Ms. Eloise Sahlstrom, AICP, ASLA, Senior Planner, Community Development Department presented this Agenda Item and stated, "It is a Comprehensive Plan Amendment" and continued to inform the Board Members on this topic. Continuing, Ms. Sahlstrom noted that, "We are planning to take this to the Commission at our last Commission Meeting in July [2010] so it can be Transmitted and we will get it back barely in time to put it out there for Adoption." The Future Land Use Element was discussed. Mr. Brian Fields, P.E., City Engineer, Public Works Department addressed the Board Members to further explain the Citywide Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA). The Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) Zones were displayed. Chairman Lacey asked, "How different is the red version we have here than what you sent us ?" Ms. Sahlstrom replied, "The main portion that is different is the part that deals with the Transportation Element which is beginning on page 4. There were a few minor tweaks to other Elements, but primarily the majority are in this part, the Transportation Element." Discussion ensued on Intergovernmental Coordination Element, Objective 1.3: Transportation Coordination. Regarding street lighting along Tuskawilla Road, Mr. Fields stated, "I think to — research the history on that, we probably have to get with Steve Richart (Urban Beautification Services Division Manager, Community Development Department). He really is probably the single person who is most informed about street lights throughout Winter Springs both in the public streets and State and County roads. I will be glad to get with Steve (Richart) tomorrow and see what he knows about that. Maybe he can provide some insight that we do not have here tonight and we can get back to you on that." Further discussion. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA UNAPPROVED MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY REGULAR MEETING — JULY 14, 2010 (RESCHEDULED FROM JULY 7, 2010) PAGE 6 OF 10 Ms. Sahlstrom stated, "As we move forward in defining what future costs we will have, we will probably want to revisit our Transportation Impact Fee and broaden it so it is not just related to building roads." The Transportation Element was discussed next. Mr. Fields stated, "This plan deliberately does not specify the detail in which these Mobility Strategies will be funded and where that burden will fall on the City. Will it be by Grant money, by Impact Fees or new Fees? It does not specifically say that. I would look at the Mobility Strategies more as mitigation." Continuing, Mr. Fields said, "We do not know what the State is expecting as far as funding, but we are going to work our way through with the Strategies at least and then hopefully detail that process at another time. You are not being asked to Approve any new Impact Fees — it is just the conceptual framework for Strategies, which we feel like by Law we are required to implement." Ms. Sahlstrom explained the term "BRT" or Bus Rapid Transit to the Board Members. Photographs of Transit Preferential Treatments were shown. Tape 2/Side A In regard to Policy 1.11.9: Annually determine the City's percentage of achievement of mobility strategies and multimodal 0/LOS (Quality/Level of Service)., Ms. Sahlstrom stated, "We will continue to work with Seminole County and the Cities to ensure that we are coordinating with them and coordinating Mobility Strategies and we are also coordinating opportunities and looking at our personal needs within the City." Mr. Fields asked, "They are getting a lot tonight and they are being asked to act on this, would it be acceptable even after tonight if they had more time to review this or if they had questions or comments, could they get those to us before the next Commission Meeting on the 26 (July 2010) ?" Ms. Sahlstrom replied, "What I will do is, I will need a recommendation from you tonight, but then if you find other things that you question or that you have comments about, I can include that in my Agenda Item to the Commission." Ms. Sahlstrom noted that, "We absolutely need to go forward on the 26 (July 2010) and to get Transmittal to get this to the State." Chairman Lacey then asked Ms. Sahlstrom, "Did you want to address specifically the Intergovernmental (Coordination Element) or Capital Improvements Element ?" Ms. Sahlstrom responded, "That has not changed that much since from what I previously sent out, but I can go over it if you like." Chairman Lacey replied, "Not necessary." Chairman Lacey opened the "Public Input" portion of this Agenda Item.

