CONSIDERA nONS:

. The Local Planning Agency, at its May 19th, 1999 meeting, recommended approval of the
Future Land Use Map change with the condition that the applicant enter into a
development agreement based on his May 12th, 1999 letter.
. The City Commission approved the first reading of Ordinance 727 on June 14, 1999.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY RECOMMENDATION:
The following motion was passed:
"That conditioned on the applicant entering into a developer's agreement,
similar to his commitments in his May 12th, 1999 letter, indicating a willingness
to provide buffering, and follow the spirit, if not the letter of this City's State
Road 434 Corridor Visioning Plan; and to cooperate with the City to ensure that
the parcel meets or exceeds existing development and aesthetic standards, and
further, conditioned in that developer's agreement, that the front portion of the
property closest - the south portion of the property, closest to 434/419, be
limited in frontage usage to a "C-l" category, as indicated by Mr. John T.
Cathcart, of Winter Springs Executive Park, Inc., that he was so willing to limit
the property to the "C-l" category along 434" That then, assuming that the
applicant is willing to enter into such a development agreement with those
limitations, and I would further like to see the applicant get some actual notice,
either by mail or hand delivery to somebody from McKinley's Mill, so that they
could come to the City Commission meeting. That based on the preliminary
developer's agreement, that if he is willing to enter into that, that we
recommend that the City Commission approve a small scale comprehensive
plan amendment, changing the (FLUM) Future Land Use Map designation of
the 7.558 acre Wofford/Slappey property from (county) Suburban Estates (1 DU
per acre max.) to Commercial."

SOILS:
I
The Soil Survey of Seminole County. florida, published by the Soil Conservation
Service of the US. Department of Agriculture notes: "While many factors other than
soils are important iA planning for orderly development, soil quality is a basic and
continuing factor. I~ demands full consideration, not only as a guide in determining
use but also as a measure of the kind and magnitude of problems that must be
overcome for specifi:c uses. The decisions on urban uses are not necessarily
determined on the b~sis of suitability. The physical characteristics and qualities of
the soil become par~mount, and interpretations are more directly concerned with the
limitations, restricti9ns, or hazards and suggests corrective practices needed to
prevent serious misttes."
The soils on this property are: (#) - indicates soil map designation
(10) Bassinger, Samsula, and Hontoon soils, depressional
(20) Myakka ~nd EauGallie fine sands
I
I
(10) Bassinger, Sa~sula, and Hontoon soils, depressional - The soils in this map unit
are nearly level and very poorly drained. These soils are in swamps and
depressions. Tihe slopes are dominantly less than 2 percent. In their natural
state, the soils )n this map unit are not suited to use for homesites, commercial
or recreational idevelopment, or sanitary facilities. The main limitations are
ponding, exce~s humus, low strength, and subsidence.
i
(20) Myakka and E}lUGallie fine sands: The soils in this map unit are nearly level
and poorly drained The slopes are dominantly less than 2 percent. The soils in
this map unit a~e poorly suited to use for sanitary facilities, building sites, or
recreational development. The main limitations are seepage and wetness.
\Vater control, including drainage outlets, is needed to overcol11e wetness. Fill
material should be <1dded to l11<1ke these soils suitable for 1110st urban use.
1. TOPOGRAPHY:
The subject property is overall twenty-five (25) feet above mean sea level.
2. FLOOD PRONE Al}EA:
i
A review of the FE0A National Flood Insurance Program Rate Map (] 2117CO 145-
E; April] 7, 1995) appears to show all of the subject land is outside the 100 year flood
prone area, except fqr possibly the very northwest part of the property.
I
I
3. NATURAL RESOURCES, HISTORIC RESOURCES.
I
No natural or historip resources are known to exist on the subject land.
4.
WILDLIFE AND SJ?ECIES DESIGNATED AS ENDANGERED, TI-ill.EATENED
OR SPECIAL CON tERN :
I
No federally listed ehdangered plants are known to exist in the county. It is essential
that surveys of such 'species be completed prior to site development of parcels
I
containing native vegetation communities. The subject property has only a few small
areas that are c1eareq of trees.
)
C. NUISANCE POTENTIAL OF PROPOSED USE TO SURROUNDING LAND USES.
The nuisance potential onhe proposed use resulting from the change of Future Land Use
Map designation from county "Suburban Estates" to City "Commercial" to the surrounding
properties should be minilhal in view of the following: .
I
!
· The City has development standards in its land development regulations to ensure
minimal impacts on ~surrounding properties, such as buffering. The City's land
development regulatJons and the site plan review process of the Development Review
Committee can ensure the prevention or minimization of any potential nuisances.
1
· Although the S.R 434 Corridor New Development Overlay Zoning District
regulations do not i~c1ude the subject property, the applicant, in his letter dated
I
May 12, ] 999, has i?dicated his willingness to provide buffering and "follow the
spirit of the City's S;R. 434 Corridor Vision Plan" . . .[and] . . .will cooperate with the
City to ensure the pdrcel meets or exceeds existing development and aesthetic
standards".
)
.
The cOl11mercial dev'elopment that would occur on a 7 acre parcel is not expected to
gencrCltc a significant amount of tralTlc that would lower the Level of Service of S R.
43~1.
)
)
)
III.
.
The applicant in his }vIay 12, 1999 letter, indicates that they plan to develop the front
portion of the property with permitleduses allowed in the C-I Zoning District. "The
proposed use for thejnorthern (rear) portion of the property is approximately 2 acres
of retention pond and wetland preservation area. The professional offices, such as for
dentists, lawyers, aCfountants, real estate, as well as home servicing repair businesses
is proposed to be looated to the rear of the subject property.
The proposed com"]lrcial use of the property is compatible with the existing land lIse
of adjacent properti,s. The adjacent property to the west of the subject propel1y
involves an auto repair and salvage business, while the adjacent property to the east
has one (1) reSidenCrWith the owner operating an auto restoration business in the
sheds to the rear. T ere are other businesses e.g. antique shop, real estate office to the
west toward the belt ay.
I
I
I
I
· The general areal along S.R. 434 in proximity to the beltway is experiencing
development pre:ssure. Just to the west of the beltway, Hess Service Station has
been built, KashfN-Karry Food Store is about to be built as well as the 252 unit
Courtney Springs Apartment complex. This reflects the changing nature of the
area around the Beltway and S.R. 434, one that is evolving from a rural area to an
urbanizing area.~This area is experiencing the pressures of development primarily
due to demand D' r new residential and commercial development in a prime
location in gene .al proximity to the transportation nexus of the beltway and
I
S.R. 434. !
· The applicant's Jroposed land use "Commercial" is compatible with the
commercial natu~e of an urban arterial such as S.R. 434, as well as with the
existing comme~cial establishments in the general area of the beltway and
S.R. 434. I
· There are busine~ses along the north side of S.R. 434 just east of the beltway such
as an antique shQp, real estate office, bicycle repair place, an auto salvage and
repair shop and an auto restoration business. At present, much of the area along
I
both sides of S. ~. 434 east of the beltway to the curve at DeLeon Street is vacant.
The general areal around the transportation nexus of the beltway and S.R. 434 is
appropriate for cpmmercial enterprises.
.
FINDINGS:
· The commercial idevelopment that would occur on a 7 acre parcel will not
generate a significant amount of traffic that would lower the Level of Service of
S.R.434.
· The existing land use adjacent to the subject property is vacant on the south side,
south of S.R. 43:LI, vacant to the north, though that portion to the rear of the
subject propenywill be developed as the I3Clttle Ridge residcntiClI subdivision, and
auto repair and restoriltion busincsses adjacent on the cast and west side of'the
subject property.
