FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Q: What is the issue being discussed at the workshop?
A: As part of Tuscawilla Units 12/12A, a 3,000 foot common
element wall was constructed by a developer approximately
26 years ago within a utility easement along Winter Springs
Boulevard and Northern Way. The wall provides a visual
buffering and noise abatement from the adjoining roadway in
addition to being part of an integrated entry feature to the
four roads leading into the subdivision. There has been no
Home Owner's Association in place to care for the wall and
minimal maintenance has occurred over the years to ensure that
it would remain structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing.
As a result, the wall is currently in an a state of disrepair and
could collapse in multiple areas. Finding an equitable solution to
the issue of repairing the wall is currently being discussed with
area residents. You participation related to this important issue
is being solicited by the City!
Q: Why is the City involved in the Unit 12/12A wall issue?
A: Residents of Tuscawilla recently approached the City with
concerns about the condition of this wall and have requested
assistance in determining public interest for repairing the wall.
City Officials are responding by holding a Commission Work-
shop at City Hall on January 30, 2012 at 6pm to facilitate discus-
sions between Residents, Commissioners and City Staff.
Q: Which property owners are
affected by the wall issue?
A: Only ninety property owners
located within Tuscawilla Units
12/12A are directly affected by
the wall issue.
Q: What are some topics that may be discussed at the
workshop related to the wall?
A: 1. Location and ownership.
2. Condition of the wall.
3. What can be done and who would do it.
4. Cost of repair or replacement.
5. Community feedback.
Q: Will a decision about the wall be made at the work-
shop and will I have other opportunities to express
my opinion?
A: No, a decision will not be made at the workshop. De-
pending upon interest generated, however, the City may
hold additional public meetings where residents would
have an opportunity to further discuss the wall issue
with the Commission. In addition, a non - binding 'straw
ballot' could be delivered to each property owner within
Tuscawilla Units 12/12A, allowing for input to be sent
