Horizon West road faces dumping dilemma Residents and county officials are fighting recurring dumping issues at Summerlake Groves Street near Watermark Terrace.

TIM FREED MANAGING EDITOR

A neglected portion of Summerlake Groves Street is finally getting cleaned up — but will dumping issues persist?

Resident Robert Smith, who lives nearby in the new Watermark Terrace community, said he has seen items left along the road

ever since he and his girlfriend, Sharon Roznowski, moved into their new home in December.

That includes a love seat, a recliner, bags of trash and numerous other items.

OCPS gives update on relief elementary

Even with two new high schools, a new middle school and a new elementary school slated for West Orange in the next three years, overcrowding will remain an issue.

District presents zoning options DANIELLE HENDRIX ASSOCIATE EDITOR

During a community meeting March 4 at the Ronald Blocker Educational Leadership Center, dozens of parents and community members gathered to see OCPS staff present rezoning options.

These included rezonings for the two relief high schools, a middle school and an elementary school, along with some targeted rezonings.

Dr. Carol McGowin, director of student enrollment at OCPS, said there are three types of rezonings: technical, targeted and relief school. The two types at hand were relief school and targeted rezonings.

McGowin said OCPS uses a GIS mapping system, which shows them where students are living.

Staff also adds to that a development layer, which depicts every known development that has gone through the city or county and will come forward at some point.

Rezonings discussed at the meeting included both relief high schools opening in West Orange County; a relief elementary school in the Lake Nona area; a relief middle school in Horizon West; and three targeted rezoning that could affect Chain of Lakes and Southwest middle schools; and Sand Lake, Bay Meadows, Whispering Oak and Lake Whitney elementary schools.

TARGETED REZONINGS

The first of these rezonings would affect 28 middle school students in the Sand Lake Hills subdivision, currently split between Southwest and Chain of Lakes middle schools.

OCPS’ recommendation is to move students in the targeted area from Chain of Lakes to Southwest.

The second would affect 24 elementary students residing west of Turkey Lake Road and Interstate 4, in the area of Hillenmeyer Way and south to the intersection of Central Florida and Palm parkways. OCPS’ recommendation is to move students in the targeted area from Bay Meadows Elementary to Sand Lake Elementary.

The final would affect 123 elementary school students residing in the Wintermere Pointe and Emerald Ridge neighborhoods.

OCPS’ recommendation is to move students in the targeted area from Whispering Oak Elementary to Lake Whitney Elementary.

RELIEF SCHOOL REZONINGS

Site 80-H-SW-4, which will relieve Dr. Phillips and Freedom high schools, comes with two rezoning options. The first would have projected student enrollment numbers upon opening in fall 2021 at 1,792 for the relief school, 3,529 for Dr. Phillips and 2,966 for Freedom. Dr. Phillips High’s enrollment numbers include magnet students.

The second option for Site 80-H-SW-4 has projected stu-

dent enrollment numbers upon opening in fall 2021 at 2,334 for the relief school, 3,420 for Dr. Phillips and 2,533 for Freedom. As is OCPS protocol, relief high schools open with no senior class.

The rezoning processes for Site 113-H-W-4 off Seidel Road — which relieves Windermere High School — and Bridgewater Middle relief school Site 65-M-W-4 are more complicated.

There are four rezoning options for the relief high school, and two involve some changes to West Orange High.

Additionally, OCPS proposed a rezoning involving Bridgewater Middle and Site 65-M-W-4 that would have some of the middle school students temporarily housed in a separate wing of the relief high school. The relief middle school — scheduled for a 2023 opening — is close to the relief high school, and Bridgewater Middle still is overcrowded. For those reasons, OCPS is offering to offset some of the overcrowding at Bridgewater by moving students to the relief high school. This would last until Site 65-M-W-4 opens.

Should OCPS decide against this, there still are three rezoning options involving Site 65-M-W-4 and Bridgewater Middle.

Each will be considered during a School Board Rule Development Workshop April 7. They will then head to the School Board meeting and public hearing May 12.

