The Future Land Use Map shall contain an adequate diversity of lands for residential uses to meet the future demand for residential densities identified in the Housing Element. Density Bonuses. The City's Code of Ordinances may provide for up to a twenty-five percent increase in the. maximum permitted density of residential and intensity of commercial or industrial development where exceptional provisions are made for buffers, landscaping, open space, and protection of existing native trees. Provision of such additional amenities shall be in addition to minimum requirements. Recreation and Open Space. Public or private lands may be designated as recreation and open space. If the facility is not resourced- based, a maximum of 25% impervious area shall be allowed in areas designated as Recreation and Open Space to ensure their protection, proper development and future public use and benefit. Urban infill areas may have development exceptions. If development occurs in this land use category, it should be for a public benefit. Conservation Overlay. Properties that are designated as Consetvation Overlay areas may potentially contain wildlife habitat areas, hydric soils/wetlands (as defmed in the Conservation Element), special vegetative communities, areas within a public water well radii of 500 feet, 100 year floodplain areas, and other areas subject to environmental or topographic constraints. Conservation Overlay areas are subject to the following conditions for approval: · A final determination of the suitability for development of any individual parcel, as it relates to a Conservation Overlay area on the Future Land Use Map, shall be determined prior to issuance of any development approval. · The Consetvation Overlay area on the Future Land Use Map is not to be considered the exact boundaty of the conservation area, but to act as an indicator of a potential consetvation area.

INTRODUCTION Recreation is defined as refreshment in body or mind by some form of play, amusement, or relaxation and is essential to our overall well-being. Realizing this, the City of Winter Springs strives to provide all citizens with access to recreation facilities and open space areas. The City's lead office in charge of adequately designating parklands and providing public recreation opportunities is the Parks and Recreation Department. The purpose of this element is to identify open space and recreation facilities, establish level of service standards for the provision of such facilities, and analyze current and projected park and recreational needs based on population projections and the established level of service standards. This element also contains specific goals, objectives, and policies to guide the provision of recreation and open space facilities through the year 2020. B. INVENTORY OF EXISTING RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE FACILITIES Parks conserve open space and natural resources and provide recreation opportunities. In general, parks are categorized as being either activity-based or resource-based. Activity-based parks provide user-oriented, recreation facilities designed for a specific purpose such as tennis, basketball, softball or soccer, while resource-based parks utilize the natural environment to provide more passive activities such as picnicking, hiking, fishing, swimming, or boating. The City of Winter Springs provides a wide range of recreation opportunities to its residents. The City's park inventory includes a total of 11 parks where citizens can enjoy both active and passive forms of recreation. 1. Parks and Open Spa~e At present, the Winter Springs park system includes 11 parks, encompassing approximately 173.13 acres of public parklands. Table VI- 1 shows an inventory of existing parks and their facilities in the City of Winter Springs. Map VI- 1 shows the location of these parks. City parks have been classified based on a hierarchy of park facilities in order to better determine the level of recreation and open space opportunities available to City residents. The classification and standards for the different types of parks were derived from the standards recommended by the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Outdoor Recreation in Florida - 1994, Florida's Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan). A description of the characteristics of each park-type is also included in the plan. Only sites that are officially designated as public parks have been included in this section. Vacant public lands and open space normally found in medians, buffers, retention areas and the like are not included. As noted on Table VI- 1, some City parks offer passive recreation opportunities while others offer active recreation. Some parks may offer both, as is the case of Central Winds Park, Ranchlands Park, and Sam Smith Park, all of which offer active recreational facilities as well as passive areas for fishing and picnicking. 7/24/01 DRAFT VI-1 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT a. Regional Parks Regional Parks are large, resource-based parks serving more than two conununities and often consisting of an area of natural or ornamental quality for outdoor recreation, such as picnicking, trails, boating, fishing, swimming and camping. They are usually located no more than an hour's driving distance of the residents they serve. The park should serve a population of over 100,000 and should range in size from a minimum of 250 acres to as much as several thousand acres. . The City relies on the State and the County for the provision and maintenance of regional parks. There are two regional resource based parks accessible to the City of Winter Springs residents - the Wekiva Springs State Park and Blue Springs State Park. Additionally, the State and the St. John's River Water Management District recently purchased 2,100 acres within the Econlockhatchee River Acquisition Area. In addition, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection owns, and has sub-leased to Seminole County, the Cross Seminole Trail, a portion of which is located in Winter Springs. An lnterlocal Agreement exists between the City of Winter Springs and Seminole County regarding use and maintenance of the. Cross Seminole Trail. The City of Winter Springs Parks and Recreation Department assisted with the design of the restroom facility located at the Black Hammock trailhead, located within the jurisdictional limits of the City, and is responsible for the maintenance and cleaning of the restroom facility. The trail currently runs from Gardenia Avenue in Winter Springs to the intersection of State Road 434 and State Road 426 in downtown Oviedo, but will eventually run from Spring Hanunock Preserve in Winter Springs to Howell Branch Road at the Orange County Line and will connect 5 parks; Central Winds Park, S~eetwater Creek Park, Torcaso Park, Lawto~ House Park, and Spring Hammock. The trail will also connect six schools: Winter Springs High School, Indian Trails Middle School, Keeth Elementary, Trinity Preparatory School, Oviedo High School, and Lawton Elementary. When complete, the Cross Seminole Trail will connect to the Seminole Wekiva Trail, creating a 30-mile continuous trail through Altamonte Springs, Longwood, Lake Mary, Winter Springs, and Oviedo; and with the Cady Way Trail and the Orange County Trail System. Map VI- 2 depicts existing and future portions of the Cross Seminole Trail. b. Community Parks Conununity parks are defined as "ride to" parks that should be located near major streets or arterials. Community parks are designed to serve the needs of four to six neighborhoods that have residents within a radius of up to three (3) miles. Typical facilities found in community parks are designed to serve the entire family and include both passive and active recreation opportunities such as playground areas, recreation buildings, sports fields, paved multipurpose courts, picnic areas, open or free play areas, swimming pools, and landscaping. Community parks within the City include: Central Winds Park, Sunshine Park, Torcaso Park, Trotwood Park, and Bear Creek Nature Trail. VI-10 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT The breakdown of park acreage by type presents situations in which some parks may fall under more than one category. Central Winds Park, which is located on Lake J esup, for instance, has been classified as a community park, due to its geographic area of 68-acres and the type of recreational facilities and activities offered. However, numerous civic festivals and special events are held in the park, drawing citizens from all over Seminole County and the Central Florida area. For this reason, Central Winds Park has been locally considered a regional park. This park offers competition quality baseball, softball, and soccer fields, which are reserved for league-play only, as well as volleyball courts, miniature golf course, horseshoes, playground, concession stand, the City's Parks & Recreation Office, and restrooms. Additionally, a passive area located on the west side includes a fishing area, pavilions, picnic grills, and an amphitheatre. Special use facilities are designed to serve the unique recreational needs of certain population groups, and for practical purposes, can be classified as community parks. One example found within the City of Winter Springs is Bear Creek Nature Trail, which parallels Bear Creek and includes two small bridges and three picnic tables. This facility provides very pleasant passive recreation opportunities, such as a leisurely stroll and a picnic. Sunshine Park could also be classified as special use facility since it is the home of the Winter Springs Senior and Civic Centers, which cater to the elderly and the very young. c. Neighborhood Parks Neighborhood Parks are "walk to" parks that are generally located along streets where people can walk or bicycle without encountering heavy traffic. They serve the population of a neighborhood in a radius of up to three- fourths (3/4) of a mile. A neighborhood park size usually ranges from 2 to 10 acres. Typical facilities provided include playground areas, recreation buildings, sports fields, paved multi-purpose courts, picnic areas, open or free play areas, and landscaping. There are five neighborhood parks in the City: which include Moss Park, Sam Smith Park, Winding Hollow Park, Oak Hollow Park, and RancWands Park. This count does not include those parks classified as community parks, which also offer those facilities normally found in neighborhood parks. d. Mini-Parks (Tot-Lots) Mini-parks are small facilities that serve a concentrated or limited population, as well as specific groups such as toddlers. Mini parks, which include tot-lots, are designed to serve the needs of a neighborhood within a radius