Mr. Bobby Howell, AICP, Planner, Community Development Department presented the Agenda Item for discussion and referred to an image that illustrated the three (3) parcels being discussed. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA 't=" MINUTES rT� PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY F+� REGULAR MEETING-FEBRUARY 6,2013 PAGE 3 OF 9 Continuing, Mr. Howell explained, "The Applicant has requested Annexation of these parcels for development of the RaceTrac gas station that is proposed to be developed on 1=L-4 the abandoned Hess Station site." Further, Mr. Howell noted, "The subject properties are contiguous with the City's existing boundaries and are currently located at an unincorporated area of Seminole County that is adjacent to the City of Winter Springs. Annexation of the parcels does not create an Enclave. Pursuant to Florida Statutes 171.044 (6), Seminole County Board of Commissioners was sent by a certified mail, notice of the Annexation for the subject parcels on January 25th, 2013. A forthcoming Annexation Agreement will be presented to the City Commission. This agreement would allow an existing billboard that is located on the southwestern parcel to be raised to a height higher and to remain on the property." Mr. Howell then stated that"There is an error in the Agenda Item for this. It says that the Agreement is attached as an Exhibit. It was meant to say that it would be provided as informational only and presented to the City Commission. So, you won't be considering that Annexation Agreement this evening. It's just the Annexation itself, so I apologize for that. It appears that all statutory requirements related to the voluntary Annexation have been satisfied and Staff recommends Approval." Brief comments. Mr. Tom Sullivan, Lowndes, Partner, Drosdic Doster Kantor & Reed, P.A., 215 North Eola Drive, Orlando, Florida: stated, "On behalf of RaceTrac and the other property owners that have submitted the application that's before you, we didn't have a presentation prepared, I just wanted to say on RaceTrac's behalf that they are excited about the opportunity to become a contributing member of the Winter Springs' business community. We think this is a great location. It's at two (2) major intersections. RaceTrac as you can see is prepared to do their latest and greatest elevation and we think it's going to look great - certainly going to be a tremendous improvement over the existing Hess station that's been abandoned for some time. So, we're excited about it and we certainly concur with Staff's recommendation and are available to answer any questions you might have." Board Member Suzanne Walker asked, "What is the demand for that type of business in that particular location since the Hess station has been abandoned. Mr. Sullivan responded, "We think it's strong— I'm really outside Land Use Counsel for RaceTrac, so I'm not a RaceTrac's business representative but what I can tell you is one of the primary factors that they look at are just the number of trips on the road and the particular location and those trips are strong- the volume of trips is strong." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA ��� MINUTES /r�.,�"'I PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY i� REGULAR MEETING-FEBRUARY 6,2013 PAGE 4 OF 9 Mr. Sullivan added, "RaceTrac has a really strong track record of once they open a store, — investing in it, they own and operate the store long-term. So, they feel terrific about the CI— location and the demand for it or they wouldn't be prepared to make such a significant • investment because it really is a significant cost to them; not just purchase the property, • but to construct it, and this is as I said, a newer, bigger store - obviously it costs more r__ money to make." Board Member Bart Philips remarked, "You will be tearing down the old Hess station, correct?" Mr. Sullivan stated, "Correct, yes. It's a redevelopment— to totally redevelop it." Chairman Poe commented, "I know that that turn coming off of(State Road) 419, turning into the Hess Station is quite a `hill there, is that going to remain as is?" Mr. Sullivan responded, "I think the access would remain the same, in other words, there would be access off of(State Road) 419 as you mentioned. And, I've been out to the site myself, I did notice there's a slope there but we think that access could be safely accommodated there and then also off of (U.S. Highway) 17/92." Mr. Bryan Potts, 2494 Rose Spring Drive, Orlando, Florida: as the Civil Engineer for the project and representative of RaceTrac, Mr. Potts noted, "I just want to correct that - we've done a plan and we've talked to DOT (Department of Transportation) about it. What we are doing is we are shifting the driveway further away from the intersection and we are reducing the slope. So, it will be a dramatically better situation on (State Road) 419 than what you have now." Chairman Poe opened "Public Input"for this Agenda Item. No one spoke. Chairman Poe closed "Public Input".

Mr. Howell introduced this Agenda Item for discussion and explained "This is an area that is conducive to commercial development. Development of these parcels in conjunction with the abandoned Hess station located adjacent to the parcels appears to be the highest and best use of the property and is encouraging of infill development. These parcels will be developed as one (1) site. The proposed use and density is compatible with the surrounding area and is generally characterized by commercial development patterns. Staff recommends approval." Chairman Poe opened "Public Input"for this Agenda Item.

Mr. Howell presented the Agenda Item for discussion, and referred to the proposed rendering that has been approved last year.

Discussion. Chairman Poe asked for clarification that "All vehicular access was going to be off of Edge Drive"; to which Mr. Hochuli stated, "That's correct. Other than we do have fifty- four (54) offsite parking spaces that are dedicated to the site along Doran Drive - those parallel parking spaces that create that whole Town Center feel." Chairman Poe then inquired about the number of parking spaces per unit. Mr. Hochuli stated, "I believe it comes out to two to 1 (2:1) maybe a little bit less. I can give you that exact...

Board Member Philips referenced a payment of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00).") and Mr. Hochuli pointed out, "That is the City to the Developer, but it's basically it's a partnership. We're using the City retention pond, we're tying into that and for that - we discussed the opportunity since we're there, we might as well build that road and that's part of that two hundred thousand [dollars] ($200,000.00)." After further brief comments, Mr. Hochuli explained, "It's part of that whole agreement to build that 725 feet plus the Edge Drive; and we decided to split the cost and that's roughly what it came out to be, is the two hundred thousand [dollars] ($200,000.00)."