ERIC GUTIERREZ STAFF WRITER

Members of the community heard from builders and officials with Orange County Public Schools as they gave an update on elementary school site 85-E-W4 during the 40% construction community meeting Wednesday, March 4, at Independence Elementary School. The new school will be located at 15450 Porter Road, Winter Garden, on a 14.8-acre site. Construction is expected to be completed in June, and the school is expected to open in August.

Former Citrus Elementary Principal Delaine Bender will serve as the principal of the new school.

“I’ve been hiring staff this past week and looking for staff that do want to create that warm family atmosphere for our kids,” she said. “I will tell you there are lots of people who live out here (who are) teachers that want to work in their home school and bring their own kids there, so that says a lot about the community and the family atmosphere that we’re going to create.”

Byron Lastrapes, of Rhodes + Brito Architects, said one of the changes made to the school’s design was increasing the capac-

ity of the student pickup/dropoff area. The school will have separate bus and parent pick-up/ drop-off locations, as well as an expanded play field area with two separate playgrounds.

“We increased our (car) queuing on-site,” Lastrapes said. “It was a lot less than this (before), but now our (car) stacking is up to 174. I think we used to have 120 or somewhere in that area.”

Safety features include fencing around the perimeter, security cameras and a single point of entry during school hours.

The new school will relieve Independence, Keene’s Crossing and Water Spring elementaries.

Capacity of the new school is 837, but it is expected to open with an enrollment of a little more than 1,000 students and will require 14 portables.

Families of students who will be attending the school currently are working toward selecting the name through a vote. The top three name choices for the new school are Summerlake Elementary, Lake Hancock Elementary and Hamlin Elementary. Once the community votes on a name, the School Board will have to approve of the name selected.

After the name is chosen, the selection process for the school colors and mascot will begin.

The new high school will hold 2,784 students and cover a footprint of 372,295 square feet.

Orange County Public Schools broke ground on Site 80-H-SW4 during a ceremony Monday, March 2 — the latest effort to relieve Dr. Phillips High School.

The high school, located along Fenton Street off South Apopka Vineland Road near the Rosen Jewish Community Center of Southwest Orlando, also will relieve Freedom High School. It

will have a student capacity of 2,784. Both Dr. Phillips and Freedom high schools are more than 1,000 students over capacity.

“This school is really necessary, because Orange County has become a very, very popular place to live, work and play,” Orange County School Board District 4 Member Pam Gould said. “Both Freedom High School and Dr. Phillips have experienced tremendous growth.”

The school has a construction

County battles illegal dumping CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

the Watermark Townhomes and connects with the road again — was once the original Seidel Road.

It’s been neglected since the new Seidel Road was constructed nearby.

“It has not been maintained since the new road was installed,” Orange County officials said in a statement Friday, March 6.

“Orange County Public Works has started to coordinate the removal of illegally dumped trash from the right of way area. There will be a crew working (Saturday, March 7), and they are going to start piling up the debris for removal.

Orange County Public Works will continue the cleanup and mowing next week as time permits.”

Smith said he was pleased to see the cleanup effort over the weekend.

“It’s a huge relief, because Sharon and I were just talking that we have family coming in town next week and the week after, and we can actually drive them down that road to come to our home without being ashamed of where we live,” Smith said.

Orange County has picked up many of the items, but there is a concern that the dumping will continue along the road moving forward, Smith said. Even in just the few months he and Roznowski have lived nearby, the trash continues to appear, he said.

“They’re still dumping — it’s not like this was a one-time deal,” said Smith, adding that a

“We’ve cleaned as much we can and we clean all the time, but there’s only so much that we can do.”

Residents have found a variety of items on Summerlake Groves Street.

large pile of fencing material was dumped just last week. “This is a continuing problem. I have no reason to believe it’s going to stop.”

The county should continue to monitor the roads and keep them clean, he said.

“We can’t go out and pick up wheels and tires and couches and love seats and farm equipment and throw it away — there’s a limit,” Smith said. “It’s not something that an old crippled guy and school teacher can do in the back of their Chrysler 300. We’ve cleaned as much we can and we clean all the time, but there’s only so much that we can do.”

The trash and dumping of items along Summerlake Groves Street has extended beyond just along the street, Smith said. There also are trash, tires and other items left in the woods just south of Summerlake Groves Street. That dumping is taking place despite signs posted by the Orange County Environmental Protection

Division and the South Florida Water Management Division telling residents not to dump items there.

