Mayor Bush asked Mr. Kaplan, "Have you spoken with the City Manager at all about
this?" Mayor Bush then said to Mr. Kaplan, "1 think it would be beneficial if you would

Commissioner Cindy Gennell.
Mr. Edward Martinez, Jr., 205 Little Creek Lane, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke of the

Mr. Kevin Fall, Director of Economic Development, Seminole County, 1101 East First
Street, Sanford, Florida: gave a presentation to the City Commission.
Discussion.
Mr. Fall stated, "What we're really after for here is comment by the cities with regards to
how you feel about these design guidelines in the areas that we have chosen. The [US
Highway] 17-92 CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) has been one of the very
unified efforts that we've had since its inception in 1997 - really starting to see a lot of
success along the corridor. The market interest is starting to be - what we are trying to be
is proactive, rather than reactive so that we don't have to have a different set of rules for a
different set of Developers; that all, everybody plays by the same rules and everybody
has same ability to gain the same intensities and densities, and it is an economic
program. "

Further, Mr. Fall explained, "We've been to each of the cities, and - what we are
requesting is that the City Commission send comments through the City Manager back to
me at the County, and then 1 will take those comments forward to a final meeting of our
RP A (Redevelopment Planning Agency) which at this point in time is scheduled for June
30th - and then they would be forwarded then to the CRA (Community Redevelopment
Agency) sitting as a Board on their meeting in July, 1 think it's the 23rd. Again, if
favorable considerations are given to this, they would all come back then to the
individual cities for again, your amendments to your Land Development Code."
Discussion.
Mayor Bush said, "Commissioners will get their information into either Commissioner
Miller or the [City] Manager." Commissioner Robert S. Miller suggested, "I would just
give it to Ron [McLemore]."

Department introduced this Agenda Item.
Discussion.
Ms. Sahlstrom noted, "There is a mistake in your Agenda Item, and that is just on the
Table that lists the existing Land Uses, Zoning, and Future Land Use.
There was an error - south of this property. It states that it is 'Single Family Residential',
McKinley Mill subdivision, obviously that was a carryover from a previous Agenda Item.
South of this particular property, Mr. Moretti also owns an adjacent piece and it's utilized
for auto related retail and commercial uses. It has a 'C-2' Seminole County designation.
So I just wanted to correct that."

Ms. M Rebecca Furman, Attorney, Lowndes Drosdick Doster Kantor & Reed, P.A., 215
North Eola Drive, Orlando, Florida: as Counsel for the Keewin Real Property Company,
Ms. Furman spoke on the merits of this project.
Discussion.
Ms. Furman stated, "The Applicant in the Developer's Agreement to help the
compatibility with those properties that are commercial and industrial to the west, we've
agreed to provide for a six foot (6') high wall on top of a five foot (5') high berm, with
trees, shrubs, and importantly, irrigation and that's along the western boundary. The
Applicant has also proposed in the Developer's Agreement to address the concern of
some of the property owners to the west - and we saw Mr. Moretti's property was up just
before ours - he has warehouses that build sheds there, and we certainly don't want to
bring in residents and then have them complain about what Mr. Moretti has a right to do
and is already doing there. So, we agreed to include in our CC&R's (Covenants,
Conditions, and Restrictions) to be approved by your City Attorney, Notice indicating
that the properties to the west have an 'Industrial' designation."
Discussion.
Mr. George Kosmac, Deputy Superintendent, Seminole County Public Schools, 400 East

Commissioner Sally McGinnis then said to Mr. Kosmac, "If you would like to reiterate
your position on this project as it relates to the school, I would appreciate it."
Mr. Kosmac stated, "Taking a look at this development, yes, it certainly does have an
impact on our Schools, however, looking at our Elementary [School] capacity, we do
have capacity there at the Elementary Schools. One of the concerns I do have of it is -
Highlands - one of the issues we have is that Layer Elementary is below capacity. So,
one of the options we may want to consider is seeing if the Developer would agree to
having its Elementary students possibly go to Layer Elementary. That would be a big
help to the School District if you go ahead and approve this - proposal."
Discussion.
Tape 2/Side A
Further discussion.
Ms. Sahlstrom pointed out that, "There is a citizen information list available. It's a
courtesy list that you can sign so that the State has your information and they can send
you information on any decisions they render on this."
Discussion ensued on Industrial Land Uses, to which Deputy Mayor Michael S. Blake
asked, "What about other locations within the City, for instance the area on [State Road]
419 commonly known as the Winter Springs Industrial Park?" Ms. Sahlstrom stated,
"Most of that land is currently being used and in many cases it is not compatible with the
Zoning. There are also enclaves of County land in there that we don't have - currently
under our jurisdiction; so there is some acreage that could be added once those enclaves
would be annexed. There's not a lot, it's a very limited amount."
Further discussion.
Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs asked Attorney Garganese, "What happens if DCA
(Department of Community Affairs) does not accept the answers?" Attorney Garganese
stated, "If DCA (Department of Community Affairs) still has objections after the
Commission adopts a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, then they will publish a Notice
to find the Comprehensive Plan Amendment not in Compliance with State Law at which
point the City will have a decision to make - they can withdraw the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment or they're going to end up - going to an Administrative Hearing to defend
the Comprehensive Plan Amendment that was adopted."

