With discussion, Commissioner McGinnis asked Ms. Butler, "Will you track the data for
this? Will you be able to track if it has made a difference, if they went through this
program?" Ms. Butler responded, "Absolutely."
Discussion.
Mr. Bob Dallari, County Commissioner, Seminole County Board of County
Commissioners, 1101 East First Street, Sanford, Florida: also addressed the City
Commission and spoke of partnerships between Seminole County and Seminole County
cities.
Regarding support for this project, Ms. Butler explained, "We could really use your
support with the automobiles and the maintenance for the automobiles. It comes to
approximately a hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00)." Ms. Butler then noted, "We
would like the City of Winter Springs and Winter Springs High School to be one of the
pilots, so in order to have that, we would need that type of financial support."
Chief of Police Daniel J. Kerr stated, "The City Manager and I have both talked briefly
about the cars that when we go to replace our older vehicles, that there are some that
would be able to be used for this project, and - we would be able to donate those
vehicles."
City Manager Ronald W. McLemore asked Ms. Butler, "About this hundred thousand
[dollars] ($100,000.00) maintenance. Who is coming up with that?" Ms. Butler
explained, "It is an estimate based on currently what is spent on the vehicles that they
have had to use." Ms. Butler added, "This is an estimate."
Mayor Bush said, "I would like to recommend that we ask the Manager and the Police
Chief to look into this further in terms of the actual cost, and then come back to the
Commission with - recommendation."
Discussion.
Furthermore, Mayor Bush recommended, "I would like to recommend that we ask the
Manager and the Police Chief to look into this further and come back with maybe a more
definitive number." Commissioner McGinnis said, "I support that."
Manager McLemore suggested, "Why couldn't we think about a county-wide 'MSTU'
(Municipal Service Taxing Units) tax rate which would almost be infinitesimal and
contract with the Schools to do it for the County."

101. Office Of The City Manager
Requesting The City Commission Consider A Request From WMFE For Financial
Support.
Mr. Steven McKenney Steck, Chief Executive Officer, WMFE, 11510 East Colonial
Avenue, Orlando, Florida: spoke of connectivity and capacity.
Continuing, Mr. Steck stated, "We are here to ask for the City of Winter Springs to
provide a five thousand dollar ($5,000.00) per year capacity Grant for a three (3) year
period."
Furthermore, Mr. Steck mentioned, "Additionally, we want to bring an added value to the
relationship of our capacity Grant donors through (Television Station) WMFE central
Florida alliance network to ask you in association with your role with Seminole
Government TV (SGTV) to participate in over the air free and accessible to all,
broadcasting on the stations of (Television Station) WMFE, such that on one of our
multi-casted channels, the C-SP AN channel. You would have a block of time for your
programs or your programs produced in association with SGTV (Seminole Government
TV), multiple plays throughout a week, throughout a year, at least once in prime time
every week; not requiring your residents to subscribe to cable, you would have a regional
presence in this marketplace and we would bring, we think added value to this Grant-
making relationship as part of asking you all to be an ally in the central Florida alliance
network.
So, in closing, we're asking the City of Winter Springs as well as twelve (12) other local
government entities in central Florida to provide, though in your case, a capacity Grant of
five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) each year for a three (3) year period, beginning in the
Spring of next year, though we hope you could approve it in the next sixty (60) days, to
allow (Television Station) WMFE to assert your opportunities to have connectivity with
your constituents, your constituencies or (Television Station) WMFE's viewers, listeners
and members."
Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs inquired, "How many times would we have a
broadcast?" Mr. Steck replied, "Given the comparative Grant size to others, roughly
about fourteen (14) times, I think."
Discussion.
"I MOVE THAT WE SUPPORT A FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR ($5,000.00) PER
YEAR, CAP ACITY GRANT, FOR THREE (3) YEARS." MOTION BY
COMMISSIONER McGINNIS. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER GILMORE.

DEPUTY MAYOR BLAKE SAID TO CITY ATTORNEY ANTHONY A.
GARGANESE, "THE MOTION WAS TO EARMARK AN EXPENDITURE OUT
INTO FUTURE YEARS, FUTURE TIME PERIODS. DO WE HAVE TO USE
SOME SORT OF SPECIAL LANGUAGE IF WE ARE GOING TO BUDGET AN
APPROPRIATION OUT, TWO (2) YEARS OR THREE (3) YEARS."
ATTORNEY GARGANESE RESPONDED, "TYPICALLY, IF WE'RE GOING
TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WE OUGHT TO PUT IT IN AN
AGREEMENT. I DIDN'T SEE ONE ATTACHED. THE COMMISSION COULD
ENTER INTO A CONTRACT TO PROVIDE THESE EXPENDITURES FOR A
THREE (3) YEAR TIME PERIOD." ATTORNEY GARGANESE ADDED, "AND
PUT THE APPROPRIATE BUDGET LANGUAGE IN THAT CONTRACT. IF
WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT FOR A YEAR, I JUST WOULDN'T DO IT ON A

MR. STECK STATED, "SURE, AND WE WOULD ANTICPATE THAT. AND IT
WOULD PROBABLY, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE ASKING FOR THREE (3)

