they can go in and we set up the bays for this particular development so you could
have even smaller ones facing out this way, so you can either go this way or this way

seating."

Mr. Kevin McCann, 7709 Pheasant Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: mentioned a

concern with the few handicapped parking spaces and thought there should be

your two (2) projects required, I think Bryant (Smith) has been working on some Text
Amendments with Anthony (Garganese), to try to fix some of those, to make those
burdens go away. Will you please, if you haven't already Bryant, would you guys get
together and see if there is some other suggestion you have where we can
streamline some of that as we go through that Text Amendment process." No
objections were voiced.

401. West End Professional Center Monument Sign Special Exception and
Development Agreement Modification
This Agenda Item began with introductory comments from Mr. Smith who
remarked, "In the Town Center, monument signs are only permitted by Special
Exception, which is one of the reasons for this; and with this site in particular, they're
also seeking a DA (Development Agreement) Modification. The original DA
(Development Agreement) for this site required six (6) planter beds with trees
planted in them. Only four (4) of those seat walls were ever constructed of the six (6)
required; so, the Modification is seeking an approval for only four (4) of six (6) seat
walls to be constructed and one (1) of those seat walls to allow the construction of a
monument sign within it. The seat wall would stay intact."
Mr. Smith then spoke of the specifications of the sign, added that landscaping would
be added, and a tree would need to be removed. Mr. Smith then remarked, "There
are no site distance issues with coming in or out of the driveway."
Deputy Mayor Cannon said to City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese, "My law office is
a small tenant in this building. I have no financial interest in the building whatsoever
- I am not an owner and so forth. I will not be utilizing that advertising sign. Am I
required to recuse from Voting on this matter?"
Brief discussion followed with Attorney Garganese.
MONDAYCITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I
Deputy Mayor Cannon then stated, "In abundance of caution, I have no financial or
special gain or loss attributed to this, but I am going to recuse from voting on this. I
have disclosed on the Record that I am a small tenant in the building but would not
have any rights to the sign and have had no involvement in it so I am going to go
ahead and recuse."
Deputy Mayor Cannon left the dais at approximately 7.•79 p.m.
Commissioner Kendrick noted that he was pleased that the Special Exception
process was being streamlined.
Mayor Laceythen mentioned, "This DA (Development Agreement) has been in effect
for over twelve (12) years and the comment is that only four (4) of the six (6) seat walls
were constructed. Do you know the history of why in the past twelve (12) years, the
DA (Development Agreement) wasn't complied with?"
Mr. Smith responded, "I'm not sure why they were never constructed. I know the
original DA (Development Agreement) required the six (6); then there was the first
Modification which actually allowed for only four (4) of the six (6) to be constructed
and the two (2) near the entry were supposed to be set aside for some type of
sculpture or a fountain. Then the Second Modification to that DA (Development
Agreement) basically repealed the first Modification. So, we're back to the seat walls
being required. I'm not sure why they were never constructed."
Attorney Garganese was asked for any input and he said he did not know why some
of the technical aspects of the Development Agreement were not fully completed.
Mr. Smith added, "There are six (6) planterswith only four (4) seat walls." Mayor Lacey
pointed out that the six (6) planters were for six (6) trees, to which Mr. Smith
confirmed, "Yes." Mayor Lacey then said, "So, we are losing one (1) tree." Mr. Smith
said, "That's correct."
Mayor Lacey opened "Public Input"on this Agenda Item.
No one addressed the City Commission at this time.