of up to six (6) blocks. A minimum of one half (1/2) acre for each stand-alone park is recommended. However, they may be incorporated into larger parks such as neighborhood or community parks. Mini-parks primarily offer passive recreation and typical facilities provided include playground areas, benches, open space, picnic tables, and landscaping. Fruitwood Park is currently the only milli- park in Winter Springs. However, most of the neighborhood and community parks offer the facilities VI-l1 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT typically found in tot-lots and mini-parks. For that reason, the City has not established a level of service standard based on population for this category of park. Adequate provision of mini parks and tot-lots will be measured through service area standards (see section on service area standards). e. Open Space Open space is defined as any land or water surface that affords unobstructed physical movement, and is relatively free of human-made structural mass. Open space can be classified in two ways, as either green open space or as urban open space. Green open space may include parks, golf courses, agricultural lands, conservation lands, or vacant lands. For example, the City of Winter Springs received a donation of 69.5 acres of public property known as the Mikes donation. This property was dedicated as parkland, but is undevelopable, as the property is composed of wetlands, and therefore has been set aside as a nature preserve. Also, some parks such as Sam Smith and Winding Hollow include wooded areas that are not currently used for active recreation. Urban open space, on the other hand, exists principally to intersperse congested urban environments with aesthetically pleasing buffer areas, to protect natural resources, and to provide passive recreation opportunities. Urban open space may include plazas, courtyards, playgrounds, and also the area covered by lakes, streams and canals. These areas are typically located within built-up areas and, in some cases, may offer benches, commemorative structures, trails, or paths. Either type of open space can be publicly or privately owned. Since open space is a fundamental element in land classification, as well as land use planning and resource management, these areas are not considered public parks but have been included in the level of service standard calculations as part of the overall parklands. f. County Facilities Seminole County operates and maintains several park and open space facilities that are available to the citizens of Winter Springs. The county parks closest to Winter Springs, in addition to the Cross Seminole Trail, are Red Bug Lake Park and Soldiers Creek Park. Red Bug Lake Park is a 60-acre community park adjacent to the 28-acre Red Bug Lake. This park is located 2 miles east of State Road 436 on Red Bug Lake Road and offers picnicking, playgrounds, fishing, boating, tennis, racquetball, basketball, sand volleyball, softball, flag football, soccer, exercise trail, pavilions, and restrooms. Soldiers Creek Park is a 315-acre park adjacent to the Spring Hammock Preserve, 1 mile east of U.S. 17-92 on State Road 419. This park offers soccer fields and ball fields, which are used by community groups for youth baseball and softball. An inventory of Seminole County parks can be found in Table VI- 2. VI-12 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT g. School Facilities The City of Winter Springs maintains two Interlocal Agreements with the School Board of Seminole County. The first agreement states that the two parties concur to collectively utilize the recreational and educational facilities of Winter Springs High School. The second agreement states that the County is willing to permit the city to use a portion of a site purchased by the School Board for construction, operation and maintenance of recreation playing fields as part of the City's recreation program. The site is located near the intersection of State Road 434 and State Road 419, behind Seminole County's bus storage facility. The City recognizes that the use of the site is temporary and will be terminated upon demand of the School Board. 2. Private Facilities Some recreational facilities and services such as bowling alleys, golf courses, movie theatres, arcades, etc. are provided by the private sector, and are available to the public through a membership or a fee. The provision this type of recreational resources is normally based on market studies. Therefore, it can be assumed that the quantity of such resources will increase as the city's population increases. The following are some of those private recreational facilities within and around the City of Winter Springs: . Tuscawilla Country Club 1500 Winter Springs Blvd. . Winter Springs Golf Club 900 State Road 434 . Florida Airboat Association, Inc. 200 N. Cortez Ave. . Gold's Gym 5852 Red Bug Lake Rd. . Martial Arts World 5880 Red Bug Lake Rd. . United Theatres of Florida, Inc. 1-4 & HW 436, Altamonte Springs . AMC Interstate Theatres 473 Cardinal Oaks Ct., Lake Mary . Regal Cinema Oviedo Crossing 22 1500 Oviedo Mktpl. Blvd, Oviedo Other private recreational facilities are found in residential developments within Winter Springs. The facilities provided typically include community/exercise rooms, pools, tennis courts, etc. Some of the developments providing this type of recreation are listed on Table VI- 3. These facilities have been included in the analysis of park servIce areas. The City is currendy drafting a proposed Concurrency Ordinance, as an amendment to the City's existing Code. The amendment, if adopted, will require that open space and recreational facilities necessary to serve a development be in place before additional development can occur. If the development satisfies the LOS standards for community parkland, then the development shall be deemed concurrent for community parks and a certificate shall be issued. However, if a residential development causes or continues to cause the level of service for community parks VI-13 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT not to be concurrent, the developer shall pay the City a fair share community parks and recreation impact fee, as established by the City Commission by resolution. c. ANALYSIS Specific recreational demands do not remain constant over time. As the population demographics change, recreational demands change. Attitudes and opinions can be drastically altered from a shift in the demographic makeup of a community. Therefore, it is necessary to assess recreational needs and future demands for facilities in order to plan for the future. 1. Types of Recreational Facilities The City of Winter Springs' population is projected to increase by over 33,806 in the next two decades. According to the 1990 Census, the median age has increased in the last decade from 31 to 34, as has the percentage of persons aged 65 or older (6.9% in 1980 vs..9.2% in 1990). This trend is expected to continue through the long-term planning period. As a result, the City should continue to add to the passive recreation facilities as well as to the active ones. To accurately reflect changes in public demand, tools are needed to identify them. One method is to sUlVey the citizens for their input. The City has conducted several informal sUlVeys, many of which have not been documented. However, the City commissioned a very thorough sUlVey in July of 1990 that questioned residents about the recreational activities they practiced on a regular basis. The results were as follows: Swimming 8.0% Attending Fairs 6.0% Walking/Hiking 7.0% Attending Sports Events 5.6% Bicycling 6.3% Jogging/Running 5.6% Sightseeing 6.3% Picnicking 4.7% According to the 1990 sUlVey, the most needed facilities were as follows: Playground Equipment Baseball Fields Swimming Pools Bike Paths 21.4% 15.0% 14.3% 10.5% Tennis Courts Walking/Hiking Paths Softball Fields Soccer Fields 10.2% 6.9% 6.6% 6.4% 2. Level of Service Standards Levels of service standards are a measure for determining the specific types and amounts of parklands necessary to accommodate the recreational needs of local communities. The criteria define the acreage, facility type, and service area requirements for various types of recreation sites and areas. The following is an analysis of those standards developed in the 1992 Comprehensive Plan as well as new LOS standards to be adopted by the City, based on the changes seen in population demographics and preferences. a. Parks and Open Space As noted previously, the classification of parkland into the various categories is difficult when most of the parks in the City can fit more than one category. For that VI-14 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT purpose, the City is now adopting a level of service for overall parkland, and will start using a combined standard for community and neighborhood parks, and a level of service based on service area for mini parks/tot-lots. The City recognizes that setting a combined level of service may cause certain deficient areas to be overlooked. Therefore, the City will also establish minimum distance guidelines for community and neighborhood park service areas. This standard will help identify the general areas where new community and neighborhood parks need to be located. Table VI- 4 shows the level of service standards for parks, and indicates current surpluses and deficiencies. The table also contains standards for park size, location and population. The City will continue to rely on the State and Seminole County for the provision of larger regional-type parks, and therefore, will not be adopting a level of service standard for Regional Parks. b. Recreational Facilities Recreational level of service standards are developed to assist planners in creating a measurable system of determining when additional facilities are needed to keep pace with public demand. The City did adopt specific level of service standards for recreational facilities in 1992, and is not adopting them as part of this amendment. However, recommended standards are now being included in this plan to establish a guideline for the City to follow as new parks are developed. The recommended guidelines are based on the DNR guidelines, adjusted to fit the characteristics of the City residents. Table VI- 5 shows an inventory of recreational facilities and the surpluses and deficiencies based on current population estimates and the recommended guidelines. 