Manager McLemore said, "A question came up about the Commission's intention to go
forward with an Appeal of the Administrative Law Judges opinion on a lawsuit that we
filed for sanctions against the Highlands, and the Court denied us any compensation in
that situation of the monies we had spent defending that lawsuit. So, the question was, is
the Commission satisfied with this issue now or does the Commission desire to go
forward with some type of Appeal. And, the City Attorney and I just need to know what
your current thinking on that is. Because the question has been asked by the people there
and we need to give them some kind of an answer."

600. Community Development Department
Requests The Commission Consider A Conceptual Development Plan For A 60 Unit
Condominium Development On A Portion Of 135.56 Acres (According To The
Application), Located On The South Side Of Winter Springs Boulevard, Adjacent
To Howell Creek, Within The Tuscawilla Golf And Country Club And The
Tuscawilla Planned Unit Development (PUD). Staff Estimates The Parcel Size To
Be Approximately 10 Acres.
Mr. Randy Stevenson, ASLA, AICP, Director, Community Development Department
presented this Agenda Item and displayed a presentation.
Discussion.
Commissioner Krebs stated, "My concern right now is the density issue and I don't know
if the Developer has had an opportunity to talk to the citizens in Tuscawilla to find out
what it is they would like to see in their development as well - and we have had
charettes, are we planning one of those?"
Mr. Stevenson stated, "Had not planned one at this point." Manager McLemore noted,
"It wouldn't be the City's responsibility to do that." Commissioner Krebs added,
"Usually we encourage it."
Commissioner Gilmore stated, "Mike Gardner from the Country Club has told me that he
is planning to hold a session with members of the Club and with the Tusacawilla
Homeowner's Association and the community - separate sessions."
Mr. Michael Gardner, General Manager, Tuscawilla Country Club, 1500 Winter Springs
Boulevard, Winter Springs, Florida: addressed the City Commission and stated,
"Absolutely. Our goal is to meet with our membership and one of the right forms is in
person or with a letter. At this point - we need to get some clarification on the Settlement
Agreement, Conceptual Plans, and the Architectural Plans." Mr. Gardner added, "And
then the next step would be also to meet with the HOA (Homeowner's Association)
Board. "

Commissioner Miller spoke of his concern with three (3) units being in the floodway.
Tape 2/Side B
Mayor Bush asked, "Is there any way that - on Parcel 8, those single family homes area
can be designated so they can never be built." Attorney Garganese stated, "Yes, there is
a way - it would be a 'Perpetual Conservation Easement', and Florida Law permits an
Owner to grant a 'Perpetual Easement', but if you want another checks and balance to
whether or not you can unilaterally release it, is that you grant the Easement to other
parties. "
Mr. Dave Schmitt, Dave Schmitt Engineering, Inc., 13013 Founders Square Drive,
Orlando, Florida: commented that, "It is thirty-five feet (35') - thirty-five feet (35') to
between the right-of-way and the back of the building." Commissioner Gilmore said,
"From the right-of-way. There are no sidewalks on that side, I don't believe." Mr.
Schmitt said, "Correct."
Mr. Stevenson said, "I think what he is saying, it is thirty-five feet (35') from the back of
the building to the property line... Mr. Schmitt noted, "... Correct..." Mr. Stevenson
continued, ".. . And then another probably twenty-five (25') or thirty feet (30') to the
property line to the edge of the pavement."
Commissioner Gilmore asked, "How compatible is that going to be to the
'neighborhood'." Mr. Schmitt said, "It should be consistent with the - primarily the piece
to the east. Those are actually I think even closer to the right-of-way." Commissioner
Gilmore asked, "Isn't there a wall there..." Mr. Schmitt said, ".. . Beyond the creek
where the single family lots are?" Commissioner Gilmore said, "I think there is a wall in
there on the other side of the creek." Commissioner Gilmore said, "Chelsea Park." Mr.
Schmitt said, "I have pictures. I will go back and confirm that."
Commissioner Gilmore said, "I have a concern about how close that is. I also have some
concerns about the wetlands - if we permit to fill in this area that is shown in Phase I,
what is that going to do as far as backing up water in the event of this heavy storm and
now we have created a dam which is going to back it up further to the south and
potentially flooding into Chelsea Park."
Mr. Schmitt said, "There are a couple of issues. Let me explain - one is the floodway
issue that we are going to do a LOMR (Letter of Map Revision) based on existing topo."
Continuing, Mr. Schmitt said, "That creek is not linear through there. It meanders like
this - the floodway actually does the same thing. So we are going to remap with FEMA
(Federal Emergency Management Agency) that floodway which was what Brian (Fields)
was talking about. Then there is the flood plain encroachments, which is what we're
going to mitigate. We are not going to mitigate any floodway. We are going to stay out
of the floodway.

