RE: Springs Land/JessupShores 1. V
Dear Charles:
The undersigned Euro American Investors Group represent Springs Land Investments Ltd. and
Jessup Shores, Ltd. as the general partner of these two partnerships. Both partnerships are the
legal owners of two tracts ofland along 434, directly across the public park. For your
information we have included a plan representing the subject land marked as parcels A, Band C.
A couple of days ago we took notice of a revision of the Town Center District. It appears that
parcel C, which is currently owned by both partnerships, is now included within the Town Center
District. Although there were conversations a couple of weeks ago pertaining to whether this
parcel should be included or not, we never have given permission for this parcel to be included
within the Town Center district. We would consider parceI.C to be included however, in order to
do this the following needs to happen.
The general partner needs to advise the limited partners on any decision relative to parcel C.
After this has been established the general partners is authorized to represent the limited
partnerships on this issue. Unfortunately the timeframe between publication, Sunday October
25th and the City Comission hearings on November 9 and November 23, does not leave sufficient
time for the general partner to go through the procedures as described in the foregoing.
Therefore we respectfully request parcel C to be withdrawn as part of the Town Center District.
Nevertheless we would be interested to explore the possibilities of a later "annexation" of parcel
C within the Town Center District.
European Office Located In The Netherlands
-2-
We hope that you are able to accommodate our request since a misunderstanding about parcel C
has put the general partner in a precarious position relative to the limited partners of both
partnerships. At the next public hearing on November 4, Mr. Alan M. Whitney, who is the Vice
President of Sunbelt Investors Group, Inc. which is the general partner ofEuro American
Investors Group, will be available to answer any questions relative to parcel C.
We apologize for this inconvenience but as of this time we do not see any other alternative.
A. . Leerdam
as President of Sunbelt Investors Group
as general partner ofEuro American Investors Group.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Ronald W. McLemore. City Manager
DATE: October 29, 1998
FROM: Robert D. Guthrie, City Attorn
RE: A. C. Leerdam
Summary Memorandum
This is intended to summarize the attached memo regarding the Leerdam property.
The proposed Town Center Development Regulations would apply to the property, when
adopted. However, application of these regulations could not serve to alter vested land uses or
density/intensity of development conferred by the Vested Rights Special Use Permit No. 93-02.
On the other hand, certain criteria in the proposed Town Center regulations might well, when
applied to specific development such as multi-family dwelling uses, actually increase allowable
densities on the property.

Robert D. Guthrie, City AttomW
October 29, 1998
FROM:
DATE:
RE:
A-C. Leerdam Propeqy
You requested that I review the issue of the effect of the adoption of the Town Center
Development Center Regulations on the referenced property (depicted generally on the map
attached) in light oftbe following:
1. Vested Rights Special Use Pennit No. 93-02;
2. Second (2nd) Amended Agreement
The Vested Rights Special Use Permit No. 93-02 (Vested Rights Permit) established and
recognized certain things regarding the property described in the Vested Rights Pennit. These
items are listed below. This memorandum is a summary of the Vested Rights Pennit. This
summary does not expand or diminish rights conferred in the Vested Rights Permit. The Vested
Rights Permit and supporting materials called "City Approvals" in the Vested Rights Permit
define the actual rights conferred by the Vested Rights Pannit.
DO remember that this Vested R.it~hls Permit is presently 9Qhodulcd to expire July 21,
1999.
These are established and recognizable rights. Development of'the property shall remain
subject to the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan and implementing land development
regulations e~cept to the extent that the application of such regulations would result in a denial
of:
A.
B.
C.
The vested land uses~
The vested density or intensity of development;
Other specifically vested development entitlements approved in the City
Approvals on which the Vested Rights Special Use Permits is based.
S/E"d
JSS~ ~ ~3HJ~aN3ddn~~ WdLl:Gl 86, 6G LJO
It is difficult to analyze the vested nature of the land uses and deositylintensity without a
specific development proposal in front of us. Therefore, my conclusion set fortb below must be
general since no specific use is before the City for consideration.
Conclusion: The Town Center Development Regulation are land development
regulations- AB such these regulations can apply to the property subject to Vested Rights Permit
under the language of the Pennit. The Town Center Regulations would apply to spatial issues
like building size, location, height, signage. parking and other amenities. This application of the
regulations would be subject to the vested matters in the Vested Rights Permit.
There are some portions of the pending Town Center Design Regulation that would be
very beneficial to a property owner proposing a specific development of a multi-family or
commercial nature. These include the ability to use market factors and spatial considerations for a
site to increase density or square footage. Without a specific development proposal before me. I
do not believe that these can be calculated more precisely at this time.

