Seminole Towne Center Mall.
A. Billboards:
Jim Willard, Attorney, Shutts and Bowen, proposed the elimination of seven (7)
billboard structures, with the replacement of two (2) monopole structures, and reviewed the
site location map for said proposed billboards, as contained in Exhibit I "Discussion of
Developer's Agreement Relocation and Reduction of Existing Billboards", a copy of which was
distributed. Further, pursuant to the Florida Department of Transportation's ("FDOT") letter
dated November 3, 1993, FDOT is supportive of the proposed Developer's Agreement, which would
eliminate FDOT's obligation to pay the billboard companies and/or land owner[S), for the
relocation of the condemned billboards; resulting in an estimated savings of approximately
$600,000.00. Further, approval of the requested waiver would not be precedent setting
because the billboards were already in existence when the property was annexed into the City.

face on I-4 will be provided for City use for a period of three (3) years, and then as space

locations. Mr. Schneider agreed to check into the possibility of having the display copy
changed every so often.