3. Service Areas a. Regional Parks Considering the proximity of Soldier's Creek Park to the City residents, Winter Springs currendy has sufficient regional park facilities to accommodate its citizens for this planning period, Regional Parks are normally provided by either the County or the State, and consequendy, will not be assigned a level of service in this Comprehensive Plan b. Community Parks Three (3) mile service area radii were drawn around existing community parks to identify those areas that are currently deficient in this type of park. Map VI- 3 shows that the City is well served and no new community parks will be needed in the future based on service area standards. c. Neighborhood Parks Three quarter (3/4) mile service radii were drawn around existing neighborhood parks to identify those areas that are deficient in this type of park. Map VI- 3 shows that the neighborhood park service area radii was also drawn around some VI-15 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT Community Parks, because these parks also include the facilities normally found in neighborhood parks. Map VI- 3 shows deficiencies in a few areas, especially on the east side of the City. Population served by a neighborhood facility needs to be determined when making decisions regarding the location of a recreation site. The eastern portion of the City is lacking in recreational facilities, and it is anticipated these areas will be the target areas for the location of new neighborhood parks[LDII). d. Mini Parks Instead of setting a level of service standard based on population for mini parks, the City will start using a standard based on service area. Map VI- 3 shows six-block wide service areas drawn around existing mini parks and also those parks that contain playgrounds and other facilities typically found in tot-lots. Private mini parks and tot-lots in residential developments are not shown on the map. Some of the private facilities within residential developments that can be considered mini parks due to their acreage include the following: Chelsea Park, Georgetown Park, Howell Creek Reserve, Indian Ridge, Seasons Park, and Tuscany Place Park. Based on the adopted service area standard and the location of mini parks in the City, there is a deficiency in several areas of the City. This can be resolved by requiring new development to either provide parkland, or .if not concurrent with the ordinance, to consequentially pay impact fees. The goal in the next few years will be to provide public mini parks either as individual sites or as part of larger parks, to encourage the provision of this type of facility by the private sector as part of new residential developments, and to reach an agreement with the school board regarding the use of school recreational facilities by the general public. 4. Special Groups Recreational Needs Special recreation groups are recognized as a large portion of the Winter Springs recreational facility users. The elderly (65 and over), the young (25 and under), and the handicapped are all currendy provided with accessible recreation facilities. The elderly are afforded the Senior Center Complex, a 4000 square foot facility, located at Sunshine Park. The Complex includes a kitchen, restrooms, great room, arts and crafts room, conference room, lounge area, and two offices. The Center is operated by a senior organization and a membership can be obtained for a nominal fee (approximately $2/year). Members can utilize the Senior Center to enjoy the following activities: Arts & Crafts Dance Classes Bingo/ Card Playing Lunch on Wednesdays and Fridays Charity Benefits Movies Social Functions Medical Examinations The young are afforded the Civic Center Complex, a 4000 square foot facility, also located at Sunshine Park and connected to the Senior Center by a covered breezeway. This facility includes a commercial type kitchen, reStrooms, stage, and dance floor. The Civic Center offers many recreational opportunities for the young, including the Winter Springs Summer VI-16 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE 'PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT Youth Program, which runs for 8 to 1 0 weeks and enrolls 70 children. During the program, children have the opportunity to participate in activities such as trips and tours, swimming, arts and crafts, and outdoor games. Additionally, the Civic Center offers meeting space for Boy / Girl Scouts, civic, religious and private organizations, charity benefits, City meetings/training/parties, homeowners associations, 4H (Head, Heart, Hands, & Health), etc. The Civic Center Complex also offers rental of the facility for weddings, receptions and parties. Both, the Senior Center and the Civic Center Complexes, are wheelchair accessible, as are many of the City's parks. Central Winds Park, in particular, was designed to meet all ADA requirements regarding accessibility for persons with disabilities. All of the City's parks provide parking for persons with disabilities and most provide paved paths and pavilions that are wheelchair accessible. 5. Provision of Future Recreation and Open Space Facilities Parklands serve two purposes, conserve open space and natural resources, and provide outdoor recreational opportunities. Conservation of open space through the acquisition of recreation areas is one of the best means for conserving open space. Demand for outdoor recreation opportunities can be met by providing parks for resource-based pursuits such as boating or picnicking, as well as parks for active user-oriented pursuits such as tennis, baseball, and shuffleboard. Table VI -6 and Table VI- 7 show projections of parkland and recre2tional facility needs through the year 2020 based on level of service standards and population projections. The City does not expect to have parkland deficiencies within the planning period in terms of acreage per population. Existing park acreage within Winter Springs should be maintained and utilized to their highest and best use.~New parklands will be acquired only in those areas determined to be higWy deficient in park acreage. By utilizing data from the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan, the City of Winter Springs has targeted those general areas with high residential growth rates for the addition of park acreage. These areas are geographically displayed on Map VI- 4. Each new park will be designated as either mini-park or neighborhood park, and will have a minimum park size and service radius consistent with the adopted standards. As shown on Table VI- 7, based on the recommended level of service standards, the City had adequate recreational facilities to serve the population of the City in 2000. There will be some deficiencies starting in 2005, for facilities such as bikeways, handball/racquetball and tenniS[LDl2J. 6. Access to Recreational Sites and Facilities Access to existing parks is well suited to many special needs groups. Special considerations will need to be addressed on a site-by-site basis, for deficiencies in the special access needs of these groups. For example, while people with disabilities are provided parking areas at most of the parks, and wheelchair accessibility is provided in many, internal access to facilities is still limited in a few of the City's parks. Each special needs group has particular access VI -17 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT problems which will need to be addressed. Consideration to these access issues will need to be given at the time of new park development. The existing system of neighborhood and passive parks affords access to cyclists and pedestrians, as the parks are numerous and dispersed in residential areas throughout the City. And bicycle path facilities will continue to be designed so as to join recreational areas together with residential areas to upgrade the accessibility for all citizens to recreation areas. Access issues will be addressed specifically within the Goals, Objectives and Policies of this Element. 7. Public Participation in Recreation Planning The City has provided numerous opportunities for cItiZen input into the recreational planning of the City. The Parks and Recreation Department has held a number of public meetings, during which time, citizens were able to contribute their ideas and make requests for future recreational opportunities.

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT CHAPTER II TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT A. INTRODUCTION The City of Winter Springs is located within an urbanized portion of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) - Metroplan Orlando. Therefore, the City is required by the State to adopt a Transportation Element, as opposed to a Traffic Circulation Element, and to coordinate the element with the long-range transportation plan of the MPO. The purpose of the Transportation Element is to plan for a multi~modal transportation system that emphasizes accessibility by placing emphasis on public transportation systems; encourages the development of compact, pedestrian-oriented urban areas; promotes energy efficient development patterns; and protects air quality. The City hired Conklin, Porter and Holmes Engineers, Inc. in 1997 to update the traffic study submitted as part of the Comprehensive Plan in 1982. The traffic study was again updated in 1999. LDI was hired by the City to put together the Transportation Element, which incorporates not only the traffic portion prepared by CPH, but also the pedestrian, bicycle, mass transit and other components of a true multi-modal system. An essential base for planning a transportation system is the Future Land Use Element. The Future Land Use Map will determine where new or improved transportation facilities may be needed. The Transportation Element will assess the condition and capacity of the existing transportation facilities, project future needs, set Levels of Service (LOS) standards for roads and determine futur.e . system improvements. Roadway level of service standards will be established to ensure that adequate facility capacity for future development is concurrently sufficient with the issuance of developmer;lt orders and development pennits. These standards will be established for each roadway link consistent with the facility type, and current Florida Department of Transportation (FD01) LOS guidelines. The transportationplanriing process in Seminole County is a joint effort among various federal, state, regional, county and municipal agencies working together with the MPO. This agency ensures that highways, public transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and other transportation facilities are coordinated and planned cpnsistent with planned development in the urbanized area. MetroPlan Orlando prepares the Orlando Urban Area Transportation Study (OUA TS) Year 2020 Transportation Plan Update, a '20-year multi-modal plan for guiding transportation improvements in the Orlando urban area (Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties). The plan is based on regional needs identified through the process of forecasting future travel demand, evaluating system alternatives, and selecting those options which best meet the mobility needs of the region. The plan recommends road, highway, beltway, rail, and transit system improvements to be implemented by 2020. The plan represents the best combination of financial resources and improvements to meet the goals and objectives of the study. B. INVENTORY An efficient transportation system should provide access to various land uses through alternative transportation modes. The overview of the existing multi-modal transportation system within the DRAFT II-l ,', " CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT City of Winter Springs provides the basis for analyzing existing transportation deficiencies and needs within the City. This section will identify existing roadway and transit facilities, availability of public parking facilities, airport and rail line systems, availability of bicycle and pedestrian facilities and other ancillary services and programs. 