(8) Oviedo Marketplace
–The plan for Section B of Parcel 14, comprised of a 77 unit
condominium project, was submitted on September 25 and was reviewed at the October
21, 2008 staff review. Staff received correspondence on December 1, stating that the
applicant was considering developing 58 residential units and using the southerly 2.5
acres (separated from the rest of the site by wetlands) for self-storage. On August 10,
2009, the Commission agreed with the applicant’s request to allow a 100,000 SF
storage facility within the DRI/PUD. At its October 12, 2009 meeting the Commission
approved an implementation agreement authorizing the indoor personal storage and
approved the concept of substituting either 184 independent living units, 318 assisted
living facility beds, or some combination of these on the remaining portion of Parcel
14. Staff met with the applicant on January 28 to address development of the storage
facility. A site plan for the storage facility was submitted on February 17, 2010and
was addressed at the March 16 staff review. Staff worked with the City Attorney to
determine a number of issues regarding the site (e.g. master plan, buffer, setbacks, and
signage). The applicant is currently working on the plat for Parcel 14 and anticipates
coming back with the Master Plan. The applicant is still working on a replat for Parcel
14 and a redetermination of the wetland boundary with the SJRWMD. The applicant
has requested a meeting (held on July 20, 2010) to discuss the final wording for the
Development Agreement for this project. The applicant’s unofficial request to excavate
was
an additional pond to provide fill for on-site developmentdiscussed at the August
17 staff review. Staff is working, in conjunction with the City Attorney, to finalize
language for the DA as well as to finalize the process for moving forward with the Stor
Kwik facility and the initial site plan for the ILF/ACLF facility. The Applicant, staff,
and the City Attorney have finalized DA language that is undergoing final review by all
parties. Initial reviews have yielded only two minor text items that need to be
negotiated. The City Attorney is finalizing the DA language and the applicant has
indicated that they are in negotiations with an ILF/ACLF company for the last portion
of the Parcel 14 site. All parties have finalized their review of the Implementation
Agreement and this Agreement has been scheduled for consideration by the City
Commission at their December 13, 2010 Regular Meeting. The Implementation
Agreement was approved by the Commission at the December 13, 2010 Regular
meeting. The applicant is working with the St. John’s River Water Management
District (SJRWMD) to get an Environmental Resource Permit for the site in order to
extend the time for construction of the facility. A conservation easement has been
granted to the SJRWMD for all onsite wetlands. The applicant is continuing to work
with the Stor Kwik on a modified plan which, when agreed upon by the developer and
Stor Kwik, will need to come back to the City Commission for consideration of the
modified plan. Signage visibility from Red Bug Lake Road continues to be a major
factor not only for the Stor Kwik site but for the ALF/ACLF facility as well. The
developer is continuing to work on these items.

9, 2004, meeting and refined it at its September 27, 2004 meeting. The City Attorney
noted that the concept plan, as proposed, would require a development agreement or
special exception or both. The 40 acres had been acquired without platting. The
applicant has hired a new design team and met with staff on May 31 and July 8, 2005 to
summarize outstanding issues. On August 29, 2005, staff received an aesthetic review
package. The state required a letter from the City’s Local Planning Agency, stating that
crossing the Cross-Seminole Trail with underground utility lines is consistent with the
City’s Comprehensive Plan(approved at the December 6, 2005 LPA/P&Z meeting).
The aesthetic review was approved at the August 28, 2006 Commission meeting. A
final engineering plan was resubmitted on September 20, 2006 and was reviewed at the
October 3, 2006 staff review. A request for an early work permit was heard at the

