Authorization
REQUEST:
The Parks and Recreation Department wishes to inform the Commission of
the "Wetlands Jurisdictional Line" on the police station property, sketch of
possible sports field activities and recommendation of Starmer-Ranaldi
Planning and Architecture, Inc.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this item is to inform the Commission of the limited property
available near the police station for sports field activities and the
recommendation of Starmer-Ranaldi Planning and Architecture, Inc. and
staff.
CONSIDERATION:
· The City Commission at the June 28,1999 meeting directed the City
Manager to get together with the consultant and determine alternative
solutions to the need for practice fields in the City including the area
surrounding the police station.
· Starmer-Ranaldi recommends that although you can physically squeeze a
few fields in the site it does not appear that this would be a very practical use
of the land.
FUNDING:
N/A
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the areas of usable land to the north and south of the
police station are more suitable and should be set aside for future expansion
wooded with limited access and no parking. The area at the intersection of
419 and Edgemon Avenue is impacted by wetlands. The area across from
Sunshine Park is small but may provide some T -ball fields and parking. Staff
recommends Starmer-Ranaldi looking more closely at this area.
IMPLEMENTATION:
. Prepare Conceptual Plan and cost estimate by June, 2000
. Planned Improvements in Fiscal Year 2001 budget

RE: Request for Validation of Jurisdictional Determination of the Torcaso/Sunshine Parks Project Site,
Seminole County, Florida
Dear Rich:
Pursuant to a conversation you had with Mr. Mark W. Christopher of our office, please find the attached
aerial and survey (3 copies) depicting the jurisdictional wetland limits on the above mentioned project site
for your approval. You had indicated that this would complete the information you need to finalize
a "desktop" jurisdictional determination. A letter requesting a site inspection was sent to you on
August 20, 1999. These wetland lines have been field reviewed and approved by Mr. Tony Miller of the
St. Johns River Water Management District.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact us. Thank you for
your cooperation.
cerely yours,

Re: Police Station Prop~rty
Chuck
Pursuant to your recent request we have reviewed the survey prepared by Tinklepaugh Surveying Services
Inc with the "wetland jurisdictional line" flagged by Breedlove, Dennis & Associates shown on the survey,
and created an overall master plan sketch showing TorcasoPark, Sunshine Park, and the Police Station
Property. .
This overall master plan sketch attached herewith as "Exhibit A" was prepared to show what capacity the
Police Department has to accommodate additional Park and Recreation sport field activities.
In our opinion although you can physically squeeze a few fields on the site in question., it does not appear
that this would be a very practical use of the land for the following reasons:
1. In order to stay outside of the limits of the wetlands the sport fields are located very close to
the roadway with little to no safety buffer.
2. In order to stay outside of the limits of the wetlands the sport fields need to be scattered about
the site and cannot be clustered for efficient use, maintenance, and / or operations.
3. In order to stay outside of the limits of the wetlands there is very little space in addition to the
sport fields for adequate parking for athletes, coaches, and 1 or parents.
4. As shown on the attached "Exhibit A" the only location for a reasonably full size soccer field is
on the north end of the property, and even then the two soccer fields shown have a negative
impact on the wetlands.
s. Certainly the property is capable, size wise, to handle several fields however, even with out
knowing the qualityofthe existing wetlands we believe the expense involved to mitigate the
wetlands for sport fields, would be extremely cost prohibitive.

We recognize that this study is very brief in nature, but our initial review of the infonnation at hand quickly
suggested that we not spend a lot of effort on this project at this time.
We trust this report is helpful to you in planning out the future of the City's Park and Recreational needs,
and would be happy to answer any questions you may have or provide any additional infonnation you may
need.

Legal Defense Expenditure
TO:
FROM:
In my absence, I would like to have this memorandum read into the record on my
behalf by the Mayor, or by the Deputy Mayor should the Mayor not wish to do so.
r understand that Mr. Mikes has filed a law suit against Mr. Partyka. This lawsuit
is personal in nature, and is in no way related to Mr. Partyka's responsibilities in canyi.ng
out city business.
Therefore, as I have stated before, I do not believe that any legal expenses
encountered by Mr. Partyka should be funded by the citizens of Winter Springs, Florida
or the League of City's Insurance. r further believe that this Commission should take a
stand at this time. and direct the City Manager to inform the League of City's that tllis
commission does not condone a legal defense expenditure for Mr. Partyka on this matter.
