Deputy City Clerk Joan Brown read Ordinance 2005-30 by "Title" only.
Mr. Kip Lockcuff, P.E., Public WorkslUtility Department Director presented this Agenda
Item and stated, "What's changed between First Reading and Second Reading is the
Police Impact Fee. When we had done our calculations for the First Reading of the
Ordinance, we had used the capital needs provided in the December update by LDI (Land
Design Innovations, Inc.) of December 2004, and they had only included the five (5) year
CIP (Capital Improvement Program) needs." Mr. Lockcuff added, "As you can see in the
Second Reading we've increased the Police Fee from one hundred and fifty dollars
($150.00) for residential to three hundred fifty five [dollars] ($355.00)." Mr. Lockcuff
said, "Fire, Parks and Public Building did not change. Transportation changed slightly
when we used the revised build-out numbers."
Discussion.
While discussing adjustments, Deputy Mayor Blake stated, "So Parks is the only number
we have adjusted?" Mr. Lockcuff noted, "That's correct." Deputy Mayor Blake then
asked, "Why is that?" Mr. Lockcuff responded, "Because you adopted a CIP (Capital
Improvement Program) that included projects that weren't on the original 2003 list - for
Parks." Deputy Mayor Blake suggested, "There should be some explanation of that
though, I think."
City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese arrived at 6:41 p.m.
Deputy Mayor Blake opened the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.
No one spoke.
Deputy Mayor Blake closed the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.
Commissioner Miller stated, "Point of Clarification" and referenced page 2.

500. Office Of The City Manager
Requesting The City Commission Adopt A Development Agreement Between The
City Of Winter Springs And JDC Incorporated Relative To The Development Of
The 46.5 Acre Schrimsher Tract Located In The North East Quadrant Of The
Intersection Of Tuscawilla Road And State Road 434.
Mr. George D. Tullos, Jr., Development Manager, James Doran Company, 216 Seven
Farms Drive, Suite 200, Charleston, South Carolina: gave a presentation on Phase IIA
and Phase IIB property.
Mr. Tullos noted a "Boundary topo survey of the 46.9 acres which will become an
attachment to the Development Agreement. There are about four (4) items in here that
will become attachments to that Agreement."
Referring to the presentation, Mr. Tullos said, "Everything you see in the blue and green,
they are wetlands, and we are currently mitigating those wetlands."

Mr. Shane J. Doran, Senior Vice President, James Doran Company, 216 Seven Farms
Drive, Suite 200, Charleston, South Carolina: spoke on the proposed project.
Discussion.
Mr. Tullos said, "This lays out the Phase IIB section of the development as we finish all
the way out to the pedestrian bridge. You can see we have taken out what we were
unable to develop on the east side of the bridge. We will do the Detention Pond."
Discussion.

Commissioner Miller asked, "Your parking is going to be buried in the building?" Mr.
Tullos responded by saying, "The parking will be in garages with liner buildings around,
so, trying to make them invisible to the street." Referring to the next floor, Mr. Tullos
said, "With residential units above the retail."
Next, Mr. Tullos stated, "This is a Concept only - if we were unable to mitigate any
lands, how we might fit this entire development on, but - that is not our interest, but I put
it in there so you know that we have gone way down the road and have the very well
thought-out plans for the development."
Mr. Doran spoke for the record and said, "We did not expect these wetlands. And we
have [Mr.] Bob Lochrane of Lochrane Engineering [Incorporated] here if the questions
get too technical. They are actually worse than they look." Referring to soil testing, Mr.
Doran said, "What we have done is react to that, squeezed everything to the west of the
Trail Bridge, put a tract under contract, it is well over nine hundred thousand dollars
($900,000.00) and between it and Bob's [Lochrane] fees and our other Consultant's fees,
to get this done and to get this mitigated, it comes out to be about a million dollars. We
are trying to save this." Mr. Doran added, "This is just a very simple framework, get
control of this land for us so that we can move forward in good faith with the City to
build out - is our ultimate goal."
Discussion ensued.
Commissioner Donald A. Gilmore asked, "What are you mitigating on - at this point?"
Mr, Doran said, "We have one (1) tract under control that allows us to mitigate
everything to the west of this Trail Bridge and enough in here to drain everything to the
west of that Trail Bridge." Commissioner Gilmore reiterated, "So you - can mitigate
everything you show west of the Bridge." Mr. Doran said, "Yes." Mr. Tullos added,
"And enough of the area to create the Detention Pond to drain everything west of the
Bridge. "
In reference to the Developer's Agreement, Attorney Garganese said, "I have a couple of
minor changes from Shane's [Doran] lawyer in Atlanta." Attorney Garganese said, "The
first change is, it's going to be called the 'Winter Springs Town Center Phase II
Developer's Agreement' - keep this Agreement separate and apart from what we consider
Phase I which is the - Publix area."
Attorney Garganese said, "The fourth 'WHEREAS' clause as a result, we want to strike
that." Attorney Garganese added, "The obligations and commitments of the parties are
set forth beginning on page 2. The first would be approval of the Concept Plan and the
Concept Plan as depicted - minimum of 400,000 square foot of retail."

