Therapy Pool And Provide Direction.
Mr. Chuck Pula, Director, Parks and Recreation Department introduced this Agenda
Item.
With discussion, photographs were shown of a similar facility in Altamonte Springs,
Florida.
Commissioner Sally McGinnis inquired, "Will this be open all day, every day or would
there be special use hours?" Mr. Pula responded, "We're proposing a program that
would be in there all day, every day. Everything from Senior Aerobics classes to open
classes where Seniors - just come and socialize in the pool - a wide gamut of
instructions..." Commissioner McGinnis then said, "... This would require then another
staff person?" Mr. Pula said, "In our initial Agenda Item that we did when we first
applied for the Grant, we estimated a part-time staff person working thirty (30) hours a
week teaching activities in the pool, supervising the pool."
Regarding the possibility of out-of-town User Fees, Commissioner McGinnis asked,
"What about out-of-County?" Mr. Pula stated, "Yes."

McLemore explained, "Do you want to fund it over two (2) to three (3) years, in stages
like you are talking about a Phase I, Phase II type deal; or try to fund it all at one time."
Commissioner Krebs asked, "All at once, what would that be?" Manager McLemore
responded, "You can take it from Fund reserves. You can go out for a G.O. [General
Obligation] Bond issue or you can do a Revenue Bond issue that you might want to
attach some other pressing things to."

Of Longwood's Citizen Awareness And Participation Plan (CAPP) As Well As
Staff's Analysis And Recommendations And Advise Staff As To Whether The
Commission Would Like Staff To Proceed With Implementation Of A Similar
Program For The City Of Winter Springs.
Mr. Randy Stevenson, ASLA, Director, Community Development Department presented
this Agenda Item for discussion. Mr. Stevenson pointed out that "Section 10.0.8 of the
City of Longwood's Code and I would make you mindful that they're currently in the
process of reviewing that language and revising that language such that they are not
bound to implement a CAPP (Citizen Awareness and Participation Plan) program on
every project that is identified there.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA

CITY COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 13, 2006
PAGE 6 OF 16
If you will look at the first part of that Code, you will see that - there is some imperative
language there and it says that it shall be used on 'Site development plan', on 'Variances
involving a non-residential use' and on 'Other applications at the discretion of the
Administrator'. They are looking to strengthen that language to give Staff or whomever -
in our case, the [City] Commission - wishes a little more discretion in terms of how often
they use the CAPP (Citizen Awareness and Participation Plan) program."
Furthermore, Mr. Stevenson suggested that "It would be Staff s recommendation again
for consideration of the Commission that a CAPP (Citizen Awareness and Participation
Plan) program not be required - for projects within the Town Center area unless those
projects are along the periphery of the Town Center. All associated costs for
implementing the CAPP (Citizen Awareness and Participation Plan) program would be
borne by the Applicant or Developer and specific distance requirements for notification
of property would be based upon again, the size of the proposal and the density of the
surrounding neighborhoods. Typically, those distances range from one hundred fifty feet
(150') to in some cases maybe as much as five hundred feet (500'). The Applicant again
would be responsible for all notifications associated with the CAPP (Citizen Awareness
and Participation Plan) program and those documents would be provided to the City in
order to minimize - the current Staff s workload."
Commissioner McGinnis stated, "I would like to see Staff put something together, bring
it back with a real tight program outline for Winter Springs." Commissioner McGinnis
then said to Staff, "Good work, thanks!"
Commissioner Gilmore said to Mr. Stevenson, "You would consider this if it were over
five hundred feet (500'), you just wouldn't send notices maybe?" Mr. Stevenson noted,
"I think part of the Program would - necessarily include language to allow some
flexibility in determining the distances that would need to be notified and again, Staff
would be recommending these on the part of the City to the Applicant, so I would agree -
if it is a larger project - again, we would look at those distances." Mayor Bush remarked
to Mr. Stevenson, "Commissioner Gilmore is saying so there is flexibility there that you
could expand it if need be." Mr. Stevenson stated, "Yes."
"MOVE TO APPROVE THE CAPP (CITIZEN AWARENESS AND
PARTICIPATION PLAN) PROGRAM - MOVE TO APPROVE THAT THE
STAFF WOULD BRING BACK TO US - A VERY SPECIFIC PROGRAM
OUTLINE..." MR. STEVENSON SAID, "...CODE LANGUAGE..."
COMMISSIONER McGINNIS CONTINUED, "...YES, CODE LANGUAGE,
EVERYTHING - INCORPORATING ALL THE COMMENTS AND THE
PROGRAM AS IT EXISTS IN LONGWOOD." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER
McGINNIS. MR. STEVENSON STATED, "DOES THAT INCLUDE STAFF'S
COMMENTS?" COMMISSIONER McGINNIS SAID, "YES, ABSOLUTELY."

