Mr. Warner also asked about "Pet Rescue" issue. Attorney Garganese explained that he
is currently working on the 'Pet Rescue' matter, and that will be coming back at a future
meeting." Commissioner Michael S. Blake also said that "It was that discussion during
the 'Pet Rescue' discussion that we discussed the Ordinance, whether or not we could
enforce the Ordinance, that in fact is when they placed the County's Ordinance that
we've adopted as our own in the book here, but we did have a discussion about - trying
to find out what we can do to put some teeth into the Ordinance in terms of enforcement,
and I thought we were working on that also. And if we're not, then we need to."
Commissioner Edward Martinez, Jr. also agreed with this. Attorney Garganese advised
members of the Commission that he should be bringing this matter back during the month
of June.
Mr. Warner also spoke of problems with a neighbor. Commissioner Martinez added,
"Mayor, I think he is referring to the lady on Gator Lane with the multiple signs,
obnoxious signs, and I think what has to be done; you have to look at the Sign Ordinance
and find out if this lady is in compliance by placing twenty (20) different signs across her
lawn facing the neighbor, or not, so we can take whatever steps are necessary."
Ms. Jimette Cook, Code Enforcement Division Manager, addressed the Commission and

VII. REGULAR (NEW ITEMS FOR THIS AGENDA)
REGULAR
E. City Attorney
Requests The City Commission Consider Approving The Stipulated Settlement
Agreement With Terry Scarlata And The Florida Department Of Community
Affairs Which Would Require The City Commission To Consider Approving
Ordinance 2001-39 Amending Winter Springs Code Of Ordinances Chapter 9 By
Establishing A Concurrency Management Procedure For Certain Public Facilities.
Attorney Garganese introduced this Item by explaining that "In 1999, the City of Winter
Springs adopted a Comprehensive Plan Amendment which created the Greeneway
Interchange District. Ms. Scarlata, as an interested party challenged the adoption of that
Amendment. That Amendment, to refresh your recollection, was found in compliance by
the Florida Department of Community Affairs. After Ms. Scarlata challenged the
Amendment, we sat down and discussed her challenge, and she was agreeable to settle
the matter and not bring it to a Hearing. As part of the settlement, she wants the City
Commission to consider the adoption of a Concurrency Management Ordinance which is
attached to the Draft Settlement Agreement."
Commissioner Martinez asked "If we were found to be in compliance by DCA - why do
we have to enter into a - separate agreement to satisfy individuals?" Commissioner
Martinez further stated, "I was told as a Commissioner that what the City was doing was
satisfactory and because of the emphasis of one citizen on the one issue, we are willing
and ready to - enter into an agreement?" Attorney Garganese responded that his opinion
remains the same.
Discussion.
Commissioner Blake spoke of residential developments; and regarding the shape of the
minimum required half-acre inquired, "Is there any requirement of what shape that half-
acre has to be?" Attorney Garganese responded that it should be "functiona1."
Commissioner Blake then asked, "Is that defined in here?" Commissioner Blake added
that he hoped it would be included.

Commissioner Martinez asked "If we do not approve the agreement, the Ordinance goes
away? Is that what you're saying, they don't stand alone, or can we do the usual
procedure that we do in the City and provide the Commission and the public with an
Ordinance that will restructure the section in question, the same as we have in the past?"
Attorney Garganese stated, "The Ordinance will be adopted just like an other Ordinance."
Attorney Garganese further stated, "You don't have to go forward with the Ordinance if
you don't approve the agreement - but you can." Commissioner Martinez added, "That's
what I'm saying."
Further discussion.
Page eight (8) of the proposed Ordinance (2001-39) was read and Deputy Mayor David
W. McLeod asked, "What is that dollar value, in proportion to the population - or to the
acreage?" Attorney Garganese stated, "That would be established by the City
Commission by Resolution, at a later date, using some methodology."
Deputy Mayor McLeod then asked, "Why would you - go forward with - an Ordinance,
but then you have no guidelines set as how the two come together as a dollar figure?"
Attorney Garganese suggested that three hundred dollars ($300.00) per dwelling unit,
was designated on the Avery Park plan, "As a park contribution," Further discussion.
Deputy Mayor McLeod then suggested, "Rather than send this to the Development
Review Committee to make that decision, those guidelines ought to be laid out so that the
Committee doesn't have to try to decipher the cut-off." Attorney Garganese agreed and
thought this was an excellent idea and further suggested that a matrix be designed.
Further discussion ensued on minimum acreage and the suggested three hundred dollars
($300.00) per unit. Mr. Ronald W. McLemore, City Manager stated that "I need to verify
all that."
Commissioner Blake spoke about community parks; "Fees in lieu of;" and Impact Fees.
Regarding Impact Fees, Commissioner Blake asked "Shouldn't those monies go into a
separate account, a separate fund that is restrictive in its use to provide additional park or
recreational capacity?" Attorney Garganese responded, "Well, we could play around
with the language. The Ordinance currently says, 'Any and all such fees collected shall
be allocated and appropriated to the City's recreation budget to be expended' for public
recreational purposes and priorities shall be given to expend such funds to acquire
parkland." Commissioner Blake added, "Which is exactly what I read, and my feeling on
that is, that that probably doesn't restrict the funds enough to prevent a challenge on
Impact Fee collection and expenditures. But anyway, that's something I think you should
look at." Attorney Garganese added, "We certainly can type the language up."
Further discussion.

