REGULAR
600. Community Development Department
REQUEST: Requests The Commission Consider The Proposed Development Agreement For A 50,000
Square Foot (SF) 2-Story Charter School On An 8.7 Acre Crescent -Shaped Site Within The Town Center.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 23, 2010 PAGE 16 OF 24
FISCAL IMPACT: Development Of The Site As A School Would Remove The Property From The Tax
Rolls. The Urban Land Institute Notes That Neighborhood Schools Are A Primary Consideration For
Many Home Buyers And Are Often A Significant Factor In Residential Development Demand And Sales
Price. If Parents Patronize Local Merchants, While Waiting For Their Children, And The School
Incorporates Local Dance, Martial Arts, Or Music Classes, These Could Be An Additional Significant
Positive Effect On The Local Economy. Please See The Attachment, Which Addresses The History And
Economics Of The School.
The Potential Tax Revenue For The Property Has Been Accessed For Both A Residential As Well As A
Commercial Development Scenario. Since The Property, If Used As A Charter School, Would Be
Removed From The Tax Rolls, The City Commission Needs To Be Aware Of The Potential For Lost Tax
Revenue When Considering Designation Of The Property As A Civic Site And When Entertaining Any
Statements From The Applicant Relative To Ancillary Revenues As A Result Of The Location Of The
School.
Tax Revenue Scenarios Are As Follows:
The Undeveloped Property Currently Pays $20, 643.00 In Property Taxes; The City Receives A
Little More Than $5,000.00 Of This Amount.
Townhomes (76 Units). As Pronosed In A 2006 Design Submittal
Units (1,200 Square Feet) — Assessed At $90.00/Square Foot: $8,208,000.00
$8,208,000.00/1000 = 8208
8,208 (2.5814) = $21,188.13
$21,188.13 (Less The 4% Statutory Discount) _ $20,340.61 Tax Revenue
Commercial (Floor Area Ratio Of 20%)
8.7 Acres (43,560 Square Feet) = 378,972 Square Feet
FAR Of 20% = 75,794 Square Feet Of Commercial Development
75,794 Square Feet Assessed At $105/Square Foot = $7,958,412.00
$7,958,412.00/1000 = 7,958.41
7,958.41 (2.5814) - $20,543.84
$20,543.84 (Less The 4% Statutory Discount) _ $19,722.09 Tax Revenue
The Tax Revenue Estimates For The Residential And The Commercial Scenarios Would Be Added To The
Tax Revenue For The Vacant Property, Thereby Generating Total Property Tax Revenues Of
Approximately $25,340.00 For The Residential Scenario And $24,722.00 For The Commercial Scenario.
COMMUNICATION EFFORTS: A Sign At The Site And Mailing To Abutting Property Owners Was
Provided For The Public Hearing For The Associated Special Exception. The Commission Agenda Has
Been Posted On The Bulletin Board Outside City Hall, On The City's Electronic Sign; The Agenda Is
Electronically Posted According To The City Clerk's Procedure.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff Recommends That The City Commission Approve The Draft Development
Agreement.
Mr. Stevenson spoke on the Agenda Item and the proposed Development Agreement.
Discussion.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 23, 2010 PAGE 17 OF 24
Commissioner Hovey commented on previous questions from the City Commission and said, "For one, mine was
about where all the students live — plus the Traffic Study?" Commissioner Hovey added, "I am still concerned
about traffic in the area."
Mr. Stevenson responded, "They're still working on that along with their Final Engineering." With further
comments, Commissioner Hovey noted, "If we approve this, we still have other avenues if the Traffic Study
comes back and says we can't handle it..." Mr. Stevenson remarked, "...They still have to do the Final
Engineering, yes."
Deputy Mayor Rick Brown asked, "Why we would be continuing with a Development Agreement if we don't
have our questions answered yet?" Discussion.
Further comments.
Commissioner Bonner remarked, "My concern is that the added demand here is going to necessitate a turning
deceleration lane off of (State Road) 434 and in the event that were to occur, since this is a Civic Site addition, I
am a little bit concerned about how that might need to be reflected in a subsequent modification to the
Developer's Agreement, so is there an opportunity for subsequent modifications to the Developer's Agreement
that would come back before us, relative to traffic and/or the management of traffic?" Commissioner Bonner then
asked, "Should we give Staff the opportunity to complete all of the work before we are actually dealing with the
Developer's Agreement?"
Mr. Stevenson noted, "I think we made the statement Commissioner that there may be various changes that need
to be made to the Development Agreement at a later date. I think in considering the Concept Plan there was also
discussion relative to moving forward with this Development Agreement and wanting to make sure that it in no
way impeded the City's ability to accurately review and ask for changes that were necessitated by the Final
Engineering on this particular property. So, in going through that process, that is the only time we will know
whether or not they're meeting the need or there needs to be some tweaks and I think they would also be — for
lack of a better term, tweaks to the Development Agreement to reflect that."
