PUBLIC HEARINGS AGENDA PUBLIC HEARINGS 400. Community Development Department Requests The City Commission Hold A Public Hearing For Aesthetic Review Of The Barclay Woods Town House Units. Mr. Baker introduced this Agenda Item. Commissioner McGinnis suggested that "When you do your Covenants, Restrictions, and Conditions, that you would consider a Covenant that would require garage doors to be kept shut when they are not in use." Mr. John Reny, 641 North Maitland Avenue, Maitland, Florida: stated, "Sure, absolutely, we are formulating those." Discussion ensued on renderings for the back elevations of a couple of buildings being discussed, and Commissioner Blake said, "You are referring to a wall. As I recall, the drawing I have seen, didn't actually have a wall." Mr. Reny stated, "I apologize. It has columns and a fence and landscaping." Discussion. Tape I/Side B With further discussion, Commissioner Blake suggested, "Even if maybe there is some way to - wall in, to some extent, each of the back patio areas for each of these properties. That might go a long way to actually provide some screening." Additionally, Commissioner Blake said, "We really need something that is more solid and opaque here; maybe the answer is changing the wall; changing it [rom being that pillar with open fencing - to something that has brick or stone in it, or is more opaque." Manager McLemore said, "What appears to be offensive even to me, is again the glass doors on the back. My question would be, can that be reconfigured to look more like the front entrance to the building, rather than these wide glass doors - to make it look like a front porch, rather than a back porch?" CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 8, 2004 PAGE 9 OF 18 Deputy Mayor Miller said, "I share Commissioner Blake's concern. I think a wall would be one solution." Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Miller suggested, "I am referring to lattice on the screen enclosures, that way, whatever they have got inside, you really can't see it when you drive by." Mr. Reny said, "Can I bring you back details on that screen enclosure?" Deputy Mayor Miller stated, "I would go along with a good screen enclosure that you can't see into it real easily, like maybe with lattice facing the street, or even a lattice wall that has to be put so far from the screen." Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Miller noted, "This is not in place of the brick wall I am referring to, but this would be something where the people driving by, would not be able to see the screen enclosure, because there is some kind of a privacy wall." With further discussion, Commissioner McGinnis remarked, "I do not like a wall - we are becoming a community of walls and gates." Mayor Bush opened the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item. Mr. Anthony Marasco, 1311 Deer Run Drive, Winter Springs, Florida: thought a benn might help this particular dilemma. Mr. Byron GUtz 1001 Troon Trace, Winter Springs, Florida: suggested a wall was necessary; thought that a screen enclosure around the patio should be mandatory; and preferred French doors in lieu of screen doors. Mayor Bush closed the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item. Manager McLemore noted, "If these were French doors in the back, it would totally give you another look. The second thing would be if there was some type of - bay window type concept, would give you a totally different look. But the problem is not solvable as long as you have sliding glass doors, in my opinion." Commissioner Donald A. Gilmore spoke of problems with fences and suggested that "You really need to just go ahead and put all the screens on now." Mr. Reny advised the City Commission, "French doors, I could certainly change it to French doors. If that is more appealing, I can change those to French doors, that is a non- issue for me." Speaking further, Mr. Reny noted the fence material and said, "There is a PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) fence which we have real good luck with, that separates the patios and that's what that back screen material would be. Also, it is maintenance free." Mr. Reny added, "My fence around - that would be the west side - that is aluminum - and in my front architecture. I am talking about just the fence - the little drawing that I drew, behind the patios." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS . MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 8, 2004 PAGE 10 OF 18 Deputy Mayor Miller suggested, "If you put the French doors in, just mandate on that building, those two (2) buildings facing the street, there will be no screen enclosures." Mr. Reny said, "I guess I could do that in my Covenants. I would have to check with our Attorney who is drawing them; if that is the case, I would do that." Manager McLemore noted, "That would be a good solution." With further discussion on the presented renderings, Commissioner Blake suggested, "See how you have - the roof area coming out over the door entryway, going in - if something like that could exist on a French door along the back side - I think that would provide kind of a portico - an architectural element that makes it look other than what we are seeing currently." Manager McLemore added, "Some detailing." Mayor Bush next said, "I think the Commission has made their thoughts and wishes clear here and - just needs time now to work with the [City] Manager and bring it back again." Commissioner Blake added, "As the Mayor said, everybody is on board with this. I think we have heard back from the - Manager to take the Commission's comments into consideration and bring back the right solution." Manager McLemore asked, "Do you want us to come back to you with it?" Commissioner Blake said, "Please." Deputy Mayor Miller said, "I do." Commissioner McGinnis noted, "Yes." Mr. Reny then mentioned that "I have an Oviedo address and a City of Winter Springs property." Mayor Bush suggested, "Talk to the Postmaster." Commissioner Blake added, "The Postmaster is the one that controls that." Mr. Reny then said, "I will make an appointment next week with you." Then, Mr. Reny explained, "I am going to add French doors, and I am going to work on some detail above those French doors on those three (3) center units." Mayor Bush added, "I think showing your landscaping in more detail would be helpful too." Mr. Reny added, "Okay. I'll try to get my landscaping overlaid onto my plans." REGULAR AGENDA REGULAR 500.

Currently, they have the concrete poles and the Cobra fixtures and they would like to upgrade to fixtures somewhat similar to what exists in the Town Center.

And, I would like to ask you to meet with Mr. McCoy and start working out the details of what needs to be done in order to first off, determine whether or not the community truly desires this; and then secondly, if it does, to start moving in that direction and get the District put in place, if that is what we need."
