TITLE
Adoption of Resolution 2026-06: Blake Commons Lot 1 Lot Split.
SUMMARY
The subject site consists of one 1.316-acre conforming lot of record, Lot 1 from SUBD-
2024-0422, the Blake Commons subdivision, as recorded on the plat thereof in
Seminole County Plat Book 91, Page 65. The site is located at the northeast corner of
the intersection of S.R. 434 and Michael Blake Boulevard. The subject property is
located within the Town Center zoning district, T-5 Transect, and has a Future Land Use
(FLU) of Town Center. The property is subject to Development Agreement for the Blake
Commons entered into between the City and Tuskawilla Retail Partners II, LLC, on
August 25, 2025, recorded in the official records of Seminole County at Official Record
Book 10887, Page 649. The subject property is currently undeveloped. There is a
historic oak tree on the existing Lot 1 with a dripline of 39 feet. The subject property
contains a 15 ft. wide utility easement along its southern boundary, recorded at Official
Record Book 7486, Page 155.
The applicant is proposing to split the existing Blake Commons Lot 1 (Parcel ID. 06-21-
31-510-0000-0010) into two (2) resulting lots of record. The westernmost new lot of
record, Parcel 1A, shall consist of 0.80 acres, more or less, and the easternmost new lot
of record, Parcel 1B, shall consist of 0.52 acres, more or less. Each resulting lot of record
would meet the lot size and dimensional requirements of the Town Center, T-5 Transect
zoning district, as modified by the waivers (WAIV-2025-0005 and WAIV-2025-0008)
granted for the subject property.

Background Data:
The subject site consists of one 1.316-acre conforming lot of record, Lot 1 from SUBD-
2024-0422, the Blake Commons subdivision, as recorded on the plat thereof in
Seminole County Plat Book 91, Page 65. The site is located at the northeast corner
of the intersection of S.R. 434 and Michael Blake Boulevard. The subject property
is located within the Town Center zoning district, T-5 Transect, and has a Future
Land Use (FLU) of Town Center. The property is subject to Development
Agreement for the Blake Commons entered into between the City and Tuskawilla
Retail Partners II, LLC, on August 25, 2025, recorded in the official records of
Seminole County at Official Record Book 10887, Page 649. The subject property is
currently undeveloped. There is a historic oak tree on the existing Lot 1 with a
dripline of 39 feet. The subject property contains a 15 ft. wide utility easement along
its southern boundary, recorded at Official Record Book 7486, Page 155.
The applicant is proposing to split the existing Blake Commons Lot 1 (Parcel ID. 06-
21-31-510-0000-0010) into two (2) resulting lots of record. The westernmost new
lot of record, Parcel 1A, shall consist of 0.80 acres, more or less, and the easternmost
new lot of record, Parcel 1B, shall consist of 0.52 acres, more or less. . Each resulting
lot of record would meet the lot size and dimensional requirements of the Town
Center, T-5 Transect zoning district, as modified by the waivers (WAIV-2025-0005
and WAIV-2025-0008) granted for the subject property.
Public Notices:
Notices were mailed to all owners of real property adjacent to and within
approximately five hundred (500) feet of the subject property, and to all
Homeowner’s Associations on file with the City of Winter Springs on March 12, 2026.
Lot Splits:
Section 9-11 of the City of Winter Springs Code of Ordinances sets forth standards
and guidelines for processing lot split applications. Staff have utilized the criteria
set forth in Section 9-11 to process this application and make the recommendations
provided herein.

