Sec. 20-446
Creation.
In addition, to and supplemental to, other zoning and land development regulation requirements
heretofore and hereafter, the S.R. 434 Corridor Overlay District includes additional regulations to
promote the orderly development and redevelopment of the corridor, of which shall be applied
through imposition and mapping of an overlay district. The regulations are in addition to and not
in substitution of the underlying zoning district regulations which shall also remain applicable to
the overlay zone. The overlay district design standards will govern development within the
corridor and will control where conflicts between regulations occur.

setback requirements; (ii) the aesthetics of the proposed improvements and their visibility
from common roads and adjacent properties; (iii) the consent or objections of adjacent
property owners; and (iv) the nature and use of the proposed improvements. It is the
owner's burden and responsibility to provide such information and documentation as may be

12. The wall sign referenced is an entry wall feature and not a building; therefore, the 8' height
limit is appropriate.
13. The standards were changed to allow back lighting of signs but not awnings. No further
changes to the sign section is recommended.
14. No change is recommended to the access management section.
September 15, 1997 Letter:
1. No changes are recommended to be made to the size of parking spaces or parking areas.

Date: October 20, 1997
Re: Schrimsher Letters
Based upon the issues that developed at the last Commission meeting, I have reviewed
again the staffs review of the Schrimsher letters with the following comments:
1) All of Mr. Schrimsher's comments were reviewed prior to final
submission of the documents to you for the last Commission meeting of
October 13, 1997.
2) Staff has no recommendations for changes to the design guidelines.
3) In my opinion, Mr. Schrimsher will continue to object and debate because
he simply does not agree with staff.
However, it necessary that we move on. Adequate provisions have been
made in the ordinance to negotiate variances to design standards when
such variances are truly needed for the success of a development.
4) Again, my frustration is that staff met for months with Frank Schrimsher
to work out the design standards that are in front of you, as amended by
you own desires. It seems to me that Michael Schrimsher would accept
the compromises that were worked out during that process.
My recommendation to you is to adopt the ordinance as provided for the new
development area with the changes included in my memo of October 10, 1997.

RE: S.R. 434 Corridor Vision Plan: New Dcvclopment Arca dated May 21, 1997
Memorandwn from Margaret S. O. Casscells dated August 19, 1997
Dear Ron:
Wlule we do not agree with everything in the above memorandum, therc are some issues on which we concur as
well as other items to consider in the New Developmcnt Area Design Standards.
Section 20-340 (1) - Most commcrcial development along S.R. 434 will want at Icast some parking in front of
the building, so that the 50 foot setback \\~ll rarely bc a problem. However, it is possible that some office or retail
user will prefer to bring their building forward and put all parking in thc rear and want a smaller front sctback.
Pcrhaps provision should be made for a variance.
Section 20-342 (4) - We agree that 10' x 20' is outdated and too large for a minimwn standard parking space size.
We have suggested 9' x 18' without a provision for smaller compact spaces. The parking spaces at the new
Winter Springs Post Office are 9 feet wide. An o\\ner would be free to make his parking spaces larger if it was
desired or necded. In our experience, compact car O\\TIcrs park in full-size spaces aIid vice versa, creating
wlple.asant situations that can't be prevented. Leaving 2 feet unpaved at the end of each space is a way to avoid
paving an area beyond every parking block or curb that tires never touch. There is a cost savings and an increase
in pervious area. However, the green space that is created is oflower quality depending on the intensity of use
because cars and tmcks overhang the green space.
Section 20-343 (l0) - Land preserved in its natural state, lakes and stormwater management systems may be
included in the green space. However, 25 % still may be excessive in some situations. This deserves a little more
research.
(11) - Berms don't need to be over 3 feet high and aren't necded at all when a 3 foot hedge or wall has been
providcd.
(14)(a) - Landscapcd islands probably need to be at least 6 fcet wide to support a tree along with other plant
materials. We have suggested a 9 foot width to match parking space width. The trees in the islands should not
have to be canopy trees in all instances. Besides shade, trees provide a perch for birds to bomb vehicles and
pede~trians. Also: retail users in commercial retail developments need visibility that certain trees obstmct. There
sh9uld be flexibility in tree sclection.
(14 )(b) - We think that 15 continuous spaces is a good compromise. However, it may be desirable to let this
number vary depending on the width of landscaped islands. For example: 6 foot island with 10 spaces, 9 foot
island with 15 spaces, or 12 foot island with 20 spaces. Some variety in design is attractive.

