Seminole County acquisition of City parking lot east of Hood Avenue, for courthouse
expansion.
Director of Planning and Development Jay Marder reported that Seminole County
conducted an extensive space study, and provided the City with the results of same, which was
helpful in determining how much parking will be required for the courthouse concept area as
outlined in the consensus Waterfront Plan, Scheme D, which includes private/commercial
development including a hotel and civic center, and links the waterfront to the downtown area
creating a flow.
Sharon Laisure, Seminole County Deputy Manager, reported that the County wants to
facilitate the City's efforts to revitalize downtown, not create a hardship, and views said
revitalization as a win-win situation for both entities.
After discussion, the Commission concurred with Director of Planning and
Development's proposed letter of response, as described in memorandum dated August 3, 1994,
from City Manager, to Seminole County Manager Ron Rabun's letter of July 10, 1994.

Designation of 15th Street between Oak Avenue and Park Avenue as a "one-way" street east
bound.
City Manager reported that 15th Street between Park Avenue and Oak Avenue is not
a standard width road; is not wide enough for two vehicles, and cannot be widened to a
standard width road because the right-of-way does not allow for same.
The consensus of the Commission was to designate 15th Street as a one-way street
as recommended.
Request from Phillip C. Hollis, Hollis Engineering, Inc., for City water and sewer service
.for Palm Point, an Affordable Housing Pro~ect.
City Manager reported that the developer will be required to make the necessary
utility service line extensions. Also, it would be appropriate for the City to require the
lines to be upsized to facilitate utility service for the Oasis Project, as previously agreed
upon. Further, the Palm Point Developer could be reimbursed later for the upsizing, perhaps
through a Developer's Agreement, with other de~elopers paying a share as they tie their
developments into the lines.
