REQUEST:
Community Development Department is advising the City Commission of the status of
various current planning projects.
SYNOPSIS:
The projects listed below are those with some consistent activity, although not every project
has additional activity for every update report. Items listed below that have changed since
the last update are shown in bold type. Items which have not and do not appear likely to
generate any change are periodically dropped from this agenda item with prior notice to the
City Commission.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Bart Phillips/ 419 Auto & Metal This project remains on hold pending the outcome of
–
the CSX railroad crossing and the trail right-of-way swap Construction of the wall

along SR 419, east of Wade Street is underway with inspections on-going.
Cross Seminole TrailThe Cross Seminole Trail has a missing link from Layer
-
Elementary to the west end of Old Sanford/Oviedo Road. In order for the State to
convey the adjacent trail right of way to the City, the City is offering an
equivalent area of unimproved right of way near Old Sanford Oviedo Road. This
unimproved right of way will be used as a portion of the property needed to complete
the Cross Seminole Trail missing link. Additional property along SR 419 and Layer
Elementary is being donated by Bart Phillips to complete this section of the trail
corridor that is needed. Mr. Phillips is also receiving a small piece of right of way
Informational 100 PAGE 1 OF 10 - May 13, 2013
from the State that will no longer be needed once this alignment is finalized. This
approval allows for a land swap to be completed with the State to allow for the
construction of the Magnolia Park Amphitheater. Staff requested the trail width be
increased from 12’ to 14’ to be consistent with the rest of the trail in the City. The
construction of the Magnolia Park Amphitheater is on hold until the City receives a
warranty deed from the State conveying to the City approximately 0.44 acres of
adjacent trail right of way to the City. This adjacent trail right of way is needed
because the amphitheater building encroaches into the State's trail right of way. This
encroachment will allow maximum utilization of this facility given the constraints of
the site. Additional updates will be made available as information is forthcoming.
Dittmer Property –
Staff is in preliminary discussions with the engineer relative to a
potential new proposal for this property. Staff has not received any plans as of November
29, 2012. On January 3, 2013, staff met with a potential developer of the property. Staff has
been working with an applicant to solidify an acceptable layout for the property which
meets the City’s land use requirements. The project engineer has indicated that the
preliminary site plan should be submitted by March 8, 2013. As of March 14, 2013 staff has
not received a preliminary site plan for this project.On March 27, 2013, a Preliminary
Subdivision Plan and PUD Master Plan amendment were submitted for staff review. On
April 9, 2013 a Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting was held with the
applicant to discuss the comments that were generated by staff for the first review of this