Furthermore, Mr. Doran stated, "You are looking at the entire - that says Phase - it says
Phase IIB because that area is highlighted. That section in - kind of tan - is IIA." Mr.
Doran added, "We'll fix that - should it be approved and executed, we will..." Deputy
Mayor Blake noted, "...If it is going to be attached as part of the Agreement then I want
to make sure that the Commissioners visually attach which scheme it is, that you are
looking at."
Referencing the plans, Mr. Doran said, "One thing I want to note - these are temporary
measures, for example, that one is only there to meet Fire until we get this from the Trail.
Weare not looking to do cul-de-sacs, those are temporary Fire measures. They are not
correct. "
Deputy Mayor Blake asked, "Is everybody on the Commission comfortable with Phase
IIA Concept Plan and Phase IIB Concept Plan and how they fit together?" There were no
objections from the Commission.
Discussion ensued on building heights.
For clarification, Mr. Doran said, "When this happened to us, we are far enough along
with our four (4) story plan that [Phase] IIA is to remain, in my mind, four (4) story."
Mr. Doran added, "You can't build a six (6) story building at fifty-five feet (55')."
Referring to paragraph 3.2, Attorney Garganese said, "They want to add some language
that says that 'Any substantial change' and the new words would be 'Substantial change'
in the mix of uses, if approved by the City Commission and in accordance with City
Comprehensive Plan and Codes',"
Deputy Mayor Blake suggested, "What is the trigger? And you have already said you
don't really know what that level is, but let's assume for a moment that the trigger has
occurred and now they come before this Commission or some future Commission, with a
substantial change in the mix of uses. By what standard must the Commission make that
determination?" With discussion, Deputy Mayor Blake added, "Does that look at those
mixes as the Town Center proper itself? Attorney Garganese said, "Yes." Deputy Mayor
Blake then noted, "I don't want to adopt an Agreement with a Developer, that at some
point in time in the future, ends up tying the Commission's hands from what really the
right decision might be for them to make."
Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Blake continued, "And if they are bound to make a decision
based on the language that you just have suggested, the mixed uses required within the
Comp Plan, they might come here with a mix that quite frankly is allowed in the Comp
Plan and maybe the Commission doesn't have a legal basis to deny the request."

