REQUEST: The Community Development Department - Planning Division requests the City
Commission formally receive the Small Area Study relating to possible annexation of Soldier's
Creek Park and the surrounding area.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to consider the Study Area and Report
prepared by LDI (Land Design Innovations) for the potential costs and benefits associated with
the possible annexation of lands including and surrounding Soldiers Creek Park and the
Environmental Study Center along SR 419.
APPLICABLE LAW:
Florida Statute Chapter 171. Municipal Annexation or Contraction.
Florida Statute Chapter 171.042. (1) Prior to commencing annexation procedures under s. 171.0413,
the governing body of the municipality shall prepare a report setting forth the plans to provide urban
services to any area to be annexed ...
(2) Prior to commencing the annexation procedures under s. 171.0413, the governing body of the
municipality shall file a copy of the report required by this section with the board of county
commissioners.
CHRONOLOGY:
March 28.2005 - Commission authorized the Study related to the City's possible acquisition and
annexation of Soldier's Creek Park..
CONSIDERATIONS:
. Based on discussions with Seminole County regarding Soldiers Creek Park in 2005, the City
authorized Land Design Innovations to conduct a Study to determine the associated costs and
revenues associated with annexation of Soldier's Creek Park and the surrounding area.
. The area under consideration is contiguous to the City's northwest boundary and is currently
under Seminole County's jurisdiction.

Regular Item 303
Page 2 of 2
. Property ownership, number of parcels, acreage, and location and number of registered voters
were assessed to define the Study Area boundary, based on opportunity for potential
annexation according to Chapter 171, Florida Statutes and include two scenarios.
. Annexation of this area would expand the City boundaries along SR 419 and enable the City
to take over responsibility of Soldier's Creek Park as well as add commercial and industrial
ad-valorem tax revenues. Current and future ad-valorem taxes at build-out are included.
. The Study identifies costs associated with the provision of public services to each of the
scenarios within the Study Area.
. Additional information identifies current utility service providers; current and future land
uses; wetlands; environmental constraints; and aerial photographs.
FINDINGS:
. The potential ad-valorem tax revenues from existing development and the potential ad-
valorem tax revenues from the ultimate build-out of the vacant parcels are offset against the
estimated annual service costs to the City.
. Potential revenues versus potential costs to the City should Scenario 1 be annexed into the
City is an ANNUAL LOSS to the City of <$357,279.79> (see Table 1.6, page 20).
Scenario 1 has limited expanded development potential due to environmental constraints.
. Potential revenues versus potential costs to the City should Scenario 2 be annexed into the
City is an ANNUAL LOSS to the City of <$46,233.56> (see Table 2.6, page 36). Scenario 2
is typified by conservation areas and wetlands and has limited expanded development
potential due to environmental constraints.
. Anticipated costs for park reconstruction, upgrades, and enhancement are in addition to the
annual loss identified above and are identified at <~$4,271,300.00> (see Appendix Item 3,
page 46).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Commission receive the Small Area Study Report related to
Soldiers Creek Park and the surrounding area and determine what course of action, if any, the
Commission wishes to take based on the Study.

INTRODUCTION
This small area study report examines two (2) potential annexation scenarios for the City of Winter
Springs. The study evaluates potential annexation scenarios located to the north and northwest of
the City and west of Lake J esup. This report details the number of parcels, acreages, primary
property owners, current ad-valorem tax revenues, potential ad-valorem tax revenues from ultimate
build-out, and the costs associated with the provision of public services to each of the study areas
offset against current and potential tax revenues. Additional information provided identifies: current
utility service providers; current and future land uses; location and number of any registered electors
within each annexation scenario; wetlands; environmental constraints; and aerial photographs.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The potential ad-valorem tax revenues from existing development and the potential ad-valorem tax
revenues from the ultimate build-out of the vacant parcels are offset against the estimated service
costs to the City. The summary amounts are presented for each scenario based on information and
data that has been provided by Seminole County and the City of Winter Springs.
Scenario 1
Scenario 1 is the yellow cross-hatch area along US 17-92. This area is typified by commercial,
retail and fast food development along the US 17-92 corridor. Scenario 1 has limited
expanded development potential due to environmental constraints. Redevelopment of
existing facilities and structures represents the best opportunity for increased future ad-
valorem revenue. Soldier's Creek Park is located here. Potential revenues versus potential
costs to the City should this area be annexed into the City is an annual LOSS to the City of
<$357,279.79> .
Scenario 2
Scenario 2 is the reddish cross hatch area northwest of the City. This area is typified by
conservation areas and wedands. Limited development potential due to environmental
constraints. The Environmental Studies Center is located in this area. Potential revenues
versus potential costs to the City should this area be annexed into the City is an annual LOSS
to the City of <$46,233.56>.

