SUBJECT: Annexation of 9.53 acres located at 2678 Richmond Avenue; Owners:
Apiary Holdings, LLC
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES:

SYNOPSIS:
A request by the property owner, Apiary Holdings, LLC, to voluntarily annex 9.53 acres located
at 2678 Richmond Avenue has been received. Robert Scripps, IV is the sole manager of Apiary
Holdings, LLC.
FISCAL/STAFFING STATEMENT:
According to the Property Appraiser's records, the parcel is undeveloped, and being assessed as
agriculture/crop land. Based on 2021 property tax roll, the subject property has an assessed value
of $2,131. The total tax bill for the subject property in 2021 is $23.50. If annexed, the property
would be assessed the City's millage rate and generate additional ad valorem taxes. Upon
annexation, it is the applicant's intent to construct an industrial project containing two large
buildings, from which additional taxes will be generated.

Upon annexation, the property will be located in City Commission District 1.
The subject properties are located within Sub -Area 4 of the 2015 Seminole County/City of Sanford
Joint Planning Agreement (JPA). Lands annexed near or adjacent to the airport shall be assigned
land use designations compatible with the Airport Master Plan and in a manner consistent with the
JPA.
The following uses are compatible with the Airport: Industrial parks; corporate business parks;
commercial developments; office complexes; attendant retail; service and hotel uses; medium and
high-density rental residential developments between the 60 and 65 DNL; agricultural uses; public
uses.
All development must be phased concurrent with major public roadway improvements and
installation of drainage, sewer and water utilities. The City and County shall require land use
changes and/or zoning changes to ensure that existing neighborhoods in the area are converted to
airport compatible uses. Resource Protection and Conservation lands must be protected from the
adverse impacts of development with open space requirements, clustering, conservation
easements, wetland buffers and transition areas.
Staff has reviewed the request for annexation and found the request to meet the criteria set forth in
Section 171.044, Florida Statutes, relating to voluntary annexations. The property boundaries are
contiguous to the City's boundary and are reasonably compact. The proposed annexation does not
create a new enclave.
Water service is available off East Lake Mary Boulevard and a lift station would be required to
connect to the sewer force main on Lake Mare Boulevard. A utility easement or plated right of
way is required on Canyon Point before the property owner can route the water main down Canyon
Point to property. A minimum 8 -inch water main with a fire hydrant at the property is required to
meet fire flow requirements. Additionally, sewer is available via a 6 -inch force main, which will
be required to be extended to the proposed lift station on the subject site.
The owner or developer shall be responsible for extending such utility services to the property and
pay impact and connection fees associated with obtaining utility services from the City.
The requested annexation results from a need to obtain utility services in order to construct an
industrial development.
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.
The City Commission approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 4651 on December 13, 2021.
