Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
his checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and
supplementation many pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user
to determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of
each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second
column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an
up-to-date volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted
in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code.
When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this
column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed on
the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used
in compiling an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent
Supplements.

The following guidelines shall be applied to determine the Tree Protection Zone:
1. Evaluate the species tolerance of the tree: good, moderate, or poor (See list on next page)
2. Identify tree age: young (<20% of the tree's life expectancy), mature (20% - 80% of the tree's life
expectancy), or overmature (>80% of the tree's life expectancy)
3. Using the table below, find the distance from the trunk that should be protected per inch of trunk
diameter.
4. Multiply the distance by the trunk diameter to calculate the optimum radius (in feet) for the tree
protection zone.
Example:
A healthy 60-year old, 30" diameter California black walnut (poor tolerance, mature age)
1.25' x 30" = 37.5' radius tree protection zone.
Distance from trunk feet (per
Species Tolerance Ree Age inch trunk diameter)
Good Young 0.5'
A4,9bre 0.75'
Overmature 1.ot
Moderate Young 0.75'
Mature loot
Overmature 1.25'
Poor Young 1.0,
Mature 1.25'
Overmature 1.5'

The city commission of the City of Winter
Springs hereby finds:
(1) The commencement or performance of work
for which a building permit is required
without such building permit being in
effect creates a grave threat to the public
health, safety, and welfare and jeopar-
dizes the safety of occupants of buildings.
(2) The performance of construction by con-
tractors who are not duly licensed, when a
contracting license is required, may pose
a danger of significant harm to the public
when incompetent or dishonest unlicensed
contractors provide unsafe, unstable, or
short-lived products or services.

hazards.nonwimminent
In cases involving nuisance or hazardous con-
ditions which require direct governmental action
to abate a serious and continuing danger to the
public or occupants, including attractive nuisance
cases, and where the property owner or tenant
faiIs to heed the notices and enforcement efforts
made by the city pursuant to Cbaoter 1-2. Article
I, but where the emergency nature of the dangers
to the public is not so extreme as to warrant
dispensing without notice to the property own-
er(s), then the city enforcement officials shall
proceed to:
(1) Give notice, which may be combined with
notice from the code enforcement board
statement of violation and notice of hear-
ing, which informs the property owner
that an order will be sought from the code
enforcement board for city work or con-
tracted work to repair or secure the prop-
erty. The notice will prominently inform
the property owner that failure to repair
the property or follow the code enforce-
ment board's orders may result in city
work which shall be charged as a lien
against the property. The notice will de-
scribe the conditions found by the enforce-
ment officer to constitute a hazard or
nuisance. The notice will generally inform
the property owner of the work or repairs
to be done which will correct the nuisance
or hazardous condition(s).
(2) If the owner still fails to cure the condi-
tions) by the time set for code enforce-
ment board hearing pursuant to the above -
detailed notice, then the enforcement officer
shall submit proof at the code enforce-
ment board hearing concerning the de-
gree of danger of the condition(s) to the

public and the property owner's inability
or unwillingness to cure such dangers,
thus necessitating public action to repair
or secure property. The code enforcement
board may render its order requiring the
city to perform such work as is necessary
to secure the property or to render it safe.
(3) The enforcement officer shall take such
action as has been authorized by the code
enforcement board to secure the property
or render it safe, including the letting of
contracts, pursuant to city purchasing re-
quirements, to repair or remove danger-
ous conditions and items. The costs and
expenses of such work shall be a lien upon
the property, which lien may be enforced
by suit at law or upon proceeding in
chancery.
(4) Liens for such city contracted work shall
be co -equal with all state, county and
municipal taxes and shall be superior in
dignity to all other liens, titles and claims
until paid.
(5) Nothing in this section shall be construed
to require city work to be one or to imply
a duty by the city to fix conditions which
are the legal responsibility of the owner(s)
of the property. This section is supplemen-
tary to city and code board authority to
order the property owner to remedy nui-
sance conditions.

ing the bill by the city. The written request shall,
at a minimum, show the basis of the adjustment,
including the actual or estimated average flow of
the water and sewer use in comparison to the
amount upon which the charge is based and
include a statement explaining the methods used
in calculating the measurements or estimates for
the appeal.
(b) The city manager or his designee shall
review the request and, if substantiated, the
monthly bill for that user shall be recomputed
based on the revised flow data and the new charge
shall be adjusted on the next bill. The decision of
the city manager may be appealed to the city
commission whose decision shall be final and
binding.

