BACKGROUND:
The City of Winter Springs initiated the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification Project to provide
lighting and beautification improvements within the Tuscawilla Planned Unit Development
(PUD), with the exception of 110 unincorporated parcels. These 110 parcels, originally
subdivided as Winter Springs Unit 1, are located in the Dyson Drive neighborhood and are the
only portions of the Tuscawilla PUD that are not a part of the City (See Attachment A, Dyson
Drive Area Improvements).
When the boundary of the area to be annexed was drawn, it was determined that an additional
vacant parcel should be added to the annexation. The parcel added contains approximately 4.3
acres and is surrounded on the east, north, and west by the Winter Springs Unit 1 "Dyson Drive
Area" and on the south by the unimproved right-of-way of Citrus Road. With the addition of this
parcel to the referendum, the total number of parcels is 111, including 110 subdivided lots
occupied by 107 single-family homes, 3 of which are located on double lots.
The Lighting and Beautification Project includes a plan to construct new entry features and
intersection enhancements, which include decorative walls, sign age, lighting and intersection
paving details. Additionally, each of these new features, including the existing landscape medians
within the Tuscawilla POO, will be upgraded and enhanced to improve the overall appearance,
safety, and security of the corridor.
The elements of the project, which are adjacent to the Dyson Drive Area, include three City of
Winter Springs entry features to be located on Dyson Drive at the bridge, on Howell Creek Drive,
and on Deer Run near the City limits. The intent is to identify and enhance the appearance of the
City's gateways (entrances).
Should the registered electors of the Dyson Drive Area choose to annex to the City and become a
part of the Tuscawilla Beautification Project, those three features would be replaced with
improvements specifically designed for the Dyson Drive Area. These improvements would
include a decorative brick entry wall feature with signage to be located at the intersection of
Tuscawilla Road and Dyson Drive. Additional landscaping enhancements would also be added to
the existing medians on Dyson Drive. These landscape elements are specifically designed to be
compatible with the current streetscaping conditions and the existing landscaping within the
medians (See Exhibit 1, Dyson Drive Area Improvements, Attachment B -Improvement Details).

The opportunity currently exists for Dyson Drive Area residents to participate in the Tuscawilla
Lighting and Beautification Project. This will ensure that the Dyson Drive neighborhood will
enjoy an appearance quality comparable to the remainder of the Tuscawilla PUD.
In accordance with Section 171.0413(5) and (6), a majority (more than 50 percent) of the
property owners/registered electors will be required to approve the annexation and therefore
participate in the special assessment district. The vote on annexation is planned for February
2002 in a special election, called by the City of Winter Springs.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
. At its January 24, 2000 regular meeting, the City Commission voted to proceed with
the annexation of the Dyson Drive area by referendum.

beyond the boundary of the Tuscawilla Beautification District, without the Dyson
Drive area being annexed.
. The City Manager and staff met with a number of residents to discuss the issues
related to the proposed referendum.
. Several presentations explaining the benefits of the proposed annexation were made to
the residents of the Dyson Drive area between the time the City Commission voted to
proceed with the annexation and the scheduled November 7, 2000 referendum.
. On August 28,2000, the City Commission approved Ordinance 2000-27, which
required a referendum on annexation prior to becoming effective.
. The scheduled November 7, 2000 referendum was postponed and has been
rescheduled for February 2002.
FINDINGS:
1. Section 171.042 of the Florida Statutes states that prior to commencing annexation
procedures, the City must prepare a report setting forth the plans to provide urban
services to the proposed annexation area (See Exhibit 2, Report on the Proposed
Dyson Drive Annexation).
2. The City has prepared and submitted this report to the Board of Seminole County
Commissioners as required by statute.

Program Features and Benefits of Annexation
Project Description
The City of Winter Springs has initiated the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification Project
to provide lighting and beautification improvements within the Tuscawilla Planned Unit
Development (PUD), with the exception of 111 parcels. These 111 parcels are located in
the Dyson Drive neighborhood and are the only portions of the Tuscawilla PUD that are
not part of the City (See Attachment A - The Dyson Drive Area).
The Lighting and Beautification Project includes a plan to construct new entry features
and intersection enhancements which include decorative walls, sign age, lighting and
intersection paving details. Additionally, each of these features, including the existing
landscape medians within the Tuscawilla PUD, will be upgraded and enhanced to improve
the overall appearance, safety, and security of the corridor.
