Regular Meeting City Manager Department
REQUEST:
Community Development Department is advising the City Commission of the status of
various current planning projects.
SYNOPSIS:
The projects listed below are those with some consistent activity, although not every project
has additional activity for every update report. Items listed below that have changed since
the last update are shown in bold type. Items which have not and do not appear likely to
generate any change are periodically dropped from this agenda item with prior notice to the
City Commission.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Artesian Park - A new developer has purchased the property that is the site of the former
Artesian Park townhome development. This development was approved by the City
Commission in 2006 with a total of 103 townhome units in the Town Center, adjacent to
Jesup's Landing. Following approval, site construction ceased as a result of the economic
downturn. The new developer is proposing a different architectural style, with a total of 99
units. The applicant is requesting three Special Exceptions from the Town Center Code
prior to submittal of the Final Engineering Plans. The Special Exceptions that are requested
relate to building setbacks and maximum lot coverage requirements. The Special Exception
requests will be presented to the Planning & Zoning Board on December 4, 2013, and to the
City Commission on January 13, 2014 for final approval. On December 4, 2013, the
Planning & Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of the three Special
Exception requests. This item will be presented to the City Commission for final approval at
Informational 200 PAGE 1 OF 12- March 10,2014
the January 13, 2014 meeting. The City Commission unanimously approved the three
Special Exception requests at the January 13, 2014 meeting.
Bart Phillips/419 Auto &Metal— This project remains on hold pending the outcome of the
CSX railroad crossing and the trail right-of-way swap. Construction of the wall along SR
419, east of Wade Street is underway with inspections on-going. Please see the update for
the Cross Seminole Trail below.
Cross Seminole Trail- The Cross Seminole Trail has a missing link from Layer Elementary
to the west end of Old Sanford/Oviedo Road. In order for the State to convey the adjacent
trail right of way to the City, the City is offering an equivalent area of unimproved right of
way near Old Sanford Oviedo Road. This unimproved right of way will be used as a portion
of the property needed to complete the Cross Seminole Trail missing link. Additional
property along SR 419 and Layer Elementary is being donated by Bart Phillips to complete
this section of the trail corridor that is needed. Mr. Phillips is also receiving a small piece of
right of way from the State that will no longer be needed once this alignment is finalized.
This approval allows for a land swap to be completed with the State to allow for the
construction of the Magnolia Park Amphitheater. Staff requested the trail width be increased
from 12' to 14' to be consistent with the rest of the trail in the City. The construction of the
Magnolia Park Amphitheater is on hold until the City receives a warranty deed from the
State conveying to the City approximately 0.44 acres of adjacent trail right of way to the
City. This adjacent trail right of way is needed because the amphitheater building
encroaches into the State's trail right of way. This encroachment will allow maximum
utilization of this facility given the constraints of the site. Additional updates will be made
available as information is forthcoming. According to Jim Leftheris of the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection, the land swap between the Bart Phillips property
and the State of Florida is scheduled for the Acquisition and Restoration Council (ARC)
meeting on December 12th or 13th, 2013. This meeting will determine whether a
recommendation of approval or denial should be forwarded to the Governor and Cabinet.
The Cabinet meeting is scheduled approximately 7 months following the ARC meeting. At
this meeting, a final vote to approve or deny the Exchange Agreement contract will be held.
Assuming the Cabinet approves the Exchange Agreement, closing can occur 120 days
following the Cabinet Meeting. Because of concerns over some excess trail right-of-way at
the entrance to Layer Elementary School, the State's Requisitions and Restoration Council
(ARC) meeting has been postponed until sometime in February 2014. The ARC
unanimously approved the request at their February 14, 2014 meeting. The item
should come before the Governor and Cabinet in the fall of 2014.
Grandeville at Town Center (f/k/a Villa Grande) — This project is proposed as a 244 unit, 4-
story apartment complex located adjacent to City Hall at the northwest corner of the
intersection of Doran Drive and SR 434. The subject property is 4.78 acres in size and is
located in the T5 zone (Urban Center Zone) of the Town Center. The proposed apartment
complex is designed as a "Texas Donut." This is a popular design concept that is utilized in
urban areas such as the Winter Springs Town Center that incorporates structured parking
into a high density, urban setting without exposing the parking structure to public view. In
the "Texas Donut" design configuration, apartment units are constructed around the parking
garage and the amenities, so each are internal to the development and are not visible from
the surrounding areas. The main frontages of the building will be oriented toward State
Road 434, and Doran Drive. The building will have a setback of zero feet along State Road
434 and Doran Drive. A zero foot setback is encouraged in the T5 zone of the Town Center
and is reflective of historic downtown layouts. With this building constructed to the right-of-
Informational 200 PAGE 2 OF 12- March 10,2014
way line, it will help transform this portion of State Road 434 into the urban boulevard that
was envisioned in the Town Center master plan. The proposed project represents
completion of a major portion of the Town Center core. Staff recently issued a zoning
verification letter to the applicant's attorney. This purpose of this letter is to help assist in the
financing of the construction of this project. The developer and the architect are finalizing
budget numbers to accommodate the recent increase in construction costs. Staff s latest
conversation with the developer identified a submittal of final engineering during the last
quarter of 2013. Staff spoke to the developer the week of October 14, 2013 and supplied
updated information related to impact fees. Pursuant to an update received the third week of
November 2013, the developer still plans to submit final engineering plans by the end of
2013. As of February 18, 2014, the developer has not submitted plans. Several discussions
with the developer have pointed toward a start during the first quarter of 2014.