1. Road System This section describes the major roadway facilities within the City and their relative function to the City's circulation system. The main roads in and around the City are the Greeneway, S.R. 434, S.R. 419, U.S. 17-92, Red Bug Lake Road, and Tuskawilla Road. Located in south- central Seminole County in a suburban residential setting, the City's major roadways provide access to neighboring towns for Winter Springs residents and employees and facilitate the flow of traffic. All the major roads in the City are listed on Table II- 1 and displayed on Map II- 1. The following is a description of the major roadways in the City ofW'mter Springs. · Central Florida Greeneway (S.R. 417): The Greeneway is a north-south Principal Arterial located along the eastern boundary of the City, which provides access to Sanford to the north and Orange County to the south. In Seminole County, it is currently a ~..1it?i~J]!({m!l1Ithat serves traffic coming into and out of the County. · u.s. 17-92: North-south principal arterial located along the west boundary of the City. It connects with Sanford to the north and Orange County to the south. The route passes through Orlando, Wmter Park, Maitland, Casselbeny, Longwood, Winter Springs, Lake Mary and Sanford. It is currently a four-lane undivided facility within the City of Winter Springs. · S.R. 434: A principal arterial that runs from Edgewater Drive near Orlando to Altamonte Springs, then east to Oviedo, and then south to East Colonial Drive (Waterford Lakes area). S.R. 434 within the City of Winter Springs is a four-lane facility. · S.H. 419: A minor arterial that runs from S.R. 434 in Winter Springs to U.S. 17-92 near Lake Mary. Within the City of Winter Springs, it is a two-lane undivided facility. · Tuskawilla Road: A County minor arterial that runs from S.R. 434 in Wmter Springs to S.R. 426 near the Orange County line. This road is currently being widened to a ~qr~I~~~facility. a, Jurisdiction and Maintenance Responsibility Map II - 1 show the jurisdictional responsibility of each roadway in the City of Wmter Springs. There are four state roadways, S.R. 417, U.S. 17-92, S.R. 434 and S.R. 419; and one County roadway, T uskawilla Road. Several major roadway segments under City jurisdiction have also been included in the classification. b. Functional Classification Table II- 1 and Map II- 1 show the functional classification of major roads in the City of Winter Springs. The functional classification of public roads in this element DRAFT II-2 ,oJ L' l' CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT is based on FDOT criteria, which considers quantitative and qualitative factors such as jurisdiction, land access, route length, and trip lengths. A road hierarchy is used to identify relative importance of roads within the system, provide guidance for level of service and design standards, aid in establishing improvement priorities, identify maintenance responsibility, and assist in determining funding and financing policies. The hierarchy used in this element includes: . (1) Limited Access Facilities: Designed to provide regional mobility via uninterrupted flow at high travel speeds for regional trips. Access spacing is generally on the order of one mile or more, and average travel speeds are above 40 miles per hour. There is no direct land access, and urban freeways are multi-lane, divided facilities. Lane access is always via ramps to major arterials or frontage roads. S.R. 417,. Central. Florida. Greeneway, ~ltith1mfpD~__~~ac:JJ l~frast~t~;;I1i.g~i.ilY~~EI~ll is the only limited access facility within the City of Winter Springs. . (2) Arlen'als: Provide regional mobility via both uninterrupted flow and interrupted. flow segments. Arterials provide mobility around and through urban and community cores, and accommodate relatively long trip lengths as opposed to providing access to adjacent properties. Arterials are further classified for performance as Class I, II, and III based on the number of signals per mile, access controls, geometric cross sections, and speed limits. Arterial roads within the City include S.R.434, U.S. 17-92, S.R. 419, and TuskawillaRoad. (3) Collectors: Provide for movement between local streets and the arterial network. Collectors serve residential, commercial and industrial areas. (4) Local roads: Provide direct access to abutting properties. Local roads accommodate traffic originating in or traveling to properties within a neighborhood, commercial or industrial development. Local roads are not considered part of the major thoroughfare system. c. Constrained Facilities Section 339.155, Florida Statutes, makes governmental police powers available to preserve and protect property necessary for transportation corridors and recommends that needed right-of-way be acquired as far in advance of construction as possible. FDOT requests that local governments identify constrained roadways in their comprehensive plans to ensure maintenance of the operating conditions, so that significant degradation in the level of .service does not occur. A constrained roadway is one in which adding two or more through lanes to meet current or future needs is not possible due [Q physical, environmental or policy barriers. DRAFT II.J r). ''t" . ( CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT The City and the County have not identified any constrained roads within the City limits. d. Accident Locations Accident analysis is critical because it provides a tool for City and state officials to recommend appropriate safety measures. Accident frequency along with roadway perfonnancecan be used to prioritize future roadway needs. Table II - 5 shows accident data for the period between May 2000 and May 2001, compiled by the Wmter Springs Police Department. It shows those road segments with 5 accidents . or more during that year. The road segment with the largest number of accidents was S.R. 434 at S.R. 419 with 11 accidents. e. Signalized Intersections The location of signalized intersections is shown on Map IT- 2. Most of the intersections in the City use stop signs rather than traffic signals. Traffic lights are located mainly along SR. 434. f. Evacuation Routes The City of Winter Springs adopted the Peace Time Emergency Plan in 1997. The plan outlines responsibilities for all departments in the City in the case of a man- made or natural disaster of local scale. For large-scale disasters, the City follows the County's Comprehensive Emergency Plan. This plan does not identify evacuation routes, as Seminole County is a "receiving area", but lists the shelters available. There are currently 2 shelters in Winter Springs (Wmter Springs High School and Highlands Elementary School). .2. Public Transit System The fixed route bus transit system in Seminole County is operated by LYNX, which serves three counties. There is cciTently one bUS transit route serving the City of Wmter Springs, Route #39, and one route that goes to the Oviedo Marketplace area (Route #47). Route 39 runs along U.S. 17-92 from Fern Park to Sanford. There are no covered bus stops in the City. Map II- 3 shows the bus transit route, major transit generators and attractors, and transit service area (estimated at 1/4 mile distance from transit route). Table II- 6 shows the public transit characteristics and ridership figures for 1999 and 2000. The major transit generators/ attractors in and around the City of Winter Springs include the U.S. 17-92 commercial corridor, the Oviedo Marketplace commercial area, schools and public offices. In the future, the Town Center and Greenway Interchange mixed-use area will also become major traffic attractors. 3. Parking System At this time, the City of Winter Springs does not have any significant public parking DRAFT II-4 ~' .., , CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT facilities. 4. Bicycle System The Florida Department of Environmental Protection owns, and has sub-leased to Seminole County, the Cross Seminole Trail, a portion of which is located in Winter Springs. An Interlocal Agreement exists between the City of Winter Springs and Seminole County regarding use and maintenance of the Cross Seminole Trail. The City ofWmter Springs Parks and Recreation Department assisted with the design of the restroom facility located at the Black Hammock trailhead, located within the jurisdictional limits of the City, and is responsible for the maintenance and cleaning of the restroom facility. . The trail currently runs from Gardenia Avenue in Wmter Springs to the intersection of State Road 434 and State Road 426 in downtown Oviedo, but will eventually run from Spring Hammock Preserve in Winter Springs to Howell Branch Road at the Orange County Line and will connect 5 parks: Central Wmds Park, Sweetwater Creek Park, Torcaso Park, Lawton House Park, and Spring Hammock. The trail will also connect six schools: Winter Springs' , High School, Indian Trails Middle School, Keeth Elementary, Trinity Preparatory School, Oviedo High School, and Lawton Elementary. When complete, the Cross Seminole Trail will connect to the Seminole Wekiva Trail, creating a 3D-mile continuous trail through Altamonte Springs, Longwood, Lake Mary, Winter Springs, and Oviedo and with the Cady Way Trail and the Orange County Trail System. Map II- 4 shows the existing and future bike lanes and bike paths/sidewalks, as presented in the plan. The City does not have a local bicycle plan. 5. Pedestrian System The City does not keep an inventory of pedestrian facilities, except as part of the Cross Seminole Trail master plan (see above). Sidewalks are found along most roads. The majority of the City's residential neighborhoods currently have sidewalk facilities. 