402. Second Reading of Ordinance 2019-09 regarding the Application, Notice,
and Review Criteria Procedures for Special Zoning Permits
Attorney Garganese read Ordinance 2019-09 by "Title" only and noted, "I made a few
little technical amendments based on the First Reading that the Commission held a
few weeks ago - on page 5 and 6 of 31, 1 did address the Commissioner's concerns
relative to single family homes. I also made it clear that the Application requirements
for Administrative Appeals are governed in the administrative appeals section; and
in the Administrative Appeals section, I added the requirement for transcripts to also
be included as part of the record; and just cleaned up a couple of little wordsmith
items in the Ordinance."
Mayor Lacey opened "Public Input"on this Agenda Item.
Mr. Dan Edwards, Vice President of Land, Central Florida Division, Dream Finders
Homes, 8529 Southpark Circle, Orlando, Florida: asked about the term "Site Plans"
as it relates to Final Engineering and the review process.
Attorney Garganese pointed out that the provision on page 15 cross-references
Chapter 9 of the Code and addresses criteria associated with Site Plans and Final
Engineering.
It was then noted that there was a typo on Sec. 10.33. to which Attorney Garganese
agreed the section should be 20.33.1.
CITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I MONDAY JUNE 10, 2019 1 PAGE 10 OF 26
With further comments, Attorney Garganese pointed out that in working on
streamlining and creating uniform Application requirements, the Application
requirements in Chapter 20 would relate to Special Zoning Permit Applications
including Site Plans as well as Final Engineering; and technical requirements as
noted in Chapter 9 will remain applicable as well as additional criteria noted in this
Ordinance would also be pertinent to Site Plans and Final Engineering.
Discussion continued.
Mr. Chad Minor, Beazer Homes, 757 Southhall Lane, Suite 200, Maitland, Florida:
asked about projects currently in the review process and the applicability of this
Ordinance.
Attorney Garganese said that the proposed Ordinance would go into effect if
adopted by the City Commission, immediately upon signature.

Ms. Balagia began this Agenda Item with information on how the survey was
structured, the reason for differences in some of the numbers noted in the Agenda
Item, and data related to some of the complaints. Ms. Balagia pointed out that any
residents listed on the surveywho had asked to be called back, have been contacted
by City Staff.
Commissioner Hovey referenced the discrepancies that were noted in the Agenda
Item. Brief remarks followed.
MONDAYCITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I
Next, Commissioner TiAnna Hale referenced some of the comments, including past
year results, and suggested the service provider should provide immediate and
continued improved service.
Remarks ensued on whether a bonus was a normal arrangement to which Mr. Boyle
said that bonus arrangements were typical in this industry.
Commissioner Ted Johnson said he concurred with Commissioner Hale's comments
regarding customer complaints, and he thought there seemed to be issues in
getting replacement trash toters as he personally had been waiting several weeks.
Commissioner Johnson suggested improvements were needed in expediting
processes.
Mr. Tim Dolan, Waste-Pro of Florida, 3705 St. Johns Parkway, Sanford, Florida:
stated, "Yes, it does and that's something that I need to go back and work on." Mr.
Dolan mentioned some purchasing and vendor issues related to such delays.
Commissioner Johnson said he would appreciate improvements. Mr. Dolan added,
"I will be personally following up on that."
Commissioner Johnson then spoke of the size of recycle bins, whether there was a
middle size of recycling containers and asked if this could be looked into. Mr. Dolan
said there were no middle size containers and commented on recycling processes.
Commissioner Kendrick remarked that Waste-Pro of Florida's employee retention
seemed consistent, that their employees adhere to the set rules in terms of what
they pick up, and suggested that commercial account pricing may be a little high
but thought the City Commission could discuss this further.
Discussion followed on what type of system was used for tracking complaints, and
how the process works. Mr. Dolan briefly addressed how service requests are
handled.
Mr. Michael D Maximenko, Utility Billing Manager, Finance Department commented
on the system that Waste-Pro of Florida uses, mentioned some concerns he had, and
noted that he was working with a colleague of Mr. Dolan's on service requests.
MONDAYCITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I
Deputy Mayor Cannon said that he thought complaints had risen, mentioned that
for a trend analysis, data sets could be used to identify problem areas and suggested
this be looked into, as keeping track of current issues would help everyone involved
and could provide survey information on an ongoing basis.
Mayor Lacey added that the survey responses confirmed this.
Mr. Dolan responded by saying, "I agree" and added, "I'm a little disappointed with
the results myself." Continuing, Mr. Dolan then mentioned that they were planning
to update their fleet with new trucks and pointed out, "We should have two (2) new
trucks here on the street probably in the next two to three (2-3) weeks."
Deputy Mayor Cannon mentioned a complaint he often heard was that trucks drop
fluids which often stain the roads, and asked if there was something Mr. Dolan could
do. Mr. Dolan said that newer equipment would help and with them taking the
oldest trucks off the route soon, that should be an improvement. Mr. Dolan added,
"That is something we can check."
Comments followed on seals and criteria related to the survey.

