REQUEST:
The Community Development Department requests authorization to submit the Florida National
Scenic Trail/Cross Seminole Trail (FNST/CST) Management Plan to the Board of Trustees of
the Internal hnprovement Trust Fund.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Agenda Item is to request the Commission authorize the submission of the
FNST/CST Management Plan, prepared pursuant to the management of public land owned by the
State of Florida, to the Board of Trustees,
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY:
Section 253.42 of the Florida Statutes states, "The Board of Trustees of the Internal hnprovement
Trust Fund ofthe state may exchange lands held or owned by, or vested in, said board for other lands
in the state owned by private individuals or corporations; and fix the terms and conditions of any
such exchange, and select and agree upon the lands to be so conveyed by said board; and the lands to
be conveyed to said board in exchange therefore; and agree upon and payor receive, as the case may
in the judgment of said board require, any sum or sums of money deemed necessary by said board for
the purpose of equalizing the values of such exchanged property, and make and enter into contracts
or agreements for such purpose or purposes."
Section 259.101(d) ofthe Florida Statutes states, "One of the purposes of the Florida Communities
Trust program is to acquire, protect, and preserve open space and recreation properties within urban

areas where pristine animal and plant communities no longer exist. These areas are often overlooked
in other programs because of their smaller size and proximity to developed property. These smaller
parcels are, however, critically important to the quality oflife in these urban areas for the residents
who live there as well as to the many visitors to the state. The trust shall consider projects submitted
by local governments which further the goals, objectives, and policies of the conservation, recreation
and open space, or coastal elements of their local comprehensive plans or which serve to conserve
natural resources or resolve land use conflicts."
Section 259.032(7) of Florida Statutes states, "The board of trustees may enter into any contract
necessary to accomplish the purposes of this section. The lead land managing agencies designated
by the board of trustees also are directed by the Legislature to enter into contracts or interagency
agreements with other governmental entities, including local soil and water conservation districts, or
private land managers who have the expertise to perform specific management activities which a
lead agency lacks, or which would cost more to provide in-house."
Section 253.034(5) of the Florida Statutes states, "Each entity managing conservation lands shall
submit to the Division of State Lands a land management plan at least every 5 years in a form and
manner prescribed by rule by the board."
CONSIDERATIONS:
1. Two (2) parcels comprising the Schrimsher properties were exchanged on February 8,
2001 between the Schrimsher Land Fund and the Board of Trustees, which facilitated the
realignment of the trail in the vicinity of the proposed Town Center.
2. Five (5) parcels comprising the Blumberg properties were acquired on April 18,2001 by
the Board of Trustees, which subsequently linked the proposed Magnolia Square trailhead
to existing and relocated sections of the trail.
3. A management plan for these properties must be approved by the Board of Trustees of the
Internal Improvement Trust Fund within twelve (12) months of the execution of each
lease agreement between the Board of Trustees and the Office of Greenways and Trails
(OGT).
FINDINGS:
1. The proposed management plan for the Schrimsher and Blumberg properties meet the
minimum requirements established by Sections 253.034 and 259.032 ofthe Florida Statutes
and Rule 18-2 of the Florida Administrative Code.
2. If authorized, the management plan would be submitted to the Board of Trustees and OGT

link the compact, urban form of the proposed Town Center with proposed
urban density and outlying low density development. Due to the location of
the trail realignment in the Town Center and its proposed density, higher than
average user counts and benefits (recreation, education, and environmental)
are expected.
B. Common Name of the Property and Brief Description
The properties are commonly known as the Florida National Scenic Trail/Cross
Seminole Trail - Winter Springs Town Center Segments. Owned by the Board of
Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund under the authority of Section
253.034, F .S., the trail will become an integral part of the pedestrian and bicycle
circulation system that will connect to the town square (Magnolia Square).
The trail properties consist of two (2) parcels (otherwise known as the Schrimsher
properties), which comprise a total of 8.21 acres and five (5) additional parcels
(otherwise known as the Blumberg properties), which comprise a total of 5.916 acres.
The two (2) parcels comprising the Schrimsher properties were exchanged between the
Schrimsher Land Fund and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to
facilitate the realignment of the trail in the vicinity of the proposed Town Center. The
five (5) Blumberg parcels were acquired in order to link the proposed Magnolia Square
trailhead to existing and relocated sections of the trail.
C. Land Acquisition Program Under Which Property Was Acquired
The properties were acquired through the P-2000, Florida Greenways and Trails
Program
D. Proposed Multiple Use
The trail is designed as a multipurpose facility for hiking, jogging, walking, bicycling,
nature watching, skateboarding, and horseback riding, pursuant to Section 260.012(1),
Florida Statutes.

