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:
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.
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.
Informational 200 PAGE 1 OF 12-October 27,2014
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 adj acent
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 Construction
Agreement between Seminole County and the CSX Railroad was reviewed and
approved by the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners on the 9-23-14.
Once executed by the County, funds are remitted to CSX by the County, and CSX
fully executes the agreement and transmits it to the State, the FDEP staff will certify
the corridor which will allow the land exchange process to continue. The land
exchange should be to the Governor and Cabinet in early 2015 with the real estate
closings occurring during the second quarter of 2015.
Dunkin Donuts - A site plan has been submitted for a proposed Dunkin Donuts restaurant
with an associated retail use, located on the 1.3 acre commercial outparcel of the Stone
Gable PUD (Planned Unit Development). The project is currently under staff review. Public

satisfied. A Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting was held on September 9,
2014. The Final Engineering Plans and Aesthetic Review were submitted. These items
will be presented to the Planning & Zoning Board on November 5, 2014 and to
the City Commission on November 17, 2014 for final approval.
Grandeville at Town Center (f/k/a Villa Grande�— This proj ect is proposed as a 244 unit, 4-
story apartment complex located adj acent 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 TS 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 TS zone of the Town Center
and is reflective of historic downtown layouts. With this building constructed to the right-of-
way line, it will help transform this portion of State Road 434 into the urban boulevard that
Informational 200 PAGE 2 OF 12-October 27,2014
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
