v. EUGENE WILLIFORD, III
CITY MANAGER
PETITION TO INVOKE THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT ON
MEDIATION AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION
City of Oviedo ["Oviedo"], a political subdivision of the State of Florida, by
and through its undersigned counsel, pursuant to that Interlocal Agreement on
Mediation and Intergovernmental Coordination ["Agreement"] dated January 24,
1995, hereby petitions to invoke the Agreement, to call an Executive Settlement
Conference ["ESe"] to be held pursuant to Section 4 and 5 of the Agreement.
The central issue to be discussed at this ESC is Oviedo's challenge to the
Department of Community Affairs' Notice of Intent to find Winter Springs'
Comprehensive Plan Amendment "in compliance". Discussions shall include the
City of Winter Springs' ["Winter Springs"] annexation of that property generally
known as Battleridge, the Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan Amendment currently
under Notice, a discussion of Winter Springs' rezoning of the Battleridge property
and the Development Order regarding that property.
The City Council of the City of Oviedo is concerned that Oviedo would be
greatly impacted by the Battleridge development. Further, the annexation fails to
provide effective and efficient public services and facilities, forcing the City of
Oviedo to provide services and facilities to Battleridge without any mechanism to
generate taxes from that property for those services rendered. This annexation is not
consistent with Winter Springs' Comprehensive Plan. This development is in direct
conflict with the results as outlined in the Seminole County Greeneway/SR 434 Small
Area Study. Finally, this development is, at best, premature as it is without the
completion of the Lake Jesup basin study, the work of the Friends of Lake Jesup, the
road improvements scheduled for 2000-2001 in Oviedo, and Seminole County's plan
to protect the remaining rural areas surrounding the property to the East.
A preliminary list of Oviedo's representatives that will be present at the ESC
include:
v. Eugene Williford, III, City Manager
Montye E. Beamer, Assistant City Manager
David Moon, Planning Director
City Attorney
It is requested that Seminole County's representative also be present at the
ESC.
The City of Oviedo, through this petition, also concurs with Seminole County
in requesting with Winter Springs' concurrence to abate the administrative hearing
to permit compliance with the remainder of the Agreement.
The City of Oviedo further states that Seminole County, the City of Winter
Springs and the City of Oviedo have been involved in good-faith negotiations relative
to the Battleridge plan amendment for some time. Due to the nature of these
negotiations, the City also believes that the best interest of all parties would be served
by bypassing the Executive Settlement Conference provisions of Section 5 and
moving directly to mediation under Section 7 of the Agreement. The City of Oviedo,
therefore, seeks the City of Winter Springs' concurrence in this arrangement and
looks forward to bringing this matter to a successful resolution under the terms of the
Agreement. Oviedo's City Attorney will propose a mediator to the City of Winter
Springs in the near future upon notification of concurrence.
