Mr. Arnie Nussbaum, 687 Andover Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: representing the Casa Park Villas Homeowners Association, Mr. Nussbaum mentioned that some fellow residents had safety concerns with Tuscora Drive and the need for a traffic light there, as well as at Michael Blake Boulevard. Continuing, Mr. Nussbaum also noted that he was in favor of proposed roundabouts. Ms. Sheila Benton, 474 Cedarwood Court, Winter Springs, Florida: expressed concern with information being shared on social media and other platforms by some individuals who did not represent the City of Winter Springs, and asked the City Commission to investigate their actions, and hoped that impartiality and decorum would be adhered to during City Commission Meetings. Mr. Chris Lemnah, 7440 Cranston Street, Winter Springs, Florida: as a resident of Barrington Estates, Mr. Lemnah spoke about roundabouts and inquired if studies and data had been done on roundabouts, mentioned that school students are picked up and dropped off on both sides of State Road 434, and if a median was added to that area, how would school children be kept safe. Mr. Jesse Phillips, 7724 Duncan Drive, Winter Springs, Florida: referenced an organization he was involved with, complimented the City Commission's funding of landscaping around the fountains at the entrance to the TuscawiIla community, and noted support for roundabouts. Mr. Phil Kaprow, 7005 Antelope Trail, Winter Springs, Florida: as a representative for some particular clients, Mr. Kaprow noted his support for roundabouts and encouraged the City Commission to do all they could to back roundabout projects, mentioned some comments he had with a State Representative, and suggested the City Commission support any early acquisition of property. With further remarks, Mr. Kaprow said that he had spoken with Florida House of Representatives David Smith,who was aware of the project, however, Representative Smith said he had not been asked to assist with potential funding efforts. Ms. Gina Shafer, Winter Springs Village, Winter Springs, Florida: suggested the City Commission pass an Ordinance in which no more than three (3) or more unrelated individuals could live in the same residence, mentioned that the cities of Oviedo and Gainesville had such Ordinances, and that her concerns were not related to Airbnb's. Ms. Shafer also spoke of speeding, synchronization of traffic lights, signage and hoped the City would contact the Department of Transportation to address these issues. Mr. James Evans, 277AImaden Court, Winter Springs, Florida: referenced previous comments about time limited parking spaces in the Town Center, specifically for customers, and asked for a status update. It was clarified that comments related to on-street parking and were specific to the area of Tuskawilla Road and Tree Swallow Drive. Discussion followed on a proposed parking lot which would potentially alleviate some concerns of local business owners. Commissioner Kendrick added that signage allowing customers only or short-term parking only, might also help. City Manager Shawn Boyle stated, "We haven't been focused on limiting the time limit on the parking spaces along that road. What we've focused on is building that parking lot. I still believe that we can start construction on that, first quarter of 2020 - Januarytimeframe, and that will bring fifty (50) spots on line pretty quickly; and we can preserve the trees and the current landscaping that's there. So, I think we can accomplish both with minimal disruption to the environment, if you will." Further remarks ensued on businesses that were most affected, and that signage with potential time limits might be helpful, to which Deputy Mayor Cannon said he supported that. Mayor Lacey closed "Public Input". Mayor Lacey noted that a letter from Mr. Ken Spalthoff had been provided to the City Commission and instructed the City Clerk to enter the letter into the Record.

