He stated that this is an enormous task and the Board wi.ll need all the help they can get from the residents. The first five years [as to be mapped out quite exten..'3ively, then with long range plarming up to the year 2010. Hopkins mentioned current projects going on in Winter Springs: the Senior Citizens Center, the Super Park, a new solid waste program currently under development, and most of all the growth wi thin the City. He also mentioned the Expressway that abuts the City limits, which will add an enormous amount of traffic onto S.R. 434. He stated that there is only one way to get fr~n one end of the Ci ty to the other. The Board has been working on a collector road system within the City to help alleviate the traffic congestion, and to make it easier for the residents to get around the City. He stated that the current plan for making S. R. 434 four lanes is not until 1995-96 and that the expressway is to be finished in this area in 1993. The collector road system is more or less a loop design. He stated that the Board has been asking the residents to come to the meetings to discuss the problems that they are being faced with so this information can be taken into consideration in developing the Comprehensive Plan. Hopkins explained concurrency to the residents. He said that concurrency has been applied to growth management. Concurrency is the requirement that public facilities 5"Uch as roads, parks, sewers, land fills, drinking water, etc. be available at the same time as the impact of developments. John Conner, resident of Seminole Pines, asked if there were any plans to straighten Wagner's CUrve. Koch state<..1 that when S.R. 434 is widened to four lanes, the plan is to flatten out the curve so it is a more easy turn. She stated that the current five year plan that D.O.T. has for 1994-95 does not show funding for construction of the widening of S.R. 434. D.G.T. has indicated that they see it on line as next in priority and probably will come about 1995-96. Plarming and Zoning Board Minutes August 1, 1990 Page 2 Conner asked if there were any plans for a traffic light in that area. Koch stated that S.R. 434 is a State highway and is under the control of D.G.T. She stated that the Commission is looking at this subject. Dan Martin, resident of Hacienda Village, stated his concerns about the empty shopping center in the center of the City. He also mentioned that there are many unoccupied plazas in the City and there should not be any more built until the ones that are here are filled. Martin also mentioned the culverts emptying into Gee Creek. Koch stated that the law regarding storrnwater runoff is that after development, there is to be no more stormwater runoff to the creeks than there was before there was any development. She stated that there are some problems from the 1970s when the laws were lax. Bill Ragland, resident of Hacienda Village, spoke of the water problems in his area since the wall was built around Mt. Greenw:>od. He also said its appearance was deteriorating. Koch stated that sh~ W'Juld check the deed restrictions for Mt. Greenwood; the homeowners association is required to maintain their common areas. There was a meeting with the developer and representatives from Hacienda Village and it was ultimately decided that the drainage was a private matter between the tW'J property owners. Hacienda Village developers constructed a swale, but this has not solved the problem. Koch mentioned that the State may soon require that all local governments take over all stormwater retention management even though it is on private property. The City is looking at a stormwater utility whereby the City would take overall responsibility for managing all stormwater and this W'Juld require a City~ide tax. Ted Brunelli, resident of Seminole Pines, asked about who controls the wetlands. Koch stated St. John's Water Management District controls the \l-Jetland areas. Brunelli also asked what would happen if a developer came in and bought the mobile home park and wanted to make a change from mobile homes to apartments or condominiums. Horan stated that under Chapter 7-23 which provides for the selling of the park first option goes to the homeowners or the owner would have to provide land elsewhere, comparable to what the homeowners have now. A developer W'Juld also have to comply with City procedures. Lloyd Anderson, resident of Hacienda Village, asked about the property fronting Hacienda Village. Koch stated that the zoning of the property is C-l. Koch also mentioned that the Board can recommend land use changes to undeveloped property. Brunelli asked if there were any plans for City sewer service for Seminole Pines. Koch stated that there is no plan for City sewer services for Seminole Pines at this time, but there is talk of City Water service.
