Re: Potential High School in Tuscawilla
Dear Conmissioners:
Glenn Marvin and I met today with Ms. Diane Kramer of the Seminole Coutny School
Board who told us that Tract 80 of the Tuscawilla P.U.D. has bee 1 idientified as one of the
top two choices for a new high school in this 2.rea. She statt'U that her intention is to
present the two sites to the Commission for their input once furl er data was obtained and
conceptual plans have been drawn to illustrate the two alterna' ves. Per our Settlement
Agreement, Tract 80 is designated to be a Multi-family site, , owing up to 1,480 units.
Tuscor~ Road is planned to connect the existing subdivision r ,rth to S.R. 434. Before
commencing with the conceptual plans needed for the School Bard to effectively analyze
the site, we would like some feedback from the Commission as lJ how they might react to:
1) a land use change redesignating the 74 acres to accommodat. a high school, and 2) the
possibilities of not completing Tuscora as aniticipated if the School Board deems it would
be preferable not to have the roadway cut through site.

Billing Cycle Change
From:
Re:
1. For sometime now we have been making various operational
and management changes to WSWS East and West. We feel those
changes improved our manpower utilization, resulted in a
more efficient and cost effective operation but most importantly,
improved the service we are able to provide to resident customers.
.
2. Another step forward in combining the operations of east
and west would be to eliminate the "two cycle" billing presently
employed at WSWS West and bill both cycles concurrently in
the middle of the month. We understand this may be an incon-
venience to some customers, however, in the long run the
customers and utility will benefit. Attached you will find
a memorandum from the Utility Director with a recommended
notification letter.
3. Since we acquired Seminole Utilities and experienced problems
with delinquent accounts and with resulting turn-offs, staff
has been monitoring that phase of operations. At the time I
recommended perhaps we should not turn off water 5 days after
the delinquency notice is sent but rather wait and if payment
is not received,include the delinquent bill in the next months'
billing. If the entire bill (both months) is not paid within
a specified time, turn off the water until the full amount
is paid.
4. The estimate is that we could save approximately $5,000
per year with the elimination of the second bill. The
Utility Director has also addressed this in the above
referenced memorandum.
5. I will place this on the June 22, 1992 agenda for your
discussion and consideration. Should you require additional
information or have any questions please call Hr. Lockcuff.
.
6. Additional information: We now will accept check payment
of utility bills at either office.

RE: Billing Cycle Change
Attached please find a draft of a letter to be sent to residents
connected to the West system and part of billing cycle #2. This
is generally those residents north of 434. Presently, the West
system bills the two cycles at different times of the month.
It is our intent to bill both cycles at the same time of the
month. The East system bills both cycles concurrently at the end
of the month. If approved, the West system will bill both cycles
concurrently in the middle of the month. This would enhance the
operation of the Utility as we move towards combining the two
systems.
Another issue that has been discussed is the elimination of the
second notice requirement which was adopted pursuant to Sec. 19-
97 of the City Code. While the bill would still be due 15 days
after receipt, the next bill would include the delinquent charges
from the previous month. Service would be turned off 5 days
after the receipt of the second bill if the account was not paid
1n full.
We have noticed on several occasions when turn offs were not
conducted due to the proximity to the holidays, that all but a
few of the delinquent accounts were current by the next billing
cycle. The elimination of second notices would save around
$5,000 per year in postage and other costs.
The drawback is that the City would be increasing the delinquent
amounts to two months which would generally exceed the deposit
amount. While we may see an increase in our uncollectables, this
would be more than offset by the savings. If it is the desire of
the Commission to pursue this, a change in the Ordinance would be
required.

Customers of Winter Springs
REFERENCE:
Billing Cycle Change
Dear Resident of Winter Springs:
In order to increase the efficiency of our billing system, we
will be altering the billing date and due date for those
customers whose account number begins with 02. In the past, the
bills were sent at the end of the month and were due on the 15th.
This same pattern will be followed in June.
However, starting July, your bills will be sent around the 15th
and will be due the 1st. This means that your June bill will be
due July 15th and at that time you will receive a new bill that
will be due arr~nd August 1st. The second bill should be about
one-half of what your bill normally is. After the July cycle,
you will receivp one bill per month for your normal amount.
We anticipate that this conversion will allow us to keep our
operating costs down by increasing our billing efficiency. If
you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Office
Manager, Barbara Landress, at 327-1641 between 8 AM and 5 PM
Monday through Friday.
Sincerely,

Traffic Impact Study
Dear Mr. Rozansky:
Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB) has conducted a traffic stuuy documenting the traffic
impact of the referenced project on behalf of CED Construction. We have been inf~rmed
that the City of Winter Springs has concerns regarding the traffic impacts and has
consequently retained the services of Tipton and Associates, Inc. (TAl) to review our study.
We respectfully request that all information germane to TAl's review of our study be
provided in hand to VHB at least three (3) working days prior (0 the City of Casselberry
public meeting at which this information is to be discussed. This will allow VHB time to
prepare responses to any concerns raised by TAl.

