Mr. Bill Starmer, AlA, NCARB, Architect, President, Starmer, Ranaldi Planning and
Architecture, Inc., 820 West Broadway Street, Oviedo, Florida: addressed the City
Commission on this Agenda Item and commented that, "If you look at the retention
ponds that we have here, they're fairly shallow so we're not intending them to be wet. If
we can get away without making them wet, then it appears as open green space; it's grass
that doesn't have - heavy landscape in terms of bushes and shrubs, but we will certainly
look into it."
Commissioner Brown commented, "Several months ago there was a conversation with -
Winter Springs High School and their - committee about signage for the school, in and
around this location and we were wondering how we could make that happen at the time.
Now I am wondering, given the location of that retention pond on the right, and given the
Commissioner's desire to do some kind of enlightenment there, if there would be an
opportunity to partner with the school to do their sign as a part of some sort of treatment
in that pond that could be lit - with their events and what not; coming into that very
important entrance?"
Mr. Starmer replied, "And that discussion actually has been made; not so much with the
school, but perhaps more so with Central Winds. You know, can the City take the
opportunity to advertise upcoming events. So, we've talked that through with the owner;
they're certainly not opposed to that and they'd be willing to discuss it with you. So, I
think that's - a very distinct possibility."
Commissioner Brown asked, "Would you be point on that if I can get somebody from the
school to give you a call?" Mr. Starmer replied, "Sure."
Further discussion on signage.
Mr. Stevenson asked, "I just want to know if we have - the flexibility of Staff to
negotiate something maybe other than a fountain; maybe some up-lit trees and planters,
things of this nature that would accomplish the same thing of a fountain by up-lighting,
but it would also leave most of this storefront space open for pedestrians in here."
Deputy Mayor McGinnis commented, "Yes." Mayor Bush asked, "So, you are
recommending that you don't put a fountain at that particular location, but there could be
other locations that would be..." Mr. Stevenson replied, "... Could be, but I'm also
recommending that in addition to a fountain, that we have the flexibility to look at some
other type of feature there, on that comer."
Deputy Mayor McGinnis again commented, "Yes. I support that."

Mr. Chuck Pratt, 972 Palmetto Street, Oviedo, Florida: as the Building Contractor, Mr.
Pratt addressed the City Commission.
Dr. Greg Jann, 5932 Arabian Avenue, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke to the City
Commission regarding the attached garage and septic tanks.
Discussion.
Attorney Garganese commented, "There is a timing question. We can do some sort of
Development Agreement whereby - the City will allow him to build a three (3) car
garage. When that's completed, he has so much time to convert the two (2) car garage
and if he doesn't convert the two (2) car garage, then he loses his Certificate of
Occupancy for that three (3) car garage until he does it."
Mr. Stevenson remarked, "As Anthony (Garganese) mentioned earlier, this is similar to
what we did with the demo on the house and Staff would feel comfortable with that."
Attorney Garganese added, "The Agreement would come back to the Commission."
Mayor Bush said to Dr. Jann, "Does that make sense to you?" Dr. Jann replied, "Sounds
great to me."
Mayor Bush said, "Then I think, Commission, the Motion would be to deny the request;
uphold Staffs decision, and then as Anthony (Garganese) said - get together with Staff to
come back with a plan."
Mr. Stevenson asked, "It appears that the Commission would support Dr. Jann's request
to build a three (3) car garage, in an attached fashion, along with a Development
Agreement that had a time certain for the - renovation of the two (2) car garage. If I'm
hearing then, I think I am, then we probably won't be back before you, except with the
Developer Agreement."

added, "It is not going to protrude or stick out."
