He explained the current plan. He said he understood that the City's portion of Shepard Road would be constructed when th0 remaining properties were developed. Hopkins said this is in direct conflict with the proposal that Chancellor submitted last week. Chancellor said if the Planning & Zoning Board decides to forward the plan that is before them tonight to the Commission, it is his understanding that the owner of the property is willing to consider withdrawing his request in regard to the solution of Shepard Road. He said the Board can submit a plan that shows Shepard Road or one that deletes Shepard Road. Koch said what is before this Board at the moment is whether this plan meets the City Code. The Board is to look at the concept of the plan for Highland Lakes. Hopkins asked that the public be allowed to give comments. Mr. Warren Williams, 312 Wing Lane, Winter Park, spoke. He said he owns 17.26 acres south of this property. He said he has a problem with the two applications pending, in that he is at a loss to take any action regarding his land until he sees what the results will be. He said he would like to see both of the applicants heard at the same time by the Commission; otherwise, he is afraid that contradictory decisions will be made, as the two applications are contradictory. The developer's opposition to installing a 12 inch water line on Shepard Road was discussed. Kozlov said if Shepard Road goes through, it will need to be a 12 inch pipe. Kozlov said according to the recommendation of the Utility Manager, the pipe to the north of this project had a twelve inch pipe in place, and if it does go through to the south of Highlands Lake, it will need to be matching in size.

McCleod said that Doug Taylor, the Utility Manager, said that with the section of Shepard Road installed, the developer is required to install the 12 inch water main in accordance with the City's Master Plan. Hopkins asked about the existing gas line. Chancellor said it's a four inch line which serves the Highalnds and the south. He said the responsibility to maintain it is with the gas company. He said the City has an agreement with the gas company saying that the gas company would relocate the gas line to the Shepard Road right- of-way east of the City property. Chancellor said Florida Land Company would not reach an agreement with the gas company in that the gas company proposed that the Florida Land Company should pay not only for moving the gas line across their property, but also across the City property and across Mr. William's property. Hopkins asked whose responsibility it is to maintain the retention ponds. The Highland Lakes Association will be responsible. Hopkins asked if this is infringing on any of the 100 year Flood Plain. Kozlov said engineers have generally just looked at the F.E.M.A. map, found the general location and noted the distance from it. Hopkins asked Chancellor if he is opposed to adding the additional sized water main. Chancellor said they question whether the 12 inch is appropriate or needed. Hopkins asked about problems with the existing gas line. Chancellor said the gas line issue will be resolved. McLeod made a motion that we find the plans in compliance with the original PUD Ordinance, and that they be passed on for acceptance with attachments but they must comply with the additional recommendations of the staff. Torcaso seconded the motion for discussion. Discussion. Roll Call: John Torcaso, aye; David McLeod, aye; David Hopkins, aye; John Langelotti, aye. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 9:15 P.M..
