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 Trail- The 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 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 Informational 100 PAGE 1 OF 12-August 12,2013 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 adj acent 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.

Grandeville at Town Center (f/k/a Villa Grande�— This proj ect is proposed as a 244 unit, 4- story apartment complex located adj acent 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 TS 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 TS 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. The developer and the architect are finalizing budget numbers to accommodate the recent increase in construction costs. Staff's latest conversation with the developer identified a submittal of final engineering during the last quarter of 2013. Informational 100 PAGE 2 OF 12-August 12,2013 HaVes 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 expired and Staff is awaiting the submittal of a new permit request once financing is secured. Staff inet 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 Apri14, 2012, and the City Commission on April 23, 2012. The City Commission unanimously approved both items (Conditional Use and Aesthetic Review) at the Apri123, 2012 meeting.