With discussion, Commissioner Krebs asked Ms. Furman, "We know that there's a
hundred seventy-five foot (175') buffer between the Wildwood area and - acreage - the
power easement; and you suggested a buffer, a five foot (5') berm with a six foot (6')
wall. What kind of wall?" Ms. Furman stated, "It would come back before you in the
PUD (Planned Unit Development) to the Developer." Ms. Furman then explained, "That
was what we would build as a wall; a berm and a wall. That's not necessarily saying then
that we wouldn't have any setbacks also." Commissioner Krebs then asked Ms. Furman,
"You are planning setbacks then?" Ms. Furman also stated, "I'm sure that we would
have to have some sort of setbacks between 'Industrial' and 'Residential'."
Commissioner Krebs stated, "Would you happen to know approximately how much?"
Ms. Furman stated, "I'm sure it's in your Code when we come back for the PUD
(Planned Unit Development)."
Continuing, Commissioner Krebs said, "The berm, would that not cause the water to
drain in a different way?" Ms. Furman stated, "I'd have to defer to my Engineer, David
Evans, if he wants to come up. But, anything is going to have to be, will have to be
approved by your City Engineering, also any surface water that is moved."
Mr. David Evans, Evans Engineering, 719 Irma Avenue, Orlando, Florida: stated, "The
berm that we have proposed on the western side of the property adjacent to the Industrial
property, would have to be swaled on both sides in order to accommodate the drainage.
We're talking about a five foot (5') berm with probably four to one (4:1) side slopes, it's
maintainable with landscaping and irrigation like you mentioned before."
Commissioner Krebs said, "I am concerned, not that there's redevelopment or will be
redevelopment on [US Highway] 17-92, I think it is a great thing; but - are these two (2)
story buildings..." Ms. Furman stated, "... Yes..." Commissioner Krebs continued,
"...And so you've got five foot (5') and six foot (6'), what is that - eleven feet (11')...?"
Commissioner Krebs added, "Then they get to enjoy the scenery on [US Highway] 17-
92?" Then, Commissioner Krebs asked, "Would there be windows on that side?" Ms.
Furman noted, "Yes, people on two (2) story's - people would be able to look out, but
this is something that they would know when they came to purchase a unit. That's part of
why we're adding in the CC&R's (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions) exactly what
is next to us and I think that it looks like it's the long range plan of the County and
they're asking for you all to agree to upgrade that."
With further discussion, Commissioner Krebs said, "But, I understand you're also going
to let those people know that they are going to be abutting commercial property and are
you going to have them sign something; because I sure would like them to sign it."
Commissioner Krebs added, "They should really be made to realize, that that is what it
is."

Ms. Furman stated, "Your Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R's) are part of
the Title work that would go along with each of the sales." Ms. Furman added, "I think
they'll be on notice several different ways.
First of all, not many people buy property that they don't at least drive by, so they will be
on visual notice. Mr. Morretti has an active operation out there. It's not as if this is
vacant land that's one day going to be something - so, 1 mean they're on constructive
notice that - it's the existing use that's out there now.
We'll also put it in the CC&R's (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions) which are in
the Title; there's much more important stuff in that Title information than just that. So, 1
don't see the need to actually have them give an Affidavit or sign something like that.
And, actually, when you put it in the Title work - if you have someone who purchases
this and then resells, it'll run with the Title and each person will then be on Notice. 1
think that's a better way of doing it than just having someone sign a piece of paper or
sign a Waiver."

PUBLIC HEARINGS
202. Community Development Department - Planning Division
Requests The City Commission Hold A Public Hearing For The Aesthetic Review
Of Phase II A Of The Winter Springs Town Center Located In The Northeast
Corner Of State Road 434 And Tuskawilla Road. Phase II A Consists Of 312
Condominium Units And 33,292 Square Feet Of Retail/Restaurant/Office Space.
Mr. Randy Stevenson, ASLA, Director, Community Development Department
introduced this Agenda Item and stated, "This is an Item again, for Aesthetic for - what
has - come to be known as Phase II. If you'll look at your map that is basically this area
in the northeast quadrant of Tuskawilla [Road] and [State Road] 434, it kind of wraps
around the McDonald's, it's very small. But, it's in this area right here. We'll have
another map up a little bit later that you can see."
Continuing, Mr. Stevenson explained, "Phase II of the Winter Springs Town Center
incorporates two (2) major buildings and each has a vertical mixture of retail, office, and
restaurant on the ground floor along Tuskawilla [Road], what we'll call Main Street in
this area and along Tree Swallow [Drive], going through this area. The remainder of
these buildings incorporates the upper floors as well as the ground floors on the alleys,
and internal roadways are compromised of residential condominium units. Each building
incorporates also or encapsulates, if you will, a parking structure within the building.
Access is from Tuskawilla Road, Tree Swallow Drive, and through the internal alleyways
which is a Town Center street that will have future connection to the spine road that will
be located east of this parcel.
The proposed buildings, as we've looked at it, if we can bring those up. Let me make a
disclaimer if you will. I'm going to go through and present this as we had written it. It is
my understanding that some of our recommendations have already been worked on by
the Applicant. I have not seen those until tonight. When they do their presentation, they
will may well answer some of the items that Staff will bring up at this point as part of our
review - the four (4) areas that both your Staff and your Consultant's were concerned
about on this facility were as it relates to Building 1. Building 1, the northern side of
Building 1, fronts upon Magnolia Park.
If you look at the boards, if I might, we were concerned that there were units in Building
1, on the first floor, that were residential. Your Code requires that those units open onto
- with a working entrance onto the ground floor, onto the open space. They originally
did not. What you're looking at here, are the entrances that have been incorporated so
that comment has been taken care of by the Consultant. This is looking south from
Magnolia Park onto this fa9ade right here. That was one of the main concerns that we
had." Mayor Bush stated, "So, it's been addressed though?" Mr. Stevenson commented,
"It has been addressed at this point. Yes."

