REQUEST: Community Development Department requesting the City Commission consider and approve a final engineering/site plan for a 10,000 S.F. addition, with the associated ancillary improvements, to an existing 2,500 S.F. office on 2A9 acres located on the north side of SR 434, between Barclay Reserve and Barrington Estates. PURPOSE: The purpose of this Agenda Item is to request that the City Commission approve a final engineering/site plan for this 2A9-acre site. The site has a Commercial Future Land Use designation and is within the C-1 Neighborhood Commercial zoning district as well as the SR 434 New Development Overlay Zoning District. APPLICABLE LAW: Chapter 5, City Code. Chapter 9, City Code. Chapter 16, City Code. Chapter 20, City Code. CONSIDERATIONS: The rectangular 2A9-acre site (approximately 167' x 648') has a Commercial Future Land Use (FLU) designation and is within the C-1 Neighborhood Commercial zoning district as well as the SR 434 New Development Overlay Zoning District. The site contains an existing 2,500 S.F. office building (a converted residence) and detached accessory buildings. It is surrounded on three sides by walls (east and north by Barrington Estates and west by Barclay Reserve). One detached building (20.1' x 103.1' = 2,072 S.F.), located toward the rear and east side of the site, near Barrington Estates, is proposed to remain for storage. The site is adjacent to and will connect to potable water and sanitary sewer service from the City of Winter Springs, which has adequate capacity to serve this site. An existing well will provide landscape irrigation. November 27,2006 Regular Item 300 Page 2 of 3 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND WETLANDS: The site contains an existing O.1O-acre wetland pond toward the rear of the site. The S1. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) has authorized the applicant to utilize the existing wetland pond for stormwater attenuation (Permit No. 40-117-104077-1, issued October 6,2006). The proposed stormwater management system consists of an onsite collection system, a dry detention pond with underdrains, a wet detention pond, and a spreader swale. The project has been designed and approved by SJRWMD for compliance with the District's new phosphorous loading requirements, meaning that the applicant has demonstrated that the post-development phosphorous loading from the site is less than the pre-development phosphorous loading. SJRWMD implemented the pre/post phosphorous loading requirements in January 2006 for new projects located close enough to Lake Jesup to be considered to have a direct stormwater discharge to the lake. Lake Jesup is impaired for phosphorous (and nitrogen), and the new requirements are designed to make new developments surrounding impaired water bodies reduce their phosphorous loadings below the pre-development conditions. This is the first project in the City that has been subject to these stricter stormwater requirements. The dry detention pond with underdrains is an offline system that will provide the required water quality recovery, and the existing wet pond will attenuate the mean annual and 25-year/24-hour storm event before discharging to a spreader swale, and ultimately discharging to Lake Jesup. The project will have no unacceptable adverse secondary and cumulative impacts to wetlands, water quality, and upland habitat for aquatic and wetland dependent fish or wildlife listed as endangered, threatened, or of special concern. PARKING AND TRAFFIC: The proposed 10,000 S.F. office building addition is accompanied by a total of39 parking spaces (12,500/400 = 31 required; 2 HC required - 4 provided), a dumpster pad enclosure, the above mentioned storm-water management facilities, and sidewalks. The new office building will generate an estimated 110 daily trips and 16 peak hour trips. A traffic study was not required for this low volume of traffic in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. The required offsite transportation improvements consist of striping modifications on S.R. 434 to provide a left turn lane at the entrance, and a short right-turn deceleration lane. LANDSCAPE: The landscape and irrigation plans have been modified to meet code. AESTHETIC REVIEW: An aesthetic review, pursuant to sections 9-600 through 9-606 of the City Code, is required before a building permit may be issued for the site. To retain the existing approximately 2060 S.F. storage building, the applicant must either provide modifications to the existing storage building to make it consistent with the new office building or else seek a waiver of the Subsection 20-476 (a) prohibition on metal siding. 2 November 27,2006 Regular Item 300 Page 3 of 3 Site lighting is proposed through building-mounted coach-type lamp fixtures to provide safety without glare or spillage onto the adjacent residential properties. No off-site spillage is allowed beyond 0.5 foot-candles (none expected with this type of fixtures and the surrounding walls). Lighting fixtures will be addressed through the aesthetic review. The applicant hopes to have the aesthetic review hearing occur concurrently with this site plan at the November 27 City Commission meeting. PLANNING & ZONING BOARD ACTION: At its regularly scheduled meeting of November 1,2006, the P&Z Board voted 3-2 to recommend approval of the final engineering/site plan, subject to addressing the building-mounted lighting and the existing storage building through the aesthetic review and modifying the landscape and irrigation plans. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning & Zoning Board and Staff recommend that the City Commission approve the attached final engineering/site development plan, subject to addressing the building-mounted lighting and the existing storage building through the aesthetic review.

