24. I. Office Of The City Manager
Requesting The City Commission To Consider Approval Of A Revised Lighting
Plan For The Town Center.
Mr. Charles Carrington, Esquire, Greenberg Traurig, P.A., 450 South Orange Avenue,
Suite 650, Orlando, Florida: addressed the City Commission.
A plan with proposed lighting fixtures was shown to those in attendance.
Commissioner Martinez spoke for the record on this issue and what has transpired prior
to this evening.
Mr. Russ Suddeth, 884 Bentley Green Circle, . Winter Springs, Florida: representing 1.
Raymond Construction, Mr. Suddeth referred to a proposed lighting plan and spoke of
the suggested lighting fixtures. Mr. Suddeth then stated, "When this first issue arose, the
biggest issue was with the height - the height of the Modem style poles. So, the proposal
that we bring to you tonight actually is a- five (5) step process and two (2) of those steps
have already taken place. The first action item took place back in November of last year
where we took the thirty-five foot (35') - we'll call them Modem fixtures and lowered
their height from thirty-five feet (35') feet to twenty feet (20')."
Mr. Suddeth then said, "From there, subsequent to some additional meetings that we had
with Ron [McLemore], we purchased additional Acorn fixtures - Acorn fixtures are the
single headed decorative fixtures that you see here. Now these Acorn fixtures were
utilized to create a street effect, if you will, along the internal drive - Cliff Rose Drive,
that is the internal drive that goes from [State Road] 434 around the fountain, to the rear
entrance. This drive here, I believe is Tree Swallow Drive - so we lowered the fixtures;
we purchased thirteen (13) additional Acorn fixtures, and those thirteen (13) additional
Acorn fixtures were utilized for this - more of a street-lined effect.
So from here, after the Commission Meeting, Shane [Doran] and Lee [Colyer] authorized
me to go ahead and try to find a fixture to better mesh with the overall theme of the other
fixtures and - tweak the design a little bit more. So this plan here, it's lowered the
fixtures; we purchased the additional Acorn fixtures and the third thing is realigning the
Sheppard fixtures, which are these fixtures here - which were existing and repositioned
so that Tree Swallow Drive now has nothing but these Sheppard fixtures. So this drive
here, nothing but Acorn's - this drive here, nothing but Sheppard's - the two (2) internal
streets - and that has not been done yet."
Furthermore, Mr. Suddeth stated, "We researched the fixture to be our workhorse if you
will, to be the thousand watt fixtures like the modem fixtures - to replace the Modem
fixtures, and we came up with this fixture here. Now what you see there is a quad
fixture, or four (4) fixture - this proposal here would be to take the three (3) headed
Modem fixture and replace it with - these three (3) headed - decorative fixtures that you

see on the right hand side - this one here, which is more consistent with the Sheppard
fixture there, in terms of the bracket anns - the existing pole would be maintained, we
would take the round disc fixtures off, slide them off, slide these fixtures on - in doing
that, that's the only way to really to achieve the photometrics that are required by Code
and also to satisfy Publix's need. The expense for that is in the neighborhood of about -
$50,000.00 - so that's the proposal."
Commissioner Blake inquired, "Does this proposal include replacing the glass on the
south side of the Pub1ix building?" Discussion.
Tape 3/Side A
Mr. Leigh Colyer, 69 Pitt Street, Charleston, South Carolina: representing the James
Doran Company, Mr. Colyer addressed the issues at hand and stated, "What specifically
are you asking?"
Mr. Suddeth stated, "The spandrel glass that is on the south side of the Publix building,
the white... Commissioner Blake added, ".. . Spandrel glass..." Mr. Colyer then said,
"...Is that the only issue on the table that we are discussing..." Commissioner Blake
stated, ".. .At the last Meeting that you all were here, March 31 st, there was an agreement
to replace that with the darker glass that you are using on all the other buildings to give it
that uniform look. . ." Mr. Colyer stated, "... That is something we did agree to in the last
Meeting, but - it would have to be tied to approval of this plan." Mr. Colyer added, "It
would have to be tied to the approval of this plan as Russ [Suddeth] has presented it - and
the spandrel glass is not a problem. I don't know about the fountain."