TWO (2) SMALL STUDY SCENARIOS
This report evaluates two(2) small study areas shown on the following map. These two areas are
located within unincorporated Seminole County and do not contain any registered electors.
SMALL AREA STUDY BOUNDARIES
AERIAL OF PROPOSED
ANNEXATION SCENARIOS
Scenario 1-General Information
Scenario 1 is located to the north-west of the existing City of Winter Springs municipal
boundaries along US 17-92 and running north to the County Roads 419/427 intersection.
See Map-1.1
Parcel Ownership and Acreage
The Scenario 1 small area study subject area is comprised of 21 parcels1, with overall
size of ~189.159 acres. Two (2) property owners in the small study area own over
83% (147.426 of a total 189 acres) of the total acreage and 12 of the total 21 parcels
(57%). These owners are in descending order, the Seminole County Government
(BCC), and the Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (TIITF, State of
Florida). They each possess 101.875 acres, and 45.551 acres respectively.
The TIITF is a division within the Department of Environmental Protection that
purchases environmentally sensitive land for conservation and preservation activities.
The TIITF owned land within the Scenario 1 small area study boundaries is leased to
Seminole County. Contact information for the TIITF is listed in the following
section of this report. Table-t.t details parcel information within the Scenario 1
small area study boundaries.

Potential Costs For The Provision Of Public Services -Scenario 1
The following section of the report details estimated costs for the provision of public
services and or facilities to accommodate the demand generated by new parcels,
businesses or residents that may be incorporated into the City's municipal
boundaries. See Table-1.2 for a summary of potential public service cost. The
estimated annual costs for the provision of public services to the parcels within
Scenario 1 is $428.504.48 The methodology used to determine this cost estimate is
detailed below.
Police
Preliminary discussions with Winters Springs Police Department staff
identified the potential need for at least 4 additional sworn officers, along
with required equipment and vehicles to provide the most basic service
coverage for the Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 small area study areas. These cost
estimates are based on the overall land area, the inclusion of residential and
business uses, and the need to create a new patrol zone. The Winter Springs
Police Department has four rotations, two day and two night rotations which
would account for the need of four additional officers. The estimated annual
cost for the provision of salaries, uniforms, vehicles and equipment for four
officers is $306,031.12. These cost estimates are detailed in the Appendix,
Item #2.
The estimated costs for the provision of law enforcement services was based
on the calls-for-service data and UCR information provide by the Seminole
County Sheriffs Office. The historical data calls for service information was
based on a service area that encompassed both the Scenario 1 and Scenario 2
small study areas. Historic calls-for service data was not available for the
smaller, individual small study areas. The calls-for-service data is detailed in
the Appendix, Item #1.
Fire / EMS
Seminole County Fire Station #35 currendy serves the parcels located within
the small-area-study boundaries. Station 35 is located near the intersection of
US 17-92 CR 427. This station houses the County's Hazardous Materials
unit and Dive Team. Seminole County currendy utilizes a Municipal Service
Taxing Unit (MSTU) to pay for the provision of Fire Safety services within
the unincorporated county. Based on the current taxable value of the parcels
within the small-area-study boundaries ($4,483,573) and the MSTU millage
rate 2.63342 the amount of MSTU revenue received by Seminole County for
Fire Safety services is estimated to be $11,807. The nearest City of Winter
Springs Fire Station that would serve this area is Station 24.
Based on the current locations of Seminole County Fire Station #35 and the
Winter Springs Fire Station #24, Station 35 would continue to service this
area due to its close proximity to the study area. If the City annexes the
2 Seminole County Tax Collector's Office, 2005.

