A. Presentations. The Open Air Artist presented by Sy Rosefelt.
Sv Rosefelt, Visual Artist and Historian for the Central Florida Water
Color Society, said he manages the clubs Plan Air program. He said a Plan
Air artist was one who paints on site. He stated in September 2005, the +
President of the organization and him met~with the Mayor and Mrs. Bundy
in regards to having a showing of the paintings done in downtown
Longwood to present an artistic image of the area. He said it was met with
enthusiasm and the Woman's Club was decided to be a good place for the
show. He declared this was a step in the right direction for a Longwood
arts program. The idea seemed to unravel after Thanksgiving and he was
informed the Mayor and Mrs. Bundy were no longer involved. He said it
seemed very few others were not too enthused. His planner people did
more pictures and had them framed and he said he felt responsible for
their efforts. He said art programs were enjoyed in communities like
Sanford and Casselberry. They have an art house, and an office building
where they hold classes for children and adults that are taught by qualified
people. He.now understands some interest has been renewed, but seems to
lack direction and unity. He said they would be interested in meeting with
people in regards to developing an arts program.. He had some paintings
with him to depict how Longwood looks through a different window.
Commissioner Maingot inquired what they were specifically looking for.
Mr. Rosefelt said at first they wanted just a show. He also saw an
opportunity to develop some kind of art image in Longwood.
Commissioner Maingot inquired if the paintings were for sale. ~~
Mr. Rosefelt responded in the affirmative.
CC 04-17-6/88
[~
Commissioner Maingot said this would be a commercial venture.
Mr. Rosefelt agreed this would be a convnercial venture, but he seas trying
to create an artistic interest in this area that. would benefit themselves and
the City.
Commissioner Maingot suggested he meet with city staff to determine
how best his product could be accommodated. He also advised of the tall
Festival.
Mr. Rosefelt said the Arts and Craft Fair was entirely different. He stated
he was talking about a Fine Arl: Fair. He said the.main idea was providing
an art education.
Deputy Mayor Anderson said t:he concept of art lessons would be .similar
to tennis lessons or swim lessons. He said there would be some value in
pursuing this and perhaps it could be worked into. the recreation programs.
He stated there was an opportu:ruty to invite people in on one of the days
the City reserves the Community Building for a City of Longwood art
showing.
Commissioner Sackett encouraged pursuing this through city staff.
t
Mayor Bundy said exposure to good quality .art would be good. He agreed
a showing on one of the weekends the City has the building reserved for a
showing with the artist name acid phone number displayed would be a
passive type of display. He stated they looked forward to seeing what
could be worked out with city staff.
B ! Public Participation. None.