Manager McLemore stated, "I just want to make sure - that the proposal includes Cliff
Rose Way, we did it on that prior agreement, right - where we were going to put in the
extra Acorn's all the way through..." Mr. Colyer said, "... What we're presenting here is
what we are asking you to approve." Furthermore, Mr. Colyer added, "You're talking
about adding the triple heads - it does not include. . ." Manager McLemore then inquired,
"...What does that include?" Mr. Colyer stated, "Single heads." Manager McLemore
said, "Single heads there?" Mr. Suddeth stated, "Yes." Mr. Colyer then stated, "And
single heads back there..." Manager McLemore then asked, ".. .And does it include the
other Acorn's back here..." Mr. Colyer stated, "...It does include the Acorn's, but they're
single..." Manager McLemore inquired, ".. .Double or single..." Mr. Colyer said,
".. .Single..." Manager McLemore inquired, ". ..And those meet your lighting
requirements?" Mr. Colyer responded, "We're fine with those - with the addition of the
WLS light - the new decorative light, we're okay." Manager McLemore then said, "The
other issue which we never really settled last time - there are two (2) or three (3) lights
back in the parking lot here that are Modern types and I just need to be clear on this so
the Commission..." Mr. Colyer stated, "...We're replacing all of the Modern lights."
Manager McLemore added, "They're all going right. . ." Mr. Colyer then said, ".. .All of
the Modern lights."

Sheppard's there, and we were okay with that - we asked for that replacement of that
Modem pole right there with a Sheppard, and we would need to know if you are going to
do that, because we agreed to do that the last time." Mr. Suddeth stated, "That fixture
there will be like this fixture here, except for a single..." Manager McLemore said,
".. .It's going to look like that..." Mr. Suddeth explained, ".. .It's got a Modem disc on it
now, so we are going to take the disc off and put one of these on it, so it will lend the
appearance of a Sheppard." Manager McLemore then stated, "I just wanted to point out
for the Commission what we had agreed to before, and that was that that light would be
replaced with a Sheppard light, so now you are saying you will use that other type
fixtUre; and this intersection would be triple heads at the four (4) comers to accent that.
We would have additional Acorn's back here and additional Acorn's along here, and that
is what we agreed to the last time including enhancing the fountain a little bit, and getting
rid of the spandrel glass."
With further discussion, Commissioner McLeod said to Manager McLemore, "So if they
could dress that coiner up with the Acorn's as they are coming down here, all of a sudden
they have got four (4) of them right there in the intersection, doesn't that dress it up
also?" Manager McLemore explained, "My point being that they are at these positions
not one here, not one over here, like they were. You would install them right, like this,
right?" Mr. Suddeth stated, "That's correct." Commissioner McLeod asked Manager
McLemore, "So you're fine with that?" Manager McLemore stated, "I can live with
that. "
With discussion on the fountain, Mr. Colyer stated, "Ron [McLemore], just like the ones
we have on the signs coming into the project - it's what you are looking for - just some
up-lighting." Manager McLemore stated, "Yes, basically bright and white." Further
discussion.
Manager McLemore suggested, "We can get our Landscape Architect who is doing the
rest of the project for us, and we will give him a spec." With additional discussion,
Manager McLemore stated, "We'll provide them with a spec for lighting and the - color,
whether it is best to paint or best stained."
"I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE
LIGHTING PLAN AS PRESENTED TONIGHT MAKING THAT DOCUMENT
AND EACH OF THE PICTURES PART OF THE RECORD AND I HOPE
THERE IS A LEGEND ON THERE THAT EXPLAINS WHAT EACH OF THOSE
COLORED DOTS MEANS; TO INCLUDE THE. REPLACMENT OF THE
WHITE SPANDREL GLASS ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE OF THE PUBLIX
BUILDING, TO MAKE IT THE SIMILAR GLASS THAT IS ON THE OTHER
BUILDINGS USED - THE DARKER SMOKE-COLORED GLASS AND TO