study area, Seminole County would no longer receive the MSTU funds
currendy generated by the parcels within the study area. Should Seminole
County continue to service the area after potential annexation by the City,
the City may wish to evaluate the possible payment of the MSTU funds
previously collected within the study area (~$11,807) to Seminole County in
order to offset the service costs incurred by Seminole County.
Water and Sanitary Sewer
Sanitary sewer and potable water services are provided by Seminole County
Utilities. It is anticipated that Seminole County Utilities would continue to
serve the customers located within Scenario 1 boundaries.
Parks and Recreation
Soldiers' Creek Park facilities are located within Scenario 1 boundaries. The
nearby and Environmental Studies Center is located in Scenario 2 study area.
Soldier's Creeks Park Maintenance
Soldiers Creek Park has a baseball park component a softball park
component and soccer/ football fields.
The baseball portion of Soldier's Creek Park is used by Seminole Pony
Baseball through an exclusive lease agreement with Seminole County. The
lease agreement allows Seminole Pony Baseball to run and operate and
maintain the baseball fields at no cost to the County.
The softball, soccer and football portions of the park are also leased (rented)
to park users. The Softball Club has a priority use agreement with the
County in that they rent (pay) for use of the fields and have concession
rights. However the County pays the maintenance costs. Since October
2004, the County has spent ~$10,0003 to repair and maintain the Soldier's
Creek softball and soccer/football fields. Anticipated expenses for the
remainder of the year is $5,000, bringing the annualized maintenance and
upkeep cost for the Soldier's Creek softball and soccer/football facilities is
$15,000.00. The maintenance and upkeep activities included mowing, field
preparation and maintenance, sprinkler repair, garbage pick-up and overall
clean up. Park maintenance and upkeep required, on average, two people per
day, spending approximately two hours per day, five days a week along with
the necessary equipment (i.e., mowers, tools, bags, etc.).
Soldier's Creek Park Revenue from Operations and Rent
Seminole County receives rent or user fees from park users. During 2004
Gan-Dec.), Seminole County received $4,333.64 in user fees for use of the
Soldiers Creek softball fields and soccer/ football fields.
The net cost for operation and upkeep of the Soldiers Creek Park (upkeep
and operations costs less revenue from users and rent) is $10,666.00.

Soldier's Creek Park Potential Upgrade Costs
Seminole County has identified a potential upgrade scenario of the Soldier's
Creek Park to a state-of-the-art baseball only facility. The estimated upgrade
costs are -$4,000,000 and include six (6) baseball fields ranging in size and
dimensions to accommodate Little League, PONY League, College League
regulations and standards. These costs are not included in the potential public
service costs presented in Table 1.2.
Public Facilities
The additional parcels, streets, businesses and potential future residents that
may be incorporated into the City will generate an increased demand for
public facilities and services other than those previously identified. These
public facilities and services may include, but are not limited to: City Hall;
Administrative Services; Engineering and Permitting services; Code
Enforcement services; and Public Works facilities and services.
Code enforcement services are provided by the City Police Department4 and
are accommodated in the previously provided cost estimates. Permitting and
engineering review services are funded by fees collected for service through
the Development Services Enterprise Fund and would therefore be self-
funded. It is assumed that the current size of the Winter Springs City Hall
facility is adequate to accommodate the potential increase in the municipal
area represented by Scenario 1.
Should the City determine to take over the landscape maintenance and
mowing of the medians and public spaces along CR 419 and US 17-92 the
estimated annual cost of such service is $100,000. These services are
currently provided by Seminole County and the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT).
Potential costs for stormwater facilities and drainage facilities are not
included in Table 1.2. To determine these costs the City would be required
to perform a stormwater master plan and evaluation of the proposed area in
order to identify needed facilities, potential locations of regional stormwater
facilities (if needed) and the potential cost estimates (P&E, land acquisition
and construction).
Additional Public Costs and Safety Concerns
The parcels located in Scenario 1 small study area are primarily located along
US 17-92 and eastward to CR 419. The potential exists for increased calls-
for-services for traffic related activities. The ultimate build-out of the vacant
industrial and commercial vacant areas would also increase the potential
demand for fire safety and EMS services in addition to law enforcement
services.
In addition, the Sprague Electric property, currently located within the
Winter Springs City limits5 is contaminated with TEC's. This property is

