INFORMATIONAL
304. Community Development Department
Providing The City Commission A Sample Ordinance From The City Of Winter
Garden Pertaining To Upgrading The Building Code As It Relates To Masonry
Wall Waterproofing.
Commissioner Gilmore noted, "I hope when this - gets written that we do more than just
state - what is an acceptable material; but I think we need some criteria of application,
and I would certainly like to see some method of inspection that determines that the
material has been applied properly."
Mr. David Alamina, Acting Building Official, Building Division, Community
Development Department addressed comments from the City Commission.
With further discussion on this issue, Deputy Mayor Miller suggested, "You need to stay
on top of it."
INFORMATIONAL
305. Public Works Department
Advising The City Commission On Current Progress Of The Beautification
Division.
Deputy Mayor Miller said, "It mentions seventeen thousand [dollars] ($17,000) for trees
on a specific roadway - can we do that for other roadways in the City also? Get Grants
for the tree plantings?" Mr. Lockcuff said, "Yes. On a project by project basis, yes."
Deputy Mayor Miller added, "I would like to see the City actively pursue that. There are
a lot of roadways that I think we should look to do this - I would like to see some kind of
an update, maybe an Informational Item on why it is that in some states in the North, that
you can plant large trees down the middle of a road and it doesn't seem to - be a problem
for [F]DOT (Florida Department of Transportation), from a safety hazard standpoint.
When we were presented with our original artist's concepts for the Town Center, it
showed large trees down the middle - actually two (2) rows of trees approaching the
intersections. They might not have thought it through - you might not be able to get two
(2) rows of large trees in there, but you can - get one (1) for the Town Center; and I think
we ought to start pushing for that." Deputy Mayor Miller added, "And we ought to get
them in sooner than later."
Deputy Mayor Miller then said, "I would like to see an Information Item on what is it that
we need to overcome to be able to do that in Winter Springs." With further discussion,
Deputy Mayor Miller said to Mr. Lockcuff, "You and I know that when they get around
to six (6) laning it, the trees will come down. But I don't see any reason why we just
can't put the trees in now, and six (6), eight (8), twenty (20) years from now, they get
around to six (6) laning it, then we will worry about that then."

Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Miller said, "I just want us to start thinking actively on this,
and I want to know why we can't do it. I would like to see all the reasons." Manager
McLemore said, "If you're willing to come out of pocket with the money for curb and
gutter - you can do it now." Deputy Mayor Miller noted, "I am willing - I would like to
see a proposal - if that is what it takes, I would like to see something from staff that says
this is what it is going to cost us to do it; if [F]DOT (Florida Department of
Transportation), is not going to say after we have spent the money to look at it, 'No, you
can't do it'."
Also regarding this Agenda Item, Commissioner Gilmore said, "The TLBD (Tuscawilla
Lighting and Beautification District), you have listed the streets to get additional lighting
considerations - and I was under the impression that Trotwood Boulevard, Vistawilla
Drive, and maybe Dyson Drive should be in that group too." Mr. Lockcuff noted, "I
believe you're correct - basically, all the collector roads."

Mayor Bush closed the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.
Mr. Javier E. Omana, Vice President of Land Planning Operations, CPH Engineers, Inc.,
1117 East Robinson Street, Orlando, Florida: addressed the City Commission.
Regarding the construction materials, Mr. Bakum stated, "It is block construction."
Mayor Bush then said, "And it has to meet all of the windload. . ." Mr. Bakum remarked,
".. .Of course..." Mayor Bush continued, ".. .So it has to meet all the Codes which are
pretty strict."
Deputy Mayor Miller commented that "You actually show concrete going right out to -
[State Road] 434..." Mr. Omana agreed and said, "... Yes." Deputy Mayor Miller added,
"I would really like you to work with the Police and the Fire and everyone else that
would be involved in this aspect of the design, because I am not sure that a Fire Truck
actually has to have a paved road."
Commissioner Blake noted that regarding "Your Reef Bay Road - I also have some
concerns about that."

