Regarding the language of "Transitional" Committee Member King stated, "I researched to find out. The City of Oviedo is desperately trying to find out what it means, but does not have a definition yet. Seminole County is also working on it. 1 spoke with their Consultant today and she actually was able to give me a clear description of where they are and how they are going to define what 'Transition' means. Very simply - 'Transition' can be viewed one (1) of two (2) ways. It is either a 'Place in time', 1 mean a 'Function of time' and that is - like a snapshot during evolution. It means when this happens and when something else happens later on this is a 'Transition'. The second definition that it could be is a 'Place'. A 'Place that you could draw a circle around on a map'. Its transition is a buffer between two (2) abstract things and it is permanent. Of the two (2) definitions, the second one that is a 'Function of place' a 'Function of space' is their definition of 'Transition' and they are working final language to define what it is." Committee Member Wright added, "The County has defined it as a stationary object. And, is in the process of putting language to that." Regarding Consultants, City Manager Ronald W. McLemore stated, "I think the idea of economics is so important, 1 think we ought to get Owen [Beitsch RERC- Real Estate Research Consultants] back at the next Meeting.

Manager McLemore stated, "Do we want to invite Owen [Beitsch] back next Meeting and talk about the economic side?" There were no objections by the Committee Members. "Do you want to invite Hugh [Harland]?" Committee Member King stated, "Ron [McLemore], I do not have an objection to it, I do not mind it, but I think - the experience that the people have, the residents on the north side of Lake Jesup; Myrtle Street, the Conservation Village of Myrtle Street is a - failure." Ms. Sahlstrom stated, "It is something to look at - that maybe we should send that Code to you - or - maybe a summary of that. I do not know if that is where it went wrong with the Code." Manager McLemore stated, "That is where I am coming from. I do not want to replicate something that is wrong." Ms. Sahlstrom suggested November 17, 2005 as the next Meeting date.