Mr. Alan Whitney, representative of Springs Land/Jessup Shores Joint Venture, of
Maitland, stated the Company's objection to their property being included in the Town
Center Design. He further requested a delay in passing the Design Code to have time to
consult with their Partners and study the impact the Zoning Ordinance would have on
their property.
Mr. Gimms stated the meeting was dually advertised and included the map. He said the
decision to approve or disapprove the Town Center District Design Code will not be
made until November 23, 1998 by the City Commission and will afford the company
some time.
Charles C. Carrington, AICP, Community Development Director, informed the Board he
had received a letter from Mr. Lerner, representative of Springs Land/Jessup Shores Joint
Venture, and that it was his understanding that Mr. Lerner had asked that the particular
piece of property be included. Mr. Carrington further told the Board he had spoken to the
consultants and amended the map according to what he assumed Mr. Lerner requested.
He further illustrated that the company will have ample opportunity to evaluate the
advantages of being included in the Town Center.
Michael Grindstaff, Attorney representing Schrimsher Properties, requested a delay in the
consideration of the Town Center Design Code and any action taken relating to the Code
for atleast thirty days. Mr. Grindstaff stated the reason for the request was to have more
time to evaluate what has happened with their Development Agreement and the changes
taking place due to the fact that the Scrimsher property is included in the Design Code
map. He passed out a copy of the minutes from the City Commission of June 9, 1997
that deals with this issue.
Mr. Grimms explained to the Board that what is before them now is a Town Center
Zoning District to replace the Overlay Zoning District passed in June, 1997, not a Town
Center Overlay Zoning District.
Mr. Carrington informed the Board that there are two issues: The consideration of the
Zoning Text Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment. He explained that the Zoning
Overlay District relates to signs, landscaping and a variety of things. Before the Board
now is a Zoning Map Amendment to create a new Zoning District in the City. He further
explained that the properties contained in the Town Center District will no longer have
the zoning classifications they had as of this day.
Mr. Grimms stated an agreement could not be reached between the City and Mr.
Schrimsher and that there is no signed Development Agreement.
Mr. Carrington informed the Board that according to the motion made in the June 9, 1997
City Commission minutes, none of the Schrimsher Property will be included in the Town

Center Overlay Zoning District unless a Development Agreement is signed. He stated the
Schrimsher property was not included in the Overlay District that was adopted in 1997.
Board Member Fernandez pointed out that the Schrimsher property was now inside the
border in the Zoning Map Amendment.
Mr. Carrington responded that if there is confusion, the proper way to defer it is when it
gets to the second reading before the City Commission and that it will be the
Commission's discretion.
Michael A. Schrimsher, Schrimsher Properties, spoke about his objections to being
included in the Town Center.
Continued discussion between the Board, Mr. Schrimsher, Mr. Grindstaff, Mr. Grimms
and Mr. Carrington.
Juanita Blumberg, 1130 E. St. Rd. 434, spoke about contacting the property owners
involved directly to inform them of upcoming meetings and giving the Schrimshers thirty
more days. Ms. Blumberg asked if there is any document that defines the "allowed uses"
in the new Zoning Classification.
Mr. Grindstaff and Mr. Schrimsher also spoke about "allowed uses" and large buildings
being allowed.
Mr. Carrington, in response, stated that while the Town Center is not designed for large
buildings, there is a provision that will allow it, if approved by the City Commission.
Mr. Carrington also replied that "almost any use you can imagine is allowed in the Town
Center" at a greater density than what is currently allowed. He went on to say the Town
Center is "market driven" and the uses will be determined by a market study.
Mr. Grimms added that the citizens of Winter Springs did not want "strip malls", but
wanted something "different".
Mr. Schrimsher spoke about market studies and property values.
Mr. Grindstaff asked Mr. Carrington what the description of "permitted uses" is.
Mr. Carrington responded that the gentleman to ask that question to would be Victor
Dover of Dover, Kohl and Associates, as they wrote the Code. Mr. Carrington also
explained how the market study was done and that there will be a future market study that
is much larger.