State Road 434 Widening: Seminole County Commissioner Bob Dallari Presenting Commissioner Bob Dallari, Seminole County, 7707 East 7st Street, Sanford, Florida: addressed the Mayor and City Commission for the Record on a proposed project, said that he and fellow Seminole County Commissioner Jay Zembower had worked on this project with other individuals. Continuing, Commissioner Dallari noted that the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners had had a Work Session on this proposed project and were in agreement with the planned outcome. Commissioner Dallari also noted that they would be asking for support from the City of Winter Springs and the City of Oviedo. Remarks continued. Mr. Ryan Cunningham, Associate Engineer, Kittelson & Associates, 225 East Robinson Street, Suite 355, Orlando, Florida: reviewed a presentation with the Mayor and City Commission and addressed vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian needs and proposed improvements. Mr. Cunningham explained, "In terms of our schedule, so we're complete on project development now. We're looking to move into design later this year. The County is currently working on setting up an RFP (Request for Proposal) to be released in December which would allow the design to get underway early next year. There's been complete streets funding set-aside by MetroPlan [Orlando] for this design to happen. And then, right-of-way and construction, we've been in discussions with FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation) and MetroPlan [Orlando] and looking to have that done in Fiscal Year [20']23-24; so, we're looking at a four to five (4-5) year time frame." Furthermore, Mr. Cunningham said, "We are looking to obtain support for the project." Continuing, Mr. Cunningham mentioned, "We did present to the County Commission on August 27t", presented to you all tonight, and next Monday, we will be presenting to FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation) management,so that includes the Secretary, and the Oviedo City Council that evening. So, FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation) has asked that prior to moving into design, that we do have Resolutions from the cities and the County expressing their support for the project so that we can all be on the same page. We're looking to hold a public meeting in October, similar to the one that we had last year -that we'd just re-invite all the citizens out and give them an update on where we are and what is going to happen moving forward." Commissioner Dallari mentioned that there was another slide related to signals versus roundabouts, which they would provide to the Mayor and City Commission. Next, Commissioner dean Hovey commented, "Last week, I had an opportunity to speakwith Commissioner Dallari and thatwas one of the first questions I asked, was about the School District - and he assured me that as we know, they have a good working relationship with the School District, and the school buses will have to have different stops." Further remarks. Speaking for the Record, Commissioner Dallari remarked, "Once we get the approval from both cities, we'll definitely reach out to the School Board." Deputy Mayor Cannon offered his appreciation to Commissioner Dallari and Commissioner Zembower for their assistance. Comments followed on traffic count numbers, and whether the City of Oviedo might re-open some roads that had been closed to cut-through traffic, other connectivity options, and buffered bike lanes. Deputy Mayor Cannon then said to Mr. Cunningham, "In Oviedo, south, heading to Mitchell Hammock Road, there, in that Section 2 or phase 2, you are going to be reducing the speed limit from forty-five (45) to thirty-five (35) - does that look like that has been approved by DOT? Is that going to happen?" Mr. Cunningham responded, "Yes, DOT has already approved that." With continued remarks, Deputy Mayor Cannon stated, "You are going to propose to DOT a forty (40) mile per hour speed limit target heading - westbound from Hammock, headed over towards the [State Road] 417." Mr. Cunningham noted, "Correct." Deputy Mayor Cannon then asked Mr. Cunningham if they had considered "An elliptical roundabout being placed underneath the [State Road] 417 which would allow egress from those four (4) exits without having the jam up of traffic signalization there? Have you looked at that or could you look at that?" Mr. Cunningham responded, "We haven't looked at that - I mean it conceptually could be done but I think there are two (2) other improvements that we had identified for long term at those signalized intersections which I think would be cheaper and just as effective." With further remarks, Deputy Mayor Cannon also suggested a roundabout at the intersection with Tuscora Drive. Commissioner Dallari pointed out that State Road 417 is controlled by Florida's Turnpike Enterprise and recommended that when that road is set to be widened, Commissioner Dallari thought that that would be the preferred timeframe to bring up any such roundabout projects. Discussion continued on traffic signalizations, traffic flow, bicycle traffic, as well as roundabouts and traffic calming. Deputy Mayor Cannon then mentioned speeding traffic along State Road 434 and that he was interested in any suggestions regarding getting the speed limit lowered. Commissioner Dallari suggested, "If your Board wants to do something, work through your City Manager and your staff; we'll be more than happy to work with you." Commissioner Dallari further spoke of working together and possibly with a Consultant if necessary. Commissioner Geoff Kendrick also thanked Commissioner Dallari and