Mr. Jeffrey Morris, 725 Seneca Meadows Road, Winter Springs, Florida: briefly
commented on parking.
Mr. Connie Crawley, 206 El Camino Real Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: commented
on Mr. BroWfl's Coffee with Citizens and spoke highly of previous Police and Fire
Departments' emergency responses.
Mr. Tony Morasco, 1311 Deer Run Drive, Winter Springs, Florida: asked if billboards
could be removed.
Attorney Garganese said, "There are several billboards that are currently in Winter
Springs. They are all grandfathered in. There are no new billboards that are allowed by
Ordinance which the Commission adopted several years ago. Some of those billboards,
especially on the Scrimscher property, they will go away when that property gets
developed pursuant to a contractual agreement between the City and that property OWfler.
Other billboards will only go away through attrition. If they are destroyed and then
cannot be rebuilt as a non-conforming structure. And, as you know, the State passed
some laws in the last couple of years that make it very expensive for municipalities to
compel the removal of billboards."
Mayor Bush suggested removing the name "Winter Springs" from the sign at the Winter
Springs Golf Course. Discussion ensued on the signage at Winter Springs Golf Course.

you; have slides of acceptable types of fences so that we're not going to sit here and
design fences." Commissioner Krebs added, "Front lots."

six (6), and then the Verizon [Wireless] letter which is not really a letter of intent but it's
a letter of interest, which is their standard corporate policy. Every single slot - available
slot on this Tower is spoken for."
Discussion.
Mayor Bush called a Recess at 7:54 p.m.
The Regular Meeting was called back to Order at 8:11 p.m.
Ms. Solik stated, "I think I had told you before the break; we'll change the color; we can
put a black fence in; we just cannot agree to lower the height because it really does
eliminate a couple of carriers."
Mayor Bush asked Ms. Solik, "If the Country Club owner was in agreement to moving it
the 100 feet (100')", as has been suggested by Commissioner Krebs?" Ms. Solik said,
"This is moving it 100 feet (100')", down the driving range." Commissioner Krebs noted,
"It's in the treeline." Ms. Solik stated, "So, we're moving it northeast..." Commissioner
Gilmore remarked, "...Towards the clubhouse." Ms. Solik added, "My client is willing
to explore that."
Mr. Mike Gardner, General Manager, Tuscawilla Country Club, 1500 Winter Springs
Boulevard, Winter Springs, Florida: remarked, "I don't foresee a problem with this,
moving it a 100 feet (100'), but - something of this nature I still need the final approval
from the ownership."

Commissioner Brown said to Mr. Gardner, "The opposition to the height has been
seconded only by the opposition to continue residential development in the Country Club
proper. With the approval of the Cell Tower if that happens, would the Country Club be
willing as part of the renegotiation or the modification of the Settlement Agreement to
look at a conservation..." Mr. Gardner noted, ". ..Absolutely..." Commissioner Brown
continued, "...Overlay." Mr. Gardner then said, "That's one of our major plans when
moving forward with the development is to transmit development rights and put a
Conservation Easement on that large tract of land which has currently has conceptual
plan for development."
The proposed leases were further discussed with Commissioner Krebs saying, "You had
made comment that you - have four (4) -leases." Ms. Solik stated, "T-Mobile, metroPCS
[Inc.], Clearwire [US LLC] - three (3) leases, I'm sorry. Sprint, three (3) letters of intent;
Sprint is taking two (2) heights; and Verizon [Wireless]."
Restating, Ms. Solik commented, "T-Mobile, metroPCS [Inc.], Clearwire [US LLC]..."
Commissioner Krebs said, ".. . Are the only three (3) that you have commitments for,
right?" Ms. Solik explained, "We have letters of intent from Sprint for two (2) slots."
Commissioner Krebs said, "T-Mobile, Clearwire [US LLC], and metro[PCS Inc.] have
made commitments..." Ms. Solik noted, "... Have signed leases." Ms. Solik noted that
"Verizon's [Wireless] corporate policy is they won't sign a letter of intent and they won't
sign a lease prior to Zoning approval, if they are not the anchor tenant on the Tower - but
they have expressed interest."
Furthermore, Ms. Solik explained, "We submitted in our original application package
which is part of your - the Record, the applications those companies have filed with
Vertex, to secure a slot on the pole." Commissioner Krebs noted, "We didn't get copies
in our packet." Ms. Solik stated, "You didn't. I put a complete package - copy of the
Application in the Record at the first Hearing, and I have referenced that a couple of
times - that - we have communications and interest from every licensed carrier in the
marketplace. "
Mr. Ruiz explained further, "Going down the line, we have a signed lease from T-Mobi1e.
We have a letter of interest from Verizon [Wireless], Sprint and Nextel has submitted a
letter of intent as well, and they are - taking up two (2) slots."
Continuing, Mr. Ruiz noted, "Then we have metroPCS [Inc.] who has a signed lease;
Cingular [Wireless] who has testified before you that they need the Tower and they've
also submitted propagation maps; and then metroPCS [Inc.] has a signed lease as well.
So those are all the licensed carriers. They either have signed leases - they have all
submitted Applications and the ones that don't have signed leases have letters of intent or
letter of interest."

