Request from Tony Black, Minister, Sanford Church of Christ, for reconsideration of 15th
Street as a one-way street in its present direction.
Police Lieutenant Doug Bishop reported that after receiving complaints from
residents in the neighborhood about the traffic flow and signage on 15th Street, Staff
conducted a traffic study and recommended that 15th Street between Oak Avenue and Park Avenue
be designated as a one-way street east bound. Further, since designating 15th Street as a
one-way street, and posting of "hidden entrance" and 25 miles per hour speed limit signs,
there have been no problems and/or complaints.
Tony Black reported that the church was not notified when this issue was discussed,
and that he would 'liked to have had some input. Further, with 15th Street as a one-way
street east bound, a hard turn is required when exiting the church parking lot, but the
church's traffic flow is restricted whether said traffic flow is east bound or west bound.
After discussion, the consensus of the Commission was to install a curb cut and
driveway apron from the Church's parking lot onto 16th Street, with Staff to monitor the
situation and report back to the Commission. This item was referred to tonight's Regular
Meeting for City Commission action.

for irriqation of approximately3,300 feet of the northern side of Lake Mary Boulevard within

Mary Parks and Recreation Director, were present.
After discussion, the consensus of the Commission was to provide reclaimed water,
at no charge, if the City of Lake Mary guarantees utilization of a specified amount/gallons
of reclaimed water daily/weekly, and to charge a fee if usage falls below the agreed-upon
amount/gallons. The Commission authorized the City Manager to work with Mr. Litton to work
out an agreement as discussed.
