Existing Land Uses — The subject parcels, currently within Seminole County, are located just east of the intersection of State Road 434 and State Road 417. The applicant desires to combine the two (2) county parcels for a future single - family development. The surrounding area is primarily a mixed use (residential and commercial) corridor serving as an entry point to the City of Winter Springs. The subject properties are currently vacant, owned by Janet Mann and William Wilson and abut State Road 434, which is a mixed use node. This is an area that is conducive to future commercial, office, and residential development. The subject properties are currently designated "Suburban Estate" on the Seminole County Future Land Use Map and Agriculture "A -1" on the Seminole County Zoning Map. The surrounding area is generally characterized by the following land use and zoning categories. Proposed Future Land Use Classification — The proposed Large -Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment proposes to change the Future Land Use Map designation from the Seminole County "Suburban Estate" designation to the City of Winter Springs "Low Density Residential" designation. The requested "Low Density Residential" future land use designation has a maximum density /intensity limitation of 3.5 dwelling units per gross acre. The applicant desires to combine the two (2) county parcels with for future development. The proposed Conceptual Plan yields 36 lots (see 'Attachment H - Public Hearings 502 PAGE 3 OF 12 - December 14, 2015 Existing Land Uses Zoning Future Land Use Subject Vacant Property Seminole County: Seminole County: Properties Agriculture "A -1 " Suburban Estate (SE) North Vacant City of Winter Springs: City of Winter No Zoning Springs: Conservation South Vacant Property, Single- City of Oviedo City of Oviedo Family Residential W -1 & C -1 Low Density Residential & Commercial East Vacant Property City of Winter City of Winter Springs: Neighborhood Springs: Commercial "C -1" Commercial West Single- Family City of Winter Springs: City of Winter Residence; Antique Greeneway Interchange Springs: Shop; Vacant Property District "GID" Greeneway Interchange Seminole County: District; Agriculture "A -1" Seminole County: Commercial Proposed Future Land Use Classification — The proposed Large -Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment proposes to change the Future Land Use Map designation from the Seminole County "Suburban Estate" designation to the City of Winter Springs "Low Density Residential" designation.

(12) Does Not Constitute a Special Privilege- The proposed rezoning does not constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare. (13) Not out of Scale- The proposed rezoning change is not out of scale or incompatible with the needs of the neighborhood or the City. (14) Does Not Violate any City Land Use Regulations- The proposed rezoning does not violate any applicable land use regulations adopted by the City. Letters/Phone Calls In Favor Or Opposition — To date, the City has not received any letters or phone calls in favor or opposition. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT ANALYSIS: The following summarizes the data and issues which staff analyzed in reviewing this Public Hearings 502 PAGE 4 OF 12 - December 14, 2015 application: Justification for Future Land Use Designation - The requested Large -Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment proposes to change the Future Land Use Map designation from "Suburban Estate" to "Low Density" for approximately 18.67 gross acres, more or less, currently within Seminole County, Florida, and generally located just east of the intersection of State Road 434 and State Road 417. The proposed use and density is compatible with the surrounding area which is primarily a mixed use (residential and commercial) corridor serving as an entry point to the City of Winter Springs and thereby deemed as an area that is conducive to future commercial, office, and residential development. PUBLIC FACILITIES: ROAD S /TRAFFIC CIRCULATION: The portion of State Road 434 that abuts the subject property contains two (2) lanes, having one east bound and one westbound lane as you travel east on State Road 434. Development of the property will require coordination with FDOT, the permitting agency for driveway connections to State Road 434. The segment of State Road 434 from State Road 417 to Hammock Lane is near or perhaps over capacity, and this could impact the ability to develop these properties at the desired use and /or density. State Road 434 is tentatively programmed by Seminole County to be widened from two to four lanes within the next ten years; however, this project has not even started the study phase at this time. Availability ofAccess: Future residential development will have direct access to State Road 434. The Preliminary Subdivision Plan identifies two (2) points of direct access to State Road 434. Function Classification: State Road 434 is a principal arterial that runs north from Edgewater Drive near Orlando to Altamonte Springs, then east to Oviedo, and then south to East Colonial Drive. Within this portion of the City of Winter Springs, State Road 434 is a two -lane arterial roadway. According to the City's Comprehensive Plan, the level of service (LOS) on this portion of State Road 434 is an "F ". POTABLE WATER: The City has water and sewer services available to serve the subject property. The water service consists of an existing 12 -inch water main along the north side of State Road 434. WASTEWATER The City has an existing 6 -inch force main along the south side of State Road 434. RECLAIMED WATER: Facilities serving the subject property: None currently. ELECTRIC SERVICE: Facilities serving the subject property: None currently. The City of Winter Springs is serviced by Duke Energy for electric service. A future land use change will not impact current electric rates. SOLID WASTE: Public Hearings 502 PAGE 5 OF 12 - December 14, 2015 Facilities serving the subject property: None currently. The City of Winter Springs currently has a franchise agreement and is serviced by Waste Pro of Florida, Inc., a private solid waste contractor who will provide service to this area. