(8) Oviedo Marketplace - Notice was provided on April 1, 2005, ofthe Notice of a Proposed
Change (NOPC # 5386) for the Oviedo Marketplace [Mall] development of regional impact
(DRI). The 431.2 acre DRI is located among 3 jurisdictions (218.6 acres in Oviedo, 163 acres
in unincorporated Seminole County, and 49.6 acres in Winter Springs). The NOPC is
proposed to allow 180 town home units to replace 10,000 SF of retail in Parcel 13 (within
Oviedo, but adjacent to Winter Springs - Tuscawilla Units 7 & 13). The build-out date for the
entire DRI is being extended from 12/31/05 to 12/31/07. Pursuant to a May 9, 2005, City
Commission directive to staff, notification was sent to the owners of 103 properties within the
City of Winter Springs. The NOPC for the Oviedo portion was approved by the Oviedo City
Commission on Monday, September 19,2005. The NOPC to change the Winter Spings
portion of the DRI from 160,000 square feet of commercial to 131,000 square feet of
office/commercial and 132 townhomes was heard at the February 1 P & Z meeting (2-2 vote)
and was approved for 100 townhome units at the March 27 Commission meeting. Staffis
working with The Viera Company and two developers on an amendment to the Planned Unit
Development master plan for Parcel 14 to allow development pursuant to the latest NOPC. On
November 15, the Inwood Holding Group submitted conceptual plans for an office center,
without the master plan for Parcel 14. These were reviewed at a December 12 staff review.
The PUD amendment and a lot split request to divide the 15.1 acres into 2 parcels the office
site and a residual were approved at the January 22 Commission. The office center plans

without platting. The applicant has hired a new design team and met with staff on May 31 and
July 8,2005 to summarize outstanding issues. On August 29, staff received an aesthetic
review package. The state required a letter from the City's Local Planning Agency, stating that
crossing the Cross-Seminole Trail with underground utility lines is consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan (approved at the December 6, 2005 LP NP&Z meeting). The incomplete
combined preliminary and final engineering plan submittal was reviewed at the February 7

Building elevations for Building 3 (2 story & 15,620 SF) were approved at the May 9,2005,
City Commission meeting. A discrepancy (between the approved engineering plans and the
architectural plans) has been discovered between the finished floor elevation and adjacent
sidewalk along Tree Swallow Drive. The approved plans depict a stem retaining wall at the
building with a 12 foot wide sidewalk paved from the building to the curb. Staffhas reached
an acceptable design to address the elevation issue and keep the original sidewalk in place. An
aesthetic review of the proposed BeefO'Brady's hanging sign was approved at the March 12
Commission. The tenant build-out floor-plans for Beef O'Brady's have been submitted
and are under review for consistency with applicable life-safety codes.
Building 4 (combination 7,800 SF first floor retail and restaurant with second and third floor
residential condominiums with a fourth floor penthouse suite - 15 residential units) was
approved for aesthetic review on September 12,2005, although the Commission voted to have
the applicant come back to show a combination of 2, 4, and 6 foot deep balconies. The
approved distance between buildings 3 and 4 was amended from 20' I" to approximately 16'
at the September 11 Commission meeting. Revised building plans were submitted on
September 20 and October 12. Meeting Florida Building Code requirements for fourth floor
roof access, within the parameters of the approved aesthetic review, appears to be the primary
hurdle at this point. The applicant has satisfied all outstanding conditions for the issuance of a
building permit. The plans, as permitted, provide this access. The applicant is in the process
of addressing the aesthetic changes to the building. These changes will not affect the building
construction until the building is at the fourth floor level. The building plans will be brought
back to the Commission if additional aesthetic review is necessary because of the stairway
access to the roof. The contractor has encountered compaction issues at the Building 4 site and
has removed the existing soil- moving approximately 4000 cubic yards to the Phase IIA site.
The soil has been replaced with acceptable fill material that will support the proposed building.
