REQUEST:
The Community Development Department requests the Commission consider a conceptual plan for a
201 unit apartment complex on 10.32 acres within the Town Center.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Agenda Item is for the Commission to consider and provide guidance, as the
Development Review Committee, for a conceptual development plan for within the Winter Springs
Town Center.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS:
Chapter 163, FS
Chapter 166, FS
Comprehensive Plan
Chapter 9, City Code
Town Center District Code
Schrimsher Development Agreement (June 26, 2000)
CONSIDERATIONS:
Overview
The 10.32 acre undeveloped and treed site is located within the Winter Springs Town Center on the
southwest corner of SR 434 and the trail bridge (east of the Mobil station, on the south side of SR 434).
The topography slopes eastward from a high point of about 42' near the SW corner of the proposed
intersection of SR 434 and Michael Blake Boulevard to about 32' near the bridge crossing at SR 434.
The topography slopes even farther on the east side of the trail to a low of about 14' to 15' There
appears to be some wetlands in the area east of the trail, but not to the west of the trail.
Utilities
The site has central water and sewer available in the area, with adequate capacity. An 8" diameter
sanitary force main is located in the southeastern corner of the site, along the SR 434 right-of--way. A
12"potable water line is located along the eastern right-of--way line of Tuskawilla Road and extends
southward of the Mobile gas station site.

Town Center Issues
The Town Center Code and the Schrimsher Development Agreement address a number of items as
related to the subject property. One of the most important considerations is the continuation of the street
grid previously established in the Town Center Master Plan and further refined in the Doran Phase II
plans. This pedestrian- scale grid has been embraced in the proposed concept plan and provides for a
continuation of the street network through the subject site for eventual connection to Tuskawilla Road.
This interconnected grid network helps to provide pedestrian-scale blocks to the development.
Wide sidewalks and buildings oriented to the street with elevated first floors enhance the pedestrian -
friendly aspect of the neighborhood and help to create a sense of place - a key goal of the Town Center
Code. Street widths have been properly scaled to accommodate on-street parking as well as street trees
which assist in the creation of a meaningful public space.
The buildings have been located in such a manner to create nearly continuous frontages to further
enhance the public spaces while hiding the parking lots. This element will be refined as the project
moves into final engineering. While most of the buildings are three stories in height, the building
located at the southwest corner of SR 434 and "Townhouse Road" is four stories in height and is a key
element in creating a varied fagade appearance along SR 434 while framing the interior street (Town
House Road).
A gazebo has been added along the eastern property line where the trail bride becomes elevated. This
gazebo provides a terminating vista for the east/west roadway section within the development. While
the buildings will be brought back to the City Commission for formal Aesthetic Review, staff feels that
the proposed architectural style will lend itself well to the incorporation of Traditional Neighborhood
Development (TND) elements.
FINDINGS:
The proposed development is located within the City of Winter Springs Town Center and within
the area encompassed by the existing Schrimsher Development Agreement.
2. The Concept Plan appears to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, Code of
Ordinances, Town Center Code, and general TND principles.
3. Any deviations from the Code will be addressed through a development agreement, special
exception, or some other appropriate mechanism.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Commission approve the attached concept plan.