Review of Traffic Impact Analysis for the
Castle Park Apartments Project
Casselberry, Florida
FROM:
DAlE:
RE:
Dear Mr. Mayor,
At the Regular Meeting of City Commission on June 22, 1992, under General Agenda Item III, B, Mr. Kern addressed
the staff review of the proposed Castle Park Development in Casselberry. I don't believe that Mr. Kern can distinguish between
the forest and the trees! As a City Planner, his understanding of the issues is rather limited - perhaps not his fault! The
information provided by Tipton Associates appears to be distorted in that much effort was expended in their report comparing
trip generation between the existin~ and pronosed zoning. Their conclusion reflects that residents of Winter Springs should be
eternally grateful that the developers "down zoned" from C-l to R-3!
The facts are different: Casselberry's Comprehensive Plan for Zoning reflects the 2.7 acre parcel under consideration
as R- 3; the Zoning Map to be conformed to reflect the change at the annual update. Consequently, the C-l rate does not pertain
to the parcel and therefore no comparison of traffic C-l versus R-3 is applicable. Tipton Associates (TAl) should have
researched the matter before wasting Winter Springs time with such a report. And Mr. Kern should have known these facts from
his discussions with Mr. Delk, Casselberry's City Planner.
Further, the TAl report only refers to traffic going north to SR434. No consideration was given to traffic using Murphy/
Edgemon to SR419 or north to SR 17/92. This route is the fastest for traffic using 17/92 to destinations north of Weldon Blvd.
That traffic today is considerable.
In spite of these deficiencies, T AI's recommendations that the Murphy Rd. driveway be eliminated from the site plan
in favor of a secondary entry/exit via Blue Bell Road in Casselberry is a more viable solution to the traffic problem. Ironically,
the northbound traffic will then find the Belle Avenue route to SR 434 more attractive than using Winter Springs streets.
However, most of our homeowners' concerns are with the possibility of flooding. The entire area is now subject to
flooding by normal summer rainfall periods, and the further "pave over" of more than 20 acres (building foundations, parking
areas, and roadways) will dramatically reduce the percolation of water runoff and exacerbate the present problems of storm
water management in the area.
The over 300 signatories on the petition to stop the planned project strongly believe that no development should be
allowed on the 47 acres. The area should be purchased by the State and dedicated as a wetlands area at a fraction of the cost
of the $1,429,604 yearly tax credit subsidy being given the developer for erecting this project. (FYI, Seminole County records
reflect the tract was purchased in December 1991 by the developer for $773,943.)
The bottom line gut feeling of all homeowners in the area, both in Casselberry and Winter Springs, who are signatories
on the petition is this: The project is the wrong use of the land; in the wrong area, and is morally not the right thing to do to
all the homeowners who bought homes in a single family area to get away from the problems associated with high density
development. We are asking the Winter Springs Commissioners to officially support our efforts to stop this project. Diek
Rozansky's letter of May 12, 1992 to the City of Casselberry reflecting his concerns with the planned project should serve as
the basis for an official position of our City Commission. Please help us.

Dear Sir:
Over 300 people, signatories on a petition objecting to the
proposed low income rental housing development on a State wetland
area, are requesting your active support to stop this project.
.
A 304 unit apartment complex is being planned on a 48 acre tract in
Casselberry just north of Seminola Boulevard between Winter Park
Drive and Murphy Road. The area bears the state wetland
uescr iption. The st. Johns Ri ver lilaler Management Distr ict has
granted the ok to develop over 20 acres of the tract wi th an
agreement that the developer deed to the district a 27 acre
"Conservation Easement" for wetland preservation.
The petition signatories are owners of single family properties
ad j acent to the pr oposed deve lopmen t, both in Ca5:3e 1 ber r y and
Winter Springs. The petitioners believe that high density (304
units x 4 persons per unit 1200 projected residents) is land
usage incompatible with the surrounding neighborhoods which all
bear the zoning designation R-l single family. We strongly believe
that the 48 acre site should not be developed; but should be
designated as a total wetland/watershed area. The entire area is
now subject to flooding in normal summer rainfall periods, and
further "pave over" of over 20 acres (building foundations, parking
areas and roadways) will dramatically reduce the percolation of
water r uno f f and exacer bate the pr es ent pr aLl ems of storm water
management in the area.
Seminole County property records reflect that the 48 acre tract was
purchased in December 1991 for $773,943. Ironically, the State is
allowing the developer $1,429,604 yearly in tax credits from the
affordable housing budget to build the project. We believe this
subsidy would be put to much better use by earmarking a portion of
that amount to purchase the tract and preserve it in perpetuity as
a public wetland area.

