have to Transmit, come back for adoption, it would take us a couple of years to build. So

Ms. Furman stated, "First thing, I want to do is to disclose that I have had communication
with Commissioner [Sally] McGinnis; I believe Commissioner [Donald A.] Gilmore and
I spoke on the phone. Mayor, you and I spoke on the phone. Commissioner Blake, I
have also spoken to you. I just wanted to put that out there.
I also wanted to remind everyone, and I have got the name written down here, I believe
that Alisa Kaufman did a really good job of it, and that is that at this point, we are at a
Transmittal Hearing. Weare asking to Transmit a Comprehensive Plan Amendment that
Amends your Comprehensive Plan for this property from 'Industrial' to 'Medium
Density Residential'. So, things such as Mr. Clayton, he hasn't seen amenities. Well, we
have got a Concept Plan, where we're going to include significant amounts of amenities -
I don't know how he hasn't seen those things, maybe because there's been a serious lack
of communication. We've tried to respond to things; we held a Community meeting; we
informed the people at that time of our Concept Plan. Some of those things are a bit
premature at this point. We would be happy to put down all of our promises in the form
of a Developer's Agreement. We can work on that between now and Adoption. But,
again, this is a Transmittal for the DCA [Department of Community Affairs] to take a
look at this and to comment on it.
Your Vote tonight does not change your adopted Comprehensive Plan. It simply sends
this to the DCA [Department of Community Affairs] so they can Transmit for comment.
I appreciate, Mayor, you reading the letter from Seminole County into the Record. I also
wanted to read a letter from Mr. Dittmer, who we all know is the Property Owner; and
again, as Alisa [Kaufman] pointed out, we have a willing seller and so any discussions
tonight about the traffic that is going to be produced; the impacts this is going to have; a
lot of the people in our position are showing that as opposed to this land staying the same.
Is there going to be more traffic then there being nothing here? Yes. The question that is
before you is 'Is there going to be more traffic here as 'Residential' then there would be
as 'Industrial'? Mr. Dittmer is ready to sell this property. And, let me just read his
letter." Ms. Furman read the letter from Mr. Walt Dittmer.
Ms. Furman then said, "I wanted to introduce you to my client and that is the Keewin
Real Property Company. They have developed over 12,000 residential units, developed
and marketed, since 1978. They are high quality Developers. They are Developers and
Acquisition Partners for Universal Studios, Rollins College, Winter Park Memorial
Hospital, and Valencia Community College - as a member of the Central Florida
Community, we know the high standards that these Colleges and businesses would hold
someone that they go into a partnership to.
Some of the communities, and I've mentioned these before, so people could go check
them out - Windsong in Winter Park; the Landmark, which is a condominium project,
also in Winter Park.

I see that there are a few main concerns when you hear people talk about what they're
concerned about in this. And, I think those can be nailed down to traffic, schools, and
impact on property values. As far as traffic goes, I saw today, for the first time, the
handout that your City Engineer prepared, and handed out, I have not seen that before,
but I think that it very clearly demonstrates what we've tried to say. Which is, 'A
'Residential' Land-Use will not have the same traffic impacts both in daily trips, which is
the number over the entire day of trips that will be produced; nor does it have the same
a.m. and p.m. peak hour; which is really when you are trying to get to work or get home
and when you get the most frustrated about being in traffic. That's when 'Industrial'
shows, if you will see his Industrial Park numbers were almost double the a.m. peak hour
as the 'Residential' would be.
Another distinguishing factor in traffic is the type of traffic. 'Residential' obviously
brings the type of cars that we all drive, whereas, 'Industrial' will bring in who knows
what, it could be dump trucks, it could be delivery trucks, it could be 18-wheelers. And, I
don't understand the belief that 'Residential' will cut through on Sheoah [Boulevard], but
'Industrial' won't. I don't exactly understand that. And, those are the kinds of things
that we can look for and try to work with the Highlands in traffic reduction of cut-
through. But, we have not gotten to that point. We haven't even been able to Transmit
this to the DCA [Department of Community Affairs].
Your Staff Report says that there is capacity to handle this project on Shepard Road.
We'll make whatever necessary improvements there needs to be made to that. Once this
is transmitted to FDOT [Florida Department of Transportation], we'll have an
opportunity to comment on it. And, I also think importantly, we have gone to the CRA
[Community Redevelopment Agency] to talk to them and they said that Florida Avenue
would be upgraded if this was approved as a 'Residential' use."
Ms. Furman then spoke regarding Mr. Kosmac's comments and said, "As he mentioned,
we have agreed to give one thousand two hundred and thirty-five dollars ($1,235.00) per
unit on top of the Impact Fee. The Impact Fees for this is six hundred and thirty-nine
dollars ($639.00). When he was talking about the seventy-five (75), the number of
seventy-five (75) students using, I believe he used our 330 or 334 number. Again, that is
our proposed number, we think we can develop. We have done a further Concept Plan
where it brings us down to 317. It is a moving target right now. But, his impact numbers
are based on a generation rate - for this type of use. And, if the project were to have
around 330 units, as he said it would be about four hundred thousand dollars
($400,000.00) that we would give in addition to our Impact Fees. We would give those
at the issuance of the first building permit.