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT: Facilities serving the parcels: None currently. Upon development, the site will be required to provide on -site stormwater management in accordance with all applicable St. John's River Water Management District (SJRWMD) criteria. POLICE: The City of Winter Springs is responsible for police protection. The station closest in proximity to the subject property is located at 300 N. Moss Road. Response times are averaged monthly. FIRE: Seminole County is responsible for fire protection. City of Oviedo Fire Station 44, located at 42 Central Avenue South, Oviedo, Florida is the closest fire station. The response time is approximately two minutes. NUISANCE POTENTIAL OF PROPOSED USE TO SURROUNDING LAND USES: The change in designation from Seminole County "Suburban Estate" to City of Winter Springs "Low Density Residential" will not result in any nuisance potential for the surrounding properties because proposed uses are compatible with the "Low Density Residential" future land use designation, and the subject properties are surrounded primarily by commercial, and residential uses. NATURAL RESOURCES COMPATIBILITY: There are no conservation overlays on the subject property (see Attachment I - Wetland Flag Exhibit & Attachment J - Topo Map). SOILS According to the Soil Survey of Seminole County, Florida, prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS), four (4) soil types occur within the subject property boundaries (see Attachment K - Soils Map). These soils include the following: Basinger, Samsula and Hontoon soils, depressional ( #10) Basinger and Smyrna fine sands, depressional ( #11) Myakka and EauGallie fine sands ( #20) Pomello fine sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes ( #27) The following presents a brief description of each of the soil types mapped for the subject property: Basinger, Samsula and Hontoon soils, depressional ( #10) are nearly level, very poorly drained soils found in swamps and depressions. Typically the surface layer of Basinger soil consists of very dark gray mucky fine sand about 6 inches thick. The surface layer of Samsula soil typically consists of muck about 30 inches thick. Typically the surface layer of Hontoon soil consists of dark reddish brown muck about 18 inches thick. During most years, the undrained areas of the soils in this map unit are ponded for 6 to 9 months or more. The permeability of this soil unit is rapid. Public Hearings 502 PAGE 6 OF 12 - December 14, 2015 Basinger and Smyrna fine sands, depressional ( #11) are nearly level, very poorly drained soils found in depressions. Typically the surface layer of Basinger soil consists of black mucky fine sand about 5 inches thick. Typically the surface layer of Smyrna soil consists of black fine sand about 2 inches thick. During most years undrained areas of this soil unit are ponded for 6 to 9 months. The permeability of Basinger soil is rapid. The permeability of Smyrna soil is rapid in the surface and subsurface, moderate or moderately rapid in the subsoil, and rapid in the substratum. Myakka and EauGallie fine sands ( #20) are nearly level, poorly drained soils found on broad plains on the flatwoods. Typically the surface layer of Myakka soil consists of black fine sand about 5 inches thick. The surface layer of EauGallie soil typically consists of dark gray fine sand about 5 inches thick. During most years the seasonal high table for this soil type is within 12 inches of the surface for 1 to 4 months. The permeability of Myakka soil is rapid in the surface and subsurface layers and in the substratum and moderate or moderately rapid in the subsoil. The permeability of EauGallie soil is rapid in the surface and subsurface layers, moderate or moderately rapid in the sandy part of the subsoil and moderately slow in the loamy part of the subsoil. Pomello fine sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes ( #27) is a nearly level to gently sloping, moderately well drained soils found on low ridges and knolls on the flatwoods. Typically the surface layer of this soil type is light gray fine sand about 2 inches thick. In most years, the seasonal high water table for this soil type is at a depth of 36 to 60 inches for 1 to 4 months. The permeability of this soil type is very rapid in the surface and subsurface layers, moderately rapid in the subsoil, and rapid in the substratum. The Florida Association of Environmental Soil Scientists ( FAESS) considers the Basinger, Samsula and Hontoon soils, depressional ( #10) and Basinger and Smyrna fine sands, depressional ( #11) soil types associated with the property to be a hydric soil. Furthermore, the FAESS considers inclusions present in the Myakka and EauGallie fine sands ( #20) soil type associated with the property to be hydric. This information can be found in the Hydric Soils of Florida Handbook, Third Edition, March 2000. FLOOD PRONE AREAS According to the Seminole County Property Appraiser's records, the property is within both flood zone "X" and "AE ". Flood hazard areas identified on the Flood Insurance Rate Map are identified as a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). SFHA are defined as the area that will be inundated by the flood event having a 1- percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The 1- percent annual chance flood is also referred to as the base flood or 100 -year flood. SFHAs are labeled as Zone "AE ". The areas of minimal flood hazard, which are the areas outside the SFHA and higher than the elevation of the 0.2- percent- annual- chance flood, are labeled Zone "X" (see Attachment L - Flood Map). HISTORIC RESOURCES No known historical resources are known to be located on the subject property. WILDLIFE PROTECTED SPECIES Using methodologies outlined in the Florida's Fragile Wildlife (Wood, 2001); Measuring and Monitoring Biological Diversity Standard Methods for Mammals (Wilson, et al., 1996); Wildlife Methodology Guidelines (1988); and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FFWCC's) Gopher Tortoise Permitting Guidelines (revised April 2013); an assessment for "listed" floral and faunal species was conducted at the site on November 3, Public Hearings 502 PAGE 7 OF 12 - December 14, 2015 2014 (see Attachment M - Environmental Assessment Report) . This assessment included both direct observations and indirect evidence, such as tracks, burrows, tree markings and vocalizations that indicated the presence of species observed. The assessment focused on species that are "listed" by the FFWCC's Official Lists - Florida's Endangered Species, Threatened Species and Species of Special Concern (January 2013) that have the potential to occur in Seminole County (see attached Table 1). Two (2) plant species were identified that are listed as "commercially exploited" by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). The harvesting of these species, cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea) and royal fern (Osmunda regalis), for commercial gain, is not permitted. The listing of these species poses no restrictions towards the development of the subject property. The following is a list of those wildlife species identified during the evaluation of the site: Reptiles and Amphibians brown anole (Norops sagrei) eastern black racer (Coluber constrictor) Florida leopard frog (Lithobates sphenocephalus sphenocephalus) green anole (Anolis carolinensis) green tree frog (Hyla cinerea) Birds American Crow (Corvus caurinus) Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus) Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) Northern Cardinal ( Cardinalis cardinalis) Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) Mammals eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) common raccoon (Procyon lotor) marsh rabbit (Sylvilagus palustris) nine - banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) white- tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) Virginia possum (Didelphis virginiana) CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Future Land Use Element The Preliminary Subdivision Plan that was presented by the applicant contains 51 residential units on 18.67 acres yielding a density of 2.73 dwelling units per acre. Per