PAGE II OF 45
Mr. Stevenson continued, "The other situation involved awnings, along the frontage
where you have your commercial along mostly Tuskawilla [Road], but a little bit along
Tree Swallow [Drive] here. What we've indicated to the Applicant, is that they weren't
getting five foot (5') awnings to be used in conjunction with colonnades to take care of
that first floor covering. We've indicated that those awnings need to be a minimum of
six feet (6') and I believe they have agreed to do that; and - that would be the awnings,
again, that you see right here - this is Tree Swallow [Drive] fac;ade. That would be the
awnings that are coupled with the colonnades that were along Building 1 here, and along
Building 2 to the south of Tree Swallow [Drive].
Again, that would be this commercial area that you are seeing here and here. And, they
have agreed to work with us on that to resolve that. They've also agreed to another
concern was again along Magnolia that there was not enough shade there. There's a
double sidewalk. They've agreed to work with us there in terms of the building, but
primarily the landscaping that would shade this area and provide a nice space along that
divided sidewalk there next to the park.
Item [(6)] b., there was no Aesthetic Review done of the signage, the street signage and
the light poles at this point - that would be the subject of a future Aesthetic Review.
The other two items are as I began to explain earlier. You have two (2) segments where
the garages -look onto a public space. One is right here that we've talked about - we are
requesting that they - and I don't have this one in color - the main one that we've talked
about and that everyone's been aware of - for a long time now, is this large opening of
the garage right here. What you're looking at is this fac;ade. Our comments are based on
a prior review but what you see in the boards is this building right here. This is how
they're treating the garage at this point. This area right here - is this garage looking
north. If I were standing here looking into this garage, this is the fac;ade treatment that
they have proposed. Again, Staff has just seen this for the first time tonight.
Our original comment was that they needed to go back and bring this back for future
Aesthetic Review because we felt that the fac;ade was too horizontal in its nature. While
this is better, again I have - not had a whole lot of time to review this, but this is what's
being proposed. The colors are in fact better and the fact that they brought this section of
the building out, breaks up that horizontal nature of the building there, but this is another
concern that Staff has at this point. Again, this is a better fac;ade than they had proposed
before, but we haven't had a whole lot oftime to review that.
There were also seven (7) units - again we have the same situation where we have a
ground floor unit that does not have a main entrance onto the local public space that was
a unit, here I believe and - three (3) units here and four (4) units right here, as far
Building 2 is concerned.

My understanding from George [Tullos] is that they have been able to address those
issues and he will bring that to you a little bit later in the presentation. Those are the four
(4) or five (5) main issues that Staff had on this project. We have found that the project is
consistent and compatible with the Town Center design specifications except as we've
noted. These deviations are to be addressed in the future modification to the
Development Agreement known as the Implementation portion.
The new buildings will use colors and materials of an architectural detailing which
compliments the Town Center, both the existing and proposed. We have found the
Applicant's request for Aesthetic Review to be in Compliance and we recommend
approval of that Aesthetic package subject to the deviations that we have brought forward
to you tonight. The Applicant wants to talk about those. Again he has addressed some of
those and Staff has seen these drawings for the first time tonight."
Next, Mr. Stevenson stated, "(6) d., talks about Magnolia Square, which they have fixed-
that and that is shown right here. They have given us ground floor entrances to these
condominiums. The remainder of that talks about another units - seven (7) units in
Building 2 and I understand it's actually eight (8) that are located Mr. Mayor, right here
and along Tree Swallow [Drive] and along what is being called Southwestern - right now
they fixed the Magnolia - the - ground four (4) condominiums along this. . .
Tape 2/Side B
. . . section of Building 2, were the ones that had internal entrances and did not meet the
Town Center Code in terms of having their main entrance on a public space - Tree
Swallow [Drive]. All four (4) floors are made up of residential condominiums.
Again, the arched entryways that you have seen on several of these - the arched
entryways here, lead to the encapsulated garage structures that are behind these liner
buildings; and there are two (2) areas that we need to really take a look at. One is - I
think we have a black and white rendering of this - embedded garage."
Furthermore, Mr. Stevenson added, "Staff was very happy with the overall architecture
and again I'll answer some specific questions for you, but I think the Applicant is going
to do that. But again, there are several things that I want to bring to your attention if
you'll go back to the fa9ade along Tuskawilla [Road] - which is this one right here."