There has been some talk about the school gets the money after the need is there. Well, it
is going to take us approximately two (2) years to actually, once we pull a Building
Permit, to build this out. So, the School Board would have use of that money and of our
additional Impact Fees, which actually then adds up being more around a six hundred
thousand dollar ($600,000.00) figure. To do with how the School Board sees fit, whether
it's purchasing property for additional schools, or whatever, but that they would have the
use of that money.
The impact on property values seems to be very important, especially to the Wildwood
residents. They believe, and I think that they're right, that the 'Industrial' use will
continue to depress their values. The allegations that this is low income is completely
ludicrous. The people that are developing this are not in the business of developing low
income property. And, if there have been any allegations that the price has been one
thing and then it has been another and then it has been another, I'll take some of the
blame for that.
Putting a price on these units is very difficult at this time. We don't know what is going
to be in the future. And, you know, we've said that there - it would be an average of two
[hundred] twenty-five [thousand dollars] ($225,000.00), yes, there may be a smaller unit
that is two hundred [thousand dollars] ($200,000.00). There may be some units that are
two [hundred] seventy-five [thousand dollars] ($275,00) or higher than that. So, I mean
we can't make any promises on what we're going to sell these for. But they are certainly
not low income houses. And if they were low income, we would have actually - you
have to - apply to get funds to build the, because nobody can afford to build low income
anymore.
Some facts about the Wildwood property values - over the last two (2) years, the average
sales price for Wildwood Condominiums has been one hundred and twelve thousand
dollars ($112,000.00) and a hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00); and, for their
Wildwood Single Family Homes, have been at - one hundred and forty thousand dollars
($140,000.00). So, we believe that these high end, two-car garage, high quality
townhouses, are going to help the values in Wildwood; certainly more than use of an
'Industrial' property.
Recreational amenities - the idea that - people that live in our community aren't going to
use the pool and the cabana and the park that are right outside their door - in our latest
rendition of our Concept Plan, we're at almost fifty percent (50%) open face with pet
park, outdoor barbeques, picnic areas. We have got jogging trails; fitness courses;
gazebo in a lakeside park. The allegation that if you lived with brand new amenities that
you would get in your car and drive a couple of miles to go use someone else's stuff, I
cannot comprehend. We have talked about making this a gated community - we are
going to provide recreational amenities and this is going, the plan is going to come before
you all again. And, you can make sure that we do that to your liking.

