]vIs. Casey Edwards, ] 00 Stone Gable Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: who lives
adjacent to the Villaggio project, spoke of her concern with new lights, and the comer of
the eight foot (8) wall near her home which drops to six feet (6) at that part.
Commissioner Blake noted, 'We have an Ordinance- Development Code that does not
allow light over a certain level to spillover into the adjacent properties and Ron
[McLemore], as I recall, there was - an Illumination Study done on this as well -
Photometric- and I think one of things we discussed was light coming from the parking
area in the shopping center over into the residential area, so we just need to make sure
that whatever they put up and turned on, meets that Code:'
Ms. Edwards noted, 'The parking lot is fine, it was just they added probably about a
month ago, they added these side lights on the building that backs up to my land-and ifs
just on that one side. Everything else seems to be fine:'
Mayor Bush noted, 'Mr. McLemore will check with the Developer on this and either he
will get back with you, or bring it to the Commission at the next Meeting:'
Ms. Joanne Krebs, 1002 Taproot Drive, Winter Springs, Florida: thanked the City
Commission for the wonderful Holiday weekend; and suggested that our City
Commission do what Winter Garden did for their residents~Changed the Code-regarding
the Building Codes where that driving rain came in through the- homes- did all sorts of
damage-wood damage, drywall damage-they actually are requiring the sealing and extra
painting because most signs point to that as was the reason that a lot of this damage
occurred:' Next, Ms. Krebs added that she was in favor Agenda Item '500' and noted her
preference for '4B'.
Manager McLemore noted, 'Mr. Mayor, we're already addressing that Code issue:'

close the store, how would the Future Land Use change?'
Mayor Bush stated, 'We just got that document and I know that our Attorney has not had a
chance to review any of that information:'

Presents To The City Commission A Request For A Special Exception To Allow An
Additional Telecommunications Co-Locator To Place Ground Equipment
(Associated With Co-Locating Additional Antennae On An Existing
, Telecommunications Tower) Within A 100' X 100' Lease Site, Pursuant To Chapter
30 Of The Seminole County Code.
Ms. Sahlstrom introduced this Agenda Item and stated, 'He did indicate that a Special
Exception would be required for the equipment-the additional equipment and facilities
that would be located on the ground. The equipment that will be located is actually
shorter than the existing fence height. There is actu~lly an error in your Staff Report
where it says its taller than the fence, but the fence is in fact eight feet (8') and the existing
equipment and future equipment would be less than that.
Staff believes that the primary issue is whether this new equipment would be adequately
screened. We have been told that there will be no lighting of the Tower; that the FAA
[Federal Aviation Administration] will not require lighting and that the equipment does
not generate any noise and its not a microwave dish:'

Ms. Sahlstrom further stated, 'The City Arborist made some comments that were given to
the Applicant at the - BOA [Board of Adjustment] Meeting. And the Applicant did
indicate that he would comply with all the comments. In your packet of materials, you
have both what was the initial submittal plus an additional two (2) sheets that were added
at the back that show the change of adding more vegetation around that to screen it
further. And the Applicant has indicated that they would irrigate this vegetation:'
Further discussion.
Mr. Richard Shirah, Earth Com Services representing Spectra Site, 109 Thompson Cove,
Saint Simons Island, Georgia: stated that'The work that we do; we work for a variety of
carriers, in this case ifs Sprint. One of the first things that they expect us to do when we
go out looking for sites is to find something we can co-locate on. In this case this tower
was well located fot that, because ifs fitting in between other sites in the area. So thafs
the reason this one was chosen. If you go very far away "from this, then you defeat the
purpose of being there because ifs there - to fill in that - hole to provide the coverage for
the area - what we would call the Radio Frequency Objective:'
Discussion.
Mayor Bush opened the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.
Ms. Robin Germillion, 1570 Wescott Loop, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke on this
Tower being pleasing to the eye, and inquired as to how many additions there could be.
Mr. Shirah stated, 'When you go to a stealth type, what we call a close mount situation-
what you're talking about - of course whafs there already has the mounts on if' Mr. Shirah
continued, ''If you do the close mount, it limits the number of antennas you can use- but,
what it does is then limits the capacity of that site, so a typical site you would want to get
on there - in this case, they want six (6) antennas, which can be done with what you call
'stiff ~ mounts':'
Next, Mr. Shirah noted, '2\s far as converting this to some kind of camouflage or stealth
structure in the future, thafs a very difficult thing to do. I have done quite a number of
camouflage towers, pine trees, flag poles, whatever - they need to fit wherever they go -
because most places where they have a camouflage tower - there will be a requirement
that it be architecturally and aesthetically compatible. In regard to the ground equipment
here, we are simply putting in a 14 x 16 pad - concrete pad, for a cabinet type facility.
Our cabinet type ground equipment that will be below the level of the fence - as far as the
top of that equipment.

