Authorization
City Manager requesting authority to provide the Schrimsher
Realty Company with a non-binding letter of intent relative to
Schrimsher's participation in the realignment of the Cross County
Trail.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
The purpose of this agenda item is for the Commission to adopt a
tentative policy relative to Schrimsher Realty Company's participation in
the reali~lnment of the trail.
CONSIDERATION:
Staff and the developer have determined that the Schrimsher property
involved in the Town Center Plan would be more effectively developed if
the current trail alignment crossing the Schrimsher property is realigned
as recommended in the Town Center Plan.
The Florida Department of Greenways and Trails has certain rules
requiring a two for one land swap in acreage that must be at least as
valuable as the initial alignment.
The proposed realignment plan proposed by the City will accomplish this
objective.
SeminolE~ County is requiring that an agreement be entered into
between Schrimsher, the City and the County relative to what roles tl1e
various l~ntities will play in the development and maintenance of the
realigned trail.
The City staff believes that Schrimsher Realty's role should be limited to
the donation of the right of way, while the construction and maintenance
cost should be the burden of the City and the County.
A non-binding letter of intent is needed immediately from Schrimsher
relative to Schrimsher's willingness to donate the land as required by the
State.
Schrimsher desires a non-binding letter of intent from the City relative to
the deml:mds the City and County will be placing upon Schrimsher for
development and maintenance of the trail as realigned.
RECOMMENDATION::
City Manager is recommending the Commission authorize him to
provide Schrimsher with a non-binding letter of intent limiting
Scrhimsher's participation in the trail development to the donation of
land consistent with Florida Department of Greenways and Trails Rules
and Regulations.
