MARKET EARNS RANKING

Designers open discussion for changes to Dillard Street Meetings will give developers a sense of what locals, business heads and property owners want to see. ZAK KERR STAFF WRITER WINTER GARDEN As a main gate-

way from State Road 50 to Plant Street and downtown Winter Garden, South Dillard Street is an important corridor from the city’s perspective of growth management and livability. Aging utilities will require replacements on this roughly mile-long segment, which means crews will dig up the road and

repave it after the upgrades. But local residents, business leaders and property owners agreed with Toole Design Group engineer Ian Lockwood that it needs to be much more. “So while we’re digging up the street to replace the sewers and everything, why not put it back the way we want it?” Lockwood asked rhetorically. “We will SEE DILLARD PAGE 6A

American Farmland Trust’s summer-long Farmers Market Celebration has come to an end, and the Winter Garden Farmers Market was rated in the top 50 best in class. This year’s celebration encouraged customers, family farmers and community members to endorse their market in four unique areas: Focus on Farmers, Healthy Food for All, Pillar of the Community and Champion for the Environment. Here’s how Winter Garden ranked nationally: People’s Choice (No. 11), Focus on Farmers (13), Healthy Food for All (10), Pillar of the Community (10) and Champion for the Environment (12).

Ocoee commission approves church school plan The commission clarified the timeframe during which Iglesia Cristiana Sendero De Luz could use the portables on its property. JENNIFER NESSLAR STAFF WRITER OCOEE The Ocoee

City Commission unanimously approved a special exception for a church, Iglesia Cristiana Sendero De Luz, to use six portables for a school the church is planning. This is an amendment to a July 1, 2014, special exception, which allowed the church to use three portables. Under the special exception, the church must remove three portables once it begins construction on a permanent building, which should take place seven years from the date of the original exemption. This gives the church five-and-one-half years to start construction. Once work commences, the church will have 18 months to complete it. At that time, the remaining three portables must be removed. The timeline differs a bit from Pastor Ricardo Orsini’s original understanding of it. “It was a surprise for me because my original understand-

Pastor Ricardo Orsini will use these portables temporarily as his church opens its school. They must be removed from the property once the church constructs a building.

ing was that it would be seven years from the time we had our (certificate of occupancy), Orsini said. “Obviously, we’re not using the buildings for that purpose. I felt that to be a little unfair because it took us over a year just

to get them permitted. I’m being penalized for following the procedures they have in place.” The church still has not received its C.O., but Orsini believes he will have it in November. Mayor John Grogan understood

the challenges the small church faces, especially now that there is five-and-one-half years left before the church must begin construction. “Now this puts you back a year and a half, which is pretty tragic,” he said. “We understand, we’ve been over to your place, we understand the whole thing. I want to be very fair with you before you invest in it, because it’s a very large investment for you to proceed with this.” The church plans to open the school in January. At that time, the preschool portion will be established, with hopes of opening an elementary school later. The location also will facilitate a middle and high school in the back portables, under an alreadyestablished educational program. Commissioner Rosemary Wilsen wanted to make sure there was a timeframe for all the portables to come down. “This particular city doesn’t like them,” Orsini said of the portables. “That was their biggest hiccup.” Contact Jennifer Nesslar at jnesslar@wotimes.com.

IN OTHER NEWS n Dewitt Excavating was awarded a bid for $1,425,549.10 to improve the drainage system on Bluford Avenue from Columbus to Seventh streets. n The commission approved the annexation and rezoning of the Asnine & Dukes property on 5907 Ingram Road. The land includes a singlefamily residence and Joan’s Villa Assisted Living Facility, a minor-community residential home which holds a maximum of seven residents. n A first reading occurred for two properties seeking to be rezoned to a planned unit development. One property is Crystal Investments Assisted Living Facility, which seeks rezoning to allow for an assisted living and memory care facility. The other is the Ocoee Landings, which seeks rezoning for mixed-use development. The public hearing is scheduled for Oct. 20.