REGULAR MEETING - DECEMBER 13,2004

With further discussion, Commissioner Blake referenced the plans that showed "A sea of
concrete specifically four (4) plus lanes wide on the adjoining two (2) car garage doors"
and pointed out "That - rather broad sea of concrete tends to make it look more like a
parking lot than a residential product, and my thought would be as we see here on the
Engineering Master Plan that you have given us, it appears that you actually have a
landscape barrier between - the garage doors if you will, that come all the way out to the
sidewalk area - a strip of landscaping, whether it be grass, shrubbery, something to break
up that sea of concrete. Aesthetically, I think that makes it much more residential in
appearance than a parking lot which is what we see now."
Furthermore, Commissioner Blake suggested, "In one of the things that I would like to
see changed - would actually be to have that landscape strip between each and every
garage door come out to the street - well, not to the street necessarily, but to the sidewalk
which would break it up." Mr. Bakum said, "As long as the Code allows, I don't think
that is a big concern." Commissioner Blake then mentioned, "This project is going to be
irrigated, right?" Mr. Bakum responded, "Yes, it's St. Augustine, right."
Manager McLemore added, "What I would ask you to think about is these very small
strips of grass are so difficult to maintain, and cars get on top of them, and would you
consider some type of brick or other kind of paver that would divide that because it won't
live." Commissioner Blake said, "It just needs to break it up." Additionally,
Commissioner Blake added, "Something to break up the sea of concrete I think is very
important here."
Next, Commissioner Blake remarked, "Currently there is a wrought iron or - maybe it is
aluminum, or some sort of a fence type material that goes along [State Road] 434, are you
building a wall in place of that, behind that, leaving it as is and landscaping it?" Mr.
Bakum stated, "We are leaving it as is and landscaping it. The middle picture on the
board is the expected look of our buildings, from the rear, that includes the current barrier
that is along [State Road] 434, so that is our intention. We are planning to add banding to
our windows, trying to make the front and the back look the same for the - buildings
backing up to [State Road] 434."
With further discussion, Commissioner Gilmore commented, "On the buildings facing
[State Road] 434 - wondering if we couldn't do some window treatment that would help
considerably. The second thing is your letter that came with this - refers to combinations
from three (3) units to six (6) units, when in fact, according to this, it is three (3) units to
eight (8) units." Mr. Bakum noted, "Yes sir - they're redesigned - if approved here today
- is to make one (1) eight (8) unit building; there are no seven (7) unit buildings."
Commissioner Gilmore added, "Now with that eight (8) unit building, that's on the
entrance to - on Parkstone Boulevard; that is a pretty wide street going through there.
My fear is that you're going to end up with what - is what these people may be seeing
coming in from - Parkstone Boulevard, because this is an eight (8) unit piece which is
quite long."

