TITLE
Seminole Crossings (Winter Springs)Town Homes - Plat
SUMMARY
The applicant DFH Land, LLC (Dream Finders Homes) is proposing a 114-unit
townhome subdivision in the Town Center. The 8.00 acre parcel is located at the
northeast corner of Michael Blake Boulevard and Tree Swallow Drive. 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 located in
the T5 Transect of the Town Center, which includes single-family attached units
(townhomes) as a permitted use.The Final Engineering plans were approved by the
City Commission at the December 9, 2019 City Commission meeting.
Land Use & Zoning:
Zoning: Town Center(T-C) -T5 Transect- Urban Center Zone
Future Land Use: Town Center District
Applicable Regulations:
Chapter 177, Florida Statutes
Chapter 197, Florida Statutes
Chapter 9, City Code
Chapter 20, City Code
The subject property is within Town Center I T5 Transect I Urban Center Zone, the
Future Land Use designation is the Town Center District, and townhomes, single family
attached are an outright permitted use within this District. The core of the Town
Center consists of a higher intensity of mixed uses such as retail, offices, and
residential.
Approval of a final subdivision plat is regulated by Chapter 9 of the City Code (various
sections)and Chapter 177, Florida Statutes. Chapter 177, Florida Statutes require that
the plat be fully executed by the owner(s) of record, by all mortgagees having an
interest in the land to be subdivided, by the professional surveyor and mapper of
record, and by the independent professional surveyor and mapper who reviews the
26
plat for consistency with Chapter 177, Florida Statutes. City Staff, including the City's
independent surveyor, Southeastern Surveying and Mapping Corporation, have
reviewed and approved the plat.
Pursuant to 20-33.1 of the City Code,
All site and final engineering plan and subdivision recommendations and final
decisions shall be based on whether the site and final engineering plan and
subdivision of land complies with all the technical requirements set forth in chapter 9
of the City Code and the following criteria to the extent applicable:
(1) Whether the applicant has demonstrated the site and final engineering plan
and subdivision of land, including its proposed density, height, scale and intensity,
hours of operation, building and lighting design, setbacks, buffers, noise, refuse, odor,
particulates, smoke, fumes and other emissions, parking and traffic-generating
characteristics, number of persons anticipated using, residing or working under the
plan, and other off-site impacts, is compatible and harmonious with adjacent land
uses, and will not adversely impact land use activities in the immediate vicinity.
The proposed density, height, scale and intensity of the development as depicted in
the Final Engineering Plans are consistent with the requirements of the T5 Transect of
the Town Center Code. Setbacks have been met, except where a waiver has been
requested. Impacts related to noise, refuse, odor, particulates, smoke, fumes and
other emissions are anticipated to be negligible given the residential nature of the
project. Parking and transportation are addressed thoroughly below. Residential,
single-family attached units are permitted in the T5 Transect.
(2) Whether the applicant has demonstrated the size and shape of the site, the
proposed access and internal circulation, and the design enhancements to be
adequate to accommodate the proposed density, scale and intensity of the site and
final engineering plan requested. The site shall be of sufficient size to accommodate
design amenities such as screening, buffers, landscaping, open space, off-street
parking, safe and convenient automobile, bicycle, and pedestrian mobility at the site,
and other similar site plan improvements needed to mitigate against potential adverse
impacts of the proposed use.
The size and shape of the site, the proposed access and internal circulation, and the
design enhancements are adequate to accommodate the proposed development. The
development will be accessed from Tree Swallow Drive. The single access has been
reviewed by Seminole County Fire and has been approved. It is believed that
elimination of the second access that was originally included in the preliminary
engineering plans will eliminate conflicts with pedestrians and bicyclists utilizing the
Cross-Seminole Trail and further allows for the conveyance of open space to the City.
The existing and future Town Center street network provides multiple options for
residents to reach their desired destinations. The internal circulation plan consists of
public streets and private alleys for access to the individual townhome garages. The
Development Agreement provides for significant enhancements relating to
27
landscaping buffers, including planting of Crepe Myrtles and Elms along the Cross-
Seminole Trail.