Attorney Garganese said "You said metroPCS [Inc.] twice." Mr. Ruiz remarked,
"Clearwire [US LLC] - as Mr. Garganese pointed out I said metro[PCS Inc.] twice; and
it's metro[PCS Inc.] once, and Clearwire [US LLC] once. So the signed leases once
again are T-Mobile, metro[PCS Inc.], and Clearwire [US LLC]."
Attorney Garganese then said, "If you receive zoning approval, how long do you think it
would take for Verizon [Wireless], Sprint, and Cingular [Wireless] to notify whether or
not you have firm commitments on that Tower? Tomorrow?" Mr. Ruiz responded, "Yes
- very quickly."
Discussion followed on possible changes in carriers if the proposed Cell Tower were
approved at a shorter height.
Commissioner Brown asked, "This Tower at 150 feet (150') is speculative except for one
(1) major carrier who is signed up. The other two (2) players are not major players in the
market. So, do we have a guarantee that these guys are coming on board?" Ms. Solik
responded, "Yes - we would submit to a condition that we have three (3) carriers, three
(3) major carriers in three (3) months. You will have them before then."
Mr. Ruiz added, "I would say that we definitely have two (2) major carriers with T-
Mobile and metroPCS [Inc.] signed up."
Furthermore, Ms. Solik noted, "Signed tenant leases within ninety (90) days." Attorney
Garganese remarked, "And if you don't, does that mean you would have a lower tower?"
Ms. Solik said, "No."
With further discussion, Mr. Ruiz stated, "I have a lease rate negotiated with Verizon
[Wireless]. I have all the terms of the contract completely negotiated, the height on the
Tower they want to go on, I mean everything has been done. They are just absolutely
waiting to go on. And I can say the same for every other tenant." Commissioner Krebs
asked, "Cingular [Wireless] - you have one - AT&T." Mr. Ruiz responded, "Yes, I have
spoken with Mr. Bruce Cook recently and we have everything worked out - Cingular
[Wireless] has said they want to go on it."
"I AM WILLING TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE GO WITH ITEM 3. AT A
HEIGHT OF LESS THAN 150 FEET (150'), AND SO I SUGGEST 130 FEET
(130')." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER KREBS.
MAYOR BUSH ASKED, "DOES THAT INCLUDE THE MOVING AT THE 100
FEET (100')?" COMMISSIONER KREBS STATED, "YES - AND ALL THE
OTHER ISSUES THAT WE SPOKE OF WHICH WOULD BE THE POLE
WRAPPED AND - THEN REMAINDER NEUTRAL GREY, BLACK FENCING,

on Mr. BrowrI's Coffee with Citizens and spoke highly of previous Police and Fire
Departments' emergency responses.
Mr. Tony Morasco, 1311 Deer Run Drive, Winter Springs, Florida: asked if billboards
could be removed.
Attorney Garganese said, "There are several billboards that are currently in Winter
Springs. They are all grandfathered in. There are no new billboards that are allowed by
Ordinance which the Commission adopted several years ago. Some of those billboards,
especially on the Scrimscher property, they will go away when that property gets
developed pursuant to a contractual agreement between the City and that property OwrIer.
Other billboards will only go away through attrition. If they are destroyed and then
cannot be rebuilt as a non-conforming structure. And, as you know, the State passed
some laws in the last couple of years that make it very expensive for municipalities to
compel the removal of billboards."
Mayor Bush suggested removing the name "Winter Springs" from the sign at the Winter

Telecommunications Tower, On A 70' x 70' Lease Site, At The Tuscawilla Country
Club (1500 Winter Springs Boulevard), In The Tuscawilla Planned Unit
Development (PUD).
Manager McLemore advised the City Commission that he had put information in the
Record and stated they were the "Key issues being the Florida Power and Light
alternative; the Land Use Settlement Agreement; the service deficiencies; proposed
coverage capacity; the lower - Tower technology; Tier One, Tier Two alternative sites;
visual aesthetics; property values; stealth design alternatives; noise; and transfer of
development rights which was entered into the Record by Mr. Gardner."