6. Intermodal Facilities Intermodal facilities are those transportation elements that accommodate and interconnect different modes of transportation and serve interstate, intrastate and international movement of people and goods. Some facilities considered intermodal include ports, airports, bus stations and train terminals. The Intermodal Surface Efficiency Act (IS TEA) legislation encourages the provision of efficient access to these intermodal facilities. There are no public airports within the City limits. The closest public airport is the Orlando- Sanford Airport in Sanford. The County is serviced by Greyhound Transportation Services with a bus terminal in Sanford. The City of Winter Springs has no active rail lines within the City limits. There is only an abandoned line nmning parallel with S.R. 419. The closest rail line runs just west of the City, and is operated by _' ' The City of Winter Springs is located along the south shore of Lake Jesup. The lake is DRAFT II-S ,'. i CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT currently used for recreational boating and fishing. C. TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS Transportation can have a major role shaping the spatial and functional organization of a community. It can determine the size, scale, status and identity of a community. However, there are other contributing factors that need to . be considered, such as the personal, social, physical, environmental, economic. and cultural attributes of the community. This section will analyze existing conditions of the transportation system to provide a comprehensive assessment of the various transportation facilities and services, and their relationship with existing land uses. This section will also address growth trends, travel patterns, and interactions betWeen land use and transportation, including the compatibility between future land uses and transportation systems. Wmter Springs is an integral part of the Orlando Urban Area. Additionally, the City is one of the larger municipalities within Seminole County and is located betWeen tWo principal arterials, S.R 434 and Red Bug Lake Road. As such, transportation planning for Winter Springs requires close cooperation with other planning efforts within the Orlando region and Seminole County. For this reason, the transportation planning methodology used to develop the transportation plan must necessarily be compatible. with transportation methodologies in adjacent jurisdictions. In order to accomplish this requirement, extensive use of data sources and planning models from the Orlando Urban Area Transportation Study (OUATS) and the Seminole County Transportation Management Program (fMP) were used in the development of the Winter Springs Transportation Plan. Existing deficiencies on city, county and state systems were defined and Capital Improvement Programs identified to c.esolve these transportation deficiencies. No deficiencies were defIned on the City collector system. Forecasts of anticipated land use/ socio-economic activities for 2010 were made and the validated transportation models applied against them. 1bis allowed the defInition of future capacity defIciencies so that funding sources can be developed to correct these defIciencies. 0, 1. Socio-Economic Growth Trends The 2000:D. S. Census-reported a City population of 31,666. Population projections prepared by LDI for the City indicate that the City population will grow to approximately 65,472 residents by the year 2020. Table II- 13 shows the socio-economic data by TAZ included in the transportation study prepared by CPH. There are slight differences in numbers with the City estimates due to the fact that some TAZs include large areas that are currently outside the City limits (fAZs ). The MPO TAZ data also includes projections of employment. 2. Roadway Current Performance The 1985 Growth Management Act established two important responsibilities for local governments. The first was to set level of service (LOS) standards for public facilities within the jurisdiction as part of the comprehensive plan. The second was to ensure that the public facilities and services proposed in the Capital Improvements Element of the local comprehensive plan were available concurrent with the development. The Department of DRAFT II-6 , ~ . CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Conununity Affairs (DCA) requires that adopted level of service standards be achievable and fmancially feasible. The standards set a minimum service level that the City must maintain for each of the public facilities, including roadways. The roadway LOS concept is defined in the Florida Department of Transportation (FD01) 1998 Level of Service Handbook as a qualitative assessment of the road user's perception of the quality of flow, and is measured by a scale of driver satisfaction. The scale ranges from "A" to "F", with "A" generally representing the most favorable driving conditions and "F" representing the least favorable. FDOT adopted statewide minimum level of service standards for the State highway system. The minimum level of service standards are used for planning applications, including the review of local government plans. The generalized maximum volume tables provided by FDOT are guidelines recommended for broad planning applications. They are to be used as a general guide to determine highway level of service and through-lane requirements. For the purpose of LOS maintenance, the County has been divided into Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs), twenty-nine of which are in Wint~r Springs. TAZs are small, internally homogeneous aggregations of the entire urban area. They range from a City block to areas encompassing several square miles. Demographic data, such as population, housing, employment and traffic, is maintained at the T AZ level to measure existing roadway LOS. Map II - 5 shows the T AZs within the City of Winter Springs. Minimum level of service standards recommended for the state system are shown on Table II- 9. The standardized descriptions of service levels used in transportation planning are as follows: · LOS A - A condition of road performance where traffic density is very low, with little or no restrictions in maneuverability. Drivers can maintain their desired speed with little or no delay. · LOS B - A condition of road performance where traffic density is low and vehides travel with operating speeds somewhat restricted by other vehicles. Drivers still have reasonable freedom to select their speeds. ~ LOS C - A performance condition where operating speeds are determined by other vehicles, permitting a stable traffic flow. Drivers might have limitations to maneuver and to increase speeds. · LOS D - A condition of road performance where traffic density is high but tolerable. Fluctuations in traffic volumes may cause reductions in operating speeds. Drivers have little freedom to maneuver. In some instances, traffic flows approach unstable conditions. · LOS E - Represents traffic operation near the roadway capacity or maximum service volume. Vehicles flow at unstable conditions. Stop-and-go situations may happen. In freeways or limited access roads, speeds are near thirty (30) miles per hour and traffic density is high. · LOS F - This condition usually results from long lines of vehicles backing up because the traffic volume exceeds the roadway capacity. The vehicles are forced to operate at very low speeds. Stop-and-go situations are frequent and in extreme cases, vehicles stop for long periods of time. DRAFT II-7 .i .,. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT The 1995 FDOT Generalized Tables were used by CPH to evaluate roadway performance in the City of Winter Springs. A level-of-service analysis was performed to determine existing deficiencies. The capacity analysis was based on the FDOT Generalized Peak Hour Directional Maximum Service Volumes for different roadway types. Table II- 3and Table II- 4 show the 1996 traffic conditions in the City of Wmter Springs. Most roadway segments tested did not comply with the FDOT level qf service standards as described above. However, some of those segments were already part of committed improvement projects and have been implemented. S.R. 419 from 17-92 to Moss Road stiIl needs to be addressed (See Map II- 6). 3. Future Roadway Performance The Florida Standard Urban Transportation Model Structure (FSU1MS) was used for all of the city's travel demand forecasting. Consistency with the MetroPlan model (OUATS) data and traffic zone stmcture was maintained through the process in forecasting the city's travel demand. Map II- 7 and Table II- 10 show the 2010 traffic conditions. Except for u.S. 17- 92 from Shepard Road to S.R. 434, S.R. 434 from S.R. 419 to the Greeneway, and S.R. 419 from u.S. 17-92 to S.R. 434, all roadway segments tested comply with the FDOT level of service standards as described above. Improvements on these roads are the responsibility of the State. The City of Winter Springs has limited financial resources to address all of the, potential traffic circulation system needs identified in its Transportation Element. Therefore, intergovernmental coordination is critical. The MPO provided a list of committed roadway projects and transportation studies impacting the City of Winter Springs. Table II- 7 shows the applicable road projects contained in the MPO Transportation Improvements Program (TIP), as well road improvements planned by the MPO beyond the year 2005. The traffic simulation process was accomplished as noted in the following section. 