utilization of the space that there is." Mayor Bush added, "You are asking the Manager
to look into this."
Commissioner Blake said, "I agree with the first part of Commissioner McGinnis'
comments" and added, "Ron [McLemore], I am sure that you and your Staff can do some
sort of 'Utilization Study' to determine whether or not we need to expand it, and if so,
how. But, first, "I would like to see ways that we can more efficiently and effectively use
the space that we currently have over there." Manager McLemore also mentioned that
there is also an issue with the potential capacity for parking at the Senior Citizen's
Center.
Mayor Bush summarized that "Everyone is in agreement with your original
recommendation that the Manager look into the use of this facility to determine if it can
be better utilized." Commissioner Miller added, "We had a conversation a couple of
weeks back about the possibility of putting some kind of a facility into Central Winds
Park which would serve a purpose for a Civic Center." Commissioner Miller then
suggested, "It might be possible to expand the Senior Citizen's Center into the existing
facility that we already have there, if we are going to put something on our Itinerary for

would serve as a Civic Center."

"But if the date is a Saturday or a Sunday, then what happens - longer or shorter..."
Attorney Garganese stated, "...It is going to be shorter, it is excluding Saturdays and
Sundays."
For further clarification, Attorney Garganese explained, "It excludes Saturday and
Sunday, so if the - last Qualifying Day falls on a Saturday, then the day that all the
Qualifying Papers need to be in, will be no later than - that Friday before the Saturday."
Commissioner Blake then asked, "And if it is Sunday?" Attorney Garganese responded,
"Still on Friday - we're excluding in the count, Saturdays and Sundays."
Further discussion ensued on the language in the Ordinance, and Attorney Garganese
stated, "If you want to add some clarifying language, I would be happy to do that."
Commissioner Gilmore pointed out, "If you read this thing as it is written, somebody
could come up conceivably saying, 'Well they are excluding Saturdays and Sundays in
that seventy-one (71) days - all Saturdays and Sundays." Attorney Garganese explained,

spaces located in this area which will provide one (1) space per 300 square feet, which is

Attorney Garganese began the discussion of this Agenda Item. Much discussion ensued
regarding the Variance Request.
Attorney Garganese stated, "It is my opinion that it would be perfectly within the
Commission's right to approve this Request, with a couple of conditions. Condition one
would be that the Homeowner's Association Architectural Review Committee approve
the Variance Request that the Applicant is asking for, given the language that is currently
in their Declarations and Covenants. Number two, the Easement that is in question
belongs to the Homeowner's Association, therefore the Homeowner's Association would
have to vacate that portion of the Easement that the Applicant needs in order to do this
construction. With the one caveat, this Easement was obviously approved during Site
Plan Review Process by the City, so the City would need to ensure that their would be no
adverse consequence to abandoning or vacating that portion of the Stormwater Easement,
I believe.

And third, the Applicant would have to comply with all local and Florida Building Code
requirements and Land Development requirements that are applicable to the renovation
project or expansion project. At issue, one particular requirement that was mentioned at
the last Meeting is just an example of the type of technical building requirement they
would have to come into compliance with and that is the 'Angle of Repose' requirement
for digging ditches and pouring foundations."
Commissioner Blake asked of Attorney Garganese, "Is this a Variance?" Attorney
Garganese replied, "Technically, it is not a Variance as specifically set forth in the City
Code." Discussion.
Attorney Garg~ese further stated, "This is not a Variance, in my opinion under that
provision of the Code that you are referring to."
"I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ALLOW THE HOMEOWNERS TO PROCEED
BASED ON ANY RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES GIVEN TO THEM BY
THEIR DEED RESTRICTIONS AND COVENANTS WHERE THEY LIVE
PROVIDED THEY RECEIVE ALL THE APPROPRIATE APPROVALS AND
MEET ALL THE OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR ADDITION THAT
THE ATTORNEY HAS ENUMERATED EARLIER THIS EVENING AND IN
ADDITION THAT THIS WAS NOT IN FACT A VARIANCE THAT THE
HOMEOWNER BE REFUNDED BACK THEIR APPLICATION FEE FOR A
VARIANCE OF FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500.00)." MOTION BY
COMMISSIONER BLAKE. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MILLER.

REGARDING THE PROCESS UNDERGONE BY THE APPLICANT,

YEARS, I HAVE BEEN UP HERE ASKING FOR A RE- WRITE OF THIS
SECTION OF THE ORDINANCE WHICH WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED THIS

With discussion, Commissioner Miller spoke for the record that that he would like to see
large trees planted for this project.
Mr. Michael Mingea, Arborist/Environmental Inspector, Community Development
Department spoke on the growth of trees. With discussion, Commissioner Miller then
stated, "This permeable concrete that I have seen, which is being used elsewhere in the
State, when it is put around a tree that is put in the middle of an island which is six feet
(6') wide, and then you put - this permeable concrete maybe with about four (4) or five
(5) parking spaces either side of the island, whatever rain, water falls on that surface,
immediately goes down through the concrete - you can put a garden hose down on it - it
will slow down with time and if you have got engine oil on it or if you get certain amount
of dust and dirt - it will continue to go through it for its life, thereby allowing th~ tree to
put out roots that are not constrained by the island." Commissioner Miller added, "I
would like to see serious thought given to that, because I would like see large trees in
there that will grow."
Commissioner McGinnis inquired, "Is there a proposal to install irrigation in the parking
lot? There is. Okay."
Discussion ensued on the Developer's Agreement.
Mr. Kuldeep Aggarwal, Aggarwal Pension Trust Fund, 1055 Edmiston Place, Longwood,
Florida: commented to Attorney Garganese that his Attorney had returned the
Developer's Agreement with proposed changes to reduce the Impact Fees.
Attorney Garganese spoke for the record on creative ways to take care of the issues of
concern.
Mr. Aggarwal noted that they would "Work with the City regarding the signage - and I
agree with the Commissioner's here that that sign is very ugly. We in fact - are trying to
redo the sign by - putting in planters. We would completely remove that sign."
With discussion on the Impact Fees, Manager McLemore said to Mr. Aggarwal, "You
have to amend that Plans and show it as 'Retail.' We can't have it on a plan showing
'Restaurant' and then have an Impact Fee for 'Retail'. So you have got to amend those
plans. Now that assumes that if a Tenant comes in in the future, then you submit a
Tenant Improvement Plan for that Tenant and then he pays the differential at that point in
time. "
Brief discussion ensued on a possible second sign.
Manager McLemore stated, "I think we can it back to you at the next Meeting."