Attorney Garganese stated, "The Agreement says that it has to be in accordance with the
City's Comprehensive Plan and Code." Deputy Mayor Blake added, "Then what we
need to do is add in that section - right after the words 'Comprehensive Plan', 'As
amended'." Attorney Garganese noted, "In accordance with the City Comprehensive
Plan and Code, as amended, from time to time?" Deputy Mayor Blake said, "Sure."
Mr. Doran explained, "If I don't secure this anchor, for example, and that parking
configuration, which would be hard to convince them to do, I've got to come back to you
- this was a tool for us both to move forward in good faith and, like he says, my
understanding as the City Manager has said, that I have to come back to you for changes.
I mean this has to meet Code. You have a million ways to review this and make sure this
is appropriate before I change anything. I went with a mix, which I thought was desirable
at this time, but like I've always told this Commission, because I've always done
everything I have said I'd do; if the market is not driven that way, I'll be back before you,
and then I am telling you all right now, if this isn't working I'm going to see you again
and say - I've got another plan."
Further discussion ensued.
In paragraph 3.3, Attorney Garganese said, "They want to change - from 'all permit
applications' to 'file the initial permit applications for the construction of this Phase I, no
later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the date that the parties approve
and execute an implementation Agreement', which we will discuss in paragraph 4. of the
Agreement." Mr. Doran then elaborated, "We can certainly have the parking garage
plans completed, turned in well in advance of that and be underway with construction,
but the plans for these, they take about eleven (11) months. We've got nine (9) months
left. So, there's a chance that you and I could agree too quickly and I could be caught in
a bind. That's basically the reason for it. A hundred and twenty (120) days." Manager
McLemore said, "What I'm trying to protect is the idea that Phase I is going to be all
developed in one single development." Manager McLemore added, "The fact that we
may advance the parking structures is not an issue to me. What would be an issue to me
was that if we started putting this into two (2), three (3), or four (4) development phases
then - that would be a problem."
Mr. Doran said, "The natural order you would draw and construct these, you start with
the parking garage because they are interior. You have to build those first." Mr. Doran
added, "I was just worried about a time crunch on all the plans. I mean if we sign this
tomorrow, I could theoretically have a one (1) or two (2) month time crunch. Even
though my overall schedule, I think I could have Main Street finished in two (2) years -
it's not all - things have to be going at the same time, it's not linear. You don't finish
one thing and do - another."

Manager McLemore said, "My issue is that Phase A is all committed to Phase IIA and
developed as one (1) project." Mr. Tullos said, "That is our intent. Absolutely." Deputy
Mayor Blake said, "What you are saying Ron [McLemore], is that you don't want Phase
IIA to be constructed building by building as Phase I is, where you design one (1)
building, get approval on one (1) building, pull a permit on one (1) building; you grade it,
you construct it, you build it. Building is complete, then, you go to the next building."
Mr. Tullos stated, "That is not our intent." Mr. Doran added, "It's not our intent. But,
what if we are sitting here fighting with the DOT [Department of Transportation]."
Then Mr. Doran stated, "I was basically trying to cover myself, maybe I was being a little
conservative. If you want to take it out, I can take it out. I really thought, maybe I was
two (2) months uncomfortable in the time period and I thought that was an easy way to
solve it." Manager McLemore said, "I have no problem with an advanced construction
period for pieces of the project as long as it is fully understood that the project is moving
forward all together as one development project and not to be built in phases." Mr.
Tullos said, "I think we're on the same page." Mr. Doran added, "In regard to [Phase]
IlA." Manager McLemore said, "[Phase] IlA - but the Agreement has to say that."
Attorney Garganese referenced paragraph 3.3 and said, "There is a recommended change
by JDC [Calhoun, Inc.], they want to strike the language 'begins approving and issuing
the permits' and change it to 'issues a building permit a hundred and twenty (120) days
from the date that the City issues a building permit for all or part of the construction of
Phase 1'." Deputy Mayor Blake said, "I would agree with that change." Attorney
Garganese said, "I can't really quantify what 'Substantial' is, but the intent of it is that
they agree to commence as Commissioner Gilmore said, 'A whole lot of construction on
Phase I within a hundred and twenty (120) days from the date the City issues a building
permi t. "
Manager McLemore said, "A whole lot is not enough." Deputy Mayor Blake asked, "Is
there one (1) building permit for all of [Phase] IIA or is there a building permit for each
structure or infrastructure part of [Phase] IlA?" Manager McLemore said, "There could
be separate building permits for different buildings." Deputy Mayor Blake commented,
"Exactly my point and that's where you could conceivably have an eight (8) month
timeframe. Would it be appropriate to simply add the language into this section that it is
the intent of both parties that Phase IIA will be designed, constructed, and built -
whatever to clarify the intent of what it is that we are trying to say, and is that
agreeable?"

