at a Fourth of July Fireworks Celebration - all the years that I have been here - I really
think that was the best coordinated event that we have had between the City; the
departments - especially the Police and Fire, Public Works, and Parks and Recreation, did
an outstanding job, in spite of the rain - all of the people did an outstanding job. And
they are to be commended and that is a reflection again on what you have done City
Manager, and all of the people involved. So I just wanted to say at least on behalf of
myself and most likely this Commission, that you have done an outstanding job."

II. PUBLIC INPUT
Mr. Gene Lein, 1173 East Winged Foot Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke on behalf
of the "People For Good Government" about members of the Tuscawilla Homeowner's
Association; the "TLBD" lawsuit; and former Members of the City Commission.
Commissioner Robert S. Miller arrived at 6:44 p.m.
Ms. Lori Bosse, 1004 Gator Lane, Winter Springs, Florida: remarked about problems
with her neighbors and the recent installation of a fence. Ms. Bosse also commented on
recent investigations; and a possible Variance.
Discussion followed on matters related to a suggested Variance. City Attorney Anthony
A. Garganese stated, "It is my understanding that if she is discussing a Variance request -
Variances have to go to the Board of Adjustment for a recommendation to the City
Commission and there is a procedure that needs to be complied with."
With discussion, Manager McLemore stated, "I would really like to bring this back to the
Commission at another Meeting with an Agenda Item and layout your alternatives."
Commissioner Miller added, "I would like to see it brought back as an Agenda Item."
Commissioner Martinez said to Manager McLemore, "Bring this back as an Agenda
Item." Mayor Partyka summarized the discussion to Ms. Bosse in that, "We are going to
put this on the Agenda for two (2) weeks from now - and hopefully the City Manager and
the City Attorney will come back with some various options and then maybe potentially
make a decision at that point."
Commissioner Michael S. Blake asked Ms. ]imette Cook, Code Enforcement Division
Manager, Community Development Department, "Is there a Code citation - Code Board
citation outstanding on this?" Ms. Cook responded, "Yes sir, we are holding it in
abeyance - giving Ms. Bosse the opportunity to seek a Variance or relief from the
Commission, but we do have it scheduled for the 16th - we can hold that in abeyance
however."
Ms. Pennie Roopnarine, 1161 Baltic Lane, Winter Springs, Florida: asked if an Agenda
Item related to her property could be heard earlier in the Meeting.
Mayor Partyka stated, "We will move that up to the front of the - Regular Agenda."
Mr. Myron Fouler, 208 Heatherwood Court, Winter Springs, Florida: thanked the
Tuscawilla Homeowner's Association for the meeting with Manager McLemore and
remarked about the proposed Arbor Committee.

