residential areas. A limited term parking permit was made available for certain vehicles until
August 31, 1999.

. The City Commission adopted Ordinance 721 on June 28, 1999 restricting and regulating the
parking of commercial vehicles in residential areas.

REGULAR AGENDA ITEM I
Page 2
. The City Commission established a deadline of August 31, 1999 to obtain a limited term
parking permit.
· As of August 31, 1999, twenty-nine (29) limited term parking permits have been issued.
. Several residents have requested a limited term parking permit after the deadline.
. The purpose of terminating the permits on August 30, 1999 was to prevent the number of
grand fathered vehicles from growing during the limited permit period. As long as residents
can demonstrate residency and ownership of the vehicle at the time of adoption of the
ordinance there does not appear to be a reason not to issue late permits.
. In order to extend the period of time to obtain a permit, the current ordinance would need to
be amended with two readings, one of which would have to meet the advertisement
requirement. An additional late fee could be charged and requirement that proof of
residency at the time that the ordinance was enacted could be made before a permit is issued.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Commission consider amending Ordinance 721 allowing persons who can
demonstrate ownership of the vehicle and residency in Winter Springs at the time of adoption of
the ordinance to be issued permits in accordance with the provisions of the ordinance, and
applying a late fee of $10.00 (making the total permit fee $35.00).