May 1, 2013 meeting. The PUD master plan and preliminary subdivision plan will be
presented for the Commission's consideration at their May 13, 2013 meeting.
Grandeville at Town Center (f/k/a Villa Grande)This project is proposed as a 244
–
unit, 4-story apartment complex located adjacent to City Hall at the northwest corner
of the intersection of Doran Drive and SR 434. The subject property is 4.78 acres in
size and is located in the T5 zone (Urban Center Zone) of the Town Center. The
proposed apartment complex is designed as a “Texas Donut.” This is a popular design
concept that is utilized in urban areas such as the Winter Springs Town Center that
incorporates structured parking into a high density, urban setting without exposing
the parking structure to public view. In the “Texas Donut” design configuration,
apartment units are constructed around the parking garage and the amenities, so each
are internal to the development and are not visible from the surrounding areas. The
main frontages of the building will be oriented toward State Road 434, and Doran
Drive. The building will have a setback of zero feet along State Road 434 and Doran
Drive. A zero foot setback is encouraged in the T5 zone of the Town Center and is
reflective of historic downtown layouts. With this building constructed to the right-of-
way line, it will help transform this portion of State Road 434 into the urban
boulevard that was envisioned in the Town Center master plan. The proposed project
represents completion of a major portion of the Town Center core. Staff recently
issued a zoning verification letter to the applicant's attorney. This purpose of this
letter is to help assist in the financing of the construction of this project.
Hayes Road Plaza –
Staff was informed that financing had been obtained for the site. A
building permit was applied for and has been ready for issuance since January 25, 2011. No
work has been pursued on this property. The contractor has contacted the building
department to inquire about the fees associated with the building permit. City staff is
working with the owner and contractor to finalize a schedule for moving forward when
financing is secured which, according to the owner, is imminent.The building permit has
Informational 100 PAGE 2 OF 10 - May 13, 2013
expired and Staff is awaiting the submittal of a new permit request once financing is
secured. Staff met with the owner and his banker and contractor. They are moving forward
with revisions to the building plans in anticipation of making submittal for a new building
permit prior to March 15, 2012, which is the effective date for the newest revision to the
Florida Building Code.The owner submitted building plans on March 1, 2012 for final
approval. Because of the length of time this project has been proposed and even with the
building department’s best efforts to move the project forward with new reviews and even
issuing a slab permit, the Conditional Use approval for the convenience store and the
aesthetic review approval for the building have both expired. Staff has scheduled Public
Hearings for re-consideration of both items before the Planning & Zoning Board on April 4,
2012, and the City Commission on April 23, 2012.The City Commission unanimously
approved both items (Conditional Use and Aesthetic Review) at the April 23, 2012 meeting.
A pre-construction meeting was held with the applicant and contractor on May 21, 2012. At
this meeting, the contractor indicated they intend to begin construction within the next week
to two week with construction being complete within six to eight months. The first review
of the building plans is complete and staff is awaiting the applicant’s response to
comments. The applicant is inquiring about temporary electrical power for construction
purposes but no building permit has been issued to date. The applicant has supplied a
.
response to the first comments and that response is currently under review by staffThe
contractor has indicated that they will be mobilizing for site work prior to September 21,
2012. Staff is scheduled to meet with the contractor on site on September 19, 2012. The site
work has commenced. Vertical construction is anticipated to commence soon. Staff is
working with the applicant on an MOU relative to uses in the facility. The applicant’s
response to the second round of comments is expected soon. Staff is working with a new
contractor to finalize several changes to the architectural plans. Efforts are underway to re-
initiate site construction on the property. Architectural plans are under review. The
applicant has submitted a building permit for a construction trailer that is proposed to be
located on the construction site.The building permit for the construction trailer has been
approved by City staff.The Building Official has approved the placement of this trailer.
The applicant is working with the FDOT, Florida Public Utilities, and Progress Energy
(Duke Energy) to renew expired permits for work in the right-of-way, to relocate power
poles, and to get the status of an existing gas line located in the area of the retention pond.
Soil from the pond excavation will be used to grade the remainder of the site. The revised
building plans have been submitted for review.Initial site work on this project continues.
Site work is ongoing. The building permit will be issued upon resolution of the final
remaining Seminole County Fire Department comments.
Jesup’s Landing – Upon completion, this project will consist of 171 townhome in 30
buildings units on 17 acres of land located on the south side of Orange Avenue, behind
Winter Springs High School. The subject property is located in the T4 transect
(General Urban Zone) of the Town Center. As of May 3, 2013 five (5) buildings are in
various stages of construction representing approximately 30 units..

buildings.
Magnolia Park – The construction of the Magnolia Park Amphitheater is on hold
until the City receives a warranty deed from the State conveying to the City
approximately 0.44 acres of adjacent trail right of way to the City. This adjacent trail
right of way is needed because the amphitheater building encroaches into the State's
trail right of way. This encroachment will allow maximum utilization of this facility
given the constraints of the site. Additional updates will be made available as
information is forthcoming.

Potential projects under discussion with staff –
The following are items that have been
discussed with staff but are not formal applications for development at this time. Staff will
continue to advise the Commission on the status of the discussions:
Staff has met with a potential developer of the former Artesian Park site. This
was a project that received approval prior to the economic downturn, but was
never developed due to market conditions. It is located adjacent to Jesup’s
Landing on Orange Avenue, behind Winter Springs High School. The prior
plans that were submitted proposed the development of approximately 103
townhome units in a live-work concept. The new developer is proposing
development of the townhomes with the same architectural style, but without
the live-work concept as it is not conducive to current market conditions.