Haves Road Plaza— The revised building plans have been submitted for review. Initial site
work on this project continues. Site work is ongoing. The building permit will be issued
upon resolution of the final remaining Seminole County Fire Department comments. The
building permit has been issued and foundation and utility/mechanical work as well as
vertical building construction is underway. Staff has started review of the interior build-out
for the 7-11 store. This permit will not be issued until a Certificate of Completion is issued
for the shell building. Construction on the building continues. Review of the build-out plans
on the 7-11 are still on-going. The building permit for the 7-11 interior build-out is ready for
issuance. Construction continues on the building. All of the impact fees that were
deferred for this project have been paid.
Irblich School - On July 31, 2013, Staff met with a representative of Irblich Schools. The
representative indicated interest in a portion of the commercial space of the Moss Park
Mixed Use building for a potential childcare center. The center would employ 8 full-time
workers, and children ranging from age three through sixth grade would attend. According
to the owner of the school, a lease agreement is being entered into with the owner of the
Moss Park Mixed Use building. According to the owner of the school, a lease was signed in
December 2013. Building plans for the interior build-out are currently under review by
the building division.
Jesup's Landing_— Upon completion, this project will consist of 171 townhome in 30
buildings units on 17 acres of land located on the south side of Orange Avenue, behind
Winter Springs High School. The subject property is located in the T4 transect (General
Urban Zone) of the Town Center. As of July 12, 2013 five (5) buildings are in various
stages of construction representing approximately 30 units. A permit for the clubhouse has
been submitted. As of December 31, 2013, no additional permits have been issued. Units are
beginning to sell and six buildings are in various stages of construction. Staff is working
with the developer on various allowable advertisement methods. Construction on the
clubhouse and pool area is nearing completion. Six buildings are complete or nearing
completion and units are being sold.
Magnolia Park— The construction of the Magnolia Park Amphitheater is on hold until the
City receives a warranty deed from the State conveying to the City approximately 0.44 acres
of adjacent trail right of way to the City. This adjacent trail right of way is needed because
the amphitheater building encroaches into the State's trail right of way. This encroachment
will allow maximum utilization of this facility given the constraints of the site. Additional
updates will be made available as information is forthcoming. Please see Cross Seminole

Mermel property Annexation (Southern Oaks — The City has received an application from
American Land Investments of Central Florida, LLC (the developer of the Weaver and
Toledo properties) for annexation of approximately 4.4 acres located on the west side of
DeLeon Street, east of the Weaver property. If annexed into the City, the property would be
utilized as water retention in the proposed Weaver/Toledo development. The applicant has
indicated the proposed name of the subdivision is "Southern Oaks". The applicant has
withdrawn the annexation request. Staff has renewed discussions with the developer to
annex this parcel into the City. On March 22, 2013, the applicant submitted an application
to annex the property into the City. A copy of this application was forwarded to Seminole
County Planning & Zoning for their records. The property will remain inside the rural
boundary after annexation and will contain a retention pond for the proposed development.
This item has been scheduled for the May 1, 2013 Planning & Zoning Board meeting, and
for first reading at the May 13, 2013 City Commission meeting, and second reading at the
June 10, 2013 City Commission meeting. Notification of the proposed annexation has been
sent to the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners pursuant to 171.044(6) F.S.
On April 23, 2013, the City Manager received a letter from Seminole County Manager Jim
Hartmann in regards to the annexation. Seminole County does not object to the proposed
annexation of the property, but is of the opinion that the proposed uses for the subject
property cannot be accommodated within the future land use designations that have been
identified as appropriate for, and consistent with the Rural Area. This item was unanimously
approved by the Planning & Zoning Board at the May 1, 2013 meeting. The applicant has
petitioned Seminole County to vacate the right-of-way of Florida Avenue. This item will be
considered by the County Commission at the June 11, 2013 meeting. The applicant intends
to annex the vacated Florida Avenue right-of-way into the City with the Mermel property.
As a result, this item will be presented to the City Commission at a date following the June
11, 2013 County Commission meeting. At the request of the applicant, the County
Commission voted to continue the public hearing for the Florida Avenue right-of-way
vacation until the July 23, 2013 meeting. The applicant has requested to annex the property
without the Florida Avenue right-of-way being included in the annexation request. First
reading of this item has been scheduled for the July 22, 2013 City Commission meeting.
Second reading has been scheduled for the August 12, 2013 City Commission meeting. The
August 12, 2013 date is subject to change dependant on the County Commission schedule
for consideration of a tri-party agreement limiting the uses on the property and an ordinance
to move the rural boundary line so as to not include the Mermel Property. Once the Florida
Avenue right-of-way has been vacated by Seminole County, the applicant will then request
to annex the former right-of-way into the City of Winter Springs. The applicant has
requested a continuance for second reading of the annexation to the August 26, 2013 City
Commission meeting. In addition, a tri-party agreement limiting the uses on the property
will be presented to the City Commission for approval at the August 26, 2013 meeting. The
Seminole County Board of County Commissioners will consider this agreement at the
August 27, 2013 Board of County Commissioners meeting. The City Commission's
consideration of the annexation and the preliminary subdivision plan may need to be
continued to a later date dependant upon the date of the County's Commission's final actions
relative to Mermel property. At the August 12, 2013 City Commission meeting, the
annexation of the Mermel property was continued to the September 9, 2013 meeting. The tri-
party agreement with the developer and the County will be considered by the City
Commission at their August 26, 2013 meeting. The Preliminary Subdivision Plan will be
presented for final approval at the September 9, 2013 City Commission meeting. At the
August 26, 2013 City Commission meeting, the tri-party agreement was approved. The