“It’s nice that they say that, but it’s not nice that the county doesn’t enforce it or that they don’t even bother to send someone out once a month or once a year or however often to say, ‘Hey, this isn’t right — we’ve got to clean it up,’” Smith said.

With the Watermark Terrace community still under construction, Smith said there’s a trash problem in the new community, as well. Workers sometimes throw their garbage into the streets or trash gets blown away in the wind from overflowing Dumpsters.

Much of the trash was in Smith and Roznowski’s backyard.

“On move-in day, my brother, Ron, spent about four hours picking up trash and he had four large lawn bags,” Smith said.

The community’s HOA did not respond to a request for comment before press time.

HOW TO REPORT DUMPING Any dumping in the right of way or roadway is the responsibility of the Orange County Public Works Department, according to a statement from Orange County. If residents see something, they should call 311 to report it.

tatives held a discussion about the proposed one-cent sales tax increase to pay for transportation and infrastructure-related needs in the county.

“For a municipality that has an overall budget of about $6 million a year, we typically put about $400,000 away for those road improvement projects,” Town Manager Robert Smith said. “We have to save for years on end in order to make those (road) improvements. But with this initiative, hopefully Orange County recognizes that a lot of the (traffic) impacts that we’re dealing with at this time are a direct result to other jurisdictions and the approvals they have done over the years.”

Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings has called for the proposed sales tax increase to be placed on the November ballot to help fund transportation needs throughout the county. The proposed tax also gives those needs a dedicated funding source for years to come. Prior to going to vote by the citizens, the Orange

n The Windermere Police Chief awarded the President’s Volunteer Service Award to its reserve deputies: Sgt. John Alcalde and officer Lori Sipek earned the silver award; and officers Brian Miller, Jeff Bacigalupi, Patrick Husic and Kevin Tuck earned the bronze award.

This is the first year the Windermere Police Department has registered for the award. . n Town leaders approved the Temporary Town Facilities Plan. During construction of the town’s new administrative facility, the existing administrative facility and police department will be moved to a site located at the intersection of West Fifth Avenue and Forest Street.

County Commission must vote to place the sales-tax increase on the ballot.

If approved, the increase could generate about $596 million each year, with 51% of those revenues

generated by tourists. The tax would be applied to retail goods and services costing less than $5,000 but not prescription drugs, essential grocery items or utilities.

The revenue generated from the increase would help fund Lynx, SunRail and other transportation-related needs. Revenues would be divided among four areas of focus: transit (30 to 40%); roadways (30 to 40%); safety (10 to 15%); and recurring operational cost (10 to 15%).

The manner in which the revenues related to roadways and recurring operation costs will be divided among the county and the municipalities was a cause for concern among town leaders.

“The issues we’ve had and we’ve discussed … comes down to the allocation of the money within these pots,” Smith said.

“We’re asking for recognition for the fact that, especially with the town of Windermere, we have proven that the traffic we’re experiencing have direct correlation to the approvals of Orange County. With the Horizon West development and the contin-

ued approvals of Horizon West development, we have shown in a (traffic) study that … 75% of that traffic is cutting through and that’s the origin destination.”

Smith said the town also has concerns regarding the transportation initiative oversight structure. There would be three bodies that oversee transportation initiatives in the county: the Technical Committee, Transportation Initiative Oversight Board and the County Commission.

“We believe we should have a say in how some of that money should be spent,” Smith said.

“That say should not be diluted in a lot of political back and forth when it comes to … (an) advisory committee, a review committee and then it finally goes to the (County Commission). We’re looking for a fair and equitable way … for us to make sure that projects that we’ve submitted will be on an actual list — a priority list — that will actually be funded.”

Orange County will hold its second work session regarding the proposed sales-tax increase March 24.

Grove Resort plans expansion Construction for the new units in the vacation development is expected to start this summer.

ERIC GUTIERREZ STAFF WRITER

Studio and one-bedroom vacation home options are coming to The Grove Resort & Water Park in Winter Garden.