Commissioner Gilmore added, "The people coming in Parkstone Boulevard are going to
see - if that is how many units..." Mr. Bakum noted, "...That is four (4)."
Commissioner Gilmore then said, "That is four (4). This is twice that long..." Mr.
Bakum agreed and said, "... Yes sir..." Commissioner Gilmore continued, ".. .Because
you've got eight (8) units facing there, and I don't believe that that is the kind of
treatment we wanted to look at."
Commissioner Sally McGinnis noted, "I concur - with the other Commissioners. I have
some real concerns about the back side of these." Commissioner McGinnis added,
"Along Parkstone Boulevard, does the same kind of fence exist, that does on [State Road]
434?" Mr. Bakum responded, "Yes." Commissioner McGinnis then said, "I have some
very serious concerns about how this is going to look from [State Road] 434. I am
concerned about that more than I am Parkstone Boulevard, but I think that is an issue
also. "
Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs suggested, "Somehow, you have to have some kind of
visual treatments on these buildings to make them look not like boxes of empty space."
Commissioner Krebs further added, "I just think there is some type of treatment you can
do to that building to make it look visually pleasing to the eye, rather than what I see."
Deputy Mayor Miller said to Mr. Bakum, "All of the homes will have two (2) car garage
doors?" Mr. Bakum noted, "Yes sir." Regarding guest parking, Mr. Omana responded,
"All the units have two (2) car garages, so we have the ability to park two (2) cars within
the garages, and then two (2) cars in front of the garage." Mr. Omana added, "We're also
providing some parking in front of the cabana."
Next, Deputy Mayor Miller suggested, "You need to review the record that we have
already gone through with several other Developers on the east end of Winter Springs
with regard to the buildings fronting [State Road] 434." Furthermore, Deputy Mayor
Miller added, "The backs of your buildings are not really great in my opinion. You need
to work on that. The eight (8) unit building. I share the other Commissioners concern
about that too. I just don't know how you can make it look really great at that length
unless you have some really unusual roof - maybe overhangs - you need to work on
that. "
Commissioner Blake added, "Again, I concur." Then, Commissioner Blake suggested,
"Take these three (3) buildings and turn them around - have the front genuinely face the
front and if you have to alter your layout, and you may even lose a unit or two (2) or
three (3) but if you have your Cruz Bay Circle come all the way out to the property's
edge and create the front of these buildings facing [State Road] 434, I think you can keep
your transparent fencing that is landscaped intact just the way it is."

Further discussion.
Tape 2/Side A
With additional discussion, Mayor Bush summarized, "I think the Commission has made
it clear - they want the view from [State Road] 434 to look better. They want to see
some options; and - Commissioner McGinnis has also mentioned along Parkstone
Boulevard, the eight (8) units."
Discussion.
Mr. Omana summarized what he understood the City Commission was requesting and
stated, "If we were to - eliminate the metal fencing of the wall and make that an opaque
brick wall, continuous along [State Road] 434; were to come in and enhance the
landscape package in the back of house and in addition to that, work on architectural
detailing of the back of house, of those units - are we heading in the right direction?"
Commissioner Blake added, "Don't forget about the driveway split up." Mr. Omana
added, "And the driveway split up, yes." Mayor Bush then said, "And also along
Parkstone..." Mr. Omana inteIjected, "... Correct; yes."
Further discussion ensued on ingress/egress and emergency vehicles.
Commissioner McGinnis added, "The issue of guest parking." Regarding discussions
with the Homeowner's Association, Commissioner McGinnis asked if they had met with
the Homeowner's Association and noted, "They do have an active Board now. I have met
with the .eoard - it is a good Board. You might want to do that."
Discussion.
Mayor Bush said, "Javier [Omana], would you state again your perception of what the
Commission is asking for here." Mr. Omana remarked, "With respect to the aesthetics,
we need to deal with it. The direction that I think we are heading here is to enhance the
wall; better the back of house by improving the landscape buffer - package and make the
back of house look like the front of the house; basically I think from an aesthetic
standpoint, I think that is clearly indicated. Another issue now has come up relative to
the access point on [State Road] 434; we need some clarification as to what works; what
was approved back in June, July of this year, may not be to you all's favor now, as to
what the implications of that so we may have to revisit that particular access point."
Mr. Omana continued, "So, what if we were to respectfully submit a request that this item
and the civil engineering approval would be continued, so that we can caucus internally;
meet with Staff and come back to the Board with potentially some options as to how to
proceed with this?"

