Authorization
REQUEST:
The Community Development Department wishes to inform the City Commission
regarding results of a flagpole survey recently sent out by the Tuscawilla Home Owners
Association (THOA) to determine support for installation of one or two flagpoles at the
main entrance to the Tuscawilla subdivision.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this agenda item is to update the City Commission regarding a flagpole
survey sent to 4300 residents of Tuscawilla by the THOA to determine the level of
support for installation of one or two flagpoles at the main entrance to the subdivision
located at Tuskawilla Road and Winter Springs Boulevard.
CONSIDERATION:
On June 9, 2008, at a regular Commission Meeting, and during public input, Pamela
Caroll, President of the THOA, made a request of the City Commission for the THOA to
have permission to use the center median located at Tuskawilla Road and Winter Springs
Boulevard for installation of a single flag pole. The City Commission requested the issue
come back as an agenda item for discussion.
On June 23, 2008, at a regular Commission Meeting in Item 601, Staff brought the
flagpole installation issue before the City Commission, on behalf of the THOA, requesting
permission for the THOA to install a single thirty foot (30') high flagpole with an American
Flag in the center median located at Tuskawilla Road and Winter Springs Boulevard, if
results of a flagpole survey to residents of Tuscawilla reflected community support for the
project. The Commission unanimously voted to allow the THO A to utilize

the median for installation of a flagpole and also agreed that a contract between the City of
Winter Springs and the THOA should be executed to address costs of ongoing maintenance
for the project.

maintenance of the flagpole project.
