIVER REQUIRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY CODE."

Mr. Schmidt reviewed the applicant's request for a variance from Section 9-241(e), City Code. In response to a question from the Commission, Mr. Norberg said he had no concerns related to the proposed project's ponds creating interference with the Winter Springs Village and that the stormwater infrastructure was sufficient to meet the volume. Questions then turned to potential negative impacts to Lake Jesup and seeking confirmation from the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) that the proposed stormwater infrastructure was sufficient. Mr. Norberg noted that a letter could be obtained from SJRWMD. Mr. David Hamstra, Pegasus Engineering, a consultant for the City spoke further on these concerns and noted that the applicant had exceeded requirements and volume would not be an issue for Lake Jesup. Continuing, Mr. Hamstra noted that he was satisfied with the proposals, noted planned modification to an existing swale near Winter Springs High School, and spoke about the consideration of both volume and rate related to surrounding water bodies. Mr. Hamstra commented further that if additional greenspace were to be added to future plans submitted by the applicant it could result in a corresponding reduction in the size of the ponds. Brief discussion followed on updating the City Code to reflect more appropriate volume and rate considerations. Mr. Hamstra noted that he would be happy to work with the City to develop recommendations. "MOTION TO APPROVE VARIANCE ON STORMWATER." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER JOHNSON. SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR CANNON. DISCUSSION. VOTE:JOHNSON (AYE); ELLIOTT (AYE); HALE (AYE); BENTON (NAY); CANNON (AYE) MOTION CARRIED 4-1. Mr. Schmidt reviewed applicant's request to remove specimen trees on the site and noted some trees were being saved as well. It was suggested that this item be continued to come back with the discussion of the lot coverage waiver. The applicant was agreeable to the suggestion. Mayor McCann asked if other items would need a continuance and Staff suggested that Final Engineering and the Developers Agreement could also be continued to come back with the discussion on lot coverage. "MOTION TO CONTINUE ITEMS 5 &6 (SPECIMEN TREE REMOVALAND FINAL ENGINEERING/DA)." MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR CANNON. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HALE. DISCUSSION.

Discussion followed on the Homeowners Association covenants and restrictions. The Commission recommended considering Florida Statute SS9.99S related to home-based businesses, notice regarding the noise and proximity to the high school stadium, and the likelihood of complaints related to lights. Mr. Saathoff noted that he was willing to work with his team to look into the issues brought up and commented on windows being a likely target for noise mitigation. Further discussion followed with the Commission encouraging the applicant to look at getting better traffic counts to account for school arrival and release time peaks. The Commission also discussed parking concerns, the possibility of electric car charging stations, and ensuring that street parking along Blumberg was not negatively impacted with this project. REGULAR AGENDA 500) Discussion on the Youth Council Mr. Christian Gowan, City Clerk introduced the item, noted difficulties associated with the successful operation of the Youth Council including Sunshine Lawconcerns and the inability to establish a quorum. Mr. Gowan noted that the Youth Council had met only twice since its creation in 2020. Mayor McCann noted discussions with Pete Gaffney, Winter Springs High School Principal, about potential interest in shifting management of the program to the high school, including possibly incorporating a program into Civics classes. Discussion followed on the lack of productivity of the Council in its current format, CITY COMMISSION MINUTES I PECULAP MEETING I MONDAY, MAQCH 14, 2022 1 PAGE 12 OF 16 13 the desire to remain involved, potentially with Commissioners serving as liaisons, and the possibility of involving existing clubs or campus organizations such as the Student Government. Attorney Garganese noted there were no issues with a Commissioner serving as a liaison and bringing back information to the City Commission. Further discussion followed on sunsetting the current Youth Council, having the Mayor reach out to principals of Winter Springs and Oviedo High Schools to gauge their interest in piloting a project, and the hope that this would result in more engagement in previously discussed ideas such as the "Fifth Quarter." Attorney Garganese noted that a motion would be required to sunset the Youth Council if that was the will of the Commission. Further discussion followed on concerns around children being under Sunshine Law requirements, mention of other successful Youth Councils in the area, and the appropriateness of a motion to disband the Youth Council.