Blake then mentioned, "You might also be encouraged to review the record from the last
couple of developments along [State Road] 434 that have been approved, and some of the
process that they have gone through, for a clearer understanding of those concerns."
Mayor Bush suggested that "Next time, we put them back to back" on the City
Commission Agenda. With further discussion, Mayor Bush then noted that "Both this
Item [Public Hearings Agenda Item '401'] and [Regular Agenda Item] '503' then will be

502.2 Community Development Department - Planning Division
Requests The City Commission Consider A Development Agreement For Tuscawilla
Town Square (Which Includes The Current Tuscany Restaurant) Located At
Winter Springs Boulevard, Northern Way And Gary Hillery Drive.
Mr. Baker opened the discussion on this Agenda Item.
Discussion.
Tape 3/Side A
Commissioner Krebs suggested "If maybe we could put some fencing and possible
landscaping or something up during this project so that it is visually appealing on that
part of Winter Springs Boulevard." Commissioner Krebs suggested this would help the
view of "The 7-11 parking lot and gas station - I think you are going to end up seeing it a
lot more with - the improvements that you're going to make to that retention pond, and I
am sure there is something that we can do to lessen that offensive look."
Furthermore, Commissioner Krebs said, "Whatever we can do in that area, whether it be
through some fencing and some landscaping - whatever to minimize that. That is what I
would like to see." Mr. String stated, "Absolutely. And you will see that on our
Landscaping Plans and the Final Engineering."
Commissioner Gilmore commented, "I am wondering why we have to have meandering
sidewalks - the only place in Tuscawilla that you have meandering sidewalks. And I
think we should do everything we can to encourage people to walk on the sidewalk and
even jog on the sidewalk, rather than in the street."
Mr. Gary Hillery, 1220 Winter Springs Boulevard, Winter Springs, Florida: addressed
the City Commission on this issue.
With discussion on the dumpster and its proximity to his property, Mr. Hillery stated, "I
would like to see it down here, and I believe we have agreed that that would be taken into
consideration." Deputy Mayor Miller said, "Sounds like a good idea."
Mr. String mentioned, "I think we've agreed that that new location would probably be
better. The second consideration we're making is we're actually having the dumpster
pulled and dumped three (3) times a week, with the new project, where it's now currently
being dumped once a week. So, I think that alone will make a tremendous difference,
and it will be on a concrete slab, up to all the current Winter Springs' requirements for a
dumpster, as well as we are going to have maintenance crews there on site daily to make
sure the lids are closed; so I think the dumpster being moved and more properly
maintained will resolve that problem."

COMMISSIONER BLAKE REMARKED, "I HAVE SOME TEXT ISSUES IN
THE DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT, SPECIFICALLY UNDER SECTION 3. 'c' -
THIS AGAIN GOES BACK TO THE COST SHARING ARRANGEMENT FOR
THE RECONSTRUCTION OF GARY HILLERY DRIVE, AND I UNDERSTAND
AND HAVE READ WHAT WAS PLACED - THE NEW PARAGRAPH - ON
PAGE 4, UNDER THE SAME SECTION, BUT IN THE VERY FIRST
PARAGRAPH, MY CONCERN IS THE USE OF WORD 'SHALL' IN SEVERAL
PLACES THAT DISCUSSES 'THE CITY SHALL REIMBURSE DEVELOPER IN
THE AMOUNT OF THE ROADWAY EXPENSES WITHIN NINETY (90) DAYS
AFTER THE RECONSTRUCTION OF GARY HILLERY DRIVE HAS BEEN
COMPLETED'. I DON'T SEE ANYPLACE WHERE THAT IS BACKED OUT."
ATTORNEY GARGANESE SUGGESTED, "HOW ABOUT WE ADD SOME
LANGUAGE - ACTUALLY SUBJECT TO THE LAST PARAGRAPH, IN
SUBPARAGRAPH '(c)' SUBJECT TO THE CITY APPROVING THE FUNDING,
THE DEVELOPER AGREES TO DESIGN AND RECONSTRUCT GARY
HILLERY DRIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STREETS CAPE PLAN, AND
THEN THE CITY WILL REIMBURSE." MANAGER McLEMORE ADDED,
"THAT IS ONLY IN THE CASE - WE DO THE ADVANCE FUNDING."
ATTORNEY GARGANESE THEN SAID, "I CAN JUST REWORK THAT
SUBPARAGRAPH '(c)' A LITTLE BIT, TO MAKE SURE IT IS CLEAR THAT
IT IS SUBJECT TO THE CITY APPROVING THE FUNDING." MR.
LOCKCUFF NOTED, "IF THEY GO AHEAD WITH CONSTRUCTION, WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STORMWATER POND IS DESIGNED
AND CONSTRUCTED TO ACCOMMODATE GARY HILLERY DRIVE."
COMMISSIONER BLAKE ADDED, "WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT
PARAGRAPH '(c)' SAYS EXACTLY WHAT WE INTEND IT TO SAY AND
THERE IS NO CONFUSION BETWEEN THE DEVELOPER AND THE CITY AS

