MGR / DEPT
Authorization
REQUEST: Utility/Public Works Department is Requesting Approval of Resolution 2006-27
Supporting An Upland Easement Request For Crossing State Lands
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to request approval of Resolution 2006-27
supporting the application for an Upland Easement Application to the State of
Florida Department of Environmental Protection Division of State Lands, Bureau of
Public Land Administration for Crossing State lands in developing the Winter
Springs Town Center Blumberg Trail
CONSIDERA TIONS:
The purpose of this easement application is to address the issue of deliver trucks
exiting the Town Center via Blumberg Boulevard. Presently, delivery trucks primarily to
Publix, cross the state lands on the unpaved area just east of Doran Drive. The current
design of the Blumberg Trail addresses this is by creating a brick paver median crossing
matching the existing brick paver area at Cliff Rose Drive and Blumberg Boulevard. Staff at
the Office of Greenways and Trails has endorsed the design including this median crossing
pending the approval of the easement application.
Including this median crossing in the plan allows for the exiting of the Phase Town
Center not only for delivery trucks but other vehicular traffic as well reducing the current
practice of motorists making left turns into oncoming traffic lanes. In addition, another
access from westbound Blumberg Boulevard will be made available to vehicular traffic,
improving traffic flow in the Town Center.
FUNDING:
No Funding Required.
