Office Of The City Attorney Requests The Planning & Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Hold A Public Hearing For Ordinance 2010 -04, Amending The City's Tree Code To Address Energy Devices Based On Renewable Resources. Mr. Stevenson presented this Agenda Item and stated, "What we did not have the authorization to do and currently still do not and pursuant to the language in the (City) Code, is to waive the tree replacement credits or at the owner's option, a donation to the tree bank." Chairman Lacey asked, "Has the City Attorney opined as to whether he believes that our current Ordinance that requires tree bank contribution or replacement does constitute impediment under the Florida Statute ?" Mr. Stevenson replied, "Not specifically. He has followed through with a request to change the language." Mr. Stevenson referenced `CHAPTER 5. TREE PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION (b) Criteria.' and stated, "A Permit was issued under our current laws with the Criteria or the Condition thatthe tree replacements be made or pay into the tree bank. But, what we added in there, is that trees that prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the installation or operation of a solar collector, clothesline, or other energy device based on a renewable resource. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD /LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 3, 2010 PAGE 6 OF 10 Staffs concern — and we tried to address that if this moves forward in a positive manner — our concern is that clotheslines are by name, mentioned in the Ordinance as a solar drying source." I) may.: s Under the proposed Ordinance, Mr. Stevenson referenced `(5) Waivers of replacement tree(s) specifications. (b) Renewable resource waivers.' and responded, "At no time was a Permit denied to take these trees down. What we are talking about tonight is, do we want to move forward and use solar renewable devices as a Criteria by which we can remove trees and not mandate the replacement credits or any payments into the tree bank ?" Next, Chairman Lacey asked, "The Applicant under this scenario would pay the nominal fee that we charge for actually pulling the Permit ?" Mr. Stevenson replied, "Yes." Chairman Lacey then asked, "But not have to suffer the consequences of that tree removal." Mr. Stevenson stated, "Staff is concerned about the proliferation of and the administration of these particular types of Permits." Mr. Stevenson added, "The language would allow not only the issuance of the Permit, if it was justified, but it would allow no tree replacement requirements to be mandated. Staff is fine with the first part, obviously we issued the Permit. Where we have some concerns, is by allowing this to trigger no replacement trees." Discussion. Mr. Stevenson noted that, "I did write a letter to this gentleman after consulting with the City Attorney's office, and they at that point in time, felt like Staffs interpretation of State Law was correct." Next, Chairman Lacey asked, "The problem I have with this language is the clothesline inclusion. I understand it is there, because you are trying to conform to the State Law — but, what if we were to remove the clothesline reference from our Ordinance and then it is clear that if someone puts in an expensive solar collector where the benefits outweigh the cost of the trees..." Mr. Stevenson replied, "...More than three (3) years." Chairman Lacey then added, "If someone comes in and puts a clothesline up and makes that same claim, then they would have to make the case why State Law preempts our Ordinance, essentially, and make the case that the clothesline is a justifiable use for it and it would not be de -facto granted by our Ordinance. Do you think you or the Attorney would have a problem if we struck the clothesline language ?" Discussion.

Tape 1 /Side B m Next, Mr. Stevenson stated, "If we Approve the Ordinance as written and take out clotheslines, that means they can come in and put in a solar panel, take the trees out and not be bound to do the tree replacements. That is the way this Ordinance reads." Mr. Stevenson then clarified, "We are also including not just solar collectors for power generation, but we are also solar collectors for heating pools and anything of that nature."

Ms. Sahlstrom presented this Agenda Item and stated, "The Applicant has met all the requirements of the (City) Code, and the only issue that is really still outstanding is the issue of a Wall, because the (City) Code requires a six foot (6') masonry wall. However, adjacent to the property is a vinyl fence, so the Applicant desires to extend the vinyl fence. What Staff is asking is that the P & Z (Planning and Zoning Board) recommend Approval of the facility subject to either the Applicant providing the masonry wall or receiving a Waiver to extend the vinyl fence." Mr. Stevenson stated, "If I might remind the Chairman and this Board — the Waiver will be coming back to you." Board Member Robert Heatwole inquired about the property behind the fence. Mr. John Herbert, Engineer, American Civil Engineering Company, 207 North Moss Road, Suite 211, Winter Springs, Florida: addressed the Board Members and stated, "That is an existing retention pond and privately owned and currently maintained by the City of Winter Springs." Ms. Renae Hamilton, 220 Oak Road, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke briefly about the project and fence concerns. Referencing the debris behind the fence to be cleaned up, Chairman Lacey asked, "Randy (Stevenson), could you pass the message related to the debris ?" Mr. Stevenson acknowledged this request.

Discussion ensued on the information received via email to the Board Members entitled "Board Comparison Between Cities — January 2010 ". Chairman Lacey asked, "If this Board made a formal request for this item to be on the Agenda — the first or second Meeting in March (2010), would Staff put us on the Agenda ?" Mr. Stevenson replied, "I would certainly talk to the City Manager and follow his direction. I think if you made that Request, I think he would probably honor it. I would request that it be in March (2010)." Continuing, Chairman Lacey asked, "That is when you do get to the point of discussing the BOA (Board of Adjustment) or the other Trails, whenever the Committees come onto the Agenda, that the Agenda Item be styled so as to talk about a request from the Planning and Zoning Board to address its mission." Mr. Stevenson replied, "We will be talking about that internally tomorrow." Next, Mr. Stevenson asked the Board Members if he could discuss some new occurrences.