One of the issues that was raised in the BOA [Board of Adjustment] was the noise factor.
Sprint- in this case, they are not putting a generator on site. The only time that they
would need to do so would be in the case of an emergency and at that time, they have an
inventory of portable generators they bring to the site:' Furthermore, Mr. Shirah said,
';A.Iso, we talked about a drainage issue, and I think some of the neighbors were concerned
about - due to the wetness of the area out there that it would cause a problem. We would
put in the system so that it would strictly only water the plants that are there; and that was
a requirement of your Arborist so we want to comply with that.
The reason we did not bring that totally to a head was because we understand there could
be potentially a problem with the salinity of the water out there. So, we didn't have quite
enough time but we wanted to continue to move forward with this. And, so we need to
get our hands on a Landscape Architect in Florida to do the homework that needs to be
done to be sure we do this and do it right. In the event that the salinity is a problem, then
we've got to find another source of water. And ifs a decent distance away from visual
observation out there. But what we want to do is regardless - is provide what we need to
provide to insure the longevity of the plantings:'
Manager McLemore said, 'My personal recommendation to you would be to Table this
Item tonight; and have this gentleman bring in the - photo renderings of the different
types of stealth type antennas that go on these posts so that you can see those. If he can't
bring them, I have access to them before you make this decision:' Manager McLemore
further added, "You are trying to limit the obtrusiveness of the antennae thafs on the pole
itself to surrounding property owners and there are options for doing that and I think you
ought to know what those are before you make a decision:'
Deputy Mayor Miller remarked, ''If we go that route, I would also like to see some artist
renditions of what - the extension would look like with the antennas on if' Deputy Mayor
Miller commented, 'The other thing is, we have an airport just to the north of us - what is
the height at which you have to have a beacon on the top?'
Mr. Shirah said, 'There is no absolute height. Generally speaking, at 200 feet is when we
have to go to the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] to request them to verify that
there is no determination of a safety hazard; 200 feet is the cut-off point. In this case,
wdve already done our homework on this, and there will not be any kind of problem with
the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration):'
Commissioner Blake said, "1 do not have any information whatsoever regarding the
Countys Rural-3 Land Use designation, or the Agricultural-3 Zoning classification. What
the requirements are; what is allowed; what is not allowed; what is required to have a
Special Exception and Land Use issues of this sort are quite complex and take some time
in order for us to comprehend what the rules are prior to making a decision.

What I would recommend, Mr. Manager, and I will make a Motion to this effect, is that
your questions about information on different types of Towers, stealthiness of those
Towers, issues of that sort; I think are good issues to look at, but before we even get
there, I think this Commission needs to hold a Workshop looking at some information on
what the County's Land Use rules are, since we are, at this point in time, required to apply
their rules to this application. And to not render any decision on this Application until
such time that the Commission understands exactly what the Zoning and Land Use
requirements are for the County at that location~'
Mayor Bush closed the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.
"I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE TABLE THIS
APPLICATION AT THIS TIME, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE
WILL SCHEDULE A WORKSHOP - I THINK IT IS PROBABLY GOING TO