UTILITIES
and the applicant prior to the due date of
the current utility bill that was under
review by the city and will be included on
the utility bill for monthly service during
the installment period. The billing of the
installments will begin on the next imme-
diate bill for service. In no event will the
city allow the payment of the excessive
water use on an installment basis if the
applicant has not achieved a good pay-
ment history (no delinquent payments or
if applicant has had service discontinued
for nonpayment) during the past twelve
(12) months of service.
(3) To the extent that an applicant elects the
installment method of payment of the
unexplained excessive use charges, all of
the city's rules and regulations relative to
the billing and payment for service in
accordance with the city's rate ordinance
will apply, including the provision that
the applicant's utility service may discon-
tinued for the nonpayment of utility ser-
vice.
(4) If the applicant requests a verification of
the no test performed by the city by a
third party (e.g.meter manufacturer or
another utility), and the results of such
test are consistent with the results of the
city's flow test (whereby the results would
not result in a change of general accuracy
of the meter), the applicant will be respon-
sible for the actual cost of such tests. The
actual cost is the amount invoiced by the
third party to the city for the performance
of the additional flow test and will not
include any costs or markup for adminis-
tration by the city. If the test results
performed by the third party indicate that
the meter is not registering within the
accuracy limits in accordance with city
policy, the meter will be considered as
being inaccurate and the bill recalcula-
tion policy of the city will be performed.
(5) To the extent that the applicant does not
accept the results of the unexplained ex-
cessive use credit as determined by the
city under this policy, then the entire
amount as initially billed by the city for
Supp. No. 3 1245
utility service shall be due and payable in
accordance with the provisions of the rate
ordinance. The applicant shall have the
right to appeal the utility bill in accor-
dance with the provisions of the rate
ordinance. Any reductions in the amount
billed which may be due to the applicant
as a result of the appeal of utility bill will
be credited by the city in the next imme-
diate bill rendered to the applicant after
the appeal has been finalized.
(g) Limitations on adjustment eligibility and
other miscellaneous provisions:
(1) No unexplained excessive use credit to an
applicant's utility bill determined in ac-
cordance with this policy will be permit-
ted more than once a year or no more than
twice within ten (10) years. No unex-
plained excessive use credit will extend
beyond one (1) billing period.
(2) If an applicant accepts the unexplained
excessive use credit as determined by the
city and the credit is applied to the
applicant's monthly utility bill, the appli-
cant will waive the right to subsequently
appeal the said utility bill in accordance
with the provisions of the rate ordinance.

ments and stormwater management elements of
the city's comprehensive plan.
Stormwater management utility fee means a
non ad valorem assessment benefiting developed
property parcels.
(Ord. No. 521, § 21 7-27-92)
(a) A stormwater management utility fee (the
"fee"), is hereby created and imposed on all devel-
oped property within the city for services and
facilities provided by the stormwater manage-
ment system. The developed property owner is
Supp. No. 3 1258
responsible for payment of the fee. For the pur-
poses of imposing the fee, all developed property
within the city shall be classified either as:
(1) Residential developed property) or
(2) Nonresidential developed property.
(b) The city manager or his designee shall
obtain a list each year from the Seminole County
property appraiser of property within the city and
shall assign each parcel a classification of residen-
tial developed property or nonresidential devel-
oped property.
(Ord. No. 721, § 3, 7-27-92)
(a) The stormwater management utility fee
an be i'turee doiiars antwenty-nve cents k4)6,ZS)
per ERU, and shall be calculated for each devel-
oped property as follows:
(1) The fee for residential developed property
is the rate for one (1) ERU multiplied by
the number of dwelling units existing on
the property. That is, Fee = ERU x num-
ber of Dwelling Units.
(2) The fee for nonresidential property is the
rate for one (1) ERU multiplied by the
numerical factor. The numerical factor is
obtained by dividing the total impervious
area in square feet of the nonresidential
property by the square footage for one (1)
ERU as set forth in the rate resolution.
The resulting calculation is, Fee = ERU
rate x (parcel impervious area expressed
in square feet/the square footage for one
(1) ERU).
(b) The minimum fee for developed property,
whether residential or nonresidential, is equal to
the rate for one (1) ERU, subject to reduction as
set forth in subparagraph (c) below.
(c) Facility credit.
(1) In order to encourage the improvement of
the quality of stormwater runoff, a reduc-
tion in the stormwater management util-
ity fee is authorized for those developed
properties which have a stormwater man-
UTILITIES
agement facility designed and constructed
for the purpose of stormwater pollution
reduction.
(2) A reduction in the fee is allowed for a
particular developed property only if the
stormwater runoff from the property is
treated by a stormwater management fa-
cility that has been designed, constructed
and is maintained properly for the pur-
pose of stormwater pollution reduction. If
it is determined by the director that the
stormwater management facility has not
been, or is not currently being, properly
maintained as designed, the director may
disallow the on -site stormwater quality
management facility credit.
(3) For applicable properties as determined
by the director, the fee shall be reduced by
twenty-five (25) percent. The reduced fee
will, therefore, be calculated as the fee
pursuant to the rate resolution multiplied
by the factor of 0.75 (fee x 0.75).