Ms. Carol Fottler, 208 Heatherwood Court, Winter Springs, Florida: documents were
distributed and Ms. Fottler spoke of recent remarks made by Moti Khemlani and
explained some of the differences between "Concerned Citizens of Winter Springs" and
"People For Good Government."
Mr. Mike Schrimsher, 600 Colonial Drive, Suite 100, Orlando, Florida: pointed out that
the boundary between the Town Center and Commercial "Is incorrect on our property -
that it bisects our property on the south side of [State Road] 434 and results in it being
incorrect on the north side as well because of where it intersects." Mr. Schrimsher noted
for the record that regarding the proposed Ordinance 2002-07, that "Mini-storage" was
not included in this Ordinance, and commented on retail.
Ms. Sharon Tackaberry, 634 Cheoy Lee Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: stated that due
to vacation, she had been unable to provide Commissioner McLeod with "The material
that he needed to see if he could get a better quote for a survey." Ms. Tackaberry then
advised the Commission that she had spoken with Ms. Sandy Bierly and that "She would
see what she could do also to help us." Ms. Tackaberry then requested additional time.
Further, Ms. Tackaberry stated that flo'oding from the "Detention" pond has spilled mud
into the last 2 Yi lots.
Mayor Partyka said to Manager McLemore, "You will check into the mud issue?"
Manager McLemore stated, "I will. I suspect most of it is coming off the land that has
been cleared but we will certainly check it."
Mr. Mervin Warner, 673 Keuka Court, Winter Springs, Florida: remarked about Liens,
and that the Code Enforcement Board recently made a decision regarding Liens, and
stated that "We did not have enough information to make a good decision as to what a
reduction would be." Mr. Werner also asked about the "TLBD" project and inquired
"When is it going to be finished?" Additionally, Mr. Werner commented on poor quality
sod that was laid and asked if this was proper.
Mr. Moti Khemlani, 605 Morgan Street, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke on the removal
of Board/Committee Members; the recent removal of a Board Member from one of the
City's Advisory Committees; and remarked about the number of meetings that the
Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advisory Committee had held.
Discussion ensued on the removal of Advisory Board and Committee Members and a
recent Memorandum regarding five (5) individuals who due to absences which exceeded
the permitted limit, are no longer legally eligible to serve on the respective
Boards/Committees.
Regarding this matter, Commissioner Martinez stated, "At the last meeting we went
down the line from Seat One all the way down to Seat Five and we made appointments. I
appointed or reappointed Ms. Louise Allen - it doesn't appear in the Minutes. I recall it
specifically because it was the only person I had listed on there that had to be appointed.

It does not appear in the Minutes. Second of all, there is a conflict between the
Ordinance, the Resolution, and the old Ordinance." Commissioner Martinez further
stated that regarding the conflicts that "We need to straighten that out before we start
exercising this right to - dismiss people from the Boards because they have missed three
(3) or five (5) meetings in a year."
Deputy Mayor Cindy Gennell then stated, "There is a conflict. I think we need to ask the
City Manager, City Attorney to bring it back to us and to get these different requirements
to agree with one another. This is craziness to have Boards saying different things."
Tape I/Side B
Discussion ensued on a recent Advisory Committee Member who had been removed
from further service, Attorney Garganese stated, "I will be happy to look at those other
five (5) with the City Clerk." Manager McLemore added, "It is true that you have got
two (2) different Ordinances that appear to be in conflict with each other, and the only
way to solve - that issue is you read them together and you take the one that is most
stringent. In order to put all of that together, we would have to go back and amend all
those Ordinances - that provide for situations or are different from all the others; and
some are just unique and have unique situations, therefore it may not be easy to give one
rule that fits all."
Mayor Partyka stated, "Let's give a chance for Anthony to look at this and see what the
rules say, what his suggestions are - and some issues I think came up, so let's see what he
comes back with and bring this up maybe at the next Agenda."
Attorney Garganese stated, "There are two (2) issues - one will be the five (5) individuals
that are in the sheet that the City Clerk passed out. The other issue is overall, the
structure that you - currently have in place for Board Member attendance requirements.
Two (2) different issues. The new Ordinance that you have in place is in addition to and
supplemental to any other requirements that you may have for specific Boards and you
read everything together and the more stringent will apply." Furthermore, Attorney
Garganese said, "So if you want me to go back and not only look at those five (5) - and if
you want me to look at the whole Board structure again, I would be happy to do that, I
just need some direction."
Commissioner Martinez suggested, "I do no not think that we should be looking at
anything in the past. I think we should draft something for the future and start applying it
from that time on - from the time it is approved; and I am requesting the City Manager
bring us something back, an Agenda Item for the next Meeting."
Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "If you will take it in the direction of a Board that meets as
"TLBD" [Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advisory Committee] was
there for a long time, weekly - and a couple of the other Boards - the short Boards met
weekly in order to knock out some of the work we had wanted them to do. Those are
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING - JULY 8, 2002
PAGE 5 OF 32
going to need one criteria, whereas the ones that meet monthly or quarterly are going to
need other standards, and I think if we put it all in one document that addresses all of
them, I don't think it is that impossible to do - and if we have to undo some things that
are currently existing - okay, that is what it takes to straighten it out."
With further discussion about Ordinance 2001-49, Attorney Garganese pointed o.ut that
"When you look at the attendance requirement, it says unless otherwise provided by City
Charter or elsewhere in the City Code. There are minimum attendance requirements that
are set forth, and those minimum attendance requirements are supplemental and in
addition to any other attendance requirements that may apply specifically to a Board."
Attorney Garganese then stated, "Given some of the confusion of the last couple of
weeks regarding the application of this Ordinance, why don't I go back, and there are a
handful, six (6) or seven (7) Ordinance provisions regarding specific Boards and let's
take them out of the Code and repeal them expressly and we will have the attendance and
absence requirements just set forth only in this Ordinance - and it will give you an
opportunity to look at those requirements."
Commissioner Blake inquired, "Would you craft a new Ordinance, not this Ordinance,
but a new Ordinance that would repeal those provisions but also could potentially have
some discussion of attendance requirements at Boards that may not be based on strict
meeting measurements but perhaps a percentage of absences or something like that,
because it is not the same if you serve on - for instance the Board of Adjustment which
might meet once a quarter, maybe twice a quarter if things are busy, versus say for
instance, the Tuscawilla Board [Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advisory
Committee] that Mr. Khemlani mentioned that I know has met probably thirty (30) times
in the last year, if not more. The same strict measurement or type of measurement is
probably not proper for both - so if we do bring back any Ordinance, I think we should
give some consideration to that issue."
Mayor Partyka asked, "Are we all in agreement to just bring back the Agenda Item with
some kind of comments from everybody? Now, in lieu of that, the current Ordinances
are in effect, is that correct?" Attorney Garganese stated, "That is correct." Mayor
Partyka added, "So we just have to live with what it is now." Attorney Garganese then
advised the Commission, "Nothing prohibits this Commission from reappointing
somebody that is automatically removed under these conditions - they obviously have to
fill out the appropriate application, and meet the residency requirements, and the
background check requirements."
Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "Anthony had asked for direction so I am bringing these
things forward on this issue. There was an understanding among some of the
Commissioners and maybe some of the public at one time, that that was so many
absences - if they were unexcused and all, and then there came the conversation of well,
there is nothing in there that spells out excused, what is excused, what is not excused."
Deputy Mayor Gennell inquired, "Are we going to have a provision for excused, and if
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS

we are, what is it going to be, or if we are not going to have it?" Furthermore, Deputy
Mayor Gennell stated, "I don't think it is spelled out, and I think if we are going to have
it - it needs to be."
City Clerk Andrea Lorenzo-Luaces inquired, "Regarding the Memorandum, do you wish
those five (5) individuals - for it to be held in abeyance until something comes back?"
Mayor Partyka stated, "You can't, it is an Ordinance. You can't, whatever it is, it is. But
this is what precipitated this discussion, so hopefully by next Agenda we will have
everything worked out. And, the point was made by Mr. Garganese that if any
Commissioner wishes to reappoint those people, they can do it today."

C. Office Of The Mayor
Requesting The Commission To Discuss Concerns He Has With Amendments To
Ordinance 2002-13 Which Was Approved By The Commission On May 13, 2002
Regarding Dumpsters Located Within The City Of Winter Springs.
With discussion, Manager McLemore stated, "Instead of me having to deal with these
people and not know what to tell them, I would rather review these sights and come to
you and say you know, here are the issues we are going to face on these various sights -
now from a policy perspective, how do I deal with them?" Furthermore, Manager
McLemore said, "I would rather take the time and look at all these and pull out of that the
ones that are going to be problematic and have some way that we all understand that we
are going to deal with those issues."
Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "So we have fifteen 15 months for these people to come
into compliance, and how many existing dumpsters do we have?" Manager McLemore
responded, "250, somewhere in that range." Deputy Mayor Gennell then said, "And the
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION

