Discussion ensued on the maintenance of the road, Commissioner McLeod said, "I think
we ought to put them on notice, in writing, that we expect this road to be maintained for
the people." Furthermore, Commissioner McLeod stated, "I never received the -
consensus here to direct Staff, and the City Attorney to put the Contractor on notice to
maintain this road." Commissioner Martinez added, "The City Attorney agreed to that."

Commissioner McLeod?" Commissioner Sally McGinnis said, "Yes," With discussion,

Ms, Armiger then inquired, "Can I be copied on that letter?" Mayor Bush stated, "You
can certainly get a copy of that."

With further discussion on the grandfathering issues, Commissioner McLeod stated, "I
think we need to direct that again that the City Manager come back with a letter, to be put
into the record - as the survey straightens out, that those animal uses are still allowed, as
long as they both own the property." Mayor Bush said to Ms, Armiger, "What. you
would like is your meeting with the Manager, and his agreement to be put in writing - so
you will know what you two agreed to and the Commission will know what you all
agreed to,"
Mayor Bush then said, "When Mr. McLemore returns - Commissioner McLeod is saying
that - he needs to address everyone of the issues that she has brought up and give an
answer in writing to it, and then the Commission can look at it." Commissioner McLeod
added, "That is exactly what the Commission had directed the City Manager to - look at
grandfathering this and put it in writing to these folks, and then if at a later date, we come
.along and change the law, they are still grandfathered in," Furthermore, Mayor Bush
said, "I think the Commission is agreeing with you on this - we need to know what you
and the Manager have discussed and what has been agreed upon and it needs to be in
writing so that we can see it and you all can have a copy of it."
Next, Mayor Bush said, "Does the Commission have any objection that we will make
sure this is done before the Second Reading?" There were no objections from the City
Commission.
Ms, Susan Rodenburg, 1297 Natures Way, Winter Springs, Florida: gave photographs of
the area in question to Mr. Lockcuff. Ms, Rodenburg noted that she also had some

Agent For AVA-Anthony And/Or Kamil Gowni AndlOr Phelepateer LLC, For A
Variance From Section 20-418, Of The City Code Of Ordinances (Ordinance
Number 2001-13), To Allow A Gasoline Station To Be Constructed On A Site
Within 350 Feet Of Another Existing Gasoline Station Site Or Within 350 Feet Of
Residential Property.
Commissioner Martinez stated, "I would like to state for the record that yesterday
afternoon, I received a call from Mr. Kamil Gowni regarding this Agenda Item,"
Commissioner Blake said, "About a month ago, Mr, Gowni contacted me and asked for
an appointment, and came to my office and we sat and spoke for a few minutes," Deputy
Mayor Miller added, "Mr. Gowni called me yesterday," Commissioner McGinnis said,
"I talked to him to," Commissioner McLeod stated, "I would like to disclose that I had a
conversation with him,"
Mr, John Baker, AICP, Senior Planner, Community Development Department reviewed
this Agenda Item with the City Commission,
Discussion,
Mr, Bruce Duncan, Esquire, Potter Clement Lowry & Duncan, 308 East 5th Avenue,
Mount Dora, Florida: addressed the City Commission,
Commissioner Blake stated "Point of Order" and spoke about Variance criteria,
Mr, Duncan spoke on the proposed Variance.
Tape 2/Side A
With discussion, Mr, Duncan stated, "The gasoline storage tanks as I said are already in
the ground. The lines are run for the future pumps that we are requesting permission to
receive the Variance to finish the construction on," Furthermore, Mr, Duncan added,
"What we are requesting here tonight is a 140 foot Variance from the 350 foot
requirement from the Cumberland Farms which is the existing gasoline station that is
causing us the brunt of the problems here. We are 210 f~et away from property corner to
property comer. We went out there and we took a measurement and we are actually 450
plus or minus a few feet, from the existing pumps at the Cumberland Farms to where
these pumps will be located on this particular site,

CITY COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 11,2003

The Ordinance does require a property line to property line so it is a 210 foot buffer
between the - existing Cumberland Farms and this proposed site, In between the
Cumberland FarnlS and where we proposed to build this gasoline convenience store, there
will be another commercial construction site that will be developed at a future date,
There is a second lot that exists between the Cumberland Farms and where we are
actually trying to - or proposing to construct this particular facility, So what we are
asking for is the minimum required to allow the development of this site,"
Mr, Duncan continued, "The granting of the Variance will not be injurious to the
neighborhood and will be in harmony with the Code, We believe the station, as we have
proposed it, will be a great addition to the City of Winter Springs, A couple of other
conceptuals that we have had prepared by our Engineers - this will give you an idea of
what the site will look like, this will give you an idea of the entryway - the pumps, and
how the pumps will be constructed and how they will be located on the site, We do not
believe that it will be injurious to the neighborhood, There will be brick walls that will
be constructed along the backside of the property - a six foot (6') high brick wall that
will provide a buffer between the Mobile Home Park, or Manufactured Home Park that
exists behind this particular site,
We have agreed through the Development Site Plan to eliminate off-site lighting
problems by providing bucket lighting and directional lighting. As I am sure you are
aware there are some pretty nice advancements as far as lighting is concerned, and we are
going to ensure that that lighting stays on-site, that there will be a minimal off-site
impact. 1 believe the Ordinance actually puts a minimum percentage of off-site lighting
that would be permitted by the design and construction of this particular facility, We do
not believe that it will have an injurious impact on the neighborhood,
This property is zoned Commercial. Whatever goes on this site will be commercial
development and what we are proposing we think is as good looking, as aesthetically
pleasing a convenience store/gasoline station, as you are ever going to see, We have
agreed to these improvements and advancements in an attempt to try to satisfy the Staff,
and in an attempt to try to obviously incur you to enter into - or grant us the Variance,"
Next, Mr. Duncan pointed out that "1 think we have addressed the aesthetics concern for
this gas station and I can assure you the investment that my client is making in this
particular corner will not result in his abandonment - probably in my lifetime, This is a
substantial investment in what he has already put into it and what he has agreed to put
into it as a result of the improvements and the continual development of this site, The
other issue that they cite is safety in that Ordinance - too many pumps too close together.
As I have pointed out, these pumps are actually going to be about 450 feet away from
each other so the location of these pumps, the pumps themselves actually exceeds that
which was addressed in that particular Ordinance,"

