City officials had hoped the Ray Bradshaw changed ZIP code would mean that Winter Springs, Ffa. 32708 could be used as a legal mailing address. But that wasn't the case; the postal tango just • changed step. The postal service created the new ZIP code by realigning delivery areas, Kelly said. It kept the Cas- selberry designation because the new area encom- passed more than just the city of Winter Springs, he added. But city officials wanted to be able to use Winter Springs instead of Casselberry. In September 1980 they adopted a resolution ob- jectirg to the Orlando regional postmaster's required • pairing of the new ZIP code with a Casselberry address. A month before, Councilman Wilfred Arnold began writing a series of letters to U.S. senators and repre- sentatives concerning the mailing address. • Though the responses arrived before the postmas- ter's decision, they all were addressed to Winter Springs, Fla. 32708. • Winter Springs gets new postal station By Kirsten Gallagher _- Or TALE SENTINEL STAFF �J{' /D /O WINTER SPRINGS — The city's new postal con- tract station will be in the Winter Springs Profes- sional Centre. It is scheduled to open by Nov. 1, said a U.S. Postal Service representative. Matthew Schuman has been awarded the contract to operate the station from a card shop he is plan- ' ping to open at 156 State Road 434, between Moss Road and North Fairfax Avenue, Charles Jacobsen, retail sales manager for the postal service in Orlan- do, said Wednesday. Jacobsen said Schuman met all of the postal ser- fvice's requirements, including securing a bond, providing space in the shop for post office boxes and adequate parking near the premises. With the exception of offering special delivery services and sending packages overseas, the con- tract station provides the services of a full-scale post office. After the proprietors of Big Q Printing on Edge- mon Avenue did not renew their contract in July, the postal service had no plans to locate a contract station in the western part of the city. I However, after protests from city officials and a U.S. senator, the postal service began soliciting bids to locate a station near the Moss Road and S.R. 1 434 intersection. It took more than two months to review the applications. The city's eastern portion is serviced by the con- tract station in Yvonne's Card Shop in the Willa Springs Village Shopping Center on Red Bug Lake Road in unincorporated Seminole County.