PAGE 7 OF 32
majority of them are going to be able to come into compliance one way or another. So
that leaves us a manageable number in my opinion for you to bring back to us and say,
here are the ones that that is not feasible - and some of those I think we can change their
method of trash pickup too. I would encourage you to bring back the problematic ones
and leave the Ordinance as it is and let it go, and just bring us back just the problematic
ones." Manager McLemore said, "That's basically what we had intended to do."
Commissioner Miller addressed the Commission and showed some photographs of
offensive dumpsters. Commissioner Miller then stated, "I think the Staff needs to get
back to us as soon as possible with a solution to solve this problem and if it means the
City should do it, then I think we ought to build the things around this street to take care
of this problem. I don't think we should allow this to go on. Either that or we get on the
landowners, property owners and force them to do something. But not in 180 days, not in
360 days - soon!"
Discussion.
Mayor Partyka stated, "The City Manager is saying that they could move on this quickly,
right now." Commissioner David W. McLeod said to Manager McLemore, "I don't
believe Mr. McLemore that we are in the design business or the engineering business to
decide on the site with the people of a 135 different sites and take on the responsibility to
determine where their dumpsters are going to be; the direction that is going to be
approached from; or the size of their dumpsters. That is why you have Engineers and
Architects. I think you need to send the 130-some people a copy of the Ordinance so that
they understand it and also, I didn't notice it was in the newsletter, but I think - making
them aware of their obligation is your obligation."
Commissioner Martinez stated, "I think the Ordinance should cover it. If it doesn't, the
fact that those dumpsters are required by the Health Department to be covered, and if
they are not covered, somebody here should be taking some action." Deputy Mayor
Gennell spoke of a third option, such as "For Cory Lane - change their method of pick-
up."
Mayor Partyka summarized, "At this point in time, no action is required, I just brought up
these issues, and that is where they stand."

Mr. John Baker, AICP, Current Planning Coordinator, Community Development
Department, in introductory statements stated, "There is one discrepancy in the Staff
Report - it said that we had received the Performance Bond. We received it at about 6:30
this evening - the Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit from the applicant. The City
Attorney was given a copy of that this evening. Staff has not had a chance to review that
so our recommendation of approval is subject to Staffs and the City Attorney's review of
that for adequacy." Attorney Garganese added that "I will review it tomorrow just to
make sure it is in order."
Deputy Mayor Gennell inquired, "Is this the part of the Office Park that abuts where the
wall is not completed yet?" Mr. Baker stated, "This abuts the Oak Forest Unit 7
property." Deputy Mayor Gennell then stated, "The wall as I understand it was to go the
full length of those houses - the people who bought the property." Mr. Baker noted, "It is
to go the full length of the property, but I believe we looked at the survey of the property
this morning and there are some of those lots that extend beyond, in other words to the
west of the boundaries of the Tuskawilla Office Park." Deputy Mayor Gennell asked,
"What do they bound on?" Mr. Baker responded, "Another property." Deputy Mayor
Gennell then asked, "Then who did they buy it from? Didn't they buy it from these
people?" Mr. Baker stated, "No." Deputy Mayor Gennell then asked, "Who owns the
property behind the people behind the people who have no wall?" Mr. Baker replied, "I
am not sure but it is not part of the Tuskawilla Office Park property." Manager
McLemore pointed out that "They have extended the wall the full length of the property
that they own."
Mayor Partyka asked Ms. Sandy Bierly, "Does the wall cover the whole length of the
property in question?"
Ms. Sandy Bierly, Tuskawilla Office Park, Owner/Developer, L.L. C, 800 West State Road
426, Oviedo, Florida: stated, "The wall as was depicted on the engineering plans that
were approved by you shows it going to the retention pond." Manager McLemore asked
Ms. Bierly, "Was that because there is no development - for it to buffer?" Ms. Bierly
responded, "Right, because there is no construction beyond there."
Deputy Mayor Gennell then said, "My understanding at the time that we were providing
relief to these adjoining families was that the wall was going to go the length of the
property that was being developed - that they owned."
With discussion, Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "I would like to know if the rest of this
Commission understood that the wall was going to protect each and every one of those
fifteen (15) or however many there were property owners or just so many, and not the last
two (2) or three (3)?" Discussion.

