REQUEST: City Manager providing the Commission with an update on the state of Winter
Springs Golf Course.
PURPOSE: This agenda item is needed to update the Commission on the state of the Winter Springs
Golf Course as requested by the Commission.
CONSIDERATIONS: At the April meeting of the City Commission, the Commission instructed the
City Manager to update the Commission quarterly on the state of the Winter Springs Golf Course.
I spoke with John Horan, attorney for the golf course last week. The information was less than definitive
and conclusive.
Basically, the attorney provided the same information we have heard before as follows:
1. The owner is in no hurry.
2. The owner wants to do something that everyone will be pleased with.
3. The owner would like to retain the golf course if economically feasible.
4. Nothing has been done to date relative to the design of development alternatives.
5. The owner wants to work with the Residents of the Highlands (homeowner's association) to
develop a mutually acceptable plan.
There was a lot of fluff and little substance.
I believe this is representative of the reality that they have not begun the process of land planning as yet.
FUNDING: Not Applicable.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Not Applicable.