The elements of the Project which are adjacent to the Dyson Area include three City of
Winter Springs entry features to be loeated on Dyson Drive at the bridge, on Howell
Creek Drive, and on Deer Run where the City limits begin. The intent is to identify the
location where visitor and residents are entering and leaving the City of Winter Springs.
Should the residents of the Dyson Drive area choose to annex to the city and become part
of the Tuscawilla Beautification Project, those three features would be replaced with
improvements specifically designed for the Dyson Drive area. These improvements would
include a decorative brick entry wall feature with signage to be located at the intersection
of Tuscawilla Road and Dyson Drive. Additional landscaping enhancements would also be
added to the existing medians on Dyson Drive. These landscape elements are specifically
designed to be compatible with the current streetscaping conditions and the existing
landscaping within the medians. (See Attachment B - Improvement Details)
The Opportunity
The opportunity currently exists for the Dyson Drive area residents to participate in the
Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification. Project. This will insure that the Dyson Drive
neighborhood will have the same quality of appearance as the remainder of the Tuscawilla
PUD.
1
It is important that action is taken as soon as possible so that the Dyson Drive
neighborhood can be included in the current construction and financing programs. A
choice to proceed now will be far more cost effective due to the scale of the overall
project, the timing of construction, and the blending of the construction financing and
maintenance.
The Annexation and Assessment Process
To participate in the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification program a majority of the
residents of Dyson Drive will need to vote to annex to the City of Winter Springs and to
participate in the special assessment district. The vote on these issues should occur in
November with the general election.
The annual assessment per property is $110 per year for the 30-year life of the project.
This includes the initial cost of construction of $2.3 million, and the on-going maintenance
of the beautification improvements.
Annexation Benefits
Local Government
The City of Winter Springs operates under a Commission/Manager form of government
and is recognized as a highly effective, professionally managed organization. To its credit,
the City has maintained the lowest ad valorem tax rate in comparison to all other cities in
Seminole County.
The City Commission has established long range plans and objectives to insure that the
quality of life of its' residents is maintained. Well-planned' projects like the "Town Center"
and the "Tuscawilla Lighting Beautification District" will enhance the livability of Winter
Springs in the future. Once annexation takes place, the City of Winter Springs will also
represent the Dyson Drive area's interests and local needs at the County, State and
Federal government level.
The city also prints a quarterly newsletter called "Insider" which reports the news and
activities of the City Commission, and the boards and committees. The newsletter helps to
keep its citizens informed of the activities and special events scheduled in the area.
The City Commission has appointed a number of Advisory Boards and Committees to
support the operations of the City. These Advisory Boards and Committees are listed as
follows:
2
l. Beautification of Winter Springs Board 6. Oak Forest Wall & Beautification
District Advisory Committee
2. Board of Adjustment
7. Planning and Zoning Board/ Local
3. Board of Trustees - Employee Pension Planning Agency
Plan
8. Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification
4. Code Enforcement Board District Advisory Committee
5. Council of Local Governments
As a resident of the city, the Commission InVItes you to partIcIpate in your local
government not only as a citizen but also as an appointed member of these important
advisory boards and committees.
Police Services
The City of Winter Springs maintains one of the highest levels of police services available
in Central Florida. The Police Department is trained and dedicated to providing
professional and responsive services, which protect the citizens of Winter Springs.
Currently the City maintains a police force with 54 sworn officers. This computes to a
ratio of one sworn officer for every 586 residents that are within minutes of your home if
help is needed. The County Sheriffs' office maintains one sworn officer for every 1139
county residents and covers an area of over 298 square miles as compared to 17.3 square
miles for the City of Winter Springs.

With Winter Springs having 94 % more sworn police officers per capita and 106 %
quicker emergency response rate, a much higher level of police protection is provided
within the city limits when compared to Seminole County. This higher level of service has
resulted in the City of Winter Springs having the lowest crime rate compared to all
other governmental jurisdictions in Seminole County. For example, the crime rate in
unincorporated Seminole County is 25% higher than the City of Winter Springs
(See Attachment C - Crime Data).
Parks Services
The Winter Spring Parks and Recreation program is one of the finest community systems
in the area. The city is very proud of the positive steps it has taken to insure that the Park
and Recreation Department will continually strive to fulfill the recreation needs of its
residents. As a resident, you will have the opportunity to take advantage of the city's
modern park facilities and programs without incurring non-resident fees and charges.
