On Monday, August 14, 2000, at 10:11 a.m., the Orlando City Council met in the City Council Chambers, City Hall, 400 South Orange Avenue, Orlando, Florida, for a Workshop Session.

 Present: 

• Mayor-Commissioner Glenda E. Hood
• Commissioner Don Ammerman, District 1
• Commissioner Betty T. Wyman, District 2
• Commissioner Patty Sheehan, District 4
• Commissioner Daisy W. Lynum, District 5
• Commissioner Ernest Page, District 6
• Grace A. Chewning, City Clerk
• Fay W. Craig, Deputy City Clerk
• City Attorney W. Scott Gabrielson
• Police Officer David McKinnon, Sergeant-at-Arms

 Chief Administrative Officer Richard L. Levey provided the preface to today’s Workshop on the Orlando Naval Training Center Reuse Project [“A New Life – A New Beginning”]. Dan Gallagher, Chief Planner/Transportation Planning Bureau, utilized a power point presentation to detail an historical timetable for the NTC reuse, and covered such topics as the Project’s history from 1993 when Mayor Hood formed the Base Reuse Commission, the Commission’s Goals, 165 public meetings from August 1993-December 1994, various Milestones, themes developed from the public workshops for The Vision Plan, the Orlando NTC Partners Plan, Street Standards, GMP Changes, Planned Access Points, Mixed Land Uses, Dense Connected Street Network, Traffic Dispersal, Traffic Impact Comparison of 1986 NTC Gate Counts (external trips only) versus the Orlando Partners Plan average daily trips (internal & external), NTC Partners Plan v. 2010 Baseline traffic impact comparison, and detailed the October 1999 conveyance of the property from the U.S. Navy to the City and then from the City to Orlando Partners.

 Stanley Price, Esq., outside legal counsel for the City, conveyed his analysis of the project based on detailed public hearings and Development Orders is that Orlando Partners has vested rights to develop the property and that Florida Statute 164 is not applicable for any appeal, that associated times of other possible appeal routes have expired and that appeals cannot be made retroactively, which makes the Project fully approved. He noted that special counsel for Winter Park had submitted a letter dated July 27^th requesting a meeting at the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council next Tuesday, which is not appropriate in his opinion for reasons cited above. He suggested that an exploratory first meeting be initiated with a limited number of professional staff from the City, Winter Park and Orlando Partners to determine what the issues are and to demonstrate that 4-laning an east-west road through the development would result in degradation of several roadways within Winter Park.

Workshop concluded at 10:59 a.m.

Grace A. Chewning, City Clerk