the Comprehensive Plan, the Low Density Residential future land use category has a maximum density threshold of (3.5) dwelling units per gross acre. To help evaluate the anticipated impact of said development, the applicant has agreed to enter into a Developer's Agreement hereby reducing both the side and rear yard setbacks etc. The surrounding area is generally characterized The proposed future land use amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed future land use amendment is consistent with the following Goals, Objectives and Policies from the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan: GOAL 1: Quality of Life. To ensure that the character, magnitude, and location of all land uses provides a system for orderly growth and development (as defined in sections 163.3221 and 380.04, Florida Statutes) that achieves a balanced, natural, energy efficient, Public Hearings 502 PAGE 8 OF 12 - December 14, 2015 and economic environment, and enhances the quality of life of all residents throughout and beyond the 2030 planning horizon. The subject site as it currently exists is an enclave surrounded by the City of Winter Springs. This enclave is adjacent to the City both to the west and the east and will be developed consistently with the City of Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan and Code of Ordinances. Policy 1.2.2: Potable Water. Do not issue development orders unless it can be determined that adequate potable water supplies and facilities are available. (Cross Reference: See Infrastructure Element, Policy 2.3.3) Water is available to serve the project. Policy 1.2.4: Sewer. Require residential and commercial development and redevelopment, to connect to or extend the central sewer system to provide service to their development, except for single family residential that includes only one or two lots. (Cross Reference: See Infrastructure Element, Policy 1.4. 1) Sewer is available to serve the project. Policy 1.4.5: S.R. 434 Overlay. Implement the S.R. 434 overlay corridor design standards to encourage infill development that is appropriate for the character of the neighborhoods adjacent to this corridor. Allow a vertical mix of uses to promote a live -work environment. The applicant seeks to expand the boundaries of the City in preparation for a single - family development. Policy 1.61: Cross Access Easements. Require shared driveways and cross access easements between adjacent properties where feasible to support efficiency in travel and to reduce demand on arterial and collector streets. Development projects over ten (10) acres shall have more than one point of access unless determined infeasible. (Cross Reference: See Multimodal Transportation Element, Policy 1.2.2) (Ord. 2010 -18; 10- 25 -10) The proposed Preliminary Subdivision Plan identifies two (2) points of entry on State Road 434. Policy 1.8.2: Enclaves. Annex all enclaves, where feasible, in order to reduce land use conflicts and provide efficient public service. The subject site as it currently exists is an enclave surrounded by the City of Winter Springs. Policy 1.8.3: Condition for Connection to City Utilities. Require new development within the County in areas that are contiguous to the City, to be annexed into the City and to be developed to City standards as a condition for connection to City utilities, unless that development is the subject of a mutually accepted utility agreement. The subject property as it currently exists is an enclave surrounded by Amendment is a companion to a proposed Annexation (Ordinance 2015 -01) and Rezoning (Ordinance 2015 -03) request. Upon annexation adoption, the proposed project will be developed to City standards as a condition for connection to City utilities. Policy 61.4: Procedures for Inclusion of Annexed Properties into the City's TCEA. Place properties that involve a large -scale land use amendment into a City TCEA Zone as part of the large -scale amendment process and amend simultaneously the appropriate TCEA map (s). Place properties that involve a small -scale land use amendment into a City TCEA Zone as part of the next large -scale amendment cycle, and amend simultaneously the appropriate TCEA map(s). During the interim period, after obtaining a City land use category, but prior to placement in a City TCEA Zone, development on property may proceed by the development providing and funding mobility standards and requirements of the most physically proximate Zone. If the property is adjacent to two Zones, the City shall assign Public Hearings 502 PAGE 9 OF 12 - December 14, 2015 the Zone after making a determination as to which is most appropriate. Per Policy 1.11.2, Transportation Element, TCEA Zone C includes properties within V2 mile (2640 feet) of the centerline of State Road 434, extending from the western City boundary to the eastern City boundary, exclusive of those parcels included within Zone A or B and properties within V2 mile (2640 feet) of the centerline of U.S. 17 -92, extending from the northern most City boundary to the southernmost City boundary. Zone C contains both built -up properties, properties suitable for redevelopment and some vacant parcels. Public facilities and services are available, such as sanitary sewer, potable water, roads, and recreation areas. In 2009, a LYNX route began servicing the City and now provides direct access to the University of Central Florida. Ridership has exceeded expectations. This route is at the heart of the City's mobility strategies, as it is the "mobility artery" that pedestrian and bicycle feeders will link into and which will in turn will provide the City with connectivity to SunRail. However, older areas of Zone C have no sidewalks. The provision of sidewalks within a 1/4 mile of the LYNX fixed route has been identified as one of the major components of the City's pedestrian Q/LOS (see Attachment D - TCEA Map). Policy 1.3.1 - requires all development proposals to determine their specific impacts on current Level of Service (LOS) and mobility standards. The applicant has submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis for said development. The report analyzes the traffic related impact for the proposed Preliminary Subdivision Plan consisting of 51 single - family dwelling units. Currently only 36 single family lots are being proposed. Policy 1.3.4 - requires the City to support proposed future land use map amendments with data and analysis demonstrating that adequate water supplies and associated public facilities will be available to meet the projected growth demands. City water and sewer service is available to serve the subject property. Policy 1.64 - Encourages land uses that generate high traffic counts to locate adjacent to arterial roads and mass transit systems. The proposed single - family development has direct access to State Road 434. The portion of State Road 434 that abuts the subject property contains two (2) lanes, having one east bound and one westbound lane as you travel east on State Road 434. State Road 434 is tentatively programmed by Seminole County to be widened from two to four lanes within the next ten years; however, this project has not even started the study phase at this time. Policy 1. 