NEWS BRIEFS Rep. Webster in Speaker race As the U.S. House of Representatives majority leader, analysts pegged Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-California) as the successor to Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) for speaker of the House. But when House Republicans gathered to make a nomination Oct. 8, McCarthy announced he was withdrawing and suggested delaying the vote. Boehner, still acting speaker until Oct. 30, granted the delay. Among several emerging candidates for the Republican nomination for speaker is West Orange’s Rep. Daniel Webster, who represents District 10. Republicans must decide on an official nominee by Oct. 29, when the vote for the new speaker will happen. Democrat Nancy Pelosi (California) is considered the favorite for her party’s nomination. Fears within the Republican Party include failing to get a 218-vote majority for the official nominee, which could prompt multiple votes and a possibility of the Democratic nominee being elected.

IN OTHER NEWS n Commissioners unanimously approved the Developer’s Agreement for Sonata West, a 115 unit assistedliving facility at 420 Roper Road. The developer agreed to pay alternative impact fees, sidewalk construction costs and a fair share of a traffic light at Roper Road. n City Manager Mike Bollhoefer said the Avalon and Tilden Road traffic light will turn on “any day now.” n Construction in downtown for the long-awaited parking garage will begin after the Bloom and Grow Festival in April 2016.

nole St., which also were eligible for rehab. Consultant David Fox, of Fred Fox Enterprises, told commissioners bidders were concerned about lead in those homes. Fox said those properties are now clean and he expects to have bids on them by the next city commission meeting on Oct. 22. Construction costs for each home includes new roofs. Commissioner Colin Sharman said he thought the rehab amounts seemed excessive until he learned new roofs were part of the bid.

CRUZ-N-CAR SHOW

City Manager Mike Bollhoefer provided an update on the status of the Cruz-N-Car show. He met

with a representative of the show to see if there was a way it could continue. He outlined some of the concerns of local merchants and told commissioners that talks are ongoing. “We’re committed to holding an event every third Saturday,” he said. Bollhoefer said many merchants favor a variety of events and staff is considering events in addition to the car show that can draw people to downtown. For example, the Villages hosts a popular golf-cart event during which residents park their tricked out and modified golf carts in downtown. Hosting a variety of events could be better for Winter Garden

in the long run. Mayor John Rees said that in choosing events city staff should keep in mind what events the residents will like to attend. NEW REGULATIONS

Bollhoefer asked commissioners to provide feedback before the next meeting about proposed regulations for vendors at city events. The city would like to encourage organizers to enforce higher quality standards for vendors. Bollhoefer also said city staff will draft new codes to regulate bars on windows in downtown. “Bars on windows aren’t very inviting,” he said.

you ever thought there was someone sitting next to you in the Garden Theatre, but you looked and realized the seat was empty? American Ghost Adventures will attempt to communicate with the friendly apparitions that have been sighted in the downtown Winter Garden theater during four scheduled tours this month. The two-hour interactive walking tour will start and end at the Winter Garden Heritage Museum on Plant Street. The guide — called a professional ghost ambassador — will share history, ghost stories and urban legends and lead a ghost investigation where guests can work with equipment.

CATHERINE SINCLAIR STAFF WRITER OAKLAND Joe Williams will intro-

duce himself as “Holiday Joe.” For him, there is just no time like the holidays, when he recruits his entire family to carry hundreds of costumes, animatronics, antiques and other decorations down from the attic and display them all over the house and yard. Williams started small in 1976, but his house at 15304 E. Oakland Ave. has become a highly sought destination for the holidays — especially Halloween. “We started with one mask and a flashlight … and it keeps getting bigger and bigger every year,” Williams said. On Halloween night, the house is open to the public and draws a crowd. Giveaways include fullsized candy bars, monster chili, soft drinks and glow sticks. Everything is free, including a tour of the inside of the house. Guests can expect to wait hours in line for their turn to go through the indoor “scare rooms.” About 20 of Williams’ friends and family members dress up and participate as actors with two rules: No touching the guests and no risqué costumes.

