REGULAR AGENDA ITEM D
Page 3
single tenant identification signs spaced less than two hundred (200) feet apart.
The distance between the two (2) signs is one hundred twenty one (121) feet. The
Board recommended denial of a variance and instead recommended a development
agreement between the City and the Winter Springs Golf Course.
3) The developer has considered a variance request for Sections 20-463(1) and
20-464(14)(a) but chose not to apply through the Board of Adjustment because it
was too time consuming.
4) The developer, as a condition to entering into a development agreement, has
agreed to provide enhanced landscaping and to provide twelve (12) complimentary
junior golf clinics between October 1, 1999 and September 30, 2000.

a. Two (2) ground mounted single-tenant identification signs one hundred
twenty one (121) feet apart;
b. To eliminate curbs on the island medians; and
c. To have some islands at the end of the parking rows less than the
required ten (10) feet in width.
3) The variance request for the separation distance between the two signs was
formally presented to the Board of Adjustment. The other two issues were not
presented to the Board of Adjustment at the request of the developer.
4) The Development Agreement would provide:
a. Enhanced landscaping; and
b. A minimum of twelve (12) complimentary junior golf clinics which will
be conducted in partnership with the City's Park and Recreation
Department.

Entryway Enhancement
Ron
Pursuant to our recent discussions regarding the above referenced project"please review the following
opinion of additional enhancements to this site to compensate for the signage locatio.n violation.
The following additional landscaping can been seen on the attached exhibits A and B:
1. Add (7) 4" caliber trees
2. Add approx 1200 square feet of shrub (ie: variegated pittosporum)
3. Add approx 3500 square feet of ground cover (ie: giant green liriope)
4. Add (3) 60 foot long, 3 foot high earth berms
5. Add appropriate mulch bed and irrigation for the above plantings
7(450)=$ 3,150
600(9)=$ 5,400
2350(2.75)= $ 6,463
120cy(5)= $ 600
4700(0.35)=$ 1,645
Note that the proposed improvements are shown on the attached exhibits which do not accurately show the
entry wall and signage, thus the landscaping would need to be coordinated with same.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions and we trust this opinion is in keeping with your
intent and the City's best interest.

Re:
Community Development Director Memo dated August 18, 1999
Subj: Winter Springs Golf Course Development Agreement
I have reviewed the above referenced proposed Development Agreement between the City and
the Winter Springs Golf Course and offer the below listed comments:
1) The development agreement itself is not to be discussed at the August 23, 1999
Commission meeting. The only thing to be discussed is Staff recommendations as to
what should be included in the agreement.
Florida Statutes required two (2) public hearings (duly advertised in the newspaper about
seven (7) days prior to each public hearing). This has not been done.
2) In the last WHEREAS on page 1, it is mentioned that there are to be site plan
exceptions to the SR 434 Redevelopment Area Design Guidelines. These are not listed
in the body of the agreement.
The Golf Course is requesting variances to Section 20-463(1) which requires the curbing
of driveways and parking spaces, and Section 20-464(14)(a) which requires ten (10) foot
landscaped, curbed islands at the ends of each row of parking (please see attached Pages
5 and 6 of the Regular Agenda Item B scheduled for the Commission meeting of August
23, 1999). .
3) The variance request for the signs to be less than two hundred (200) feet apart stated
that the signs would be one hundred twenty one (121) feet apart.
4) It is assumed that the blanks referring to Exhibits in Paragraph 5(b) and 5(c) will be
Exhibits Band C.
5) Section 20-470 of the Code (Redevelopment Area) addresses Development
Agreements and reads:
Any developer may propose to enter into a developer's agreement with the City designed
to set forth terms and conditions appropriate to meet the circumstances of the specific
proposed development. Such Development Agreement shall be reviewed and approved
by the City Commission. The City Commission may vary the standards of this
ordinance, including building or perimeter setbacks, parking standards, signage and other
standards. If an increase in building height beyond thirty-flve (35) feet is requested, the
August 19, 1999

Page 2
City Commission must find that Fire Department capabilities are adequate to address the
change. Such consideration shall be based on building site constraints or physical
characteristics of the property, provided specifically, however, that any such concessions
for a constrained site shall only be considered by the City Commission in a Development
Agreement if enhanced perimeter landscaping or buffering is provided to assure that the
objectives of this ordinance are achieved.
QUESTION: Must this site be found constrained prior to entering into a Development
Agreement? If this is the case, then there must be some verbiage in the document so
stating.

groundwater elevation on the lots, and adequacy of the lot grading and
drainage plans.
(10) Street lighting plan, demonstrating power company participation.
(11) Landscaping plans. Where site is commercial, industrial, or
multifamily in nature, landscaping plans shall be presented along with the
final development plans, unless specifically waived by the staff at the time
of processing the preliminary plan.
S.R. 434 CORRIDOR VISION PLAN - REDEVELOPMENT AREA
CHRONOLOGY:
S~ptember 1, 1998 - Pre-Application Meeting with Staff
February 16, 1999 - Final Engineering submitted to the City for review
June 22, 1999 - Development Review Committee met on Final
Engineering
July 7, 1999 - Final Engineering presented to Planning and Zoning
Board
FINDINGS: 1. The plans, as submitted, do not meet the requirements of Sections 20-463(1)
and 20-464(14)(a) of the SR 434 Corridor Vision Plan - Redevelopment Area.
Sec. 20-463 OfT-Street Parking and Driveway Requirements.
(I) Paved Driveway and Parking Spaces: All driveways and parking spaces shall
be paved with asphaltic concrete and/or concrete and shall be curbed.
Developer states: "The parking lot is existing and will have minor modifications
done to it. The existing parking is sloped towards the islands and the drainage
runs into the islands and is collected in drainage pipes. Curbing the islands would
prevent the parking lot runoff from flowing throvgh the island medians."
Sec. 20-464 Landscaping.
(14 )(a) Parking areas shall include landscaped curbed islands at the ends of each
August 23, 1999
REGULAR AGENDA ITEM B
Page 6
row of parking. These islands shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet wide and as
deep as the combined parking spaces(s) plus median, if any and shall include at
least one ( 1) canopy tree.
Developer states: "The existing parking has some islands at the ends of the rows
which are not 10' wide, revising these islands would change the parking space
layout and require recoating and restriping of the parking lot to adjust the spacing
of the parking."
2) The developer desires a waiver to the above two (2) sections of the Corridor
Vision Plan - Redevelopment Area. The developer was informed in writing and
orally that the Staff could not waive requirements. This is a function of the
Board of Adjustment and the Commission.
3) The developer was explained the proper procedure for a variance request and,
because this is a timely process, elected to proceed without going through the
variance procedure.
4) The developer was informed on September 1, 1998 that this project would be
under the guidelines of the Corridor Vision Plan - Redevelopment Area.
5) The developer previously applied for a variance for sign spacing and the City
Commission was in agreement provided enhanced landscaping was provided. The
variances outlined in paragraph 1 can be incorporated in the Development
Agreement.
6) The Community Developer has authored a letter to Winter Springs Golf Course
outlining the steps required to fulfill the requirements of a Development
Agreement. A Development Agreement is authorized under Section 20-470 of
the Corridor Vision Plan - Redevelopment Area.
RECOMMENDATION:
Planning and Zoning Board recommends: "On the findings of the City Staff and
the findings of this Board the plan for the Winter .springs Golf Club with the
developer I.M.G., Meadowbrook Golf Group it is this Board's recommendation to
recommend disapproval based on the fact that this plan does not comply with
Code" with the following amendment, "that the developer come back with some
drawings showing curbing and the necessary width of the planters at the end of the
