Item No. 7C
A request by the property owner(s), Thelma Knudsen, Trust, to voluntarily annex 6.62 acres with
a project address of 2991 Knudsen Drive has been submitted. The owners of the trust are Daniel
Knudsen, Terrence Knudsen, David Knudsen, Phillip Knudsen and Jesse Harris who are each 20%
beneficiaries. Jeffery Seyler is the applicant and owner's agent.
F'ISCALISTAF'F"ING STATEMENT:
According to the Property Appraiser's records, the subject properties have mobile homes and a
single-family structure occupying the site. One parcel has one 672 square foot mobile home built
in 1972 and the second parcel contains three mobile homes ranging in size from 420 to 960 square
feet. In addition, there is one 506 square foot single-family structure built in 1950. Based on the
2018 property tax roll, the existing properties have an assessed value of $354,312. The total tax
bill for the properties in 2018 was $5,073.71. If annexed, the properties would be assessed the
City's millage rate and generate an estimated $2,595 in ad valorem taxes. Under existing
conditions, the municipal costs will be minimal, while tax revenue would increase by $2,595.
Upon, annexation, it is the applicant's intent to use the property for office/warehouse which will
facilitate new non-residential construction and additional tax revenue to the city. The properties
are not within a Planning Sub Area of the 2015 Seminole County/City of Sanford Joint Planning
Area.

owners shall be responsible for all impact and connection fees associated with obtaining utility
services from the City to the annexed property and to extend such utility services to the annexed
property to the extent that such utilities are not available.
The property owner(s) Thelma Knudsen Trust is requesting annexation to construct
office/warehouse buildings.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed and determined that the annexation, as implemented, would
comply with controlling State law and has prepared the proposed Ordinance.

acres bearing the address 2991 Knudsen Drive as legally described into the City of Sanford.