due to it being the same night Lake Merry recognized their honor graduates. He
congratulated staff on the Egg Hunt this past weekend. He reported he attended
the Election meeting. He also visited the car show. He inquired about a
motorcycle event for abused children at Reiter Park on April 22"d
Commissioner Sackett said he was appointed last November as the liaison to the
Pool Committee and to his knowledge they have not met. He stated he can only
assume the Pool Committee is not interested in what the City of Longwood's
input is on this Committee. He suggesi:ed the City pursue a pool and look at how
they can get involved with the Lyman High School pool to update it as a.
cdmmunity use facility.
~~ CC 04-17-6/89
-~ I
Mayor Bundy said there had previously been discussions on joint venturing on the ~
Lyman pool. He suggested Commissioner Sackett look into this matter.
Commissioner Sackett said he was approached by a lady who said to remember
those people who are 60 - 70 years old that live in larger homes and would Like, to
downsize to something nice within the City. He, said he met with the City
Administrator earlier in the week and he talked about a plan to refurbish the Fire
Station. He said this was a good idea, but in hearing about all.the fires due to how
dry it is, perhaps this was not a good time to temporarily close a station.
Mr. Drago. said he understood the concerns, but he felt confident that whatever
would occur in the area could be handled. He advised the City was under first
responders and may be out, so Casselberry, Winter Springs,, or the County may be
responding.
District #1. Commissioner Maingot congratulated Ms. IVlirus on receiving her
Certified Municipal Clerk (CMC) certification. He thanked Mr. Drago for follow-
up in regards to Soldier's Creek Park-with the County.
Discussion ensued regarding Solder's Creek Park.
Commissioner Maingot asked the City Administrator if a resolution had been ~
obtained with regards to the Longwood Medical Office. ~~
Mr. Drago stated they were going to stud as if~it were seven separate units and can
use anywhere from one to seven. He said the Code was specific to multi-facilities,
such as a strip shopping center,. each store front has its own water meter.
Commissioner Maingot said lie very often hears from businessmen who complain
about the differential of level of service they experience at the Post Office in
Longwood as compared to the one in Lake Mary: He discussed his own
experience while standing in line at the Post Office today. He requested a
questionnaire be developed and ,sent out to the business community and residents
to ask them about the level of service they have experienced at the Longwood
Post Office. He said once this information is obtained it could be taken to the next
step.
District #2. Deputy Mayor Anderson said, in regards to the ball fields,. if the City
had chosen to participate, the time allotted was rather short to submit an RFP. He
said he was caught offbalance with regards to the Fire Station, but said it was the
appropriate thing to do in the absence of any other plan.
Deputy Mayor Anderson reported he was .made aware of an event at CALNO
called i-Safe Oviedo. He said this was not just Oviedo specific, but was an online
presentation to teach parents and children how to use the Internet safely. He
reported the existence of CALNO was questioned by the County at the last
CALNO meeting. He said it was reported the County was looking over their
CC 04-17-6/90
~ participation and whether they wanted. to continue. He said the other members
concurred there was great value in keeping all the parties in the County
communicating.
I
Mayor Bundy stated one of the items brought up iin the e-mail from
Commissioner Carey was that CALNO had no authority. The Mayors and
Managers nor the Joint City/County Committees have any authority. He said ally
opportunity to get the different municipalities together for discussions could not
be a bad thing..
Deputy Mayor Anderson declared it v~~as mistaken to state there was no authority.
He said the City Commission just app:roved an appointment to the Expressway
Authority for a seat specifically granted to the CALNO representative. He stated
th'e gas tax money does not get distributed until CALNO approves this year's
formula.
District #3. Comnissioner Holt stated the car show this past weekend was a big
success. He said the Fire Station. renovations needed to be done prior to hurricane
season.

County Engineer regarding Mud Lake. He said they have awarded a contract for
` the consultant and engineering firm to start the initial design phase. The County

Lake. He said the County will be holding the initial. meeting with the engineers in
two to three weeks and will notify him and the City Administrator of the meeting.
i
Mayor Bundy reported Lyman High School was holding a carnival this weekend.
~He said the Athletic Boosters were the: sponsors and responsible for the set up. He
stated there was a $25'0 permit fee to set up a carnival and they were asking if this
fee could be waived.
Mr. Taylor advised there was a temporary use permit.. He stated he had planned to
discuss this area of the Code this evening because of some concerns on how it
could potentially be changed to limit such events such as car sales. He said
Commissioner Sackett had brought up concerns in the past about. the Pic-n-Save
property. He stated the permit neededto be applied for 15 days in.advance. He
advised there was a provision that was ambiguous in.that section that states if
there was a tent going up for three days then a permit was not required.:He
declared there were parts of this section that sent conflicting messages and he
planned to discuss tlnis under his report.
Mayor Bundy said the event was all on private property and they have already
contracted with the Police Department.

~ Mr. Drago stated the purpose ofthe special event permit was for events held on
public property.

_ , .method of documenting the Di~~tricts history. Study of the minutes of the

Districts acts ofpreservation. She stated once the Board was gone that
individual acts of change within the District would be lost within the
i ongoing day to day business of the City with no continuous threat of
~ CC 04-17.6/93
i
documented history. She said it was important that the story, of how ~
historic buildings were saved, be told. She questioned if requests to
change the color or facade detail would be taken to City staff who would
be interpreting the Code: If finding the request meets the code would it be
automatically authorized by the staff or will there continue to be public
notice of changes. She declared without the ..Preservation Board, the nearly
100 year old Largent house would have been demolished. She said the
Board provides continuity. She stated that she and others feel that
abolishing the Board would be a great error. She stated the Board was
dedicated to preservation... She requested the Commission vote against

Procedure, reads "The demolition of any contributing structure in the
Historic District shall appear before the City Commission and comply

in the Historic District Code Book. " He made the recommendation that
this would read better if it stated "The application, for demolition of any
contributing structure in the Historic District shall be considered by the
City Commission... "
Deputy Mayor Anderson moved to accept the City Attorney's
changes to subparagraph 4 under Procedure. Seconded by
Commissioner Sackett and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

either as a new item or under subparagraph 1 that the applications for new

other permits throughout the City.