Weldon Boulevard, Sanford, Florida: spoke on funds, resurfacing and the driving track.

entities, and that was the local law enforcement officers for training for driving and the
students that go to the Police Academy for driving."
With discussion on whether public employees will be able to use the driving track, Mr.
Payton remarked, "We are being up front, Law Enforcement will get first crack at it, but
we are certainly willing to have other folks out there to the extent that time permits."

REPORTS
608. Commission Seat Two - Michael S. Blake
Commissioner Blake noted, "We have a development that is going on, almost directly
across the street from City Hall; actually, it is right across from where the Publix is -
where the traffic light is going to be there - going across on the south side of [State Road]
434; and I think there is - one road way that goes in and circles around and then there is
another roadway that is going to be along the east edge of it - and I would like to suggest
a couple of names for those roads at this time. I think the main loop road that goes
through the center should be named 'David McLeod Way'. We would have to of course,
check that with the 9-1-1 folks at the County before it could be done."
Continuing, Commissioner Blake stated, "The second one is the road that would be half
of that parcel - half of the right-of-way for that road is being donated by that Developer
and then, I think the eastern part would be by the neighboring Developer. There is a
family called by the last name of Roberts that have lived there for about almost forty (40)
years." Commissioner Blake added, "It might be kind of a nice thing to do to name it
after them, and so if the name 'Roberts Lane' is available, and if it is not, then we might
have to find a way to massage it or something; but if the Manager could check on that
and get back to us to let us know if those two (2) names are available, maybe the
Commission could take it up after the turn of the year."
Commissioner Blake then noted that State Representative Randy Johnson and State
Senator Gary Siplin "Today introduced legislation during a Special Session of
Tallahassee - that accomplishes a few things, but one of the things that it really does is it
recognizes that the State will receive approximately a billion dollars in additional sales
tax revenue due to the Hurricanes and of course these dollars are coming primarily from
those areas that were most impacted by the Hurricanes."
Furthermore, Commissioner Blake suggested that "The Commission to have a Resolution
of support for that Legislation, have the Mayor be able to sign a letter and send it off to
the entire Seminole County Delegation, and we really need to have this done like now.
We would have to fax it up there tomorrow." Manager McLemore said, "Do you have a
phone number and all that?" Commissioner Blake said, "I don't but - you can get it early
in the morning - I can get it to you."

Lastly, Commissioner Blake said to Attorney Garganese, "What is our status of Zoning
and Land Use on the property that is in the County's special area of study - over near the
[Black] Hammock?" With discussion, Commissioner Blake suggested, "I think it is time
for us to initiate our own Special Use Study, if you will, of properties in that area; and
again, I don't want to define it as Winter Springs or Oviedo or Seminole County; but -
use characteristics that would be available for that area."
Commissioner Blake added, "I would like to work towards having a Planning Workshop,
if you will, probably a quarter away - to give Staff time to get there - locate the
appropriate Consultants." Commissioner Blake added, "Come up with an effective
Overlay Area if you will, in any of these areas that either are or happened to be part -
sometime in the future of Winter Springs that we can then point to and show these other
governmental entities that we are taking a positive appropriate approach to the
recognition that these environmental areas are going to develop in one way, shape or
form and that we are trying to take a proactive approach to make sure that the character
of the area is protected." Manager McLemore added, "In fact, I would like to bring you
