SYNOPSIS: As part of a $1.2 million funding request for two City of Winter Springs Projects within the U.S. 17-92 Redevelopment Corridor, on February 25, 2014, the U.S. 17-92 Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board voted to approve partial funding in the amount of $50,000 for design and engineering services to further the proposed SR 434 Streetscape Project. The total funding request for this project, including design/engineering costs, was proposed at$485,000. Approval of the attached agreement will allow city staff to work with VHB (vendor approved - C.C. Item 300 on 5/12/14)to develop 'shovel ready' plans for the SR 434 Streetscape Project, as detailed in Attachment 'A' to this agenda item, Exhibit 'A' (Scope of Services). Additionally, staff is working with the U.S. 17-92 CRA Manager to receive funding approval from the CRA for the construction phase of this project and for the design, engineering and construction phases of the Florida Avenue/U.S. 17-92 Medians Streetscape Project. The revised estimated cost for both projects totals about $1.8 million. CONSIDERATIONS: City of Winter Springs Resolution 2013-19 provides authorization to submit an application for funding to the U.S. 17-92 CRA for two separate streetscape projects. As part of this Consent 300 PAGE 1 OF 3-June 23,2014 agenda item, approval is needed to accept a funding agreement for one of the two projects in the amount of$50,000 to provide for design/engineering costs. APPROVALS PROCESS Over the past year, staff has been working closely with the U.S. 17-92 CRA Manager and the other member cities to navigate through the county's application and review process in order to obtain approval for the City's entire funding request. However, several changes to the original project scope have been necessary to meet requirements of Seminole County and to further enhance U.S. 17-92, including participation in the development of a unified landscape plan for the entire corridor. These changes have increase the total funding request for the Winter Springs projects by approximately $600k. A workshop with the U.S. 17-92 CRA Board to review the Winter Springs projects and others is scheduled for June 24, 2014 at Seminole County, when staff anticipates receiving more information on when the remaining funding can be approved. CRA TIF FUNDING FROM CITIES As of February 2014, the following contributions to the U.S. 17-92 CRA by member cities was reported by the U.S. 17-92 CRA Manager: • Sanford $6,594,630.46 • Seminole $13,796,141.11 • Winter Springs $984,016.27 • Casselberry $84,289.36 • Lake Mary $554,035.56 WINTER SPRINGS PROJECTS To date, the City of Winter Springs has sponsored one project funded from the U.S. 17-92 CRA Redevelopment Trust Fund, the Shepard Road Streetscape Project, in the amount of $530,623.58. The Shepard Road project has been very successful improving appearances of the community while also promoting economic development by attracting Meritage Homes with their premium housing product named 'Seven Oaks'. It is estimated that homes in Seven Oaks, once on the tax roll, will generate about $80,000 in ad valorem annual tax revenues for the City of Winter Springs and about $165,000 for Seminole County. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the attached agreement in the amount of $50,000 with the U.S. 17-92 Community Redevelopment Agency for reimbursement of design and engineering costs related to the SR 434 Streetscape Project will have a revenue neutral effect on the City's budget at this time. However, approval of future funding for construction of the SR 434 Streetscape Project will have an undetermined positive impact on revenues as property values in the surrounding area benefit from the project. COMMUNICATION EFFORTS: This Agenda Item has been electronically forwarded to the Mayor and City Commission, City Manager, City Attorney/Staff, and is available on the City's Website, LaserFiche, and Consent 300 PAGE 2 OF 3-June 23,2014 the City's Server.
