CONSIDERATIONS
. In January 2005, the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) purchased a
portion of the Minter property located at the southwest comer of Howard Avenue and
DeLeon Street, as shown in Exhibit 1 attached. The 27-acre site is located entirely within the
City of Winter Springs at the northeastern comer of the City limits, east of Barrington
Estates.
. The funding source to purchase the property came from the Florida Forever program. The
Florida Forever program is the state's primary land acquisition program for conservation of
Florida's unique natural resources. In addition to land acquisition, the Florida Forever
program encompasses a wider range of goals, including: restoration of damaged
environmental systems, water resource development and supply, increased public access,
public lands management and maintenance, and increased protection of land by acquisition of
conservation easements.
. SJRWMD, in conjunction with Seminole County, is planning to design and construct a
Regional Stormwater Treatment Facility at this property. The proposed project is currently
in the conceptual stage of the design and engineering.
. A public information meeting was held by SJRWMD and Seminole County at the Oviedo
Public Library on May 4, 2006. The purpose of the public meeting was to give residents the
opportunity to provide input before the project moves into final design.