RE: i
Castle Park Apartments Review
On June 1st, the City of Casselberry granted a thirty (30) day
continuance to the City of Winter Springs on the final public
hearing regarding the proposed rezoning of 2.7 acres from
Commercial to Multi-Family. Final engineering plans for the
project were received by Winter Springs on June 4th and were
subsequently reviewed by the department heads to determine the
potential effect of the development on the property and citizens
within Winter Springs.
.
An independr'nt traffic impact analysis, directed by the City
Commission, was 21so performed to review the analysis performed by
Vanasse, Hangen, Brustlin, Inc. for CED Construction, Inc. as well
as to determine the impact of the proposed rezoning and development
on the traffic flows on Murphy Road and Edgemon Avenue. The text
of this independent analysis is attached.
The following is a review of the staff's comments on the final
engineering plans of Castle Park.
1) The heavy construction traffic associated with this
project could increase the rate of deterioration of both
Murphy Road and Edgemon Avenue. The manholes and gravity
mains on Murphy road have already been subject to
decline.
2) The proposed ingress/egress onto Murphy should be closed
and a second access to the project be provided from Blue
Bell Drive (the final plans show a gated paved emergency
access drive at this location).
3) Blue Bell Drive provides direct access to Winter Park
Drive, which is only .7 miles from the development,
allowing access to SR 434 and SR 436. Traffic generated
by this project would remain within the City of
Casselberry.
.
4)
If three access points are required, the gated and paved
.
.
.
emergency ingress/egress could be onto Murphy Road.
Tipton's review of the traffic analysis performed by Vanasse
et. al. as well as analysis of their own data revealed the
following conclusions.
1) It is recommended to eliminate the apartment driveway to
Murphy Road to discourage trips through Winter Springs,
and, if required for safety reasons, provide access via
Blue Bell Drive.
2) The peak hour generation rates of the original study
represent a worst-case scenario.
3) The effects upon the intersections of Murphy and Edgemon,
both north and south, are negligible, even upon doubling
the trip distribution from the development into Winter
Springs from 10% to 20%.
4)
A comparison of the trip
commercial operation on the
revealed the following:
generation rates
proposed rezoned
for a
parcel
a)
The existing commercial zoning could generate seven
(7) times more daily trips than a multi-family
zoning (2,089 vs. 293).
The commercial zoning could generate five (5) times
more p.m. peak hour trips than multi-family (170 vs.
32) .
A commercial development on this 2.7 acre parcel
would only have access onto Murphy, raising the trip
distribution rate into Winter Springs to 50%.

RE: Review of the Traffic Impact Analysis for the
Castle Park Apartment Project, Casselberry, FL

Dear Greg:
As requested, Tipton Associates Incorporated has accomplished a
detailed review of the Traffic Impact Analysis accomplished by Vanasse Han.
gen Brustlin, Inc., d)ted April 1992 for the proposed C~stle Park apartment
project in Casselberry, Florida. This project is p16nned to be located
north of Seminola Boulevard between Winter Park Drive and Murphy Road.
In addition to reviewing this traffic impact analysis, additional
analyses were accomplished to determine the impact of the proposed develop-
ment on the two intersections of Murphy Road with both Edgemon Avenue North
and Edgemon Avenue South in the City of Winter Springs. Each of these in-
tersections is controlled by stop signs on all approal:hes. A summary of
the results of these analyses is provided below.
TRIP GENERATION
The daily, a.m. and p.m. peak hour trip generation ~ates documented in
Table 3 of the Castle Park Traffic Impact Analysis were reviewed. For this
review, the trip generation rates documented i.n the IrE Trip Generation,
5th Edition for Land Use Code 220 (Apartments Post 1973) were compared to
those documented in the traffic study. The results of this comparison are
provided in Table 1.