Commissioner McLeod asked Attorney Garganese, "Does the Ordinance read that
between commercial and residential that you only need to run as far back, until you either
come to an obstruction of either wetlands or an obstruction - that you build a retention
pond and therefore you can put a retention pond between you and the residential
properties and that suffices?" Commissioner McLeod added, "I thought that if you had
commercial property and residential property, that you were responsible to run the wall
between the two (2)?" Attorney Garganese stated, "I would have to look at that."
Commissioner McLeod then said, "Would you mind doing that and inform us here
shortly." Further, Commissioner McLeod said, "I would just like to know what the true
intent of the Ordinance is."
Ms. Bierly stated, "This was not residential land when we obtained this permit, it was
agricultural." Commissioner McLeod inquired, "If it was agricultural - why did you
build the wall?" Ms. Bierly responded, "Because I was attempting to alleviate some of
the problems we were having, and some of the problems they were having was that there
were going to be buildings built and roads built and so we agreed to build the wall." Ms.
Bierly added, "I am saying the property to the south of us."

Commissioner Blake asked Attorney Garganese, "Is there anything in that Developer's
Agreement that locates the detention pond as is stated?" Attorney Garganese stated, "No,
it doesn't - it is just per the plans that were approved." Commissioner Blake then
inquired about the site plan and said, "How do we know that any plan we have that there
is a detention pond on it, if one wasn't pre-existing on the property; that that's the plan
that was ultimately was constructed?" Furthermore, Commissioner Blake said, "If we are
going to rely on the Developer's Agreement, what I am suggesting is that the features that
we are utilizing to measure where the wall should end, did not exist, could not have
existed, and there was no proof planned for where they would have existed. How do we
know where the end of the wall would have been?"
\
Commissioner Blake next asked, "How far is it from the end of construction to the end of
the wall - when I say construction, I am talking about vertical elevations, improvements."
With the use of a scale, Mr. Baker stated the length was "280 feet." Commissioner Blake
then stated, "So the wall extend approximately 280 feet - to the west of - the western
boundary line of the last lot." Mr. Baker stated, "Yes sir."

B. Community Development Department
Presents A Request By Tuskawilla Office Park, LLC, To Allow A 15 Foot Wide
Temporary Construction Easement Over The 15 Foot Wide Upland Buffer
Adjacent To The Wetlands Abutting The North Side Of Tuskawilla Office Park
Commissioner Martinez inquired of Manager McLemore, "Who is going to be
responsible for overseeing this period of engagement - work period when they are going
to be invading the fifteen foot (15') wide upland buffer for purposes of being able to
work the site to make sure that heavy equipment and things like that over the wetlands or
the buffer itself is not damaged seriously?" Manager McLemore responded, 'We have a
person we could put in the field to make sure that your directions are complied with."
Commissioner Martinez added, "Can we do that?" Manager McLemore stated, "Sure."
Deputy Mayor Gennell then said, "This fifteen feet (15') upland buffer will not affect any
trees?" Mr. Baker stated, "There are trees in the buffer right now. We are
recommending that when they get through with the construction, they may have to go
into that buffer, that they - fully restore the site to the preexisting - before the
development started condition or better, with indigenous vegetation. If they do go into
the wetland beyond the buffer, they would still be subject to the penalties for that, and
they are aware of that." Deputy Mayor Gennell then asked, "The area that is to be
affected, fifteen foot (15') buffer area, - is it included in a tree survey?" Ms. Bierly
responded, "Yes it is."
Discussion ensued on the buffer and related penalties.
Commissioner Blake asked Ms. Bierly, "Would you object to putting $10,000.00 on
deposit in an account - that the City would hold during the construction period, in the
event that there was additional encroachment into the actual wetland area; in other words
across that fifteen feet (15') or in the event that there were any machinery or any other
prohibited activities taking place on there?" Manager McLemore suggested, "Wouldn't
that be subject to a 'Letter of Credit' that she has already put up?" Furthermore, Manager
McLemore asked, "Is that already in fact insured by a 'Letter of Credit?'" Attorney
Garganese stated, "The final language in the 'Letter of Credit' has not been approved yet.
We can incorporate it into the 'Letter of Credit' in the event that repairs need to be made
to the upland buffer and the developer doesn't make the repairs, we can certainly add that
into the 'Letter of Credit' where the City would be able to access the money."
Commissioner Blake explained he was not asking about repairs but "My question was
about the violation of what is agreed upon in the Agenda Item here which is that there be
no heavy machinery in there, there would be no further encroachment into the wetland
area. In the Agenda Item it states, 'Not machinery of fill material' - the encroachment
would not be of machinery or fill material, and my concern here is that we had some
assurances during the clearing of the lot, that the impacts would be mitigated for the
residences next door, and I have seen pictures and personally viewed pools that are full of