Tape 2/Side A
With discussion, Deputy Mayor Michael S. Blake said, "The lot was originally intended,
when it was subdivided through the Developer's Agreement and the Settlement
Agreements, to be a single building and an office type environment."
Deputy Mayor Blake added, "Now instead oflooking at one (1) building, we are looking
at two (2) buildings. Now, instead of one (1) sign, we are looking at two (2) signs. I
understand the entrance way has already been done, and that is unfortunate, but the fact
of the matter is, we are creating a traffic point here, a traffic point there, and a traffic
point here, and now we are going to line it with buildings and signs to cut down on your
site distance, and it is a residential area. I don't feel comfortable with that."
Then Deputy Mayor Blake noted, "I would tend to think that these types of buildings in
that location would be best served by building mounted signs of an appropriate type and
if there needs to be a tenant, ground mounted sign that one as is already approved should
be the maximum, so, I can't really support using two (2) signs. Especially, as
Commissioner [Robert S. ] Miller said, with one (1) entrance and egress that it makes
sense to have just one (1) sign as well."
Ms. Rachel Christensen, P.E., Christensen & Associates, 412 Mead Drive, Oviedo,
Florida: remarked, "From a marketing perspective and from a Site development
perspective and an appropriate placement and function of the Site, the two (2) signs make
a great deal of difference to a potential user or potential buyer for that property. It is a
long piece of frontage and yes, there will be a single driveway and we're committed to
that, but the second sign is very important to us. The original Approval did allow for
only one (1) sign. We recognize that we need Commission approval for this. The
original sign was actually a Waiver from the City Code Criteria to allow a taller sign.

We're willing to put in two (2) signs to meet City Code foregoing the additional height
that was allowed by the Developer Agreement; if we can in fact, get approval for two (2)
signs. We think that the signs are tasteful. They will be appropriately located to provide
suitable site distances. We have analyzed the driveway location, and the landscaping and
the sign location with regard to appropriate site distances in terms of the speed of the road
and the curvature of the road and we certainly understand those issues and they're very
important. We would like consideration."
Commissioner Sally McGinnis asked, "What was the height of the sign - the Waiver, the
tall sign you referred to?" Mr. Baker said, "The Development Agreement allowed them
to go to eight feet nine inches (8' 9") tall in instead of the eight feet (8') required by
Code."
Discussion.
Commissioner Miller said, "Something to think about, if it is going to be one (1), eight
foot (8') sign; how about if they are just two (2), four foot (4')?" Commissioner
McGinnis said, "I like that." Commissioner Miller said, "It is not nearly intrusive as an
eight foot (8') sign to start with."
Dr. Williams stated, "One problem when talking about putting signs on the building, the
row of trees that they have precludes that, you can't see anything - and the second
building - the landscaping already has a large row of trees, it's already lining Vistawilla
[Drive] and you can't see the building hardly. You won't be able to see whenever the
second building is built. You can't see it because of the amount of landscaping that
separates it, so a sign on the building wouldn't work. And really even on my place, I
mean there is really no particular location that a sign would be suitable for the aesthetics
that we've done for it. The cultured stone that we're putting on the east face of it, the
area that you see from the street, we don't have a location where you can put building
mounted signs, that has any kind of visibility from the street, so that's the problem that
we have run into."
Discussion.
"I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DIRECT THE CITY
MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT THAT
ALLOWS FOR TWO (2) SIGN LOCATIONS NOT TO EXCEED - FOUR FEET
(4') HIGH, SIX FEET (6') WIDE TO BE LOCATED ON EACH SIDE ADJACENT
TO THE SINGLE ENTRANCE WAY IN SUCH A MANNER SO AS TO NOT
OBSTRUCT VISION OR ENTRANCE/EGRESS PURSUANT TO THE NORMAL
CITY GUIDELINES ON THE SITE TRIANGLE." MOTION BY DEPUTY

With discussion, Commissioner Gilmore said, "Does that meet the compatibility
requirements?" Mr. Taylor said, "I think that it does."
Further discussion.
Attorney Garganese said, "Generally, the Commission had a rule that once a property has
been divided it could no longer be subdivided a second time, and the Commission after
numerous Workshops and Public Hearings, relaxed that requirement or that prohibition.
They relaxed it by adopting the changes to Chapter 9 that would permit lot splits under
limited circumstances if, and only if the Applicant could demonstrate Compliance with
the Criteria that the Commission approved. And one of the Criteria is the Application
must be compatible and in harmony with the surrounding neighborhood including with
respect to the size of existing surrounding lots and development trends in the
neighborhood, which have been previously approved by the Commission." Attorney
Garganese then said, "And I just want to clarify one point for the Record - one of the
Commissioners said that other lot splits have been approved in the past by the City; I
think that should be qualified for the Record. There have not been many lot splits
approved subsequent to the adoption of this new Criteria that is on page 2."
Discussion.
Next, Attorney Garganese said, "Where would the access point be for - proposed lOA - I
just want to clarify that for the Record. It looks to me like access would be - the only
access point available for lOA if this was approved, would be Hayes Road." Mr. Baker
said, "The - new lot would be Hayes Road. Yes, Sir." Attorney Garganese asked, "Are
there any other lots with access to Hayes Road in this particular area?" Mr. Baker
responded, "It looks like the lot immediately north of the Bledsoe's has a driveway onto
Hayes [Road] - south of East Panama [Road], yes." Attorney Garganese said, "Okay, I
just wanted to clarify that fact."
"I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DISAPPROVE THE REQUEST FOR THE LOT
SPLIT - DENIED FOR LOT SPLIT ITEM '205'." MOTION BY

Mills Or Some Other Rate The City Commission Deems More Appropriate,

Public Hearing To Consider The Proposed Millage Rate And Tentative Budget For
Fiscal Year 2006-2007.
Ms. Michelle Greco, Director, Finance Department presented this Agenda Item.
Tape 2/Side B
Discussion.
Commissioner Miller stated, "For the purposes of something that I think is really, critical
regarding Legacy Park and its impact on certain areas of the City, I feel that 'Traffic
Calming' is a critical item that needs to be addressed in this forthcoming Fiscal Year.
The estimate seems to be at one hundred, ninety thousand dollars ($190,000.00) which
would be about 1/10th of a Mil, about one hundred, ninety-five thousand dollars
($195,000.00), so I would like to add in that to the existing number, which we are all
talking about which is - 4.7500 and if we added in 1/10th of a Mil it would come to
4.8500 and that would keep in the discussion the item which I think is very important-
'Traffic Calming' is the result of Legacy Park coming in." Commission Miller then said,
"If we are going to set it at anything, that we set it at 4.8500 instead of 4.7500 and that
1/1Oth of a Mil would be an item that I want to make sure doesn't get dropped off because
we didn't set the Mil rate high enough."