Building elevations for Building 16 (11,095 SF) were approved with conditions at the June 13,
2005, City Commission meeting; revisions with a trellis at the west end and other minor
modifications were approved on September 12, 2005. Vertical construction continues. A
major restaurant is considering locating in the east end of the building (closest to Tuskawilla
Road). On July 10, 2006, the Commission approved a minor modification to the west end of
Building 16, to remove one door and move another door at the west end of the building
(adjacent to the circle). The applicant has requested a Certificate of Completion for the shell.
Staffhas compiled a list of inconsistencies between the approved aesthetic review and the
building as it was constructed. Floor-plans (tenant build-outs) for the health-food store and pet
grooming shop have been submitted for review. Window signage for the proposed dance
studio was approved at the February 26,2007 Commission meeting.
The Commission approved a concept elevation of Building 17 (a 26 unit residential
condominium) at the September 12,2005, meeting, noting that a number of site issues (e.g.
parking, access, and the space adjacent to the traffic circle) were to be resolved with the site
plan. An aesthetic review package for a pergola (along with a dumpster enclosure for Building
16), located on the Building 17 site, adjacent to the circle, has been submitted. The concept
site plan and a development agreement were approved at the October 10, 2005, meeting. A
third modification of the applicable development agreement was received without a fee on
March 2. Both the re-plat and modification were addressed at the March 7 staff review. The
March 26, 2007
Information Item 100
Page 6
re-plat was approved at the April 10 Commission meeting and has been recorded. A revised
Building 17 site plan and aesthetic review were approved at the August 28 Commission,
subject to conditions. A ground-breaking ceremony was held on-site on September 28 and the
site work has proceeded to the point that the underground utilities are in place and the parking
lot has been paved. The incomplete building plans that were submitted on October 12 had
aesthetic modifications to the roof-line, first floor elevation along Cliff Rose Drive (labeled
Big Cypress), and the relief at the rear entrance to the building. At a special November 1
meeting the Commission approved the lower first floor elevation along Cliff Rose Drive. The
issues of maintaining the approved roofline and providing access to and from the fourth story
roof as well as HV AC placement are being studied. Staff has met with the applicant/owner
and the architect to resolve numerous building plan issues. Staff is awaiting are-submittal
of the building plans. per 03/26/07 agenda
(14) Blumberg Boulevard & Veterans Memorial- At the January 8, 2007, meeting, the
Commission authorized awarding the contract for the Blumberg Boulevard Median and Trail
Improvement Project to Southeast Enviroscape, Inc. per 01/22/07 agenda
(15) Town Center Phase lIThe Doran team met with staff on June 2,2005, to outline their
plans for 331 apartment and condominium units, 43,000 square feet of retail, 354 structured
parking spaces (multi-level parking garage), and surface parking (on-street and parking lots) on
the east side of Tuskawilla Road. An updated projection by the development team on August
11 divided their proposed development east of Tuskawilla Road into Phase II A and lIB, with
no vertical construction east of the trail bridge, due to wetland issues. Phase II A plans were
submitted on February 7 for 33,452 square feet of retail and 292 residential units on 7.75 acres.
The plans were reviewed at the March 7 staff review. The build-out for phases II A and lIB
totals 400,000 square feet of retail, 300,000 square feet of office, and 700 residential units,
with 2 and possibly 3 parking structures. A Phase II development agreement (DA) was
approved by the City Commission on October 17, 2005, requiring the buildings in Phase II to
be 6 stories high. The DA has conflicting language on building height. Staff is working to
resolve the conflict and the DA will be amended to include language allowing building heights
up to 6 stories. The site plan and aesthetic review package were reviewed at a special April 11
staff review. A site development permit agreement to clear the Phase II A site was approved at
the April 24 Commission meeting. A first round of aesthetic review comments has been
submitted to the applicant. The aesthetic review for Phase IIA was approved at the June 12
Commission meeting. The Phase IIA final engineering was approved at the July 10
Commission meeting, subject to conditions and the implementation agreement. Engineering
plans for Michael Blake Boulevard (a.k.a. Spine Road) were submitted in January 2007,
Staff provided comments on the design during a February 6, 2007 staff review meeting.
