CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of June 27, 2016 — Regular Meeting Page 7 of 16 8. DISCUSSION ITEMS EMS A. Future Agenda Items Vice Mayor Hufford advised she, Commissioner Aramendia and Commissioner -Elect Bill Hufford had recently attended a meeting of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) project visioning team regarding pians for the area on State Road 436 between Wilshire Boulevard and U.S. Highway 17-92. After some discussion amongst the Commissioners and City Manager Randy Newlon, it was agreed that Mr. Newlon would provide all the Commissioners with the information Vice Mayor Hufford had received at the meeting, and he would review the information with staff and schedule a workshop possibly in July for additional discussion and Commission input about what improvements they would like see included in this FDOT-funded project. Mr. Newlon suggested that perhaps then a letter could be drafted to FDOT expressing the Commission's concerns about the area and what they would like to see happen along this major corridor in the Casselberry community. Vice Mayor Hufford also expressed some concerns about the City's sign regulations regarding campaign signs in residential areas which were larger than those normally allowed. She noted that she had observed one which was particularly concerning at the corner of Winter Park Drive and Marigold Road. Mr. Newlon and Community Development Director Sandra Smith advised that they would have staff go out to the site and determine if the sign constituted a violation of existing sign regulations.