IMPACT ON THE TWO INTERSECTIONS OF MURPHY ROAD WITH EDGEMON AVENUE
@
As requested by the City of Winter Springs Planning Department, the
intersect ions of MUI~phy Road with both Edgemon Avenue South and fdgemon
Avenue North were ana lyzed to determine the impact of the proposed apart-
ment project at these locations. A.M. and p.m. peak hour turning movement
counts were dccompl ;shed by theConsuHant from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and
from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. respectively by IS-minute time increments on
June 16, 1992. Thpse a.m. and p.m. turning movement counts were then ad-
justed to average annual values using the FOOT Weekly Adjustment Factors
for Seminole County since the Winter Springs Transportation Concurrency Or-
dinance is based on average annual traffic. Next, these 1992 peak hour
volumes were increased to 1993 volumes using the 4 percent per year growth
rate documented in the Castle Park Traffic Impact Analysis.
The a.m. and p.m. peak hour traffic generated by the proposed apart-
ment complex was assigned through these two intersections using the 20 per-
cent directional distribution factor on ,Murphy Road. Figures Showing the
1993 a.m. and p.m. peak hour total traffic volumes are provided as an at-
tachment to this letter.
Using these 1993 total traffic volumes, intersection capacity analyses
were accomplished for these two intersections. For these analyses the in-
tersection analysis worksheets for all-way stop-controlled intersections
documented in Transportation Research Circular 373 were utilized., The
results of these analyses indicate that the 4-way stop intersection of Mur-
phy Road with Edgemon Avenue North wi 11 operate at Level of Service A
during both the a.m. and p.m. peak hours with the projected 1993 total
traffic demands. The 3-way stop intersection of Murphy Road and Edgemon
Avenue South will operate at Level of Service A during the a.m. peak hour
and Level of Service B during the p.m. peak hour with the 1993 total traf-
fic demands. Copies of the intersection analysis work sheets are provided
as an attachment to this letter.
TRIP GENERATION COMPARISON FOR THE EXISTING AND PROPOSED ZONING
As part of the planned Castle Park apartment project, 2.7 acres of
land adjacent to Murphy Road is proposed to be rezoned. This property is
current 1y zoned for corrmercial land uses and is propOSE'd to be rezoned for
multi-family apartments.

Mr. Gregory Kern
June 19, 1992
In order to eyaluate the effects of the requested rezoning, a trip
generation comparison was accomplished for this property. First. the daily
and p.m. peak hour trip generation values for the current conmerC;al zoning
classification were determined using the lTE -Trip Generation, 5th Edition.
Next, the daily and p.m. peak hour trip generatlon rates documented in the
(I Cas t 1 e Park Traffic Impact Ana lys; s were ut i1 i zed to determine the trips
generated by the portion of apartment units which could be constructed on
this 2.7 aCre parcel. For these analyses the net usable aCreage of 1.67
acres as calculated from the Castle Park site plan was utilized. The total
.., 2.7 at res ; s unab 1 e to be used for deve 1 opment due to ex tens; ve wet land s
~ within the area.
The results of the trip generation comparison are provided in Table 2.
This table documents that the current COrrmercial zoning could generate
Seven times as many new daily trips (1,796 more new daily trips) and five
times as many new p.m. peak hour trips (138 more new p.m. peak hour trips)
than the reQuested multi-family reZoning. In addition, it i5 very impor-
tant to remember that if this corrmercial parcel were to r"emain as is and
the apartment complex was constructed without this acreage, the only acc~ss
from the conmercial land would be directly onto Murphy Road. Therefore,
the distribution would most likely be 50 percent north into Winter Springs
and 50 percent south into Casselberry. This would result in a sig-
nificant ly greater impact on Murphy Road north into the City of Winter
Springs than the requested apartments.

CONCLUSIONS
Based Upon the data collected and analyses accomplished, the following
conclusions are made regarding our review of the Traffic Impact Analysis
for the proposed Castle Park apartment project accomplished by Vanas~e Han-
gen Brustlin, Inc. and the requested rezoning of 2.7 acres of conmercial
property on Murphy Road:
RESIDENTIAL USE OF 2.7 ACRES
(V
1.
The trip generation values documented in the Traffic Impact Analysis
represent a wor~t-case scenario as compared to trip generation values
obtained using the ITE Trip Generation, 5th EditiLn. .
The results of our intersection analyses on Murphy Road at its two in-
tersections with Edgemon Avenue indicate that each of these intersec-
t'ions will Operate at an acceptable level of service even with a
worst-case distribution of 20 percent north on .:lurphy Road into the
City of Winter Springs.
3. The requested rezoning of 2.7 acres of land on MJrphy Road from com-
merCial to multi-family represents a significant down-zoning with
respect to the potential trip generation of the property.
2.
COMMERCIAL USE OF 2.7 ACRES
1.
The only access which could be provided to the 2.7 acre corrmercial
property is direct access to Murphy Road.
Fifty percent of the tra ffi c from the 2.7 acre conrnerc i a 1 property
would pass through the City of Winter Springs.
The magnitude of the traffic impact on the City of Winter Springs
would be three times as much with the commercial use than the proposed
apartment use.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Less apartment traffic will be encouraged to pass through the City of
Winter Springs if the apartment driveway to Murphy Road is not provided.
It is recorrmended that this driveway be eliminated from the site plan. If
a second access point is required for safety reasons, access via Blue Bell
into the City of Casselberry ;s recommended.
Very truly yours,