501. East Central Florida Regional Planning Council Adopted Vision and Trend
Analysis Presentation
Mr. Fred Milch, East Central Florida Regional Planning Council, 455 North Garland
Avenue, Orlando, Florida: reviewed a PowerPoint presentation with the Mayor and
City Commission and spoke of trends, goals, demographics and information related
to other cities around the country which they felt had attributes and services that
Winter Springs could adopt.
MONDAYCITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I
Next, Mr. Milch spoke of the community survey that would be provided.
Ms. Casey Howard, Director, IT and Administrative Services Department pointed out
that the Visioning Session for businesses would be held on Thursday, June 27, 2019
and the Visioning Session for residents was set for Thursday,July]],2019. Ms. Howard
confirmed that the Visioning Sessions would be held at City Hall. Regarding a time,
Deputy Mayor Cannon suggested 6:30 p.m. as the starting time. No disagreements
were noted by the City Commission.
Deputy Mayor Cannon commented on data that Mr. Milch had mentioned,
referenced a document with different data which he said he would then provide to
the City Clerk who could send it to Mr. Milch.
Commissioner Hovey asked that the City Clerk email the same document to the City
Commission to which City Clerk Andrea Lorenzo-Luaces said, "Of course."
Discussion ensued on the proposed survey which was originally planned to be done
at the July 4t" event, however, Interim City Manager Shawn Boyle pointed out, "The
Survey - what they want to do is have the meeting with the public first in order to
incorporate and derive those questions for the Survey. Unfortunately the last
information I was given is we won't make the Fourth of July with the Survey."
Commissioner Hovey inquired why the three (3) cities showcased in the PowerPoint,
were all northern cities. Mr. Milch responded, "We were looking for something
unique that other cities were doing, that perhaps Winter Springs could do also.
Something that would make it stand out, something that the City could get behind
and the residents could get behind,just looking at different niches."
Continuing, Commissioner Hovey asked if there were some cities in the southern
part of the country that were considered. Mr. Milch responded, "I did not do this
portion of the work, but I will definitely ask."
Further comments ensued on the differences in the climate and lifestyles between
cities in the north and the south. Commissioner Hovey asked if something more
similar could be considered in the south. Discussion.
Remarks followed on the different kinds of trees found around the country.
Commissioner Hale spoke of cooperative housing, thought this concept could be
looked into, and said shewould provide a documenttothe City Clerkto be forwarded
to the City Commission.
MONDAYCITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I
Next, Commissioner Hale commented on the excellent Senior Center that Winter
Springs has, and suggested that regarding Seniors, perhaps the City could have
something like a Utility kiosk at the Senior Center and/or Citystaff could go over once
a week to help Seniors with permitting, etc.
With additional remarks, Commissioner Hale referenced the 2009 Strategic Plan and
questioned why some of the tasks were not completed.
Deputy Mayor Cannon noted that he thought provisions in the Comprehensive Plan
were not being done and was interested in hearing some recommendations on how
to best proceed.
Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Cannon spoke of greenspaces and felt that Lake Jesup
was underutilized and suggested that a boardwalk on Lake Jesup would be a great
addition; and asked Mr. Milch that if any individual Commissioners had further ideas,
could they contact Mr. Milch and his colleagues, who could perhaps look into any of
their suggestions.
Mr. Milch responded, "I would be very happy to do that."

Comments ensued on demographic inconsistencies mentioned earlier and Census
data.
Commissioner Johnson mentioned the importance of branding and suggested that