The City has 8 park sites that are developed for public use with approximately 350 acres
available for active recreation, passive recreation, and open space preservation. For the
1999-2000-budget year, the city committed to an aggressive improvement program
funded in the amount of $2,650,000.00. With the groundbreaking ceremonies held on
October 24, 1999, at both Torcaso and Trotwood Parks, the city kicked off this
aggressive improvement program.
Community Development
Plallning/Del'elopment
The City's Comprehensive Plan offers residents protection from land uses that pose a
potential nuisance to residential areas, or are greatly different residential densities such as
between single family homes and apartments. The City has strong zoning regulations that
offer protection to residential areas from disparate land uses that may cause significant
negative impacts. Of particular interest is the newly adopted Town Center District
(zoning) regulations that have an emphasis on design and allow for much flexibility to
encourage creativity in the development of the Town Center. The City has generally
4
stronger land development regulations than the County or the Cities of Oviedo and
Casselberry.
Arborist
The city is dedicated to the preservation of the city forest, and has been recognized by the
National Arbor Day Foundation and the Florida Division of Forestry as a "Tree City
U.S.A." for the past II years. As part the certification, the city holds an annual Tree
Give-Away for the residents of the city, and provides upon request, free tree chips from
our tree trimming activities. Our City Arborist is highly qualified to provide support,
recommendations, and information to our residents on tree issues.
Code Enforcement
In order to aehieve certain community goals, such as upholding property values, insuring
safe construction, and protecting the environment, the City of Winter Springs has made a
commitment to maintaining an aggressive code enforcement program. This program is
proactive in eomparison to the complaint-driven program used by the county for
unincorporated areas.

380 %
Currently Seminole County services a population of 360,000 people with a total of 5 field
officers. The City of Winter Springs services a population of 30,000 with 2 field officers.
This means that in Winter Springs there is 1 code enforcement officer for every 15,000
residents and in Seminole County there is I code enforcement officer for every 72,000
residents. The level of service, therefore, is 380 % greater in Winter Springs.
The Code Enforcement Division is also involved in the drafting of ordinances, the
development of land use policies and programs, as well as the implementation of alternate
code enforcement methods. Code enforcement maintains an active program for
identifYing and correcting problems while they are small, before they become major
neighborhood issues.
Public Works Department
The Public .Works Department provides quality, modern public works services, and can
solve facility and infrastructure problems quickly and efficiently. It prides itself on having
5
modem equipment, which is used to provide short range, and long range planned
infrastructure maintenance. The Water and Sewer Department has adequate capacity to
handle future planned growth, thus ensuring the continued development and expansion of
the city's tax base.
Street Maintenance
All public streets and right of ways will be transferred to the City public works department
for regularly scheduled and budgeted maintenance. Should any special maintenance
services be required in the future, you would contact your local City of Winter Springs
Public Works Department. The city maintains a program for adding streetlights and
providing -stormwater improvements in those neighborhoods when needed.
Sidewalks
The city provides a program for constructing sidewalks and has budgeted for sidewalk
improvements on Dyson Drive within city limits, based on input from the Seminole
County School Safety Advisory Committee, Sidewalk Sub-Committee. This committee
prepared an Elementary School Sidewalk Needs Assessment in 1996 and found Dyson
Drive to Tuskawilla Road to be in need of sidewalks per Florida Statue 234.021. The city
has placed sidewalks on all streets delineated in this report within the city limits and Dyson
Drive will complete our commitment.
Mosquito Control
The city has an active Mosquito Control Program administered by the Public Works
Department. Our efforts focus on the control of mosquitoes through monitoring for
larvaciding, and adult control by High Volume Low-Pressure aerial application. Our
HVLP spraying is based on the needs identified by our residents.
Stormwater Utility
The Stormwater Utility is a special purpose service unit within city government that
provides stormwater management. Like other utilities, the Stormwater Utility charges a
service fee. These fees are utilized for planning, construction, maintenance, inspection and
operation of facilities for stormwater management.
Fire Department
The City of Winter Springs Fire Department maintains state-of-the art firefighting
equipment, which includes Advanced Life Support Service. The City currently provides
Fire, Medical and Emergency responses for the Dyson Drive neighborhood. The City's
"Fire Station 26", on Northern Way, is the closest fire station to Dyson Drive. After
annexation the county tax of 2.7562 mills for fire services and road improvements
will be deleted.