That last building in Phase II when we are done with FEMA (Federal Emergency
Management Agency) and the City, that will be outside of the actual floodway. The
flood plain encroachments we will mitigate. As Brian said we have to mitigate to make
sure the velocity, the elevations and the flow are not anything greater than what is there.
Actually, we are going to overcompensate because talking to Kip (Lockcuff) and Brian
(Fields), we understand there are drainage issues in that area anyway.
So, we are going to provide the additional extra compensatory storage, not only linear
here but down towards the golf course to provide that extra storage that's needed in that
area. So, I think you are going to end up with a better situation at the end of the day with
the extra capacity in your compensatory storage ponds as well as along the creek."
Commissioner Gilmore asked, "How does the water get into the storage ponds?" Mr.
Schmitt said, "It all flows from the south to the north so, when it backs up its going to
back into - all the drainage from the site is going to go to this pond. The compensatory
storage ponds are purposely for the creek, for any backups. We're actually going to be
intercepting some of the flow that's coming this way before it gets here.
We've also discussed with Brian (Fields) and Kip (Lockcuff) the fact that we have to
make sure in this area, that we don't have any increase in stage or velocity or flow.
We're going to do cross sections between here, here, probably four (4) or five (5) cross
sections to make sure that each one of those requirements is met in each one of those
areas and that the flow velocity and elevation is either at or below what it currently is and
that's going to be our proof to show that we are not adversely affecting it and actually are
going to hopefully improve it, is what the plan is."
Commissioner Gilmore asked, "How does this impact the number 10 fairway?" Mr.
Schmitt stated, "It actually improves the value and is more aesthetically pleasing to play
with more water features."
Discussion.
With further comments, Mr. Schmitt said, "The flow, we cannot change the velocity,
elevation, or volume of flow through the creek, so even during a hurricane event, we
can't allow it to increase more than it does right now. But, what we can do is intercept
some of that and have some of that water back up. As it stages up, it can back up into
those 100 hundred year ponds."
Commissioner Miller asked, "How much water is that going to hold?" Mr. Schmitt said,
"At a couple of feet deep it's going to help. And there is more to compensate for flood
plain again, it doesn't compensate for floodway, just for the flood plain. And the whole
purpose of the flood plain, is water is spreading out and backing up and spraying out
across the property."