Discussion.
Commissioner Gilmore suggested, "If we put in the Department request, plus the
Manager's that would be 4.448 and if we went with last year's rate of 4.750, this would
leave .302 for the Commissions' 'Wish list'." With further discussion on the revised
documentation, Commissioner Gilmore noted, "The bottom line is we could keep last
year's Millage Rate and still have .302 for the 'Wish list' items."
Furthermore, Commissioner Gilmore remarked, "I was a little concerned about seeing the
Bear Creek Boardwalk in this Budget, because - you know that is a safety issue. That
thing should have been done a long time ago."
Ms. Greco said, "Commissioner Miller was talking about Traffic Calming. I just wanted
to bring up that there currently is one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) in the Road
Improvement Fund for Traffic Calming."
Commissioner McGinnis referenced the City Commission's 'Wish list'and said, "I don't
know how some things got taken out and some things are here - WiFi isn't here and that
was always the number one (1) 'Wish list'." Manager McLemore said, "WiFi will be
something that we will develop once we understand what it is we want to do. The only
thing we want to make sure we funded was the Study - I think we did that in this year's
Budget, or we will do it in this year's Budget anyhow."
Discussion.
Commissioner Krebs said, "I also want to be sure that - we have the room we need for
'Compression'..." Manager McLemore said, "...At 4.75 you have room to deal with all
those issues." Commissioner Krebs said, "I just want to make sure we take care of
'Compression' and if that doesn't handle it, then I guess we could always go back
through the Budget and slash that too."
Further discussion.
Mayor Bush said, "The Commission also is putting the 'Compression' issue at the top of
the list..." Commissioner McGinnis said, "... Yes..." Commissioner Krebs also stated,
"...Yes." Mayor Bush continued, "...To take care of that and of course, that is data we
don't have yet. We have the one percent (1%) and the Manager's Budget, but the
Commission asked for I believe for two (2) [percent] - I think we should look at 2, 2.5,
and 3. . ." Commissioner McGinnis said, "... I would like to look at it."
Discussion followed on the wording in the Trim (Truth in Millage) Notice.

this Agenda Item for discussion.
Commissioner Miller said, "The only thing you haven't mentioned is timing on this."
Mr. Stevenson said, "Commissioner Miller, I will have to get back with you. I don't
know the exact timing, but I know they met today. They were supposed to meet last
week. They did get out there and met on the site today. We can certainly monitor that
and bring back information to you."
With discussion, Commissioner Miller suggested, "If we can get the money from them,
let's just go ahead and put them in ourselves, in the next month, because the next thing
that is going to happen is people are going to tell me ' Well, now is not the right time to
plant them, because you really only plant them in the Spring'." Mr. Stevenson stated,
"We can monitor the progress and I'll get you an update on the timing."

Mayor Bush said, "We agree it's a problem and I think Randy [Stevenson] needs to
contact the County Commission so we get a date on this and if it isn't a reasonable date;
matter of fact - send an email to the Commissioners, 'This is what they are saying' and if
that date does not seem reasonable then I think we need to talk to the County
Commissioners." Mr. Stevenson said, "As soon as I get a date, I will try to get one for
you tomorrow or the next day, I will email that out." Mayor Bush added, "Okay - stay
on top of this because it really looks bad." Mr. Stevenson stated, "Okay."
Deputy Mayor Blake said, "If the City takes over the project, then we are responsible for
the Warranty on it. Correct?" Mr. Stevenson noted, "That's correct." Deputy Mayor
Blake said, "I don't think we should do that. I think we should hold their feet to the fire
and get it done, but I don't want to pick up the responsibility of replacing it, the next
time." Mayor Bush said, "I think we would all agree with that. But, I also would agree
with Commissioner Miller that this needs to be done."

302. Office Of The City Attorney
Requests The City Commission Consider And Approve Resolution 2006-36
Determining The Necessity And Public Purpose For The Hayes Road Intersection
Improvement Project And Determining The Necessity And Public Purpose For
Acquiring, By Eminent Domain, Fee Simple Ownership Of Designated Parcels Of
Real Property In Winter Springs, Florida. Further This Resolution Authorizes The
City Attorney's Office To Initiate Eminent Domain Proceedings To Acquire
Designated Parcels, And Providing For An Immediate Effective Date.
Attorney Garganese said, "This item is coming back to you after a City Commission
directive some time ago - this Resolution would authorize the initiation of Eminent
Domain proceedings to take property that is depicted on the Survey attached to the
Resolution, for purposes of constructing a right turn-lane on State Road 434 at the Hayes
Road intersection, heading eastbound. To date, they have not been successful to
negotiate the purchase of this. Initiating the Eminent Domain proceedings would
authorize my office to work with Staff to present a more formal offer to the Property
Owner, and if necessary, file the appropriate Petition in Court to quick take this property,
so the right turn-lane can be constructed."

