General Agenda: Tuscawilla Units 12 and 13 - Sec. 14-60 Approval: Jacqueline Koch, the City Planner, explained that the land development ordinance has a new provision that requires when any development involves flood prone areas or seasonal year round high water tables that a special step be added whereby soils reports are furnished to the City, reviewed by the Engineer and recommendation be made to the Commission whether or not the land is suitable for development as proposed. Mr. Cooper has reviewed the soils studies for this area, including the extension of Northern Way, and he finds that the soils studies do prove that the land can be developed in the 128 single family lots shown on this plan. The Code requires that there be a finding made by motion by this Commission before we can proceed with this preliminary plan. Staff recommends that you make a positive finding. Motion was made by Commissioner Hartman that we accept the City Engineer's findings that the soil is suitable for development for the preliminary plan as submitted for Tuscawilla Units 12 and 13.

Regular Meeting, City Commission, May 25, 1982 Page 2 1981-82-18 City Manager - Richard Rozansky: Winter Springs Elderly Communities: City Manager Richard Rozansky explained that a question posed to the Staff was whether or not the Winter Springs Elderly Communities was considered a nursing home. The attorney determined that the statute under which the Winter Springs Elderly Communities bond issue was requested and approved recognizes it as a nursing home. The applicant desires the option of placing the facility in C-1 zoning - C-1 zoning allows nursing homes. The Staff was concerned that the Commission possibly did not understand (based upon presentations/submittals) that the Winter Springs Elderly Communities was considered a nursing home. The majority of the Commission asserted that they understood the facility to be a nursing home. Street Lights - Winter Springs Boulevard: The Commission was provided a letter from Winter Springs Development Corporation dated May 17 and also a letter from the City Engineer dated May 7 regarding our position on street lights. We are going to try and discuss this once more with Winter Springs Development Corporation. Manager Rozansky said we are sort of at an impasse. The City requires underground service for street lights in the P.U.D. Manager Rozansky felt the City should not spend $15,000 for the lights; and we are researching approvals on Winter Springs Boulevard. For a possible solution, the Manager suggested that future approvals along Winter Springs Boulevard would be contingent upon acceptable and adequate street lighting being provided by the developer. Manager Rozansky provided the Commission with a monthly calendar. Commissioner Hartman asked that a yearly calendar be provided. . Mayor Piland said there have been some complaints of odors from the Ta1mo Avenue area next to the treatment plant by Big Cypress Golf Course. The City Engineer Jack Cooper explained there were excessive odors while they were re-doing their sludge beds, but that is over now. Commission Seat I - Jim Hartman: No Report. Commission Seat II - Buck Adkins: A Workshop Meeting was called for 7:00 p. m. next Tuesday evening, June 1, 1982 to review the Committee Report on Sec. 8 and Sec. 44. Public Right-of-Way/Gi1bertson: Commissioner Adkins said that Mr. Gilbertson, Panama Circle, has requested the City abandon or allow the citizens out there to put up fences with a guaranteed access for the City crews to get into. Jacqueline Koch, City Planner explained the specific area is adjacent to four lots on Panama Circle. The general area is Gee Creek area separating the Terraces from Foxmoor. The creek runs all through; each side of the creek is a drainage right-of-way; it is land dedicated to the public. Within that right of way there are retention ponds which store water before it overflows back into the creek. The property adjacent to these lots is the drainage right of way adjacent to probably the largest one of the retention ponds in the system. Mr. Gilbertson was present. He said he and his neighbors had no desire to own the property, they just want to keep the public out of their backyards. Linda Sutton and David Oakley spoke in discussion.