Commissioner Miller asked, "And the storm pond, I guess has been well thought
through? You've actually looked at the sites encroaching on the flood plain there,
because that is going to be a significant wall." Mr. Schmidt said, "We do have
geotechnical information and we've done some preliminary drainage. We haven't done
any final drainage or FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) modeling or any
of that yet, we're just on preliminary drainage."
Manager McLemore spoke to Mr. Lockcuff for the Record about the bridge elevation.
Mr. Lockcuff stated, "We never had a problem with that bridge"
"I AM MAKING A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THIS ITEM WITH
PROVISIONS. FIRST, THAT THE CITY AND THE GOLF COURSE MUST
REACH AN AGREEMENT ON TURNING, PUTTING UNIT 8, I BELIEVE IT IS,
INTO CONSERVATION AND TRANSFER THE RIGHTS TO THE UNIT 7
AREA, AND THIS RIGHT HERE WOULD BE THE UNIT 8 AREA AND THAT
THAT WOULD BE PUT INTO CONSERVATION AS OTHER PARTS OF THE
COURSE OR THE OLD COURSE - IF IT BE AND I THINK YOU HAVE TO
WATCH VERY CAREFULLY PUTTING IT INTO THE ST. JOHN'S BECAUSE
- THE COUNTRY CLUB IS GOING TO HAVE TO MAINTAIN THIS AND
THAT RAISES ANOTHER QUESTION.
IF WE TURN THIS OVER TO THE ST. JOHN'S [RIVER] WATER
MANAGEMENT [DISTRICT], WHO MAINTAINS THAT PROPERTY?"
ATTORNEY GARGANESE SAID, "I WOULD SAY THE CLUB WOULD
MAINTAIN IT." COMMISSIONER GILMORE SAID, "BUT THAT HAS TO BE
WRITTEN INTO AN AGREEMENT." ATTORNEY GARGANESE SAID, "IT
WOULD BE IN THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT - RIGHT NOW IT IS
OWNED BY THE CLUB." COMMISSIONER GILMORE ADDED, "THE
MOTION IS THAT THAT WOULD BE PUT INTO - CONSERVATION."
MR. LOCKCUFF SAID, "THE DISTRICT DOES NOT OWN PROPERTY
ANYMORE, THEY JUST WANT THE EASEMENTS AND..."
COMMISSIONER GILMORE SAID, "...SO THEY WOULD JUST HAVE AN
EASEMENT."
CONTINUING, COMMISSIONER GILMORE SAID, "THE OTHER PART OF
THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE THAT WE WOULD NOT AT THIS POINT BE
PERMITTING THE CONSTRUCTION OR PERMITTING OF ANY
STRUCTURE THAT SITS IN THE FLOOD PLAIN UNTIL THOSE ISSUES ARE
RESOLVED - THAT WOULD APPLY TO THIS UNIT, THIS UNIT AND THIS
UNIT OR ANY OTHERS THAT SHOW UP WHEN YOU REDO YOUR FLOOD

ONE WAS THE CITY AND THE GOLF COURSE MUST AGREE ON
TRANSFERRING THE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS ON UNIT 8 - TO

MAKE THE UNIT 8 UNTOUCHABLE." COMMISSIONER GILMORE SAID,

UNIT 8 IS CONVERTED INTO CONSERVATION."

SURE YOU ALL REALIZE THEY ARE REMOVING TWO (2) OF THE TENNIS
COURTS - ONE (1) BATTERY CONSISTING OF TWO (2) TENNIS COURTS.
AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO REPLACE
THE ONE (1) BATTERY OF TWO (2) TENNIS COURTS WITH FOUR (4)
ADDITIONAL TENNIS COURTS. CORRECT?"
Mr. Tom Corkery, 759 Bear Creek Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: said, "Correct."
Mr. Corkery explained, "We're going to take one (1) tennis court out, one battery they
call it - which is two (2) tennis courts within one (1), and replace with two (2) batteries.
So, right now, there is existing eight (8) tennis courts - when we're finished, there is
going to be ten (10)."
Discussion.
Furthermore, Mr. Corkery said, "I wanted to overcompensate so it helps it, it even gets
better than what it exists today. So, that is what 1 am going to attempt to do with this
project.
So, if 1 can take these nine and a half (9 Y2) acres and develop this, mitigate three and a
half (3 Y2) acres of the worst - and save the jewel of thirty (30) to forty (40) acres for a
recreational space which 1 believe we should protect here as much as we can also, to save
those trees there - to whatever endangered species may be there because the soils aren't
wet, they're beautiful soils."
Mr. Corkery added, "There is a value to this Settlement Agreement and it's financed with
the bank. They are going to get a release from the bank. There is a value to that, a great
value and these owners of the Club have agreed with me that they will walk away from
that to do the sixty (60) townhome units." .