Discussion.
Next, Mr. Doran said, "The reason I am here is to get six (6) stories to fit the same stuff
on here for my investor to buy this land. I don't need a Development Agreement to
develop four (4) story gorgeous stuff on Main Street." Manager McLemore said, "The
project will be developed as one (1) project and not 'Phased', it will not be 'Phased'.
You don't have the option to Phase the construction." Attorney Garganese suggested,
"Why don't we just say that Ron [McLemore]?"
Mr. Doran said, "Of [Phase] IIA - and I am willing to say that." Attorney Garganese
said, "I would just put a second sentence, 'The first phase of the project which is Phase I,
IIA shall be developed as one (1) single development project.' We could put in '(no
phasing)' if you want, in parentheses." Manager McLemore stated, "I'm okay if we say-
'shall not be phased and will be developed as one (1) development project." Mr. Doran
noted, "That's fine with me." Furthermore, Attorney Garganese explained, "I will just
change - second sentence, 'The first phase of the project, Phase IIA shall not be phased,
and shall be developed as one, a single development project as depicted on Exhibit 'C'."
Mr. Doran said, "I'm fine with that." Deputy Mayor Blake asked the Commission if
they were also in agreement. No objections were noted.
With further discussion, Mr. Doran said, "Our intent is not to drag it out. Our intent is to
get going and the first thing to do is to get those garages built." Manager McLemore
stated, "I understand that, but intent is great, but we need to have..." Mr. Doran said,
".. . And they are going to be built simultaneously, therefore you are already operating on
the entire site."
Furthermore, Attorney Garganese explained, "I will just change - second sentence, 'The
first phase of the project, Phase IIA shall not be phased, and shall be developed as one, a
single development project as depicted on Exhibit 'C'." Mr. Doran said, "I'm fine with
that." Deputy Mayor Blake asked the Commission if they were also in agreement. No
one voiced any objections.
Commissioner Gilmore asked Manager McLemore, "Are you going to be able to turn
permits around in adequate time for them to work?" Manager McLemore responded,
"We're making a commitment to that in the Development Agreement."
Deputy Mayor Blake said, "So, everybody agrees on 3.3?" There were no objections.

Referring to paragraph 3.4, Attorney Garganese said, "Recognizes that JDC intends; they
want to change 'agrees' to 'intends' to commence substantial construction of the second
phase of the Project no later than sixty (60) days following the City's issuance of the final
Certificate of Occupancy for Phase lIA. And there are some language changes. They
want to strike 'as depicted on Exhibit 'D" as well."
Discussion.
Deputy Mayor Blake said, "So, all we need to do is amend [paragraph] 3.4 to read, , JDC
intends to commence substantial', leave all the other words the same, and add a sentence
at the end that - 'This will be further defined in the implementation agreement as outlined
in section 4.''' Mr. Doran said, "That's fine; and I will overrule my Attorney's comments
as far as getting rid of the Concept Plan and go with the City Attorney's comment." Mr.
Doran stated, "'Intends' - I want to go with it - and I do intend." Manager McLemore
stated, "Why don't you put in there, 'According to the Exhibit as may be amended from
time to time'." Commissioner Sally McGinnis said, "That's good." Mr. Doran said,
"That's fine." Manager McLemore added, "It requires the consent of the Commission to
amend it."
Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Blake said, "I want to go back to - section 3.3. I don't know
if the Commission actually agreed with the change - at the very bottom of 3.3, Anthony
[Garganese]." Attorney Garganese said, "The change that they would like to make is
'Within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date that the City issues a Building
Permit'." Commissioner McGinnis said, "That sounds good." Commissioner Joanne M.
Krebs said, "Yes."
Attorney Garganese said, "Going back to 3.4 - 'JDC intends', are you alright with that
language?" Deputy Mayor Blake stated, "Yes." There were no objections. Attorney
Garganese restated the paragraph as, "JDC intends to commence substantial construction
of the Second Phase of the Project as depicted on Exhibit 'D' - as may be amended, from
time to time - as mutually agreed to, pursuant to paragraph 4. of this Agreement?"
Deputy Mayor Blake asked, "Mr. Doran, do you intend to begin construction on Phase
lIB immediately after completion of [Phase] lIA, if all of those other implementing
factors are in place and taken care of?" Mr. Doran said, "Yes, I do." Deputy Mayor
Blake then commented, "I would prefer to leave the sixty (60) day language in there,
strike 'agrees', put in 'intends'; you add the language on the plan that it 'may be amended
from time to time'." Deputy Mayor Blake added, "It is on the record that the Developer
is intending to go forward and develop [Phase] lIB immediately." Mr. Doran said, "And
any time our intentions change, it's subject to your approval."

