The meeting was called to order by Mayor Pool at 9:10 a.m.' with the following Council Members in attendance: Council Member Huff, Council Member Dupee and Mayor Pro Tem Turville. Other City Officials and Staff present were City Manager Saunders, Public Works Director Smythe, Utility Director Davis, Planning Director Perlick, City Attorney Baird and City Engineer Springstead. Mayor Pool asked those present to introduce themselves. City Attorney Baird explained that he and Attorney Steve Richey, who represents the developers of the Minneola Harbors Project, have investigated the legal ability to annex the proposed project and have determined that the legal ability to accomplish the concept does exist. He further explained that property along Highway 561 leading to the project would have to be annexed to make the pro- posed project contiguous with the present city limits. Steve Richey then presented a history of.the proposed project. The developers have started the County PUD process, but have placed it on hold to talk to the City about annexation. Representatives from Canin and Associates presented an overview of the proposed project, which will be 775 units on a total of 540 acres, with 146 acres being wetlands. They proposed a combination of housing types including single family lots, townhouses, condominiums, and patio homes built around an eighteen hole golf course. The pro~ct will be built in five to six phases, with a projected buildout in 9 to 12 years. A portion of 56l-A will be re-aligned, and the total project will cost ten million dollars. Alex Hall of Professional Engineering Consultants then presented an overview of the water and sewer plans and requirements for the project. Mr. Richey also explained that the reason they requested the meeting was to see if the Council was interested in bringing the project into the City Limits. He proposed that an agreement that reduced to writing the responsibilities of both the developer and City would be necessary. City Manag~r Saunders stated that if there were no objections from any Council Member, the City Staff would meet with the developers to work out a proposal. Many questions must be answered before the feasibility of the annexation, on the part of the City, can be determined. No Council Member indicated an objection to the feasibility of such a project being studied by the City. There being no further diSCUSS~~~Zd Rooert A. Pool, Mayor at 10:30 a.rl'i" Attest: ~Jf .