Deputy Mayor Cannon suggested that the Board and Committee Appointment
process be streamlined and thought all Appointments could be handled during a
specific month as a "once a year process", and added that the length of Terms did
not need to change. With remarks about vacancies that sometimes occur, Deputy
Mayor Cannon suggested that vacancies would be filled as they arise.
Commissioner Hovey thought the City Attorney, City Manager, and the City Clerk
could come back with some suggestions. Commissioner Kendrick noted, "Agreed."
No objections were voiced.
Interim Manager Boyle said that he and the City Clerk had spoken about this and
added, "We just need to plug Anthony (Garganese) in and we'll come backwith some
options."
503. City Manager Recruiting Advertisement and Recruitment Process
Ms. Howard informed the City Commission that Attorney Garganese and herself put
together a job description/recruiting advertisement for the City Manager position as
well as recommendations for posting and the selection timeline.
Commissioner Hovey noted, "On page 4, there's a duplicate entry. The third bullet is
a duplicate of the one above it." Ms. Howard responded, "That should be `Special and
Board meetings', so that will be corrected."
Continuing, Commissioner Hovey remarked, "One thing that I thinkshould be added
at the last bullet - I thinkwe should have a bullet that says `Other duties as assigned'."
Ms. Howard mentioned this was listed at the bottom and asked if this second
reference should be added. Commissioner Hovey said she thought this would make
it more noticeable. No objections were voiced.
MONDAYCITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I
Furthermore, Commissioner Hovey remarked that on the last page it says how to
apply and there is a deadline to apply by email. Commissioner Hovey inquired that
in terms of the application deadline by mail, should it be postmarked by that date or
is it `received in our office by that date'?"
Attorney Garganese said, "As received'; it would have to be received by that date."
Commissioner Hovey suggested that the addition of "As received by that date"
should be included. No dissent was noted. It was then explained that Ms. Howard
would be the one who received any submitted Applications.
Deputy Mayor Cannon recommended that the current posting and application
window which has a closing date of July 9, 2019 be expanded and suggested a sixty
(60) day timeline. Mayor Lacey said that he agreed.
With further remarks on the suggested sixty (60) days, Commissioner Hale added,
"Agreed." Mayor Lacey asked, "Any objection from the Commission to the sixty (60)
d ays?"
Commissioner Hovey commented, "I object to that but I will go with the Consensus.
I think it should be shorter versus the sixty (60)." Commissioner Hovey then pointed
out that a sixty (60) daytimeline would push things out and suggested forty-five (45)
days as a compromise.
Mayor Lacey said, "I would say August 1St." Deputy Mayor Cannon stated, "I am fine
with August 1St." No objections were voiced.

600. City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese, Esquire
No Report.
MONDAYCITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I
601. Interim City Manager Shawn Boyle
Interim Manager Boyle introduced the new Community Development Director,
Christopher Schmidt to the City Commission.
Mr. Schmidt said, "Thankyou for the opportunity, I look forward to working with you
all."
Brief comments.
Interim Manager Boyle noted, in reference to Waste Pro performance measures, that
he gets frequent reports and tracks the handling of complaints.
Next, Interim Manager Boyle brought up the construction of a parking lot adjacent
to the Town Center and remarked, "The parking lot was approved back in I believe,
December, unanimouslyon Consent. The original budgetforthe parking lotwastwo
hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00). It came in just over six hundred
thousand dollars ($600,000.00). It's about 135 parking spaces."
Interim Manager Boyle then mentioned the strong economy and everyone's concern
with tree canopy, and added, "This is the last time I can sit before you before we pull
the trigger on this contract. The area that's in question for the parking lot will be
clear-cut."
Continuing, Interim Manager Boyle explained, "It's that big treed area that's adjacent
to the Trail and I just want to make sure that this is what you guys want to do. I don't
want to be the cause of anybody getting any backlash." Interim Manager Boyle
mentioned there were some different options if the City Commission wanted to
revisit this project, and suggested, "You could talk about a redesign, you could talk
about a phased approach. There are several different unlimited options that we can
do."
Deputy Mayor Cannon noted his concern about the high costs. Deputy Mayor
Cannon spoke favorably of a phased approach and suggested an improved green
space that would be suitable for parking. Deputy Mayor Cannon added, "Mythought
is ask Staff to look at a multiple phase where we clean up what we have got there
where they're parking and it's kind of sandy and the sidewalk, it could definitely use
some sprucing up, but keep it green." Deputy Mayor Cannon added, "Keep some of
those trees."
Mr. Smith remarked, "We can look at design alternatives and even give you a couple
options on it."
MONDAYCITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I
Commissioner Kendrick noted the need for daily parking in the Town Center and as
overflow for events, and was not in favor of clear-cutting the trees.
Commissioner Johnson asked if there was any data regarding the necessity of clear-
cutting the entire parcel and possibly putting a hold on this project.
Mr. Smith pointed out, "This was in order to maximize the parking and also provide
kind of a walking area in the middle. There is a pretty significant grade change from
Tuskawilla down to the Trail."
Commissioner Johnson commented that he understood the need for more parking,
however, he did not see the need for clear-cutting the property.
Mr. Smith then said, "We can look at alternatives. Our direction at the time was to
maximize parking and make it almost a park like atmosphere,so that was the design
we came up with. We ranged, the initial designs were upwards of around 200 stalls.
That was all asphalt and this was sort of the compromise of including the walkability,
a trail connection, and the future connection to the amphitheater if that was built;
but we can go back to kind of where we started and sort of focus on the area that's
already cleared and maybe clear out some of the underbrush as well. We just need
to make sure that we meet some of the standards for parking and we can still make
it safe."
Deputy Mayor Cannon remarked about parking, and expressed concern about the
use of City funds for private business parking and the original determination of
parking needs for the Town Center.
Mr. Smith responded that now, "Generally in the Town Center Code, you don't
necessarily have to adhere to what the normal parking guidelines are. You can
provide a study on that and that's probably what was followed there. The idea of this
parking lot was really the future amphitheater as well as providing a new Trail
connection and really just utilizing an empty piece of City property and bringing it
up a little bit."
Deputy Mayor Cannon suggested this could possibly be completed in a couple of
phases. With further comments, Mr. Smith noted, "I thinkwe can look at alternatives
with at least the parking stalls being that way, and then having an improved drive
aisle." Discussion.
Mayor Lacey said to the City Commission, "Would it be acceptable if we just put in
abeyance the award of this contract and have it as an Agenda Item at our next
meeting where we can have a more thorough discussion?"