601. Office Of The City Attorney
Requests That The City Commission Consider Approval Of A Final Development
Order For Vertex Development's Telecommunications Tower Conditional Use
Permit For The Property Located At Tuscawilla Country Club.
Attorney Garganese stated, "I passed out this evening a draft Development Order. There
was one (1) change that 1 penciled in from what 1 completed. All this Order does is it
memorializes in WTiting the decision that was made by the City Commission at the
August 27, 2007 Commission Meeting where you approved the ISO' unipole
Telecommunications Tower located generally on Parcel Number 8 that we just discussed;
and it's moving through the Development Order, it recognizes that you approved a
Conditional Use, a Site Plan, and Aesthetic Review - that is what Paragraph 1. states."
The proposed Development Order was covered further.
Mayor Bush asked, "Do we have anything in here that when this technology becomes
obsolete that they have to take the Tower down?" Attorney Garganese said, "No. That
was not discussed." Mayor Bush said, "I think we should." Commissioner Krebs said, "I
agree with you. We should have that language in here." With further comments,
Commissioner Krebs asked, "Can we put it in?"
Attorney Garganese remarked, "At this juncture, 1 don't think that would be appropriate
to add to the Order. With that said, we certainly need to go in and negotiate Amendments
to the Settlement Agreement. We could bring that issue up." Mayor Bush asked, "Does
the Commission want that done?" Commissioner Krebs stated, "Yes." No objections
were noted.
Commissioner Gilmore then asked Attorney Garganese, "My concern is in item 5., page
2, the 50' x 50' lease area, 1 think you need to give them leeway on that." Attorney
Garganese suggested, "Do you want to put' 50' x 50' foot lease area' or- 2,500 square
feet." Commissioner Gilmore added, "Or a comparable rectangular area." Furthermore,
Commissioner Gilmore suggested, "Or a comparable configuration."

Commissioner Miller spoke of his concern with three (3) units being in the floodway.
Tape 2/Side B
Mayor Bush asked, "Is there any way that - on Parcel 8, those single family homes area
can be designated so they can never be built." Attorney Garganese stated, "Yes, there is
a way - it would be a 'Perpetual Conservation Easement', and Florida Law permits an
Owner to grant a 'Perpetual Easement', but if you want another checks and balance to
whether or not you can unilaterally release it, is that you grant the Easement to other
parties."
Mr. Dave Schmitt, Dave Schmitt Engineering, Inc., 13013 Founders Square Drive,
Orlando, Florida: commented that, "It is thirty-five feet (35') - thirty-five feet (35') to
between the right-of-way and the back of the building." Commissioner Gilmore said,
"From the right-of-way. There are no sidewalks on that side, I don't believe." Mr.
Schmitt said, "Correct."
Mr. Stevenson said, "I think what he is saying, it is thirty-five feet (35') from the back of
the building to the property line... Mr. Schmitt noted, "...Correct..." Mr. Stevenson
continued, ". ..And then another probably twenty-five (25') or thirty feet (3D') to the
property line to the edge of the pavement."
Commissioner Gilmore asked, "How compatible is that going to be to the
'neighborhood'." Mr. Schmitt said, "It should be consistent with the - primarily the piece
to the east. Those are actually I think even closer to the right-of-way." Commissioner
Gilmore asked, "Isn't there a wall there..." Mr. Schmitt said, ".. . Beyond the creek
where the single family lots are?" Commissioner Gilmore said, "I think there is a wall in
there on the other side of the creek." Commissioner Gilmore said, "Chelsea Park." Mr.
Schmitt said, "I have pictures. I will go back and confirm that."
Commissioner Gilmore said, "I have a concern about how close that is. I also have some
concerns about the wetlands - if we permit to fill in this area that is shown in Phase I,
what is that going to do as far as backing up water in the event of this heavy storm and
now we have created a dam which is going to back it up further to the south and
potentially flooding into Chelsea Park."
Mr. Schmitt said, "There are a couple of issues. Let me explain - one is the floodway
issue that we are going to do a LOMR (Letter of Map Revision) based on existing topo."
Continuing, Mr. Schmitt said, "That creek is not linear through there. It meanders like
this - the floodway actually does the same thing. So we are going to remap with FEMA
(Federal Emergency Management Agency) that floodway which was what Brian (Fields)
was talking about. Then there is the flood plain encroachments, which is what we're
going to mitigate. We are not going to mitigate any floodway. We are going to stay out
of the floodway.

