CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 2, 2006 PAGE20F8 PUBLIC HEARINGS AGENDA PUBLIC HEARINGS 200. Community Development Department - Planning Division And Office Of The City Attorney ADD-ON Request That The Local Planning Agency Hold A Public Hearing To Consider Amending Chapter 9 Of The City Code, As It Relates To The Subdivision Process. Mr. John Baker, AICP, Senior Planner, Community Development Department presented this Agenda Item and distributed a Handout to the Advisory Board Members. Mr. Baker said, "I really believe that we should consider adding a couple of words to the proposed Ordinance 2006-11." Mr. Baker continued, "On Page 2 of 4 of that Proposal- in paragraph (c) where it says, 'For properties zoned residential or PUD', if we prefix that with 'Except where a project goes through a full subdivision process or final subdivision' - if we add those words, then we would be adequately protected. 1 do think we ought to specify the 'Arithmetic mean' and 1 would like your opinion about adjacent lots and other jurisdictions." Board Member Brown said, "First - 'Attachment' is spelled wrong on 'B'." Mr. Baker said, "Okay." Advisory Board Member Brown said, "[Section] 9-1. reference the 'Flag Lots' - 'Definitions.' in the beginning. 1 would like to see a reference - the 'Flag Lots' on [Section] 9-12. You did do that on the Town Center." Board Member Brown then said, "So, if you would reference [Section] 9-1. to [Section] 9-12. and [Section] 9-12. back to [Section] 9.1." Mr. Baker said, "Alright." Discussion. Vice Chairperson Linda Tillis said, "I would agree certainly with the 'Exception' that you mentioned. 1 agree that adding an 'Arithmetic mean' to clarify what you mean by average is a good idea." Vice Chairperson Tillis then said, "Adjacent lots, even if they are not within the City's jurisdiction - 1 am concerned that we really would not be able to enforce that. So, that would be my only reservation." Advisory Board Member William H. Poe said, "The 'Mean' is the 'Mean' - 1 agree with that. Secondly, in agreement with [Vice Chairperson] Ms. Tillis with, regard to what she just said about - outside our jurisdiction, the intent of the law is one (1) thing, but what we would be able to enforce is something else." Discussion. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 2,2006 PAGE30F8 Vice Chairperson Tillis said, "So, do you feel that if we add the clause in Section 9-10., Item (c) where we make the exception for that type of formal subdivision process where all those things are taken into account anyway, then I think that would make it a little more clearer how we apply that, you would agree then that you do not think it should apply; a situation like the Dittmar property?" Mr. Baker said, "No, I do not." Chairperson Karr opened the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item. No one spoke. Chairperson Karr closed the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.

Mr. Corkery said, "That has already been reviewed and approved by the City." Board Member Poe said, "So, that has been addressed?" Mr. Corkery said, "Right. Which are really upgraded lights.

Sure, I have had probably seven (7) or eight (8) meetings with them _ we sat and talked and have addressed everything with them." Mr. Corkery then said, "It is all really working out very well. We are working very well together with that community and with the President of that HOA [Homeowner's Association] and some of the other Officers of that Homeowner's Association - we absolutely have no problems with each other. They support everything that I am doing. They are glad buildings were pushed up and closer to the road."

Tape 2/Side A CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 2,2006 PAGE70F8 Referencing the Comp[ rehensive] Plan Data age, starting at fifteen (15) years, Vice Chairperson Tillis noted for the Record that her Data included the Median Age. Discussion ensued about upcoming Public Workshops. Vice Chairperson Tillis said, "With regard to speaking about the City Departments doing a retreat and doing a vision type mission statement, I would also recommend that at the same time - that you consider coming up with a list of issues similar to what we have been trying to do as well as just to broaden that scope, I think that would be helpful. And the other comment, I think there is a lot of validity to the concept that pushing the Public Workshops to January [2007] might take a little bit of the political element out of it and keep us focused on what we really want to do."