Attorney Garganese asked, "Are we striking the - sixty (60) days, or keeping it?"
Manager McLemore remarked, "We are saying that it's his intent to do that - but it
would be further defined pursuant to..." Attorney Garganese then clarified, "We add a
sentence to say - 'It will be firmed up in paragraph 4.'." Manager McLemore stated,
"Right. "
With further discussion on roadways, Deputy Mayor Blake noted, "The Roads shall be
located in accordance with the Concept Plan." Manager McLemore added, "That is one
of the things that will be amended from time to time - the road layout." Mr. Doran
stated, "Can we add the amended language?" Manager McLemore said, "Yes." Deputy
Mayor Blake remarked, "That is fine with me." Commissioner McGinnis said, "Good."
Commissioner Krebs stated, "Yes."
Discussion.
Referencing paragraph 3.9, Mr. Doran said, "But we don't need more than four and a half
(4%) [floors]." Mr. Brian Fields, P.E., City Engineer, Public Works Department stated,
"The current plan shows you need five (5), I believe in the south garage and four and a
half(4%) in the north garage."
Discussion.
With further discussion on the height of the garage, Commissioner Gilmore said, "Four
(4) stories for [Phase] IIA." Deputy Mayor Blake added, [Phase] IIA on the liner -
buildings." Mr. Doran stated, "Yes." Commissioner Gilmore stated, "You want to put
that in there, Anthony [Garganese]."
Mr. Doran said, "Here is a very basic example of what we are entertaining with nine foot
(9') ceiling heights in the residential units this is what you end up with - a six (6) story
from street level to the top of the parapet wall, sixty eight feet (68')." Commissioner
Miller said, "I don't have any problem with the six (6) floors. I don't have any problem
with putting up a maximum measurement on it either that would work out to the sixth
floor - I think to the parapet would probably be the most suitable benchmark to use for
six (6) floors."
Deputy Mayor Blake said, "The Commission agrees - the measurement will be to the
bottom of the eave..." Commissioner McGinnis said, "...Yes." Deputy Mayor Blake
added, "And what they haven't yet agreed on is what that number will be."
Commissioner Gilmore asked, "What kind of air conditioning are you having in this
building?" Discussion. Mr. Doran said, "Obviously, it would have to pass an
architectural review." Furthermore, Mr. Doran added, "What we want is a criteria that
will allow both a pitch roof and flat roof buildings." Mr. Doran said, "I am not
anticipating any cooling towers."

Mr. Doran said, "Each unit will have its own heat pump, air handler." Mr. Doran added,
"I think it is a typical - split-unit with the Heat Pump." Additionally, Mr. Doran
explained, "We will be submitting full set of plans, Elevations from every angle, and
have to pass a full architectural review and be subject to the entire Town Center Codes."
Discussion. Commissioner Miller suggested, "Maybe we will just say, 'It won't exceed
the height of the parapet."
Manager McLemore summarized the discussion on the height of the building by saying,
"I think we've agreed that - the eave would be - a maximum sixty eight [feet] (68') - the
bottom of the eave..." Mr. Doran said, "...If you are asking my opinion - I would like
seventy five feet (75') to the eave or base of the parapet to the bottom of the eave, and I
am willing to live with ten feet (10') max above that. So, it will be seventy five [feet]
(75') and eighty five [feet] (85')." Discussion.
Deputy Mayor Blake asked, "Are there any Members on the Commission that would be
opposed to allowing a six (6) story building in - Phase IIB?" Commissioner McGinnis
said, "No." Commissioner Miller said, "I don't have any objection." Deputy Mayor
Blake said, "Then I would recommend that we leave section (B) Height. to simply
describe six (6) stories and to handle these, how tall these six (6) stories issues to the
actual Development Review Committee." Manager McLemore stated, "In that statement
you mean that the Commission sitting as the Development Review Commission?"
Deputy Mayor Blake answered, "Exactly." Commissioner Gilmore said, "I think you
need a maximum height personally."
Deputy Mayor Blake said, "Who wants to leave it at six (6) stories and allow each
building to come before the Commission as the DRC [Development Review Committee]
to make an ultimate determination as to what the height of the building should or should
not be?" Commissioner Krebs said, "Yes." Commissioner McGinnis said, "Yes."
Commissioner Gilmore said, "No." Commissioner Miller said, "I think we ought to put a
maximum height on it too." Deputy Mayor Blake said, "And I would vote to leave it the
same; so by a vote of three to two (3-2) it will stay at six (6) and any buildings would
have to come before the DRC [Development Review Committee]."
Discussion.
Attorney Garganese noted that "The property is currently under a Development
Agreement. The Schrimsher Development Agreement which is still a binding obligation
on the property."

