Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency Minutes May 11, 2022 Page 8 In response to the Commission's question, Dr. Brock said there is currently some pretreatment occurring in Queens Mirror Lake. A general discussion ensued regarding the funding of the project, the City's current maintenance of the canal, and future plans for other canal improvements, Mr. Hale asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. Mr. Kevin Kelley, 168 South Winter Park Drive, Casselberry, Florida came forward. Mr. Kelley said his home is adjacent to this lot. He expressed concerns with noise, the design of the project, and the impact to the wildlife in the area. He said the City removed several trees from the site and within 2-3 days he had a golf ball go through his daughter's window. He said he is a kayaker and is very interested in the effort but concerned about noise and the impact to property values. Mr. Hale said this is a process and tonight's meeting is to change the future land use and the zoning will be reviewed at a future meeting. He said that the Planning and Zoning Commission would also review the site plan and the end goal is to get cleaner water. Mr. Michael Townes, 552 Queens Mirror Circle, Casselberry, Florida came forward. Mr. Townes said he was generally in favor of the project but shared the same concerns as Mr. Kelley. He said that they want to be involved as the City goes through this process. Mr. Townes was concerned with the lighting, dredging, muck mitigation and removal of trees. A general discussion ensued regarding mitigation of golf balls hitting the adjacent homes and residents' input regarding the design of the project.