Ms. Solik stated, "The grey color, we can paint the tower whatever color you like. If you
want grey. We can paint it grey. If you want a black fence, we can do a black fence. We
will be landscaping around the outside of the fence. The landscaping is intended to grow
up to conceal the fence but if you want a black fence, we'll do that."
Regarding a possible change in height, Ms. Solik noted, "I put in the Record evidence of
four (4) Leases with four (4) separate carriers, two (2) letters of intent, that gets you up to
six (6), and then the Verizon [Wireless] letter which is not really a letter of intent but it's
a letter of interest, which is their standard corporate policy. Every single slot - available
slot on this Tower is spoken for."
Discussion.
Mayor Bush called a Recess at 7:54 p.m.
The Regular Meeting was called back to Order at 8: 11 p. m.
Ms. Solik stated, "I think I had told you before the break; we'll change the color; we can
put a black fence in; we just cannot agree to lower the height because it really does
eliminate a couple of carriers."
Mayor Bush asked Ms. Solik, "If the Country Club owner was in agreement to moving it
the 100 feet (100')", as has been suggested by Commissioner Krebs?" Ms. Solik said,
"This is moving it 100 feet (100')", down the driving range." Commissioner Krebs noted,
"It's in the treeline." Ms. Solik stated, "So, we're moving it northeast..." Commissioner
Gilmore remarked, "... Towards the clubhouse." Ms. Solik added, "My client is willing
to explore that."
Mr. Mike Gardner, General Manager, Tuscawilla Country Club, 1500 Winter Springs
Boulevard, Winter Springs, Florida: remarked, "I don't foresee a problem with this,
moving it a 100 feet (100'), but - something of this nature I still need the final approval
from the ownership."

Commissioner Brown said to Mr. Gardner, "The opposition to the height has been
seconded only by the opposition to continue residential development in the Country Club
proper. With the approval of the Cell Tower if that happens, would the Country Club be
willing as part of the renegotiation or the modification of the Settlement Agreement to
look at a conservation..." Mr. Gardner noted, ".. . Absolutely ..." Commissioner Brown
continued, "...Overlay." Mr. Gardner then said, "That's one of our major plans when
moving forward with the development is to transmit development rights and put a
Conservation Easement on that large tract of land which has currently has conceptual
plan for development."
The proposed leases were further discussed with Commissioner Krebs saying, "You had
made comment that you - have four (4) -leases." Ms. Solik stated, "T-Mobile, metroPCS
[Inc.], Clearwire [US LLC] - three (3) leases, I'm sorry. Sprint, three (3) letters of intent;
Sprint is taking two (2) heights; and Verizon [Wireless]."
Restating, Ms. Solik commented, "T-Mobile, metroPCS [Inc.], Clearwire [US LLC]..."
Commissioner Krebs said, ".. . Are the only three (3) that you have commitments for,
right?" Ms. Solik explained, "We have letters of intent from Sprint for two (2) slots."
Commissioner Krebs said, "T-Mobile, Clearwire [US LLC], and metro[PCS Inc.] have
made commitments..." Ms. Solik noted, "... Have signed leases." Ms. Solik noted that
"Verizon's [Wireless] corporate policy is they won't sign a letter of intent and they won't
sign a lease prior to Zoning approval, if they are not the anchor tenant on the Tower - but
they have expressed interest."
Furthermore, Ms. Solik explained, "We submitted in our original application package
which is part of your - the Record, the applications those companies have filed with
Vertex, to secure a slot on the pole." Commissioner Krebs noted, "We didn't get copies
in our packet." Ms. Solik stated, "You didn't. I put a complete package - copy of the
Application in the Record at the first Hearing, and I have referenced that a couple of
times - that - we have communications and interest from every licensed carrier in the
marketplace."
Mr. Ruiz explained further, "Going down the line, we have a signed lease from T-Mobile.
We have a letter of interest from Verizon [Wireless], Sprint and Nextel has submitted a
letter of intent as well, and they are - taking up two (2) slots."
Continuing, Mr. Ruiz noted, "Then we have metroPCS [Inc.] who has a signed lease;
Cingular [Wireless] who has testified before you that they need the Tower and they've
also submitted propagation maps; and then metroPCS [Inc.] has a signed lease as well.
So those are all the licensed carriers. They either have signed leases - they have all
submitted Applications and the ones that don't have signed leases have letters of intent or
letter of interest."

