CITY COMMISSION AGENDA
ITEM 501
June 27, 2011
Meeting
Mgr. / Dept
REQUEST: The Community Development Department - Planning Division requests the City
Commission hold a public hearing to consider: 1) a Conceptual Plan for 171 townhomes which
modifies the approved 185 unit Final Engineering Plan for the former Jesup's Landing townhome
development and, 2) a Special Exception to Section 20 -324 (5) of the Town Center Code to permit a
deviation that would allow a finished first floor height of less than the required minimum of two (2)
feet above sidewalk grade for the proposed Mattamy Homes project located on the property formerly
known as Jesup' s Landing.
SYNOPSIS: The applicant, Mattamy Homes is requesting approval of a Conceptual Plan for a 171
unit townhome development which modifies the approved 185 unit Final Engineering Plan for the
former Jesup' s Landing townhome development, and a Special Exception to Section 20 -324 (5) of the
Town Center Code to permit a deviation that would allow a finished first floor height of less than the
required minimum of two (2) feet above grade. The subject property is located in the Town Center on
the south side of Orange Avenue and is the site of the former Jesup's Landing townhome development,
which was approved in 2005 for 185 units. The development was under construction until 2007 until
the builder, Levitt & Sons filed for bankruptcy. Mattamy Homes purchased the property in 2011 from
Bank of America with the understanding that it was vested, pursuant to the previous approvals and
would allow them to move forward with construction under the development order that was approved
in 2005. Mattamy Homes has worked with staff to provide a modified concept plan which allows
utilization of a different style of townhome design and a slightly modified layout than was approved in
2005.

DISCUS SION:
Concept Plan:
In 2005, Jesup's Landing was approved for 185 townhome units on 17.15 acres on the south side of
Orange Avenue in the Winter Springs Town Center. The developer of the community was Levitt &
Sons. In November 2007, Levitt & Sons filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Following this, site
construction was suspended indefinitely. In August 2009, Bank of America foreclosed on the property.
Mattamy Homes subsequently purchased the property from Bank of America in February 2011.
On January 24, 2011, Mattamy Homes submitted an application for a Conceptual Plan approval for the
Jesup's Landing townhome development. The Conceptual Plan proposes 171, three story townhome
units on 17.15 acres and modifies some of the elements of the approved Jesup's Landing Final
Engineering Plan. The townhome designs that were approved in 2005 provided for many two story
units. The subject property is located in the Town Center district and is subject to the Town Center
District Code.
The Conceptual Plan proposes access to the development at two points on Orange Avenue on the
eastern and western portions of the property. In keeping with the Town Center Code, the units are
accessed via alleyways with the garages provided in the rear. The alleyways are proposed at 12 -feet in
width throughout the development. A future road connection will be provided in the middle portion of
the eastern side of the property to allow connectivity to the adjacent property to the east (formerly
known as Artesian Park). In addition to the alleyways; neighborhood streets, neighborhood lanes, and
an Edge Drive are proposed in accordance with the Town Center District Code guidelines.
The typical neighborhood streets are proposed with 61 -foot wide of rights -of -way. Proposed in this
space are two, 6 -foot wide sidewalks, two 6 -foot wide grass strips, two 8 -foot wide rows of parallel
parking spaces, and a 20 -foot wide, two -way pavement section. The typical neighborhood lanes are
proposed with 51 -foot wide rights -of -way. Proposed in this space are two, 6 -foot wide sidewalks, two,
6 -foot wide grass strips, and a 26 -foot wide, two -way pavement section. An Edge Drive is proposed
along the southern boundary of the property. The typical Edge Drive is proposed with a 41 -foot wide
right -of -way. Proposed in this space are a 6 -foot wide sidewalk, a 6 -foot wide grass strip, an 8 -foot
wide row of parallel parking, and a 20 -foot wide, two -way pavement section.
Access to the Cross Seminole Trail will be provided via three access points shown on the plan. City
vehicles will be allowed access to the adjacent park via a 20 -foot wide paved access aisle that will be
accessed via the aforementioned Edge Drive. Amenities such as a community swimming pool and a
meandering walking path and green space are proposed around the perimeter of the reconfigured
borrow pit/retention pond in the southwestern corner of the site. The walking path will connect with
the Cross Seminole Trail. A second retention pond exists in the northeastern corner of the site. This
retention pond was constructed as part of the site work completed by Levitt & Sons. In addition this
retention pond will have a walking path and green space provided around its perimeter. A parking
analysis that was provided on the plan proposes 438 parking spaces. A break -down of each type of
space is noted on the plan.

