c. Donation of the properties at 882; 872 and 862 W. Comstock Avenue for stormwater treatment

Planning & Zoning Board Regular Meeting · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

The City of Winter Park is reviewing a proposal to accept the donation of three properties located at 882, 872, and 862 W. Comstock Avenue. This project aims to create a stormwater treatment area to manage drainage and runoff from nearby roadways and parking lots. The plan includes design, geotechnical work, and permitting, followed by the construction of a stormwater retention area. This area will feature landscaping, including perimeter hedging and cypress trees. The city will cover the costs for design, construction, and future major maintenance of the retention pond and landscape. Regular maintenance like mowing and trimming, along with irrigation system upkeep, will be the responsibility of the owners of 805, 801, and 771 W. Fairbanks Avenue. This item is currently under review by the Planning & Zoning Board. The project will involve site clearing and grading, underground utility work for drainage, construction of the retention pond, and significant landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, civil engineering, landscaping, and construction trades should consider reaching out early to understand the project scope as it develops before bids and permits are finalized.
