RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Commission approve the Final Engineering, Aesthetic Review Plans, and Developer's Agreement for the Winter Springs Retirement Residence, and authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to prepare and execute any and all applicable documents. Mr. Brian Fields, P.E., Director, Community Development Department introduced this Agenda Item and spoke of the proposed project and addressed aspects related to Special Exceptions. Regarding Special Exceptions an the Development Agreement, Mr. Fields pointed out, "If the DA (Development Agreement) expires, the whole project expires including the Special Exceptions." Addressing Aesthetic Review information, Mr. Fields noted the urban style FIN sign and remarked, "It says `Winter Springs' here on display, that will have a specific name for this project that's yet to be determined. So, that's really a placeholder at this time. We don't know that name." Final Engineering was referenced next by Mr. Fields who mentioned signalization, sidewalks, parking, stormwater and a new lift station in addition to other comments. Commissioner Cannon asked about the definition of adult congregate living. Next, Commissioner Cannon asked if there was a need for a right deceleration lane, to which Mr. Fields said it had been discussed although nothing was definite right now. Commissioner Pam Carroll referenced the comments about when Michael Blake Boulevard and Tuskawilla Road might meet and inquired whether drivers would have to turn right or would drivers have to cross Tuskawilla Road. Mr. Fields noted, "It would be a full median opening on Tuskawilla, so you could go out to Tuskawilla and make a left and go south on Tuskawilla." Mr. Fields added, "To your point, it needs to be very closely monitored for safety." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 22, 2018 PAGE 8 OF 12 Further comments followed on the setbacks, electric power lines, traffic signalization, and the brick exterior. Deputy Mayor Cade Resnick inquired about staffing. Mr. Mark Lowen, Senior Land Use Specialist, Lenity Architecture, 3150 Kettle Court, SE, Salem, Oregon: stated, "Our staffing is about twenty -four (24). The majority of that staff is early a.m. to early afternoon. The rest comes late morning, late afternoon to cover all of our meals. We do have a manager and co- manager couple who live on site 24/7. Each one of our individual suites have pull cords in the bathrooms and near the bed. It's a non - medical facility so we don't have medical staff but we have people on staff 24/7, and our management staff is trained to deal with and evaluate situations, dial 9 -1- 1 ." Next, Deputy Mayor Resnick asked if the building FIN sign was required to which Mr. Fields said, "The sign is subject to review." Mr. Fields then mentioned options for signage. Commissioner Carroll mentioned she thought the proposed signage resembled art deco style and thought it was innovative. Continuing the discussion, Commissioner Cannon further inquired about adult congregate living. Mr. Lowen stated, "Unless stipulated by a jurisdiction, our standard lease is fifty -five (55) years or older." Commissioner Cannon noted that he did not want this project to turn into an apartment complex. Mr. Lowen remarked, "And neither do we." Commissioner Cannon asked City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese if this could be included in a Development Agreement. Attorney Garganese then said, "I would recommend the Developer agrees to put it into the Development Agreement." Mr. Lowen stated, "We have no problem with that whatsoever." Commissioner Carroll asked if a resident of this proposed community became a guardian for say a grandchild, how would that be handled? Furthermore, Commissioner Carroll specifically inquired, "Can the grandchild live there or would they have to move out ?" Mr. Lowen stated, "Unfortunately, I guess she would." Mr. Lowen further pointed out that there is a guest suite for visitors and remarked, "No minor residents." Commissioner Geoff Kendrick asked about their anticipated absorption rate. Mr. Lowen responded, "We anticipate once we break ground, about a twelve to fourteen (12 — 14) month construction process. Once we're completed beyond that, in this area, I would say we're probably going to be — eighty to ninety percent (80 - 90 %) occupied in the first six to nine (6 - 9) months, and I think we'll be completely full within a year." Mayor Lacey opened "Public Input" on this Agenda Item. Mr. Kevin McCann, 1109 Pheasant Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: asked if Tuskawilla Crossings was to be gated. Mr. Fields responded that streets in the Town Center are all public streets. Mr. Charles "Chuck" Costar, III, Partner, Shutts & Bowen LLP, 300 South Orange Avenue, Suite 1600, Orlando, Florida: representing Hawthorn Retirement Group, Mr. Costar remarked about the age restriction comments and stated, "I think everything is fine if we stick with an age restricted community definition." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 22, 2018 PAGE 9 OF 12 Furthermore, Mr. Costar added, "It provides some flexibility so that you could have somebody who is - less than fifty -five (55) years of age but it's restricted, it's limited. I mean that's the purpose of the community. So, I'd like to go make sure that we're clear that we go with some of those statutory restrictions I think that there are for those kinds of communities." ... Continuing, Mr. Costar added, "There may be a possibility under the law that someone who is younger than fifty -five (55) years could be in there but it would be as part of someone who is fifty -five (55) or older, that is a resident of the facility." Commissioner Cannon mentioned his preference would be "Fifty -five (55) and older ". Further discussion. Attorney Garganese addressed the City's Code and Florida Statutes in terms of adult congregate living facilities and other similar terminology. Remarks continued. Commissioner Carroll asked if the Applicant had experienced any situations with age related special exceptions. Mr. Costar commented on school concurrency matters, restrictive covenants, and not discriminating against individuals of a particular age. Mr. Lowen mentioned a few situations they have experienced related to a change in level of care for a resident, as well as a resident over age fifty -five (55) with a spouse younger than fifty -five (55). Mr. Lowen added, "I think our lease says, `Fifty -five (55) years and older or with similar levels of need'; and - we are not a care facility. I want to always underline, we are not a licensed care facility." Mayor Lacey closed "Public Input" on this Agenda Item. Commissioner Cannon suggested that we could always amend the Development Agreement in the future if a need arises, and asked Attorney Garganese for his suggestions on what should be included in the Motion. Attorney Garganese suggested some wording and pointed out, "I know there is a Florida Statute about a safe harbor for fifty -five (55) and older communities..." Mr. Costar stated, "...That's right..." Attorney Garganese continued, "...I'm sure that's what you're getting at, you want to fit into that safe harbor and not be subject to an age discrimination claim..." Mr. Costar responded, "...Correct." Attorney Garganese also addressed related Federal Laws. Deputy Mayor Resnick referred to some Florida Statutes that he had reviewed and mentioned concern with some guidelines and rules. Further brief discussion. Attorney Garganese then asked the Applicant, "How would you handle that under your admission criteria? You have a husband and wife, they go to independent living, and one meets the fifty -five (55) and older requirement, and the other does not ?" Mr. Lowen pointed out, "Let's say we had a sixty (60) and we have a fifty (50) or fifty -four (54), we'd probably let them stay, both of them. But it's incredibly rare. Again, keep in mind that our median age is eighty -two (82) years old and they usually live with us until they are in their late eighties..." Deputy Mayor Resnick then said, "...So, then my question is, by dictating this, do we limit that couple from moving in ?" CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 22, 2018 PAGE 10 OF 12 Mr. Costar stated, "I think as long as we stick with an age restricted community and protect the safe • harbors under the Florida and Federal Statutes, that will be okay..." Deputy Mayor Resnick added, "...Which was what your intention was originally." Mr. Costar responded, "Correct." "I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM `400' WITH A MODIFICATION OF THE DRAFT"' DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO INCLUDE LANGUAGE THAT THIS IS INTENDED TO SERVE A POPULATION OF RESIDENTS OF FIFTY -FIVE (55) YEARS OR OLDER SUBJECT TO SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF LAW FOR FIFTY -FIVE (55) AND OLDER COMMUNITIES."