City Commission, Item 501
Page 4 of 7
The proposed townhomes are all three story units, with a split level entrance between the first and
second floor. The first floor is proposed to function as a daylight basement consisting primarily of a
garage and room noted as a home office. The second and third floors contain the majority of the living
area. One side of each unit is proposed with a two story balcony that will be accessible internally from
each of the three floors of the units. In addition to these balconies, second floor balconies and stoops
are proposed on the front of the buildings. Architectural elements including hardy -plank siding, stucco,
columns, railings and a gabled roof are utilized in the design of the townhome buildings. An
expression line is provided between the first and second floor.
Final Engineering for Jesup' s Landing was approved by the City Commission for 185 townhome units
on June 27, 2005. The Final Engineering included the approval of a traffic impact study. The project
required the offsite improvement of Orange Avenue from the site east to Tuskawilla Road, and this
work was completed by the developer and accepted by the City Commission on May 14, 2007. Jesup's
Landing is adjacent to Winter Springs High School. Townhoines are an appropriate use in the Town
Center, and are proposed on property that is vested for the development of 185 townhome units. The
plat for the 185 -unit townhome development was recorded on January 23, 2006 and will need to be
modified to accommodate the revised conceptual layout.
The project is vested from a traffic concurrency standpoint for up to 185 townhome units, on the basis
that Jesup's Landing has approved Final Engineering plans, a recorded plat, and a developer's
agreement. All project trips that were approved for the original Jesup's Landing development can be
carried over to this development. When Meritage Homes recently had to prepare a traffic impact study
for Winter Springs Village, the Jesup' s Landing project traffic was included as part of the "background
traffic." The Winter Springs Village project, which is currently under construction, includes the
construction of Michael Blake Boulevard, a new City collector road that runs from Tuskawilla Road
(north of the high school) to S.R. 434. The S.R. 434 intersection will have a full median opening. The
Town Center Master Transportation Plan shows Orange Avenue being extended to the west through
Central Winds Park and ultimately connecting to S.R. 434. The extension of Orange Avenue is not
required for Jesup' s Landing and is not expected to be funded for construction within the next several
years.
At this stage of the review process, the proposed conceptual plan appears to be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and the Town Center Code. However, conceptual plan approval is not a final
development order and the proposed plans shall be subject to further review and additional application
requirements. The project will also be subject to additional review for consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan as additional details and applications are submitted by the applicant for the
development of the proposed project.
Special Exception:
A Special Exception has been requested by the applicant relating to the architecture of this project.
Specifically, the Special Exception request is to Section 20 -324 (5) of the Town Center Code. This
provision of the Code requires a minimum first floor height for residential uses to be raised a minimum
of two (2) feet above sidewalk grade. Code deviations are not unusual for developments, particularly
within the Town Center.
Section 20 -321— Requirements for Special Exceptions
1. First floor height for residential:
June 27, 2011
City Commission, Item 501
Page 5 of 7
Special exceptions:
(1) The City Commission may, by special exception, waive strict compliance with provisions of
the Town Center Code. In granting a special exception, the City Commission must find by
substantial competent evidence that:
a. The proposed development contributes to, promotes and encourages the improvement of the
Winter Springs Town Center and catalyzes other development as envisioned in the Winter
Springs Town Center regulations.
b. The proposed development will not have an unfavorable effect on the economy of the Winter
Springs Town Center.
c. The proposed development abides by all rules in this code other than those specially
excepted. Special limitations apply to large footprint buildings (greater than twenty thousand
(20,000) square feet); see subsection 30- 324(12) for these limitations.
d. The proposed development meets any reasonable additional conditions, restrictions or
limitations deemed necessary by the city commission in order to preserve and promote the intent
of the Winter Springs Town Center Master Plan.
Section 20 -324 (5) of the City's Code of Ordinances requires residential uses to have a finished floor
height for the first floor raised a minimum of two (2) feet above the sidewalk grade. The applicant is
proposing a deviation to this requirement to permit the first floor to be "at grade." This Special
Exception is being requested because the proposed townhome units are built so that the primary entry is
split between the first and second floors. This entry configuration reduces the number of stairs inside the
building, which the applicant contends has been a deterrent to the sale of other three story townhomes.
The majority of the ground floor is utilized for the garage with the exception of a home office. Raising
this room above grade to a height of two feet disrupts the interior of the unit, which includes access to
the main floor and garage, ceiling height and overall height of the building.
Staff response: Staff can support this request because the applicant is utilizing architectural elements
which create a unique building that is consistent with the intent of the Town Center Code, except for the
finished floor heights. The proposed buildings have been constructed and marketed in Baldwin Park and
Celebration with great success. Second floor balconies and stoops are proposed on the front of the
buildings. Elements including hardy -plank siding, stucco, columns, railings, an expression line between
the first and second floor, and a gabled roof are utilized in the design of the townhome buildings. These
are preferred architectural elements noted in the Town Center Code.
A waiver was granted in the Development Agreement for the former Jesup's Landing project that allows
approximately 36- percent of the units to have a finished floor elevation of less than two feet above
sidewalk grade. Staff believes the Special Exception request is justifiable, and is necessary to allow the
applicant to complete the development of the site.