Mr. Stevenson explained, "We had made a comment, one of our comments was the
awnings and the treatment of the first floor balcony area in here to shade the storefronts -
what was proposed were five foot (5') awnings, or six foot (6') awnings I believe in that
area. We felt, as did your Consultant, the Town Center Consultant that those awnings
needed to be wider; because in the summertime, we're not going to get that much help
from the buildings located to the west side of Tuskawilla [Road], because of the angle of
the sun in the summertime and the way it rotates around. So, I think the Applicant has
looked at that area.
If you'll go to the Building 1, along the Tree Swallow [Drive] side - basically what I
want to show you is there are two (2) areas, this area of the garage is exposed to the alley
way and for a period of time depending upon what happens here to State Road 434 -
there is approximately a sixty-five (65) lineal foot area of this garage that is exposed right
here. I want to show you those two (2) facades."
Continuing, Mr. Stevenson stated, "This is Building 1 and this is the area of that comer
behind that - behind this fa9ade, right here, this area of the fa9ade, is that comer of the
garage and what this is, is a walkway, a covered walkway from this building, from this
building to that building, to the internal entrances. Staff, when we talk about the sixty
feet (60') long that fronts on Cross Seminole Trail, this is the area that we're talking
about. We feel that our original comment was that the fa9ade needed to have the window
treatments along the base of this building and that this walkway rather being an
appendage, should be something that is a colonnade that adds a little more to this fa9ade,
and again this is the same comment, that believe it or not, Staff and your Consultant came
up with independently. I think the Architect will address the reason they did it this way,
a little bit later."
Brief discussion ensued on the order of the plans and display boards.
Mr. Stevenson then said, "One is the sixty foot (60') fa9ade area that I just spoke to you
about. We felt that that needs to be treated a little bit differently. The Architect that
worked on that is going to be talking to you about that in a little bit. We feel that the
covered walkway needs to be a colonnade incorporated into the building."

Mr. George D. Tullos, James Doran Company, 216 Seven Farms Drive, Suite 200,
Charleston, South Carolina: thanked the City Commission and Staff for their efforts on
this project.
Mr. Tullos then stated, "We actually found one (1) Staff didn't, and went ahead and put
the entry to it on the front and that was right on the end here. And then we came over to
the ones that Randy [Stevenson] pointed out, we've added entry here, and then the
remaining units - if you will see that wide swath of landscaping right there, here is the
theory - we can go back and add entrances to those units.

What happens is you impact that landscaped area which we were creating common
seating gathering space as is prominent throughout the Town Center and really has been
requested by every other approval that we've gained - is to provide some kind of
gathering area.
So, if we eat into that landscaping and that is a large seating area as you can see, then we
have to bring sidewalks back there to those units and it disrupts, I think a public gathering
area or at least a quiet gathering area. Off the back side, right here, from the back side of
the unit, it is a five foot (5') drop so you would have to have some pretty tall looking
stairs coming up there that I think would provide entirely too much concrete along that
street fayade, not to mention you have head-in parking, diagonal parking that's going all
along there, so you really are not going to have a whole lot of room there to drop stairs
down to the front end of cars that are pulling in. So, what we felt like was, we went back
and added here, we added here, we could add here if need be, but these units just - it
didn't make a lot of practical sense to add entry to.
We did go back on Magnolia Park and added the three (3) units and added their entrances
out to the park and they look fantastic - this is the Magnolia Park elevation. If you were
standing in the park or near the fountain looking back onto the building, you'd see where
we've added the stoops to three (3) units, and this is a retail space."
Continuing, Mr. Tullos stated, "Right here, we've added this stoop, this and this. Those
are three (3) residential units that will front Magnolia Park and then that is a retail space.
Probably a Bistro, Cafe type space; it's a fairly small retail space what works there. And
that's really where we've addressed the stoops meeting parks and roads."
Mr. Tullos then noted, "This particular board really showcases what we have done to the
garage. We bumped this out significantly to reveal on either side - we've changed the
color, the brick, and the stucco or whatever finish would be here. These colors differ
from the colors in the middle and then these colors are repeated over here. So, you go
from a lighter brick to a darker brick to a lighter brick and then the contrasting color in
the middle, and you can even add more contrast if need be. And then we bumped this up
to eliminate that long span of just straight horizontal."
Commissioner Donald A. Gilmore asked, "Is that what it would look like from [State
Road] 434?" Mr. Tullos said, "That is what it would look like from [State Road] 434
until such time we build a building on what you can't see is a full pad there, and we're
nowhere near a deal, but we are in discussions to begin what would look like a three (3)
to four (4) story office building." Mayor Bush said, "There would be an office building
there?" Mr. Tullos said, "Yes Sir, correct."