Black curtains and strobes prevent guests from seeing too far in front of themselves. “We have people that hear the screams and just turn right back around,” said Josette Williams, Joe’s daughter. “They won’t come in the house at all.” Josette Williams recently graduated from the Joe Blasco Makeup Artist Training Center, and she’s looking forward to using new techniques she has learned while she helps everyone get ready for the big night. “I’m trying to build up my makeup career as much as I can,” she said. Every year, the house has an overall theme. This year’s theme is “Star Wars,” which has prompted the Williams family to purchase Storm Troopers and costumes that resemble characters in the new movie. Because Halloween is on a Saturday this year, there likely could be even longer lines, and the festivities could last until midnight. But to help ease the crowd, the family hopes some visitors will choose to stop by the night before instead. There will be a zombie walk Friday, Oct. 30, at the house. And if you don’t make it for

Ting Rappa, one of the American Ghost Adventures founders and one of the tour leaders, said employees are not ghost hunters. “We’re just introducing people to the ghosts that are there,” she said. Participants will visit two museums and the theater and make stops at several storefronts. “We will have access to at least one building where we’ll go inside and get a view of the paranormal perspective,” Rappa said. “You’ll understand that ghosts want to come out and talk to us.” She stressed that it is not a haunted house experience, so no one will be jumping out to scare anyone. And although guests might not see any ghosts, they will be guaranteed a good time.

“Nine out of 10 tours, you do get paranormal activity,” she said. “We have a very good relationship with the people, the building owners, our staff members — and the ghosts. We try to make it a very interactive experience with these ghosts.” In the Garden Theatre, apparitions have been spotted sitting in the main theater and shadows have been seen in the messanine, Rappa said. “Men, women, children; they’re very friendly,” she said. “It’s a very active theater. It’s always very positive, never anything negative. … They know they’re part of the team, they are part of the family.” Contact Amy Quesinberry Rhode at aqrhode@wotimes.com.

THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MISS MARY

Joe Williams’ house was built in 1905 by a man who had become quite wealthy as a cucumber farmer. The farmer told his wife he would build her a house anywhere she wanted, and she chose Oakland because of family ties. “The first 10 or 12 years we lived here, we’d hear a little girl say, ‘Mommy, Mommy, Mommy,’ and we didn’t have any little kids at the time,” Williams said. “We all heard it.” The family named the potential specter “Miss Mary.” Williams said he doesn’t know who she might be or how she might have died. He said there also have been cases of floating orbs appearing all over the yard in photos that people have taken of the house.

Residents dream up new Dillard translate all the words that are said here into drawings with what we call starter ideas.” Lockwood — who helped redesign Plant Street about 15 years ago — presented ideas for a redesign of South Dillard Street Oct. 6 in the Winter Garden City Commission Chambers. He offered locals chances to brainstorm so that his design team would have a proper idea of what they want the street to be. Lockwood said observations about this area from before the meeting had included poor aesthetics, a need for business, fast and heavy traffic, long width of the street, many pedestrians and a psychological disconnect from one side of the city to the other. Among ideas Lockwood presented were trail connections; shade; foliage; green infrastructure; street parking; improved emergency and delivery access;

short medians; art; and roundabouts with potential locations of Plant Street, Smith Street and Story Avenue. The roundabouts even could be shaped differently from traditional ones, such as those in Windermere. Peanut and dumbbell shapes were Lockwood’s two different examples, and he said twolane roundabouts likely would be best for Dillard Street. He also cited statistics of significantly reduced speeds, injury rates and death rates from roundabouts. Especially with a roundabout or street parking, the road would ideally have a reduction from the current five-lane format to mostly three lanes, Lockwood said. A design phase from Nov. 16 to 19 should include more formalized design plans, Lockwood said. Public meetings at 6 p.m. both Nov. 16 and 19 will involve discussions of plans and presen-

COMMUNITY EDITOR WINTER GARDEN Sharon

Lyles started fulfilling a basic need for single mothers nearly 18 years ago when she learned many of them could get baby formula through government subsidy programs but not diapers. Lacking ample supplies, Lyles said, babies were sitting in wet and soiled diapers too long. And, without diapers, mothers couldn’t leave their children in daycare. Through her nonprofit organization in Winter Garden, Second Chance Resource Center, she collects and distributes diapers, hygiene supplies, clothing and formula to keep babies healthy and thriving. She started Second Chance in 1997 as a mentoring program for teenage mothers and provided diapers and clothing for the babies. The agency’s mission changed three years ago to assist singleparent families in Central Florida by providing diapers to infants and toddlers. Gabrielle Randle, Lyles’ daughter, joined the board in 2007 and is the organization’s vice president. “This organization was inspired with the belief that all children should receive quality care and have basic baby essentials,” Lyles