G. Legislative or Executive Directives that Constrain the Property's Use
There are no known legislative or executive directives that constrain the use of these
properties as planned.
H. Degree of Title Interest Held By the Board
It appears that the degree of title interest held is fee simple. The trail corridor was
acquired by the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State
of Florida.
I. Extent of Public Involvement and Local Government Participation in
Developing the Plan
Pursuant to Section 259.032(10)(b) of the Florida Statutes, management plans for areas
over 160 acres require input from an advisory group, which shall conduct at least one
public hearing within the County where the parcel or project is located. Since the
subject properties comprise a total of only 14.126 acres, no public participation was
necessary for the development of this plan.
II. Natural Resources
A. Acquatic Preserve or Area of Critical State Concern
The Wekiva River Aquatic Preserve, located along the Orange-Seminole-Lake-Volusia
County lines as shown by Exhibit 3, is the closest aquatic preserve in the immediate
area. The trail will not impact this area.
B. Location and Description of Known and Reasonably Identifiable Renewable
and Non-Renewable Resources
. Soil Types:
Based on the Soil Survey of Seminole County, the dominant soils that occur
on the properties are sandy to depths of more than 80 inches. Some soils
have Spodic Horizon (locally referred to as hardpans) below 20 inches of the
surface, and some areas with Spodic Horizon are underlain by loamy
materials.
. Archaeological and Historical Resources:
There are no archaeological and historical resources known to occur on the
properties.
Florida National Scenic Trail/Cross Seminole Trail (WInter Springs Town Center Segment)
Management Plan

. Water Resources:
There are no water resources on the site.
. State and Federallv Endanqered or Threatened Species:
Both the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the
Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) were consulted during the
development of this management plan to determine if any listed species occur
in the trail corridor. A search of FWC's wildlife observation database and
FNAI's element occurrence database indicated there were records of a bald
eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and eastern indigo snakes (Drymarchon
corais couperi), both State and Federally listed as threatened. In 1999,
however, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service determined the bald eagle nest
had been abandoned.
As recommended by FWC, a site specific wildlife inventory will be conducted
on the trail corridor to determine the presence of rare, threatened or
endangered species, prior to future construction activity.
. Natural Communities and Features
Using the 1987-1988 LANDSAT imagery (most recent), FWC determined the
dominant land cover occurring on and around the trail corridor to be large
hardwood and cypress swamp areas. Also occurring were pinelands and
hardwood hammocks, smaller patches of shrubs and brushlands, barren or
developed land and grasslands (agricultural or disturbed), and scattered
areas of oak scrub and mixed hardwood pine.
C. Description of Resources Listed in the FNAI
Exhibit 4 is the official letter from FNAI, describing the resources on the properties
herein referenced.
III. Usage of the Property
A. Description of Past and Current Uses
The proposed realignment sites for the Florida National Scenic Trail/Cross Seminole
Trail - Winter Springs Town Center Segments have mostly remained undisturbed native
vegetation with minimal agricultural and residential use. Low-density residential and
livestock grazing are the only known uses to have previously existed. Portions of the
Schrimsher properties were once used as a railroad right-of-way. There are no other
significant physical improvements on the sites.