currendy undergoing a remediation process with the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection. Several of the commercial properties located
near this site have posted notices on their properties regarding the potential
for contaminated drinking water at their sites. (See related 7/14/05, Orlando
S entine! Article, Appendix).
Existing Service Providers in Small Area Study Boundaries
The following listed agencies and companies provide services to the businesses,
residents and facilities located within and adjacent to the small area study boundaries.
. Water and waste-water services are provided by Seminole County
Utilities.
. Electrical service is provided by the Florida Power Company.
. Telephone service is provided by BellSouth.
. Solid Waste services within the small area study boundaries are provided
through the private contracted fIrm Waste Management Incorporated.
This contract is administered by the Seminole County Environmental
Services Department.
. Law enforcement services are provided by the Seminole County Sheriffs
OffIce and the Winter Springs Police Department through a shared
response/fIrst responder, mutual aid agreement. Law enforcement calls
for service information for the parcels located within the small area study
boundaries is located later in this report.
. Fire safety and EMS services are provided by the Seminole County
Fire/EMS Department, and the Winter Springs Fire Department through
a shared response/fIrst responder agreement. Fire safety and EMS calls
for service information for the parcels located within the small area study
boundaries is located later in this report. Seminole County Fire Station
#35 is the primary provider for Fire/EMS services. The nearest City of
Winter Springs Fire Station that would serve this area is Station 24.
Should the City determine to annex any or all of the parcels within the small area
study boundaries, the City may seek to continue and coordinate the existing
agreements and relationships with the current service providers identifIed previously
in this report in order to maintain a consistent level of service in an efficient and
economical manner.
Small Area Study Scenario 1 Potential Ad-Valorem Tax Revenue
Based on the current taxable parcel values of $4,483,573.00 and the current City
of Winter Springs millage (4.550 mills or .004550) the annual potential ad-valorem
tax revenue, at 95% collection, that the City may receive from the parcels contained
within the small area study is $19,380.24 per year.Table-l.3 shows each parcel and
its value.
11
Land Use Analysis Scenario 1
The following section of the report provides detailed information, as shown on
Table-l.4, of the current use of the parcels within the study area boundaries, the
square feet of residential use and non-residential uses. The majority land use within
the study area boundaries is for conservation uses ~ 144.346 acres. The remainder of
the land uses within Scenario 1 include: Vacant Residential, 11.61 acres; Vacant
Commercial, 10.9 acres; Auto Sales, 9.7 acres and Light Manufacturing, 9.457 acres.
Vacant or Unimproved Property
Based upon a review of the Property Appraiser's Office database there are 7
vacant parcels that may be developed for commercial or residential purposes
if environmental conditions permit. These properties are listed in Table 1.5.
Other vacant parcels are comprised of County Land, Centrally Assessed
properties (CSX lines), Forests and Parks, State Land (TIITF) and
unclassified acreage that is not agricultural. The majority of these parcels are
located within the Spring Hammock area and are characterized by wetlands
and environmentally sensitive (unable to be developed) properties.
Potential Ad- Valorem Revenue from Development of Vacant Parcels
The potential ad-valorem tax revenue that may be generated from the
ultimate development of vacant parcels within Scenario 1 small study area are
based on the parcels' DOR Codes, the associated FAR value for the use,
maximum potential development of the parcels, the current industry
standard6 for the square foot value of residential and non-residential
structures and Regional Cost Modifier for the State of Florida.7. Based on
this information and assumptions, the potential Winter Springs ad-valorem
tax revenue that may be generated from the ultimate development of the
vacant parcels is $51,844.44. The potential ad-valorem tax revenues from the
development of the vacant parcels in Scenario 1 are detailed on Table-l.5.
Location and number of any registered electors within Scenario 1
There are no registered electors within the Scenario 1 area. There are 50 registered
electors (precinct 13) located within the Sunniland Mobile Home Park immediately
adjacent to the Scenario 1 boundaries.
Summary of Annual Public Costs Estimates versus Public Revenues
Table 1.6 details the estimated costs for the provision of public services to the
parcels within Scenario 1 versus the current and potential public revenues from the
same area. These services include law enforcement, fire safety, EMS services and
parks and recreation services discussed previously and may also include the provision
of other public infrastructure including sanitary sewer services, potable water, along