WISH LIST n Diapers: sizes 3, 4, 5 and 6 n Pull-Ups: all sizes n Diaper wipes n Formula: most requested are Enfamil Gentlease and Similac Sensitive n Baby and toddler foods n Clothing: newborn to size 24 months To make a donation, call Sharon Lyles at (407) 656-7055.

said. “There was no specific social service program in our local community to address the need of single-parent families being able to provide their infants and toddlers with diapers and other basic baby essentials. “As a result, single-parent households are forced to make tough choices about providing basic needs for their children like buying groceries or diapers, providing a place to stay and paying utilities,” she said. “You probably guessed that buying food or paying rent and utilities takes priority over purchasing diapers.” Lyles gives out the diapers and supplies for free, so she is always in need of fresh supplies. Winter Garden City Hall and

Curves Winter Garden served as drop-off sites for a monthlong diaper drive that collected 2,655 diapers. Lyles said this supply would last about two-and-onehalf months. It’s not too late to help, though. Andrea Vaughn, community relations manager for the city, said diapers can be dropped off yearround at City Hall. A $20 donation buys diapers for four babies. “I, like many, get energized by all the selfless work our residents do for others, so when I have the opportunity to help, it is an honor to do so,” Vaughn said. City Manager Mike Bollhoefer agreed. “Creating different charity drives brings an awareness ... about current community needs and an opportunity to assist our neighbors,” he said. “We look forward to those drives that focus on the non-profit organization and their missions that dovetail with a better quality of life for all Winter Garden residents.” Volunteers also can make a difference, and there are many opportunities to help. This includes sponsoring an event, sponsoring a family or distributing fliers. Second Chance Resource Center is at 1041 Crown Park Circle, Winter Garden. For more, call (407) 656-7055.

Donut Dash to bolster bond between police, children AMY QUESINBERRY RHODE COMMUNITY EDITOR

Everyone knows the old stereotype of cops and doughnut shops, but this time the matchup is for a good cause. The Winter Garden Police Athletic League is hosting a Donut Dash 5K Run/Walk early Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Winter Garden Village at Fowler Groves. Check-in begins at 6:15 a.m., the 5K kicks off at 8, and a mini fun run for children is at 9. The threequarter-mile kids’ run is free with a paid adult. Participants have a couple of options when running or walking this Donut Dash. It can be run like a regular 5K, or runners can stop at one of two “donut zones” for a sugary treat. Every doughnut eaten in these zones will take 30 seconds off the run time. So, if a runner eats four pastries, two minutes will be deleted from the final time. Anyone who eats a dozen or more doughnuts will receive an additional bonus of one minute per doughnut over 12 taken off. Medals will be provided to all finishers, and additional medals will be given for the best doughnut costume. There will be a special police, fire and rescue relay category, as well. In addition to the course run, attendees can visit Knightro from

Next-gen newshounds Florida Film Academy has partnered with the West Orange Times & Observer to start a program to teach kids about journalism in the modern world. CATHERINE SINCLAIR STAFF WRITER WINTER GARDEN

When did you open your shop? What’s the most interesting thing you sell? What is a day like in your shoes? If you are a Winter Garden business owner and kids toting cameras, notepads and press badges walk into your shop, be prepared to face their questions. These curious young reporters and photographers are members of Journalism X, a new program offered by Florida Film Academy in partnership with the West Orange Times & Observer. “They’re capturing stories that matter to them, from a kid’s perspective,” said Stefanie Esquijarosa, vice president of operations at FFA. Everybody has a story to tell, and that’s what they’re trying to achieve.” The class, which started Sept. 3, meets at 5:30 p.m. Thursdays, and enrollment is always open. Students choose whether they want to focus on writing or photography. Each week, the students work together to create a human interest piece or story about a local business. They circle up before the interview to brainstorm about questions to ask and angles to take. Recently, the class went to Ms. Bee’s Gourmet Popcorn and Candy Store. Tatum Cempella and Menu Hamlett conducted a video interview with owner Belinda Wilson, while the photographers searched the store for interesting and artistic shots.