FINDINGS
1. The 17.15 acre Jesup's Landing site is within the City of Winter Springs and is considered by
the City to be a vested project. The property has a Town Center Future Land Use and zoning
designation.

4. Per the approved Development Agreement for Jesup's Landing, approximately 36- percent of the
units were permitted by waiver to have a finished floor elevation of less than two feet above
sidewalk grade.
5. At this stage of the review process, the proposed conceptual plan appears to be consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan and the Town Center Code. However, conceptual plan approval is not
a final development order and the proposed plans shall be subject to further review and
additional application requirements. The project will also be subject to additional review for
consistency with the Comprehensive Plan as additional details and applications are submitted
by the applicant for the development of the proposed project.
6. Staff believes each of the following criteria regarding has been satisfied relating to the
applicant' s special exception request:
(1) The City Commission may, by special exception, waive strict compliance with provisions of
the Town Center Code. In granting a special exception, the City Commission must find by
substantial competent evidence that:
a. The proposed development contributes to, promotes and encourages the improvement of the
Winter Springs Town Center and catalyzes other development as envisioned in the Winter
Springs Town Center regulations.
b. The proposed development will not have an unfavorable effect on the economy of the Winter
Springs Town Center.
c. The proposed development abides by all rules in this code other than those specially
excepted. Special limitations apply to large footprint buildings (greater than twenty thousand

d. The proposed development meets any reasonable additional conditions, restrictions or
limitations deemed necessary by the city commission in order to preserve and promote the intent
of the Winter Springs Town Center Master Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT: The potential tax revenue of the proposed project is as follows:
Townhomes (171 units)
Units (2,155 square foot average) assessed at $90 /square foot:
(2,155 x 90 = 193, 950 x 171 units = $33,165,450)
$33,165,450/1000 = 33,165.45
33,165.45(2.5814) = $85,613.29
$85,613.29 (less the 4% statutory discount) =
$33,165,450 assessed tax value
$82,188.76 tax revenue
June 27, 2011