dirt. I have received phone calls from residents when they have had to replace the pool
pumps because the place while it was under clearing was not wetted down, so that they
had substantial dust and dirt flying into their pool screens and - I am concerned as to
whether or not the letter of the agreement would be upheld and that is why I am asking if
you would be willing to place, say $10,000.00 into an account with the City during that
timeframe, and in the event that there is a violation to the agreement, then you would
forfeit that $1O,000.00?" Ms. Bierly spoke of being over budget and said, "I would have
to speak to the builder who would ultimately be the one that would go into that area."
Commissioner Blake then stated, "That would be my request."
Discussion.

ATTORNEY GARGANESE THEN EXPLAINED THAT "IT IS A CODE
REQUIREMENT THAT THEY PROVIDE A BOND OR A 'LETTER OF
CREDIT' GUARANTEEING THAT CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE
MADE - AS SET FORTH ON THE FINAL ENGINEERING DRAWINGS, AND
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE COMMISSION WOULD LIKE TO ADD
- THE ISSUE REGARDING ENCROACHING ON THE UPLAND BUFFER,
THAT IF THERE ARE ANY DAMAGES - TO THAT TEN THOUSAND
DOLLAR ($10,000.00) AMOUNT, THEN THAT WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE
'LETTER OF CREDIT.'" DEPUTY MAYOR GENNELL ADDED, "...UP TO
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($10,000.00), I WANT THE LETTER OF CREDIT
TO INCLUDE COVERAGE FOR DAMAGES." ATTORNEY GARGANESE
THEN POINTED OUT THAT "THE LETTER OF CREDIT RIGHT NOW IS
GOING TO BE AT APPROXIMATELY $170,000.00, WHICH IS THE
ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE."
MS. BIERLY ADDED, "THAT LETTER OF CREDIT - WE WOULD LOOK TO
BE RELEASED IN LESS THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS, WHEN WE HAVE THE
INFRASTRUCTURE AND ALL THAT FINISHED; AND YET ALL THE
BUILDINGS COULD BE BUILT OVER THE NEXT TWO (2) YEARS."
DEPUTY MAYOR GENNELL SAID TO MS. BIERLY, "HOW LONG ARE
THEY ASKING TO REQUEST TO USE THE EASEMENT? THA T IS HOW
LONG THE CITY IS IN JEOPARDY FOR DAMAGE TO THE EASEMENT."
MS. BIERL Y THEN SAID, "YOU ARE ASKING FOR TEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS ($10,000.00) TO BE RETAINED, PERHAPS WE COULD - WHEN
THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS FINISHED THEN THE MAINTENANCE BOND
WHICH IS A TWO (2) YEAR, WHICH I WOULDN'T THINK IT WOULD TAKE
ANY LONGER THAN THAT, THEN PERHAPS WE COULD INCORPORATE
IT INTO A MAINTENANCE BOND, IF I CAN GET THE BONDING COMPANY
TO GO ALONG WITH THAT."
DEPUTY MAYOR GENNELL REITIERATED HER AMENDMENT TO THE
MOTION AS "TO INCLUDE THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE IN THE
LETTER OF CREDIT AS BEING AUTHORED AT THIS MOMENT BY THE
CITY ATTORNEY..." COMMISSIONER MILLER ADDED, "...FOR TEN
THOUSAND ($10,000.00) DOLLARS..."