Next, Commissioner Bonner inquired, "What is the estimated timeframe for Staff to receive this additional
information such as the Traffic Study, to when you would be able to bring before us those Findings? How much
time would transpire between now and your estimate of when we would have that additional information?"
Mr. Matt Breen, President, Breen Construction Services, 205 West State Road 434, Suite D, Winter Springs,
Florida: noted, "Our estimated timeframe would be the beginning of October for the Engineering to be submitted
to Randy (Stevenson) and the rest of the Staff for review and ultimately come before you in a Public Hearing."
Commissioner Bonner asked about growth capital improvements. Discussion.
Furthermore, Commissioner Hovey asked, "Since this is not a regular neighborhood school, how does the Traffic
Study work because if the kids that are there this year, may not be there next year. They may go back to their
zoned school."
Mr. Stevenson replied, "I think that is probably going to be something that may have to be enumerated in the
Traffic Study."
Discussion.
Mayor Bush commented on the Agreement with Winter Springs High School and noted how busy Winter Springs
High School is. Mayor Bush then asked, "What is benefit to the residents of Winter Springs?"
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 23, 2010 PAGE 18 OF 24
Mr. Stevenson commented on Civic Sites and related benefits and stated, "It is part of the nexus that would
eventually make up the Town Center."
Discussion followed on the property being taken off the Tax Rolls.
With further comments, Commissioner Brown stated, "If we approve this Development Agreement tonight, if we
don't like the way the Traffic Study or other aspects come back, is our only recourse then modification or does the
project have an opportunity to stop at that point?"
Related to the Development Agreement, Mr. Stevenson responded by saying that, "There are things in here which
need to be reduced to writing relative to Joint Use, the phase facilities, how the Permits are being paid for — things
of that nature, some things that we don't normally have to deal with in a Development Agreement. Again,
understanding that, with that having been said, subsequent to this, it has to come before this Commission Staff to
approve the Final Engineering, and Staff will be going over the Final Engineering with a fine tooth comb prior to
bringing it forward to you. If we reach a situation where we have a number of deviations that we can't resolve,
please be aware that you will be the first ones to know about that.
And again, we have added the extra layer of P & Z (Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency) at this
point in the Town Center to review those Plans, but there are things that are subject to change in the Final
Engineering, once you begin to put exact dimensions to a Concept Plan. Once you begin to look at exact numbers
relative to Transportation and Traffic Impact Studies, and so forth."
Discussion followed on meeting space and Commissioner Bonner asked, "Everybody is always looking for a
space to have a Meeting. Would our Developer's Agreement allow us to effectively transfer the City's rights to
these organizations that they too could take advantage of this Use, as they would if they were going to use the
City's property and therefore somewhat further mitigate this taxable cost."
Further comments followed with Mr. Chuck Pula, Director, Parks and Recreation Department who said, "We do
have a need, and we could use it, just about all the time."
Commissioner Bonner noted, "What about the curve ball of — extending our rights over to our citizens, who really
are the ones that we are trying to serve here. How might that work, if it can at all?
Mr. Stevenson stated, "I don't think we've discussed that in depth. That may be something we have to look at a
little bit more as we provide the details of this Joint Use Agreement." Attorney Garganese added, "That was not
brought up in any of our discussions."
Commissioner McGinnis commented, "I just want to be sure that we can in fact ensure that we can have City
usage for these facilities." Commissioner McGinnis remarked, "So, if we can lock that in some way, so that we
will never end up with the situation that we have now, which is not acceptable. I would like to see that happen."
Further comments ensued about Winter Springs students.
Commissioner McGinnis then said, "Maybe we can even have in the Agreement that there would be a - Joint
Planning Committee or Oversight Committee or periodically Trustees of the School would meet with the City
Administrator or that Parks and Rec[reation Advisory] Committee so that — if there were any problems or issues
they are dealt with upfront, right away before they become a real problem."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING— AUGUST 23, 2010 PAGE 19 OF 24
Commissioner Krebs stated, "It sounds like right now the majority up here has more concerns than not, with this
DA (Developer's Agreement) and maybe the DA (Developer's Agreement) needs to be a little stricter as far as
guarantees. I agree with you Mayor Bush — unless we have a guarantee, how do we know the school is not going
to be busy all the time, when we need it, if we need it."
Further, Commissioner Krebs suggested, "I would like to see the school's open up to those HOA's (Homeowner's
Associations)."
Discussion.
Commissioner Hovey inquired, "Do you know offhand, how many students currently reside in Longwood that
attend your school, or would be within..." Mr. Breen stated, "...The school year just started and I don't know
what the new numbers are. Last year I think we had — twenty (20) or twenty-five (25) students from families that
were serviced from Winter Springs. There are six (6) employees currently at the school from the City of Winter
Springs. From the City of Longwood, I can't remember."