7.1 - requires the City to consider existing and proposed land uses in adjacent jurisdictions when reviewing proposed land use amendments. The proposed use and density is compatible with the surrounding area, as it generally characterized by both low and medium density residential and commercial development patterns. Transportation Element The proposed future land use amendment is consistent with the following policies from the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan: Policy 1.1.7 and Policy 1.11.5 — requires a Transportation Impact Analysis for all new development generating more than 300 total annual average daily trips. The applicant has provided a Traffic Impact Analysis for the proposed development (see Attachment N - Traffic Impact Analysis). Said analysis shall be reviewed in detail as part of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan submittal. Public Hearings 502 PAGE 10 OF 12 - December 14, 2015 FINDINGS: 1. The request is consistent with all applicable goals, objectives and policies of the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan. 2. The request is in conformance with the purpose and intent of the City Code and with all applicable requirements. 3. Considering the type and location of uses involved and the general character of the area, the change of the FLUM designation will not result in any incompatible land uses, including such factors as height, bulk, scale, intensity, traffic, noise, drainage, dust, lighting, appearance, and other factors deemed important. 4. The request is consistent with Florida Statute Chapter 163, Part II, of the Florida Statutes. FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed Large Scale future Plan Amendment will increase the possibility of additional taxable value to the City and potentially spur the increase of future residential, commercial and /or office development activity within this particular area. A detailed Fiscal Impact Report will be performed once specific development plans are made available.

Dorworth 1520 Whitstable Court Lake Mary, Florida 32746 Proj: State Road 434 Subdivision Site - Seminole County, Florida Parcel IDs #04-21-31-300-0090-0000 and #04-21-31-300-009A-0000 (BTC File #579-04) Re: Environmental Assessment Report Dear Mr. Dorworth: During November of 2014, Bio-Tech Consulting, Inc. (BTC) conducted an environmental assessment of the approximately 18.67-acre State Road 434 Subdivision Site. This site is located just east of the intersection of State Roads 434 and 417 (Central Florida GreeneWay), within Section 04, Township 21 South, Range 31 East, Seminole County, Florida (Figures 1, 2 and 3). This environmental assessment included the following elements: • Review of soil types mapped within the site boundaries; • evaluation of land use types/vegetative communities present; • field review for occurrence of protected flora and fauna; and • discussion of anticipated development constraints. SOILS According to the Soil Survey of Seminole County, Florida, prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), four (4) soil types exist within the subject property boundaries (Figure 4). These soil types include the following: Christopher E. Dorworth State Road 434 Subdivision Site - Seminole County, FL (BTC File #579-04) Environmental Assessment Page 2 of 11  Basinger, Samsula and Hontoon soils, depressional (#10)  Basinger and Smyrna fine sands, depressional (#11)  Myakka and EauGallie fine sands (#20)  Pomello fine sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes (#27) The following presents a brief description of each of the soil types mapped for the subject property: Basinger, Samsula and Hontoon soils, depressional (#10) are nearly level, very poorly drained soils found in swamps and depressions. Typically the surface layer of Basinger soil consists of very dark gray mucky fine sand about 6 inches thick. The surface layer of Samsula soil typically consists of muck about 30 inches thick. Typically the surface layer of Hontoon soil consists of dark reddish brown muck about 18 inches thick. During most years, the undrained areas of the soils in this map unit are ponded for 6 to 9 months or more. The permeability of this soil unit is rapid. Basinger and Smyrna fine sands, depressional (#11) are nearly level, very poorly drained soils found in depressions. Typically the surface layer of Basinger soil consists of black mucky fine sand about 5 inches thick. Typically the surface layer of Smyrna soil consists of black fine sand about 2 inches thick. During most years undrained areas of this soil unit are ponded for 6 to 9 months. The permeability of Basinger soil is rapid. The permeability of Smyrna soil is rapid in the surface and subsurface, moderate or moderately rapid in the subsoil, and rapid in the substratum. Myakka and EauGallie fine sands (#20) are nearly level, poorly drained soils found on broad plains on the flatwoods. Typically the surface layer of Myakka soil consists of black fine sand about 5 inches thick. The surface layer of EauGallie soil typically consists of dark gray fine sand about 5 inches thick. During most years the seasonal high table for this soil type is within 12 inches of the surface for 1 to 4 months. The permeability of Myakka soil is rapid in the surface and subsurface layers and in the substratum and moderate or moderately rapid in the subsoil. The permeability of EauGallie soil is rapid in the surface and subsurface layers, moderate or moderately rapid in the sandy part of the subsoil and moderately slow in the loamy part of the subsoil. Pomello fine sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes (#27) is a nearly level to gently sloping, moderately well drained soils found on low ridges and knolls on the flatwoods. Typically the surface layer of this soil type is light gray fine sand about 2 inches thick. In most years, the seasonal high water table for this soil type is at a depth of 36 to 60 inches for 1 to 4 months. The permeability of this soil type is very rapid in the surface and subsurface layers, moderately rapid in the subsoil, and rapid in the substratum. Christopher E. Dorworth State Road 434 Subdivision Site - Seminole County, FL (BTC File #579-04.05) Environmental Assessment Page 3 of 11 The Florida Association of Environmental Soil Scientists (FAESS) considers the Basinger, Samsula and Hontoon soils, depressional (#10) and Basinger and Smyrna fine sands, depressional (#11) soil types associated with the property to be a hydric soil. Furthermore, the FAESS considers inclusions present in the Myakka and EauGallie fine sands (#20) soil type associated with the property to be hydric. This information can be found in the Hydric Soils of Florida Handbook, Third Edition, March 2000. LAND USE TYPES/VEGETATIVE COMMUNITIES The State Road 434 Subdivision Site currently supports five (5) land use types/vegetative communities within its boundaries. These land use types/vegetative communities were identified utilizing the Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System, Level III (FLUCFCS, FDOT, January 2004) (Figure 5). The upland land use types/vegetative communities on the site are classified as Hardwood-Conifer Mixed (434), Disturbed Land (740) and Communication Facility (822).