Chairman Brown asked the Staff to clarify what the City Commission's action of
September 8, 1997 was, and if the Commission had already accepted and adopted the
Town Center Overlay Zoning District Regulations.
Mr. Grimms responded by saying that the action is the intent of the City Commission to
work with Dover, Kohl and Associates and that the Commission gave Dover, Kohl and
Associates the direction to come up with a "graphic design" oriented Code for the
development of the Town Center.
Board Member Karr asked Mr. Grindstaff what he (Schrimsher Properties) hopes to
accomplish with a thirty-day extension.
Mr. Grindstaff replied that they would like to have a better understanding on what is
happening and what happened to the Development Agreement.
Mr. Grimms again stated that this matter is more of an issue for the City Commission.
He added that the Planning and ZoninglLP A Board is looking at the content of the Design
Code and the intent of the Town Center is to allow for much flexibility in development.
Ms. Blumberg wanted to clarify that from the beginning the City Staff and Dover, Kohl
and Associates have made the flexibility and higher densities clear. She added that these
issues need to be put in writing.
Chairman Brown stated that he had asked the same question at the recent Workshop and
that it is "generically" defined.
Mr. Whitney asked about public notice ofthe meetings.
Board Member Fernandez asked Mr. Carrington if he would be correct to say that the
City Commission will consider the Town Center District Design Code on Monday night
(November 9, 1998) whether the Board recommends approval, approval with
modifications or denial, even if the Board requests it to be sent back for additional
information.
Mr. Carrington stated that Board Member Fernandez is correct and that the City
Commission can differ or postpone the Town Center District Design Code.
Board Member Fernandez re-emphasized the Board is not in a position to recommend a
continuance. He also stated that the boundary lines can be amended even after the first
reading by the City Commission if the Commission chooses.
Mr. Carrington explained that under the State Statutes the boundary, as advertised, may
be reduced but cannot be enlarged.

Board Member Fernandez asked the City Staff if the Board is sitting in their capacity as
Planning and Zoning Board in making the determination on the Town Center Zoning
Design Codes.
Mr. Carrington said yes, the Board, as the Planning and Zoning Board, is making the
determination on the District Language and the Map Amendment.
Board Member Fernandez said they do not have to take testimony under oath and asked if
the Board needs to make "findings of fact".
Mr. Grimms stated he tries to encourage the Board to make findings of fact when
appropriate and if possible.
Motion by Board Member Fernandez: "Then at this point, I would recommend to
the City Commission, and I am so moving, that they approve this Town Center
District Design Code as well as the Map Amendment. Based on the fact that I have,
as myself, also attended the Public Hearings, I have heard the input from the
Citizens that we are not looking for "strip shopping centers", That is a finding of
fact, that this has been reviewed, that the consultants have recommended it. I am,
however, open to the input received this evening; that the permitted uses: and I note
on page 10, Market Square, Note D3; Magnolia Square, page 11, Note D3; Hickory
Grove Park, page 12, Note D2; page 13, Southeast Neighborhood Square, Note D2;
Orange Avenue Park, page 14, Note D2; and page 15, Main Street, Note D3; as well
as State Road 434 Frontage Road on page 16, Note D2; again, Urban Boulevard,
page 17, D2; Town Center Street, page 18, D2; Edge Drive, page 19, D2;
Neighborhood Street, page 20, D2; Cross Seminole Trail, page 21, D2;
Neighborhood Lane, page 22, D2; everyone of those says "all permitted uses allowed
on all floors" in those Districts, And I do believe that this Legislation, and I'm
recommending to the City Commission, and whether it be a finding of fact or not,
that there ought to be some guidance to the Public as to what are "permitted uses",
If it is "all legal uses allowed on all floors" so be it, All "legal uses in Seminole
County", "all legal uses in the State of Florida", "all permitted uses,..", Again, if
there is a specific definition, then I recommend that in the Definitions stages up
here, up front where I saw it on page 4, Definitions III, that they include what they
mean by "permitted uses", If that be "legal uses", then that be included, In any
event, based on the status of this matter, as it has been today, the Public Input that I
have personally heard and various meetings, the Public Input received this evening,
I recommend approval to the City Commission and giving due deference to the
Schrimsher Properties and the other Property Owners to take into consideration
their request for additional time to meet with the City, With those
recommendations, I recommend approval",
Seconded by Board Member Karr, Board Member Stephens, Jr, asked for more
information on Florida Statutes 166, Mr, Grimms explained the Statute, which has

have been met and that the Assistant City Attorney, Bob Guthrie, has reviewed the
notices for this meeting and for both the first (November 9, 1998) and second
reading (November 23, 1998) of Ordinance 707 and expressed his confidence, Board

respect to the application for P-2000 grant monies to aquire open space within the Town
Center. He explained that in order to do this, the Staff is developing new policy
statements that will meet the review criteria for the Board. Mr. Grimms wanted to
emphasize that he spoke to Keith McKaren, who is one of the staff members of the P-
2000 program, and he pressed Mr. McKaren to come up with language and received the
verbiage. He mentioned to the Board that Mr. McKaren was one of the people who
reviewed the City's application last time and will be reviewing the City's application this

the Board that these are the new policy statements that the Staff is proposing to be
included in the City's Comprehensive Plan "with an eye directly towards increasing our
chances of getting a higher rating in the P-2000 grant application this time around in
Spring and getting monies".