CITY COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING - SEPTEMBER 10, 2007

That last building in Phase II when we are done with FEMA (Federal Emergency
Management Agency) and the City, that will be outside of the actual floodway. The
flood plain encroachments we will mitigate. As Brian said we have to mitigate to make
sure the velocity, the elevations and the flow are not anything greater than what is there.
Actually, we are going to overcompensate because talking to Kip (Lockcuff) and Brian
(Fields), we understand there are drainage issues in that area anyway.
So, we are going to provide the additional extra compensatory storage, not only linear
here but down towards the golf course to provide that extra storage that's needed in that
area. So, I think you are going to end up with a better situation at the end of the day with
the extra capacity in your compensatory storage ponds as well as along the creek."
Commissioner Gilmore asked, "How does the water get into the storage ponds?" Mr.
Schmitt said, "It all flows from the south to the north so, when it backs up its going to
back into - all the drainage from the site is going to go to this pond. The compensatory
storage ponds are purposely for the creek, for any backups. We're actually going to be
intercepting some ofthe flow that's coming this way before it gets here.
We've also discussed with Brian (Fields) and Kip (Lockcuff) the fact that we have to
make sure in this area, that we don't have any increase in stage or velocity or flow.
We're going to do cross sections between here, here, probably four (4) or five (5) cross
sections to make sure that each one of those requirements is met in each one of those
areas and that the flow velocity and elevation is either at or below what it currently is and
that's going to be our proofto show that we are not adversely affecting it and actually are
going to hopefully improve it, is what the plan is."
Commissioner Gilmore asked, "How does this impact the number 10 fairway?" Mr.
Schmitt stated, "It actually improves the value and is more aesthetically pleasing to play
with more water features."
Discussion.
With further comments, Mr. Schmitt said, "The flow, we cannot change the velocity,
elevation, or volume of flow through the creek, so even during a hurricane event, we
can't allow it to increase more than it does right now. But, what we can do is intercept
some of that and have some of that water back up. As it stages up, it can back up into
those 100 hundred year ponds."
Commissioner Miller asked, "How much water is that going to hold?" Mr. Schmitt said,
"At a couple of feet deep it's going to help. And there is more to compensate for flood
plain again, it doesn't compensate for floodway, just for the flood plain. And the whole
purpose of the flood plain, is water is spreading out and backing up and spraying out
across the property."

Commissioner Miller asked, "And the storm pond, I guess has been well thought
through? You've actually looked at the sites encroaching on the flood plain there,
because that is going to be a significant wall." Mr. Schmidt said, "We do have
geotechnical information and we've done some preliminary drainage. We haven't done
any final drainage or FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) modeling or any
ofthat yet, we're just on preliminary drainage."
Manager McLemore spoke to Mr. Lockcuff for the Record about the bridge elevation.

- THE COUNTRY CLUB IS GOING TO HAVE TO MAINTAIN THIS AND
THAT RAISES ANOTHER QUESTION.
IF WE TURN THIS OVER TO THE ST. JOHN'S [RIVER] WATER
MANAGEMENT [DISTRICT], WHO MAINTAINS THAT PROPERTY?"
ATTORNEY GARGANESE SAID, "I WOULD SAY THE CLUB WOULD
MAINTAIN IT." COMMISSIONER GILMORE SAID, "BUT THAT HAS TO BE
WRITTEN INTO AN AGREEMENT." ATTORNEY GARGANESE SAID, "IT
WOULD BE IN THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT - RIGHT NOW IT IS
OWNED BY THE CLUB." COMMISSIONER GILMORE ADDED, "THE
MOTION IS THAT THAT WOULD BE PUT INTO - CONSERVATION."
MR. LOCKCUFF SAID, "THE DISTRICT DOES NOT OWN PROPERTY
ANYMORE, THEY JUST WANT THE EASEMENTS AND..."
COMMISSIONER GILMORE SAID, "...SO THEY WOULD JUST HAVE AN
EASEMENT."
CONTINUING, COMMISSIONER GILMORE SAID, "THE OTHER PART OF
THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE THAT WE WOULD NOT AT THIS POINT BE
PERMITTING THE CONSTRUCTION OR PERMITTING OF ANY
STRUCTURE THAT SITS IN THE FLOOD PLAIN UNTIL THOSE ISSUES ARE
RESOLVED - THAT WOULD APPLY TO THIS UNIT, THIS UNIT AND THIS
UNIT OR ANY OTHERS THAT SHOW UP WHEN YOU REDO YOUR FLOOD
PLAIN DRAWINGS WHICH I UNDERSTAND FROM THE ENGINEER IS IN
PROCESS, RIGHT?"

