Other Business Vice Chairman Hillery gave two letters to Ms. Kangee Graham, Landscape Management Consultant. One of the letters was from a resident of the Chelsea Parc subdivision who suggested coordinating the plantings with those that the District is planning for the medians along Winter Springs Boulevard. The second letter suggested using Florida Native plants. B. Planning Session for Secondary and Tertiary Entrances Mr. Lee Jensen, Vice President, Howell Creek Reserve Homeowners Association, gave the Board more signatures to add to the petitions to "Prioritize the Vistawilla Drive Entrance into Tuscawilla". He also informed the Board that he had met with Ms. Graham and reviewed the Howell Creek Reserve and Eagles Watch sites regarding signage issues. Mr. Jensen presented the Board with plans for the Kash n' Karry Store and the Hess Station regarding what is planned for the area and the respective easements. The Board discussed possible locations for the walls and signage issues extensively. Tape I1Side B The Board continued this discussion, and focused on what type of entrance design to recommend at the Vistawilla Drive entrance. Ms. Graham stated that she will find out from the Architect, Mr. Bill Starmer, what it would take, financially and physically, to upgrade the entrance. There was discussion on the Tuscora Drive entrance and how to adapt the two existing walls into signage for the District. The Board also discussed getting feedback from the residents of that area as to what they would like to the design to be. The Shetland Avenue entrance was discussed by the Board. They were in agreement that the "Minor" entrance design from Mr. Starmer was sufficient, however, there was some concern that the power poles may be in the way of where they would like the signage.

Other Business (Continued) Board Member Tillis summarized the following points from this meeting: · On the subject of the Vistawilla Drive entrance, the Board agreed that the "Minor" entrance design by Mr. Starmer will physically work at the locations, providing that the City will allow the construction in the right-of-way, but that the design should be larger in scale "because of the scale of the other signs in the area". The Board prefers to locate the wall on the Eagles Watch side south of the existing stucco wall and closer to the entry of Eagles Watch. · The Board discussed using the existing walls for signage at the Tuscora Drive entrance and adding a round tier in front so it would match the other entrances. · The Board was in consensus to apply the "Minor" entrance design to the Shetland Avenue entrance and will look into the power poles obscuring the signage. III. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS This item was not discussed. IV. ADJOURNMENT Motion was made by Board Member Morris to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by Board Member Khemlani. With consensus of the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 9:08 p.m. Minutes respectfully submitted by: Amy Lovingfoss, Clerk City of Winter Springs DOCSlboards/tuscawilla/arl/minutes/031699.doc