(185 platted lots x 4000 /unit = $740,000) $740,000 assessed tax value
740,000/1000 = 740
740 x 2.5814 = $1,910.23 $1,910.23 tax revenue

Dear Property Owner:
The City of Winter Springs invites you to attend a public hearing to discuss a proposed
modification to the Jesup Landings Townhome Project. In 2005, Jesup's Landing was
approved for 185 townhome units on 17.15 acres on the south side of Orange Avenue
in the Winter Springs Town Center. The project is subject to a Developer's Agreement,
which was approved and executed by the City on February 28, 2005. The previous
developer of the project was Levitt & Sons who has abandoned the project.
The new developer, Mattamy Homes, has submitted an application for approval of a
Special Exception and Conceptual Plan which would modify the previous 2005
approval and Developer's Agreement. In general, the new proposal modifies the site
layout and is for 171 townhomes. The Special Exception request is to Section 20 -324
(5) of the Town Center Code. If approved, this will permit a deviation that would allow
a finished first floor height of less than the required minimum of two (2) feet above
sidewalk grade for the Jesup's Landing townhome development.
The Planning & Zoning Board will meet at 7:00 PM at the Winter Springs City Hall on
Wednesday, June 1, 2011 to consider the request. The City Commission public hearing
will be held at a date to be determined.

504. Community Development Department — Planning Division
ADD -ON
Requests The Planning And Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Hold A Public
Hearing To Consider: 1) A Conceptual Plan For 171 Townhomes Which Modifies
The Approved 185 Unit Final Engineering Plan For The Former Jesup's Landing
Townhome Development And, 2) A Special Exception To Section 20 -324. (5) Of The
Town Center Code To Permit A Deviation That Would Allow A Finished First
Floor Height Of Less Than The Required Minimum Of Two (2) Feet Above
Sidewalk Grade For The Proposed Mattamy Homes Project Located On The
Property Formerly Known As Jesup's Landing.
Mr. Howell introduced this Agenda Item, displayed a Conceptual Plan of the project,
commented on the Special Exception and stated, "Staff recommends Approval of the
Conceptual Plan which modifies the 185 unit Final Engineering Plan for Jesup's Landing
and recommends Approval for the Special Exception, Section 20 -324. (5) of the Town
Center Code subject to modifying the 2005 Development Agreement to accommodate the
modified development program."
Mr. David Evans, P.E., Evans Engineering, Inc., 719 Irma Avenue, Orlando, Florida: on
behalf of Mattamy Homes, Mr. Evans stated, "We worked real hard with Staff trying to
implement this building type and this building product on this particular site. As you can
understand, the infrastructure as Mr. Howell mentioned, is mostly in on the property.
There are no roads there now, but the water system has been put in and accepted by the
State and the sewer system, the stormwater system, the two (2) ponds that are there, one
(1) was a converted burrow pit and one (1) now is a retention pond and both of those are
in."
Continuing, Mr. Evans commented, "What we have to do and what they have to do, in
order to make this work is to tear out all the infrastructure that is there; that is the
stormwater, the sanitary and the water system, and replace it with new systems as well as
paving and the other things that weren't there already. So, it is a huge undertaking for
them, but they are happy to be here and they are ready to go to start this process."
With discussion on the building facades, Mr. Evans stated, "Each one will have its
variation based on the type of units that is chosen for that particular set." Referencing the
rear of the building, Mr. Evans noted, "There is an alleyway obviously between all these
for access from the rear, a two (2) car garage on every unit and then some of those
actually have rear porches."