Staff is awaiting the re-submittal. per 03/26/07 agenda
(16)Artesian Park (formerly Lincoln Park) - A concept plan for 106 (was 113) town homes on
the 8 acre site, located on the south side of Orange Avenue, between Jesup's Landing (185
units on 17 .15 acres) and Tuskawilla Trace, was approved, subject to conditions by the City
Commission on March 14,2005. The plan depicted roadway connections with Jesup's
Landing, use of the shared alley with Jesup's Landing, 2 boulevards with water features in the
medians, some town homes around a plaza, and some town homes with small back yards and
detached garages. On July 27, the applicant submitted a modified concept plan that included
March 26, 2007
Information Item 100
Page 7
only one boulevard with a median water feature. The revised concept plans were approved at
the October 10, 2005, meeting. Final engineering/subdivision plans were submitted on
November 21 and were reviewed at the December 6 staff review. Dover Kohl, staff, and the
applicant's team have been trying to best address the concept oflive-work units, raised door-
yards, and courtyards at grade (since the applicant has determined that the Brownstone concept
is financially impractical for this site, due to the amount offill material that would need to be
imported). Revised final engineering plans, a traffic analysis, a stormwater report, a geo-
technical report, revised potable water calculations, by-laws, articles of incorporation, and an
ecological report were submitted on March 20 and were addressed at the May 2 staff review.
The applicant's team met with engineering staff on June 9 to discuss the adjacent deep muck
issue and other pertinent construction issues. The final engineering plans were approved at the
June 12 Commission meeting, subject to staff conditions and a development agreement. The
development agreement is proposed to be presented for approval concurrent with the aesthetic
review by the Commission. Staff has met with the owner as recently as March 7, 2007, to
discuss minor changes to the building architecture and site engineering. per 03/26/07
agenda.
(17) Jesup's Landing (previouslyBarclay II and then Jessup Reserve) - 185 Units. At its
October 11, 2004, meeting, the City Commission approved a concept plan for as many as 207
town house units with rear-loaded 2 car garages and 128 on-street parking spaces on 17.15
acres along the south side of Orange Avenue. A development agreement and revised concept
plan for 185 units were approved at the February 28 City Commission meeting. On May 9 the
City Commission approved the Town Center Phase I Site Development Permit Agreement.
The final engineering/subdivision plans were approved at the June 27 City Commission
meeting. The aesthetic review was approved at the September 26,2005, City Commission
meeting. Revisions to the final engineering plans (addressing specimen trees, bus shelter, &
lift station) were approved at the October 10, 2005, meeting. The final plat for Jesup's
Landing was approved at the 11/14/05 City Commission meeting. On November 30, staffmet
with both the Jesup's Landing and Artesian Park development teams, to discuss the shared
alley easement that both subdivisions will use. The Jesup's Landing final plat revision was
approved by the City Commission at the January 9 meeting, to incorporate minor
modifications, based on discussions and negotiations between the two developers and the City,
regarding an easement along the project's eastern property line. Porch and stoop
encroachments into common areas may require another re-plat, as in Jesup's Reserve. At its
July 10 meeting, the Commission reviewed information on the proposed use of "geo-foam"
underneath four buildings to address the muck situation. The applicant subsequently notified
staffthat it will not pursue the geo-foam option, opting instead to leave those specific portions
of the site as open-space. per 3/12/07 agenda
(18) Orange Avenue - On March 27,2006, the Commission voted to appropriate $821,382 for
the design and construction of Orange Avenue, from Tuskawilla Road to Central Winds Park
(Jesup's Landing and Artesian Park are both dependent upon reconstruction of Orange Avenue
- a preconstruction conference for Orange Avenue was held on May 3,2006. At its July 10,
2006, meeting, the Commission denied a request to extend the Orange Avenue reconstruction
approximately 145 feet west of the approved western bounds of construction. Staffhas noted
issues regarding the installation of trees in the ROW to the contractor. The paving was
completed before the holidays and crews have focused on trees, irrigation, landscaping, and the