The Terraces at The Grove Resort will be the newest addition to The Grove Resort and Water Park, a vacation home destination located at 14501 Grove Resort Ave., Winter Garden. The studio and one-bedroom condos will be the first ones at the resort, which comprises primarily two- and three-bedroom units.

The Terraces will add 160 new units to The Grove Resort. Most of those will be 360-square-foot studios and 482-square-foot one-bedroom condos, with sale prices ranging from $189,000 to $284,000. All studios and condos — like The Grove Resort’s existing two- and three-bedroom units — will come fully furnished. When owners aren’t staying at their residence at The Grove Resort, the residences can be placed in a short-term rental program to

generate revenue to offset the cost of ownership. Additionally, each residence is maintained by the resort.

Noah Breakstone, CEO of Terraces developer BTI Partners, said the studio and one-bedroom units help expand the resort’s vacation residence options to guests.

“It looks, feels and acts completely as a hotel, but all of the units are individually owned,” Breakstone said. “The Terraces is our last phase of (the resort). … The beautiful part about the environment of The Grove Resort is when you come here with your family, you feel like you’re at home. You have a living room, you have a dining room, you have a full kitchen, you have a washer and dryer — so you’re not crammed into one hotel room.”

Dominic Pickering, director of sales at The Grove, said 80 of the 160 units at The Terraces will be studios, 56 will be one-bedroom condos and the remainder will be two-bedroom units. Construction of The Terraces at The Grove Resort will begin this summer

“It looks, feels and acts completely as a hotel, but all of the units are individually owned.”

and is expected to be completed by the end of 2021 or early 2022.

Sales for residences at The Terraces launched Feb. 27.

“We’ve had a lot of demand over the last couple of years from guests (for one-bedroom units),” Pickering said. “There are a lot of guests that don’t want a two- or three-bedroom unit. They want a smaller unit, because they’re a smaller group. … Separately, there’s been an awful lot of buyers who’ve said, ‘Wouldn’t it be lovely to have an entry-level (option) around $200,000.’ So, essentially, that’s what we’ve created.”

The Grove Resort & Water Park opened in 2017 and currently has 878 two- and three-bedroom vacation residences. The resort is filled with amenities such as its Safari Water Park that offers multiple slides, a lazy river and a surf simulator; 6,300 square-

foot game room; three swimming pools; an onsite spa; a fitness center; high-end restaurants; a large grab-and-go market; lakefront pier and three bars and lounges onsite. Amenities also include a pool with private cabanas, poolside bar, fire-pit seating area, gym, grab-and-go market and a casual lounge. Residents and guests of The Terraces also will be able to take advantage of the other amenities offered at The Grove Resort.

“The Grove Resort & Water Park attracts a diverse group of buyers and resort guests from all over the globe,” Breakstone said. “We offer them a world-class resort experience coupled with a feeling of ‘being at home’ thanks to the design of our hotel residences; all just minutes from the Walt Disney World’s park entrance.”

The 160 new units coming to The Grove Resort will include fully furnished 360-squarefoot studios and 482-square-foot onebedroom condos.

WINDERMERE PREP TO HOST OPEN HOUSE Families interested in enrolling their children at Windermere Preparatory School will have the opportunity to check out the school at an upcoming event.

Windermere Prep will be hosting its Prospective Family Spring Open House and BBQ event at 5 p.m. Thursday, March 26, at the school campus at 6189 Winter Garden-Vineland Road, Windermere.

Those in attendance will get to mingle with current families of students who attend the school, tour the campus and learn about the programs and events.

Families also will get to dine on barbecue, and children will be able to blow off steam at one of the bounce houses.

To register visit, bit.ly/3cAT3Qt.

BOARD REVIEWS POLICY REVISIONS The Orange County School Board reviewed March 5 changes to policies regarding critical teacher shortages, graduation exercises and threats.

The purpose of the revisions is to ensure compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, Florida State Board of Education Rules, board policies, administrative rules, procedures and guidelines.

The teacher-shortage policy is being revised to eliminate the need for continued policy revisions on an annual basis and to give Superintendent Dr. Barbara Jenkins the authority to annually determine the schools that are critical-teacher-shortage schools. The policy also is being revised to implement the requirements of the FDOE rules regarding the submission of critical-teacher-shortage school lists.

