Community Redevelopment Agency December 12, 2013 Page 5 of 8 Mr. Larry Adams, ACi, 955 North Pennsylvania Avenue, Winter Park, Florida came forward. Mr. Adams summarized the investment. He said the study will take approximately 4 — 6 weeks to complete. He said the purpose for the request is to create a more developable project and a better investment opportunity. He said there is a potential for consolidation of the Fire Administration that will change the use of the building. He said that the details will look at the following items: engineering, geometry, elevation, traffic circulation, pedestrian safety and to ensure curb cuts interface with FDOT. He said the structure is not to go all the way but far enough to be validated and ready with the drawings to go ahead with implementation. He said it is a real estate concept for the south village that creates more developable area. He said the money is being reinvested in public space and not in the buildings. He said the study will include cost take offs on the landscaping material. Mr. Adams said the developer has agreed to share in the cost of the demolition of a portion of the Public Works Building and a portion of the landscaping. A brief discussion ensued regarding the CRA's purpose and the development of this land will increase the City's TIF. Mr. Moore made a motion to approve the $30,000 investment in the study. Mr. Alfred seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. Fourth Item of Business: CRA Extension — PMG Associates, Inc.

Mr. Gonot presented a PowerPoint Presentation to the Board regarding the Casselberry CRA Plan Update (a copy is attached and made a part of the minutes). Mr. Gonot requested direction from the Board to move ahead with the update. He said the Redevelopment Plan Update will be reviewed at the January 8, 2014 Planning and Zoning Commission to ensure the Plan conforms to the Comprehensive Plan. He said staff will bring back the information provided from the Planning and Zoning Commission to the CRA at their January 9, 2014 meeting to hopefully make the final adoption of the Plan. Mr. Gonot said that the City Commission has tentatively scheduled a workshop on January 13, 2014 to review the Plan.