Grande Is Comprised Of 152 Condominium Units And Associated Infrastructure
On 4.78 Acres In The Town Center On The North Side Of SR (State Road) 434, Just
East Of The City Hall Building.
Mr. Stevenson presented this Agenda Item.
Tape 3/Side A
Discussion ensued with Staff.
Commissioner Gilmore said, "Where are the roadway entrances for vehicles?" Mr.
Stevenson responded, "The vehicles are limited to this entrance right here off what will
be Edge Drive and this is the main entrance to the parcel right here." Commissioner
Gilmore said, "With that high density that is in there, is that adequate for one (1)
entrance?" Mr. Stevenson said, "I have seen high density on other apartment complexes
primarily that have similar entrances." Commissioner Gilmore asked, "This right here, is
that for emergency vehicles?" Mr. Stevenson said, "That is a secondary emergency
egress. "
Further discussion.
Continuing, Commissioner Gilmore said, "When this came before us, we saw such a
beautiful rendition, it looked like a French street - where all the trees were in bloom and
everything else. Is it going to look that way at the end of the project?" Mr. Stevenson
said, "We have the Landscape Plan and it calls for those types of plant material."
Commissioner Gilmore said, "But not many of them."
Mr. Chad Oakley, LaCesse Development Corporation, 650 South Northlake Boulevard,
Suite 450, Altamonte Springs, Florida: stated, "Yes, to answer your question - we will
have it heavily landscaped and it will look as nice, if not nicer than what we originally
proposed. "
Commissioner Gilmore asked, "With all the flowering trees?" Mr. Oakley said, "Yes.
With palms and trees and we've worked with Staff in working on the overall - of the
buildings and the landscape plantings - you can see on your Plans, and the Landscape
Plans as well."

Furthermore, Commissioner Gilmore said, "What are the flowering trees that will be in
there? What are they?" Mr. Oakley noted, "I wish I had my Landscape Architect with
me to answer all of those specifics as specimens go."
With further discussion, Commissioner Gilmore said, "I don't see many flowering trees
to depict what I saw in those pretty artistic renditions when this project was sold." Mr.
Oakley said, "The landscape itself is actually going to be comparable, if not better than
what we originally posed." Commissioner Gilmore then inquired, "Is it going to be
colorful?" Mr. Oakley said, "Yes. It will be colorful."
Mr. Oakley then said, "When we do our Aesthetic Review, you are going to see all of the
pictures, everything drawn to scale on the Aesthetic Review as far as the plantings go, as
the perimeter of the project, as far as our streetscapes elevations. You are going to see
that. Everything will be done to scale." Commissioner Gilmore said, "When we do our
Aesthetic Review?" Mr. Oakley said, "That's correct." Commissioner Gilmore then
remarked, "Then don't come back and say 'Well, that was covered under the Engineering
Review'. Because I am afraid that is what is going to happen."
Commissioner McGinnis said, "My main concern in the beginning was the look of a
gated community. You have taken care of that - You talk about building in two (2)
phases, this would be a two (2) phase project." Commissioner McGinnis then
commented, "You are not going to build it all at once, right, or are you?" Mr. Oakley
said, "We would like to. Sales permitting, we would like to do it all at once."
Commissioner McGinnis said, "What is your time frame?" Mr. Oakley said, "As soon as
we get through Aesthetic Review, we'll roll through the plans and try to get through the
Building Department and - we actually just leased one (1) of the office spaces next door
to open up our sales and then really start going for it."
Discussion.
Commissioner Gilmore then inquired, "The one thing that really surprised me is why are
we putting Slash Pine in there? And Cabbage Palms?" Mr. Stevenson said, "I will
double check that for you Commissioner."

306. Office Of Commissioner Sally McGinnis
Requests That The Applicant Of The West End Professional Offices Reconsider
Adding Something Architecturally To The Front Plaza Area.
Commissioner McGinnis remarked, "Following our approval for the West End
Professional Center, I did think about talking to the Applicant again and asking them to
please reconsider in adding an architectural enhancement in the form of perhaps
sculpture. I did talk to Paul Partyka about this. I just think it is an opportunity. All I am
asking is if they would consider it. I think it is an opportunity to have this building create
an identity - like no other in the City. We do not have any sculpture in the City."
Continuing, Commissioner McGinnis suggested, "I think in our community we could
probably find somebody who is willing - a beginning Sculptor, or an Artist - they are not
going to donate all the materials, but they might donate their talent. I would like for you
to look at it again."

Mr. Carl Napolitano, Allen, Dyer, Doppelt, Milbrath & Gilchrist, P.A., 255 South
Orange Avenue, Suite 1401, Orlando, Florida: noted that he is one (1) of seven (7) of
the partners and stated, "It is estimated that a suitable budget for the purchase and
installation of an appropriate sculpture in keeping with the tastes and style of a Class A
professional office building will be about fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00). The owner
asks the City to contribute fifty percent (50%) to the sculpture project with such a
contribution by the City, not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00).
Keeping in mind that varied tastes of individuals, especially with regard to art - it is
intended that the owners select the work of art in the form of a sculpture and have it
installed, or at least ordered by a date coinciding with the Certificate of Occupancy. The
Commissioners will have the right to timely approve the selected sculpture with approval
not being unreasonably withheld."
With further discussion, Commissioner McGinnis suggested, "Before we commit
ourselves to a real dollar figure, I would like to see some effort made to talk to our art
schools." Discussion.
Discussion.
Commissioner Miller said, "So, there is not going to be a fountain? There is not going to
be any art work? You asked the City to go in half with you right now." Mr. Napolitano
said, "That's on this proposal."
Commissioner McGinnis said, "I appreciate you coming tonight and gIvmg it
consideration." Mr. Napolitano said, "If you know of Artists that are interested, I'd be
more than happy to talk to them." Commissioner McGinnis said, "I will look into it. I
would be happy to do that."