SMALL AREAL STUDY BOUNDARIES
Scenario 2-General Information
Scenario 2 is located to the north and west of the existing City of Winter Springs municipal
boundaries. It includes parcels located west and north west of Lake Jesup and east of US
17 -92. See Map-2.t.
Parcel Ownership and Acreage
The Scenario 2 small area study subject area is comprised of 56 parcels, with overall
size of 1,162.699 acres. Two (2) property owners in the small study area own ~83%
(969.014 of a total 1,162.699 acres) of the total acreage and 28 of the total 56 parcels
(50%) These owners are in descending order, the Seminole County Government
(BCC), and the Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (TIITF, State of
Florida). They each possess 543.421 acres, and 425.593 acres respectively.
The TIITF is a division within the Department of Environmental Protection that
purchases environmentally sensitive land for conservation and preservation activities.
The TIITF owned land within the Scenario 2 small area study boundaries is leased to
Seminole County. Contact information for the TIITF is listed in the following
section of this report. Table-2.t details parcel information within the Scenario 2
small area study boundaries.

There are limited residential uses that are adjacent to the Scenario 2 small area study
boundaries, located at the Sunniland Mobile Home Park. This parcel has been
excluded from the Scenario 2 small area study boundaries. The Sunniland Mobile
Home Park represents the only significant, active residential uses adjacent to the
study area. The Sunniland residents do not own the parcels on which their mobile
homes are located. There are 50 registered voters (precinct 13) within this area.
The land use for the largest proportion of the total area within this Scenario (2) of
the small area study boundaries is conservation. There are also commercial,
24
industrial, manufacturing and warehousing uses currendy located within the Scenario
2 study area. These uses are detailed in the Land Use Analysis section of this report.
Potential Costs For The Provision Of Public Services -Scenario 2
The following section of the report details estimated costs for the provision of public
services and or facilities to accommodate the demand generated by new parcels,
businesses or residents that may be incorporated into the City's municipal
boundaries. See Table-2.2 for a summary of potential public service cost. The
estimated annual costs for the provision of public services to the parcels within
Scenario 2 is $355.806.12. The methodology used to determine this cost estimate is
detailed below.
Police
Preliminary discussions with Winters Springs Police Department staff
identified the potential need for at least 4 additional sworn officers, along
with required equipment and vehicles to provide the most basic service
coverage for the Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 small area study areas. These cost
estimates are based on the overall land area, the inclusion of residential,
business and recreational uses, and the need to create a new patrol zone. The
Winter Springs Police Department has four rotations, two day and two night
rotations which would account for the need of four additional officers. The
estimated annual cost for the provision of salaries, uniforms, vehicles and
equipment for four officers is $306,031.12. These cost estimates are detailed
in the Appendix, Item #2.
The estimated costs for the provision of law enforcement services was based
on the calls-for-service data and UCR information provide by the Seminole
County Sheriffs Office. The historical data calls for service information was
based on a service area that encompassed both the Scenario 1 and Scenario 2
small study areas. Historic calls-for service data was not available for the
smaller, individual small study areas. The calls-for-service data is detailed in
the Appendix, Item #1.
Fire / EMS
Seminole County Fire Station #35 currendy serves the parcels located within
the small-area-study boundaries. Station 35 is located near the intersection of
US 17-92 CR 427. This station houses the County's Hazardous Materials
unit and Dive Team. Seminole County currendy utilizes a Municipal Service
Taxing Unit (MSTU) to pay for the provision of Fire Safety services within
the unincorporated county. Based on the current taxable value of the parcels
within the small-area-study boundaries ($15,973,863) and the MSTU millage
rate 2.633411 the amount of MSTU revenue received by Seminole County for
Fire Safety services is estimated to be $42,065. The nearest City of Winter
Springs Fire Station that would serve this area is Station 24.
11 Seminole County Tax Collector's Office, 2005.
25
Based on the current locations of Seminole County Fire Station #35 and the
Winter Springs Fire Station #24, Station 35 would continue to service this
area due to its close proximity to the study area. If the City annexes the
study area, Seminole County would no longer receive the MSTU funds
currently generated by the parcels within the study area. Should Seminole
County continue to service the area after potential annexation by the City,
the City may wish to evaluate the possible payment of the MSTU funds
previously collected within the study area (-$42,065) to Seminole County in
order to offset the service costs incurred by Seminole County.
Water and Sanitary Sewer
Sanitary sewer and potable water services are provided by Seminole County
Utilities. It is anticipated that Seminole County Utilities would continue to
serve the customers located within Scenario 2 boundaries.
Parks and Recreation
There is one recreational facility located within Scenario 2 boundaries, the
Environmental Studies Center. The Seminole County School Board operates
the Environmental Studies Center.
Environmental Center
Seminole County Parks and Recreation maintains the entryway and some of
boardwalks in the Environmental Study Center. The Seminole County
School Board maintains the Environmental Study Center. For FY
2004/2005 the Seminole County School Board has budgeted $7,710.00 for
maintenance and upkeep costs for the Environmental Study Center12.
Public Facilities
The additional parcels, streets, businesses and potential future residents that
may be incorporated into the City will generate an increased demand for
public facilities and services other than those previously identified. These
public facilities and services may include, but are not limited to: City Hall;
Administrative Services; Engineering and Permitting services; Code
enforcement services; and Public Works facilities and services.
Code enforcement services are provided by the City Police Departmene3 and
are included in the previously provided cost estimates. Permitting and
engineering review services are funded by fees collected for service through
the Development Services Enterprise Fund and would therefore be self-
funded. It is assumed that the current size of the Winter Springs City Hall
facility is adequate to accommodate the potential increase in the municipal
area represented by Scenario 2.