As far as, the loss of, just the fact that it is 'Industrial' property and Mr. Moretti spoke to
the fact that he has a concern that, I mean certainly he is a Property Owner, and he has a
bundle of rights that go with his property and his ability to use that property and by
changing our Land-Use, our designation - from 'Industrial' to 'Residential' doesn't affect
his use of property. We have tried to work with Mr. Moretti to give him and these
assurances. I understand that he's concerned about noise. Well, you all have a Noise
Ordinance and if that Noise Ordinance is being broken - we can't promise him that no
one will have a concern with them. But, what we can say is that your Code and your
Comp [Comprehensive] Plan do not impose on him any greater burden for set-backs or
buffers or anything like that.
In addition, on our property what has been planned and what's been in the works for a
while - that I could just come up here and all of a sudden - change the Comp
[Comprehensive] Plan." Ms. Furman continued, "We have been talking to this City to
see what we can create that is compatible both to the side that's on Wildwood and the
side that is on these 'Industrial' uses.
And, one of the things that we have come up with that we would agree to put a six foot
(6') high wall on top of a five foot (5') high berm. It would have trees, shrubbery, and
most important to all trees and shrubs, some sort of - we'd have irrigation. So that on his
side, we would buffer our 'Residential' Use. Because again, we are going to be selling
these properties. And we do not want our potential buyers to come and tour it and look
over and see some of those properties. So we will make these compatible. We have also
agreed that in our Covenant, Conditions and Restrictions, commonly known as the
CCR's, we will include a disclosure of the adjacent 'Commercial' and 'Industrial' uses so
that our residents understand what they are moving in next to. Another property is the
commonly known as the Elsea property, which is the property to the south. At the
Planning and Zoning Meeting, a representative of the Elsea property opposed this for
reasons of compatibility and we offer to bring that property into our development and we
currently have a pending contract on that piece of property. City Staff has asked the
Developer today if we'd agree to also Transmit that along with this. And, we are okay
with doing that. And, that really wraps up how I wanted to respond to some of the things.
I appreciate your time and patience. I know that many of you were here also on Monday
[Tuesday, February 7, 2006] night when we tried to hold the Community meeting that we
thought the Highlands wanted. I contacted the Highlands in January and asked them if I
could use their meeting space to make it more convenient for the Highlands and I was
told that they no available meeting space in the evenings or on the weekends until the end
of February. So, that's when I then contacted the City and asked to use this."
Discussion.
Commissioner McGinnis asked the Developer, "What kind of a commitment would you
be willing to make for road improvements and enhancements if in fact once this goes for

Ms. Furman said, "I don't know exactly how to answer that as far as what would we
commit to - certainly, we have considered that we would have to do additional
improvements to turn lanes, maybe some types of intersection improvements - certainly,
to go forward once we have more in depth traffic analysis we will know what's required
to get to adequate levels of service. So if you are asking for specific improvements, we
can take those under consideration..." Commissioner McGinnis stated, "...But it is on
the Table?" Ms. Furman stated, "Yes."
Ms. Furman stated, "It is not just on the Table. We expect to do some type of
improvements." Commissioner McGinnis added, "And, of course, there has been no
Traffic Study done yet anyway. That will be done."
Furthermore, Commissioner McGinnis stated, "The buffer between your proposed
property and the rest of the 'Industrial' that fronts [Highway] 17-92..." Ms. Furman
stated, "...Between our property - to the west, that would be a six foot (6') high wall on
top of a five foot (5') high berm that would have landscape and shrubs that would be
irrigated."
Commissioner McGinnis said, "There was a Member here earlier from the P and Z Board
[Planning And Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency] who had suggested that perhaps it
is time for a new Visioning Workshop within the City which would help determine in
fact if we do need 'Industrial'. Although I too have been speaking to people about this
for several weeks, people are just stunned that 'Residential' would lower their property
values. There is a recorder here tonight, I am sure she has never been to a Commission
Meeting where people are fighting for 'Industrial'."

Commissioner Gilmore said, "Traffic we have heard a lot of and traffic is going to be an
issue no matter what is done out there. If it stays like it is traffic five (5) years from now
is still going to be a problem. And I think it is up to the City, the City Staff, and the
County to work things out so that it's acceptable. Furthermore, Commissioner Gilmore
added, Schools is a major problem. I just fear that we are adding more portables and this
is just a drop in the bucket. As near as I can see it is going to keep getting worse.
Whether we improve this or not, it's not going to have any affect on that. We need more
schools, probably smaller schools, neighborhood schools. But that is not our issue.
'Industrial' adjacent to Wildwood which Mr. Moretti brought up. He and I have talked
several times about it and I well understand it. The problem here is, it doesn't matter if
this stays 'Industrial', you are going still have 'Industrial' next to 'Residential'."

they are entirely manageable." Commissioner Krebs added, "Because it did - talk about

pretty logical, but I don't know if it was or not. So, I was just asking if it was fairly
accurate?" Manager McLemore said, "Some of the things we agree with some of the

The first being as we talked about previously, using the semi automated system, we will
provide each citizen with a ninety-six (96) gallon 'Toter' or roll-out 'Cart' - we will stay
with that. We will also offer a sixty-four (64) gallon 'Cart' to those citizens that feel like
the ninety-six (96) gallon 'Cart' may be too large or too cumbersome for their garage or
yard or what not, so the standard 'Cart' if you will, will be the ninety-six (96) gallon
option, with a sixty-four (64) gallon 'Cart' as a second or an alternative - no difference in
price by the way to the citizens or to our payment to Waste Pro. As a result of that, there
was some language in the Rate Resolution, a title, I had previously titled a line - ninety-
six (96) gallon 'Cart'. I just removed the ninety-six (96) gallon and simply said 'Cart'."