Commissioner McGinnis asked, "Explain to me the inner entry. What's the option? You
walk into a hallway?" Mr. Tullos said, "That is an internal corridor right there - those
units actually have their front door entry off the hallway. So, it is a secure internal
corridor." Commissioner McGinnis said, "I don't have a problem with that over-hanging
sidewalks and steps." Commissioner Miller said, "Also, this is the Trail here?" Mr.
Tullos said, "That's correct." Commissioner Miller then said, "It would actually go on
the outside of these trees here?"
Mr. Tullos said, "It does. It follows a similar line, correct - I didn't touch on this - but I
didn't mention this fayade which Randy [Stevenson] brought up and we're looking at
some things we can do there. I think we can strengthen the colonnade, I think we can add
a couple of columns, it will kind of add some variety to that side of the building. But,
you also have to realize that from the Trail, if you were on the Trail down here, you
would be looking up roughly four feet (4') to come to the walkway."
Commissioner Miller stated, "I like your comment about that - park right there because
there will be people going back and forth to the other side of those trees constantly, going
back and forth." Mr. Tullos said, "Correct." Mr. Tullos added, "That area that - is
depicted right here, and you can that as a seated area, a nice large round area. These are
the units in question, you can see that we added this particular stoop to accommodate the
Code. These two (2) - if we start popping in the sidewalk back there and there - these
are benches all along here. I would really rather project a community feel - straight off
the street and into the place."
Commissioner McGinnis pointed to an area and said, "What is this?" Mr. Tullos said,
"That is the garage area we're talking about and if you were looking at these columns
here I think we could add more and beef this up a little bit. That is the small section of
garage in the north building - that is this area right here, Commissioner." Commissioner
McGinnis said, "Okay." Mr. Tullos said, "It is a walkway right now. If you came down
this internal corridor and you entered your units along here, you could come from the
parking garage out here and walk out. There is really nowhere for anyone to go. It's
more for ingress and egress in case of emergency and access to this private courtyard
here. It will be for the residents."
Deputy Mayor Blake said, "I understand that sometime in the future, that this is going to
be an alley with some building in front of it, at least from somewhere, here to here." Mr.
Tullos said, "Correct." Deputy Mayor Blake said, "Assuming that McDonald's might be
there for a while, that means that this portion is going to be exposed potentially for a long
time to come. You don't have control over that property. There is no current plan to
purchase it or redevelop it or turn it into something like this."

Deputy Mayor Blake asked, "What is your expected timeframe on all this?" Mr. Tullos
said, "Thanks to you all, we have an early disturbance Permit and could move forward
with early Site Work, clearing, grubbing, and so forth. We think we could probably do
that in the next thirty (30) days. We are trying to select a Site Work Contractor now.
Once we have that person in place, I think we could move forward with the Arbor Permit
and put everything in motion - we have to begin on the infrastructure which we still need
Final Engineering approval, and infrastructure includes Roadways, Sewer - your pond,
the two (2) garages. I would hope to begin garage construction, March."
Next, Deputy Mayor Blake asked, "How tall is this garage? Looks like its four (4)
stories?" Mr. Tullos stated, "Both garages are five (5) stories." Deputy Mayor Blake
said, "Five (5) floors. There is parking on the roof?" Mr. Tullos said, "That is correct."
Deputy Mayor Blake asked, "Your entrance discussion back over here, I agree with.
Leave it how it is." Mr. Tullos said, "Okay."
Discussion.
City Manager Ronald W. McLemore asked, "These Elevations are all rear Elevations
aren't they, for those buildings? That's the rear facing the alley, right?" Mr. Tullos said,
"That's correct. It faces the alley and [State Road] 434." Manager McLemore said,
"But, when the building is built, this will all be covered by the building and this will be
basically on the alley." Mr. Tullos said, "That is correct. And that alley is a one (1) way
access." Manager McLemore said, "So, this becomes rear building to rear building..."
Mr. Tullos said, "... That is correct..." Manager McLemore then said, "... This is then
totally covered by another building." Mr. Tullos said, "That is absolutely correct."

'Building 2 Alley Elevation' - the ones with the flat roofs - how long before there will be
anything projected?" Mr. Tullos said, "If we sign the right amount of leases, we'd start
the building as quickly as we can be permitted. We are actively marketing that pad, let's
put it that way, and we are trying to do something as quickly as we can. I don't want to
fail you. So, I don't want to put a date on it."