B. Purpose for Which land Was Acquired
The trail sites were acquired through the 1999 Greenways and Trails Program
Preservation 2000 (P-2000) to connect greenspace and trail parcels dispersed through
the City's Town Center and enhance conservation, outdoor recreation, and ground
water quality. The properties were further acquired to provide public access to
environmental preservation areas, multi-use trails and public parks and greenspaces.
c. Designated Use of Property
. ExistinQ Facilities and Uses:
Since the trail segments described in this plan are currently unimproved, none
of the planned activities occur on the site. The trail realignment areas are
heavily wooded and surrounded by fences remaining from previous uses.
The following are uses that exist in conjunction with the properties herein
named:
a. Schrimsher Properties:
Comprised of vacant land zoned Town
Center, with a portion currently used as
pastureland.
b. Blumberg Properties:
Comprised of vacant land zoned Town
Center, and the former site of two
single-family residences.
. Analysis of Multiple Use Potential:
The following actions or activities have been considered under the multiple-
use concept as possible uses to be allowed on the proposed trail.
Approved uses are deemed to be compatible with the purposes for state
acquisition, with the Conceptual State Lands ManaQement Plan, and with the
FWC agency mission, goals and objectives as expressed in the AQency
StrateQic Plan.
Rejected means the action or activity is considered incompatible with one or
more of these forms of available guidance for decision-making. Approved
and rejected uses are as follows:

D. Adjacent Lands Essential to Property Management
There are no identified properties within or immediately adjacent to the subject
properties that are essential to the management of either the Schrimsher or Blumberg
properties.
E. Surplus Property
At this time, there are no plans to surplus any of the properties associated with this
acqu isition.
IV. Management Activities
A. State and Local Authority
Section 259.101, F.S., establishes Florida's Preservation-2000 Act to acquire, protect,
and preserve open space and recreation properties within urban areas where pristine
animal and plant communities no longer exist.
Florida National Scenic Trail/Cross Seminole Trail (WInter Springs Town Center Segment)
Management Plan
6
Once this management plan is approved and the initial development phase is
completed by Seminole County (through an interlocal agreement between the County
and the City of Winter Springs), the Office of Greenways and Trails will transfer the
management of the trail to the City of Winter Springs. This will occur pursuant to
Section 260.016(1 )(f), F,S., which authorizes the State to enter into agreements with
any federal, state, local governmental agency, or any other entity for the management
of greenways and trails for recreation and conservation purposes.
The management plan for the Florida National Scenic Trail/Cross Seminole Trail -
Winter Springs Town Center Segments was developed pursuant to Section
259.032(1 O)(a), which authorizes designated State, regional, local governmental
agencies or private entities to develop and adopt, with the approval of the board of
trustees, an individual management plan for each project designed to conserve and
protect such lands and their associated natural resources.
B. Responsibilities
Through an interlocal agreement (Exhibit 5), Seminole County has agreed to entirely
fund the design and construction of the realigned section of the Florida National Scenic
Trail/Cross Seminole Trail - Winter Springs Town Center Segments, but management
activities will be the sole responsibility of the City of Winter Springs. The City will
provide police protection and garbage pickup. The City has also agreed to assume
responsibility for the daily opening and closing of entrance gates, although this
responsibility could be delegated to a local resident or stewardship group if approved by
the City Commission. City staff will be responsible for the maintenance of associated
fences, gates, interpretive facilities, and signs. The City does not anticipate sharing the
management of the trail segments with any other government agency.
C. Management Needs and Problems
There are no known physical or zoning problems associated with the site, such as the
unauthorized use of motorized vehicles, illegal dumping, hunting, etc. The greatest
challenge to the future management of the trail segments is funding. The City will
operate and maintain the trail, after improvements are made by the County. In addition
to annual City budget appropriations for the trail, the City will generate revenue for trail
management through special assessments.
D. Conflicts with Adjacent land Uses
The proposed improvements to the trail segments are keystones of the Town Center
Master Development Plan, which establishes planning objectives for the properties in
question, as well as surrounding properties in the Town Center. Therefore, the planned
use of the subject properties does not conflict with the existing or planned uses of other
adjacent properties.
Florida National Scenic Trail/Cross Seminole Trail (Winter Springs Town Center Segment)
Management Plan