(3) Whether the proposed site and final engineering plan and subdivision of land
will have an adverse impact on the local economy, including governmental fiscal
impact, employment, and property values.
Single-family residential attached housing is a permitted use in the T5 Transect of
the Town Center and is not expected to have an adverse impact on the local economy.
(4) Whether the proposed site and final engineering plan and subdivision of land
will have an adverse impact on the natural environment, including air, water, and
noise pollution,vegetation and wildlife, open space, noxious and desirable vegetation,
and flood hazards.
Open space is provided in the development via the central community open space
and the conveyance of the northwest corner of the property to the City. The applicant
contracted with Bio-Tech Consulting, Inc., to prepare an environmental assessment of
the site, including review of soil types mapped within the property boundaries,
evaluation of land use types/vegetative communities present, and field review for
occurrence of protected flora and fauna. The report concludes that the site is not
suitable for habitat for endangered or protected species and none were observed at
the site.
(5) Whether the proposed site and final engineering plan and subdivision of land
will have an adverse impact on historic, scenic, and cultural resources, including views
and vistas, and loss or degradation of cultural and historic resources.
It is not anticipated that the Final Engineering Plans will have an adverse impact on
any historic or cultural resources, including views and vistas.
(6) Whether the proposed site and final engineering plan and subdivision of land
will have an adverse impact on public services, including water, sewer, stormwater and
surface water management, police, fire, parks and recreation, streets, public
transportation, marina and waterways, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
See below for discussion regarding impact on public services.
(7) Whether the site and final engineering plan and subdivision of land, and
related traffic report and plan provided by the applicant, details safe and efficient
means of ingress and egress into and out of the neighborhood and adequately
addresses the impact of projected traffic on the immediate neighborhood, traffic
circulation pattern for the neighborhood, and traffic flow through immediate
intersections and arterials.
See under Criteria (2) regarding traffic circulation.
(8) Whether the proposed site and final engineering plan and subdivision of land
will have an adverse impact on housing and social conditions, including variety of
28
housing unit types and prices, and neighborhood quality.
The proposed development is not anticipated to have an adverse impact on housing
and social conditions.Attached single-family residential development is a permitted
use in the T5 Transect and is located adjacent to higher-density residential apartment
units.
(9) Whether the proposed site and final engineering plan and subdivision of land
avoids significant adverse odor, emission, noise, glare, and vibration impacts on
adjacent and surrounding lands regarding refuse collection, service delivery, parking
and loading, signs, lighting, and other sire elements.
It is not anticipated that the proposed residential development will emit odors,
glares, or vibrations that will adversely impact adjacent property.
(10) Whether the applicant has provided an acceptable security plan for the
proposed establishment to be located on the site and final engineering plan and
subdivision of land that addresses the safety and security needs of the establishment
and its users and employees and minimizes impacts on the neighborhood, if
applicable.
The residential development will include public access easements over all
sidewalks and will be located adjacent to the Cross-Seminole Trail, in keeping with the
Town Center.
(11) Whether the applicant has provided on the site and final engineering plan
and subdivision of land an acceptable plan for the mass delivery of merchandise for
new large footprint buildings (greater than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet)
including the hours of operation for delivery trucks to come into and exit the property
and surrounding neighborhood, if applicable.
Not applicable.
(12) Whether the applicant has demonstrated that the site and final engineering
plan and subdivision of land have been designed to incorporate mitigative techniques
and plans needed to prevent adverse impacts addressed in the criteria stated herein
or to adjacent and surrounding uses and properties.
The Final Engineering Plans, in conjunction with the Development Agreement,
address adverse impacts. Primarily, the Development Agreement and Plans include
enhanced trail tree landscaping along the northern boundary of the Project and
ensure the conveyance of open space to the City.
(13) Whether the applicant has agreed to execute a binding development
agreement required by city to incorporate the terms and conditions of approval
deemed necessary by the city commission including, but not limited to, any mitigative
techniques and plans required by City Code.
The applicant has agreed to the terms and conditions of the binding Development
29
