Authorization
REQUEST: The Parks and Recreation Department requests that the Commission
authorize the City Manager to expend $12,500.00 to enter into a contract
with Michael Design Associates, Inc. for planning services related to two (2)
trailheads and trail alignment for the Florida National Scenic Trail through
the City of Winter Springs at a cost of $9,992.00 and to provide for $2,468.00
in related reimbursables.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this project is to procure professional planning services and
information needed to facilitate the development of two (2) trailheads in Winter
Springs included in the County Trail Master Plan, and to provide the information
that will be needed to apply for grant funding for the trailheads design and
improvements.
This planning information will include the creation of conceptual site master
plans, land acquisition recommendations (if appropriate), architectural concepts
and cost estimates while further relating our funding needs for trailhead(s)
development with sources and grants available to the City and those of the
County.
CONSIDERA nONS:
. Central Winds Park will be a trailhead (comfortable access point) by virtue of its
location. It should be planned.
. The 434 visioning plan envisions a trailhead in the Town Center, The trail and
Town Center could be mutually benefited if proper planning is provided,
. There will be some need to examine the trail alignment as it bisects the new high
school and Central Winds Park trailhead location. Relationships to both school
and park must be rationalized for best public service as opposed to allowing the

trail to be cut between these entities to find out later that other scenarios would
have been more effective.
. Currently, studies are underway for future development or rehabilitation of all
City parks including Central Winds. Needs and Community desires for expanding
City recreation services such as swimming, tennis, special teen service and more
are being considered. The trail and its relationship to both existing services and
the potential for expanding services will be studied through this contract.
ISSUE ANALYSIS:
. Michael Design Associates, Inc. are also under contract with Seminole County for
planning services for development of this entire trail. That contract includes
design of the trail ribbon specifically without consideration for any planning for
non-county owned properties or non-county owned trailheads. If trail realignment
is found to be in the Cities best interest, coordination with the County will be
assured through our mutual contracts with this single planning firm.
. Phase I development of the trail is scheduled for fall of this year, Funds and
significant volunteer services are available to the County to develop a few miles
of trail. What portion of the trail will be adopted as Phase I is as yet
undetermined. Our early work here could tip the Phase I table toward serving our
residents most directly,
FUNDING:
. This project will require a $7,500.00 appropriation from the General Fund
reserves to the Parks and Recreation Department Consulting Services Line Code.

Re: Proposal to Winter Springs for Planning Services
Dear Ron,
We are pleased to offer this proposal for planning services to your growing city for the concept planning for
two trailheads and the downtown trail loop per your request. The conceptual planning of the projected
downtown village center area will also be addressed relative to the trailhead, downtown trail loop and the
proposed SR 434 trail bridge although urban design is not provided in this proposal. The details of this
proposal follow for your review.
A. OBJECTIVES OF PLANNING
Central Winds Trailhead
· Establish the conceptual plan for I primary trailhead at Central Winds Park ASAP
· Central Winds Trailhead to accommodate bicyclists, skaters, hikers, ADA, and equestrians
if feasible
Conceptually plan trailhead facilities in conjunction with SR 434, the abandoned SR 434
R/W, and the Central Winds Park expansion plans
Program general costs associated with trailhead to present to County for possible funding
partnership
Downtown-Village Center Trailhead
· Establish the conceptual plan for I primary trailhead within the heart of the planned
downtown village center area
· Accommodate bicyclists, skaters, hikers, ADA, and equestrians if feasible to maximize
positive economic impact to future merchants
· Conceptually plan trailhead facilities in conjunction with SR 434, the SR 434 future trail
bridge, and the main Florida National Scenic Trail corridor
Conceptually plan a downtown village trail loop to channel main trail traffic to the Village
Center Trailhead
· Use future SR 434 trail bridge as a feature to enhance the trailhead image
Program general costs associated with trailhead to present to County for possible funding
partnership

Winter Springs Trailheads & Loop Proposal
February 20, 1997
B. DESCRIPTION OF PLANNING TASKS
The planning description for the 2 trailheads and the downtown village trail loop descriptions are
provided below.
Central Winds Trailhead
An initial trailhead at Central Winds Park is to be conceptually planned as quickly as possible to
accommodate as many trail user groups as possible, and possibly using the FDOT abandoned right
of way due to Central Winds Park being completely developed. Current park expansion plans by
the City are to be coordinated with the new trailhead regarding circulation, parking, etc. It is
anticipated that this planning will be quickly completed to present the County Commission with a
clear and realistic picture of what can quickly happen in the City of Winter Springs.
Village Center Trailhead and Loop
A conceptual planning process is to be initiated to review the area between Central Winds Park and
the proposed new trail bridge across SR 434 for the purpose of establishing a downtown/village
center trail loop in combination with a primary trailhead which will be a focal point for the new
village center. Properties within this area will be reviewed from the standpoint of their desirability
for access from SR 434, the County trail alignment, their relationship relative to a village center
scenario, existing desirable features, and the potential for the development of a new urban
infrastructure. The image of the trail as it relates to the new village center will be a primary concern.
It is anticipated that this planning process will be more involved than the Central Winds Trailhead
and will require more time to complete. The definition of possible funding sources for the village
center trail loop by a combination of federal, state, local and private funding will be a consideration
although funding applications preparation are not included in this proposal.
C. CONCEPTUAL PLANNING PROCESS
The conceptual planning process is proposed to occur in the following manner.
1.0 Inventory - Obtain base mapping data (digital and hard copies) for the trailhead area,
prepare base plan graphic, and review planning process timetable with County
2.0 Central Winds Trailhead - Initiate conceptual planning
a. Site Analysis - analyze site to generally define existing features including the trail
corridor R1W, potential SR 434 R1W, land use, circulation routes, prime view sheds,
natural areas of interest and wetlands. Attempt to secure conceptual approval by
FDOT to use abandoned SR 434 RIW for trailhead and set the stage for the County
to submit an Enhancement Application (or the City in another contract). The City
will need to formally request the use of the FDOT SR 434 Abandoned RIW and
survey digital files for the SR 434 project through Winter Springs to supplement
available County and City information.
b. Goals and Objectives - establish guiding criteria for both the trailhead and the
future park expansion
c. Alternatives Analysis - Prepare alternatives (2 maximum) for development of the

corridor, potential SR 434 bridge and bridge approaches, land use, circulation
routes, prime view sheds, natural areas of interest and pre-defined wetlands.