Attorney Garganese stated for the record, "The Commission just approved the
encroachment - there is a fifteen foot (15') upland buffer requirement. My understanding
of this letter is they are asking just to encroach five feet (5') within that fifteen foot (15')
upland buffer - plus or minus five feet (5'), but not to encroach on the entire upland
buffer, is my reading on it." Mayor Partyka added, "I think this thing has been handled,
wherever they encroach within the fifteen feet (15') buffer."
Brief discussion followed on how the Code is applicable. Commissioner Blake said, "Do
we have the ability to change the Code of Ordinances on a whim every time somebody
comes up and asks for something?"
Tape 2/Side B
Commissioner Martinez stated, "Point of Order" and spoke of the Item already being
approved.
Commissioner Blake asked, "Do we as a Commission have the ability to vary from our
stated Code of Ordinances, on a case by case basis, as people come up here and ask to be
relieved of having to comply with the law?" Commissioner Blake then said, "I am quite
concerned that this process was not followed in this case, and this is a Code provision
that is in our Winter Springs Code of Ordinances, that requires fines for violations of it."
Commissioner Blake added, "I am really concerned about the procedure aspect of it and
whether or not we have the ability to do so? I will leave the question Mayor, and we can
certainly come back to it." Furthermore, Commissioner Blake then said, "My question
has been posed, and I would like to have an answer to it at some point in time. I have a
real concern about procedures." Mayor Partyka added, "You could do that City Manager,
just do that - from a curiosity basis, and see what the process is."

hours of operation for certain businesses like alcohol establishments, adult entertainment
establishments, and if you have a particular use you want us to further look at. .." Deputy
Mayor Gennell stated, "...1 am speaking specifically of the convenience store operations
immediately abutting residential areas." Attorney Garganese stated, "That is not
specifically addressed in this Ordinance." Deputy Mayor Gennell then said, "Well if that
use is included in here, and we are gearing this to be abutting residential neighborhoods,
then I think we need to look at the twenty-four (24) hour aspect of the operation, that
comes in with car washes or whatever." Attorney Garganese suggested, "That is
something we can go back and look at as a supplemental Zoning District Regulation."

Mr. Dennis Waldrop, Meter Services Division Manager, Finance Department, addressed
the City Commission and explained some of the related problems.
Deputy Mayor Gennell inquired, "A few weeks ago, Commissioner Blake requested and I
also wanted to know exactly what the City's position was on parking on these streets as it
relates to lawn maintenance vehicles, and so forth - and I don't know that we have gotten
that information back, but this appears to prohibit the parking of any service vehicles in
front of or on sidewalks - of any house."
With further discussion, Deputy Mayor Gennell said "I think the question was asked -
what are the legal parking restrictions for these type of service vehicles that come to
people's houses, and I think it just needs to be identified while it is right here in front of
us - it is illegal for any of it, UPS, if we leave it as it is. I am not suggesting we change it
tonight, but I am pointing out this is it."
Commissioner Miller stated, "Point of Order" and asked about relevancy.
Discussion followed on threatening situations regarding the reading of meters.
Discussion continued with Chief of Police Daniel J. Kerr regarding parking problems.
