Chapter 9. Land Development.
Chapter 20, Division 7. Neighborhood Commercial Districts.
Chapter 20, Article VI. SR 434 Corridor Vision Plan, Division 2. General Design Standards for
New Development Area
FINDINGS:
The development agreement is authorized pursuant to the Municipal Home Rule Powers Act, as
provided in s 2(b), Article VIllofthe Florida Constitution and Chapter 166, Section 166.021, Florida
Statutes.
The development agreement is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Code of Ordinances.
The development agreement provides for reasonable use of the subject property, while addressing issues
and concerns pertinent to the present and future use of the site.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Staff has addressed the pertinent issues set forth within this development agreement with both the
developer and with abutting residents. The City Arborist has met on-site with the development team to
determine which trees can realistically be preserved. None of the trees in the interior of the site can
realistically be saved, due to the volume of fill material that will be placed there. A number of trees
along the east side of the site can be saved and this document addresses ways to save those trees and
provides the developer monetary credit against the arbor fee for the cost of providing tree protection and
buffering above and beyond the requirements of the City Code.
The attached geometry plan depicts 30 feet between the east property line and a substantial portion of the
proposed wall, in order to save as many trees as possible.
The applicant must still provide detailed engineering/site plans (with landscaping) that must meet all
applicable codes, except as otherwise specified in the development agreement. The City Commission
may chose to approve the development agreement with its associated geometry plan and allow staff to
ensure all the engineering, health/safety, and landscape details are correct or it may chose to require final
approval to come back to the City Commission.
The draft development agreement has been forwarded to the City Attorney for review and comment
along with staff recommendations.

consistent with the Conservation Easement. In that regard, the deed of
conveyance shall contain a restriction that the Buffer shall be used as open area /
green space by Stone Gable Homeowner's Association and shall not be used for
6
the construction of any structures whatsoever. The Conservation Easement can be

Ht the February 18th Commission meeting one of us will
speak on the sUbject matter referred to in the attached
eHcerpts from the Declarations of Couenants .... for Stone
Gable. The' entire document is auailable on request but I
eHtracted the attached statements for background material
for the Mayor and City Commissioners belieuing that it is
easier to read in this form than by searching pages. I will
haue my complete copy auailable at the meeting.
I think it will take the owners of 34 properties to uote aye
on anneHing the 38 foot buffer area. Don't think that will
euer happen, so this will become an important consideration
of which the city should be aware. I am enclosing 12 copies,
ten for the Commission, Clerk, etc., and one for you and one
for the City Manager.
Please include the attached in the packages for the Mayor
and City Commission. If I need to write a couer letter for this

Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners,
City of Winter Springs
1126 East State Road 434
Winter Springs, Florida 32708
Dear Mayor and Commissioners:
This communique is in response to the meeting on 17 January 2003 where an alternate proposal concerning
the natural buffer area between the proposed Villaggio site and the Stone Gable subdivision was presented to
representatives of the Stone Gable POA. It is my understanding that this proposal consists of the following:
~ A natural buffer of existing trees would be retained immediately adjacent to Stone Gable's western
property line. Adjacent to the western boundary of the natural buffer, a six (6) foot decorative fence
- with a stamped and dyed concrete fascia - would extend from a point thirty (30) feet west of the
northernmost comer of Lot 1 to a point thirty (30) feet west of the southernmost edge of Lot 3. At
that point the wall would begin to slant inward toward the Stone Gable western property line at a
rate of approximately six (6) feet per lot starting thirty (30) feet west of the northernmost comer of
Lot 4 and proceeding to the southernmost comer of Lot 7,
~ Using the Arbor Funds, the City of Winter Springs would purchase the natural buffer area and deed
it to the Stone Gable POA with the proviso of a permanent conservation easement that would
restrict the removal of any trees, the construction of temporary or permanent sheds, buildings, etc.
Common access will be provided for maintenance and general use by members of the Stone Gable
POA.
The above proposal provides yet another alternative resolution; however, it does not address a number of
concerns that include but are not limited to: adequate drainage, danger trees, maintenance, insurance, taxes,
etc. regarding the proposed buffer area. Additionally, the justification for using the decorative fence is based
on the purported claims of speculative technology - the long-term effects of which are unknown. As
presented, I further believe that the current proposal forces the majority of the affected residents to accept a
less suitable alternative without sufficient details or timing to make a prudent decision on matters that will
have a long term affect on our property values.
Commission_Proposal_2.doc
January 21, 2003
-Page 2-
In closing, it is my belief that the proposal outlined in my letter, dated December 26, 2002, provides a fair
and equitable resolution. If however, the City opts to save more trees by purchasing the proposed buffer
area, I would prefer that a permanent concrete block wall be constructed instead of the decorative fence
being considered. This would be a more substantive, secure and long-term barrier between both properties.
Since I have not been afforded the opportunity to review the most recent proposal in detail, nor have I been
provided information relative to the concerns raised, I look forward to learning more at the Commission
meeting.
Sincerely,
Larry G. Bonner

