Special Meeting
MGR. /De t.
REQUEST: The Community Development Department requests the City Commission hold a Public
Hearing for the Aesthetic Review of the proposed wall, located generally along the north and much of
the east perimeter of property owned by Bart and Cynthia Phillips, north of SR 419 and west of Layer
Elementary School.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this agenda item is for the Commission to consider, provide comment on, and approve,
approve with conditions and/or modifications, or disapprove the Aesthetic Review.
The purpose of the Aesthetic Review process is to encourage creative, effective, and flexible
architectural standards and cohesive community development consistent with the intent and purpose of
Article XI -Minimum Community Appearance and Aesthetic Review Standards.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS:
Section 9-601. Approval prerequisite for permits.
Section 9-603. Procedures.
Section 9-605. Submittal requirements.
Section 20-256. Supplemental outdoor storage and warehousing requirements. (Ord. No. 2008-10)
Section 20-263. Enclosed buildings and outdoor storage. (Ord. No. 2008-13)
Ordinance No. 2008-11
"Consent to Zoning Restrictions" document
Florida Power & Light easement agreement
CONSIDERATIONS: The applicant proposes to (1) construct a 10 foot tall masonry wall, after
vacation of the Ginger Lane right-of--way (ROW), along the eastern boundary of their properties,
abutting the Layer Elementary School site and (2) to construct a 10 foot masonry wall along the SR 419
frontage, adjacent to the portion of the site that is proposed for inclusion in the Cross Seminole Trail.
The properties north of the existing Florida Power and Light (FPL) easement have an Industrial Future
Land Use (FLU) designation and I-1 Light Industrial zoning. The properties south of the FPL easement
January 26, 2009
Public Hearing Item 501
Page 2 of 4
have a Commercial FLU designation and presently have C-1 Neighborhood Commercial zoning (the
restricted C-2 zoning is contingent upon the applicant signing the "Consent to Zoning Restrictions"
document -this has not occurred). A 10 foot masonry wall is allowed in the I-1 and C-2 zoning
districts, but not in the C-1 zoning district. Therefore, staff believes that either the applicant needs to
sign the "Consent to Zoning Restrictions" document or to request the Commission reconsider the
restricted rezoning. At the present, approving aesthetic review of the wall could only result in a permit
for the wall along that portion of the properties which are zoned I-1 (subject to the Ginger Lane ROW
vacation, north of Old Sanford-Oviedo Road).
It is unclear as to what FPL will and will not allow in the easement. Staff has requested the applicant
provide documentation. A November 14, 2008 letter from FPL states they will not allow construction
within their easement, but does not provide further details such as, for example, regarding parking,
storage, allowable heights, distances from poles, anchors, or towers, what is allowed or prohibited under
wires, or conductors, grade changes, storm-water facilities, underground utilities, landscaping, fences,
walls, or gates.
The applicant proposes to plant creeping fig vines along the outside of an unpainted wall (the creeping
fig vine is to cover a large expanse of the exterior of the wall) and maintain responsibility for the wall
and plantings. Agate is proposed across a portion of the FPL easement. Staff believes, at minimum,
that (1) the wall exterior side needs to have a concrete stain and that (2) drip irrigation must be provided
and maintained for the vines, to ensure their survival, growth, and viability. Staff also believes that
provisions need to be made for the timely removal of any graffiti or other damage or vandalism that
occurs on the wall as well as the care and possible replacement of the vines.
The submittal requirements for aesthetic review are set forth in Section 9-605 and include the
following: (a) a site plan; (b) elevations illustrating all sides of structures facing public streets or
spaces; (c) illustrations of all walls, fences, and other accessory structures and the indication of
height and their associated materials; (d) elevation of proposed exterior permanent signs or other
constructed elements other than habitable space, if any; (e) illustrations of materials, texture, and
colors to be used on all buildings, accessory structures, exterior signs; and (f) other architectural
and engineering data as may be required. The procedures for review and approval are set forth
in Section 9-603. Staff has requested the applicant provide a written statement describing how
the wall will meet the criteria set forth in sections 20-603 and 20-605.
The City Commission may approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove the application only
after consideration of whether the following criteria have been satisfied:
(1) The plans and specifications of the proposed project indicate that the setting, landscaping,
proportions, materials, colors, textures, scale, unity, balance, rhythm, contrast, and simplicity are
coordinated in a harmonious manner relevant to the particular proposal, surrounding area and
cultural character of the community.
The applicant's proposal is to provide an unpainted 10 foot-tall cast concrete wall upon which
creeping fig vines are to grow and adhere.