Deputy Mayor Cannon stated, "Yes." Other Members of the Commission said "Yes."
No objections were voiced.
Discussion followed about the previous passage of the project, the availability of
specific project information, that more parking is needed, and to bring options for
the City Commission to consider.
Mayor Lacey pointed out, "The Consensus, without objection, is for the City Manager
to put this in abeyance and have it as an Agenda Item for further discussion."
Additional suggestions dealt with providing the City Commission information on
possible stages and options.
Finally, Interim Manager Boyle noted that the 60th anniversary [June 20, 2019] of the
City was approaching and asked for direction on how the City Commission would
like this occasion commemorated.
Mayor Lacey suggested, "Why don't we do it at the 4th of July." Commissioner Hovey
added, "That is what I was thinking." Deputy Mayor Cannon stated, "We could do
that -that is a good idea." No disagreements were noted.

MONDAYCITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I
607. Seat One Commissioner Jean Hovey
"I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO EXTEND FOR AN ADDITIONAL FIFTEEN
(15) MINUTES." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOVEY. SECONDED BY DEPUTY
MAYOR CANNON. DISCUSSION.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Commissioner Hovey commented on the current agenda format and asked that for
future Agendas, could the Agenda Packet be split into separate sections, perhaps by
section. Mr. Boyle stated, "Anything is possible with the Consensus of this group,
absolutely."
Comments followed on printing out the Agenda, and/or dividing the Agenda into
separate sections, such as the Consent Agenda, Regular Agenda, etc.
City Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces was asked for her input, to which she said, "We're happy
to do whatever you would like."
Commissioner Kendrick remarked, "Logistically, whatever works." Commissioner
Hovey added, "Smaller would be easier."
Mayor Lacey stated, "I am going to call it a Consensus unless I hear objections." No
one noted any objections.
Mr. Ed DeJesus, IT Manager, IT and Administrative Services Department suggested
that a navigation tab could be used with PDF's which might be more helpful to the
City Commission. Deputy Mayor Cannon noted his agreement. Mr. DeJesus then
said that they could certainly check into that.
Discussion followed on having the Agenda, exhibits as PDF's, and a navigation tab
possibly available on the website so that the City Commission and others could
access or print whatever documents they were interested in.
With further brief remarks, Mr. DeJesus said, "I will definitely work with the City
Clerk's Office."
MONDAYCITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I
Next, Commissioner Hovey mentioned she had been Appointed to serve on the
Municipal Administration Policy Committee for the Florida League of Cities.
Lastly, Commissioner Hovey asked about Donations and whether we had a standing
Policy or if one should be considered, whether it be for services, time, and/or money.
Attorney Garganese mentioned that previously, proposed donations were brought
before the City Commission, and there has been a type of Policy for Volunteers.
Interim Manager Boyle explained, "Our standing protocol goes like this, anytime
anybody wants to donate any money, materials, work or time - we put it on, most of
the time it's Consent; we bring it before the Commission so that you all have the
opportunity to agree to it or not."
Furthermore, Interim Manager Boyle noted that there might be a future situation
when the City Commission would prefer to not get involved with a specific donation.
Interim Manager Boyle added, "We bring it before you also so that you can direct it;
in other words - let's say we received a hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) in a
cash donation, Staff doesn't want to be responsible for directing where that money
goes.
I think that should reside up here with the five (5) of you; so, right now, our standing
protocol and there is some state statue behind it also, is that any gifts, frankly any
