did not receive the funding due to scoring of responses in the application that did not
meet the threshold level of points.
· The staff would like to reapply in 2000 for these funds. To improve the chances that our
application will receive acceptance this time around, new policies are proposed that
address the P-2000 Program staff's concerns and suggestions.
. The Florida Department of Community Affairs reviewed the large scale comprehensive
plan amendments LG-CPA-2-98, LG-CPA-3-98, and LG-CPA-4-98 and raised no
objection to the proposed amendment in their ORC Report issued April 30, 1999. DCA
recommended that the three policy statements can be strengthened by including in the
policy (in LG-CPA-3-98 and LG-CPA-4-98), more direction for the language to be
written into the LDRs to ensure protection of significant cultural and archaeological sites
from development or redevelopment, and ensure resource protection within the Town

Staff Report
The City staff applied to the Florida Communities Trust Preservation 2000 Program (P-2000) for

application will receive more points this time around, new policies are proposed below that
address the P-2000 Program staff's concerns and suggestions.
Below is the original responses to the application concerning growth management and the City's
comprehensive plan and the proposed new policies (LG-CP A-2-98, LG-CP A-3-98,

The Town Center project includes artesian springs and wetlands related to
Howell Creek which empties into Lake Jesup. This area has never been
built upon or disturbed. It contains native plants and animals indigenous
to the area. The City's adopted Comprehensive Plan contains objectives
and policies that encourage preservation of native vegetative communities.
Objective C of the Conservation Element of the Comprehensive Plan
states:
Protect, conserve and appropriately use the remaining native
vegetative communities, wildlife and wildlife habitat, particularly
species designated as endangered, threatened or of special concern,
and habitat utilized by those species, from destructive practices,
through site plan review criteria requiring the species and habitat
be identified, requirements that protection of remaining habitat be
enforced through development orders, and providing incentives for
such protection.
Policy 3 under Objective C of the Conservation Element states:
Ensure wildlife habitats known to be inhabited by species
designated as endangered, threatened or species of special concern

RESPONSE:
The Town Center project includes a proposal to coordinate with the
SWIM program for Lake Jesup under the direction of the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection and the St. Johns River Water
Management District. The City is willing to sign an agreement
guaranteeing coordination and adoption of measures required by the DEP
and St. Johns Water Management District to ensure the objectives of the
SWIM Program and future preservation of Lake Jessup. Special
arrangements will be made for an areawide stormwater retention facility
that will prevent pollutants from entering Lake Jesup. Some of the land
proposed to be acquired by the City will be used for creation of this
areawide stormwater retention facility. It is the intention of the City that
the Town Center Project will meet a higher standard of pollution control
due to the efforts of the SWIM program to clean Lake Jesup of pollution.

Dear Mayor Partyka:
The Department has completed its review of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amend-
ment for the City of Winter Springs (DCA No. 99-1), which was received on February, 19, 1999.
Copies of the proposed amendment have been distributed to appropriate state, regional and local
agencies for their review.
The Department has reviewed the proposed amendment for consistency with Rule
9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes (F.S.),
and the adopted City of Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan. The Department raises no
objection to the proposed amendment, and this letter serves as the Department's Objections,
Recommendations and Comments Report.
However, while the Department has no objections to the addition of the three new
policies, it offers the following comments:
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT:
LG-CPA-3-98: In part, the proposed policy states that more restrictive languag,e for
protection will be written into the City's LDRs.
Comment: The policy can be strengthened by including in the policy, more direction
for the language to be written into the LDRs that will ensure protection of significant
cultural and archaeological sites from development or redevelopment.

As a reminder, the Department wants to bring to your attention the need to incorporate
siting criteria for public schools into the City's comprehensive plan by October 1, 1999. The
1998 Florida Legislature revised Section 163.3177(6)(a), F.S., to strengthen the coordination of
land use planning with planning for public schools. The law states that the future land use element
must clearly identify the land use categories in which public schools are an allowable use and
include sufficient land proximate to residential development to meet the projected needs for
schools. The future land use element also is to include criteria which encourages the location of
schools proximate to urban residential areas and collocation of schools with public facilities, such
as parks, lioraries, and community centers, to the extent possible. The Legislature directed that
failure by a local government to meet the requirements will result in the prohibition of the local
government's ability to amend its plan with the exception of amendments related to developments
of regional impact.
The public school siting requirements need to be addressed in consultation with your
school board. While you work on the siting policies we encourage you to take the opportunity to
fulfill another need - the adoption of p"rinciples and guidelines to coordinate the comprehensive
plan with the plans of school boards and other units of local government. Under Section
) 163.3177(h)1 and 2, F.S., that is to be accomplished by the end of1999.
If your comprehensive plan does not now meet these requirements we recommend that
you work quickly to propose appropriate amendments. Please note that plan amendments to
incorporate school siting criteria are exempt from the limitation on the frequency of plan
amendments contained in Section 163.3187, F.S. If you believe that your plan already meets the
requirements, the Department would be happy to verify that status. In any case, we are available
to assist on this important issue.
Please contact Jeff Griswold, Planner IV, at (850) 487-4545, if you need additional
assistance.