Deputy Mayor Blake stated, "Did we ever receive Deeds for those (2) park areas?
Weren't we supposed to?" Deputy Mayor Blake added, "I think an investigation of what
the Agreement was - that this pocket park and this one, which and this one got moved as I
recall, we were actually supposed to receive Deeds to those - there's five (5) of them
right?" Discussion. Deputy Mayor Blake added, "The key to the pocket parks was to
make sure that those types of spaces existed throughout the Town Center Development -
the green oases - if you will, throughout the higher intensity development, and I think it
is important to make sure that those spaces continue to exist in some shape or fashion,
and in a way where they are harmonious with the plan overal1."
Attorney Garganese remarked, "The Development Agreement says that the small
neighborhood squares 4 and 5, they may be relocated a maximum distance of two
hundred and fifty feet (250') to the east or west, and to the south, as part of any
relocation." Mr. Doran said, "Is there a way we can revisit that under 4. as well?"
Manager McLemore added, "You can put another paragraph in here that says location of
the pocket parks is subject to negotiations under section 4."
Mr. Doran said, "If they can be relocated, I'd like to have the flexibility - I don't know
about the two hundred and fifty feet (250'), if that works?" Mr. Doran commented,
"That's fine with me. Frankly, I overlooked it." Furthermore, Mr. Doran added, "I am
comfortable with them being the same size relocated in section 4. - 'Implementation
[Ae:reement.]'- somewhere mutually agreed upon by IDC and the City [of Winter
Springs]." Deputy Mayor Blake said, "Does the Commission agree with that?"
Commissioner McGinnis stated, "Yes." There were no objections.
Deputy Mayor Blake asked, "Anthony [Garganese], can you construct some language in
section 4. - 'Implementation [Ae:reement.]' - where it lists a laundry list of things that
would be discussed - the potential relocation of the two (2) pocket parks (.42 and .44
acres) to a location that suits both the development and the intent of pocket parks, in the
developed areas?" Attorney Garganese stated, "Okay."
Mr. Doran said, "But, I would like it stated in the record that all of the rights of the
Schrimsher Development remain the same." Deputy Mayor Blake reiterated, "All other
rights..." Mr. Doran said, ".. . Yes." Deputy Mayor Blake said, ".. .And responsibilities."
Mr. Doran stated, "Yes - absolutely." Deputy Mayor Blake said, "Does the Commission
agree with that?" Commissioner McGinnis said, "Yes, okay." There were no objections
noted.

Deputy Mayor Blake said, "So, you will add into this, a statement that along with the
pocket park language the relinquishing of the rights of the East Market Square and the
acceptance of all other rights and responsibilities on the behalf of both parties of the
original Schrimsher Agreement." Attorney Garganese said, "Something to that effect -
just that the parties acknowledge that the Schrimsher Agreement remains in full force and
effect, except East Market Square will be deleted and Mr. Doran will have the ability to
negotiate the relocation of parks number 4 and 5 during the 'Implementation
A2reement.' negotiation phase."
