Discussion of Winter Springs Elementary School property: Mr. Stephens said Mr. Rozansky
had the Police Chief contact DOT, who said the school does own the property between
the fence and the sidewalk. Mr. LeBlanc called Mr. Stephens and said the school is
responsible for the land. Mrs. Brown called the school and left a message for the
Principal, telling him that the land does belong to him, it is his responsibility to
maintain, that we are having a meeting tonight, and that she would get back with him.
She said there is no way to get water to that land unless they run hoses all the way
from the school. The Principal said he did not believe the PTA would be willing to
pay for a sprinkler system as they have too many other needs. She suggested going to
the School Board. Discussion. Mrs. Gennell suggested going to whoever lays out the
plans for the School Board and ask them if we can submit an alternative parking plan.
Mrs. Brown said she would ask the Principal who is in charge of the plans. She said
she would talk with Mrs. MacNamara concerning what steps we need to take. Discussion.

Report by Mr. Grantham on his talk with UCF and SCC: Mr. Grantham said that neither
college offers a horticulture course.
Mr. Stephens said that Mr. Rozansky checked with the City Attorney about the possibility
of the BOWS Board's filing complaints as a Board. The City Attorney said the Board
cannot file complaints as a Board. They can send a memo to the City Manager asking
him what can be done about a certain eyesore. Discussion.
Mrs. Gennell said the Commission is going to have a Workshop on the beautification of
434 when it is widened. She said she feels the BOWS Board could give some input. She
suggested applying to DOT for more money for that.
Mr. Stephens talked with Mr. Rozansky about the beautification of City Hall. Mr.
Rozansky suggested getting a plat, etc. of the grounds, and then see about getting a
landscape architect to make suggestions. Mrs. Gennell suggested asking the Commission
to get a landscape architect for the Senior Center and City Hall. She also suggested
the possibility of free services of a landscape architect. As Mr. Partyka is interested
in City Hall beautification, Mrs. Gennell made a motion to invite him to the next
meeting. Mrs. Brown seconded the motion. All ayes. Motion carried.

Ideas for the Master Plan: It was decided to divide the Master Plan into Existing