PUBLIC HEARINGS 501. Community Development Department — Planning Division Requests That The Local Planning Agency Hold A Public Hearing For Consideration Of Ordinance 2010 -20, Amending The Comprehensive Plan Related To The GreeneWay Interchange District (GID). Ms. Sahlstrom presented this Agenda Item and stated, "The Attorney felt that we needed to separate this from the other because the other one dealt with Mobility. This item really is talking about the Residential portion of the GreeneWay Interchange District and as I mentioned in the Agenda Item, it was brought to the attention of Staff by discussions with the — primary property owner that they may need some tweaks to a few of the policies to give better flexibility." Discussion. Mr. Stevenson stated, "We did want to make it a Conditional Use. We did want to limit it to Vertically Integrated. We have allowed up to seventy -five percent (75 %) of any one building to try to be flexible in that area while not allowing a one hundred percent (100 %) residential building or a one hundred percent (100 %) residential community because we do not think that is the intent of our GM ( GreeneWay Interchange District). CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA UNAPPROVED MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY REGULAR MEETING - JULY 14, 2010 (RESCHEDULED FROM JULY 7, 2010) PAGE 8 OF 10 But, there was a request to allow certain incidental Residential Uses associated with the primary use and that is where we want to go with this at this point in time. Again, this would all have to be detailed more in the Code but this is the basic framework for Residential in the GID (GreeneWay Interchange District)." Referencing the Future Land Use Policy, Ms. Sahlstrom stated, "The other item — we are adding a line to is Policy 3.2.4 Intensity and Building Height just saying that `Ancillary buildings may be excluded from the two story minimum by action of the City Commission'." Discussion. Chairman Lacey opened the "Public Input" portion of this Agenda Item. No one spoke. Chairman Lacey closed the "Public Input" portion of this Agenda Item. "I MOVE THAT WE RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COMMISSION BASED ON THIS PUBLIC HEARING, WE FAVORABLY RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COMMISSION ORDINANCE 2010 -20 AMENDING THE FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RELATED TO THE GREENEWAY INTERCHANGE DISTRICT INCORPORATING THE CHANGES THAT WAS VERBALLY MENTIONED IN THIS HEARING."

In other business, Deputy City Clerk Joan Brown reminded the Board Members of the Town Hall Meeting on Monday, July 19, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall. Discussion ensued on the responsibilities and duties of the Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Board and suggested changes to the Application and Review Process. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA UNAPPROVED MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY REGULAR MEETING - JULY 14, 2010 (RESCHEDULED FROM JULY 7, 2010) PAGE 9 OF 10 Chairman Lacey said, "My primary goal in any of this is that we reduce the process for Applicants coming through so the people don't come to the Planning and Zoning and possibly be paying an Engineer or possibly be paying an Attorney to sit through this and have this process basically be nothing but a dry run for them to take the same exact thing and go forward and do it a second time in front of the Commission. So, if there is essentially some delegation of authority down to Staff at a certain level then down to Planning and Zoning (Board/Local Planning Agency) at another level where someone can come forth and feel like they accomplished something when they get an Approval or they get a denial or a request for changes out of this Board which I don't think is the case today. And then - my second goal was to take away - where we have one (1) set of rules for the Town Center or one (1) set of processes for the Town Center and another set of processes for outside the Town Center." For the Record, Board Member Howard Casman noted his agreement with the Application and Review process discussed by Chairman Lacey. With further discussion on suggested changes, Chairman Lacey stated, "I discussed with Randy (Stevenson) reengaging on the topic to figure out what the best approach should be. So, we can continue down that path, but I think it might be better if we can get Staff engaged so that we can schedule this as an Agenda Item and then present it jointly from this Board with Staff's support to lay out a process for them. Any comments on that process ?" There were no objections voiced. In regard to preparing an Agenda Item to propose suggestions on the duties and responsibilities of the Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency and the Application and Review Process, Mr. Stevenson stated, "Staff will work diligently to try to get that back before you sooner rather than later. Mr. Chairman - we really don't want to wait for another Meeting - and we are still working on that. What would be your preference for Staff to get that proposed Agenda Item language to the members of this body ?" Chairman Lacey replied, "I think you know from this discussion and previous what we are interested in doing, so I am comfortable with you preparing that Item and putting it on the Commission and then we will handle verbally as part of that presentation our own take on it." Mr. Stevenson replied, "Okay." Chairman Lacey asked, "Agreed ?" There were no objections from the Board. Continuing, Chairman Lacey said, "So, can you be ready for the Meeting twelve (12) days from now ?" Mr. Stevenson said, "No." Chairman Lacey then asked, "Can you be ready for the first Meeting in August ?" Mr. Stevenson said, "It is my target, yes. That would be August 9 [2010]."

Chairman Lacey replied, "I don't think it is necessary. Do you think you need a Vote from this Board ?" Mr. Stevenson replied, "Do I have Consensus ?" Board Member Karr replied, "Yes." Board Member Casman said, "Yes." Chairman Lacey replied, "Yes, you have Consensus. Are you satisfied ?" There was no objection.