stated most members of the Historic Preservation Board did not want to_
i ---- -----_..._------ -- ~ - --
serve on a Board that had no authority. He affirmed he was concerned
~, about situations such as the medical office building on Bay Avenue
requesting to do a two-story addition to a one-story cottage. The Historic
Preservation Board recommended this structure be connected with a
~ breezeway to give the se~lse of openness. He said city staff changes and
' there was no continuity. He gave examples of permits being issued that
were in violation of the Codes or were not in keeping with the flavor of
the Historic District. He said if it were kept where the Historic
Preservation Board did have some authority, anybody who does not agree
with their findings can appeal i:o the City Commission. He declared if they
. i were going to take the authority away from the Historic Preservation
i Board, then go ahead and eliminate the Board.
I
~~ Commissioner Holt said he would be voting against this Ordinance and
encouraged the other Commissioners to do the same. He said other boards
' served as advisory boards and the members had the opporhznity to think
outside the box.
The main motion carried by a three/two roll call vote with Mayor
Bundy and Commissioner Holt voting nay.

Mr. Drago advised the prior agreement was a thirty (30) year agreement
and they were requesting another. He said they were very cooperative in
completing the agreement.
Discussion ensued regarding this being anon-exclusive agreement.
Motion carried by a unanimous roll call vote...
B. ~~, The Community Development Division of the Community Services
i Department recommends the City Commission review and discuss
proposed changes to the Longwood Development Code (LDCA 03-06).
Mr. Drago said the Commission had been presented previously with a
_ I matrix on issues in the Longwood Development Code with suggested
~ i solutions. He emphasized the language under the solution area of the
~i matrix is not the language that would occur in the Code changes, but was a
paraphrase. He advised there were a couple of other changes that needed
~ to be addressed at the end that were crucial to linking some items together
I
CC 04-17-6/97
Mr. Sizemore said most of the proposed amendments had been discussed `~
_- by the_Conunisson_previously.._He_said_there were. two (2) items that do
not appear on the list that they would like to have included when it is put
into ordinance form.
Section 3.2.1
Deputy-Mayor Anderson said this section made perfect sense.
Section 3.2.2
Deputy Mayor Anderson said he was not in favor of how the proposed
solution was worded.. He stated that surrounding neighbor-hood needed to
specified by the streets that bound it in order to capture it in precise
language. He said when talking about average dimensions, it was their
intention the sizes were different than those already there and perhaps they
should choose different multipliers. He said he still believed in the concept
of looking at what was near by and base the lot sizes from that.
Commissioner Saekett.agreed the "quarter mile" bothered him and
perhaps they should say "existing subdivision" or "neighborhood defined
as."
Deputy Mayor Anderson said .you were trying to have harmony on that ~~
street with some consideration for the development pattern around it. ~-~'~
Mr. Taylor said there was a lot of controversy at Wildmere and a lot of
people came out not wanting to see smaller lots. He said the Code worked
.fairly well and the City Commission did a great job of going through
making a difficult decision. He suggested looking at the immediate
neighborhood and not limiting it to a certain number of lots.. He said some
flexibility fitting the situation would be good.
Commissioner Maingot asked what multiplier worked to resolve the
situation in Wildmere.
Mr. Drago advised the multiplier was .7.
Commissioner Sackett. suggested keeping the surrounding neighborhood
and increasing the multiplier to .85.
Discussion ensued regarding using a multiplier versus defining the
surrounding neighborhood.
Commissioner 1bIaingot suggested the matter be turned back to staff to
work on the language.
CC 04-T7-6/98
~ ~ Section 3.2.3
Mr. Drago aid this issue came up previously due to fences. He said. they
would clarify the applicability versus the land uses in the corridors.
~ Section 3.2.3 D 2
Deputy Mayor Anderson said this section was straight forward.
f . Mr. Miller advised they would be asking for a rendering. to be submitted to
show the body, trim, and accent colors.
i Mayor Bundy said he thought 1:he color palette only applied to corridor
properties.
Mr. Drago .said it applied to any commercial/industrial building in the City
~ whether it was new or a repaint.
I
~ Mayor Bundy said he would not be willing to apply the color palette to
properties in the industrial area. or those not in the. corridor.
I
Deputy Mayor Anderson said this needed to be brought forward for
discussion.
Section 3.2.3 D 9
~ i Mr. Miller said this was from the discussions at the last Conunission