The graduation and threats policies have been revised to legislative updates, content, formatting and terminology edits consistent with statutory language.

INFLUENCER OF THE WEEK

REED REYNOLDS THE FIRST ACADEMY

Reed Reynolds jumped right in his first year at The First Academy — not only joining the lacrosse team, but also quickly became a beloved and valued team member. He has passionately taken over the aquaponics program, growing interest and produce that faculty and families enjoy. He teaches freshmen world geography. Reynolds also stepped right into the lacrosse program, supporting coach David Oliver. In that role, he has bonded with the players to strengthen the team — especially during a difficult year in which Oliver fought and survived cancer.

What do you love most about your school?

I love the very welcoming and friendly community, strong faith environment and the weekly chapels. TFA has been a great experience for my family and me — both spiritually and improving my worklife balance.

What’s your favorite part of your role?

The favorite part of my role is helping students succeed through the teaching of valuable life lessons, discipline and positive thinking in the classroom and in sports.

What motivates you and pushes you to do your best?

Seeing the success of my students’ hard work in the classroom and on the field over the years. Teaching them and hearing about their success after high school. It’s very satisfying to see where students start the school year in August and

REPORT CARD ROLE: World geography and agriculture science foundations teacher/assistant boys varsity lacrosse coach TIME AT THE SCHOOL: First year

their progress and improvement into May.

What’s the nicest thing a student or faculty member has done for you?

I don’t think there is just one thing in particular, but personal recognition of positive influence from students or faculty is always appreciated. Anytime you hear a genuine “thank you” from a student or a colleague has something positive to say about something you did — it means a lot.

If you could take a vacation anywhere, where would you go?

I took Latin in school, and I learned a lot about Rome and its history, so I’d like to visit Rome and different places in Italy for their food and culture.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I like to spend time with my wife and son, playing lacrosse, exercising in my garage gym and watching movies. I like most of Denzel Washington’s and Mark Wahlberg’s movies.

If you could meet anyone, from present day or throughout history, who would it be?

I would like to meet Paul the Apostle for his major contributions to the Bible.

Cats, dogs or other pets?

Definitely dogs. I have always had at least one dog my whole life, and I have one dog currently that is a 4-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?

I would have to go with teleportation, because it is the best superpower. Flying is cool, but teleportation is faster. Invisibility is cool, but teleportation can pretty much accomplish the same thing. Reading other people’s minds … it might sound like a cool idea, but teleportation is still better. We shouldn’t be worried about what everyone else really thinks all the time anyway.

In a top matchup between Olympia and Windermere on the baseball diamond, the Titans (5-1) walked away with a 6-2 win Wednesday, March 4, thanks in large part to a strong pitching performance from Mitchell Harding — who gave up only two runs during 5 1/3 innings pitched with five strikeouts.

After a wild fourth round, Tyrrell Hatton walked away from the Arnold Palmer Invitational with his first PGA Tour win.

TROY HERRING SPORTS EDITOR

I

n the throes of a big moment, finding the right words can be difficult.

As the cheering from the packed grandstand on the 18th hole grew louder, all Tyrrell Hatton could do was let out a sigh of relief before combing his hand through his hair and uttering out softly, “Oh my God, I can’t believe it.”

With those words, the 28-yearold Englishman found himself coming to grips with what he had just accomplished. At 4-underpar, Hatton came out on top at the Arnold Palmer Invitational — his first win on the PGA Tour.

“It’s an incredible feeling to win

on the PGA Tour and to do it at such an iconic venue,” Hatton said.

“I’ve grown up watching this event as a kid on TV, and to be sitting here next to the trophy now is an amazing feeling, and (I’m) very thankful I managed to hold on at the end.”

Going into the fourth and final round Sunday, March 8, at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge, Hatton — a four-time European Tour winner — held a two-stroke lead over Rory McIlroy and Marc Leishman and was looking for another strong outing. That was easier said than done.

From the beginning of that round, Hatton struggled as his tee shot on the first hole landed in a bunker — ultimately leading him to a bogey to start his day at 1-over.

Hatton recovered as he hit for par on the next three holes, but once again, he found himself in trouble with another bogey on the par-4 fifth hole.

