Jordan Smith, who stated he was very unhappy with the name of the apartment complex, Vintage
of Lake Mary. He said the complex is not in Lake Mary and the Lake Mary Commissioners are
receiving calls from residents that are upset with their Commissioners for approving more
apartments. Commissioner Smith is requesting the name be changed. Ms. Hinson said that is the
name of their company that they have chosen to go with. The City is working with the company
on their sign package and as of right now the sign will only say 'The Vintage.
