CONSIDERATIONS:
. The subject property was annexed into the City on June 14, 1999.
. The Local Planning Agency, at its May 19th, 1999 meeting, recommended approval of the
Future Land Use Map change with the condition that the applicant enter into a
development agreement based on his May 12th, 1999 letter.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY RECOMMENDATION:
The following motion was passed:
"That conditioned on the applicant entering into a developer's agreement, similar
to his commitments in his May 12th, 1999 letter, indicating a willingness to
provide buffering, and follow the spirit, if not the letter of this City's State Road
434 Corridor Visioning Plan; and to cooperate with the City to ensure that the
parcel meets or exceeds existing development and aesthetic standards, and
further, conditioned in that developer's agreement, that the front portion of the
property closest - the south portion of the property, closest to 434/419, be
limited in frontage usage to a "C-l" category, as indicated by Mr. John T.
Cathcart, of Winter Springs Executive Park, Inc., that he was so willing to limit
the property to the "C-l" category along 434" That then, assuming that the
applicant is willing to enter into such a development agreement with those
limitations, and I would further like to see the applicant get some actual notice,
either by mail or hand delivery to somebody from McKinley's Mill, so that they
could come to the City Commission meeting. That based on the preliminary
developer's agreement, that if he is willing to enter into that, that we recommend
that the City Commission approve a small scale comprehensive plan amendment,
changing the (pLUM) Future Land Use Map designation of the 7.558 acre
Wofford/Slappey property from (county) Suburban Estates (1 DU per acre max.)
to Commercial."

1. SOILS: I
I
The Soil Survey of Seminole County. Florida, published by the Soil Conservation
Service of the US. Department of Agriculture notes: "While many factors other than
soils are important iA planning for orderly development, soil quality is a basic and
continuing factor. I~ demands full consideration, not only as a guide in determining
use but also as a measure of the kind and magnitude of problems that must be
overcome for specidc uses. The decisions on urban uses are not necessarily
determined on the b*sis of suitability. The physical characteristics and qualities of
the soil become par~mount, and interpretations are more directly concerned with the
limitations, restricti1ns, or hazards and suggests corrective practices needed to
prevent serious mistres. JI
The soils on this property are: (#) - indicates soil map designation
(10) Bassinger, Samsula, and Hontoon soils, depressional
(20) Myakka ~nd EauGallie fine sands
I
(10) Bassinger, Sa~sula, and Hontoon soils, depressional - The soils in this map unit
are nearly level and very poorly drained. These soils are in swamps and
depressions. 1jhe slopes are dominantly less than 2 percent. In their natural
state, the soils In this map unit are not suited to use for homesites, commercial
or recreationalldevelopment, or sanitary facilities. The main limitations are
ponding, exceds humus, low strength, and subsidence.
I
I
!
(20) Myakka and E~uGallie fine sands: The soils in this map unit are nearly level
and poorly drained. The slopes are dominantly less than 2 percent. The soils in
this map unit are poorly suited to use for sanitary facilities, building sites, or
recreational development. The main limitations are seepage and wetness.
Water control, including drainage outlets, is needed to overcome wetness. Fill
material should be added to make these soils suitable for most urban use.
1. TOPOGRAPHY:
I
The subject propert~ is overall twenty-five (25) feet above mean sealevel.

2. FLOOD PRONE AI}EA:
I
i
A revi~w of the FE*A National Flood Insuranc~Progran~ Rate ~ap (12117CO 145-
E; Apnl 17, 1995) appears to show all of the subject 'land IS outsIde the 100 year flood
prone area, except fqr possibly the very northwest part of the property.

I
3. NATURAL RESOURCES, HISTORIC RESOURCES.
,
No natural or historip resources are known to exist on the subject land.
i
4. WILDLIFE AND S~ECIES DESIGNATED AS ENDANGERED, THREATENED
OR SPECIAL CONCERN:
I
No federally listed ehdangered plants are known to exist in the county. It is essential
that surveys of such !species be completed prior to site development of parcels
I
containing native vegetation communities. The subject property has only a few small
areas that are cleare4 of trees.
C. NUISANCE POTENT~L OF PROPOSED USE TO SURROUNDING LAND USES.
,
i
The nuisance potential onhe proposed use resulting from the change of Future Land Use
Map designation from coJnty "Suburban Estates" to City "Commercial" to the surrounding
properties should be minil~lal in view of the following: .
I
!
· The City has development standards in its land development regulations to ensure
minimal impacts on :surrounding properties, such as buffering. The City's land
development regulat)ons and the site plan review process of the Development Review
Committee can ensure the prevention or minimization of any potential nuisances.
I
!
· Although the S.R. 4f4 Corridor New Development Overlay Zoning District
regulations do not include the subject property, the applicant, in his letter dated
May 12, 1999, has i~dicated his willingness to provide buffering and "follow the
spirit of the City's S!R. 434 Corridor Vision Plan" . . .[and] . . .will cooperate with the
City to ensure the p~rcel meets or exceeds existing development and aesthetic
standards" .
· The commercial deJelopment that would occur on a 7 acre parcel is not expected to
generate a significant amount of traffic that would lower the Level of Service of S.R.
434.
III.
I
The applicant in his May 12, 1999 letter, indicates that they plan to develop the front
I
portion of the property with permitted uses allowed in the C-I Zoning District. "The
proposed use for thejnorthern (rear) portion of the propel1y is approximately 2 acres
of retention pond anCl wetland preservation area. The professional offices, such as for
dentists, lawyers, aCfountants, real estate, as well as home servicing repair businesses
is proposed to be looated to the rear of the subject propel1y.
The proposed comfrciai use.ofthe property is compatible with the existing land use
of adjacent properti,s, The adjacent property to the west of the subject property
involves an auto rep ir and salvage business, while the adjacent property to the east
has one (1) residenc with the owner operating an auto restoration business in the
sheds to the rear. T ere are other businesses e.g. antique shop, real estate office to the
west toward the belt ay.
The general area along S.R. 434 in proximity to the beltway is experiencing
development pre,ssure. Just to the west of the beltway, Hess Service Station has
been built, KashfN-Karry Food Store is about to be built as well as the 252 unit
Courtney Spring~ Apartment complex. This reflects the changing nature of the
area around the oeltway and S.R. 434, one that is evolving from a rural area to an
urbanizing area. I This area is experiencing the pressures of development primarily
due to demand f~r new residential and commercial development in a prime
location in gene~al proximity to the transpol1ation nexus of the beltway and
S.R. 434. i
The applicant's Jroposed land use "Commercial" is compatible with the
commercial nature of an urban arterial such as S.R. 434, as well as with the
existing comme~cial establishments in the general area of the beltway and
S.R. 434. I
There are businefses along the north side of S.R. 434 just east of the beltway such
as an antique shqp, real estate office, bicycle repair place, an auto salvage and
repair shop and an auto restoration business. At present, much of the area along
I
both sides of S. ~. 434 east of the beltway to the curve at DeLeon Street is vacant.
The general arealaround the transportation nexus of the beltway and S.R. 434 is
appropriate for c,ommercial enterprises.
.
.
FINDINGS:
.
.
.
,
The commercial idevelopment that would occur on a 7 acre parcel wi II not
generate a signi~cant amount of traffic that would lower the Level of Service of
S.R.434. I
!
The existing lan4 use adjacent to the subject property is vacant on the south side,
south of S.R. 43:4, vacant to the north, though that portion to the rear of the
subject property \vill be developed as the Battle Ridge residential subdivision, and
auto repair and restoration businesses adjacent on the east and west side of the
subject property.