4. Model Development and Validation , To adequately forecast future traffic conditions in a rapidly urbanizing area such as the City of WinterS'prings, a set o'f transportation planning models must be developed and validated. In the case of the City of Winter Springs, such models exist and these models have been previously used to develop City, regional and county wide plans; These models are contained in the model set documented for the Orlando Urban Area Transportation Study. In order to provide the more detailed analysis required for the City of Winter Springs, this model set was modified. These modifications include the development of a more detailed TAZ set (microzones), a more detailed highway network, and the use of TRANSPLAN/FSUTMS model stmcture. These changes require the validation of the model set used in this process even though this model set is derived from and closely resembles the ~UA TS model set. This model set has been modified as detailed below. DRAFT II-8 11 ~ "i ' CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT a. OUA TS Model Set The transportation planning models used in the Orlando Urban Area Transportation Study have evolved from a set of models developed in the mid-siXties and based upon extensive home interviews conducted at that time. The model set is divided into four general functions and modifications to each of these functions have occurred over the last twenty-five years. b. Trip Generation The existing OUA TS trip generation model is a cross-classification person trip production model with attractions calculated using expressions derived from regression analysis. This model currently uses 11 purposes including special generator purposed for the major tourist attractions, the various universities and colleges in the region, and the Orlando International Airport. The model requires extensive data not generally available such as the forecast of the median income and car ownership by zone for the calculation of home-based productions. c. Trip- Distribution The OUA TS trip distribution model utilizes each of the 11 purposes for which productions and attractions are generated. Friction factors for each of these 11 purposes have been developed, although the special generator purposes generally borrow fi-iction factors from other purposes. There are not K-factors utilized in the model. d. . Model Split/Auto Occupancy The OUA TS model set includes a multi-nominallogit expression for calculation of splits of trips to the transit sector. Auto occupancy is calculated with simple rates by purpose. The model split is system-sensitive in that it requires the coded description of a transit system. e., Traffic Assignment The current OUA TS traffic assignment procedure consists of a 4-iteration equilibrium assignment with capacity restraint. This process is applied using network descriptions in accordance with the 1979 version of the Urban Transportation Planning System (UTPS) developed by the US Department of Transportation. f. Trip- Generation Modifications In order to make LIse of the data available from Seminole County and to avoid the necessity to forecast income and car ownership as required by the OUATS trip generation model, modifications were made to this model. The trip generation models used are based upon the OUA TS models, but these models incorporate simpler rate expressions instead of the more complex cross-classification models. These models have sLlccessfully been Llsed numerous times in the Orlando area including ClSSelberry and for Seminole County projects. In addition to the DRAFT II-9 ., " CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Transportation Plan and Impact Fee Study in Casselbeny, the models were used to forecast trip generation for the Lake Mary Boulevard Corridor Study and the Lake Mary/I-4 interchange study for the Florida Department of Transportation. The models forecast vehicle trips instead of person trips so they addItionally do not require a separate auto occupancy model. The input socio-economic data for the Wmter Springs traffic zones was approved by the City for 1996 and 2010. All other zones used Seminole County or OUA TS data (tn Orange County). g. Use of OUA TS 11 Trip Purpose Models SincetI~p generation expressions were available for each of the OUATS non-special generator purposes, it was decided to use the entire 11 purpose models available in OUATS. This required incorporating the special generator expressions available from OUA TS into the Wmter Springs Model Set. This use of the full OUATS model purposes additionally permitted use of the OUA TS friction factors. 5. Public TransitPedonnance Public transit improvements offer the potential to significantly increase the capacity of the transportation netWork. One average size bus at capacity can carry as many passengers (approximately 40 persons) as 10 or more private automobiles. Successful transit systems emphasize the land use and travel demand relationship necessary to address congestion problems. The most important factors in encouraging transit use are mixed land uses and an urban form, which provides street connectivity and access to the pedestrian, transit and bikeway systems. Transit facilities and multi-modal terminals also are important for the success of the transit system. These facilities allow for transfers among the various modes within the transportatIon system. Public transit level of service criteria is based on the operational and service characteristics of the transit system. Operational characteristics include the number of vehicles operated in maximum service, the amount of service supplied, the average speed;' and the number of days the service is provided. Service characteristics include geographic location and service area population. These characteristics are monitored by the local transit provider, but the City could be monitoring levels of service for transit performance based on headway standards. Headway is the time that separates vehicles moving in the same direction on the same route or track. The emphasis should be on reducing headways to encourage public transit ridership. The LYNX transit route currently serving Winter Springs does not cover all the major traffic generators/attractors identified on Map II- 3. In analyzing access to transit service, the City considers one-quarter mile on either side of the route an adequate maximum distance that people would be willing to walk to use transit. 6. Other Transportation Systems The City's current lLlI1sportation network is based primarily on a road network serving DRAFT II-lO .:". .,. ~ CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT vehicular traffic, with very little attention given to other means of transportation. The City needs to start establishing facilities that will encourage the use of alternative transportation systems. Parking is an essential component of the overall transportation system. The decision of a commuter to drive alone or to use alternative transportation modes such as ride-sharing or public transit depends toa large extent on the cost, accessibility and availability of parking. As the City grows the need for these types of facilities will increase. Bicy:ling is a viable mobility alternative. Bicycle networks provide a conunuting alternative as well as a recreational asset. The City has made efforts to establish a bicycle system. However, the adopted five-year plan was not achieved within that timeframe. The existing bicycle plan will need to be updated to plan for the expansion of the current system. According to the MPO 2020 plan, it is the policy of FDOT to consider adding bicycle facilities to arterials, and wide curb lanes to collectors when the roads are improved within urbanized areas. Pedestrian mobility is greatly influenced by the mix and proximity of land uses as well as the availability of adequate sidewalks and other pedestrian facilities. Adequate land uses and appropriate urban design would encourage walking for short trips and for accessing transit facilities and services, The City Code currently requires developers to provide sidewalks in new subdivisions. . 7. Future Transportation Plan This section proyides recommendations for creating a safe, convenient, and energy efficient multi-modal transportation system, coordinated with future land uses, plans and programs of the Seminole County MPO and FDOT. Since World War II, roadways have been designed primarily for automobiles. Very little attention has been given to accommodating other modes of transportation such as bicycles, pedestrians, and transit. The goal of this Transportation Element is to look at roads as multi-modal transportation corridors, and design them accordingly. Intergovenimental coordination is essential for the most cost-effective-provision of transportation system improvements. Clearly, the City of Winter Springs does not possess the resources nor is it fiscally responsible for the entire transportation system within the City. Seminole County and FDOT have financial responsibility for county roads and state highway system roads, respectively. Therefore, it is necessary for the City to review the transportation improvement plans and programs prepared by the County and FDOT. In this way, the effort and dollars expended by the City to improve its traffic circulation systeni may be complemented ~lIld perhaps enhanced by the activities of the County and FDOT. One area of coordin;1tion should include the preservation and protection of rights-of-way for identified future roadway improvements and construction. With the escalating value of land and costs enLliled in right-of-way acquisition it is essential that the City protect roadway corridors in advance from building encroachment. Increased right-of-way costs reduce the funds available [or actual construction. The City needs to utilize such techniques as setback requirements, zoning restrictions, right-of-way protection regulations and official II-II [Q)~ffi\[F1T DRAFT ,I' CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT transportation maps to preserve and protect existing and future rights-of-way. Other measures are discussed in the policy section. a. Future Transportation Map The purpose of a Transportation Map is to graphically depict the location of all proposed collector and arterial roadways and any limited access facilities, airports, rail lines, and other related facilities. The main improvement that the City will need to coordinate with Seminole County is the widening of u.s. 17-92 and S.R. 434. Map II- 9 presents the proposed Future Transportation Map for the City of Winter Springs. This map shows the proposed roadway functional classification and number of lanes for each roadway segment. . Roadway capacity is based on the functional classification and number of lanes. The level of service standard selected for each roadway W~lS based either on its present or forecasted performance. The map shows the network as it is planned for the year 2010, with several roads at a LOS D, which is an acceptable standard. Map II- 8 shows the needed unprovements, Future roadway design will need to incorporate bicycle, pedestrian and transit features to achieve a true multi-modal system. In addition to incorporating roadway design standards in the City Code, the City will start requiring that new developments be interconnected to enhance the transportation network Development design must provide connectivity and access between adjacent residential developments and nearby land uses. Traffic calming techniques can be used to protect neighborhoods. b. Transportation Concurrency Exemption Areas/LOS Degradation Chapter 163, F. S., allows the option of exempting certain developments from the transportation concurrency requirements if the project is consistent with the comprehensive plan, promotes public transportation or is within an area designated for infill development, redevelopment or downtown revitalization area. The City of Winter Springs does not have any Transportation Concurrency Exemption Areas. c. Future Public Transit Plan A transportation system that offers multi-modal opportunities has the potential to absorb a significantly higher number of person trips than a system that focuses solely on accommodating vehicle trips. Improved transit service frequencies and new routes offer a viable transportation alternative and promote transit use. The City will need to coordinate with the MPO and LYNX for the expansion of routes when deemed necessalY due to the development of new traffic generators/ attractors such as the Town Center ~ll1d the Greeneway mixed use district. The City will continue to support and participate in the transit system operated by LYNX. Furthermore, the City will help achieve increased ridership by encouraging compact development, requiring the provision of pedestrian connections, and requiring the provision of transit bcilitics and ;llnenities where necessary, DRAFT II-12 I" II. 