Re: Historic Preservation Review of the City of Winter Springs (99-1) Comprehensive Plan
Amendment Request
Dear Mr. Eubanks:
)
According to this agency's responsibilities under sections 163.3177 and 163.3178, Florida
Statutes, and Chapter 91-5, Florida Administrative Code, we have reviewed the above document
to decide if data regarding historic resources have been given sufficient consideration in the
request to amend the Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan.
We have reviewed the three proposed text amendments to the Conservation, Land Use, and
Intergoverrunental Elements of the Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan to consider the potential
effects of these actions on historic resources. \\'hile the text amendments for the Conservation
Element and the Intergovernmental Elements should have no adverse effect on historic resources,
the Land .Use amendment addressing the protection of historical resources should have a positive
effect. The te>..1 indicates that the city will prepare and maintain an inventory of significant
historic sites. Does that mean tha~ the city will conduct cultural resource assessment surveys to
identifY and evalua~e these resources? Furthennore, how will the city ensure the protection of
these sites from development or redevelopment?
We continue to recommend that the city sponsor a systematic archaeological and an architectural
and historical survey to detennine if any significant historic resources may be present. If
sigruficant resources are identified, they need to be preserved and protected by the city. This can
be accomplished by means of the adoption of a local historic preservation ordinance.

In sum, it is our opinion that the amended comprehensive plan meets (although known and.
potential historic resources need to be carefully considered in the planning ph'ases of proposed
land use changes) the state of Florida's requirements as promulgated in sections 163.3177 and
. 163.3178, F.S., and Chapter 91-5, F.A.C., regarding the identification of known historical
resources within their specified area of jurisdiction, and for the establishment of policies, goals
and objectives for addressing known and potentially significant historical resources in Winter

Re: City of Winter Springs
DCA No. 99-1
Dear Mr. Eubanks:
SJRWMD planning staff has reviewed the amendments adding new policies to the Future Land
Us ~ Element (FLUE), Conservation Element, and Intergovernmental Coordination Element of
the City's Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the added policies to the FLUE and Conservation
Element is to strengthened policy language related to natural, cultural, and archaeological
) resources in support of a request to acquire Florida Communities Trust funding for purchase of
lands associated with the Town Center area. The new policy to be added to the
Intergovernmental Coordination Element stresses the intent of the City to coordinate
development of the Town Center area with the plans of other governmental agencies including
the ongoing Lake Jesup restoration project.
SJRWMD planning staff has no water resource-related concerns with these amendments, but
recommends that the policy addition to the Intergovernmental Coordination remove the reference
the Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) program. The Lake Jesup
Restoration And Management Project was initiated by the Lake Jesup Act of 1994 and is not a
SWIM water body. However, the SJRWMD is undertaking this project in a manner similar to
the approach taken with the four SJRWMD SWIM water bodies. The City of Winter Springs has
participated in the Lake Jesup project as a member of the Friends of Lake Jesup. Recommended
language for the last sentence of this policy is: 'The City shall coordinate with the resource
protection efforts of the SJRWMD for Lake Jesup and the City shall be involved in the
development and implementation of the Lake Jesup Restoration and Basin Management P1a..I1."
The City is encouraged to continue to seek funding for the acquisition of the natural resource-
related lands associated with the Town Center Area. The City is also encouraged to coordinate
its efforts with the SJRWMD as this area is shown as potential acquisition on the SJRWMD
Five-Year Land Acquisition Plan map. The contact at SJRWMD for land acquisition is Ray

Also, the City's dJta and analysis refers to implementation of an "areawide stormwatcr retention
facility" as part of the Town Center Area project to prevent pollutants from entering Lake Jesup.
The City muY want to investigate applying for stormwater cost-share funding that maybe
available for FY 1999-2000 as it has in the past for other projects. Further, the City may want to
coordinate this proposal with the Lake Jesup Restoration and Management Project. The contact
at SJRWMD for the Lake Jesup project is Regina Lovings (904)329-4819.
We look forward to continuing to working with the City concerning its future planning efforts. If
you have any questions or need additional information, please call Nancy Christman,
