Community Development Department Requests The City Commission Review The Attached Information About The City 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 MINUTES 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." SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER GILMORE. DISCUSSION.

Ms. Eloise Sahlstrom, ASLA, AICP, Senior Planner, Community Development Department spoke on issues related to this Agenda Item and distributed an Addendum to the Agenda Item. Discussion. Tape 2/Side A 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. " CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 13,2006 PAGE 8 OF 16 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."

MANAGER McLEMORE STATED, "THAT IS A CODE ISSUE." CITY ATTORNEY ANTHONY A. GARGANESE ASKED MS. SAHLSTROM, "IS THAT ON THE PLANS?" MS. SAHLSTROM REPLIED, "YES."

I don't think - we required it..." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 13, 2006 PAGE 12 OF 16 Mr. Stevenson stated, "...I think the word 'Required' is in the Development Agreement - since Development Agreement is a Contract, we probably need to - come back and amend that language, because we have some conflict there." Commissioner Krebs added, "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."

Commissioner Gilmore suggested to Mr. Pula, "Lighting - if we had to rent lights that are on a pole, the portable lights because when the thing ends, the people really can't see getting out of there."