Tape 2/Side A
Mayor Bush remarked, "I think Commissioner Krebs kind of highlighted this - I think in this Agreement we
would have to have some assurance that when Parks and Recreation wanted to use it, they in fact could. It has to
be in writing." Continuing, Mayor Bush added, "And then, are they going to charge us for using it? Are they
going to furnish the lights and the air conditioning free of charge to us? I mean all those kind of things I don't
think have been answered — and like I said, we are taking property off the Tax Rolls. I think we have got to, at
least in my mind, justify it benefits the citizens of Winter Springs somehow and we have got to get our money's
worth out of it."
"I WOULD LIKE TO MOTION THAT WE TABLE THIS ITEM TO OUR NEXT REGULAR MEETING
ON THE 13TH (SEPTEMBER 2010) AND GIVE STAFF THE FURTHER TIME TO WORK WITH THE
APPLICANT ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT." MOTION BY

In other City business, Commissioner Krebs commented on possible improvements to the two (2) break rooms at
City Hall, especially in light of no raises. Commissioner Krebs suggested "Making it a nicer, more comfortable, a
more relaxing place to take a break or to eat lunch."
With further comments, Commissioner Krebs added, "My request also would include the possibility of we
Commissioners, a way of saying thank you to our employees - would be to donate, maybe a TV or something like
that for one (1) or maybe both of the rooms — but, have one (1) room equally the same as the other - I am not
saying it is going to cost anything, and Kevin (Smith) was going to check on some things. But I know that it is
also Budget time and if there was any small cost, that maybe we could consider something along those lines
before we get into end of Budget."
Mayor Bush suggested, "I would recommend that we let Kevin (Smith) deal with Staff on this and let them come
in with some suggestions." Commissioner Krebs responded, "I would like that." Manager Smith commented,
"I'd be happy to. That's the plan."
Commissioner Bonner nodded in agreement. Commission McGinnis said, `That's good." Mayor Bush
commented, "I think that is a good suggestion Commissioner."
Mayor Bush then mentioned that at last week's Florida League of Cities Annual Conference, he found out that the
City of Jacksonville had passed a Resolution related to Amendment 4 and that he had asked Attorney Garganese
to look into this.
Attorney Garganese addressed a proposed Resolution and noted, "There is an informal email Opinion from one of
the Division of Election Attorneys that was sent to one of the Commissioners in Jacksonville - that Attorney's
Opinion was that, just the Adoption of the Resolution does not Violate the new Election Law on public
expenditures. What the Commission does after it is Adopted with that Resolution could Violate that Law."
Continuing, Attorney Garganese explained, "The Adoption of the Resolution in and of itself is okay if the
Commission wants to go on Record, if you wanted to do that. My advice would be you would treat it in the
normal course of business. That Resolution would be put in the official Resolution book; would be LaserFiched
and put on to the LaserFiche system; and I would recommend that you not expend any dollars whatsoever
disseminating that Resolution, public dollars."
Commissioner Krebs asked, "So you are saying we can't put it on the Internet?" Attorney Garganese noted, "You
can put it on LaserFiche. I wouldn't do anything special with the Resolution. Now the Commission..."
Commissioner Krebs said to Attorney Garganese, "...No eAlert?" Attorney Garganese said, "Well, I have to
look at that type of issue. But the Law is so broadly written."
Deputy Mayor Brown inquired, "What if a local business wanted to donate the Funds necessary to put it up on our
Web?" Attorney Garganese responded, "I'd have to look at that issue Commissioner. I mean you can't expend
any public Funds and there is another provision in there that I would have to take a look at on indirect."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING — AUGUST 23, 2010 PAGE 24 OF 24
Attorney Garganese then stated, "If the newspaper wanted to print it on their own; that would be fine. If the
Commissioners wanted to verbally talk to constituents regarding the Adoption of that Resolution..." Deputy
Mayor Brown added, "....Homeowners Associations Magazines." Attorney Garganese continued, "Yes, you
certainly can talk about it. There is nothing under the Law that prohibits you from expressing that verbally."
Mayor Bush then asked the Commissioners, "The question is, `Do we want to have a Resolution'?"
Commissioner McGinnis said, "Why not?" Commissioner Krebs remarked, "Yes." No objections were noted.
Attorney Garganese clarified, "A Resolution opposing Amendment 4?" Mayor Bush said, "Opposing." Deputy
Mayor Brown remarked, "In opposition to."
Attorney Garganese then mentioned, "I can go ahead and put something together for you to consider at your next
Meeting." Mayor Bush said, "Okay." Commissioner McGinnis added, "Good, thank you." No objections were
voiced.