This area has a perimeter chain-link fence with a rock and gravel groundcover without any vegetative species present inside its boundary. Wetlands/Surface Waters: 530 Reservoirs Located within the northern portion of the site is an excavated pond that is best classified as Reservoirs (530), per the FLUCFCS. Vegetation observed within this land use/community type includes common buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), marsh pennywort (Hydrocotyle umbellata), sedges (Carex and Cyperus spp.), torpedograss (Panicum repens) and duckweed (Lemna spp.). 630 Wetland Forested Mixed The majority of the northern portion of the site and a connected area within the southwestern portion of the site is a forested wetland system that is best classified as Wetland Forested Mixed (630), per the FLUCFCS. This forested wetland system extends off-site to the north, northeast and northwest and is hydrologically connected to Lake Jessup. Vegetation observed within this community type includes slash pine (Pinus elliottii), pond pine (Pinus serotina), laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), water oak (Quercus nigra), red maple (Acer rubrum), Carolina willow (Salix caroliniana), sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), Christopher E. Dorworth State Road 434 Subdivision Site - Seminole County, FL (BTC File #579-04.05) Environmental Assessment Page 5 of 11 cypress (Taxodium distichum), loblolly bay (Gordonia lasianthus), cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto), common buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), saltbush (Baccharis halimifolia), needle palm (Rhapidophyllum hystrix), Peruvian primrosewillow (Ludwigia peruviana), yellow- eyed grass (Xyris spp.), tuberous sword fern (Nephrolepis cordifolia), caesarweed (Urena lobata), marsh pennywort (Hydrocotyle umbellata), maidencane (Panicum hemitomon), wild taro (Colocasia esculenta), green arum (Peltandra virginica), Virginia chain fern (Pteridium aquilinum), cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea), royal fern (Osmunda regalis), wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), caesarweed (Urena lobata) and sedges (Carex and Cyperus spp.). On-site wetlands and surface waters have been delineated by BTC utilizing pink flagging tape (Figure 6). The limits of any on-site wetlands/surface waters can only be determined and verified through field delineation and/or on-site review by the pertinent regulatory agencies. PROTECTED SPECIES Using methodologies outlined in the Florida’s Fragile Wildlife (Wood, 2001); Measuring and Monitoring Biological Diversity Standard Methods for Mammals (Wilson, et al., 1996); Wildlife Methodology Guidelines (1988); and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FFWCC’s) Gopher Tortoise Permitting Guidelines (revised April 2013); an assessment for “listed” floral and faunal species was conducted at the site on November 3, 2014. This assessment included both direct observations and indirect evidence, such as tracks, burrows, tree markings and vocalizations that indicated the presence of species observed. The assessment focused on species that are “listed” by the FFWCC’s Official Lists - Florida’s Endangered Species, Threatened Species and Species of Special Concern (January 2013) that have the potential to occur in Seminole County (see attached Table 1). Two (2) plant species were identified that are listed as “commercially exploited” by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). The harvesting of these species, cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea) and royal fern (Osmunda regalis), for commercial gain, is not permitted. The listing of these species poses no restrictions towards the development of the subject property. The following is a list of those wildlife species identified during the evaluation of the site: Reptiles and Amphibians brown anole (Norops sagrei) eastern black racer (Coluber constrictor) Florida leopard frog (Lithobates sphenocephalus sphenocephalus) green anole (Anolis carolinensis) green tree frog (Hyla cinerea) Christopher E. Dorworth State Road 434 Subdivision Site - Seminole County, FL (BTC File #579-04.05) Environmental Assessment Page 6 of 11 Birds American Crow (Corvus caurinus) Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus) Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) Mammals eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) common raccoon (Procyon lotor) marsh rabbit (Sylvilagus palustris) nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) Virginia possum (Didelphis virginiana) One (1) of the above identified species is listed in the FFWCC’s Official Lists - Florida’s Endangered Species, Threatened Species and Species of Special Concern (January 2013). This species is the Osprey (Pandion haliaetus). The Osprey is currently listed as “Species of Special Concern” by the State. The following provides a brief description of this species as it relates to development of the property. Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) State Listed as “Species of Special Concern” (Monroe County only) Located on top of the communication tower is an Osprey nest. The Osprey is federally protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703- 712) and state protected by Chapter 68A of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). Pursuant to the federal act, it is unlawful to take, possess, buy, sell, purchase, or barter any migratory bird, including feathers or other parts, nests, eggs, or products, except as allowed by implementing regulations. Although both active and inactive osprey nests are protected Federally, only active nests require Federal permits for taking. The specific state regulation protecting Ospreys is rule 68A-4.001, F.A.C., which prohibits the taking or transporting of "...wildlife...or their nests, eggs, young, homes, or dens.” Ospreys and their nests in Monroe County are provided even further protection by virtue of that population being listed as a "species of special concern" (rule 68A-27.005 F.A.C.), thereby