Mayor Bush stated, "The Manager is recommending the Consultant - either in person
or on the phone." Commissioner Krebs noted, "lfwe are going to have a Consultant,
then 1 would suggest doing the least - costfactor, if that is what everybody agrees to."
Deputy Mayor Blake said, "1 am certain there is information that Staff can compile for

next step should be." With further discussion, Deputy Mayor Blake remarked, "Bring
us back your recommendation based on information that you are able to ascertain -

For A Citizen Awareness And Participation Plan (CAPP) And Provide Comments
Or Recommended Revisions And Also Provide Direction To Staff For
Implementation Of The CAPP (Citizen Awareness And Participation Plan)
Program, Including Incorporation Of The Proposed Language Into The City's Code
Of Ordinances.
Mr. Stevenson introduced this Agenda Item and stated, "Staff recommends that you
approve the proposed implementation language or any revisions that you might like to
see - to this said language and direct Staff to incorporate this language into the City's
Code of Ordinances and in addition, we would ask that you give us some feedback and
information on the draft language that is contained in what we are calling the CAPP
(Citizen Awareness and Participation Plan) Handbook."
Commissioner McGinnis said, "This came about because I saw this program in
Longwood and brought it to the Commission. Somewhere in this, I think we should give
credit to Longwood." Mr. Stevenson stated, "Absolutely." Commissioner McGinnis
said, "One thing I did not notice, when we talk about the 'Applicant must hold
community meetings' - they have to call a meeting, but we don't say that it should be as
close to the proposed project as possible." Mr. Stevenson commented, "So you'd like
language that the meeting would be scheduled in a location as close to the project as
possible?" Commissioner McGinnis said, "Yes." Commissioner McGinnis noted,
"There are some typos that I will talk to you privately about." Mr. Stevenson said,
"Found some of them."
Then, Commissioner McGinnis noted where it says, "It is important that all meeting
notices get to people early enough so they can make plans to attend your meeting - and it
says, Notices to meetings should reach invitees ten (10) to fourteen (14) days before the
meeting, I would suggest we would say, 'Notices of meetings must reach invitees ten (10)
to fourteen (14) days'. I think not 'Should', 'Must' - or 'Shall'." Mr. Stevenson said,
"We can make the language imperative."
Furthermore, Commissioner McGinnis then said, "In the very beginning under
'Attachment A', it is the second page, its - 6. c. It says, 'Other interested parties who
have requested to be placed on an interested party's notification list maintained by the
Community Development Department.' Well, how would people know about that?" Mr.
Stevenson resplied, "What we already have in place is - this primarily speaks to
Homeowner's Associations who want to be notified of anything happening in their area.
We have a number of those who already maintain a database." Commissioner McGinnis
pointed out, "That is mentioned in b. Then, c. says 'Other interested parties who have
requested' ..." Mr. Stevenson remarked, "... These would be outside of what we would
consider the public notification area."

certainly put it on our Website." Commissioner McGinnis said, "Okay."
Discussion.
Commissioner Gilmore said, "I question whether a 150 feet (150') or even 500 feet (500')

"We certainly have the ability again, we had said 150 to 500 feet (150-500') and we have
the ability to modify those requirements."
Further discussion.
Deputy Mayor Blake suggested, "We have a Website, we have a Newsletter. If we send
out in our quarterly Newsletter, a page that maybe is just a link that goes to the Website,
with this information that we get in our Consent Agenda every Meeting that shows the
current status of new projects corning to Winter Springs, frankly if people hear about it,
early on in the process, then they can make their calls; then they can call their Elected
Official, then they can get the real story behind what is really happening. They can be
informed, and they can get involved in the process that already exists for public input."

REPORTS
603. Commission Seat Two/Deputy Mayor - Michael S. Blake
Deputy Mayor Blake spoke regarding tonight's Ranchlands lot split and suggested, "I
think that there is something that we can do that will still provide for lot splits where
they are appropriate but also protect the ultimate character of that neighborhood; and
I would like the Commission's support to direct Anthony [Garganesej, to bring back to
us an Ordinance as soon as possible, that will make a few minor adjustments in the
current lot split language, specifically, and this will require a little bit of math - my idea
is that a lot split request would be - allowable, if - each of the new lot sizes are of an
acreage that is greater than the average lot size, within a specified radius of the same
Zoning classification."
Continuing, Deputy Mayor Blake explained, "Let's say that there is a lot in the
Ranchlands that the Owner would like to split and the split means into two (2)."
Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Blake stated, "And that lot size is currently ten (10) acres
in size, it is a ten (10) acre lot. They would like to split it into two (2) different lots. If
you would draw from the center point of the lot, a radius of I think a 1,000 feet, and
look at all of the lots encompassed, that that 1,000 foot radius would touch upon, in
that same Zoning district, so in other words, if it is - a lot that is near the Ranchlands
and goes over into - Mt. Greenwood - where the lots are very, very small,. they would
not be included in the calculation because they are in a different Zoning classification.
So, it would only include those lots that are in the same Zoning classification as the
Ranchlands. Add up all the acreage, divide it by the number of lots included, gives you
an average acreage.
Let's say that that number is three (3) acres. On average, lots within that radius are
three (3) acres, then that lot split could occur if it were to split that one (1) lot into a
seven (7) acre lot and a three (3) acre lot. It could not occur if they wanted to split it up
to an eight (8) acre lot and a two (2) acre lot because two(2) is below the average of
three (3) acres."