The City Commission may, by resolution at a public hearing, grant waivers from the
platting requirements of the City’s Land Development Code for divisions of land
that constitute a “lot split.” A “lot split” is a division of a lot or tract of land that will
result in the creation of exactly one (1) additional lot of record. The following
conditions must be met for a division of land to be considered a lot split: (1) the lot
or tract of land to be split is a previously platted lot or legal description of record; (2)
each lot or tract of land created hereunder shall abut a public or approved private
street, unless perpetual cross-access easements already exist on the lot to be split
or are determined not to be necessary, or, if necessary, are provided by separate
instrument; and (3) the lot split shall in every respect meet the criteria established
elsewhere in this chapter and the City Code and comprehensive plan for the
category of zoning and other relevant Codes under which the property is zoned.
The procedures for review and approval are set forth in Section 9-11.
Lot Split Criteria
1. The lot or tract of land to be split is a previously platted lot or legal description
of record.
Analysis: Staff finds that this condition has been satisfied. The lot proposed
to be split is located in the platted Blake Commons subdivision, which is
recorded in the Official Records of Seminole County at Plat Book 91 Page 65.
The lot to be split is a conforming lot of record.
The property is located within the Blake Commons subdivision. There is not
a Homeowners’ Association (or other form of Property Owner’s Association)
for this subdivision and, as such, the subject property is not subject to any
covenants, conditions, or restrictions that would restrict the lot split. The
resulting parcels shall still benefit from the existing Easement Agreement
recorded in the Official Records of Seminole County, Book 10968, Page 1570,
which affords relevant easements for drainage, utility tie-ins, and cross-
access to the newly-created parcels.
2. Each lot or tract of land created hereunder shall abut a public or approved
private street, unless perpetual cross-access easements already exist on the
lot to be split or are determined not to be necessary, or, if necessary, are
provided by separate instrument.
Analysis: Staff finds that this condition has been satisfied. Both of the
parcels abut Sea Hawk Cove and State Road 434, and Parcel 1A also abuts
Michael Blake Blvd.
3. The lot split shall in every respect meet the criteria established elsewhere in
this chapter and the City Code and comprehensive plan for the category of
zoning and other relevant Codes under which the property is zoned.
Analysis: Staff finds the proposal to split the existing lot (Parcel ID 06-21-31-
510-0000-0010) into two (2) resulting lots of record meets all criteria set

P U B L I C H E A R I N G S A G E N D A I T E M | M O N D A Y , F E B R U A R Y 9 , 2 0 2 6 , | P A G E 4 OF 5
forth in the Comprehensive Plan for the Town Center FLU and in the zoning
code for the Town Center, T-5 Transect district. Each resulting lot of record
would meet the minimum dimensional requirements, as modified by the
waivers (WAIV-2025-0005 and WAIV-2025-0008) granted for the subject
property.
The applicant has submitted a scaled drawing of the buildable area of
resulting Parcel 1A, showing the intended principal structure which is 3,000
sf in size. The proposed structure can be comfortably constructed on Parcel
1A while still avoiding encroachment on the 15-foot utility easement running
along the southernmost boundary of the property and affording ample
buffer space from the dripline of the historic tree, which would remain
unaffected by the development. A proposal for the development of the
resulting Parcel 1B has not yet been submitted to the City; Parcel 1B is
currently vacant. It should be noted that accommodating the historic tree
will likely result in the developer applying for waivers from setbacks and
frontage buildout requirements during the final engineering application
process.
Staff believes that the lot split will not be inconsistent with the character of
the surrounding neighborhood.
In addition to the above-referenced criteria in Section 9-11 of the City Code, Section
9-10 – General Criteria for Approval – provides that before any plat, replat, or lot split
application is approved by the City Commission, the applicant must demonstrate
and the City Commission must find that the proposed plat, replat or lot split meets
the following criteria:
(a)The application is in compliance with the provisions of this chapter and
applicable law.
(b)The application is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan and
applicable city master plans.
(c)The application is compatible and in harmony with the surrounding
neighborhood including with respect to the size of existing surrounding lots
and development trends in the neighborhood which have been previously
approved by the city commission.
(d)The application does not create any lots, tracts of land or developments
that do not conform to the City Code.
(e)The application does not create burdensome congestion on the streets
and highways.
(f)The application promotes the orderly layout and use of land.
(g)The application provides for adequate light and air.
(h)The application does not create overcrowding of land.
(i)The application does not pose any significant harm to the adequate and
economical provision of water, sewer, and other public services.

(j)The application provides for proper ingress and egress through a public or
approved private street or perpetual cross access easements.
Given the nature of the lot split to create one additional commercial lot, impacts on
roads and public services will be negligible. As described above, staff’s view is that
the proposed lot split is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan and zoning
ordinances.
Additionally, relevant facts have been discussed above regarding compatibility and
harmony with the surrounding neighborhood and the size of existing surrounding
lots and development trends in the neighborhood for the City Commission’s
consideration.
