Commissioner Martinez asked Mr. Farwell, "Are there any plans to expand towards
Winter Springs?" Mr. Farwell replied, "Yes sir. There are. In the long range plan, we
have routes that will extend east/west into Winter Springs, and I would be happy to bring

II. PUBLIC INPUT
Mr. Roger Cooper, 313 Twelve Oaks Drive, Winter Springs. Florida: asked if an
informational letter from the City could be sent to the Winding Hollow Board of
Directors of their Homeowner's Association. Discussion.
Commissioner David W" McLeod stated, "I take it Ron, our Parks and Recreational
Department aren't involved in this, are they?" Manager McLemore stated, "Not to my
knowledge." Commissioner McLeod further stated, "I would set that record straight
first. "
Mayor Partyka stated, "City Manager, it looks like the majority - agree. Let's set the
record straight with a short letter." Manager McLemore said, "I would like to include
this map though. I think we should make it very clear what it is we are saying we are not
doing, and I think we should make sure that this map is included, and say 'this is not a
plan or presentation of the City of Winter Springs.'"
Deputy Mayor Gennell added, "Well you make sure that you point out - that it wasn't
originated by us, and we have no idea where it came from"" Manager McLemore agreed
and said, "I think that it is important that we do that."
Commissioner Robert S. Miller stated, "That was why I brought up the original map,
because there is obviously a lot of misinfonnation going on with this map, and I don't
know how this misinformation started in Winding Hollow." Commissioner Miller further
stated, "That's why - the original map would show where it was, and this is obviously a
false document. So, put both of them in there, Exhibit 'A' and Exhibit 'B.' Exhibit 'A'
being what we originally thought about, and Exhibit 'B,' put out by some anonymous
person. "
Mayor Partyka stated, "Does this Commission agree to let the City Manager do what is
right, based on our comments there." This was agreed to by the Commission.
Mr. Mervin Werner, 673 Keuka Court. Winter Springs, Florida: Spoke about the
retention pond in Wicklow Greens.

Mayor Partyka said, "The key word is 'lot,' instead of 'front yard. '" Commissioner
Blake added, "Instead of in the 'front yard,' it's on the 'lot.'"
Commissioner McLeod asked, "Would you possibly - instead of saying 'lot,' call it the
'premises?'" Mayor Partyka asked Attorney Garganese, "Does it make a difference, Mr.
Garganese?" Attorney Garganese explained, "I think so. A 'lot' is another zoning
defined term and would include the four (4) corners of the property, the boundary of the
property. One thing I want to bring up, logically, what the Commission is trying to do by
using the term 'lot' makes a lot of sense, on a temporary basis, but, I'm not so sure that it
doesn't then conflict with sub-paragraph (a) which actually defines a permanent area to
store those types of vehicles in the rear and the side yard. And then your (b), your
temporary provision would encompass the entire property when you're already permitted
to permanently store those vehicles in the side yard and then in the rear yard."
"MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION TO TABLE
THIS ITEM UNTIL OUR NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING,
DURING WHICH TIME STAFF AND THE ATTORNEY WILL COME BACK
WITH APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE THAT BETTER DEFINES WHAT WE
ARE TRYING TO GET TO." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BLAKE.

Commissioner McLeod also inquired about a "Water stubout that was put on Winter
Springs Boulevard by the contractor on Tuscawilla," and then asked, 'Do you know if
that line has been moved yet, that was blocking the driveway?'" Mr. Lockcuff stated, "I
don't think it has been moved yet, though we did provide a letter authorizing the contract
to extend beyond the original contract." Mr. Lockcuff added, "I thought it was blocking
a potential driveway? It's in front of the empty lot, right?" Commissioner McLeod
agreed and said, "It is in front of the empty lot. It is where the person who owns that lot,
occasionally parks his vehicle in that particular area. It has been impossible to park in
there since the pipes were put there." Commissioner McLeod further stated, "So, I'd
hope that we take that up and have it moved before they complete Tuscawilla Road."

F. City Manager
Notifying The Mayor And Commission Of The Requirements Of Section 4.02. Of
The Charter Of The City Of Winter Springs As It Relates To Districting. Further,
The City Manager Is Requesting Guidance As It Relates To The Possibility Of The
Charter Review Committee Recommendation That The City Add A Sixth District
To The City.
Discussion.
Deputy Mayor Gennell asked Attorney Garganese, "On the Districting Committee, the
members of the Districting Committee can also be members of our other Boards because
this Districting Committee is just a short term thing. Is that correct?" Attorney
Garganese stated, "In this case, you have a Charter provision specifically relating to the
Districting Commission, and that says 'Electors chosen shall not be employed by the City
in any other capacity. ", Deputy Mayor Gennell further inquired, "So, then the question
becomes, 'Are our Board Members employees of the City?'"
Discussion. Regarding possible recommendations, Mayor Partyka stated, "The status
right now seems like at least three (3) people want the five (5) member districts - to go
on at that point, and let's wait until after the Charter Review is done." Mayor Partyka
further stated, "At this point, it seems like the input to the City Manager is that we just
concentrate on the current Districting Commission, and whenever it's appropriate, we'll
decide at that point in time."
Commissioner McLeod added that, "I think part of the consensus though Mayor, is that a
Staff member take a look at this thing, draw a line on a City map, and tell us what that
looks like."
With further discussion, Mayor Partyka then advised everyone, "So, your suggestion is
that we do come out with our nominations by January 8th. So that's a head-up."
Mayor Partyka then spoke about Deputy Mayor Gennell's request for information and
asked Attorney Garganese, "Can a person serve on this and any other Board?" Attorney
Garganese replied, "I would like a little time to think about that issue. You have until, no
later than January 22nd to make the appointments; preferably, I think Staff is
recommending January 8th. Let me think about that issue and get you an answer."
Mayor Partyka stated, "Just fax it in so we can pass it on to the Commission."
Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "So you will get back to me?" Attorney Garganese
replied, "My intentions are to get something to all the Commissioners and the Mayor, on
that very issue, in writing - sooner, rather than later."
