Authorization
REQUEST: Utility Department Requesting Authorization to Purchase 12.3 Acres of
Vacant Land
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to request authorization from the City
Commission to Enter into a Vacant Land Contract for the Purchase of 12.3 Acres
to be Used for Effluent Disposal at a Cost of $25,000 plus Closing Costs.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The purchase ofthis property is needed to enhance the wet weather effluent
disposal capabilities of the wastewater system.
The 12.3 acre parcel is located approximately 600 feet east of the intersection of
Shore Road and Bahama Road. Of the 12.3 acres, 4.6 acres are non-contiguous uplands
and the remaining 7.7 acres are wetlands. It is estimated that 40,000 gallons per day of
effluent disposal could be realized on the uplands property.
The City staff was first appoached last year as to whether we were interested in
purchasing a 12.3 acre parcel that was remaining from the Earley Property which is being
developed as Seville Chase. This parcel was detached and was not used for stoffilwater
management or wetland mitigation although it is to remain as "undeveloped open space"
per the Settlement Agreement. For effluent disposal, an irrigation system would be
installed which is compatable with the conditions of the Settlement Ageement.

Closing costs are estimated at $1,500 to $2,000. Funds are available from the Utility
Enterprise Fund Reserves for this expenditure.
RECOMMENDATION:

for the purchase of 12.3 acres of property at a cost of$25,000 plus $2,000 closing costs
payable from Utility Enterprise Fund reserves.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE:
The closing for the purchase of this property should occur within 45 days.

Attention: Kipton Lockcuff, P.E. Utility Director
Gentlemen:
As requested, we have appraised the 12.308 acres of vacant land located west of Shore Road and
north of the Florida Power Corporation utility easement, in Winter Springs, Seminole County,
Florida. We previously completed an appraisal of the subject property, effective February 15,
1997, for the City of Winter Springs. This new appraisal, effective November 26, 1997, takes
into consideration additional information regarding the subject property, including the revised
boundary survey I dated August 27, 1997, and the Settlement Agreement between the City of
Winter Springs and Hubert R. Earley, dated December 2, 1994.
This is a restricted appraisal report which is intended to comply with the reporting requirements
set forth under Standards Rule 2-2(c) of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
for a Restricted Appraisal Report. As such, it presents summaries of the data, reasonJ.ng, and
analyses that were used in the appraisal process to develop the appraisers I opinion of value.
Supporting documentation concerning the data, reasoning, and analyses is retained in the.
appraisers I file. This appraisal report cannot be understood properly without additional
information contained in the appraisers' file . Use of this report is restricted to the client for the
intended use stated .below. The appraisers are not responsible for the unauthorized use of this
report.
Furthermore, in accordance with a prior agreement between the client and the appraisers, this
report is the result of a limited appraisal process, in that certain allowable departUres from specific
guidelines of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (US PAP) were invoked.
The intended user of this report is warned that the reliability of the value conclusion provided may
be impacted to the degree there is departure from specific guidelines of USPAP. The primary
departure is that we have not estimated an exposure time for the subject property.

7.0 CONCLUSIONS
Wren Engineering has determined that there are no environmental c?ncerns
related to the subject property. The site is currently undeveloped and heavily vegetated.
A small creek flowing from south to north dissects the site. A wetland survey performed
for the City indicated that of the total 12.3 acres, 4.59 acres more or less constituted
upland areas and the other 7.715 acres more or less were classified as wetland areas.
This conclusion is based on the limits of the investigation described in this report.
Wren Engineering, P.A. can offer no assurances and assumes no responsibility for site
conditions or activities which were outside the scope of the inquiry requested by the
City of Winter Springs. In performing its investigations, Wren Engineering has used
reasonable care and has performed its work in keeping with industry standards and
standard agency procedures as appropriate. It should be understood by the City of
Winter Springs that Wren Engineering has relied on the accuracy of documents, oral
information, and other material and information provided by sources documented in this
report. There can be no assurance, and Wren Engineering offers no assurance, that
site conditions do not exist or could not exist in the future which were undetected and
which could lead to liability in connection with the site. Similarly, past and present
activities on the site indicating potential environmental concerns may not have been
discovered by Wren Engineering's inquiries. Such activities may include those that
would indicate the potential for regulated hazardous substances at the site. Wren
E~gine~ri.ng has .analyzed the information obtained in its limited investigation in keeping
with eXisting environmental standards and enforcement practices, but cannot accurately
predict what actions any given agency may take presently or what standards and
practices may apply to the site in the future. .