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and Commission
Ronald W. McLemore, City Manager f2.v1(f\
FROM:
DATE:
February 10,2003
SUBJ:
Villagio
The purpose of this memo is to summarize the remaining issues of which we are aware.
-
This matter has continued to evolve since Wednesday's publication of the agenda.
On Wednesday, we advised you that the attorneys were continuing to hammer out the final details of the
development agreement and that the agreement would be available this past Friday. The agreement was
not received until after the close of offices Friday. The following discussion is to bring the Commission
up to date on issues as of this date.
Buffer & Wall: Section 20-469 of the City Code requires a 6 foot tall masonry wall between commercial
development and residential property - no other buffer is required adjacent the residential lots. Along the
7 adjacent residential lots in Stone Gable, the developer proposes to provide a 6 foot tall die-cast concrete
wall, the panels of which would resemble brick or stone on the east side. The idea of using die-cast wall
sections was to allow the wall to be constructed without a continuous footer, which would sever the roots
to many of the 61 trees to be saved. The portion of the wall adjacent to the Stone Gable storm-water pond
and along the southern portion of the site (to the wetland buffer) will be a masonry wall with a continuous
footer, The wall 'would be set back 30 feet from the adjacent Stone Gable lots # 1-3 and then taper to the
property line adjacent to lot 7.
Tree Ordinance/Tree Replacement Assessment: The development plan is vested under the tree
regulations that existed prior to adoption of Ordinance No. 2002-08. If the site were cleareut, except for
the wetlands, the applicable tree replacement fee would be $104,300 (less replacements) and the arbor
permit fee would be $9,730. Two (2) scenarios are contemplated and the associated fees are calculated
for each: (I) the developer builds the wall 30 feet from the property line and conveys title of the
landscape buffer to the Stone Gable HOA and an easement to the City and (2) the Stone Gable HOA does
not accept the landscape buffer and the wall is built along the eastern property boundary. This is
described verbally on pages 4-7 of the document and in tabular form in exhibit "e."

,,'
Stone Gable Deceleration Lane: Within 7 years, if either the City or FOOT determines a
deceleration lane into Stone Gable is necessary, the applicant will provide anI I foot wide strip of 434
frontage. Such dedication will not jeopardize either or both of the site's curb-cuts or the median cut. The
site will not otherwise be affected (e.g. setbacks, buffers, open space) except that the monument sign
depicted at the northeast comer of the site may need to be relocated.
Detailed Engineering Plans: The development agreement has, as an attachment, the site geometry
plan. Detailed paving, drainage, utility, electrical, lighting, and landscape plans have not been supplied
and must be provided, consistent with code (or as otherwise specified in the development agreement. The
agreement authorizes the City Manager or his designee to determine that the sufficiency of these plan
details.
Tree Protection: In addition to those required by the City's arbor regulations, this agreement sets
forth specific tree protection methods and procedures in Exhibit "0," to ensure the viability of the trees to
be saved.
Easements: The development agreement provides for certain easements: (I) vehicular and pedestrian
cross-access easements to the properties to the east and west (pursuant to Sec. 20-472); (2) a conservation
easement over the remaining wetlands and the associated 25 foot wide upland buffer; and (3) a drainage
easement over the existing drainage pipe that extends from the Stone Gable storm-water pond, across the
applicant's property.
EXHmITS
Exhibit A is the site plan which you already have. You will need to decide which of the two alternative
buffer walls you desire to approve in order to finalize the site plan.
Exhibit B is simply the legal description that will be inserted by the attorneys after you approve the fmal
site plan.
Exhibit C points out the tree credits that are recommended based upon the two alternative locations of the
buffer wall
Exhibit D sets out tree preservation construction standards that the developer will have to carry out.
