DISCUSSION:
Overview*
Dream Finders Homes is proposing a 114 -unit townhome subdivision in the Town Center.
The 8 -acre parcel is located at the northeast corner of Michael Blake Boulevard and Tree
Swallow Drive (see Exhibit 1). The site is bordered on the north and east by the Cross -
Seminole Trail, on the west by Michael Blake Boulevard, and on the south by Tree Swallow
Drive. The property is in the T -5 transect of the Town Center, which includes single - family
attached units (townhomes) as a permitted use.
Site Background:
The 8 -acre site is part of a larger parcel of approximately 46 -acres that was previously
owned in its entirety by Winter Springs Holdings, Inc. (IBEW). Winter Springs Holdings
sold portions of the property to other entities, including Catalyst Development Partners,
who is currently building an apartment project on the west side of Michael Blake
Boulevard. The 8 -acre property is subject to a Developer's Agreement that includes the
following applicable provisions:
• After the Catalyst Apartment Project (currently under construction), no additional
apartment units are permitted anywhere on the 46 -acre property
• Parcels fronting SR 434 and Tuskawilla Road must be developed with a commercial
use
• The property is served by a master stormwater treatment facility that is currently
under construction as part of the Catalyst Apartment Project
Proposed Layout / Unit Type:
The proposed townhomes are all two - stories and are located in 20- buildings ranging in size
from 3 to 10 units per building. Please see Exhibit 2 for the Preliminary Engineering Plan
and Exhibit 3 for photos of existing townhomes that are similar to what Dream Finders is
proposing. The subdivision features a grid of public streets and private alleys, consistent
with the Town Center Code. Townhome units along the perimeter of the development will
front Tree Swallow Drive, Michael Blake Boulevard, and the Cross - Seminole Trail. The
internal buildings will all face public streets. All units have two -car garages accessed from
alleys at the back of the buildings.
Site Amenities:
The central area of the subdivision includes a pool, cabana, and green space / park area. A
main feature of the subdivision will be the immediate access to the Cross - Seminole Trail,
with the ability for residents to use the trail for access to nearby shopping, schools, parks,
and other community destinations.
Water and Sewer:
Water and sewer facilities are available to the site in Michael Blake Boulevard. A lift
Regular 500 PAGE 2 OF 4 - January 08, 2018
station is being built at the northwest corner of the property that will serve both the Catalyst
Apartment project and the proposed Dream Finders townhome subdivision. The City has
water and sewer plant capacity to serve the 114 -unit townhome development.
Transportation:
Winter Springs Townhomes will be accessed from both Michael Blake Boulevard and Tree
Swallow Drive. The existing and future Town Center street network provides multiple
options for residents to reach their desired destinations. At the SR 434 / Michael Blake
Boulevard intersection, a traffic signal will be constructed by the City when it meets the
applicable traffic warrants.
Stormwater*
Winter Springs Townhomes will be served by a master stormwater pond currently being
constructed as part of the Catalyst Apartments project. No additional onsite stormwater
treatment is required. Onsite stormwater collection and piping facilities will route
stormwater to the pond located on the east side of the Trail Bridge.
Parking:
All townhome units will have two -car garages. In addition, the subdivision will have
approximately 95 on- street parking spaces. The proposed overall parking ratio of
approximately 2.8 parking spaces per unit is consistent with other townhome projects in the
Town Center, but this will be verified by a more detailed parking analysis to be submitted
as part of the final engineering plans.
Reports:
The Final Engineering submittal is required to include the following reports (or updates of
previously prepared reports for the same property):
• Geotechnical Engineering
• Traffic Study
• Ecological Study (listed species)
• Water and Sewer Analysis
• Parking Analysis
• Stormwater Report
• Fiscal Analysis
In addition, the applicant is required to obtain a SCALD letter from SCPS verifying there is
adequate school capacity for the new students.
Open Staff Comments:
Exhibit 4 includes the open Staff comments on the Preliminary Engineering plans, and shall
be considered conditions of approval.
Preliminary Plan Approval:
Pursuant to Section 9 -49 of the City Code, the approval of a Preliminary Plan shall only be
construed only as authority for submitting a Final Plan.
Exhibit 4 lists the open staff comments that are to be addressed by the applicant as part of
the final engineering plans.
The Preliminary Engineering Plan is scheduled for review by the Planning & Zoning Board
at their January 3, 2018 meeting.
Regular 500 PAGE 3 OF 4 - January 08, 2018
FISCAL IMPACT:
Development of the subject property as a 114 -unit townhome project is anticipated to
provide an increase to the City's taxable value. The potential tax revenue of the proposed
subdivision at buildout is estimated to be $50,000 /year.