Commissioner Blake said to Mr. Duncan, "You talked about an item - criteria number
three (3) - the granting of the Variance will not differ - any special privilege that is
denied by the Chapter, to other lands, buildings, and structures in the same Zoning
District - and you say that you passed that test because this property had a permit issued
at one point in time that was in existence and the property owner you said had a right to
develop at that point in time this use, and then we created the Ordinance in between the
two (2) pel111it applications, Once that permit lapses you no longer had any rights at that
point in time without going through the process again - how would this be different if not
only did the permit lapse, and I do not hear any argument that the permit did in fact not
lapse and that you did initiate, or the partnership did initiate a new permit process, and in
between something else changed, and laws change all the time and when new things
happen they have to comply with the new laws, with cUlTently existing laws, not laws as
they once were or laws that did not exist previously, How do you reconcile this
difference?"
Mr, Duncan responded, "I think that the issue is are you conferring a special privilege
upon my client that someone else in that particular Zoning District, or category, or
neighborhood would not be able to enjoy. My argument is that you are not because
anyone else has the opportunity to go through that process as well, just as we have and to
seek approval for the development."
Regarding Zoning, Mr. Duncan stated, "The existing Zoning permits a gas station at that
site, The Ordinance that prohibits the location within 350 feet is another matter. The
existing Zoning - my Client has made the. business decision that a convenience store, gas
station, 'Starbucks' Coffee Shop, is the highest and best use for that particular site,
Certainly anyone could come in here and argue that that site he could make more money
for it as a bank or as a dry cleaning store but my client has made the business decision
that that is the highest and best use for the property that he owns,"
Additionally, Mr. Duncan said, "We have imposed upon ourselves certain design criteria
that will limit or negate those impacts that mayor may not be there, Certainly one of the
issues that you must address is will it have a negative impact on the surrounding property
values. I do not believe that there has been any evidence or testimony that it will have a
negative impact on the sunounding property values. But the design criteria that we have
agreed to would provide for a substantial - not only a brick wall but there will be
landscaping on both sides of the brick wall. The lighting issues will be addressed
regarding the added expense providing the bucket lighting and directional lighting,
Those issues were designed to negate the impact on the surrounding property owners,"

Mr, Baker introduced this Agenda Item and clarified that "We have to amend Exhibit 'B'
- the building profile, the architectural rendering," Furthermore, Mr, Baker stated, "The
proposed building elevation and architectural rendering and roof line are contingent upon
amending Exhibit 'B' of the Development Agreement. We are bringing signage back -
there is a little bit of an inconsistency here, so where you see the sign on the front of that
rendering, that would not apply tonight. You are just looking at the rendering and the
roof line. Again, the ninety (90) degree parking in front is only temporary and must be
changed when the adjacent property to the west develops."

Mayor Bush stated, "We actually did receive a letter - where he says, he strongly
opposes the flat roof." Discussion,
Deputy Mayor Miller stated, "This is one of those issues that we need to be very aware of
as we go further and further into the Town Center and maybe Staff needs to tell people,
when they first come to us - they need to be very serious - when they come up with
items that are not controversial but that need to be looked at a little bit more carefully
than most because of the nature of the business - that they come in with a serious
proposal, and not change them three (3) or four (4) times in a matter of two (2) years,"
Commissioner McLeod stated for the record that "I am the owner of the property next to
the - east of that particular site," Commissioner McLeod added, "I have every intention
that this property to the east is going to be part of the Town Center and the property to the
east is going to be also commercial, and therefore I don't understand the need of a brick
wall between commercial properties."
Commissioner McLeod stated, "1 am asking this Commission, if the applicant doesn't
have a problem, to get rid of this block wall - I don't think it was ever the intent of this
City Commission to put block walls between each property owner within the Town
Center." Mr. Baker said, ''It would not violate your Code to take away the two (2) side
walls, "
Furthennore, Commissioner McLeod suggested that "Instead of having retention ponds
on every parcel - let's talk about a joint retention pond on that area, and it may be put on
the [State Road] 434 side," Commissioner McLeod added, "I have yet to be approached
by Staff as to what my intention is over there, or what could be done. I think it is a good
time that that starts happening,"
Deputy Mayor Miller spoke for the record about the Applicant's request.
With further discussion, Mr. Lockcuff stated, "I just wanted to get some direction on
Commissioner McLeod's comments, asking Staff to masterplan that area, I didn't hear
any other comments - the stOTIm,vater would be valuable, but it is a significant project, it
is not something that Staff would undertake, but I could bring back a proposal, if that is
the wish of the Commission, The other issue 1 think is transportation - I think we
somehow need to figure out how this traffic will circulate," Mr, Lockcuff added, "It
would be good to masterplan how the traffic would circulate,"
Commissioner McLeod suggested that Staff should "Pull the people together,"