meeting. He said it was the rear of the building.
Deputy Mayor Anderson said there also needed to be provisions for
' maintenance.
I
Section 3..2.3 D
I
i No discussion.
Section 3.3.1 B
Mr. Sizemore said this section was in keeping with the driveway access
policy.
Mr. Drago said on subdivision: it would probably be more unlikely than
on the east side. He said this provision was for new construction.
~ Section 3..6.0 C 10
Deputy Mayor Anderson. said with night-time lighting, less was more. He
said he appreciated this towards the light solution.
Section 3.6.1 A
' Mayor Bundy questioned why there would be a requirement for four (4)
_~' parking spaces on the driveway for a townhome.
CC 04-17~~6/99
Mr. Taylor pointed out there was no on street parking with townhomes,
butwith some of the smaller lots with the multiplier he questioned how
one would get four (4) parking., spaces on a driveway, of a residential home.
Deputy Mayor Anderson said requiring this when the lot size gets to a
certain size; it was hard to disguise a large garage..
Mr. Sizemore said Acorn. Terrace was used as' the example. He said in the
infill standards the City Administrator has the ability to reduce the parking
requirements by up to 25%.
Deputy Mayor Anderson suggested shared paxking~be considered.
Section 5.3.3
Mayor Bundy said this was follow-up from a precious Commission
meeting.
Section 5.3.5
Mr. Miller .said this was a minor grammar correction.
Section 5.6..4 A
Deputy Mayor Anderson said there was legislation to remove the ability to
regulate this. ` '
Section 6.4.4 F` `
Mayor Bundy said this was self explanatory.
Section 6.4.4 H
Deputy Mayor Anderson inquired if we have required monument signs.
Mayor Bundy said this would be brought up at•the end of this review.
Section 6.7.5
Mr. Miller said this was becoming more of a standard.
Section. 6.7.6
No discussion.
Section 10.2.1 C.
No discussion.
Section .10.10.0
No discussion.
Section 10.11..3 ~
Discussion was held regarding lot splits.
Mr. Miller stated they follow the state law.
CC 04-17-61100
~ i
Mr. Taylor advised, from a legal standpoint, it was up to the tenant's to
negotiate with the landlord's on the size of signs.
Discussion ensued.
Mr. Miller said the Commission recently approved an infll status and. now
the gentleman was coming bank wanting to do duplexes.. He said. they had
no standards that apply to duplexes ul the architectural versions. He said
they have. talked about towl~houses and single family homes as well as
infill structures, but they have not discussed duplexes. He said they would
like to come back with nforn7ation on duplexes.
Mayor Bundy said there were exan7ples at Danbury 1VIi11 and Coventry of
~, attached units. He said rather than a mirror image, he suggested different
articulation for character.
! Mr. Miller said the other item regarded temporary signs. He said one
suggestion discussed this evening was making them all thirty (30) days.
He advised there were other si€;n standards in the regular Code that applies
to temporary signs. He stated they would like to redesign the temporary
sign code that would be better for the Cify and have more struigent
~ standards and applicability in t:he Code.
Mayor Bundy suggested staff look at the entire sign portion of the Code
and bring back language to review.
Deputy Mayor Anderson suggested the look at Lake Mary's Code on
r signage and several other places where signage is .working. He advised
Lake Mary gave a date certain from the adoption of their Code for all
' signage to be brought into compliance rather than everything being
grandfathered.
! Mayor Bundy said he had a concern regarding impervious surface ratios.
He suggested. this needed to be removed from oversight by the Board of
Adjustment. He stated if staff was comfortable with the ratios, there
~ should not be variances.:~Ie said any appeals should be before the City
Commission.

12. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT. Mr. Taylor said Commissioner Sackett had
previously expressed concern regarding some of the temporary uses at the Pie n'
Save. He reported when he checked into what they were doing it fell within the
perimeters of the temporary use permit. He met with 1VIr. Miller and reviewed the
temporary use permit Code. He stated that the Pic n' Save property had no current
us'e. He suggested amending this section of the Code to state it had to be in
conjunction with the business. Pl:e said. it did not need to be the same type of
business; there could be selling of fireworks or cars.
Deputy Mayor Anderson said this was on the right path, but he viewed this
differently. He said the issue with Pic :n' Save was that it was a property owner
' that doesn't care and causing issues for the City. He stated when the section was
. ~ dome that states all properties are to be maintained according to the site plan, he
would not Have a problem with a temporary use. He said if the property was not in
compliance, they should not be asking for temporary uses.
