In February, 1998 the City of Winter Springs created this plan through a design session involving the community and a team of design professionals. The session lasted seven days, with the first 2½ days devoted to interviews with community leaders and stakeholders concerning their visions for the Town Center. These participants included property owners, presidents of Homeowners Associations within the city, developers, the Mayor and City Commissioners, City staff, Seminole County staff, and representatives from the Tourist Development Council, the Economic Development Council and the Florida Department of Transportation.

PROJECT SITE PROJECT SITE Water Conservation •Onsite irrigation well provides irrigation to all common areas and each lot eliminating the need to use the City’s drinking water for irrigation. •Bahia sod will be used throughout the site. Bahia sod is a native grass that uses approximately 50% less water than Saint Augustine grass. •Xeriscape landscape design features slow-growing, drought- tolerant plants that conserve water and establish a waste-efficient landscape. •Using native, Florida-friendly plants that will thrive on the site creates a sustainable landscape that is environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing. •Unlike traditional irrigation controllers that operate on a preset program schedule and timers, smart irrigation controllers monitor weather, soil conditions, evaporation and plant water use to automatically adjust the watering schedule to actual conditions of the site.
