MGR. ~EPT C~
Authorization '
REQUEST: The Parks and Recreation Department requests that the City Commission consider
granting a waiver to provisions of the Arbor Ordinance # 2002-08 for purposes of
construction of park facilities at Central Winds Park.
PURPOSE: This agenda Item is needed to exempt the city from the provisions of the tree
ordinance to construct desired and mandated public park facilities,
CONSIDERATION:
. On September 4, 2001 a majority of the Citizens of Winter Springs voted for a bond
referendum to acquire and develop property adjacent to Central Winds Park know as the
Parker Property,
. On March 11, 2002 the City Commission accepted the Central Winds Park Expansion and
Concept Plan from the AD Hoc Advisory Committee,
. The report includes Sports Fields (2 football, 2 soccer, 2 softball and 2 baseball).
. On April 8, 2002, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No, 2002-08 Arbor Ordinance,
. The Arbor Ordinance allows tree removal by the City or other Governmental Agency which
are located within a Public Road, Drainage Right-of-way, or Permanent Utility and Drainage
Easement (Section 5-4, B-6),
. Ordinance No. 2002-08 (Arbor Ordinance) Section 5-16, Waivers and Appeals. The City
Commission may grant a waiver to provisions of this chapter where the applicant
demonstrates that the literal interpretation of the Ordinance will deny the applicant
reasonable use of the property,
. There are 15,590 trees on the site 4" or larger.
. The majority of trees on the site (14,900) are 14 years old pines grown to keep an agricultural
exemption,
1
. There is only $ 150,000 available in remaining bond funds for phase I of the Central Winds
Park Expansion Project.
. Being sports fields; this project requires large open spaces, Also due to the 20 ft, difference
in elevation on the property the project requires relocation of soil or extensive import offill,
. The Central Winds Park Expansion project will carefully follow tree protection as outlined in
the tree ordinance for the large oaks to be preserved.
. Tree planting will be incorporated in Phase II with walkways, trail connection, and building,
FUNDING:
If waived as proposed by staff there would be no cost. Without the waiver the cost could be in
excess of $ 600,000,
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Commission waive the provisions of Ordinance No, 2002-08 (Arbor
Ordinance) tree protection ordinance from improvements to Central Winds Park upon the following
findings:
1, Section 5-4 B/6 exempts tree removal on public property from the ordinance, The
Commission finds that the property in question is public property and is therefore
exempt.
2, Section 5-9 B/5 and Section B-16A provides the Commission the authority to waive tree
replacement when it determines that remaining trees are sufficient to comply with the
intent of the ordinance and where the literal interpretation ofthe ordinance will deny the
applicant reasonable use of the property: The Commission finds that the remaining trees
of this property are sufficient for a public park of this type and that the literal
interpretation of the ordinance would deny the applicant, in this case the city, from
reasonable use of its property which has been set a side to construct park facilities as
provided in the City's Comprehensive Plan and to fulfill a public mandate to construct
park facilities as provided in a referendum of the citizens of Winter Springs.