Mayor Bush said to Attorney Garganese, "Would it make sense that we do with this,
what we did with the garage on Deer Run, where you basically post that there is a
pending Ordinance?" Attorney Garganese stated, "Yes. If that is the direction of the
Commission to move forward..." Mayor Bush then said, "...Commissioners, is that
something you are in agreement with?" Commissioner Krebs said, "Yes, 1 think we
need to preserve the character of the neighborhood." Commissioner McGinnis

Commissioner Gilmore commented, "1 definitely think that we need to do something. 1
am not sure of the mathematics that Commissioner Blake used, is the right
mathematics, but we do need some." Commissioner Miller stated, "Yes, but 1 want to
clarify it because there was a time when you could only split the lot once - maybe we
need to go back to that again." Regarding previous lot splits, Commissioner Miller
added, "1 would like to get back to that if we could, the rationale for it and how we
could possibly do that again." Mayor Bush noted, "1 think we have Consensus on
that."

Continuing, Mr. Steck stated, "We are here to ask for the City of Winter Springs to
provide a five thousand dollar ($5,000.00) per year capacity Grant for a three (3) year
period. "
Furthermore, Mr. Steck mentioned, "Additionally, we want to bring an added value to the
relationship of our capacity Grant donors through (Television Station) WMFE central
Florida alliance network to ask you in association with your role with Seminole
Government TV (SGTV) to participate in over the air free and accessible to all,
broadcasting on the stations of (Television Station) WMFE, such that on one of our
multi-casted channels, the C-SP AN channel. You would have a block of time for your
programs or your programs produced in association with SGTV (Seminole Government
TV), multiple plays throughout a week, throughout a year, at least once in prime time
every week; not requiring your residents to subscribe to cable, you would have a regional
presence in this marketplace and we would bring, we think added value to this Grant-
making relationship as part of asking you all to be an ally in the central Florida alliance
network.
So, in closing, we're asking the City of Winter Springs as well as twelve (12) other local
government entities in central Florida to provide, though in your case, a capacity Grant of
five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) each year for a three (3) year period, beginning in the
Spring of next year, though we hope you could approve it in the next sixty (60) days, to
allow (Television Station) WMFE to assert your opportunities to have connectivity with
your constituents, your constituencies or (Television Station) WMFE's viewers, listeners
and members."
Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs inquired, "How many times would we have a
broadcast?" Mr. Steck replied, "Given the comparative Grant size to others, roughly
about fourteen (14) times, I think."

Tape 2/Side A
With discussion, Deputy Mayor Michael S. Blake said, "The lot was originally intended,
when it was subdivided through the Developer's Agreement and the Settlement
Agreements, to be a single building and an office type environment."
Deputy Mayor Blake added, "Now instead oflooking at one (1) building, we are looking
at two (2) buildings. Now, instead of one (1) sign, we are looking at two (2) signs. 1
understand the entrance way has already been done, and that is unfortunate, but the fact
of the matter is, we are creating a traffic point here, a traffic point there, and a traffic
point here, and now we are going to line it with buildings and signs to cut down on your
site distance, and it is a residential area. 1 don't feel comfortable with that."
Then Deputy Mayor Blake noted, "I would tend to think that these types of buildings in
that location would be best served by building mounted signs of an appropriate type and
if there needs to be a tenant, ground mounted sign that one as is already approved should
be the maximum, so, 1 can't really support using two (2) signs. Especially, as
Commissioner [Robert S. ] Miller said, with one (1) entrance and egress that it makes
sense to have just one (1) sign as well."
Ms. Rachel Christensen, P.E., Christensen & Associates, 412 Mead Drive, Oviedo,
Florida: remarked, "From a marketing perspective and from a Site development
perspective and an appropriate placement and function ofthe Site, the two (2) signs make
a great deal of difference to a potential user or potential buyer for that property. It is a
long piece of frontage and yes, there will be a single driveway and we're committed to
that, but the second sign is very important to us. The original Approval did allow for
only one (1) sign. We recognize that we need Commission approval for this. The
original sign was actually a Waiver from the City Code Criteria to allow a taller sign.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA
MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING -JULY 24, 2006
PAGE 9 OF 39
We're willing to put in two (2) signs to meet City Code foregoing the additional height
that was allowed by the Developer Agreement; if we can in fact, get approval for two (2)
signs. We think that the signs are tasteful. They will be appropriately located to provide
suitable site distances. We have analyzed the driveway location, and the landscaping and
the sign location with regard to appropriate site distances in terms of the speed of the road
and the curvature of the road and we certainly understand those issues and they're very
important. We would like consideration."
Commissioner Sally McGinnis asked, "What was the height of the sign - the Waiver, the
tall sign you referred to?" Mr. Baker said, "The Development Agreement allowed them
to go to eight feet nine inches (8' 9") tall in instead of the eight feet (8') required by
Code."
Discussion.
Commissioner Miller said, "Something to think about, if it is going to be one (1), eight
foot (8') sign; how about if they are just two (2), four foot (4')?" Commissioner
McGinnis said, "I like that." Commissioner Miller said, "It is not nearly intrusive as an
eight foot (8') sign to start with."
Dr. Williams stated, "One problem when talking about putting signs on the building, the
row of trees that they have precludes that, you can't see anything - and the second
building - the landscaping already has a large row of trees, it's already lining Vistawilla
[Drive] and you can't see the building hardly. You won't be able to see whenever the
second building is built. You can't see it because of the amount of landscaping that
separates it, so a sign on the building wouldn't work. And really even on my place, 1
mean there is really no particular location that a sign would be suitable for the aesthetics
that we've done for it. The cultured stone that we're putting on the east face of it, the
area that you see from the street, we don't have a location where you can put building
mounted signs, that has any kind of visibility from the street, so that's the problem that
we have run into."
Discussion.
"I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DIRECT THE CITY
MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT THAT
ALLOWS FOR TWO (2) SIGN LOCATIONS NOT TO EXCEED - FOUR FEET