protected by rule 68A- 27.002, F.A.C. Exceptions to these regulations are provided in rule 68A-9.002, F.A.C., which allows the FFWCC to issue permits authorizing the taking or possession of wildlife or their nests for management or other "justifiable purposes." Christopher E. Dorworth State Road 434 Subdivision Site - Seminole County, FL (BTC File #579-04.05) Environmental Assessment Page 7 of 11 Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) State protected by F.A.C. 68A-16.002 and federally protected by both the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (1918) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (1940) In August of 2007, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) removed the Bald Eagle from the list of federally endangered and threatened species. Additionally, the Bald Eagle was removed from FFWCC’s imperiled species list in April of 2008. Although the Bald Eagle is no longer protected under the Endangered Species Act, it is still protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and FFWCC’s Bald Eagle rule (Florida Administrative Code 68A-16.002 Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leuchocephalus). In May of 2007, the USFWS issued the National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines. In April of 2008, the FFWCC adopted a new Bald Eagle Management Plan that was written to closely follow the federal guidelines. Under FFWCC’s new management plans, buffer zones are recommended based on the nature and magnitude of the project or activity. The recommended protective buffer zone is 660-feet or less from the nest tree, depending on what activities or structures are already near the nest. A FFWCC Eagle permit is not needed for any activity occurring outside of the 660-foot buffer zone. No activities are permitted within 330-feet of a nest during the nesting season, October 1 through May 15 or when Eagles are present at the nest. In addition to the preliminary on-site review for “listed” species, BTC conducted a review for any FFWCC recorded Bald Eagle nests on or in the vicinity of the subject property (see attached). This review revealed six (6) recorded Bald Eagle nests site within one (1.0) mile of the subject property. FFWCC Bald Eagle nest #SE-031 is located approximately 1,630-feet to the west and was last surveyed in 2011 and last known active in 2002. FFWCC Bald Eagle nest #SE-004 is located approximately 2,630-feet to the southwest and was last surveyed in 2011 and last known active in 2011. FFWCC Bald Eagle nest #SE-045 is located approximately 3,155- feet to the north and was last surveyed in 2011 and last known active in 2011. FFWCC Bald Eagle nest #SE-091 is located approximately 3,540-feet to the southwest and was last surveyed in 2013 and last known active in 2013. FFWCC Bald Eagle nest #SE-066 is located approximately 3,550-feet to the northwest and was last surveyed in 2011 and last known active in 2011. FFWCC Bald Eagle nest #SE-018 is located approximately 4,510-feet to the northeast and was last surveyed in 2011 and last known active in 2011. All of these nests, at their current locations as provided by FFWCC, are outside the 660-foot Eagle Protection Zone and should not constrain development of the site. Christopher E. Dorworth State Road 434 Subdivision Site - Seminole County, FL (BTC File #579-04.05) Environmental Assessment Page 8 of 11 USFWS Consultation Areas The USFWS has established “consultation areas” for certain listed species. Generally, these consultation areas only become an issue if USFWS consultation is required, which is usually associated with permitting through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE). The reader should be aware that species presence and need for additional review are often determined to be unnecessary early in the permit review process due to lack of appropriate habitat or other conditions. However, the USFWS makes the final determination. Consultation areas are typically very regional in size, often spanning multiple counties where the species in question is known to exist. Consultation areas by themselves do not indicate the presence of a listed species. They only indicate an area where there is a potential for a listed species to occur and that additional review might be necessary to confirm or rule-out the presence of the species. The additional review typically includes the application of species- specific criteria to rule-out or confirm the presence of the species in question. Such criteria might consist of a simple review for critical habitat types. In other cases, the review might include the need for species-specific surveys using established methodologies that have been approved by the USFWS. The State Road 434 Subdivision Site is located within four (4) USFWS Consultation Areas which include the Audubon’s Crested Caracara (Polyborus plancus audubonii), Everglade Snail Kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis plumbeus), Florida Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) and the Wood Stork (Mycteria americana). The following provides a brief description of the respective species, its habitat and the potential for additional review: Audubon’s Crested Caracara (Polyborus plancus audubonii) Federally Listed as “Threatened” The subject site falls within the USFWS Consultation Areas for the species, Audubon’s Crested Caracara (Polyborus planeus audubonii). Currently the Crested Caracara is listed as “Threatened” by the USFWS due primarily to habitat loss. The Audubon’s Crested Caracara is a large species of raptor that can reach a body length of 19.7-25.2 inches (50-64 centimeters). The Audubon’s Crested Caracara has a dark brown-black belly, wings, back, and crown; and a white lower belly, head, and throat. They also have a bluish-gray to light bluish dark yellow to white bill, red cere (facial skin), and a white tail with dark crossbars. The Audubon’s Crested Caracara is a resident of the prairies and range lands of south-central Florida. The Crested Caracara commonly occurs in dry or wet prairie