Mr. Reny stated, "On the cantilevered roofs - on the cantilevered sections of the rear of the

roofs and it sticks out two feet (2') from the back of the building - and then it has a similar
corbel just to kind of give it that same look:' Mr. Reny added, 'That is a six foot (6') fence
that comes out to the depth of the patios:' With further comments, Mr. Reny added, ''Iis an
eight foot (8') patio.': Deputy Mayor Robert S. Miller said, ~'.Eght feet (8'), so the fence will

Discussion
Commissioner Blake said to Mr. Reny, "Didn't we decide that an opaque wall would be
more appropriate, both for sound considerations and for its opaqueness?' Commissioner
Blake continued by saying, 'My recollection was clearly th~at we had agreed that that
portion there on [State Road] 434 would have an opaque wall, preferably brick:'
With discussion, Mr. Reny stated, "Can a CMU [Concrete Masonry Unit] wall that is
stuccoed, that ties into those cultured stone faced columns, is that acceptable? Is that
what you are asking me to do?' Commissioner Blake said, ''Yes, the columns that you
already have out here, those are the same stone as this, and that can certainly tie them
together:' Mr. Reny asked, ''So it is not necessarily a brick wall?' Commissioner Blake
said, ''When I say brick, yes, you are absolutely correct. I am looking for the opaqueness
and I want it to look like a quality development:' With further discussion, Commissioner
Blake noted, 'These trees still need to be there:' Mr. Reny added, 'The trees are going to
be there:' Commissioner Blake said, 'Right:' Mr. Reny added, ''I agree:' Regarding the
height ofthis wall, Mr. Reny said,''I will concede to the five foot (5') wall:'
Furthermore, Mr. Reny added, ''fin fine with the French Doors:'
With further discussion, Commissioner McGinnis stated, "I would support a low - wall:'
Manager McLemore said, 'just a point of consideration, you may have a better looking
wall since he has got six foot (6~ columns, and ifhe agreed to a four foot (4~ between the
columns rather than five foot (5') to get the variation in height, and still accomplish what
you are trying to do:'

Deputy Mayor Miller said, ''I think: the wall in the front is a good idea, I really do. I don't
like walls probably any more than anybody else does- but on that particular location, I
think: it ought to be six feet (6'). I think: that you can put the design in the wall so that it

Mr. Reny said, 'What happened is when we went to our final Platting Review-there was a
discrepancy between two (2) of our plans and the twenty foot (20') setback. And I know
the twenty foot (20') setback was a huge issue during the Commission hearings on this
project. So we took a good hard look at it-and what happened was our Architects on two
(2) of the units had drawn the garage projecting on one of them - it was nine inches (9')
further and the other one it was one foot nine inches (1' 9') ahead. And I know that the
twenty foot (20') driveway has been the issue all along to keep the cars out of the street,
and so on and so forth.

What I did when I discovered this issue, since we are going to Plat next week - the
overall dimension of the pad with the patio needed to be fifty-one and a half inches (51
Yi') but it ended up being on two (2) of the units; the longest one was fifty-three and a half
[inches] (53 Vi'). So what we did is we came up with a couple of options to see if we
could run them by you to try to solve this issue. One of them was to simply push the
buildings back two feet (2') and stay within our ten foot (10') setbacks; reduce our patio to
a six foot (6') patio instead of an eight foot (8') patio. And what that does is that - a lot of
the driveways get longer; it actually helps us on most of the units, or at least helps this
parking issue of keeping cars out of the sidewalk. And what it does is it reduces our patio
depth~' Mr. Reny further stated, 'This is most of the buildings. There are five (5)
buildings that are not affected by this issue. And ifs all to get the twenty foot (20')
drivewaY:'
Mr. Reny continued, 'The other options I have- your garage minimum depth is eighteen
feet (18') and what I can do on those two (2) plans is still-accomplish a twenty foot (20')
parking space by - and I brought some Architectural Drawings, by recessing those two
(2) garage doors. One of them needs to recess four inches (4') and one of them needs to
recess one foot nine inches (1' 9'). And that leaves me with an overall of eighteen foot
eleven (18' 11'') in one (1) garage and nineteen foot eight (19' 8'), whereas I usually have
twenty foot (20') inside dimensions. And on my Developers Agreement, it shows an
eighteen foot (18') minimum depth on a garage. You can see the ones that are highlighted
in yellow:'
Discussion.
Mr. Reny said, "I can meet all the setback requirements but I have to drop it to a six foot
(6') deep patio rather than an eight foot (8') deep patio:' Commissioner McLeod then said,
'Q11O, 11, and 137' Mr. Reny responded, ''On those, I do not. Because I - just need to
meet that six foot (6') requirement. If I could drop the six foot (6') requirement to four
foot (4'), then I could make it:'
Mr. Reny added, "And these are the only ones since I have got that seven foot (7')
minimum between the property line; those are the only ones that I would have to change
the patio size on:' Commissioner McGinnis noted, "A six foot (6') patio is like a stoop:'
Mr. Reny continued,''Iknow. It wasn't something I wantedto do. We made a mistake; it
was an error:'