said he would also contact Commissioner Zembower. Next, Commissioner TiAnna Hale provided some documents related to roundabouts, said that education would be very helpful and additionally offered her thanks to Commissioner Dallari. Commissioner Ted Johnson echoed recent comments and asked if crosswalkswould be illuminated. Mr. Cunningham said theywould be and pointed out, "FDOT requires that all roundabouts be lit, so the entire intersection will be lit." Furthermore, Commissioner Johnson mentioned previous thoughts that traffic signals at the State Road 417 intersection be coordinated, suggested that speed limits be reduced along State Road 434 to Tuskawilla Road, and hoped that both of these items could be included in the presentation to FDOT. Commissioner Johnson also referenced complaints he had received regarding safety issues at the Creeks Run intersection at State Road 434. Furthermore, Commissioner Johnson hoped that State Representative David Smith be contacted to see if he could offer any assistance. Commissioner Dallari said they would do that. Additionally, Commissioner Johnson and Mayor Lacey further expressed their appreciation to Commissioner Dallari. "I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE RESOLUTION 2019-21 EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR THE COUNTY AND DOT MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS PROPOSED PROJECT." MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR CANNON. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

Dream Finders Townhomes Contract Obligation Mr. Christopher Schmidt, Director, Community Development Department presented this Agenda Item for discussion. Attorney Garganese gave an overview of aspects related to this Agenda Item. Mayor Lacey asked Attorney Garganese to provide a brief synopsis of what the City Commission was being asked to do; to which Attorney Garganese said, "The Staff is requesting direction relative to the conveyance obligation that's set forth in the recorded Development Agreements for Neighborhood Parks `#4' and `#5'. Ifyou look at the Preliminary Engineering Plans that are in your package, it's difficult to implement those Plans and proceed with their Applications for Final Engineering, Aesthetic Review and Platwith the understanding that Neighborhood Parks `#4' and `#5' are denoted on their development parcel; so Staff is requesting direction regarding the necessity of such conveyance of such squares in conjunction with the development of their parcel." Deputy Mayor Cannon referred to the Plans and inquired of Attorney Garganese, "Did they do the required carveouts of the Parks `#4' and `#57' Attorney Garganese responded, "As they are depicted, they do not have the necessary carveouts for neighborhood Parks `#4' and `#5'."

Rosen, Esquire, Burr Forman, 200 South Orange Avenue, Suite 800, Orlando, Florida: representing Dream Finders Homes, Mr. Rosen provided a history of the Dream Finders Homes project to the present time. Continuing with his remarks, Mr. Rosen then provided new documents to the City Commission and further addressed their proposed project. Mr. Dan Edwards, Vice President of Land, Dream Finders Homes, 8529 South Park Circle, Suite 830, Orlando, Florida: commented further on their planned project. Commissioner Kendrick asked if any of the new material had been provided to City Staff prior to this meeting. Manager Boyle responded, "Not that I am aware of." Attorney Garganese added, "No." Mayor Lacey inquired, "Was the essence of their proposal for this .88 acres communicated to the City prior to tonight?" Manager Boyle stated, "No, not in this capacity that he is showing on the board." Commissioner Johnson asked how the City got to this point. "Would not the original layout show specifically that these two (2) parks, numbers `#4' and `#5' were part of this property when purchased?" Attorney Garganese stated, "The Development Agreements that are recorded against the land are public information and would be available and any Title Report relevant to the subject property." Commissioner Johnson then inquired, "Whose responsibility is it to make sure that these parks are going to be part of any development on this particular parcel?" Attorney Garganese commented that he thought that "#4" and "#5" were last memorialized in a recorded document in 2010 through a development commitment agreement between the property owner and the City and indicated that the neighborhood parks "#4" and "#5" were an outstanding obligation which ran with the land. Commissioner Johnson questioned why due diligence was not done by the Developer. Further, Deputy Mayor Cannon commented on recorded binding obligations, as well as the park locations, and the proposed plans from Dream Finders Homes. Brief discussion. Commissioner Kendrick suggested, "The information that we have tonight that is in front of us, these five (5) pages, are brand new. I think we would only be prudent for this to go back to Staff and be brought to us at another time, period." Mayor Lacey noted his agreement. Addressing the representatives of Dream Finders Homes, Commissioner Hale asked, "So, my understanding is you want us to release you from your contractual obligations to take away green spaces for our children?" Mr. Rosen said, No, however they wanted to be treated like other Developers. Commissioner Hale then said, "I cannot speak for prior Commission's decisions but it is of utmost importance to me personally, that we maintain the spaces for the children." Commissioner Hale also mentioned that the buffers as presented were not acceptable. Next, Commissioner Johnson remarked about the importance of green space