MANAGER McLEMORE SAID, "IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE COMMISSION
IS GOING TO NEED SOME DEGREE OF CERTAINTY ABOUT THE TIMING
OF THE CONSTRUCTION SO THE BUILDING IN ORDER TO APPROVE
THIS SITE; THE FACT THAT IF WE WANT TO DO IT 'SOMETIME IN THE
FUTURE', I DON'T THINK IS GOOD ENOUGH. THE QUESTION IS, I THINK
YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE SOME COMMITMENT TO SATISFY ME, MAYBE
NOT TO SATISFY THE COMMISSION; BUT WHEN ARE THOSE BUILDINGS
GOING TO TAKE PLACE SO THAT FA<;ADE IS NOT WHAT YOU SEE IN
THE TOWN CENTER? AND IT SEEMS TO ME, IT NEEDS TO BE
SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF, IT'S OUR PRIORITY AND OUR NEXT
SET OF BUILDINGS."
MR. TULLOS SAID, "IT'S CERTAINLY OUR PRIORITY BECAUSE IT'S A
HIGHLY MARKET ABLE, VERY EXPENSIVE PIECE OF FRONT AGE ON
[STATAE ROAD] 434, SO IT'S PART OF OUR MARKETING PLAN TODAY.
WE ARE IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THOSE THAT I CANNOT NAME BECAUSE
I DON'T WANT TO SEND ANY FALSE HOPES OUT THERE. WE ARE
WORKING DILIGENTLY TO DO THAT NOW. AS FAR AS MAKING A
FUTURE TIME COMMITMENT, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, IT'S
SOMEWHAT UNREALISTIC, BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHO MAY SIGN,
WHAT TYPE TENANT WE MAY GET, WHAT OTHER TYPE TENANTS WE
MAY GET. I WOULD LOVE TO TELL YOU WE'RE GOING TO START THAT
BUILDING, VERY NEXT THING."
MANAGER McLEMORE SAID, "TO ME, IT'S NOT AN ISSUE WHETHER IT'S
SIX (6) MONTHS OR A YEAR. TO ME, THE ISSUE IS THAT THAT'S YOUR
NEXT PRIORITY - NOT WHEN WE GET AROUND TO IT BECAUSE SOME
TENANT FITS THAT CRITERIA." MR. TULLOS SAID, "NO, NOT AT ALL..."

Requests The City Commission Hold A Public Hearing For A Modification To The

Boulevard At Northern Way And Gary Hillery Drive.
Ms. Sahlstrom introduced this Agenda Item.
Deputy Mayor Blake stated, "Mr. [Alec] String called me and asked me to come by and
take a look, which I did. So I have been on site to look at each one of these issues."
Continuing, Deputy Mayor Blake said that regarding the landscape area where it curves,
"Currently, we are supposed to have a small piece of green space in there and some
landscaping, etceteras." Deputy Mayor Blake added, "What we are talking - is this area
right here and on the other side, the same. Currently, there is a sidewalk that comes
across here, and on this side, as soon as the sidewalk goes across and cuts right over into
because the walkway goes out here for where the parking access is, so it is actually about
ten (10) or twelve feet (12') this way - and just a few feet going back the other way, right
here on each side - the idea is, where these two (2) ends are, if there were very large -
and these planters are very large - these things are - probably four feet (4') around and sit
up maybe thirty-six inches (36") or so."
Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Blake stated, "If this were to be either concrete or paver and
there is actually space here, although it doesn't look like it, but there is space here where
there could be a circle cut where a tree could be planted, a nice little shade tree." Deputy
Mayor Blake added, "A feature like that where also there would be room to have a little
seating area out here on each side. If it were set up like that, I think it would be nice. If it
were just going to be concreted over and left there - I don't think it adds any value to the
project at all. To turn a little bit of green grass right here, I don't know that that looks as
nice as it would having the big planters and a nice shrub or something, so I could go
either way on that; but I would want to see the tree as well as the planters."
Discussion ensued on suggested colors for the shutters, to which Deputy Mayor Blake
commented, "I think the black would like nice. I think - there are a lot of different colors
that would probably look nice. I don't think they have to be white or aluminum or
something like that." Discussion.

Deputy Mayor Blake then said, "On the Utility areas, there is one thing on here that is not
mentioned - the screening of the electrical areas - the panels they really need to have the
screening on there, and when 1 talked to him, he was willing to do that. The second thing
though is the short walls that block the AlC units, really need to be another row higher. 1
don't know whether it is a foot, fourteen inches (14") - 1 don't think it would be an
engineering question because it is not that tall anyway - 1 know they have a cap that is
going on them already and they will get another eight inches (8"), but they really need
another twelve inches (12") beyond that to do the job effectively. So 1 would like to see
that done as well."
Further discussion.
Commissioner Krebs remarked, "I did in fact go out and meet with - Alec [String] and 1
agree with everything that Commissioner Blake said. He also mentioned in the paved
area, that he would like to put some type of seat, which 1 thought would be rather
attractive and 1 know exactly the size of the pots. 1 know exactly what he is talking
about. 1 think it would probably look nice and 1 will go along with the tree. The color -
he did talk to me about was black."
Manager McLemore said, "Generally, 1 agree with what you said, the electrical box issue
has to be solved. It just has to be solved." Manager McLemore added, "I hope the
Commission agrees wholeheartedly." Commissioner McGinnis stated, "Absolutely, 1
do."
Mr. Bill Starmer, Architect, Starmer, Ranaldi Planning and Architecture (sri), 890
Northern Way, Winter Springs, Florida: said "They were never identified as planters,
they were never identified as curves, walls and so when the Contractor said how do we
build them, we took a look at it and said, the way the sidewalk works there really doesn't
make a lot of sense. Let's do it more as a plaza and put some plants in it."
Furthermore, Mr. Starmer pointed out that "Two (2) of the Commissioners brought up
that they talked with Alec [String] - they would like to see a large shade tree placed in
this area, and so we are. We're cutting about a six to seven foot (6-7') diameter circle in
each one of those and we'll plant a large tree - in addition to the potted plants."
Commissioner McGinnis added, "And a bench." Mr. Starmer added, "We could
probably find a bench."

