Mr. Rozansky received a proposal from David Auerback concerning property at 110 North Flamingo, adjacent to the Public Works compound. He was asking $2,000 cash, and for us to pick up the taxes which are approximately $540.00, and the balance of the mortgage which was $37,600.00.Mr. Rozansky said he felt it was a good buy for the City. Discussion. Commission Partyka offered to look at the property and discuss it at the next meeting. Mrs. Cindy Gennell, 706 Meadowbrook Drive spoke concerning the Flamingo property. She said she felt from a real estate point of view, that owning the property would be to the City's advantage as it's being offered below its assessed value. A ten acre piece of property is for sale directly adjacent to the Dayron Ponds. The initial price that they mentioned was $250,000. Mr. Rozansky talked with Mr. Zudtke and Doug Taylor, the Utilities Director, about it, and they felt they could get rid of effluent. It would probably bring $650,000.00 plus a monthly tab on the sewer. Commissioner Hoffmann suggested that we would have to get D.E.R. approval Regular Meeting, City Commission, July 24, 1989 Page 3 before we make an offer. The Winter Springs Water and Sewer Management Committee looked at it and felt it was a good thing business wise for the Utility. Discussion.

There will be approximately 20 acres which goes in the direction of Winter Springs where they are attempting to connect the storm water into the City of Winter Springs. He said that he has written a letter to the Water Management Oistrict in order to put the City in a position to challenge any issuance of any permit under the 120 Statute in which we can challenge the permit for the storm water. He said that once they are notified, we have a 14 day window to challenge the hearings. Commissioner Hoffmann said that we need to remind the Country Club builders that they get no certificate of occupancy unless they have a light plan. The City Manager said he would tell Mr. Mikas. Commissioner Hoffmann asked Jackie Koch if the traffic report that was presented at the Planning and Zoning Board was going to be presented at the Commission. She said that it was appropriate to go to the local planning agency. Attorney Kruppenbacher said that he is working with the Homeowner's Association on the Impact Fees, and that he will let Jackie know their decision. Attorney Frank Kruppenbacher: Attorney Kruppenbacher said he had received a copy of the lawsuit filed by Winter Springs Development Joint Venture against the City of Winter Springs regarding the Tuscawilla commercial/non-commercial shopping center.