(14)(c) - We definitely agree that 40 cars per bay is much too low. This would carve larger developments into
little quarter acre isolated pockcts and obstruct vehicular movement. Most cities and counties don't have any
limit on parking bay size. We think that a fair compromise is in the range of 300 cars per bay with the continuous
landscaped island in the 9 foot range. (The only green space that you might not get credit for is the optional 2
foot strip, which would total 800 square feet or less along 40 parking spaces.)
(15) - We think a landscaped area surrounding each building is a good requirement, but allowance must be made
for building access and signage visibility. Buildings with multiple store front entries are encouraged in Section
20-348 (l0) to incorporate overhangs in front facades to promote pedestrian activity, and it will be difficult to
have both covered walkways and extensive landscaping.
(21) - We agree that the larger caliper trees are much morc expcnsive and are unnecessary. Also, the larger trccs
are more likely to die when transplanted. The City's arbor ordinance specifies 3 inches caliper measured D.B.H.
as the minimum standard for trees although points are awarded for smallcr trces also. The City and a developer
could agrec that smaller trces be planted in less visible areas and largcr ones be planted up front.
(23) - Wc think that a connecting walkway is a good requirement, and stamped concrete is a Icss expensive
alternative to bricks or pavers. There may bc other less costly options to highlight a pedestrian crossing such as
plain concrete to contrast with asphalt drives. However, we think that 9 fcet is too wide for thc requircd
landscape buffer, especially when parking spaccs could be located on both sides of the walkway resulting in a
23 foot wide corridor through the property. Perhaps 6 feet is a better requirement since it's wide enough to
accommodate landscaping and the conidor would be eithcr 11 feet or 17 feet wide depending on whether parking
was on one side or both sides.
Section 20-344 (a)(2) - We agree that the minimum standard should be reduced perhaps to 2112" - 3" caliper and
10' - 12' height. Just as allowance is made for hedge materials to grow within the first year, so the properly
planted and watered trees will grow. The cost savings are significant. Also, the Design Standards scem to require
a total of 8 trees per 100 feet of frontage, which is excessive, when 3 or 4 is plcnty.
Section 20-345 (a) - We think a landscaped base is fine for a growld mounted identification sign. The Design
Standards allow for sign age on parcels with smaller frontagc and properly address spacing and the possibility
of additional signage for large parcels. The wall sign 8 foot height restriction is much too low and doesn't belong
in (a)(5). It should be omitted. (c)(3) says all that needs to be said.
We agree that thc maximwn copy areas in (a)(7) and (a)(8) are much too restrictive. The heights are alright. The
break point should be 150,000 square feet, not 250,000. Wc would recommcnd that you increase the maximwn
copy areas to 64, 80 and 96 square feet respectively and allow each anchor tenant 16 additional square feet.
(b)(6) We agree that the maximWJ1 height ofa ground mounted single tenant identification sign is too low and
should be 10 or 12 feet for copy areas of 32 and 48 square feet respectively. We also agree the the maximum
copy areas in (d)( 6) are extremely small, especially for retail and should be greatlv increased. Maximum letter
height should be 30 inches or 25% of building height.
(f) Although new billboards are prohibited, exisiting billboards should be dealt ,,~th on an individual basis.
(h) Backlighting of signs should be permitted.
..

(m)(2) You may want to allow for the possibility of a sign painted directly on an extcrior wall in some instances.
(m)(l2) Prohibiting pole signs makes sense because the goal is to utilize moument style ground signs.
Section 20-347 (a)(1) - Cross access is desirable bctween adjoining propertics with compatible land uses and
good vehicular cOlU1ections should be required, but a "corridor extending the entire length of each block scrved"
should not be required. It sounds like a parallel road system being built by private property 0\\'11ers for public
benefit. Sen'ice and loading vehicles do need to be able to use the cross access cOlmections. Certain property
o\\ners may need their 0\\11 attorney to review how item (c) affects their particular site. The meaning of itcm (f)
is unclear to us and may need some work.
Section 20-348 (1) - We agree that it is more appropriate for government to encourage rather than require certain
building mnterials, with a few exccptions, because it's difficult to nnticipnte evcry possible application. (4)
Screening of dWllpsters seems ncceptnble to us. (7) Outparcels should be able to conforn1 to and integratc with
the overall project, within rcason. (11) We think that backf10w preventers and other valves could be screened
by landscaping toward the back of the buffer area to avoid being placed in a parking space or driveway.
A lot of time and energy has gone into developing these Design Standards and with a little more effort I think we
can arrive at a plan that is acceptable to all concerned.