going to be a concrete wall with water running over the top of it?"
Mr. David Veil, President, V & B Associates of Orlando, Inc., 8007 Canyon Lake Circle,
Orlando, Florida: responded by saying, "There will be limited landscaping - you do
have the tree canopy for starters which is planted along the edge and then you have an
occasional one -like here along the - you'll have some vegetation there - and the rest of
it will be grass."
Commissioner Miller pointed out, "It is just that the rest of it is just grass, so if we have a
dry year, there is not going to be anything in there, right? There won't be any water
circulating?" Mr. Veit stated, "Yes, I see what you're saying - again we're trying to
aerate it - the water table elevation is such that there will always - because of the type of
pond it is, there will always be water in it. These fountains will maintain aeration, and
keep the algae away." Commissioner Miller added, "The water table there is such that
those ponds are going to be wet all the time..." Mr. Veit stated, "... That is correct."
Commissioner Miller then remarked, "And they will also accommodate the run-off from
the development itself, and the fountains will constantly be moving the water from one
level to the next..." Mr. Veit noted, "... Correct."

Mr. Veit explained, "These two (2) buildings here - and then also this building, that
would be those Elevations - similar to that although we're putting some canopies and
more storefront appearance on the first floor, to create that kind of a streetscape that
we're talking with Dover Kohl about, more urban feeling." Furthermore, Mr. Veit noted,
"We've got three (3) buildings that are ofthis - this is a - garage with - the end units have
the main living on the second floor and third floor and then there's an option for a lock-
out unit like a 'Granny flat' on the first floor and that would be that end and that end; and
then the other units would have basically, this space down here, could be a den, home
office, family room, actual bedroom or third bedroom, and then the main living room,
dining room, kitchen on this floor - two (2) bedroom..." Deputy Mayor Blake inquired,
".. .How many square feet are these?" Mr. Veit responded, "That is roughly twenty-two
hundred square foo1..." Deputy Mayor Blake then asked, "...Living space? Not
including the garage..." Mr. Veit noted, "...Correct. That is seventeen hundred (1,700)
square foot."
Continuing, Mr. Veit explained, "Anything in blue is detached car garages, so they've got
a little courtyard between the unit and the garage there. So that's again, similar
appearance. We're doing a raised door yard which is like - the front will have a little
courtyard patio area rather than a front porch. It's more in keeping with the tradition of
the Brownstone. The two (2) end units which are two (2) story and that's one difference
you'll see, the two (2) end units are two (2) story on these. The two (2) end units are
attached garage with like a little bridge - if you get a side elevation you'll see that, and
then the middle units have a - completely detached - no dwelling above the garages; and
that's kind of the end unit -like I said it's attached with a bridge on the second floor to a
master bedroom in the back, and then you've got two (2) bedrooms up front; and then a
living room, dining room, and kitchen and the family room on the first floor, courtyard,
and then the garage in the back."
With discussion, Mr. Veit commented about the space above the garages as "That would
be as an option over top of these units having about a four hundred (400) square foot
space - is that in the Developer's Agreement?" Commissioner Gilmore pointed out,
"Page 2 - middle of the second paragraph."
Mayor Bush stated, "We need a Motion to extend."

Deputy Mayor Blake stated, "We're not really doing the Elevation tonight right? We are
just looking at the Site Plan? Mr. Veit stated, "Correct." Deputy Mayor Blake added,
"So, all of this is going to come back to us." Mr. Veit noted, "Yes - with the Aesthetic
Review. I think probably for purposes of the letter, we're still reviewing whether or not
that's going to happen, those optional spaces above the garage."
Commissioner Gilmore then inquired, "You have eighty-four (84) on-street parking
spaces; one (1) handicapped accessible space." Mr. Veit commented, "The handicapped
accessible space is right here for the Club House - the individual houses have - the
garage would be the one space if somebody needed to park a car in the garage for
handicapped accessibility." Continuing on, Mr. Veit pointed out, "There are two (2)
parking spots per garage, but as far as for Code, that is the one and only spot that is
required with all the on-street."
Furthermore, Commissioner Gilmore said, "Individual garbage pick-up, is it presumed
that the people will store their garbage containers in the garage?" Mr. V eit stated, "That

And, so I would like the Commission to consider nominating you." Commissioner

consider would be again, our City Attorney. Anthony [Garganese], I would have to say
that today I saw the true spirit in you as far as what really somebody goes to college for
and as far as becoming an Attorney - I saw within you that will to fight for really what
you believed in, at any cost, and not anybody else's, but your own. And that is the true
spirit of what you are about. And I really would want to recommend you for that."

dedication and everything that she has done forever, as she has been sitting here.