Cempella, 10, wants to be a writer when she grows up. “We started doing creative writing in first grade, and I really liked it,” she said. “(In Journalism X), we get to do creative writing and express our thoughts.” In addition to supporting the writers, the photographers have creative assignments that focus on various topics, such as trees or chairs. They are also working on a long-term photo project called “Catarazzi.” Whenever they see a cat, they take its picture. “They’re brilliant photographers,” said Kay Hill, vice president of programming. The students also will be learning how to identify newsworthy

topics and present content in an engaging way. Social media has changed the way that audiences digest news, and it’s important to be able to grab an online reader’s attention in the few seconds. “That’s a really important skill that not only transcends what they’re doing in this industry, but beyond that,” Esquijarosa said. Local media professionals will be attending Journalism X as guest teachers and interviewees. Journalism X is open to children ages 7 to 17. To enroll, contact FFA at (407) 654-8400.

RAVE OF THE WEEK

Ny-Lene Melendez-Paris on the lobster roll at Bates New England Seafood and Subs: “I don’t know if I can say this. But honestly, in all the months I have been working here and making these things, I have never even tasted one or known why (they are) so popular. But I sat down and ate one for the first time and can officially say I see why people come here. I got warmed with butter, and it just melted in my mouth. I’m pretty blessed to love the food I get to cook every day.” We have partnered with the Winter Garden Rants, Raves and Reviews Facebook group to spotlight a different “rave” each week.

hen many people think of “coloring,” images of a toddler’s fist haphazardly dragging a crayon over paper might come to mind. But many adults are realizing this artistic activity can have benefits for them, as well. Bookstores and libraries have recently been stocking their shelves with adult coloring books. The design options are limitless — from animals and flowers to geometric patterns and mandalas — and they are more intricate than those intended for children.

Shy, sweet Brutus (ID #A251342) is in need of a new home. He’s a friendly 8-year-old dog who is a little reserved when he first meets you, but once he gets to know you, he warms up well. His owner surrendered him with 14 other dogs, so Brutus is looking for a new owner who can provide all the love and attention he needs. He gets along well with other dogs and would do well in a quiet home.

With the celebration of MusicFest over, Plant Street figures to have less commotion this weekend. Then again, maybe not. In consideration of MusicFest and other events, officials at Crooked Can Brewing Co. at Plant Street Market decided Oct. 16 to 18 would be the best time for their inaugural celebration of Oktoberfest. Andy Sheeter, one of the founding members of the company, said cooler weather and a lesser chance of rain also were factors in picking this weekend. “Our Oktoberfest beer was released last week, and we’re probably going to have to take it off, because we’re just going through it real quick, especially with MusicFest,” Sheeter said. “We want to make sure we have plenty of that available for the Oktoberfest celebration.” Pumpkin ale and liter mugs will be among other special offerings during this event, he said. “And of course we’re going to have a tent out front with the street shut down and biergartens, so that’s going to be the first time we’ve done that,” Sheeter said. Tickets will be available and required for purchasing beer from the biergartens, but customers still can purchase beer inside by cash, with consideration for

reducing customer wait times, Sheeter said. For families who want to enjoy the event, puppet shows will occur twice per day on Saturday and Sunday, with a face-painter visiting on each of the three days, he said. Various arts and crafts activities also will be available. “Then at night, we’re going to have a big blow-up screen on the lawn that’s by the silo and play a kids’ movie,” Sheeter said. “I’m searching for a German-themed one, (but) it may have a Halloween theme.” Plant Street Market vendors will serve special foods, such as bratwurst and knockwurst by the Local Butcher and Market and schnitzel and burgers from Five Thymes Five, Sheeter said. Winter Garden Pizza Co. will be on hand with pizza, joining the Plant Street Market vendors in the tent near the beer garden, he said. Live entertainment will include Layla Brisbois (6 to 9 p.m. Friday; 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday), Scotty Long (11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday) and John Wyatt (3 to 6 p.m. Saturday), with polka playing at other times, Sheeter said. With all of these offerings, McSwagger the Crooked Can Guy has been champing at the bit. “From McSwagger’s point of view, I would say that it’s really McSwagger’s favorite time of year,” Sheeter said. “That’s when the fall releases of the beer come out, and so what better way than to come to the Crooked Can and celebrate these new beers with everybody under a beautiful setting?” Contact Zak Kerr at zkerr@wotimes.com.