With discussion, Commissioner Gilmore said, "Does that meet the compatibility
requirements?" Mr. Taylor said, "I think that it does."
Further discussion.
Attorney Garganese said, "Generally, the Commission had a rule that once a property has
been divided it could no longer be subdivided a second time, and the Commission after
numerous Workshops and Public Hearings, relaxed that requirement or that prohibition.
They relaxed it by adopting the changes to Chapter 9 that would permit lot splits under
limited circumstances if, and only if the Applicant could demonstrate Compliance with
the Criteria that the Commission approved. And one of the Criteria is the Application
must be compatible and in harmony with the surrounding neighborhood including with
respect to the size of existing surrounding lots and development trends in the
neighborhood, which have been previously approved by the Commission." Attorney
Garganese then said, "And 1 just want to clarify one point for the Record - one of the
Commissioners said that other lot splits have been approved in the past by the City; 1
think that should be qualified for the Record. There have not been many lot splits
approved subsequent to the adoption of this new Criteria that is on page 2."
Discussion.
Next, Attorney Garganese said, "Where would the access point be for - proposed lOA - 1
just want to clarify that for the Record. It looks to me like access would be - the only
access point available for lOA if this was approved, would be Hayes Road." Mr. Baker
said, "The - new lot would be Hayes Road. Yes, Sir." Attorney Garganese asked, "Are
there any other lots with access to Hayes Road in this particular area?" Mr. Baker
responded, "It looks like the lot immediately north of the Bledsoe's has a driveway onto
Hayes [Road] - south of East Panama [Road], yes." Attorney Garganese said, "Okay, 1
just wanted to clarify that fact."

Discussion.
Commissioner Miller stated, "For the purposes of something that I think is really, critical
regarding Legacy Park and its impact on certain areas of the City, I feel that 'Traffic
Calming' is a critical item that needs to be addressed in this forthcoming Fiscal Year.
The estimate seems to be at one hundred, ninety thousand dollars ($190,000.00) which
would be about 1/l0th of a Mil, about one hundred, ninety-five thousand dollars
($195,000.00), so I would like to add in that to the existing number, which we are all
talking about which is - 4.7500 and if we added in 1/IOth of a Mil it would come to
4.8500 and that would keep in the discussion the item which I think is very important-
'Traffic Calming' is the result of Legacy Park coming in." Commission Miller then said,
"If we are going to set it at anything, that we set it at 4.8500 instead of 4.7500 and that
1/IOth of a Mil would be an item that I want to make sure doesn't get dropped off because
we didn't set the Mil rate high enough."

Discussion.
Commissioner Gilmore suggested, "If we put in the Department request, plus the
Manager's that would be 4.448 and if we went with last year's rate of 4.750, this would
leave .302 for the Commissions' 'Wish list'." With further discussion on the revised
documentation, Commissioner Gilmore noted, "The bottom line is we could keep last
year's Millage Rate and still have .302 for the 'Wish list' items."
Furthermore, Commissioner Gilmore remarked, "I was a little concerned about seeing the
Bear Creek Boardwalk in this Budget, because - you know that is a safety issue. That
thing should have been done a long time ago."
Ms. Greco said, "Commissioner Miller was talking about Traffic Calming. I just wanted
to bring up that there currently is one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) in the Road
Improvement Fund for Traffic Calming."
Commissioner McGinnis referenced the City Commission's 'Wish list'and said, "I don't
know how some things got taken out and some things are here - WiFi isn't here and that
was always the number one (1) 'Wish list'." Manager McLemore said, "WiFi will be
something that we will develop once we understand what it is we want to do. The only
thing we want to make sure we funded was the Study - I think we did that in this year's
Budget, or we will do it in this year's Budget anyhow."
Discussion.
Commissioner Krebs said, "I also want to be sure that - we have the room we need for
'Compression'..." Manager McLemore said, "...At 4.75 you have room to deal with all
those issues." Commissioner Krebs said, "I just want to make sure we take care of
'Compression' and if that doesn't handle it, then I guess we could always go back
through the Budget and slash that too."
Further discussion.
Mayor Bush said, "The Commission also is putting the 'Compression' issue at the top of
the list..." Commissioner McGinnis said, "... Yes.. . " Commissioner Krebs also stated,
"...Yes." Mayor Bush continued, "...To take care of that and of course, that is data we
don't have yet. We have the one percent (1%) and the Manager's Budget, but the
Commission asked for I believe for two (2) [percent] - I think we should look at 2, 2.5,

the partners and stated, "It is estimated that a suitable budget for the purchase and
installation of an appropriate sculpture in keeping with the tastes and style of a Class A
professional office building will be about fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00). The owner
asks the City to contribute fifty percent (50%) to the sculpture project with such a
contribution by the City, not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00).
Keeping in mind that varied tastes of individuals, especially with regard to art - it is
intended that the owners select the work of art in the form of a sculpture and have it
installed, or at least ordered by a date coinciding with the Certificate of Occupancy. The
Commissioners will have the right to timely approve the selected sculpture with approval
not being unreasonably withheld."
With further discussion, Commissioner McGinnis suggested, "Before we commit
ourselves to a real dollar figure, I would like to see some effort made to talk to our art
schools." Discussion.