Additional Public Costs and Safety Concerns
Additional costs for upgrades and enhancements of the Soldiers' Creek Park
and Environmental Studies Center are contained in the appendix. These
costs are $200,000 for boardwalk repair and trail upgrades at the
Environmental Studies Center.
Discussion with Winter Springs' public safety officials raised the concern
over the potential fire hazard and hazardous materials based on the location
of the Sunniland fertilizer facility, lumberyard and outdoor storage facilities
(Bell City Amusements) within the study area boundaries.
Existing Service Providers in Small Area Study Boundaries
The following listed agencies and companies provide services to the businesses,
residents and facilities located within and adjacent to the small area study boundaries.
. Water and waste-wate\ services are provided by Seminole County
Utilities.
. Electrical service is provided by the Florida Power Company.
. Telephone service is provided by BellSouth.
. Solid Waste services within the small area study boundaries are provided
through the private contracted firm Waste Management Incorporated.

response/ first responder, mutual aid agreement. Law enforcement calls
for service information for the parcels located within the small area study
boundaries is located later in this report.
. Fire safety and EMS services are provided by the Seminole County
Fire/EMS Department, and the Winter Springs Fire Department through
a shared response/first responder agreement. Fire safety and EMS calls
for service information for the parcels located within the small area study
boundaries is located later in this report. Seminole County Fire Station
#35 is the primary provider for Fire/EMS services.
Should the City determine to annex any or all of the parcels within the small
area study boundaries,. the City may seek to continue and coordinate the
existing agreements and relationships with the current service providers
identified previously in this report in order to maintain a consistent level of
service in an efficient and economical manner.
27
Small Area Study Scenario 2 Potential Ad-Valorem Tax Revenue
Based on the current taxable parcel values of $15,973,863 and the current City of
Winter Springs millage (4.550 mills or .004550) the annual potential ad-valorem tax
revenue, at 95% collection, that the City may receive from the parcels contained
within the small area study is $69,047.02 per year.
Land Use Analysis
The following section of the report provide detailed information as to the current
use of the parcels within the small area study boundaries, the square feet of
residential use and non-residential uses. These uses are detailed in Table 2.4.
Vacant or Unimproved Property
Based upon a review of the Property Appraiser's Office database there are 12
vacant parcels (out of 56 total parcels) without a structure on them that may
be developed for commercial, or industrial purposes. These properties are
listed in table. The are other vacant parcels within the Scenario 2 Study Area
that are comprised of County Land, Centrally Assessed properties (CSX
lines), Forests and Parks, State Land (TnTF) and unclassified acreage that is
not agricultural. The majority of these parcels are located within the Spring
Hammock area and are characterized by wedands and environmentally
sensitive (unable to be developed) properties.
Potential Ad- Valorem Revenue from Development of Vacant Parcels
The potential ad-valorem tax revenue that may be generated from the
ultimate development of vacant parcels within Scenario 2 small study area are
based on the parcels' DOR Codes, the associated FAR value for the use,
maximum potential development of the parcels, the current industry
standardl4 for the square foot value of residential and non-residential
structures and Regional Cost Modifier for the State of Florida.ls. Based on
this information and assumptions the potential Winter Springs ad-valorem
tax revenue that may be generated from the ultimate development of the
vacant parcels is $240,525.50. The potential ad-valorem tax revenues from
the development of the vacant parcels in Scenario 2 are detailed in Table 2.5.
Summary of Annual Public Costs Estimates versus Public Revenues
Table 2.6 details the estimated costs for the provision of public services to the
parcels within Scenario 2 versus the current and potential public revenues from the
same area. The summary estimated annual revenue (loss) to the City of Winter
Springs to provide services to the parcels versus public revenues within Scenario 2 is
<$46,233.56> .