Ms. Furman stated, "First thing, I want to do is to disclose that I have had communication
with Commissioner [Sally] McGinnis; I believe Commissioner [Donald A.] Gilmore and
I spoke on the phone. Mayor, you and I spoke on the phone. Commissioner Blake, I
have also spoken to you. I just wanted to put that out there.
I also wanted to remind everyone, and I have got the name written doWfl here, I believe
that Alisa Kaufman did a really good job of it, and that is that at this point, we are at a
Transmittal Hearing. We are asking to Transmit a Comprehensive Plan Amendment that
Amends your Comprehensive Plan for this property from 'Industrial' to 'Medium
Density Residential'. So, things such as Mr. Clayton, he hasn't seen amenities. Well, we
have got a Concept Plan, where we're going to include significant amounts of amenities -
I don't know how he hasn't seen those things, maybe because there's been a serious lack
of communication. We've tried to respond to things; we held a Community meeting; we
informed the people at that time of our Concept Plan. Some of those things are a bit
premature at this point. We would be happy to put doWfl all of our promises in the form
of a Developer's Agreement. We can work on that between now and Adoption. But,
again, this is a Transmittal for the DCA [Department of Community Affairs] to take a
look at this and to comment on it.
Your Vote tonight does not change your adopted Comprehensive Plan. It simply sends
this to the DCA [Department of Community Affairs] so they can Transmit for comment.
I appreciate, Mayor, you reading the letter from Seminole County into the Record. I also
wanted to read a letter from Mr. Dittmer, who we all know is the Property OWfler; and
again, as Alisa [Kaufman] pointed out, we have a willing seller and so any discussions
tonight about the traffic that is going to be produced; the impacts this is going to have; a
lot of the people in our position are showing that as opposed to this land staying the same.
Is there going to be more traffic then there being nothing here? Yes. The question that is
before you is 'Is there going to be more traffic here as 'Residential' then there would be
as 'Industrial'? Mr. Dittmer is ready to sell this property. And, let me just read his
letter." Ms. Furman read the letter from Mr. Walt Dittmer.
Ms. Furman then said, "I wanted to introduce you to my client and that is the Keewin
Real Property Company. They have developed over 12,000 residential units, developed
and marketed, since 1978. They are high quality Developers. They are Developers and
Acquisition Partners for Universal Studios, Rollins College, Winter Park Memorial
Hospital, and Valencia Community College - as a member of the Central Florida
Community, we know the high standards that these Colleges and businesses would hold
someone that they go into a partnership to.

I see that there are a few main concerns when you hear people talk about what they're
concerned about in this. And, I think those can be nailed down to traffic, schools, and
impact on property values. As far as traffic goes, I saw today, for the first time, the
handout that your City Engineer prepared, and handed out, I have not seen that before,
but I think that it very clearly demonstrates what we've tried to say. Which is, 'A
'Residential' Land-Use will not have the same traffic impacts both in daily trips, which is
the number over the entire day of trips that will be produced; nor does it have the same
a.m. and p.m. peak hour; which is really when you are trying to get to work or get home
and when you get the most frustrated about being in traffic. That's when 'Industrial'
shows, if you will see his Industrial Park numbers were almost double the a.m. peak hour
as the 'Residential' would be.
Another distinguishing factor in traffic is the type of traffic. 'Residential' obviously
brings the type of cars that we all drive, whereas, 'Industrial' will bring in who knows
what, it could be dump trucks, it could be delivery trucks, it could be 18-wheelers. And, I
don't understand the belief that 'Residential' will cut through on Sheoah [Boulevard], but
'Industrial' won't. I don't exactly understand that. And, those are the kinds of things
that we can look for and try to work with the Highlands in traffic reduction of cut-
through. But, we have not gotten to that point. We haven't even been able to Transmit
this to the DCA [Department of Community Affairs].
Your Staff Report says that there is capacity to handle this project on Shepard Road.
We'll make whatever necessary improvements there needs to be made to that. Once this
is transmitted to FDOT [Florida Department of Transportation], we'll have an
opportunity to comment on it. And, I also think importantly, we have gone to the CRA
[Community Redevelopment Agency] to talk to them and they said that Florida Avenue
would be upgraded if this was approved as a 'Residential' use."
Ms. Furman then spoke regarding Mr. Kosmac's comments and said, "As he mentioned,
we have agreed to give one thousand two hundred and thirty-five dollars ($1,235.00) per
unit on top of the Impact Fee. The Impact Fees for this is six hundred and thirty-nine
dollars ($639.00). When he was talking about the seventy-five (75), the number of
seventy-five (75) students using, I believe he used our 330 or 334 number. Again, that is
our proposed number, we think we can develop. We have done a further Concept Plan
where it brings us down to 317. It is a moving target right now. But, his impact numbers
are based on a generation rate - for this type of use. And, if the project were to have
around 330 units, as he said it would be about four hundred thousand dollars
($400,000.00) that we would give in addition to our Impact Fees. We would give those
at the issuance of the first building permit.