the decision you have is to change the garage design, your preference is to do all of them
that way, is that correct?' Mr. Reny said, "Absolutely. I would like to redesign it and give
everybody the same type of garage - then you get some continuity through the
communiti' Commissioner Blake said, ''I would be concerned about pushing them back

Attorney Garganese stated, 'One of the conditions is that if the business ceases to operate,
then the Permit will terminate. And the question in the Applicanfs mind is what do you
mean by cease to do business in the event the building is damaged, because of a hurricane
or some other natural disaster, or fire. Would they be permitted to rebuild the business
and continue operating, or is the damage to the building constitute a cessation of the
business where they lose their Permit right?' Commissioner Blake said, 'The intent is if
you cease operations, that the Permit would end. That was my intent, which certainly
doesn't mean for some unforeseen event, act of God, loss of electricity for an extended
period of time- things that are not due to your own control. If you closed down due to
financial reasons, that would be a cease of operations; if you close down because of a
hurricane, as Anthony stated, or the fire, and-those have always been allowed to rebuild:'
Attorney Garganese noted, "Ceasing to do business, does not include if there is an Act of
God, and there is damage to the business, and they have to stop operating for a period of
time while they are rebuilding, that is nota cessation-of business:' Commissioner Blake
said, "Correcf'
Commissioner McLeod said,'Wouldn't there be a time frame-say 120 day time frame that-
he would have to apply for a Building Permit?' Commissioner McLeod added, "I think
you have to have a time to apply for the Permit, and the Permit has its own time frame:'
Commissioner Blake said,"Anthony [Garganese] or Ron [McLemore], is there going to be
something in writing on this?' Attorney Garganese said, ''Yes:' Commissioner Blake then
suggested, 'Why don't we leave it to Staff to construct the actual written Permit so that it
encompasses these issues:' With discussion, Commissioner McLeod said, ''If you think
180 days is fair time, I don't have a problem with that:' Commissioner Blake said, "I don't
know what the number is, I just know what the intent is:' Commissioner McLeod noted,
"1.80 days:'
Mr. Montgomery then said, 'We have 180 days to apply for the Permit, which does not
include completing whatever damage-or repairs?' Commissioner Blake said, ''Right. We
also have already built into the Code, requirements for how long a Permit is good for:'
With further discussion as to ownership, Commissioner Blake noted, "As long as there is
no change in control, then it continues to exist, but as soon as you no longer have control,
then the Permit would cease to exist for that location:' Mr. Montgomery then said, ''So
therefore, we could transfer from one family member to another, and another family
member and that would be acceptable under this provision?' Deputy Mayor Miller
suggested, ''! think we need to have - his questions put on paper and brought back:'
Commissioner Blake said, ''! think these are the minutia that we give to Staff to nail down:'
Regarding some of these issues, Mayor Bush said, ''! think he [Mr. Montgomery] needs to
work with Mr. McLemore and the Attorney to iron out some of these details, and bring
them back for the Commission, if the Attorney and Mr. McLemore think they are