'i' CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT d. The Future Pedestrian Plan The analysis of existing pedestrian conditions found that the City is well served by sidewalks. However, in order to develop a pedestrian improvement/construction progran1 to address those areas lacking sidewalks) a citywide inventory of sidewalks) crosswalks and other pedestrian facilities must be completed. By identifying missing links in the pedestrian system, the inventory will allow prioritization of improvements. Implementation of these improvements will provide pedestrian connectivity to the overall transportation system. e. The Future Bicycle Plan The existing bicycle path system needs to be expanded to extend the bike paths along to City parks and schools. The City bikeway system will need to continue being expanded, fuling gaps and providing new segments where deemed necessaty. f. TSM/TDM Strategies Transportation System Management (TSM) and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) are options for communities trying to add roadway capacity without having to construct costly new facilities. The ultimate goal of the IDM progran1 is to influence people to shift to more efficient modes of transportation and to travel during off-peal~ hours. TSM strategies) On the other hand, aim to affect the actual supply of transportation services. The most effective policies integrate supply and demand strategies to create a transportation network that promotes efficient choices. -The City of Winter Springs does not currently offer any of these programs. However, they are options to consider in the future.

" .~ CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN lL~~~@ INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT DRAINAGE SUB-ELEMENT A. INTRODUCTION The City of Winter Springs is committed to maintaining the quality of its surface waters. The purpose of this element is to provide analysis of the available data regarding the surpluses and deficiencies of the existing drainage infrastructure serving Winter Springs' residents so the City can adequately plan for the requirements of the projected population and future land use needs. The following analysis will lay the foundation for goals, objectives, and policies, which will ensure that drainage and stormwater management needs are met throughout the planning timeframe . To adequately regulate stormwater, it is necessary to manage both the quality and the quantity of rainfall and runoff. In addition to abatement, it is necessary for drainage facilities to serve other important functions such as water quality management and' aquifer recharge. Management of stormwater is important in maintaining the water quality of the City's lakes, creeks, and wetlands. Stormwater can carry a number of pollutants and is responsible for over half the pollution load entering Florida's waters. Currently, stormwater runoff is an issue of local concern for the City of Winter Springs. The incursion of development involves the placement of streets; sidewalks, buildings, and parking lots over soils and native vegetation. As a result, stormwater, which would naturally percolate into the grQund, runs off of the impermeable surfaces, carrying with it litter, pesticides and fertilizers, heavy metals, and other pollutants. In more densely developed areas, pollutants such as oil and gasoline can be washed off in to the streets. While in more rural areas, agricultural runoff can contain excessive nutrients, which are harmful to fish and can pollute drinking water. Therefore, it is important for the City to ensure that development takes place in a manner that is consistent with the appropriate management of stormwater. The appropriate management of stormwater involves: treatment of stormwater prior to discharge into surface waters, floodwater abatement to ensure that. post-development run-off does not exceed pre-development runoff, and design of stormwater . facilities to promote recharge to the underlying aquifer system. To protect the quality of surface waters, the federal government enacted Section 208 of the Water Pollution Control Act for stormwater management. Additionally, Section 405 of the federal 1987 Clean Water Act requires the EPA to establish permit regulations for stormwater. A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDS) permit program has been established by the EP A for municipal and cpunty stormwater systems. Phase II of the program addresses cities and counties with under 100,000 persons. The City of Winter Springs is permitted by the NPDS and complies with all regulations. The State of Florida addresses surface water management in Chapter 62-40 Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) and defmes permit requirements and management responsibilities ill Chapter 62-25 F.A.C. One of the primary concerns of the State rule is to be prepared for repeat storm events. Many facilities within the State were only designed to adequately treat the fust storm. The State emphasizes that capacity must be available 72 hours after the initial storm. The Water Management Districts. regulate stormwater management systems via Chapter 40C-42 F.A.C. The Water Management Districts require capturing and treatment of the fust flush of stormwater in ponds or swales. The first flush is known to generally contain the majority of the pollutants, DRAFT IV -1 [Q)[R1b\[F1 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT The City of Winter Springs currently has a Stormwater Master Plan, which was adopted in October 1993. The report includes discussions of site-specific drainage basin parameters used in the analysis; techniques applied; results of the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis; identification of stormwater facility capacities, deficiencies, and surpluses; specific improvement alternatives and prioritization of recommended improvements; Stormwater Master. Plan funding evaluation and recorn.ri1endations; and lastly, a proposed Capital Improvements Plan. The City's Stormwater Master Plan. principally concentrates :::>n the broad analysis of the primary drainage systems and on a detailed analysis of 6 selected secondary drainage systems, which are tributaries to the primary streams. An output of the Plan includes identification of specific areas and projects, which will alleviate flooding and improve water quality. The topography in Winter Springs is relatively flat with some gently rolling hills, ranging from a low of feet above sea level to feet above sea level. Map IV - C-1 identifies the general topography in Winter Springs. 1. . T enns and Concepts Stormwater is defined, pursuant to 9J-5.003 (88), Florida Administrative Code (F.A.c.), as "the flow of water which results from a rainfall event." Other definitions, pursuant to 9J-5.003. F.A.C., applicable to this Sub-Element are: Attenuation - To limit stormwater flow to reduce downstream impacts. Basin - A drainage area with the characteristics of either having a single outfall to the receiving waterbody or being located adjacent to another basin, and conveying its runoff through a drainage structure. Closed Drainage Basin - A drainage basin with no structural outfall. The discharge from a closed drainage basin is limited to percolation (and other groundwater flow), evaporation and evapo-transpiration. Conveyance - Transport of stormwater via pipe and/or open channel system(s). Design Capacity - The amount of flow a storm sewer system is designed to manage, usually expressed in cubic feet per second for flow and cubit feet- or acre feet for storage- Design Storm Event - The design storm event is calculated by the frequency, duration, volume, and distribution of the storm. Detention Basin or Structure - means a basin or structure, which collects and temporarily . stores storm water for the purpose of treatment through physical, chemical, or biological processes with subsequent gradual release of the storm water to reduce downstream quality and quantity impacts. Ditch - An open storm water conveyance facility with typical side slopes steeper than three units horizontally to one unit vertically. Drainage Basin - Any land area defined by topographical boundaries from which the runoff collects at a common point and contributes stormwater to a drainage system or receiving waterbody. DRAFT IV-2 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT Drainage racilities - means a system of human-made structures designed to collect, convey, hold, divert or discharge stonn water; including, stormwater sewers, canals, detention structures, and retention structures. E4iltration Trench - A sub-surface facility designed to convey stonnwater into the underlying soil, providing treatment through filtration and volume reduction. rioodplain - An area inundated during a 100-year flood event or identified by the national Flood Insurance Program as an area of flooding on Flood Insurance Rate Maps or Flood Hazard Boundary Maps. Imperoious - Land surfaces which do not allow (or minimally allow) the penetration of water. An. increase in the amount of impervious area will increase the rate and volume of runoff from a given drainage basin. Inlet - A structure which collects stormwater runoff and connects into a conveyance system. Natural Drainage Features - Naturally occurring features of an area which accommodate the flow of stormwater, such as streams, rivers, lakes, and wetlands. Outfall - Location where stormwater flows out of a given system. The ultimate outfall of a system is generally a receiving waterbodi Percolation - The ability of water to pass through a porous medium; in most cases, the soil. Peroious -.Land surfaces which allow the penetration of water. A decrease in pervious area will increase the rate and volume of runoff from a given drainage basin. Retention - To store stonnwater to prevent its discharge into receiving waters or to provide a