There has been some talk about the school gets the money after the need is there. Well, it
is going to take us approximately two (2) years to actually, once we pull a Building
Permit, to build this out. So, the School Board would have use of that money and of our
additional Impact Fees, which actually then adds up being more around a six hundred
thousand dollar ($600,000.00) figure. To do with how the School Board sees fit, whether
it's purchasing property for additional schools, or whatever, but that they would have the
use of that money.
The impact on property values seems to be very important, especially to the Wildwood
residents. They believe, and I think that they're right, that the 'Industrial' use will
continue to depress their values. The allegations that this is low income is completely
ludicrous. The people that are developing this are not in the business of developing low
income property. And, if there have been any allegations that the price has been one
thing and then it has been another and then it has been another, I'll take some of the
blame for that.
Putting a price on these units is very difficult at this time. We don't know what is going
to be in the future. And, you know, we've said that there - it would be an average of two
[hundred] twenty-five [thousand dollars] ($225,000.00), yes, there may be a smaller unit
that is two hundred [thousand dollars] ($200,000.00). There may be some units that are
two [hundred] seventy-five [thousand dollars] ($275,00) or higher than that. So, I mean
we can't make any promises on what we're going to sell these for. But they are certainly
not low income houses. And if they were low income, we would have actually - you
have to - apply to get funds to build the, because nobody can afford to build low income
anymore.
Some facts about the Wildwood property values - over the last two (2) years, the average
sales price for Wildwood Condominiums has been one hundred and twelve thousand
dollars ($112,000.00) and a hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00); and, for their
Wildwood Single Family Homes, have been at - one hundred and forty thousand dollars
($140,000.00). So, we believe that these high end, two-car garage, high quality
townhouses, are going to help the values in Wildwood; certainly more than use of an
'Industrial' property.
Recreational amenities - the idea that - people that live in our community aren't going to
use the pool and the cabana and the park that are right outside their door - in our latest
rendition of our Concept Plan, we're at almost fifty percent (50%) open face with pet
park, outdoor barbeques, picnic areas. We have got jogging trails; fitness courses;
gazebo in a lakeside park. The allegation that if you lived with brand new amenities that
you would get in your car and drive a couple of miles to go use someone else's stuff, I
cannot comprehend. We have talked about making this a gated community - we are
going to provide recreational amenities and this is going, the plan is going to come before
you all again. And, you can make sure that we do that to your liking.