as often mentioned by residents. Commissioner Johnson then noted, "When I look at this map, I would hope someone would be able to tell me, for example, right in the center of the map, it is depicted as 0.11 acres I believe. I am assuming that that is in fact, part of this project - that doesn't appear to be any type of public space to me." Furthermore, Commissioner Johnson said, "To the green area at the left hand corner, adjacent to the Trail, can somebody from Dream Finders perhaps tell me what the vision is for that?" With some brief remarks, Mr. Edwards referenced the map and stated, "These are areas that are open space, so the green space, kind of in the center, the intention of that is to be basically a park track, a green space. The original intention based off of the Preliminary and Engineering approval was for that to be owned and maintained by the association that would be set up for this project. So, what we're proposing is - we will obviously build that green space and if it's the desire of the City, we would convey it over to the City. The same for the space up by the Trail; that is just currently kind of a green space that's been proposed near the Trail, there is access to the Trail there." With additional comments, Mr. Edwards stated, "We're happy to work with you, figure out those green spaces, and again, convey them to you." Remarks continued. Commissioner Johnson inquired about a structure shown on the map, to which Mr. Edwards stated that it was an existing Lift Station and added, "There is open space around that but we didn't include that." Continuing, Mr. Edwards, added, "That's certainly something that if the City would like to have though, we would be willing to convey." Deputy Mayor Cannon said to Mr. Edwards, "Areyou telling the Commission thatyou were not aware in your due diligence and in reviewing through the recorded agreements that run with the land that these two (2) squares, `#4' and `#5'were there before you did your lay out?" Mr. Edwards mentioned that he was not involved with this project in 2018. Mr. Batey McGraw, National Vice President of Land, Dream Finders Homes, 74707 Phillips Highway, Jacksonville, Florida: stated, "Dan was not involved with the project at the time. I was, and essentially we were under contract on the property. We had not purchased it. We were working with Lochrane (Engineering, Inc.) at the time, now NV5 (Inc.), who was very familiar with the project. We were going through all these documents and we came up with a plan which is materially identical to what you see on the screen today." With further remarks, Mr. McGraw added, "Again, certainly, the information is clearly there now. In retrospect, we did not identify that those parks were apart of our plan or needed to be a part of the plan. Again, we didn't buy the property until after we went through that preliminary engineering process and got feedback from the Staff, got feedback from the Council and the City and got that approval. So, at that point, we took that to carry the most weight and not necessarily these voluminous documents thatwere in the title policy. So, that doesn't excuse us from the fact that those still exist and are still applicable to the property today. But I think that just to give you - it is not as if it was a negligent or even devious attempt to not follow the agreement. It was - something that was missed; we went through a process which then sort of superseded any of those things we felt like. And we used that knowledge and that assumption to proceed forward and purchase the property." Attorney Garganese noted for the Record the following from the City's Code, "9-49. of the City Code specifically states that `Approval of the preliminary plan shall be construed as authority for submitting a final plan in accordance with this chapter. Approval of the preliminary plan by the city council shall not be construed as authority for the sale of lots in reference to the preliminary plan, nor as for authority for obtaining building permits, nor for the recording of a plat, nor for the installation of required improvements'." Further comments. Commissioner Kendrick pointed out, "A representative from Dream Finders did just state that discrepancies were there and they were available to be caught by them. I mean they were there. What I wanted to do tonight was have solutions. I wanted to find solutions. I wanted to hear alternatives. We have heard one, it was put on our desk right now. We did not have time to review it, Staff has not had time to review it." With further remarks, Commissioner Kendrick suggested that the Developer could sit down with City Staff. Additional comments continued. Attorney Garganese pointed out that "Staff is seeking direction regarding the outstanding contractual obligations because tentatively their Final Engineering Plans have been scheduled for Planning and Zoning Board VLocal Planning Agency] consideration, the beginning of October and then the Commission at the next meeting." "I AM PREPARED TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE AS A CITY PRESERVE OUR CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS UNDER THESE RECORDED INSTRUMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN ON FILE FOR YEARS, AND THEN IF THAT IS THE GUIDANCE STAFF IS LOOKING FOR, I AM PREPARED TO SAY, YES, WE SHOULD PRESERVE OUR CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS AS A CITY UNDER THESE RECORDED INSTRUMENTS AND ALLOW THE APPLICANT TO GET BACK WITH STAFF AND WITH YOU ANTHONY, TO SEE WHAT CAN BE MODIFIED, WHAT LAYOUTS, OR WHATEVER CAN BE ADDRESSED."

Commissioner Kendrick remarked, "I completely agree with everything you said.