Attorney Garganese said "You said metroPCS [Inc.] twice." Mr. Ruiz remarked,
"Clearwire [US LLC] - as Mr. Garganese pointed out I said metro[PCS Inc.] twice; and
it's metro[PCS Inc.] once, and Clearwire [US LLC] once. So the signed leases once
again are T-Mobile, metro[PCS Inc.], and Clearwire [US LLC]."
Attorney Garganese then said, "If you receive zoning approval, how long do you think it
would take for Verizon [Wireless], Sprint, and Cingular [Wireless] to notify whether or
not you have firm commitments on that Tower? Tomorrow?" Mr. Ruiz responded, "Yes
- very quickly."
Discussion followed on possible changes in carriers if the proposed Cell Tower were
approved at a shorter height.
Commissioner Brown asked, "This Tower at 150 feet (150') is speculative except for one
(1) major carrier who is signed up. The other two (2) players are not major players in the
market. So, do we have a guarantee that these guys are coming on board?" Ms. Solik
responded, "Yes - we would submit to a condition that we have three (3) carriers, three
(3) major carriers in three (3) months. You will have them before then."
Mr. Ruiz added, "I would say that we definitely have two (2) major carriers with T-
Mobile and metroPCS [Inc.] signed up."
Furthermore, Ms. Solik noted, "Signed tenant leases within ninety (90) days." Attorney
Garganese remarked, "And if you don't, does that mean you would have a lower tower?"
Ms. Solik said, "No."
With further discussion, Mr. Ruiz stated, "I have a lease rate negotiated with Verizon
[Wireless]. I have all the terms of the contract completely negotiated, the height on the
Tower they want to go on, I mean everything has been done. They are just absolutely
waiting to go on. And I can say the same for every other tenant." Commissioner Krebs
asked, "Cingular [Wireless] - you have one - AT&T." Mr. Ruiz responded, "Yes, I have
spoken with Mr. Bruce Cook recently and we have everything worked out - Cingular
[Wireless] has said they want to go on it."

DOESN'T MATTER - BEING WHITE - IT'S GOING TO BE UNOBTRUSIVE IN
A COUPLE OF WEEKS ANYWAY, SO I WILL NOT INCLUDE THE COLOR

MR. PETERS STATED, "SUBJECT TO RE-READING MY LETTER, I THINK I
SAID I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSIDER THEN."
DEPUTY MAYOR McGINNIS ADDED, "NEUTRAL GREY." DEPUTY MAYOR
McGINNIS THEN STATED, "SO THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION."
FURTHERMORE, DEPUTY MAYOR McGINNIS POINTED OUT, "THAT ALL
THE ANTENNA AND WIRING ARE CONCEALED WITHIN THE POLE."
ATTORNEY GARGANESE EXPLAINED, "JUST SO IT IS CLEAR - ALL THE
CONDITIONS THAT YOU IMPOSED UNDER THE 'CONDITIONAL USE'
HEARING WOULD APPLY. WHAT I AM HEARING IS THAT MAYBE
THERE IS A MODIFICATION TO THAT, THAT THERE WOULD BE A
CONCEALED WRAP..." DEPUTY MAYOR McGINNIS SAID, "...CORRECT."
CONTINUING, ATTORNEY GARGANESE COMMENTED, "...OR
CAMOUFLAGE WRAP; IT WOULD JUST BE A NEUTRAL GREY. FOR THE
RECORD, THE APPLICANT SAID HE WOULD PAINT THE POLE ANY
COLOR AND WE'RE ALL ASSUMING THAT NEUTRAL GREY IS THE
COLOR, BUT MAYBE ONCE THEY GET IT UP, MAYBE IT'S NOT THE BEST
COLOR."
MAYOR BUSH COMMENTED, "THE QUALITY OF THE PAINT YOU'RE
GOING TO USE IS GOING TO STICK?"
MS. SOLIK RESPONDED, "IT'LL STICK AND IF - THIS IS A CONDITIONAL
USE, IF THE PAINT IS PEELING, YOU SITE THEM FOR VIOLATION OF
THE CODE. IT'S ALSO PART OF OUR LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE
COUNTRY CLUB THAT THE TOWER BE MAINTAINED IN GOOD
CONDITION, SO THERE IS ANOTHER LEVEL OF ENFORCEMENT THERE."