based on its current shape, did not allow for us to be able to place these particular units —
deeper units, so what we did, was to come back here and reconfigure that pond and the
pond is the same size. All we did is push it further south and fill it in on the north side. It
is an existing retention pond."
Chairman Poe opened the "Public Input" portion of this Agenda Item.
Mr. Samuel Dixon, 105 View Point Place, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke of parcels near
Orange Avenue; a proposed brick wall; and noted he was Opposed to the project.
Mr. Brian Buholtz, 106 Trace Point, Winter Springs, Florida: addressed the Board
Members about information on the City of Winter Springs' Website related to the number
of Townhomes; commented on the ground level entry door; and said he was Opposed to
the Special Exception.
Referencing the number of units, Mr. Sahlstrom stated, "Basically, the DA (Developer's
Agreement) was developed and memorialized, executed, and Recorded for 185 units and
it was at the time of the Jesup's Landing Concept Plan and that DA (Developer's
Agreement) is still valid. When they Platted, they reduced the number to 164. So, that is
what is Platted to date.
The Mattamy (Homes) project will need to Re -Plat because as was mentioned, their lot
configuration is deeper, but they have been able to work with Staff. And another thing
that they are looking to do is slightly reconfigure that pond that was previously the
burrow pit; so, they have a little bit more efficiency in numbers that they can bring the
numbers back up to more than 164, but less than 185. They are proposing 171."
Discussion ensued on the number of units indicated on the City of Winter Springs'
Website.
Ms. Sahlstrom commented, "We will try to put something on the Website to address that
concern."
Further discussion ensued on the entry doors.
Mr. George Hyde, 1166 Orange Avenue, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke of his concerns
with drainage associated with his property and the proposed project; and remarked about
his concerns with the canal and drainage into Lake Jesup.
Chairman Poe closed the "Public Input" portion of this Agenda Item.

MOTION "THAT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL FOR THE CONCEPTUAL
PLAN FOR 171 TOWNHOMES WHICH MODIFIES THE APPROVED 185 UNIT
FINAL ENGINEERING PLAN FOR THE FORMER JESUP'S LANDING AND
APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO SECTION 20 -324. OF THE
TOWN CENTER CODE TO PERMIT A DEVIATION THAT WOULD ALLOW
A FINISHED FIRST FLOOR HEIGHT OF LESS THAN THE REQUIRED TWO
(2) FEET." MOTION BY CHAIRMAN POE. SECONDED BY VICE
CHAIRPERSON KARR. DISCUSSION.
BOARD MEMBER SCHWARZ ASKED, "WHY ARE WE REQUIRING THE
DEVELOPER TO BUILD A TWO HUNDRED FOOT (200') ROAD FOR THE
PURPOSE OF THE CITY ?"
MR. STEVENSON STATED, "THERE IS A DEAD END - IT IS AN
EMERGENCY ACCESS OR EGRESS FROM THE PARK AND PROVIDES
ANOTHER EGRESS FROM THE PARK. STAFF FEELS THAT THE
DEVELOPER MATTAMY HOMES HAS WORKED WITH OUR PLANNING
STAFF TO CREATE WHAT WE CONSIDER A MUCH BETTER PLAN THAN
WE EVEN HAD WITH JESUP'S RESERVE."
BOARD MEMBER SCHWARZ INQUIRED, "EMERGENCY VEHICLES ARE
GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH THE PARK TO DO EMERGENCY WORK
THROUGH THE PARK. THEY ARE NOT COMING DOWN TUSKAWILLA
(ROAD) AND ORANGE (AVENUE) ?"
MR. STEVENSON ANSWERED, "I BELIEVE - THAT THIS IS ONLY AN
EMERGENCY SITUATION ONLY ON A GENERAL DAY TO DAY BASIS -
THIS EGRESS WILL BE CLOSED."
ADDRESSING THE CONCERNS OF DRAINAGE, MR. EVANS STATED, "WE
ARE AT THE BEGINNING OF DESIGN STAGES - CONCEPTUAL PLAN AND
NEXT INTO FINAL ENGINEERING AND TO ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS
THAT WE HEAR AT THESE MEETINGS - OUR INTENT IS TO MAINTAIN
THE SAME BASIN, THE SAME DRAINAGE PATTERN AND THE SAME
OUTFALLS THAT WERE UTILIZED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY AND
THE (ST. JOHNS) WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT - WE WOULD BE
HAPPY TO LOOK INTO IT."
MR. EVANS THEN ADDED, "WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE TO THAT
DITCH IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT WORK BETTER. IF IT IS WASHING
OUT, IT IS NOT GOOD FOR ANYBODY. ABSOLUTELY, WE WOULD BE
HAPPY TO LOOK AT THAT."