storage facility for stormwater where no outfall is available. futention Basin or Structure - A stormwater facility which has no structural outfall and the discharge from which is limited to percolation, evaporation, and evapo- transpira tion. Sub-basin - A large neighborhood drainage area, which represents the subdivision of a basin on the basis of natural and/ or man-made flow patterns within the basin. Surcharge - Flow out of a stonnwater facility resulting from flow in excess of its designed capacity at a point upstream from the outfall. S wale - An open stormwater conveyance facility with side slopes typically equal to or greater than three units horizontally to one unit vertically (generally very shallow). B. STORMWATER INVENTORY AND DATA The majority of the inventory and data in this section was derived from the City's 1993 Stormwater Master Plan prepared by Conklin, Porter & Holmes Engineers, Inc. and Gee & Jenson Engineers- Architects-Planners, Inc. DRAFT 1\1-3 , . . . CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT 1. Operational Responsibility The. City of Winter Springs, the State of Florida, the Florida Department of Transportation (FD01), and Seminole County are ultimately responsible for maintenance and permitting of the stormwater conveyance systems within and surrounding the City limits. State Roads 434 and 419 that traverse the City are completely under the jurisdiction of the FDOT. All stormwater facilities associated with these two State highways are designed, maintained, and controlled by the FDOT. Tuscawilla Road, which traverses the City in a north/south direction, is completely under the jurisdiction of Seminole County. There are two County residential roads, Morgan and Shetland, which enter the City that have stormwater runoff entering the City's stormwater system. All stormwater facilities associated with this County road are designed, maintained, and controlled by Seminole County. In addition to these publicly owned drainage facilities, the City has several privately owned drainage facilities which are operated and maintained under a St. Johns River Water Management Stormwater Permit by either a private company, individual; or homeowner's association. These private drainage facilities are as follows: . Hacienda Village Mobile Home Park . Country Club Villas Subdivision . Tuscawilla Tennis Villa Subdivision . Bear Creek Estate Subdivision . Fairway Oaks Subdivision . Bentley Green Subdivision . Indian Ridge Subdivision . Seville on the Green Apartments . Cypress Club . Golf Terrace Apartments . Seminole Pines Mobile Home Park . Georgetown Subdivision . Braewick Subdivision . Green Briar Subdivision . Tuscawilla Country Club and Golf . Casa Park Subdivision Course 2. Geographic Service Area The City of Winter Springs lies within three primary drainage basins served by, Gee Creek, Soldiers Creek, and Howell Creek, all of which extend well beyond corporate limits. These primary drainage basins are depicted in Map IV -C- 2. The scope of the City's Stormwater Master Plan is limited to a general analysis of the primary drainage systems based upon review of previous studies, as well as a detailed analysis of 6 selected secondary drainage systems, which are tributaries to these primary streams. These selected secondary systems are identified below: 1. Soldiers Creek Basin, Secondary Basin System I (Lake Audubon/Highlands Creek) 2. Gee Creek, Secondary Basin System II (No Name Creek) DRAFT IV-4 . . . ' CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT 2. Gee Creek, Secondary Basin System II (No Name Creek) 3. Gee Creek, Secondary Basin System III (Little Lake Howell) 4. Howell Creek Basin, Secondary Basin System IV (fuscawilla Golf Course/Undeveloped Lands) 5. Howell Creek Basin, Secondary Basin System V (fuscawilla Unit 14A) 6. Howell Creek Basin, Secondary Basin System VI (fuscawilla Units 11B and 12A) The Gee Creek and Soldier Creek drainage basins are situated in the western sector of the City, while the Howell Creek drainage basin is situated in the eastern sector. Gee Creek, Howell Creek, and Soldiers Creek drain into Lake Jesup, which in turn, flows into the St. Johns River. The St. John River flows northward where it enters the Atlantic Ocean. The drainage area of Gee Creek is approximately 11.79 square miles and has slX - significant tributaries, all of which are located outside of City limits. [please provide similar info. on Soldiers Creek, if possible] The topography of Howell Branch Basin is relatively flat with some gently rolling hills, and in some areas there are swamps and sinkholes. The Howell Basin is located in both Orange and Seminole Counties and has a basin area of 45.5 square miles. The headwaters of Howell Creek originate in Lake Maitland, which receives inflows from three chains of lakes via ponds. The creek then flows northeasterly through Lake Howell and continues to meet Bear Creek near State Road 419. The convergence occurs approximately 2 miles upstream from Lake Jesup. The headwaters of Bear Creek are located in Bear Gully Lake, which receives inflows from other lakes. 3. Capacity and Level of Service The areas of the Winter Springs that have a paved infrastructure system under the control and maintenance of the City and have a stormwater management system with a design capacity to handle a 25 year, 24 hour storm 'event represent approximately 59% of the City's overall area. Approximately 95 percent of the City's drainage ,facility capacity is apportioned to the City of Winter Springs; the remainder serves the cities of Oviedo and Casselberry. The 10-, 24-, and 100-year, 24-hour storm events were considered in the analysis of the existing drainage systems. These storm events were selected by the City of Winter Springs staff to evaluate the LOS of the existing secondary drainage systems. The approximate LOS for the 6 secondary drainage systems was determined as required by Chapter 9)-5, F.A.C. The LOS for tl1e secondary basins are summarized below: . LOS A - Protection from 100-year, 24-hour storm event . LOS B - Protection from 25-year, 24-hour storm event DRAFT lV-5 @ . . CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT · LOS C - Protection from 1 a-year, 24-hour storm event · LOS D - Flooding from lOa-year, 24-hour storm event The recommendations of the SJRWMD were utilized in the Stormwater Master Plan to evaluate the Level of Service (LOS) standards of drainage facilities in the City. The LOS for structures asserts that all existing structures should be free from flooding during a lOa-year storm event. The LOS for roadways requires that drainage facilities for arterial roads will be designed to carry a lOa-year storm event; collector roads will designed to carry a 25-year storm event; and, neighborhood roads must carry a 5-year storm event [Have these recommendations been utilized?]. Four flood levels were defined in the Stormwater Master Plan for use in the evaluation of the City's stormwater management system, as follows: Flood Level 1 - Flood Level 2 - Water surface at or below street grade. Water Surface above street grade, but below 6-inch depth of ponding. Water Surface depth greater than 6 inches above street grade, but below 12 inches. Flood Level 4 - Water surface depth greater than 12 inches above the street grade. [Is this correct?] Pursuant to the results of the existing conditions analysis and based on discussions with the City Engineer, a series of potential alternatives were developed to improve or correct the LOS of the six secondary drainage systems to an acceptable or desirable level. Recommended improvements from the Stormwater Master Plan for individual secondary basins are identified in Table IV-C- 1. [please update table. Some information is provided in the Stormwater Master Plan, but have improvements since been made?] A detailed account of prioritized improvements and cost estimates can be found in the City's Capital Improvements Plan. Flood Level 3 - Continuing annual minor renewal and replacement improvements on a system-wide basis is required in addition to the major capital improvements plan. These improvements might include repair of minor stormwater deficiencies not included as a major capital improvement, but commonly occur throughout the system. Stormwater fac~ties that require minor work consist of stormwater collection pipes, inlets and catch basins, manholes, swales, ditches, control structures, and erosion pIpes. C. FACILITY CAPACITY ANALYSIS Winter Springs has several creeks, stormwater ponds, and drainage ditches within City Limits, some of which experience problems of flooding. Approximately' percent of the City's land area exists within Flood Zone A, as identi.fied by National Flood Insurance Maps. Flood zone maps may be found in the Conservation Element of this Plan. DRAFT IV-6 I ' .' . . CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT 1. General Performance and Problem Areas The Stonnwater Master Plan identified a number of areas in the City that have experienced stormwater-flooding problems in the past. Through interviews with City Employees and consultations with the City's Engineer and Public Works Superintendent, a knowledge of past reported flood problems was gathered to gain a better understanding of the existing drainage system conditions. Presented below is a listing of specific problem areas: . Winter Springs Boulevard Bridge crossing Bear Gully Creek . Northern Way Bridge Crossing Howell Creek, north of Winter Springs Boulevard . Northern Way & Woodchuck Court . Stonnwater ponds along Seneca Boulevard . Bridges crossing Gee Creek . Oak Forest Units 1 through 4 . North Orlando Ranches sections 1,2 & 2A, and 6 . Highlands section 1 · North Orlando Terrace section 5 2. Future Demand and Facility Improvements If the "high" priority improvements identified for each basin in the Capacity and Level of Service section were constructed, the flooding problems would be alleviated to the extent required to meet the LOS for structures. Subsequent to the Stonnwater Master Plan, a stonnwater utility study and implementation project is proposed. This project would entail evaluating the existing and proposed stonnwater improvements for the City and iden~#ication of the fInancial requirements to implement the proposed improvements. It is anticipated that a stormwater utility will be the preferred option for long term funding and this project will conduct the necessary initial evaluations of rate structure, revenue generating capacity and identification of the implementation process and data collection needs for the billing system. The second portion of this project would be to assist with passage of a stormwater ordinance, development of a billing system and preparation of an implementation plan, as well as public information.
