(407) 327-1800
REQUEST:
For the local Planning Agency to review and recommend additional requested changes to
the City's Comprehensive Plan Traffic Circulation Element Data, Inventory & Analysis
section and Goals, Objectives and Policies section. As indicated in SUPPLEMENT NO.1
TO CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS TRANSPORTATION STUDY - December, 1999.
PURPOSE:
The City previously intended to update the Traffic Circulation Element based on the
results of the completed City of Winter Springs Transportation Study prepared by
Conklin, Porter & Holmes. The contents of the Study are intended to replace completely
the current text and maps in the Traffic Circulation Element Volume 1 of2 and
Volume 2 of2. Since that time, the Town Center Concept has required a further revision
of the Updated Traffic Circulation Element Volume 1 of2 and 2 of2.
CHRONOLOGY:
*
City of Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan adopted on April 27, 1992.
.
City Commission on November 13, 1996, hired Conklin, Porter & Holmes to
prepare update of the Traffic Circulation Element of the City's Comprehensive

Supplement to LG-CP A-1-97
· In March, 1998, the City Commission contracts with another Master Developer of
the Town Center, Joshi & Associates. Rohit Joshi proposed expanding the Town
Center to approximately 1,000 acres, extending to the beltway, as well as including
verious properties on the south side of S.R. 434.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
· The ORC Report on the Update to the Traffic circulation Element has been
received from DCA and Conklin, Porter and Holmes, the City's Transportation
consultant, has developed the response to it.
· The Update to the Traffic Circulation Element based on the City of Winter Springs
Transportation Study. August. 1997, was delayed for adoption 1998 due to: (1)
the new Town Center Concept Plan adopted by the Commission, (2) and later the
new Master Developer's desire to expand the Town Center Concept.
· DCA is now reviewing the proposed large scale comprehensive plan amendment
LG-CPA-I-98 which involves the creation ofa Town Center District on the Future
Land Use Map along with a vision statement, goal, objectives, and policies for the
new district.
· While it is not a requirement that the Local Planning Agency review any changes
to the proposed amendment (Update to the Traffic Circulation Element) after an
ORC has been issued by the Department of Community Affairs, City staff believes
it is appropriate never-the-Iess to bring such additional changes before the LPA for
their further review and recommendation to the City Commission.
· It is expected that DCA will send the ORC Report on the proposed Town Center
large scale comprehensive plan amendment by mid-March. Staff will respond to
any objections or recommendations in the ORe Report and schedule a second
(adoption) public hearing on the Town Center amendment in April. Because of the
relatedness of the Update to the Traffic Circulation Element plan amendment,
based on the Winter Springs Transportation Study. August. 1997 and its
supplement (Supplement No.1) to the Town Center plan amendment, it is
recommended that the LP A review and make recommendation on Supplement
No. 1 to the City Commission for the April adoption public hearing.

FUNDING:
The City paid Conklin, Porter & Holmes for the update of the Traffic Circulation Element
from the Transportation Impact Fee, and now paid CPH for Supplement NO.1 to City of
Winter Springs Transportation Study, dated December, 1999.
II. SUMMARY OF SUPPLEMENT NO.1 TO THE CITY OF
WINTER SPRINGS TRANSPORTATION STUDY, DATED
DECEMBER 1999:
The City of Winter springs Transportation Study, dated August, 1997, identified no deficiencies in
the transportation infrustructure of the City's local system for the projected 2010 traffic loadings.
Roadways identified for improvements included U.S. 17-92, S.R. 434, Seminola Boulevard, Lake
Drive, and Tuskawilla Road which are under the control of the County and FDOT. U.S. 17-92 is
under final construction of a six-lane improvement project from Shepard Road (Winter springs)
south to Melody Lane (Casselberry). State Road 434 has been improved to four (4) lanes from
S.R. 419 to the GreeneWay (S.R. 417). Seminola Boulevard has been improved to four (4) lanes,
Tuskawilla Road has been improved to four (4) lanes divided and Lake Drive is currently under
design for four (4) lanes, divided. This supplement updates the 1997 study to acknowledge these
improvements and the ones also constructed by the City. No changes were made to the land use,
existing uses, or projected development.
It has become evident that a collector road system is required for the undeveloped area east of the
City Hall. This area has been designated as the Town Center and is scheduled for growth within
the planning period. A roadway collector system has been identified to serve this area. Since
these roads are for new growth, the funding is projected to come from the transportation impact
fee. This collector system is shown on the attached revised drawings.
NOTE:
Only updated materials are attached to this supplement. Since the growth
projections have not been revised, the overall traffic study remains valid.
NOTE:
Terry Zadtke, Conklin Porter & Holmes, will give a presentation on the
Supplement NO.1 to the City of Winter Springs Transportation Study
August 1997.