gifts over $100 we bring before you and you guys will accept it or not accept it and
then you'll direct, if it's cash,you'll direct what you want to do with it. So - since I have
been here for ten (10) years, that's been the standing protocol."
Regarding a potential donation of services, Interim Manager Boyle explained,
"Anybody donating services to the City depending on what department or what
they're doing, there's a due diligence that Staff has to do to make sure that they're
insured, they're capable, and competent."
Commissioner Hale mentioned the "Cities of Service" program and said she would
provide the City Clerk with a related document for consideration.
Further remarks followed on a written Volunteer Policy the City has, especially to
ensure the safety of Volunteers around the elderly and children.
MONDAYCITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I
608. Seat Two Commissioner/Deputy Mayor Kevin Cannon
Following up on the last comments, Deputy Mayor Cannon mentioned that he had
suggested to the Winter Springs High School Principal to try to get their students
more involved with our City events which would help build community, and asked if
this could be looked into.
Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Cannon suggested that the Winter Springs High School
Softball Team be recognized at the July 4t" Celebration of Freedom event, and also
suggested signs be placed below the Welcome to the City signs with information
about the Winter Springs High School Softball Champions. Commissioner Kendrick
stated, "That is a wonderful idea."
Interim Manager Boyle said they could take care of this.
Lastly, Deputy Mayor Cannon mentioned a recent Central Florida Boy Scout Council
awards ceremony that he attended.
PUBLIC INPUT
Mayor Lacey opened "Public Input".
Ms. Gina Shafer, Winter Springs Village, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke of the need
for speed reduction at Michael Blake Boulevard and State Road 434 and asked if the
City could work with the Florida Department of Transportation on this matter. Ms.
Shafer further commented about some type of barriers near the Blake Apartments
which she thought needed reflective tape on them; and that she had been told in
South Florida that palm trees were not counted as trees.
Deputy Mayor Cannon said to Chief Deisler, "The speed limit westbound on 434
drops to 45 right around the pedestrian bridge right..." Chief Deisler stated, "...From
recollection, westbound, the signs are actually posted west of Michael Blake
[Boulevard] before the intersection was reconfigured."
Deputy Mayor Cannon then remarked that one of the best signs erected was the "NO
U-TURN" sign with a small orange flag at Indian Trails Middle School as drivers did in
fact stop making such turns. Deputy Mayor Cannon continued, "Could we maybe
ask for some enhanced signage - that the speed drops from 50." Deputy Mayor
Cannon added that perhaps a couple of these enhanced, oversized signs could be
erected for those driving westbound.
MONDAYCITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I
Chief Deisler noted his agreement with Deputy Mayor Cannon's comments and said,
"For purposes of discussion if it goes beyond the discussion here I could definitely
support moving the 45 sign further east..." Deputy Mayor Cannon stated, "...Yes."
With additional brief comments, Chief Deisler said, "Anything we can do to make it
happen, we'll make it happen."
Further, Commissioner Johnson suggested the speed limit should be reduced in the
area of Tuscora Drive and State Road 434, and added that he thought there should
also be a light there, and hoped the City would expedite this.
Mr. Jeff Crandall, 7239 Stone Harbour Road, Winter Springs, Florida: thanked
Commissioner Hale for visiting Parkstone when she met with cleaning staff and
recognized their work. Mr. Crandall also offered his thanks to Commissioner Johnson
who drove to the bus depot to look into issues that some Parkstone residents have
concerns with.
Commissioner Hale asked Mr. Smith if he could assist with getting reflective lights
on poles. Mr. Smith said they would go out to the site and check into this.
Mayor Lacey closed "Public Input".