enforcement.
(a) Statements for the stormwater manage-
ment utility fee shall be rendered monthly in
accordance with a monthly billing cycle adminis-
tered by the city for all properties subject to the
be. Only developed property shall be subject to
the fee.
(b) The stormwater management utility fee is
for services furnished to the developed property
and the fee therefore must be paid by the property
owner. If the property is tenant -occupied, the
property owner may request that the city bill the
tenant for such fee. Such instructions shall be in
writing. If the property is tenant -occupied and the
tenant is to be billed for such fee, any delinquent
be shall be charged against any utility deposit
then held by the city. If the tenant fails to pay the
be, the property owner shall remain liable for the
fee.
(c) Any fee remaining unpaid on a developed
property for ninety (90) days shall constitute a
lien in favor of the city against said property, and
Supp. No. 3 1059
§ ss
the city attorney is authorized and directed to
record a lien for such unpaid fee in the public
records of Seminole County, Florida. Such lien
shall be superior in dignity to any encumbrances
on the said property, whether occurring prior to or
subsequent to such lien being recorded, except for
tax liens, and may be foreclosed by the city as
provided by law.
(d) Statements for the stormwater manage-
ment utility fee shall be payable at the same time
anI in the same manner and subject to the same
penalties as they are otherwise set forth for other
utility fees administered by the city. The property
owner will be notified of any delinquency in the
payment of the stormwater management utility
fee in the same manner that delinquent water
and sewer bills are notified, and the failure to pay
such fee as is otherwise provided in the statement
shall subject the property to the discontinuance of
water and sewer services and shall subject the
owner of the developed property to all other
penalties and charges available under the law
relative to the discontinuance of such utility ser-
vices.
(e) The owner of developed property that is not

The regulations and requirements herein set
foAli have been made in accordance with a com-
prehensive plan, with reasonable consideration,
among other things, to the prevailing land uses,
growth characteristics and the character of the
respective districts and their peculiar suitability
for particular uses and to encourage the most
appropriate use of land throughout the city.
(Ord. No. 44, § 44.012 1-8-68)

excluded from the setback restrictions
(1) Steps and walks;
(2) Landscaping and landscape berms;
(3) Planters three (3) feet in height or less or
(4) Other improvements as may be permitted
under applicable regulations of the city.
The board of adjustment will consider any request
for the placement of such other improvements
within a setback, only after a design review board
review and recommendation. In determining
whether to recommend city consent, the design
review committee may consider, without limiting
the scope of their review, the following: (i) the
extent to which any hardship exists that would
justify a variance from the normal setback require-
ments; (ii) the aesthetics of the proposed improve-
ments and their visibility from common roads and
adjacent properties; (iii) the consent or objections
of adjacent property owners; and (iv) the nature
and use of the proposed improvements. It is the
owner's burden and responsibility to provide such
information and documentation as may be re-
quested by the design review board in order to
justify to the design review board that the intru-

meet the circumstances of the specific proposed
development„ Stash development s"eement shall
be reviewed and approved by the city commission.
The city commission may vary the standards of
this division, including building or perimeter set-
backs, parking standards, signage, and other stan-
dards. If an increase in building height beyond

sion must find that fire department capabilities
are adequate to address the change. Such consid-
eration shall be based on building site constraints
or physical characteristics of the property, pro-
vided specifically, however, that any such conces-
sions for a constrained site shall only be consid-
ered by the city commission in a development
agreement if enhanced perimeter landscaping or
buffering is provided to assure that the objectives
of this ordinance are achieved.
(Ord. No. 683, 11-10-97)
