E., Director of Public Works/Engineer SUBJECT: Hawkts Landing The engineering on the subject project is approved with the following provisos: 1. Subject to all standard provisos where applicable. 2. ~~e retention ponds shall not be constructed until the City receives a copy of the DER approval with all conditions listed thereon. The pipe systems a.nd retention areas shall be maintained by the Homeowner's Association or the Developer to perform adequately and in accordance with DER approval. -- 3. The regarded depth of the swale along Sheoah Blvd. may become a problem and may not be able to be constructed as proposed on the engineering plans. There is an existing sidewalk along the west side of Sheoahand the swale may be too deep and its side slopes too steep to be acceptable to the City at the exits from both of the entrance road culverst. Should this become evident, the developer shall install standard gutter inlets on the entrance road pipe intersection and shall pipe the discharge from these inlets to the swale inlet located on the west side of Sheoah Blvd. between the entrances cf ~.-L':';;; proj ect . 4. The building elevations are shown on the grading plan but due to the amount of demucking and fill required on the project, the final site elevation for each unit. should be reviewed and approved in the field and be related to the final street grade, the amount of excavation and fill, and the adjacent lot grades as well as the existing terrain adjacent to the building site or the lot in question. In most cases, except where fill has been generated in some areas, most of the building elevations are above the natural grades as shown in the area. Lots where organic materials are removed and control fill placed shall be certified by the soils consultant in order to insure a stable and dry building pad area. 5. Additional soils work will be required during construction in order to assure that the underdrains are adequately placed and are long enough and provide sufficient lateral drainage in order to protect the whole site as well as the roadway system. Some underdrains have been shown on the engineering plans, but these, in no way, should reflect the minimum amount installed by the contractor. As soon as the roadi-rays are cut out, a comprehensive groundwater and soils survey should be conducted along the right-of-ways, and a report submitted to the City prior to construction of the drainage system. The report should project anticipated wet season high water tables a..."ld recommend the location and placement of underdrains to protect tlJ.e sites and the roadways. from the high .rater tat)les. , . e e e _ '.'-:,~"i1'~,'t~.~!'!::rr:;:~77:- Jacqueline Koch, Director of Administrative Services Hawk's Landing Page 2 October 25, 1983 6. 11iU/<S jltt.ttV~ A written commitment shall be provided, either from the ~nds Homeowners Association or in the deed restrictions for this development, to assure ongoing inspection and permanent maintenance of the drainage system of Hawk's Landing. 7. Lot grading at the Lake Audubon outfall will be such that in the event of an emergency blockage, sheet drainage of a confined nature can occur. Note: This project represents a very intense use of a very difficult site on which it is hard to cover all necessary features on a set of engineering plans. There are many details that will have to be worked out in the field as the various sites are developed and the Engineer expects there will be more clearing than has been initially anticipated on these plans in order to facilitate the installation of the improvements and to provide safe access to the sites as proposed. e e e /~~:,~~:':':,:,:~~{~:. , .

These plans are unchanged from those previously approved by the Commission in 1981, which approval will expire before sufficient development can occur to meet the timetable for the PUD ordinance. The Staff reviewed the plans at a meeting on Thursday, October 20, 1983, and recommends the plan for approval subject to: (1) The Engineer's reconmendations (2) A revision in the traffic pattern around cul-de-sacs at the western end of Anhinga Road to be all one-way, at the Police Chief's request. (3) Waiver by the Co~~ission of the Section 14-95 require~ent that private streets meet public street standards, which waiver is recoIT~mended by the Staff. Since this patio home development involves only 116 lots on 23 acres, a density of 5 units per acre, and since there is provided a 40-foot right-of-way, Staff feels a satisfactory traffic circulation system is provided..

Florida 32751 305-295-8196 October 18, 1983 City of Winter Springs Winter Springs, Florida Attention: Jacqueline Koch Gentlemen: On June 23, 1981, Winter Springs approved the development of 116 single family residential units on Parcels "F" and "G" of "The Highlands", subject to certain conditions, which at this time are not in question. The property borders Big Cypress Golf Course and is, for the most part, heavily wooded with oak, magnolia, maple, hickory, and pine trees. It covers an area of 23.18 acres. Pursuant to the original PUD master plan for the Highlands, Par- cels "F" and "G" were designated for patio homes contemplating seven {7) units pe~ acre. The plans, as approved, constitute a density of five (5) units per acre. Mostly due to unfavorable market conditions at that time, the development did not proceed when the plans were approved in 1981. The approvals are required to be renewed and were re-presented for that purpose by the original designers, Dyer, Riddle, Mills and Precourt, Inc. with no changes from the design as approved two years ago. In an effort to preserve as many trees as practical and because of the irregular configuration of the property, the designers established a minimum right of way width of forty (40) feet. As it is intended to maintain the streets privately, that criterion was acceptable when the design was approved. However, a subsequent amendment to the zoning ordinance requires that private streets meet the design standards established for public streets "unless waived by specific council action" as so stated in Section 14-95 on page 793. CITY OF Wli.;iER SPRINGS RECEiVED OCT 2 0 1983 CITVPLANNER e City of Winter Springs October 18, 1983 Page 2 A' strict application of the new standard would present an excessive hardship to the developer, possibly to the extent of rendering the development not feasible in its presently planned low density scheme. Amongst other disadvantages, it would probably call for a re-design of the rights-of-way, which would encumber the principal interest of the designers and developers to preserve many of the trees standing at the site. The developers hereby resepectfully request that the City of Winter Springs waive that requirement limiting the minimum width of rights- of-way which was imposed as stated in Section 14-95. e PH/da e :';C'7""~t'<'~ << I / September 20, 1983 Winter Springs City Council 400 North Edgemon Avenue Winter Springs, FL 32708 Attention: Ms. Jacqueline Koch Subject: Tracts F&G of the Highlands Section 3 (Formerly known as "Hawks Landing") Dear Ms. Koch: We have recently entered into a contract to sell the subject property to Pine Grove Holding, Inc.