MAYOR McLEOD. DISCUSSION. COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ SAID TO
ATTORNEY GARGANESE, "YOU SAID THAT YOU ARE RECOMMENDING
WE APPROVE THIS AGREEMENT, FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO
SATISFY - CHALLENGE WITH DCA, BECAUSE I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER
REASON FOR APPROVING THIS AGREEMENT OTHER THAN THAT.
WOULD I BE CORRECT?" ATTORNEY GARGANESE SAID, "TO SETTLE
MS. SCARLATA'S CHALLENGE." COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ FURTHER
STATED, "I HATE TO HAVE TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH
INDIVIDUALS - DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE ARE SETTING A
PRECEDENT HERE, THAT I CANNOT FORETELL WHERE IT WILL TAKE
US IN THE FUTURE, BUT I SEE IT AS A DANGEROUS SIGN, ESPECIALLY
WHEN WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME UP WITH AN
ORDINANCE THAT WOULD PROVIDE ALL THE SAFEGUARDS THAT YOU
ARE LOOKING FOR AND TO WHICH WILL BE CHALLENGED BY THE
OTHER PARTY TO THE AGREEMENT, IF IT CAME TO A CHALLENGE OR
IF SHE WASN'T SATISFIED. BUT ONCE WE SIGN THIS AGREEMENT, WE
ARE BOUND BY IT. CORRECT?" ATTORNEY GARGANESE STATED,
"THAT'S CORRECT." COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ FURTHER ADDED, "I
DON'T THINK WE NEED A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT TO BIND US TO
ANYTHING."

Requests The City Commission Considers Information Re!!ardin!! Arbor Permits.
Ms. Cook, Code Enforcement Division Manager introduced this Agenda Item and spoke
of possible hardship cases, but recommended that the "Arbor Ordinance stand as it is."
Commissioner Martinez spoke of hardship clause and inquired, "Didn't we request at the
time this came up, that Staff bring something back to us, in that direction?" Ms. Cook
explained that "What Staff recommends, that if the Commission feels like there may be a
situation where a hardship exists, in order to enact that, I believe we have to amend the
Ordinance. I haven't got that direction from you, but certainly, if you direct us to do that,
we can work that in."

Further discussion ensued on problems resulting from trees being too close to structures
and endangering those buildings. Deputy Mayor McLeod then said, "Mr. Manager,
again, I still think that portion of our Ordinance should be changed to cover those
situations. The same thing I've asked for all along." With discussion, Manager
McLemore suggested setting "minimum distance requirements." Deputy Mayor McLeod
then made the suggestion, that "At the present time you've got two things. One is, you
pay for a permit to take it down. Two then, you have the option to replace it or pay extra
to put it in the tree bank. I would say that a tree within any certain distance of the house,
would need to come down for protection of the house, I would not oppose the fact that
that individual pay for the tree bank or replant a tree. I would be opposed to paying for
the permit to take it down, the inspection fee." Manager McLemore agreed that this was
a great idea.
"I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WlE AMEND THE ARBOR
ORDINANCE TO BRING BACK THE CHANGES SUGGESTED BY DEPUTY

Deputy Mayor McLeod spoke about his previous service on the Planning and Zoning
Board/Local Planning Agency and stated his concerns with not having ample time to read
all of the involved documents. Deputy Mayor McLeod emphatically asked that this
matter be handled in a better way, and in a very timely manner. Commissioner Martinez
and Commissioner Blake agreed with Deputy Mayor McLeod's comments and concerns.
Commissioner Blake stated, "I would certainly encourage Staff to get us what you can,
when you can, and perhaps as we're looking toward the budget cycle, with some of the
Workshops we have, we ought to be looking at setting up a few Workshops to review
some ofthese revisions as well, at the same time, and to go forward with it.

Regarding the re-write, Ms. Crowe explained that "We'll definitely start with the 'Goals,
Objectives and Policies' that you have now, and determine which ones are outdated, and
which ones do we think we should keep, and then start from that; but all the data analysis
is from 1990 and it's so old at this point that, what we will be using for our benefit, is that
we do have CPH's work on the Traffic Circulation Element, but at this time, it's required
to be a Transportation Element, because the State Statutes have changed so we'll be
incorporating in mass transit and the buses and the stuff of that nature but - we'll greatly
reduce that for coordination purposes. We're just making sure it's consistent with what
else we're writing." Deputy Mayor McLeod again spoke of the "Goals and Objectives"
and Ms. Crowe stated that "That element will be a strike-though and underline."

While referring to a Memorandum which outlined some proposed changes, Manager
McLemore reviewed several details of this proposed "Development Agreement which
precedes the Site Plan approval." Manager McLemore then spoke of the "Tree
Replacement Plan, 6J; that that detail has been left to another day, because of a number of
issues we've been trying to work out with the developer in a situation where there is due,
I think, some credit for the fact that they are dedicating forever to the public, a large
number of trees and acreage. Arid, in a literal review of the Tree Ordinance, there are a
huge number of trees here involved, and so we want to go through and work that out
separately and bring that back to you for approval, separately."