Appendix Item #1 - Historic Calls for Service
The calls for service information listed below is for the parcels generally located
within the .boundaries of small area study scenarios 1 and 2. This information was
compiled by the Seminole County Sheriffs Office. The information is for the period
2000-2005.

requests. For the 1st quarter of 2005 there were 29 calls for service. Of which 18
were patrol requests (Deputy Sheriff patrolling the area). There is a trend of
increasing calls for service to this area, and the associated costs for responding to
these calls. Based on this level of demand a yearly call-for service estimate could be
approximately 116 to 120 total calls for law enforcement services with approximately
72 to 74 of the calls being patrol requests.
There were 407 law enforcement Calls-far-Service for the period of 2000-2005 are

ADVERTISEMENTS
LONGWOOD - Fifty years ago, travelers would stop at an artesian well in Spring
Hammock just off U.S. Highway 17-92 for a cool drink of water. Now, that well
has been capped and the property is part of a federal environmental Superfund site.
Cancer-causing chemical seeps into
groundwater in Longwood
By Rene Stutzman
Sentinel Staff Writer
July 14,2005
Cancer-causing chemieals have contaminated the groundwater, seeping into a small patch ufthe
Floridan Aquifer, the source ofmest of Central Florida's drinking water.
Regulators say there is no danger to the public. The toxins have spread a few hundred feet and are a
half-mile from the closest neighborhood.
The pollution came from an electrical-parts manufacturer, Sprague Electric Co., which cleaned the parts
with the solvent trichloroethene, or TCE, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Another manufacturer, Dearbom Electronics, now operates on the 12-acre site, producing capacitators
but it's not putting pollutants into the ground, according to government records.
Just last month, the EPA mailed letters to neighbors, infonning them of the contamination. The toxins
have been found on adjacent or nearby properties of another manufacturer and Spring Hammock
Preserve, a 400..acre public woodland.
In truth, those neighbors have lived next to the toxins for more than 20 years, and the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection has been involved for 19 of those years.
Still, the contamination hasn't been cleaned up.
"As long as we don't have people directly exposed, taking years doesn't disturb us," said Tom
Lubozynski, a DEP Orlando waste.program administrator.
That's not true for everyone.
One neighbor, Gould Publications, is suing the property's owner, Great American Financial Resources
Inc, of Cincinati. Gould alleges that, while the cleanup has dragged on, toxins have shifted north and
now sit beneath Gould's property, too.

In fact, the greatest concentration ofTCE is now beneath Gould's nine-acre parcel, according to
government environmental records. Groundwater there contains 160 times the acceptable level of TCE,
according to the EP A.
The state was in charge of the cleanup until last year. The EP A took over when Great American began to
blame others for some of the contamination, and the state couldn't determine the source.
Since that bandover, the pace has picked up. The EP A put the site on its Superfund list and ordered
Great American to do a more detailed study of the contamination.
Its plan on how to do that was filed in March and approved in April. A drilling rig was on the site this
week, boring new test wells.
Great American is cooperating, said David Keefer, who's overseeing the EP A cleanup.
Said Tim Sleeth, Great American's lawyer, "We're working diligently with the appropriate government
agencies."
Great American, though, says some of the contaminants now beneath Gould may have come from a
previous owner of Gould's property, according to a report by its environmental contractor, URS Corp.
That tract housed a series of electronics manufacturers, including General Dynamics and United
Technologies, from 1959 to 1988, according to the URS report, and they likely used the same toxic
cheraicals.
Keefer said there's no evidence the pollution came from anywhere but the Sprague property.