E. Cultural Resources
According to the Department of State, Division of Historic Resources (DHR), there were
no identified archaeological sites on the subject properties. If any archaeological or
historic sites are discovered in the future, DHR management procedures will be
followed in order to protect those resources. Any ground disturbance of previously
undisturbed areas will be coordinated with DHR staff. The collection of artifacts or
disturbance of any archaeological or historical site on the subject property shall be
prohibited unless prior authorization has been obtained from DHR.
F. Natural Resource Restoration, Preservation and Management
Given the disturbed nature of the trail and its narrow linear configuration, ecological
restoration of natural communities is not a key management priority. The natural
communities along the corridor include large hardwood and cypress swamp areas,
pinelands and hardwood hammocks, smaller patches of shrubs and brushlands, barren
or developed land and grasslands (agricultural or disturbed), scattered areas of oak
scrub, and mixed hardwood pine. Although restoration is not a priority, all plants used
in the trail design and development will be native to the respective communities found
along the trail.
G. Impact of Planned Uses
The paved trail surface will be fifteen (15) feet wide, flanked on each side by a three-
foot at-grade shoulder (to provide trail users a surface change rather than drop off).
This paved trail design is recommended for trail facilities that are expected to receive
moderate to heavy mixed use by pedestrians, skaters, and bicyclists. It was selected,
due to the relatively high peak-period use expected on the trail, as opposed to eight (8)
or ten (10) foot pavement widths for trails that seldom receive heavy mixed use.
The unpaved trail surface will be eight (8) feet wide, flanked on each side by a ten and
one half (10 %) foot wide undisturbed area and a three-foot at-grade shoulder (to
provide trail users a surface change rather than a drop off).
Similar paved trails located proximate to large population bases across the state can
attract as many as 100,000 uses per year within the first one to two years. Access
points to the trail include the Magnolia Square trailhead, multiple road crossings along
both State Road 434 and Tuskawilla Road, and adjacent private property.
H. Compliance with State Lands Management Plan
The planned activities for the Trail are in compliance with the Florida State
Comprehensive Plan. Planned activities such as hiking, bicycling, horseback riding and
others comply with the state comprehensive plan by adhering to the following statutes:
Florida National Scenic Trail/Cross Seminole Trail (Winter Springs Town Center Segment)
Management Plan
8
. Section 187.201(10)(a)
"Goal - Florida shall protect and acquire unique natural habitats and
ecological systems, such as wetlands, tropical hardwood hammocks, palm
hammocks, and virgin longleaf pine forests, and restore degraded natural
systems to a functional condition."
The State's acquisition of abandoned rail corridors and greenspace for
conversion into trails provides outdoor recreation land. Through the
introduction of vegetation native to Florida and exotic species control and
maintenance, such acquisitions restore degraded areas to a more functional
condition.
. Section 187,201(10)(2)
"Acquire, retain, manage, and inventory public lands to provide
recreation, conservation, and related public benefits."
The trail realignment is consistent with the state comprehensive plan,
given the fact it was acquired with P-2000 funds through the Florida
Greenways and Trails Program. The acquisition of the trail corridor complies
with the above policy by taking an otherwise degraded strip and providing
recreational opportunities and enhanced environmental quality.
. Section 187.201(24)(2)
"Acquire and manage public lands to offer visitors and residents increased
outdoor experiences."
The trail will offer recreational and non-motorized alternative
transportation benefits for area residents, as well as statewide, national and
international opportunities for visitors. The trail will ultimately link significant
features of the proposed Town Center, while connecting to the Florida
National Scenic Trail/Cross Seminole Trail to enhance the infrastructure of
greenspace within the state.

J. Cost estimates for Conducting Priority Management Activities
The costs for developing a paved trail range between $100,000 and $200,000 per mile,
depending on factors such as drainage, quality of existing base, and the number of
water crossings. This figure includes trailheads, signage, and other amenities typically
found along paved trails. Cost estimates for annual maintenance of the trail would
typically be as follows:
Mowing
Trash Removal
Litter Control
Security
Miscellaneous Maintenance
TOTAL
$ 2,500
2,000
1,000
4,500
2,000
$12,000
When the trail is fully developed, there will be a need to readdress the herein described
estimates.