n Keep things light. To minimize stress on the wrist and fingers, don’t press too hard. n Stay sharp. Colored pencils are nice because they allow for shading, but keep them sharpened to get into tight spaces in intricate designs. n Ink it in. If you prefer to use pens, try some that are not alcohol-based, because they tend to bleed. Ask for help at an art store to find the best pens for coloring. n Think outside the lines. There are no rules, so use what you like most, whether that’s glitter glue, Sharpies, charcoal, paint or any other medium.

Sandy Mayer, a librarian at Southwest Branch Library, thinks the trend started in France, when art stores and booksellers started offering adult coloring books that turned out to be even more popular than children’s coloring books. She and a few other Orange County librarians have collaborated to offer coloring hours for adults at a number of branches in recent months. During coloring hours at Southwest Branch, Mayer puts on soothing music and serves tea to foster a calming atmosphere. Many participants say that they

have started coloring because it can be so relaxing and it allows them to get creative even if they do not have much artistic experience. “You don’t have to think about anything for an hour,” said Lorie Robertson, who has attended a few of the programs at Southwest Branch. “No judging — just coloring.” Other participants say they enjoy the social aspect of coloring at the library. Amidst the discussion of books, pets and recent happenings, the artists tend to encourage and compliment one another’s artwork, as well. “It’s a nice, relaxing gettogether,” Robertson’s friend and neighbor, Martha Faeger, said. “It’s the conversation flowing around, as well as the actual coloring and concentrating.” Sarah Milam, a licensed art therapist who has an office in Ocoee, has noticed the adult coloring trend and agrees that it can be relaxing. Sometimes, she encourages her adult clients to use coloring books as a tool for meditation and concentration or to help them cope with stressful circumstances. But Milam said coloring might not be helpful for everyone. If someone is already a perfectionist, working on intricate pages could actually cause more anxiety. “I can see how it can be relaxing and helpful, and in that way, it is art as therapy,” she said. “The only way it wouldn’t be is if you’re going to get real anxious or real tense while you’re doing it because you’re so worried about staying inside the lines or really overanalyzing everything.”

You're vote means so much to me. I am committed to action & implementation of:

At the McDoom household, father Morris and mother Berlina often have to referee three very competitive — and athletic — sons in Gregory, Eddie and Matthew. “There’s always competition through them,” Berlina said. “Edward has always looked up to his older brother and then whatever his older brother has done, he has always tried to beat that. … (Gregory) helped get the school to the state finals (in soccer in 2013), so now that’s Eddie’s goal right now — he’s trying to get West Orange to state and trying to win.” The rivalry has a trickle-down effect. “(Eddie) kind of teases (Matthew), but in a good coaching way,” Berlina said. “He tries to coach him up so he knows, ‘OK, you’ve got to do better.’” Eddie volunteers and helps out the coaching staff of his brother’s youth football team with the West Orange Wildcats — a perk Matthew doesn’t seem to mind. “(Matthew) loves it, and he loves the attention he gets because his brother is there — especially after a big win on a Friday night,” Berlina said. But, teasing aside, Eddie is impressed with what his brother has brought to the table on the gridiron. “To be honest, when I was that young, I wasn’t that good,” Eddie said. “When he gets to West Orange and plays for the Warriors, (opponents) got some more McDoom coming their way.”

TAYLOR MORRISON LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN Homebuilder Taylor Morrison recently commenced its Keys to Success sales campaign, giving Florida Realtors the chance to ride in luxury every time they sell a Taylor Morrison home. To be eligible for the campaign, licensed Florida real-estate agents must sell at least one Central Florida home built by Taylor Morrison before June 30, 2016. The more homes they sell, the more entries — or “keys” — they receive for the year-end drawing to win a two-year lease for a car from Mercedes-Benz of North Orlando. To celebrate the start of the campaign, Taylor Morrison hosted a kick-off event at The Abbey, with more than 150 Realtors in attendance. Each Realtor who attended was rewarded with their first key to be entered in the drawing.