RE: TO\m Center (TC) and Ncw Development Area (NDA) Design Standards
Dear Ron:
My previous letter dated September 5th, focused on the NDA Design Standards and Missy Casscells comments
about them, but virtually all of my comments could also apply to the TC Design Standards.
The new option of creating a six foot continuous landscaped island between rows of parking, which was
substituted for dle option of2 foot wlpaved strips along parking spaces, is a good idea when it is combined with
other adjustments. Increasing the maximum number of continuous spaces [rom 10 to 20 and shortening the
minimum length of spaces from 20 feet to 18 feet is a good start. The minimwn width of spaces should also be
reduced from 10 feet to 9 fect and the access drive minimum width should be reduced from 24 feet to 22 feet.
The islands at each end of a row of parking spaces should be reduced from 9 or 10 feet to 6 feet with this option.
This will still result in additional greenspace and creates thc only 40 car parking bay that would be acceptable
to a developer. A developer who instead of the above option, chooses to use 9 foot wide islands for every tcn
spaces should be allowcd 320 spaces per parking bay, but should use a 9 foot ,,~de continuous island around it
to increase greenspace instead of the current 5 feet. Regardless of the choice, parking spaces should be a
minimwn 9' x 18' and driveways should be a minimum 22 feet wide.
Canopy trees should not be required at 30 foot intervals in the continuous 6 foot landscaped islands. The City's
o\m arbor ordinance states that small trees must be thirty feet apart, mediwn trees forty feet apart, and large trees
at least fifty feet apart. This is a good rule and agrees with tree spacing required along right-or-ways and gives
the developer some choices in the design of landscaping. The isolated 9 foot islands could each have one large
tree or two small trees planted in them.
Irrigation with reclaimed water should only be required when available, and that's not specified on page 10
(NDA). Also, trees must be selected from the reconmlended tree palIet according to page 11, but my copies of
both TC and NDA do not include any pallet. Both docwnents require walk:ways to "create visual interest", on
page 12, and the NDA states that wall.ways must "meander" to do so. But, that must be reconciled with the
straight sidewalks already built along S.R. 434 and Tuska\\illa Road. Also, these wall.ways are required to be
"adjacent to the right-of-way", which is generally straight, and "adjacent" could mean on or off the right-of-way.
Sidewalks along roads are usually in the right-of-way, however, and that should be stated here to avoid interfering
with the planting of trees.
On page 13 (TC), item (15) needs to allow for access to entrances through the landscaped area and signage
visibility along tlle front facade of continuous store front buildings. Also, item (16) should not require a ten foot
sidewalk within a plaza/hardscape that may be replacing a 10 or 13 foot wide landscaped area. There won't be
any room for trees, furniture or lighting that are also required. On page 13 (NDA) and page 14 (Ie), damaged

trees are required to be rcplaced with 4 inch caliper trees measured 3 feet above grade. To be consistent, these
should be 3 inch caliper trees measured D.B.H. The oak trees to be planted in the landscape buffer should be a
minimum of 3" caliper and 12 feet high. The holly trees planted at 35 foot intervals will not crcate a formal
appearance because the 35 foot and 50 foot intervals ,...ill conflict with each other and trees planted at different
times will vmy greatly in size. The city could undertake a tree-planting program in a limited area to achieve the
desired result on a smaller scale. At the top of page 15 (TC), storm water retention areas should be allowed to
be wet if designed as part of a water feature.
References to pylon signs on page 16 and in the definition of Ground Sign on page 26 (NDA), should be
eliminated but certain types of temporary signs will function as pole/pylon signs. For example, construction and
marketing signs and some political signs will be made of 4" x 4" posts and 4' x 8' shects of plywood or similar
materials. The prohibition against pole signs on page 21 should list those types of signs as exceptions.
On page 16, item (8) and page 17, item (6), thc wording is awh."ward in the last line: "100' front foot" should be
changed to "100 feet offrontagc". On page 18, item (d)(4), should omit the 14 foot height limit and instead
merely prohibit the sign projecting abovc any roof or parapet elevation. Likewise, on page 17, item (c)(3). On
pages 19-20, marketing signs should havc a minimum setback of 15 feet and a minimum height of 14 feet to
make them consistent with all oUler signage. Also, on page 20, item (m)(1), should not completely prohibit neon
although its use could be limited. On page 21, item (m)(1l)(c), could be abused if additional signage were
attached to a trailer rather than merely identifying a compml)' name or its product. Some limits would be helpful.
On page 25 (TC), itcm (10) nceds to be c1arificd. These overhangs could rcally clash with thc
landscape/plazalhardscapc area rcquired to surround each building. 1l1crc are various typos, crrors and omissions
in the S.R. 434 Corridor Vision Plan that should be corrected with a careful rcading onee all the changes have
been agreed upon.