January 26, 2009
Public Hearing Item 501
Page 3 of 4
(2) The plans for the proposed project are in harmony with any future development which has
been formally approved by the City within the surrounding area.
The proposed wall is in harmony with the existing industrial character and uses north of
that segment of SR 419, as well as with the prescribed uses in the restricted rezoning.
(3) The plans for the proposed project are not excessively similar or dissimilar to any other
building, structure or sign which is either fully constructed, permitted but not fully constructed,
or included on the same permit application, and facing upon the same or intersecting street within
five hundred (500) feet of the proposed site, with respect to one or more of the following features
of exterior design and appearance:
(A) Front or side elevations,
(B) Size and arrangement of elevation facing the street, including reverse arrangement,
(C) Other significant features of design such as, but not limited to: materials, roof line,
hardscape improvements, and height or design elements.
The proposed wall design is envisioned to buffer/screen vehicles, machinery, and materials of up
to a 13.5 foot tall height on the commercial properties and the recycle/salvage operations on the
industrial properties.
(4) The plans for the proposed project are in harmony with, or significantly enhance, the
established character of other buildings, structures or signs in the surrounding area with respect
to architectural specifications and design features deemed significant based upon commonly
accepted architectural principles of the local community.
The proposed wall design is in harmony with the existing character of the industrial uses in the
area and will set a new standard for the City.
(5) The proposed project is consistent and compatible with the intent and purpose of this Article,
the Comprehensive Plan for Winter Springs, design criteria adopted by the city (e.g. Town Center
guidelines) and other applicable federal state or local laws.
Staff believes that the aesthetic package meets the requirements of this Article for this area,
provided a reasonable color stain is applied to the "outside" of the wall, drip irrigation is provided
to the creeping fig vines, provisions are made for care and replacement of the irrigation system or
plants, and provisions are made for the removal of graffiti from or repair of damage to the wall or
its elements (e.g. gates, plantings).
(6) The proposed project has incorporated significant architectural enhancements such as
concrete masonry units with stucco, marble, termite-resistant wood, wrought iron, brick, columns
and piers, porches, arches, fountains, planting areas, display windows, and other distinctive
design detailing and promoting the character of the community.

FINDINGS:
1. The proposed 10 foot tall concrete wall is located within the City of Winter Springs Industrial
and Commercial FLU designations (I-1 and C-1 zoning, respectively -pending restricted C-2 in
the presently C-1 portion).
2. As currently approved, the proposed 10 foot tall concrete wall cannot be erected within the C-1
properties until the applicant signs the "Consent to Zoning Restrictions" and that document and
the restricted rezoning ordinance are recorded.
3. The applicant proposes to locate the wall within what is presently the Ginger Lane ROW and
adjacent to property that is proposed to become a part of the Cross Seminole Trail.
4. Ginger Lane must be vacated before a permit may be constructed upon the applicant's portion of
the vacated ROW.
5. Staff believes that provision of an acceptable concrete stain to the `exterior" side of the wall, a
drip irrigation system for the creeping fig, and adequate/timely maintenance of the irrigation,
plantings, gates, and wall (including graffiti removal) are key elements to this approval.
6. The applicant has not provided FPL documentation of what it will or will not allow to be built
within the existing power easement. Staff did request the applicant provide such documentation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff review found the applicant's request for Aesthetic Review adequate, subject to the findings above
and recommends that the City Commission approve the wall aesthetic review request subject to these
findings as conditions.

1. Previous comments regarding site plan, aesthetic review criteria (particularly in sections 9-603
& 9-605), access, non-conforming use, and the zoning issues still apply. An approval only
~ applies to the portion of the site which has the appropriate zoning (the SR 419 frontage parcels
are still C-1 until the "Consent to Zoning Restrictions" document is signed and recorded).
Please note that the full extent of what this aesthetic review application is intended to cover is
only the wall and gates on the portion of the site where it is authorized.
Please also note that the restricted rezoning (Ord. #s 2008-10 & 2008-11) restrict the site to a
single warehouse building not to exceed 27,000 S. F, provided the warehouse building is located
adjacent to a functional railroad line.
The gate detail is an improvement, but a color rendering is required for any side facing a public
ROW. Based on the November 14, 2008 fetter from FPL stating that it will not consent to
construction within the easement, please document what they will consent to.
2. In order to expedite the site plan review once the "Consent to Zoning Restrictions" is executed
~ and recorded, please rovide documentation from the power company that the proposal is

changes, fueling/re-fueling, fences/walls,
gates, dumpsters & dumpster enclosures, vegetative plantings, storm-water facilities, backflow
prevention devices, fire hydrants, and underground utilities).

site.
Response: Sheet 1 of 1 shows compliance with the access requirements and Note #2 has
been revised to provide an easement, not a tract.
We hope these responses adequately address your comments. Should you have any additional
questions please call our office.
Sincerely,
Hugh W. Harting,
President