. City staff has compiled an ownership map for Phase I of the
Town Center. This map has been made available electronically for reference purposes.
Staff arranged a meeting with the new management company to discuss landscape and
hardscape maintenance, irrigation system repair and maintenance as well as overall site
maintenance. Staff met with two of the management/leasing companies on December
8, 2009 to discuss the current status of the Town center/lease amounts/recent tenant
losses, and plans for moving the Town Center forward. Staff received an e-mail list
from the tenant meeting and has updated the tenants on all relevant information
regarding the management and final ownership of the various sections of the Town
Center. Staff was working with Transwestern (management-company) to locate
Verizon Wireless Services at the western end of Building 11, but Verizon withdrew.
Staff had a meeting on January 19, 2010 with a representative of Business Capital
Solutions Group regarding marketing of the Town Center. This representative is also
contacting the management companies for the Town Center properties. Staff
understands that the transfer occurred on March 16, 2010. Mosaic Restaurant has
opened in the former Beef O’Brady’s location. The Hidden Harbor Seafood and
Lobster Feast is open in the former Gian Carlo’s location. Staff had a meeting with
representatives of Kee Wee Entertainment on July 2, 2010 to discuss initial plans for a
family entertainment complex and restaurant in Building #1 of the Town Center.
After much “back and forth”, Kee Wee Entertainment appears to have settled on the old
Eckerd’s building at the intersection of SR 434 and SR 419 for their entertainment
complex and restaurant. Senor Tequila Mexican Grill has opened in the previous Beef
O’Brady’s location. The request by ISIS for the City to vacate approximately 6 square

Commission meeting. Transwestern is working with the SJRWMD to finalize permits
for the demolition of the old Washington Mutual drive-thru and the construction of
additional parking in the drive-thru area. A fitness club has submitted permits to build-
out the eastern-most bay of building 16.Hollywood Bistro and Senor Tequilas have
left the Town Center. A permit has been issued for improvements for the Tutti-Frutti
restaurant between Tijuana Flats and Huey Magoos, leaving a residual space abutting
the parking lot. The owner has requested a permit for a slab (w. plumbing “stub-outs”)
in the 693.5 SF residual space that fronts only onto the parking lot. This space is the
result of the Huey Magoos build out taking 1 ½ bays. The remaining ½ bay referenced
above will not be a part of the new Tutti Fruitti Yogurt shop. In discussions with the
City’s Town Center consultant, this small remainder was not seen as a significant
problem as long as these areas are not allowed to proliferate in the Town Center. Staff
has determined that this space will need to be joined with an adjacent full bay when and
if either of the two bays is leased to another business entity. In the future, Staff will not
allow the splitting of a bay without a written legal agreement from the management
company stating that they understand that the residual portion of the bay must be
included in any lease of the adjacent bay. Zoo Health Care has met with staff on
February 8 and 15, 2001 to discuss moving into the corner space in Building 1, at the

2008 to finalize the methodology for building valuation to be used in assessing the
appropriate building permit fees. The applicant reports renegotiating materials prices
(in light of recent price declines) in preparation for submitting for a construction permit
to do the site/civil construction and obtaining building permits. The applicant met
again with staff on December 23, 2008 and announced that, due to the international
financial crisis, they were suspending the project indefinitely. The applicant has asked
for contact information for another developer who approached the City with a proposal
for an “independent living” facility for seniors. Staff met with the applicant on
February 27 and again on April 16, 2009 to discuss options for modifying the proposal

court with staff. A very limited plan was addressed at the October 20, 2009 staff
review. Staff met with the consultant for this project on January 14, 2010. They are
proposing to enclose the basketball court for an overflow facility as phase 1 of the

applicant on the aesthetic review for the first phase of development. A limited (scaled
back) site plan revision, comprised primarily of enclosing the 5,000 SF covered area,
providing a more secluded bus parking area, a dumpster enclosure, water and sewer
connections, and sidewalks along the adjacent ROWs was received andwas addressed

response. On July 28, 2010, staff received an electronic letter from the contractor,
requesting the sidewalk requirement (comprehensive plan and development agreement)
along Bahama Road be rescinded. Comments have been sent and received on the
building permit. The second review comments from the fire department have been
received and the permit is undergoing final review by the buildingdivision.The
building permit was issued on November 29, 2010, after the applicant secured the water
permit from the FDEP and paid the water and sewer connection fees to the City.
Construction has begun on the project. Church representatives have met with staff to
discuss allowing sidewalks in the adjacent ROWs to be deferred until the City installs
sidewalks along the adjacent roadways. The Public Works Department is in agreement
with this proposal.