As far as, the loss of, just the fact that it is 'Industrial' property and Mr. Moretti spoke to
the fact that he has a concern that, I mean certainly he is a Property Owner, and he has a
bundle of rights that go with his property and his ability to use that property and by
changing our Land-Use, our designation - from 'Industrial' to 'Residential' doesn't affect
his use of property. We have tried to work with Mr. Moretti to give him and these
assurances. I understand that he's concerned about noise. Well, you all have a Noise
Ordinance and if that Noise Ordinance is being broken - we can't promise him that no
one will have a concern with them. But, what we can say is that your Code and your
Comp [Comprehensive] Plan do not impose on him any greater burden for set-backs or
buffers or anything like that.
In addition, on our property what has been planned and what's been in the works for a
while - that I could just come up here and all of a sudden - change the Comp
[Comprehensive] Plan." Ms. Furman continued, "We have been talking to this City to
see what we can create that is compatible both to the side that's on Wildwood and the
side that is on these 'Industrial' uses.
And, one of the things that we have come up with that we would agree to put a six foot
(6') high wall on top of a five foot (5') high berm. It would have trees, shrubbery, and
most important to all trees and shrubs, some sort of - we'd have irrigation. So that on his
side, we would buffer our 'Residential' Use. Because again, we are going to be selling
these properties. And we do not want our potential buyers to come and tour it and look
over and see some of those properties. So we will make these compatible. We have also
agreed that in our Covenant, Conditions and Restrictions, commonly known as the
CCR's, we will include a disclosure of the adjacent 'Commercial' and 'Industrial' uses so
that our residents understand what they are moving in next to. Another property is the
commonly known as the Elsea property, which is the property to the south. At the
Planning and Zoning Meeting, a representative of the Elsea property opposed this for
reasons of compatibility and we offer to bring that property into our development and we
currently have a pending contract on that piece of property. City Staff has asked the
Developer today if we'd agree to also Transmit that along with this. And, we are okay
with doing that. And, that really wraps up how I wanted to respond to some of the things.
I appreciate your time and patience. I know that many of you were here also on Monday
[Tuesday, February 7, 2006] night when we tried to hold the Community meeting that we
thought the Highlands wanted. I contacted the Highlands in January and asked them if I
could use their meeting space to make it more convenient for the Highlands and I was
told that they no available meeting space in the evenings or on the weekends until the end
of February. So, that's when I then contacted the City and asked to use this."

Ms. Furman said, "I don't know exactly how to answer that as far as what would we
commit to - certainly, we have considered that we would have to do additional
improvements to turn lanes, maybe some types of intersection improvements - certainly,
to go forward once we have more in depth traffic analysis we will know what's required
to get to adequate levels of service. So if you are asking for specific improvements, we
can take those under consideration..." Commissioner McGinnis stated, ".. . But it is on

Commissioner McGinnis said, "There was a Member here earlier from the P and Z Board

Commissioner Gilmore said, "Traffic we have heard a lot of and traffic is going to be an
issue no matter what is done out there, If it stays like it is traffic five (5) years from now
is still going to be a problem. And I think it is up to the City, the City Staff, and the
County to work things out so that it's acceptable. Furthermore, Commissioner Gilmore
added, Schools is a major problem. I just fear that we are adding more portables and this
is just a drop in the bucket. As near as I can see it is going to keep getting worse.
Whether we improve this or not, it's not going to have any affect on that. We need more
schools, probably smaller schools, neighborhood schools. But that is not our issue.
'Industrial' adjacent to Wildwood which Mr. Moretti brought up. He and I have talked
several times about it and I well understand it. The problem here is, it doesn't matter if
this stays 'Industrial', you are going still have 'Industrial' next to 'Residential'."
Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs asked Manager McLemore, "Did anybody else get this
letter that was from Ross Stafford Bumaman - February 6, 2006?" Commissioner Krebs
then said, "City Manager, did you read the chronological - is it right?" Manager
McLemore stated, "There are issues in there I think that need to be addressed, but I think
they are entirely manageable." Commissioner Krebs added, "Because it did - talk about
Mr. Dittmer's reasons for doing what he did. That came up and I read this and it sounded
pretty logical, but I don't know if it was or not. So, I was just asking if it was fairly
accurate?" Manager McLemore said, "Some of the things we agree with some of the
things we don't."
Commissioner Krebs said that regarding the "Existing lake on the property providing
adequate outfall for the stormwater..." Ms. Furman stated, "... That is one of the things
in Mr. Bumaman ... that was incorrect and we disagree with." Ms. Furman added, "In the
Staff Report there is a thing on topography, but we are not doing stormwater into Boat
Lake."

The first being as we talked about previously, using the semi automated system, we will
provide each citizen with a ninety-six (96) gallon 'Toter' or roll-out 'Cart' - we will stay
with that. We will also offer a sixty-four (64) gallon 'Cart' to those citizens that feel like
the ninety-six (96) gallon 'Cart' may be too large or too cumbersome for their garage or
yard or what not, so the standard 'Cart' if you will, will be the ninety-six (96) gallon
option, with a sixty-four (64) gallon 'Cart' as a second or an alternative - no difference in
price by the way to the citizens or to our payment to Waste Pro. As a result of that, there
was some language in the Rate Resolution, a title, I had previously titled a line - ninety-
six (96) gallon 'Cart'. I just removed the ninety-six (96) gallon and simply said 'Cart'."

up, I think Commissioner McGinnis you may have even said something. . . "