The Barcelona features more than 5,000 square feet of living area.

Trails key to Horizon West development

CR 535

SR 429

Proposed and Existing Schools Proposed and Existing Public Parks

Winter Garden Village

Stoneybrook West

Developers believe trails aid community and commerce through connectivity. STAFF WRITER HORIZON WEST

As the anchor of the Horizon West Town Center, the Hamlin development with State Road 429 to the west and Lake Hancock to the east will be critical to the connectivity of the Horizon West community, both internally among its several villages and externally among Winter Garden, Windermere and even eastern Lake County. Kevin Meredith, sales and marketing specialist for Boyd Development Corporation, which oversees the progression of Hamlin, said trails would be integral to that connectivity and a sense of community throughout southwest Orange County. “For the road projects that we do, the trails will coincide with the road construction,” Meredith said. “There’s already more than 24 miles of trail network in Horizon West, so there’s some gaps in that system that other developers and the county are starting to fill in.”

Boyd Development Corporation had begun building more than two miles of roads immediately after its purchase of the Hamlin property more than two years ago, he said. “As a part of those road projects, we built I think it was 10-foot-wide trails within the right-of-way there, connecting with the other trail systems out there,” he said. Existing Hamlin trails connect to the Independence community via New Independence Parkway and to Summerlake Boulevard’s trail via a southward Hamlin Groves Trail, Meredith said. “We’ve got another road project that we started construction on that will extend Hamlin Groves Trail north and east over to Tiny Road, and we’ll have a 10-footwide trail as a part of that, as well,” he said. With this connectivity come commercial traffic and a better feeling of safe passage for local residents and passersby, he said.

“When we look at our commercial areas that we’re starting to construct, we have a very keen interest in bringing the trail system into those commercial areas, so it’s easy for folks who live in the area and want to ride their bikes or walk up to the retail areas of Hamlin; that they can do that without having to cross any dangerous intersections,” Meredith said. “We want to make it very easy for folks to get across roadways and ride the trail or walk the trail or run the trail into some of the other commercial areas that we’re building.” For recreation, businesses and residents, this set of trails connecting to the West Orange Trail and others in the burgeoning Florida trails network should bring plenty of benefits. “It’s a pretty big asset for that part of the county, for sure,” Meredith said.

Twinwaters community off to hot start CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

That’s $6.5 million in sales in just two months — and without a model home on-site. Company officials believe the red-hot West Orange real-estate market, coupled with the new community’s idyllic location on the southern shores of Johns Lake off Marsh Road, has contributed to its early success. “Twinwaters offers the best of both outdoor recreation and city convenience,” said Polly Heard, Orlando marketing manager for Meritage. There is easy access to fishing and boating on Johns Lake, and for shopping and dining, Winter Garden Village is just three miles down the road. At buildout, Twinwaters will feature 140 oversized lots (18 lakefront), and homebuyers can choose from 10 different floor plans. The community also will have amenities such as a park, playground and community pool. Every home will have Energy Star appliances and other features to save energy and utility costs. “Every home we build helps showcase our commitment to providing incredible energyefficient homes that let you spend your money on better things than utility bills,” Heard said. Students living in Twinwaters will attend Whispering Oak Elementary, SunRidge Middle and West Orange High schools. Meritage has broken ground on a single-story Palermo model home in Twinwaters that is expected to be furnished and open for viewing by the end of

November. Two additional models will be built later in the fall. Homes in Twinwaters are available for pre-sale at John’s Lake Pointe, 564 Egret Place, Winter Garden. Hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday and Monday. Twinwaters is Meritage’s seventh project in West Orange County. The company also is offering homes in Enclave at John’s Lake Pointe (Winter Garden), Verde Park (Winter Garden), Watermark (Horizon West) Windermere Landing (Horizon West), Windermere Trails (Horizon West) and Parkside (Dr. Phillips). Contact Catherine Sinclair at csinclair@wotimes.com.