Community Development Department Requesting The Planning And Zoning (P&Z) Board Consider And Approve A Final Engineering/Site Plan For A 10,000 Square Foot Addition, With The Associated Ancillary Improvements, To An Existing 2,500 Square Foot Office On 2.49 Acres Located On The North Side Of State Road 434, Between Barclay Reserve And Barrington Estates. Mr. John Baker, ASLA, Senior Planner, Community Development Department presented this Agenda Item and stated, "We do recommend approval subject to having the building mounted lighting and the storage building addressed through the aesthetic review and the landscape architect making some very minor modifications to the landscaping irrigation plans." Mr. David Allen, P.E., President, Allen-Craig Civil Engineering, Inc., 361 South Central Avenue, Oviedo: spoke to the Advisory Board Members about this Agenda Item. Mr. Allen said, "We have been working on this particular site for a good while trying to keep the existing office that is there and work in some additional building space. When we first started, there were a significant number of out buildings that were damaged during the hurricanes. Those have been removed. We have since then rearranged the way we were going to do it the first time. We have met with Staff and attempted to meet everything that they requested. One thing that I will say, our permit with the [St. Johns] Water Management District allows us to remove the wetland that is in the back. We did that in order to release us from any setbacks from that particular wetland. The District has agreed that it was a man made pond. It had no real intrinsic value; that it was basically just a whole in the ground. However, Mr. King [Don King's Concrete, Inc.] asked us if we would not take it out, because he likes it." Mr. Allen then said, "While we do have the right to remove it, our plan does not take that right. We will still keep it there. We have created a storm water pond around it and will fill in to it during heavy rain storms, but then seeps down as it is required in the stormwater management permitting. Everything that we have approached Staff with has been very graciously received, although not graciously approved, and we have had to go back and modify some things. But, the way we have it set now, we believe it is the best situation for both our client and for the City." Discussion ensued on the lighting. With further discussion, Mr. Allen then said, "There is an existing swale that was constructed during the Barrington Estates project. It is on their property, but it is outside of their wall. What we have done, is, we have created a swale just before you get into their swale to - spread out the impact of our development and that is the way we plan to mitigate any of our stormwater. And at the same time, there are some plantings that are going in that general area, but we do not want to do anything significant back there, because we basically want to keep it as close to what it is as we can." Further discussion ensued on the existing walls. Mr. Allen said, "There is a short section of our common property line with the Barclay [Reserve] that does not have a wall - and that is in the part of their side that was very close to being jurisdictional. Their jurisdictional line is right inside their property and they choose not to go down that far with their wall." Mr. Allen said, "There was some discussion about not getting so close to jurisdictional land. That is why there is that one (1) section. We do not plan to do anything over in that area either. Simply because we want to stay as far away from that jurisdictional area as we can." With further discussion, Mr. Allen said, "There is an existing shed behind the existing building. That is going to stay. But, that is pretty much an open shed; three (3) sided. The existing residential building that was converted to an office, the client wanted to keep, but he needed an additional- about 8,000 square feet for his business." Mr. Allen stated, "Earlier today my partner, Mike Craig called me and said that his discussion with our landscape person was that the landscaping was fine, but there were three (3) or four (4) notes that needed to be added to the irrigation sheet." "WITH THE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE FINAL ENGINEERING SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUBJECT TO ADDRESSING THE BUILDING MOUNTED LIGHTING IN THE EXISTING STORAGE BUILDING TO THE AESTHETIC REVIEW AND MODIFYING THE LANDSCAPE AND IRRIGATION PLANS, I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE FINAL ENGINEERING PLANS WITH THOSE STIPULATIONS."