Further discussion ensued on the backflow preventer with Mr. Brian Fields, P.E., City
Engineer, Public WorkslUtility Department.
Mr. Craig F. Rouhier, Executive Vice President, WM Sanderlin & Associates, Inc., 738
Rugby Street, Orlando, Florida: addressed the City Commission on this Agenda Item.
With further comments, Mr. Rouhier stated, "We're willing to go ahead and take the
backflow off, take it off. I agree it doesn't look all that great, and when the building, the
fifteen thousand square foot (15,000') and the fifteen thousand square foot (15,000')
building is built behind it, we will install it out of sight. We feel it's a good
compromise. "

Additionally, Mr. Rouhier noted, "All we're asking for is approve the building as is;
we'll take the backflow off; we'll remove it and we'll go ahead and amend the
Agreement that we have that Eloise [Sahlstrom] was talking about with the small brick
wall in the back for the air conditioning. We will go ahead and take the language and
strike it for the garage so we can inhabit that and have offices in there; and we'd like to
correct the language that was in there that said that the front of the garage was supposed
to be bricked up and we will go ahead and put the storefronts on there, which we already
have."
Discussion.
Mr. Roulier stated, "We have got an existing building; we're improving the area, the site
plan around it and yet there is a new building there. This building is completely done
right now and he would like the opportunity to go ahead and move in, if the City could
find a way so he doesn't lose any income in waiting for another couple of weeks to issue
a temporary C.O. [Certificate of Occupancy].
We're within, and we're trying as hard as we can to get that brick wall done and - as soon
as he is done, put sod down on the stormwater pond and ultimately fence that in, but we
have got to get the e.O. [Certificate of Occupancy] on the wall, re-grade it, fine grade it,
put the sod down, put the fence down, the - vinyl-covered chain link fence. We're trying
like mad to get that all done in the next week but the unique situation that he's got right
now is his building is done, prior to completion of the site, which is very unique."
Continuing, Mr. Roulier added, "We would also like for you all to consider giving him a
temporary C.O. [Certificate of Occupancy] so in two (2) weeks we come back before you
with a Certificate of Completion to accept the entire site."
Manager McLemore stated, "We need to talk with this person, with Staff to determine
what these issues are." Manager McLemore added, "I would suggest to you we have
some latitude under the Code. If we can do that under the Code, we will do it, and you
all don't need to worry about that - we will try to help as much as we can."
"I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM '306' - AND THE
APPLICANT WILL ON HIS DIME - MOVE THE BACKFLOW DEVICE AND
WE WILL GO AHEAD AND ACCEPT THE BUILDING AS FAR AS THE
COLOR, THE NO BRICK AND THE DETAILING AS IT IS NOW." MOTION
BY COMMISSIONER KREBS. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER McGINNIS.
DISCUSSION. COMMISSIONER KREBS ADDED, "THE LANGUAGE
CHANGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT - MY MOTION IS TO
INCLUDE THAT."

Mr. Stevenson stated, "...I think the word 'Required' is in the Development Agreement -

"I just fear that someone is going to pick this document up and read it and say - 'It is
required' ."
Mr. Stevenson said, "Obviously, the intent was not to require six (6) stories. I think it is
just some language cleanup in the DA [Development Agreement] that we need to do."

this meeting was set up to discuss the Rural Land Use Boundary Report. Since that

Mayor Bush then noted that "Some time ago there was an article in the Sentinel about
the Land Preservation monies being expended from the Voter Initiative that originally

bringing it back to the voters. I think it is a good idea that resolves some of the issues
that we have had with - development of the rural areas. The County buys it and makes
it preservation forever. "
Mayor Bush asked, "Would the Commission agree to maybe having a Resolution put
together to that effect, sending it to the County?" Commissioner Gilmore and

use to address those types of issues, and that is to adopt laws, not rely on private Deed
Restrictions that are put in the hands of private entities that can be changed by members
of a Homeowner's Association."
Commissioner Gilmore inquired, "Was this the subject that Commissioner Blake got
into?" Attorney Garganese stated that regarding Deputy Mayor Blake's request, "My