Should a resident of the Dyson Drive neighborhood require emergency medical transport,
the city fees for those services would be identical to the standard fee of $304.51 which is
charged by Seminole County.
6
Future Utility Costs
The City has evaluated the use of existing septic systems in the Dyson neighborhood and
has no current plans to install a new sewer system. The existing septic systems would only
be replaced if there was a public health need or the residents of Dyson Drive requested the
installation of sanitary sewers.
Fees and Taxes upon Annexation
For the purpose of estimating the changes in taxes and fees after annexation, the Seminole
County Assessors office provided information to compute the average taxable value of the
homes for the Dyson Drive neighborhood. For the purpose of this comparative analysis,
an average taxable value of $101,500 was used. (See Attachment E - Annual Ad Valorem
Taxes and Franchise Fees County/City Comparisons.)
It is estimated that after annexation the net result in Ad Valorem tax would be an increase
of .7933 mills per household. This computes to be $80.50 per year for the average home
in the Dyson Drive area. The changes in franchise fees would increase the total by $85.44.
Because Seminole County charges an annual fee for street lighting and the City of Winter
Springs does not have a street lighting tax, $27.88 would be subtracted from the total.
After all additions and subtractions were calculated we project that the average tax impact
will be an increase of$138.06 after annexation.
Questions and Answers
1. What improvements will be installed for the Dyson Drive Area?
The improvements for the Dyson Drive neighborhood would include a decorative brick
entry wall with signage that will be located at the intersection of Tuscawilla Road. and
Dyson Drive. Included in the proposal are landscaping enhancements for the existing
medians on Dyson Drive. These landscape elements are specifically designed to be
compatible with the existing streetscaping conditions and the existing landscaping within
the medians. (See Attachment C - Improvement Details)
2. If I annex into the City of Winter Springs how will it affect my taxes and fees?
7
It is projected that after annexation the net result in Ad Valorem tax would be an increase
of .7933 mills. The principal changes result from the deletion of the county's Road and
Fire tax, which is 2.7562 mills, and the addition of the City of Winter Springs municipal
tax, which is 3.7708 mills. This computes to be $80.50 per year for the average home in
the Dyson Drive area. It is also estimated that franchise fees would increase by an
additional $85.44.
Because Seminole County charges an annual fee for street lighting and the City of Winter
Springs does not have a street lighting tax, $27.88 would be subtracted from the total.
Therefore, it is estimated that the average tax and fee obligation would increase by
$138.06 after annexation.
3. Are there any services that I have now that will be lost with Annexation?
No, because you will continue to be a Seminole County resident, you will continue to
receive all of the services you now receive. The responsibility for some services will br
transferred to the City of Winter Springs. The primary changes will include Police, Fire,
Emergency Transport, Permits, Code Enforcement and Public Works. Because these
services will be administered locally the quality and responsiveness of the services will be
better.
4. Will there be any new services that I receive as a city resident?
Yes, you will have the benefit of your local City of Winter Springs governmental
operations nearby. When a problem or issue needs to be addressed, you can work with
your local officials for a proper and responsive solution.
Your City Commission, Planning Board, Zoning Board and other local citizen boards are
all focused on local issues affecting your neighborhood and community. You are also
invited to participate in all of their meetings. Also, as a resident of the City you will be
able to take advantage of all the city's parks and park programs without a county
surcharge.
5. Who will maintain my streets and utilities and what will happen to my existing
septic sewer system?
The City has evaluated the use of existing septic systems in the Dyson neighborhood and
has no plans to install a new sewer system. Should the existing septic system require
replacement in the future, the city sewer plant has capacity to accommodate the Dyson
neighborhood.
All public streets and rights-of-way will be transferred to the city for regular maintenance.
Should any special maintenance services be required in the future, you would contact your
local City of Winter Springs Public Works Department.
8
6. How do I know my taxes won't increase in the future?
There is no guarantee that taxes will not increase in the future. The City of Winter Springs
governmental operations are recognized as highly effective and professionally managed.
To its credit, the City has maintained the lowest Ad Valorem tax rate when compared to
all of the other cities in Seminole County
7. How does annexation occur, what do I have to do and by when?
To participate in the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification program the residents of
Dyson Drive will need to vote to annex into the City of Winter Springs and to participate
in the special assessment district. The vote on these issues should occur in early 2002.