have a problem with the two (2) story height of the buildings; the required heights we
will certainly adhere to, that is stipulated in your Town Center guidelines. Thafs not a
problem. We have frankly never contemplated that the parking spaces on the public
right-of-way would be allowed, but frankly just tried to show something that was
consistent with what we saw in your diagrams.
Discussion.
Mr. Boyd said, 'They all actually appear to be functioning two (2) story buildings- what
we proposed to Mr. McLemore was that two (2) of the four (4) buildings on the
Tuscawilla Road side, would actually be functioning two (2) story buildings:'

Deputy Mayor Miller said, 'Thafs what we are trying to get - we are trying to get
pedestrians. I would like to see some thought given to things that make it nice for people
to hang around, and you have a few of those shown here:' Furthermore, Deputy Mayor
Miller suggested, ''I would like to see some thought given to things that might make it nice
for people to want to just sit down:'
Commissioner Blake complimented Mr. Boyd and added, ''I would be a little happier if the
parking lot area next to Walgreen's that fronts [State Road] 434 wasn't fronting [State
Road] 434, if that could somehow be replaced with a structure:' Furthermore,
Commissioner Blake added, "A two (2) story is really important, and it is really important
along-the edge, the road way. And the parapet isn'tas nice, and that is better than just
some roof that is coming out from the one (1) story level, but, you have to have some
level of activity up there, and I appreciate the discussion to have two (2) buildings over
here on the Tuscawilla [Road] side, but I think in conjunction with that to make it work,
you have got to have this small building-next to the Walgreen's or whatever it happens to
be-a functional two (2) story building as well.
There may be a way to have some parallel parking along this bottom edge drive, perhaps-
while it is not the most desirable parking, it is still additional capacity that would offset
what is drawn in but clearly won't occur over on Tuskawilla Road:' Commissioner Blake
added, ''From where I sit, I would not be against allowing parallel parking on that
roadway, in fact I think that road is going to be an important road to use some Traffic
Calming features:'
Commissioner McGinnis said, ''I am also concerned about just two (2) of the units - being
occupied. I don't agree that the one over by Walgreen's is necessarily the best place for
the third one:'
Deputy Mayor Miller remarked to Mr. Boyd, "If you come in here, and you bring in a
rendition of Walgreen's, and if ifs not something that could immediately changed into
something else, I am not going to vote in favor of it:'
Next, Deputy Mayor Miller said, ''I will make the Motion that we approve in concept the-
Conceptual Development Plan taking into consideration the comments made by the
various Commissioners with regard to issues pertinent to the plan:'
In regards to the two (2) story issue, Commissioner Blake said, "In my opinion, the place
where a two (2) story is most critical, in terms of an operating two (2) story, is on that
bricked portion of Tuskawilla - the main street portion - north of [State Road] 434. That
is where I think it is most critical; as well as along [State Road] 434 as you are coming
into or going out of the Town Center."

Mr. Boyd commented, 'The most northerly building on Tuskawilla to have the second
story space - I can't do it above the Walgreen's, but we could do it with the other building
to the south there on [State Road] 434, and the northerly most, because that would help
perhaps the view from the intersection; so we're not locked in Councilmen, to the
Tuskawilla side:'
Mr. James "Jed" Downs, AlA, NCARB, Vice President, Cuhaci & Peterson, Architects,
1220 Alden Road, Orlando, Florida: addressed second floor and elevator requirements,
and related building issues.
Manager McLemore stated, ''1 would like to have some additional discussion with the
Developer here, and leave this issue of a second floor unresolved right now:'
"I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT THE COMMISSION MAKE A FINDING
THAT THEY LIKE THIS CONCEPTUAL PLAN AND THAT THE TWO (2)
STORY ISSUE WILL REMAIN OPEN UNTIL NEXT MEETING." MOTION BY