MR. FIELDS SAID, "THIS IS THE NEW MAP." COMMISSIONER GILMORE
THEN SAID, "THIS UNIT, THIS UNIT, AND THIS UNIT WOULD HAVE TO
WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE RESOLVED ANY ISSUES AND YOU UNDERTAND
WHAT IS GOING ON." MR. FIELDS SAID, "POTENTIALLY OTHERS
DEPENDING ON HOW THE SITE IS GRADED." COMMISSIONER GILMORE
STATED, "YES. A LOT OF ISSUES RELATIVE TO THAT. ANOTHER ISSUE
THAT I AM GOING TO PUT IN HERE AND THIS MAYBE IS EARLY IN THE
GAME, BUT I EXPECT A BUFFER, PROBABLY A WALL BUFFER ALONG
THIS AREA AT WINTER SPRINGS BOULEVARD."
COMMISSIONER MILLER NOTED, "A BRICK WALL." COMMISSIONER
GILMORE SAID, "YES, COMPATIBLE WITH THE OTHER WALLS IN THE
AREA. WE HAVE THOSE WALLS ON THE OTHER UNITS. THAT IS MY
MOTION." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER GILMORE.
MAYOR BUSH COMMENTED ON THE MOTION AND SAID, "THE FIRST
ONE WAS THE CITY AND THE GOLF COURSE MUST AGREE ON
TRANSFERRING THE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS ON UNIT 8 - TO
CONSERVATION AND TRANSFER THESE RIGHTS TO UNIT 7 AND TO
MAKE THE UNIT 8 UNTOUCHABLE." COMMISSIONER GILMORE SAID,
"THE BUILDING RIGHTS ON UNIT 8 ARE TRANSFERRED TO UNIT 7 AND
UNIT 8 IS CONVERTED INTO CONSERVATION."
FURTHERMORE, MAYOR BUSH NOTED, "AND THE SECOND POINT, ANY
OF THE STRUCTURES THAT SHOW ON THIS DRAWING HERE IN THE
FLOOD PLAIN WHICH ARE THREE (3) UNITS OR COULD BE MORE,
DEPENDING ON THE SITE AS GRADED ACCORDING TO BRIAN (FIELDS), I
THINK I HEARD YOU SAY THAT, THAT WOULD BE WITHHELD UNTIL A
LATER TIME AND THE THIRD THING IS THE WALL BUFFER ON WINTER
SPRINGS BOULEVARD."
MANAGER McLEMORE SAID, "VERIFICATION ON THE MOTION MR.
MAYOR, I AM ASSUMING THAT THAT INCLUDES ALL THE CONDITIONS
LAID OUT IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ALSO." COMMISSIONER
GILMORE SAID, "YES. I THINK THAT ALSO IN THIS DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT YOU ARE GOING TO INCORPORATE THE CELL TOWER
WHICH IN FACT WILL BE IN THE UNIT 8 AREA. IS THAT CORRECT?"