Just as he did earlier, Hatton recovered, following the bogey by hitting on-par at six before notching back-to-back birdies on the seventh and eighth holes to retake sole possession of first place. A few holes later, on the par4 11th, Hatton took on his biggest challenge of the day.

Hatton has amusingly admitted to being a “head case” sometimes, and that showed when his ball found its watery demise right off the tee — an ill-fated sign that ultimately resulted in Hatton finishing with a double-bogey.

The dreadful result saw Hatton slam his club into the ground before using his putter as a rifle — “firing” a few shots at the pond. He then threw a colorful gesture in the direction of the body of water that swallowed his ball.

“I was just annoyed because my third shot in was actually one of the best swings I made all day,” Hatton said. “We had the run out on the TV tower, which was my line, we had 193, and I’ve hit a 5-iron at my target and the wind just completely dropped. So that kind of went against us on that hole, and I was just having a little moan, like it’s the grass’ fault and the wind’s fault. It’s never my fault.”

Cooper Mills A senior at Dr. Phillips High, Cooper Mills is now in his second year playing on the Panthers’ varsity baseball team. For the first time in his high school career, Mills is starting at first base, and he leads the team in batting average (.480) and hits (12), and is tied in RBI (eight).

When did you first get into baseball?

I’ve been playing since I was 5, and I kind of just played all the sports then — baseball was just my favorite, so I stuck with it.

THE BASICS SCHOOL: Dr. Phillips High School YEAR: Senior AGE: 18 SPORT: Baseball POSITION: First base

What has kept you in the game for so long?

I just think it’s cool to be a part of a team — these are my friends.

means a lot, because I probably won’t play in college, so I’m just trying to make the most of (my situation) while I still can.

What has been your favorite thing about playing at Dr. Phillips?

Just the friends I made along the way, and it’s always fun to win.

What happens after your graduate?

I think I want to go to UCF — major in biochemistry.

What is your favorite part about playing at first base?

My favorite part is probably we’re involved a lot, because the ball is always going over there.

Do you have a favorite MLB team or player you like to watch?

My favorite team is the Rays.

My favorite player was Evan Longoria, because he was like their best player before he got traded.

What’s the most challenging aspect about baseball?

Something that is challenging about it is you have to think a lot during it. You have to pay attention and know what’s going on to be really good at it.

What is your routine before a game?

I just take some swings in the cage — we have a small bat that I do one-hand swings with, and it usually gets me feeling good — and then just stretch. I don’t do anything specifically.

Is there a highlight moment that stands out to you during your time at DP? My favorite moment probably is I hit a walk-off a little while ago — against East Ridge one or two weeks ago. There was a runner on second with one out — I think — and it was tied. I was down in the count 0-2 and found my way back, and then I just hit a line drive to leftcenter.

When you hit a slump, how do you mentally get past that?

I just try to figure out what I was doing before, because it was working, so if I keep doing it it’s bound to work eventually.

When you get free time, what do you like to do?

I like to watch TV and play Xbox and stuff.

I go to the park with my friends, too — I like basketball and the park.

This is your first year as a starter on the team.

What does that mean to you?

CORRECTING FOR THE COURSE

Hatton wasn’t alone when it came to struggles — and anger — relating to the U.S. Open-like weather and difficulty of the course.

After two calm rounds to start the tournament, Saturday and Sunday saw significant weather changes. The temperature dropped into the 60s, and a forceful wind made even the simplest shots difficult.

THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 2020

Rowers make waves at OARS regatta R owing teams packed into Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake Saturday, March 7, and Sunday, March 8, for the annual OARS Invitational Regatta hosted by the Windermere-based Orlando Area Rowing Society.

More than 1,000 rowers from crew organizations around the state of Florida — as well as neighboring states — competed on a 1500-meter course in the middle of Turkey Lake.

Races, which were supposed to take place every seven minutes, were sometimes delayed because of a heavy breeze that swept through during the weekend. Despite the difficult weather, rowers still got the chance to showcase their skills.

Sarasota Crew members got into place before their race on Turkey Lake.

— TROY HERRING This First Coast RC boat sped down the course.