areas with scattered cabbage plams, lightly wooded areas with saw palmetto, scrub oaks and cypress. The Caracara also uses improved or semi-improved pasture with seasonal wetlands. This species is most abundant in a six-county area north and west of Lake Okeechobee (DeSoto, Glades, Hendry, Highlands, Okeechobee and Osceola counties). Crested Caracaras construct new nests each nesting season, often in the same tree as the previous year. Christopher E. Dorworth State Road 434 Subdivision Site - Seminole County, FL (BTC File #579-04.05) Environmental Assessment Page 9 of 11 Although the subject site falls within the USFWS Audubon’s Crested Caracara consultation area, no Crested Caracaras were observed and little suitable habitat for this species exists within the project boundaries. No further action should be required pertaining to the Crested Caracara. Everglade Snail Kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis plumbeus) Federally Listed as “Endangered” The subject site falls within the USFWS Consultation Area for the Snail Kite. Currently the Snail Kite is listed as “Endangered” by the USFWS. Snail Kites are similar in size to Red- shouldered Hawks. All Snail Kites have deep red eyes and a white rump patch. Males are slate gray, and females and juveniles vary in amounts of white, light brown, and dark brown, but the females always have white on their chin. Kites vocalize mainly during courtship and nesting. They may occur in nearly all of the wetlands of central and southern Florida. They regularly occur in lake shallows along the shores and islands of many major lakes, including Lakes Okeechobee, Kissimmee, Tohopekaliga (Toho) and East Toho. They also regularly occur in the expansive marshes of southern Florida such as Water Conservation Areas 1, 2, and 3, Everglades National Park, the upper St. John’s River marshes and Grassy Waters Preserve. No Snail Kites were observed within the subject site during the wildlife survey conducted by BTC. There is minimal suitable habitat for this species within the project boundaries. No further action should be required pertaining to the Snail Kite. Florida Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) Federally Listed as “Threatened” The subject site falls within the USFWS Consultation Area for the Florida Scrub-Jay. Currently the Florida Scrub-Jay is listed as “Threatened” by the USFWS. Florida Scrub Jays are largely restricted to scattered, often small and isolated patches of sand pine scrub, xeric oak, scrubby flatwoods, and scrubby coastal stands in peninsular Florida (Woolfenden 1978a, Fitzpatrick et al. 1991). They avoid wetlands and forests, including canopied sand pine stands. Optimal Scrub- Jay habitat is dominated by shrubby scrub, live oaks, myrtle oaks, or scrub oaks from 1 to 3 m (3 to 10 ft.) tall, covering 50 to 90% the area; bare ground or sparse vegetation less than 15 cm (6 in) tall covering 10 to 50% of the area; and scattered trees with no more than 20% canopy cover (Fitzpatrick et al. 1991). An informal Scrub-Jay survey was conducted utilizing a “call tape” and no Florida Scrub-Jays were observed within the subject site during the wildlife survey. There is no suitable habitat for this species within the project boundaries. No further action should be required pertaining to the Florida Scrub-Jay. Christopher E. Dorworth State Road 434 Subdivision Site - Seminole County, FL (BTC File #579-04.05) Environmental Assessment Page 10 of 11 Wood Stork (Mycteria americana) Federally Listed as “Endangered” The subject site is shown to be located within a Wood Stork Nesting Colony Core Foraging Area. Wood Storks typically nest colonially in medium to tall trees that occur in stands located either in swamps or on islands surrounded by relatively broad expanses of open water (Ogden 1991; Rodgers et al. 1996). The Wood Stork (Mycteria americana) is listed as “Endangered” by the USFWS. Wood storks are large, long-legged wading birds, about 45 inches tall, with a wingspan of 60 to 65 inches. Their plumage is white except for black primaries and secondaries and a short black tail. The head and neck are largely unfeathered and dark gray in color. The bill is black, thick at the base, and slightly decurved. Wood Storks are birds of freshwater and estuarine wetlands, primarily nesting in cypress or mangrove swamps. Successful breeding sites are those that have limited human disturbance and low exposure to land based predators. Because of their specialized feeding behavior, Wood Storks forage most effectively in shallow-water areas with highly concentrated prey. Typical foraging sites for the Wood Stork include freshwater marshes, depressions in cypress heads, swamp sloughs, managed impoundments, stock ponds, shallow-seasonally flooded roadside or agricultural ditches and narrow tidal creeks or shallow tidal pools. Good foraging conditions are characterized by water that is relatively calm, open, and having water depths between 5 and 15 inches (5 and 38 cm). The USFWS has identified core foraging area (CFA) around all known Wood Stork nesting colonies that is important for reproductive success. In Central Florida, CFAs include suitable foraging habitat (SFH) within a 15-mile radius of the nest colony; CFAs in North Florida include SFH within a 13-mile radius of a colony. The USFWS believes loss of suitable foraging wetlands within these CFAs may reduce foraging opportunities for the Wood Stork. Based on our review of available databases, there is no record of a Wood Stork rookery on the project site or within close proximity. The USFWS and the USACOE require that any impacts to on-site ditches and/or wetlands, which would eliminate a portion of the Wood Stork foraging habitat, be either mitigated through the purchase of mitigation credits or recreated elsewhere on- site so that there would be no net loss of Wood Stork foraging habitat. No Wood Storks were observed within the subject site during the wildlife survey conducted by BTC; however, mitigation for Wood Stork habitat may be required if ditches or wetlands are impacted.