THAT ISSUE."
SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MILLER. DISCUSSION.
ATTORNEY GARGANESE SAID, "I THINK IT IS UNDERSTOOD, BUT I AM
SURE YOU ALL REALIZE THEY ARE REMOVING TWO (2) OF THE TENNIS
COURTS - ONE (1) BATTERY CONSISTING OF TWO (2) TENNIS COURTS.
AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO REPLACE
THE ONE (1) BATTERY OF TWO (2) TENNIS COURTS WITH FOUR (4)
ADDITIONAL TENNIS COURTS. CORRECT?"
Mr. Tom Corkery, 759 Bear Creek Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: said, "Correct."
Mr. Corkery explained, "We're going to take one (1) tennis court out, one battery they
call it - which is two (2) tennis courts within one (1), and replace with two (2) batteries.
So, right now, there is existing eight (8) tennis courts - when we're finished, there is
going to be ten (10)."
Discussion.
Furthermore, Mr. Corkery said, "I wanted to overcompensate so it helps it, it even gets
better than what it exists today. So, that is what I am going to attempt to do with this
project.
So, if I can take these nine and a half (9 Y2) acres and develop this, mitigate three and a
half (3 Y2) acres of the worst - and save the jewel of thirty (30) to forty (40) acres for a
recreational space which I believe we should protect here as much as we can also, to save
those trees there - to whatever endangered species may be there because the soils aren't
wet, they're beautiful soils."
Mr. Corkery added, "There is a value to this Settlement Agreement and it's financed with
the bank. They are going to get a release from the bank. There is a value to that, a great
value and these owners of the Club have agreed with me that they will walk away from
that to do the sixty (60) townhome units."

REGULAR
601. Office Of The City Attorney
Requests That The City Commission Consider Approval Of A Final Development
Order For Vertex Development's Telecommunications Tower Conditional Use
Permit For The Property Located At Tuscawilla Country Club.
Attorney Garganese stated, "I passed out this evening a draft Development Order. There
was one (1) change that I penciled in from what I completed. All this Order does is it
memorializes in writing the decision that was made by the City Commission at the
August 27, 2007 Commission Meeting where you approved the 150' unipole
Telecommunications Tower located generally on Parcel Number 8 that we just discussed;
and it's moving through the Development Order, it recognizes that you approved a
Conditional Use, a Site Plan, and Aesthetic Review - that is what Paragraph 1. states."
The proposed Development Order was covered further.
Mayor Bush asked, "Do we have anything in here that when this technology becomes
obsolete that they have to take the Tower down?" Attorney Garganese said, "No. That
was not discussed." Mayor Bush said, "I think we should." Commissioner Krebs said, "I
agree with you. We should have that language in here." With further comments,
Commissioner Krebs asked, "Can we put it in?"
Attorney Garganese remarked, "At this juncture, I don't think that would be appropriate
to add to the Order. With that said, we certainly need to go in and negotiate Amendments
to the Settlement Agreement. We could bring that issue up." Mayor Bush asked, "Does
the Commission want that done?" Commissioner Krebs stated, "Yes." No objections
were noted.
Commissioner Gilmore then asked Attorney Garganese, "My concern is in item 5., page
2, the 50' x 50' lease area, I think you need to give them leeway on that." Attorney
Garganese suggested, "Do you want to put '50' x 50' foot lease area' or - 2,500 square
feet." Commissioner Gilmore added, "Or a comparable rectangular area." Furthermore,
Commissioner Gilmore suggested, "Or a comparable configuration."

Mayor Bush then commented, "Would the same thing apply to the 1 00' - would you say
approximately 1 00', give or take?"
Attorney Garganese then said "There will be some modifications, and the Manager can
approve them administratively providing they are consistent with this" and suggested, "I
can put 'Or an equivalent area' - to sub-paragraph 5., that addresses the lease area."
Attorney Garganese then said, "And the other was the hundred foot (100'), do you want
to add 'Approximate' to that'?" Commissioner Krebs said, "Not less than."
Discussion.
Tape 3/Side A
Mayor Bush said, "And the only other thing Anthony (Garganese), I guess what the
Commission is saying is the removal of it, at some point we need to address that
sometime in the future. You said that would be done with the Settlement Agreement?"
Attorney Garganese said, "We'll try and attempt to raise that during the Settlement
Agreement discussions."
"I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT
ORDER WITH THE CHANGES JUST NOTED BY THE ATTORNEY AND
ALSO TO MAKE IT PART OF THE RECORD, HIS MEMORANDUM DATED
SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2007 WHICH IS ATTACHMENT TO ITEM '601'."
