Discussion. Mr. Tom Corkery, 759 Bear Creek Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: addressed the Board Members related to this project and said, "As far as what I am going to develop on there, there is no endangered species. There is none of that there. The vegetation wetlands is a very low grade. So far, our response and what we got from St. Johns [River Water Management District] Environmental Engineer is, we don't foresee any problems. One thing - I am concerned about, and being a citizen of Winter Springs, is to make sure that the flow at Howell Creek doesn't get disturbed at all. What I am trying to do with our Engineer - David Schmidt, is make that flow even better than what is existing out there." Mr. Corkery added, "We are taking approximately - three and a half (3.5) acres of existing Tuscawilla Country Club property not even in Parcel 7 - I am taking less of Parcel 7, approximately a little over - ten (10) acres, and I am only using approximately six point eight (6.8) acres of that - [tuscawilla] Country Club property to build the sixty (60) carriage homes."

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FWRIDA MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARDILOCAL PLANNING AGENCY REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 7,2007 PAGE 6 OF 9 PUBLIC HEARINGS 504. Community Development Department Requests The P&Z (Planning And Zoning) Board Consider A PUD (Planned Unit Development) Master Plan, Preliminary Development Plan, And Preliminary Engineering/Subdivision Plan For A 338 Unit Development On Approximately 47.09 Acres, Located On The South Side Of Shepard Road, North Of Florida Avenue, East Of Boat Lake, And Immediately Adjacent To The West Side Of The Wildwood Residential PUD (Planned Unit Development). Ms. Sahlstrom presented this Agenda Item and said, "Staff recognizes that to do the kind of berm - to do a berm in that area would require about thirty feet (30') and instead of going in that direction, the Applicant is wanting to go with a - eleven foot (11') tall wall along that edge but to not go with the berm." Discussion ensued on a bus stop location and sidewalks. Ms. Sahlstrom reviewed the recommended Conditions of Approval. Ms. Sahlstrom said, "This is a Preliminary Engineering Subdivision Plan. It is the PUD (Planned Unit Development) Master Plan for the development and a Preliminary Development Plan. So, this will need to go to the Commission and then it will need to go back to the Commission when they do their Final. But, this will be the last time that this Board has input on this project. It won't have to come back for the FinaL" Discussion. Mr. David Evans, Evans Engineering Inc., 719 Irma Avenue, Orlando, Florida: spoke to the Board Members related to this project. Mr. Evans said, "What we did was agree with her (Ms. Sahlstrom), with John Baker and Randy (Stevenson) to provide access to the Lynx bus stop on the [US Highway] 17-92 side as well as school kids on a sidewalk. Originally there is an old sidewalk on the north side of Shepard Road, but on the south side there is a blank area. So, we propose to put and connect with the existing sidewalk that is in real good shape that runs right in front of Highland Elementary." Mr. Evans then added, "The bus stop that is internal is a bus stop that is proposed currently for the school buses and what we did, we ran an analysis. We worked with Brian Fields and others in the City to make sure the turnabouts and roundabouts are all designed per standards that we were handed and in that case the recommendation was to move the area where the school children would wait back away from the roundabouts slightly so that they would have more clearance to make those turns if they were waiting on the bus. ~ I r-' =- ...-- ~ ~~ ,.... . ,.... . -~ :.w~ ~ . CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARDILOCAL PLANNING AGENCY REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 7, 2007 PAGE70F9 SO, we had no problem dealing with that. We sent all this information to the School Board as well. They are coming inside subdivisions in these cases, if they can get in. Remember this is a gated subdivision, so we will have special access for them to come through the subdivision in the roundabout, pick up the school children so that it is a safe haven for them to wait for the school bus. Only other thing I want to mention, I think is the wall berm issue and it wasn't described and I think you see it a little bit better in the new Site Plan that we have for you tonight to look at is the eleven foot (11 ') wall idea came from a new analysis based on the proximity of the buildings and the open space and a running path - actually a six foot (6') wide path that runs the whole perimeter of the property and landscaping on that wall. Remember that that west side backs up to Industrial Uses. So, what we were doing is creating some kind of buffer in some form, wall berm - that is a flexible number. We can do a two foot (2') berm and a nine foot (9') wall or eleven foot (11 ') wall all by itself or a five foot (5') berm and a six foot (6') wall. But in our case, we proposed an eleven foot (11') wall, landscaping on our side of the wall to be maintained and then add about thirty feet (30') or so to the buildings, and that area was where that path was for the connectivity of the running path." Discussion. Mr. Steve 0 'Dowd, Engineered Homes and Communities" 1155 South Semoran Boulevard, Winter Park, Florida: addressed the Board Members and presented a Power Point presentation. Discussion on Workforce Housing. Mr. O'Dowd said, "When you see the layout, what you are going to see is the different unit types are dedicated to the lot shape that they go on and because of the geometry of the lot shape, it is going to force us to have houses of a certain size." Mr. O'Dowd then said, "It is in clusters of five (5) units that just repeat themselves. And what we are looking at is at this point, our proposed sizing is going from twelve hundred (1,200) square feet to about nineteen hundred (1,900) square feet." Discussion. Continuing, Mr. O'Dowd said, "The other thing I might add is, you are very welcome to check with your own Police Department and Fire Department. We are one (1) of the few builders, I think the only builder in Central Florida that we have standing programs with all Policemen, Firemen and Teachers. And I think our flyers actually go out in their paychecks for discounts on the homes that we build."

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FWRIDA MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARDILOCAL PLANNING AGENCY REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 7,2007 PAGE80F9 Mr. O'Dowd said, "What we are proposing is the utilization where these clusters, these quadrants come together of utilizing a trail system which is a sidewalk system - and you are going to see how this merges when it gets into the center area to be able to allow that flow and that walking from one end to the other." Continuing, Mr. O'Dowd said, "And so what we are proposing doing is utilizing and making these rear yard meeting spaces or pass through spaces." Further, Mr. O'Dowd said, "Our plan is to vary these court yards in the different sections as we go through." Mr. O'Dowd said, "The amenity is really not established at this point. What our proposal would be - clubhouse or cabana, swimming pool, tot lot and we would utilize the lake edge and the park area that sits adjacent to that to the south." Discussion ensued on parking. Mr. O'Dowd said, "We have two and a half (2.5) parking places per unit planned in the development. " Continuing discussion on the Wall, Mr. O'Dowd said, "I would happily entertain dropping that wall down to a different size knowing that the wall would be in place before any homeowners move in there." Referencing the Site Plan, Mr. Evans stated, "The whole subject property would be fenced or walled in both cases." Chairman Poe opened the "Public Input" portion of this Agenda Item. No one spoke. Chairman Poe closed the "Public Input" portion of this Agenda Item. "I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE [AGENDA] ITEM '504' AS WRITTEN WITH THE - CRITERIA THAT THE STAFF HAS ASKED FOR AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT A CRITERIA THAT REQUIRES THE WALL TO BE A BERM WALL COMBINATION INSTEAD OF JUST AN ELEVEN FOOT (11 ') WALL."