TO CLARIFY, MR. EVANS STATED, "IT WAS PLATTED FOR 185 UNITS
BEFORE. I KNOW THERE WAS SOME MENTION OF 164 - IT IS IN THE
PLAT. I HAVE THE RECORDED PLAT OF 185 UNITS."
MR. EVANS REMARKED, "WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH THE CITY,
ABOUT SIX (6) MONTHS WITH THEIR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING AND CITY
ENGINEER BRIAN FIELDS AND OTHERS TO MAKE SURE THAT ACCESS IS
MAINTAINED FOR FIRE/RESCUE AS WELL AS THE REAR ACCESS
GARAGES."
CONTINUING, MR. EVANS ADDED, "WHAT WE HAVE CREATED IS A NINE
FOOT (9') DRIVEWAY AND A TWELVE FOOT (12') ALLEYWAY PLUS
ANOTHER NINE FOOT (9') DRIVEWAY ON THE OTHER SIDE. WHAT
MATTAMY (HOMES) LIKES TO DO IS NOT PLACE ANY OF THEIR A/C (AIR
CONDITIONING) UNITS IN THE BACK OF THE UNIT. THEY DO IT ON THE
END OF THE UNIT AND THEN RUN THEIR A/C (AIR CONDITIONING)
LINES AROUND THE BACK SO YOU HAVE A CLEAR PATH ALL THE WAY
DOWN THIRTY FEET (30') WIDE BETWEEN THE BACK OF THE UNITS."
DISCUSSION ENSUED ON THE ONE (1) WAY TRAFFIC IN THE ALLEYWAY.
BOARD MEMBER SCHWARZ ASKED, "BETWEEN THE CITY PROPERTY
AND YOUR PROPERTY, YOU ARE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO BUILD A
WALL OR A FENCE ?" MR. EVANS REPLIED, "THAT IS IN THE ORIGINAL
DA (DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT); WALL FENCE THAT HAS A
COMBINATION OF WROUGHT IRON TYPE WHICH IS `ILLUMINIZED
IRON' LOOK."
WITH FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE ACCESS ROAD, MR. EVANS
STATED, "IT IS A TWENTY FOOT (20') ACCESS ROAD - WE WORKED
WITH THE CITY ON." BOARD MEMBER SCHWARZ COMMENTED, "YOU
HAVE A TWENTY FOOT (20') ROAD FOR NON -DAILY USE ?" MR. EVANS
SAID, "IT IS MINIMUM FIRE TRUCK WIDTH AND SECONDARY ACCESS
TO THE PARK." BOARD MEMBER SCHWARZ ADDED, "THAT COMES AT
A COST FOR YOU TO BUILD IT." MR. EVANS REPLIED, "SURE IT DOES."
MR. EVANS STATED, "MAYBE WE CAN WORK WITH THE CITY BASED ON
YOUR COMMENTS TO DO A STABILIZED ACCESS ROAD THAT
ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE GRASS, BUT IT IS HARD UNDERNEATH IT - IT IS
ALLOWED AND IS REQUIRED BY FIRE ACCESS TRUCKS AND YOU MOW
IT."

Mr. Stevenson stated, "We will be requesting of the Commission to bring P and Z
(Planning and Zoning Board) up to speed on this — we will probably be forty-five (45)
days out from the next Commission Meeting. We will try to get them to schedule a date
for a Workshop on the Town Center, the Town Center Code and some other items - we
will certainly let you know when that date is established."