304. Community Development Department
Requests The City Commission Review The Attached Implementation Language
For A Citizen Awareness And Participation Plan (CAPP) And Provide Comments
Or Recommended Revisions And Also Provide Direction To Staff For
Implementation Of The CAPP (Citizen Awareness And Participation Plan)
Program, Including Incorporation Of The Proposed Language Into The City's Code
Of Ordinances.
Mr. Stevenson introduced this Agenda Item and stated, "Staff recommends that you
approve the proposed implementation language or any revisions that you might like to
see - to this said language and direct Staff to incorporate this language into the City's
Code of Ordinances and in addition, we would ask that you give us some feedback and
information on the draft language that is contained in what we are calling the CAPP
(Citizen Awareness and Participation Plan) Handbook."
Commissioner McGinnis said, "This carne about because I saw this program in
Longwood and brought it to the Commission. Somewhere in this, I think we should give
credit to Longwood." Mr. Stevenson stated, "Absolutely." Commissioner McGinnis
said, "One thing I did not notice, when we talk about the 'Applicant must hold
community meetings' - they have to call a meeting, but we don't say that it should be as
close to the proposed project as possible." Mr. Stevenson commented, "So you'd like
language that the meeting would be scheduled in a location as close to the project as
possible?" Commissioner McGinnis said, "Yes." Commissioner McGinnis noted,
"There are some typos that I will talk to you privately about." Mr. Stevenson said,
"Found some of them."
Then, Commissioner McGinnis noted where it says, "It is important that all meeting
notices get to people early enough so they can make plans to attend your meeting - and it
says, Notices to meetings should reach invitees ten (10) to fourteen (14) days before the
meeting, I would suggest we would say, 'Notices of meetings must reach invitees ten (10)
to fourteen (14) days'. I think not 'Should', 'Must' - or 'Shall'." Mr. Stevenson said,
"We can make the language imperative."
Furthermore, Commissioner McGinnis then said, "In the very beginning under
'Attachment A', it is the second page, its - 6. c. It says, 'Other interested parties who
have requested to be placed on an interested party's notification list maintained by the
Community Development Department.' Well, how would people know about that?" Mr.
Stevenson resplied, "What we already have in place is - this primarily speaks to
Homeowner's Associations who want to be notified of anything happening in their area.
We have a number of those who already maintain a database." Commissioner McGinnis
pointed out, "That is mentioned in b. Then, c. says 'Other interested parties who have
requested' . .." Mr. Stevenson remarked, "... These would be outside of what we would
consider the public notification area."

Commissioner Gilmore said, "I question whether a 150 feet (150') or even 500 feet (500')
is adequate." Commissioner Gilmore added, "You need 1,015 feet." Mr. Stevenson said,
"We certainly have the ability again, we had said 150 to 500 feet (150-500') and we have
the ability to modify those requirements."
Further discussion.
Deputy Mayor Blake suggested, "We have a Website, we have a Newsletter. If we send
out in our quarterly Newsletter, a page that maybe is just a link that goes to the Website,
with this information that we get in our Consent Agenda every Meeting that shows the
current status of new projects coming to Winter Springs, frankly if people hear about it,
early on in the process, then they can make their calls; then they can call their Elected
Official, then they can get the real story behind what is really happening. They can be
informed, and they can get involved in the process that already exists for public input."

603. Commission Seat Two/Deputy Mayor - Michael S. Blake
Deputy Mayor Blake spoke regarding tonight's Ranchlands lot split and suggested, "I
think that there is something that we can do that will still provide for lot splits where
they are appropriate but also protect the ultimate character of that neighborhood; and
I would like the Commission's support to direct Anthony fGarganeseJ, to bring back to
us an Ordinance as soon as possible, that will make a few minor adjustments in the
current lot split language, specifically, and this will require a little bit of math - my idea
is that a lot split request would be - allowable, if - each of the new lot sizes are of an
acreage that is greater than the average lot size, within a specified radius of the same
Zoning classification."
Continuing, Deputy Mayor Blake explained, "Let's say that there is a lot in the
Ranchlands that the Owner would like to split and the split means into two (2)."
Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Blake stated, "And that lot size is currently ten (10) acres
in size, it is a ten (10) acre lot. They would like to split it into two (2) different lots. If
you would draw from the center point of the lot, a radius of I think a 1,000 feet, and
look at all of the lots encompassed, that that 1,000 foot radius would touch upon, in
that same Zoning district, so in other words, if it is - a lot that is near the Ranchlands
and goes over into - Mt. Greenwood - where the lots are very, very small; they would
not be included in the calculation because they are in a different Zoning classification.
So, it would only include those lots that are in the same Zoning classification as the
Ranchlands. Add up all the acreage, divide it by the number of lots included, gives you
an average acreage.
Let's say that that number is three (3) acres. On average, lots within that radius are
three (3) acres, then that lot split could occur if it were to split that one (1) lot into a
seven (7) acre lot and a three (3) acre lot. It could not occur if they wanted to split it up
to an eight (8) acre lot and a two (2) acre lot because two(2) is below the average of
three (3) acres."

am not sure of the mathematics that Commissioner Blake used, is the right
mathematics, but we do need some." Commissioner Miller stated, "Yes, but 1 want to