ADD-ON
Deputy Mayor Michael S. Blake Requests That The City Commission Consider
Three (3) Resolutions That The City Of Oviedo Passed At Their June 5, 2006
Regular Meeting, And Review And Approve Three (3) Similar City Of Winter
Springs Resolutions, 2006-29, 2006-30, And 2006-31.
Deputy Mayor Blake introduced this Agenda Item by stating, "If everybody will recall,
we had a Joint Meeting with the City of Oviedo and the outcome of that Meeting was that
we agreed to work together in three (3) different areas, and Oviedo has already put
together and passed Resolutions memorializing each of those three (3) items - they have
sent it over to us.
We have rewritten them to be for the City of Winter Springs - in your packet are the three
(3) Resolutions from Oviedo and the three (3) reworked ones for Winter Springs. They
are basically identical with the exceptions of a few minor tweaks."
Mr. Fields pointed out that in "Attachment 'D', the City of Oviedo has lower speed limits
than we do on [State Road] 434. This is in paragraph - the 5th 'WHEREAS', the last
sentence, instead of saying, asking for a reduction to thirty (30) miles an hour which
would be very extreme in our case, from forty-five (45) to fifty (50), down to thirty (30) -
I would recommend just saying 'To appropriate and safe speed limits based on
engineering analysis', something like that, because each segment really needs to be
evaluated. "
Deputy Mayor Blake added, "The other thing on there is - renaming of the appropriate
authority on the Toll Road issue, just making sure that we have the appropriate one
named. "

Board/Local Planning Agency Members. Manager McLemore noted, "They are there to
take the Comp [Comprehensive] Plan and apply it to the Application and make
Findings."
Tape 4/Side B
Regarding the difference in opinions, Mayor Bush added, "This gets back to the fact that
we are not doing a good job of informing the citizens of the - Comprehensive Plan, the
Town Center - and I think we have to keep doing this. It isn't something you just do
once, and say, 'We've done it'. It has to go on all the time." Furthermore, Mayor Bush
suggested, "I think that is one thing we have to continue to educate the public on, is what
direction the City is going and why it is going in that direction."
Mayor Bush remarked, "I have contacted - the Workforce Housing people in the State of
Florida. I have asked them to come down in August to have a Special Meeting to discuss
the options that are available." Mayor Bush further explained, "I basically said they need
to come and educate us from the ground up."
Continuing, Mayor Bush remarked, "I just want to let you know that they have agreed to
come and they will give us - starting at the ground level and work up, and answer our
questions and so forth - they are out of Tallahassee. I will let you know the date for sure,
it will be a Special Meeting and it will probably be a Monday, other than the Monday that
we have our Regular Commission Meetings."
Commissioner McGinnis noted, "I had - agenda'd with the Workforce Housing Summit
and I had spoken to Randy [Stevenson] and John [Baker] and we were going to do a
Presentation tonight, but because we had such a big Agenda, we put it off. But I think
that it isn't even necessary because this Workshop will do far greater - thank you for
doing that."
Lastly, Mayor Bush stated, "There was some discussion today about the action the
Commission took this morning on our Special Meeting; some conversations have gone on
with the County Commission over this. Mr. Blake, "Do you want to bring us up-to-

Deputy Mayor Blake remarked, "The Chairman has agreed to bring something up under
his Seat tomorrow if the City requests him to do so, and that would require a letter from
the Mayor - requesting the County to change the Urban Service Line, which will reduce,
actually the Rural Area.
If we do it correctly, which means I think obviously we have to reiterate the recent
Ordinance that we passed to agree to not annex into the eastern area. Secondly, to point
out that we also agreed through that Ordinance to embody that into our Comprehensive
Plan, that they believe that the County would in fact move the Rural Line - reduce the
Rural Area and move the Urban Service Line to parallel the Line that we set in place.
The significance of doing that is that action would mean that there remains no
governance question; which means, we don't have to spend the money - that the County
doesn't have to spend the money; that the issue that was that question, no longer exists.
The point becomes moot."
Deputy Mayor Blake added, "I would ask the Commission to do that."

REPORTS
608. Commission Seat Four - Sally McGinnis
Commissioner McGinnis stated, "It involves a new Football League in the City, it is
really primarily Winter Springs, but it is called Seminole County Youth Football League.
This is a group of parents and people who used to be with the Grizzlies. They have over
a hundred members now. They have their Board of Directors, they are incorporated, they
have done everything they are supposed to do, but they are not allowed to play - they are
not being given a place to play in the City - they are willing to pay to play."
With further comments, Commissioner McGinnis stated, "I would ask that we ask Chuck
[Pula] to come back to us - with some kind of rationale for this and why?" With
discussion, Commissioner McGinnis said, "Could you follow up on that Ron
[McLemore]?" Manager McLemore replied, "Yes."