DISCLOSURE OF LOCAL OFFICER'S INTEREST
Kevin Scott Cannon , hereby disclose that on June 10 20 19
(a)A measure came or will come before my agency which (check one or more)
+� inured to my special private gain or loss; � 3 Jew`
inured to the special gain or loss of my business associate,
inured to the special gain or loss of my relative,
inured to the special gain or loss of by
wham I am retained; or
inured to the special gain or loss of which
is the parent subsidiary, or sibling organization or subsidiary of a principal which has retained me.
(b)The measure before my agency and the nature of my conflicting interest in the measure is as follows:
Commission Agenda #401 - Quasi Judicial Hearing on application for Special Exception to construct a
monument sign in front of the West End Professional Center located at 1135 E. SR-434, Winter Springs, FL.
The owner of said building and Applicant for the Special Exception is West End Professional Center One, LLP.
I have no financial ownership interest in said LLP. However, my business, Law Office of Kevin Cannon, PA, is a
tenant in said building and thus, the requested monument sign could in some way inure to my special private
gain or loss although it is unlikely because I have no plans for my business or my name to appear on said
monument sign as I am the smallest tenant in said building. As advised by the City Attorney, my recusal was
based on the provisions of Section 112.3143(3)(a) Florida Statutes "No county, municipal, or other local public
officer shall vote in an official capacity upon any measure which would inure to his or her special private gain or
loss ..." and Section 286.012 Florida Statutes "If the official decision, ruling, or act occurs in the context of a
quasi-judicial proceeding, a member may abstain from voting on such matter if the abstention is to assure a fair
proceeding free from potential bias or prejudice". This supercedes my disclosure filed June 14, 2019.
If disclosure of specific information would violate confidentiality or privilege pursuant to law or rules governing attorneys, a public officer,
who is also an attorney, may comply with the disclosure requirements of this section by disclosing the nature of the interest in such a way
as to provide the public with notice of the conflict.

Project Overview
The applicant is seeking a Special Exception and modification to the Development
Agreement for the construction of one monument sign (Exhibit A) at the multi-
tenant office building located at 1135 E. SR 434. The subject property is located
within Transect S of the Town Center zoning district. Per Section 20-327.1 - Signs,
freestanding monument signs are permitted by special exception in the Town
Center along SR 434 frontage. The sign generally conforms to the standards set
forth in Section 16-82 "Special Supplemental regulations for properties located on
SR 434", pertaining to monument signs. The signs architectural features and colors
match the existing building and provide acceptable aesthetics in relation to the
surrounding Town Center buildings.
As part of the Binding Development Agreement, adopted December 11, 2006, by
the City Commission, the developer was required to construct six seat walls around
trees located in the plaza at the north end of the property. Only four of the six seat
walls were constructed. The proposed Third Modification to Binding Development
Agreement (Exhibit C) would reduce the number of seat walls required from six to
four, This modification would also allow for one of the four seat walls to contain a
monument sign and landscaping, as opposed to a tree, which was originally
required in the original Binding Development Agreement. Based on Staff review of
the plaza area, there will still be adequate seating in the plaza area with only four
seat walls.
At the May 23, 2019, Planning and Zoning Meeting, the Board recommended
approval of the Special Exception to construct a monument sign in the Town
Center with a S-0 vote.
Special Exceptions (Exhibit B)
The applicant is requesting approval of a Special Exception requests. In granting a
Special Exception, per the Town Center Code, the City Commission must find
substantial competent evidence that:
a) The proposed development contributes to, promotes, and encourages the
improvement of the Winter Springs Town Center and catalyzes other
development as envisioned in the Winter Springs Town Center regulations.
b) The proposed development will not have an unfavorable effect on the
economy of the Winter Springs Town Center and complies with the
economic fiscal impact requirements set forth in the City's Comprehensive
Plan and code.
c) The proposed development abides by all rules in this code other than those
specially accepted.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the approval of the Special Exception to construct a monument
sign in the Town Center and the Third Modification to Binding Development
Agreement related to seat wall requirements.