The proposed residential development comprises fifty-one (51) single family units. The study included a determination of project trip generation, review of existing and projected roadway and intersection capacity and a review of turn lane treatments. The results of the traffic analysis are summarized as follows:  The proposed development will generate 565 daily trips of which 57 trips will occur during the PM peak hour.  An analysis of roadway segment capacity indicates that the SR 434 between SR 417 and SR 426/CR 419 is currently deficient and will continue to be deficient at project buildout. This section of SR 434, which travels through the City of Oviedo, is backlogged and has been constrained as a 2-lane facility. It was noted that the project will consume less than 2% of the capacity and will not significantly impact volumes or operations.  An analysis of the project driveway on SR 434 indicates that the access should be provide two egress lanes (left turn lane and right turn lane) to operate efficiently and with minimized delay.  An exclusive eastbound left turn deceleration lane of 235 feet is warranted on SR 434 at the project driveway.

The proposed residential development comprises fifty-one (51) single family units. Figure 1 depicts the site location and the surrounding transportation network. Access to the site will be provided via a full access driveway connection onto SR 434. A proposed site plan is included in Appendix A. The analysis was conducted based on typical Seminole County Traffic Analysis requirements. There are no major intersections within 0.25 miles of the project access driveway onto SR 434. The study facilities considered in the analysis are: Study Intersection  SR 434 and Site Access Driveway Study Segments  SR 434 o S3470: Tuskawilla Road to SR 417 o S3475: SR 417 to DeLeon Avenue o S3480: DeLeon Avenue to SR 426/CR 419 Project Site 434 Figure: Project:Project No.: Figure: 1507 S.

The analysis included a review of existing roadway segment capacity and an analysis of the intersection operations at the study intersection. 2.1 Segment Analysis Existing roadway conditions were analyzed by comparing the existing traffic volumes on the roadway segments within a 1-mile study area to the service volumes at the adopted Level of Service (LOS) standard for the roadway segments as documented in the Seminole County Roadway Concurrency Information dated September 3rd, 2014 (see Appendix B). The daily roadway segment analysis is summarized in Table 1. The analysis indicates that the study segments along SR 434 between SR 417 and SR 426/CR 419 are currently deficient. This backlogged section of SR 434 travels through the City of Oviedo and has been constrained as a 2-lane facility.

Table 2 summarizes the resulting trip generation calculation. The ITE information sheets are included in Appendix C. Table 2 Trip Generation Analysis The calculation above reveals that the proposed development will generate 565 daily trips of which 57 trips will occur during the PM peak hour. 3.2 Trip Distribution/Assignment To assign the project trips, a distribution scenario was developed based on travel and development patterns in the vicinity of the site.

The total projected traffic volumes consist of existing traffic combined with committed trips and trips generated by the proposed development. 4.1 Segment Analysis Roadway segment analyses were conducted for the study roadway segments using the total projected daily traffic volumes. Projected roadway conditions were analyzed by comparing the total projected traffic volumes on the study segments to their respective service volumes at the adopted LOS standard. The projected daily analyses are summarized in Table 3. Table 3 Projected Roadway Capacity Analysis The analysis indicates that the study segments along SR 434 between SR 417 and SR 426/CR 419 will continue to be deficient. As noted previously, this section of SR 434 is backlogged and constrained as a 2-lane facility. The project will consume less than 2% of the capacity and will not significantly impact volumes or operations.

Projected peak hour volumes were determined by adding committed and project trips to existing intersection volumes. Committed daily trips provided by Seminole County were converted to the PM peak hour using the adopted K=0.096 and D=0.51 factors. The projected PM peak hour turning movement volumes are illustrated in Figure 2. The results of the analysis, summarized in Table 4, indicate that the southbound exiting left turn will experience delay due to the traffic on SR 434. In order to minimize delay and provide for efficient operations at the project access point, it is recommended that the driveway is constructed with two egress lanes, one dedicated for left turns and one for right turns. With the recommended driveway and roadway geometry, the project driveway will operate adequately within its capacity. The detailed analysis worksheet is included in Appendix D.

As shown below, the projected volumes exceed the NCHRP 457 left turn warrant thresholds and therefore, an eastbound left turn lane is warranted. The warrant analysis form is provided in Appendix E. The total required storage length of an exclusive left turn lane is calculated as the sum of the queue storage and the deceleration distance. The minimum deceleration distance is based on Index 301 of the FDOT Design Standards for an operating speed of 45 mph. The queue storage area is calculated using the FDOT Plans Preparation Manual, Section 7.4.7 queue formula. The required turn lane dimension is as follows: Total Require Length = Deceleration Length + Storage Deceleration @ 45 mph = 185 feet (including 50 foot taper) Queue = 2 x 25 x Vol / 60 = 5/6 x 23 vph = 19 feet => use 50 feet (2 car length min.) Total Require Length = 185 + 50 = 235 feet SR 434 Subdivision Project № 14-102 Page 9 6.0 STUDY CONCLUSIONS This traffic analysis was conducted to assess the impact of the proposed SR 434 Subdivision development located on the north side of SR 434 east of Palm Drive in Seminole County, Florida. The proposed residential development comprises fifty-one (51) single family units. The study included a determination of project trip generation, review of existing and projected roadway and intersection capacity and a review of turn lane treatments. The results of the traffic analysis are summarized as follows:  The proposed development will generate 565 daily trips of which 57 trips will occur during the PM peak hour.  An analysis of roadway segment capacity indicates that the SR 434 between SR 417 and SR 426/CR 419 is currently deficient and will continue to be deficient at project buildout. This section of SR 434, which travels through the City of Oviedo, is backlogged and has been constrained as a 2-lane facility. It was noted that the project will consume less than 2% of the capacity and will not significantly impact volumes or operations.  An analysis of the project driveway on SR 434 indicates that the access should be provide two egress lanes (left turn lane and right turn lane) to operate efficiently and with minimized delay.  An exclusive eastbound left turn deceleration lane of 235 feet is warranted on SR 434 at the project driveway.
