SUMMARY:Split Oak Subcommittee of the Orange County Charter Review Committee
DESCRIPTION:Please attend and support a resolution to tell the Orange County BCC to not talk any action on Split Oak Forest until Split Oak goes to the voters on November 2020.

and \nWHEREAS\, SOFWEA is a community conservation park created to protect vital habitat for the Gopher Tortoises and is currently also serving as a mitigation bank to offset wetlands\, uplands\, and endangered species impacts from both private and public entities including the Orange County Convention Center; and \nWHEREAS\, a total of 1049.26 acres of the entire SOFWEA property are in Orange County and 639.74 acres in Osceola County; and \nWHEREAS\, SOFWEA has a rich variety of habitats that support a diversity of plant and animal species\, is a designated Orange County Green PLACE sites and is part of the Priority 1 Kissimmee-St Johns-Ocala Critical Linkage as identified by the University of Florida Geo Plan Center and the Florida Wildlife Corridor\, connected to four other Orange County Parks: Eagle's Roost\, Moss Park\, Crosby Island Marsh Preserve\, and Isle of Pine Preserve; and \nWHEREAS\, SOFWEA is a part of the Florida National Scenic Trail and has a marked trail system and is used for recreational by hikers\, nature observers and photographers; and \nWHEREAS\, prescribed fire is the primary management tool for the area and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has put a great deal of effort and public money into properly managing SOFWEA’s fire-dependent ecosystems and previous populations of invasive species; and \nWHEREAS\, SOFWEA has hydrological importance given its confluence with adjacent and nearby lakes and the area also conserves important watershed and water quality attributes; and \nWHEREAS\, SOFWEA is a recipient site for over 100 Gopher Tortoises and several of the past and proposed Gopher Tortoise relocation areas would be impacted by the construction of the currently proposed route of the Osceola Parkway Extension; and \nWHEREAS\, any proposed Central Florida Expressway Eastern Extension proposed route would permanently alter and degrade the entirety of SOFWEA and would negatively impact existing threatened and endangered species\, including Gopher Tortoise\, Florida Scrub-Jay\, Eastern Indigo Snake\, Giant Orchid\, Yellow Butterwort\, Many-Flowered Grass Pink\, Garberia\, Florida Joint tail grass\, and Byssus Skipper populations; and \nWHEREAS\, it is the intention of Orange County that the entirety of SOFWEA remain in public ownership as conservation land and an Orange County Green Place open for passive recreation; and \nWHEREAS\, Orange County entered jointly with Osceola County into a Grant Award Agreement on March 29\, 1994 to create SOFWEA and committed hold these lands in conservation for perpetuity; and \nWHEREAS\, Orange County would be required to consent to the alteration or destruction of any portion of SOFWEA; and \nWHEREAS\, Article X Section 18 of the Florida Constitution specifies that land held by any entity of the state for conservation purposes may not be disposed of unless it is no longer needed for conservation purposes; and \nWHEREAS\, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has determined that all portions of SOFWEA “remain integral to the continued conservation of important fish and wildlife resources;” and \nWHEREAS\, a major highway through SOFWEA would destroy the important function this community conservation park was designed to provide; and \nWHEREAS\, the 2020 Orange County Charter Review Commission has received substantial input from Orange County residents pointing to clear popular support for establishing stronger protections for SOFWEA; and \nWHEREAS\, after careful consideration\, the 2020 CRC Split Oak subcommittee has recommended the inclusion of an amendment to the Orange County charter to strengthen and expand existing protections for SOFWEA\, giving Orange County voters the possibility to express themselves about SOFWEA in the upcoming 2020 General election. \nNOW\, THEREFORE\, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE 2020 CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION OF ORANGE COUNTY\, FLORIDA: \nThe 2020 Orange County Charter Review Commission opposes the Orange County Board of County Commissioners taking any action on location of an expressway through any portion of the Split Oak Forest Wildlife and Environmental Area prior to the outcome of the popular vote on the Split Oak Charter Amendment at the general election\, November 3\, 2020. \nTHIS RESOLUTION ADOPTED after motion\, second and majority vote favoring the same\, this day of February\, 2020. \nORANGE COUNTY\, FLORIDA\nBy: 2020 Orange County Charter Review Commission \nBy:___________________________\nChair\n2020 Orange County Charter Review Commission

SUMMARY:MAJOR Orange County BCC Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Orange County has before it a resolution to submit the application to FCT to remove Split Oak's protections. Please attend!\nThe road is the Osceola Parkway Extension that's going from the Airport to the 417 to Narcoossee Road to the not-yet-developed Deseret Ranch.\nThis road would not only directly destroy the 60 acres that the road would take up\, if would make another 100 acres un-burnable and reduce the likelihood that any of the Osceola County portion of Split Oak and much of the Orange County portion could still be burned. \nsign up to speak ahead of time on Discussion Agenda Item C

SUMMARY:CFX Public Meeting in Poinciana
DESCRIPTION:This is the second-to-last night of the last round of CFX Public Meetings to continue the Osceola Parkway Extension on to PD&E. This is the closest meeting to residents in South Kissimmee\, Poinciana\, Loughman\, and Intercession City.\n\n\n \n\n\nOnly one alignment in this public presentation avoids Split Oak (East 6) but it unnecessarily takes homes in Lake Ajay Village. The road could avoid both Split Oak and Lake Ajay Village with a much larger buffer\, like in the E-1 alignment proposed by the Osceola County Expressway Authority. For a more detailed analysis\, please see our blog post.\n\n\n \n\n\nThis is very important for nearby residents to attend and submit written comments.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe event photo shows the entrance to the meeting location - new community center for the Association of Poinciana Villages on Marigold.\n\n\n\n \n\n\nIf you can't make it and you're a snail mail person\, print and send this (https://friendsofsplitoak.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Comment-form-generic-CFX-Concept-Studies-012318-vF.pdf) comment form to:\n\n\n \n\n\nMary Brooks\, Public Information Coordinator\n\n\nQuest Corporation of America\n\n\n2431 Aloma Avenue\, Suite 231\n\n\nWinter Park\, FL 32792\n\n\n \n\n\nIf you're more of an email person\, then email Mary Brooks @ conceptstudies@cfxway.com. Title your email including 'CFX public meeting comments for Osceola Parkway Extension' and put at least your name and city in the email body\, along with your comments.

SUMMARY:CFX Public Meeting in Lake Nona
DESCRIPTION:This is the second night of the last round of CFX Public Meetings before the CFX Board votes to continue the Osceola Parkway Extension on to PD&E. This is the closest meeting to residents in South Orlando\, Narcoossee\, and Lake Nona.\n \nOnly one alignment in this public presentation avoids Split Oak (East 6) but it unnecessarily takes homes in Lake Ajay Village. The road could avoid both Split Oak and Lake Ajay Village with a much larger buffer\, like in the E-1 alignment proposed by the Osceola County Expressway Authority. For a more detailed analysis\, please see our blog post.\n \nThis road would connect the airport to the 417 and the 417 to Narcoossee Road/SR-15. The part of the road that would go through Split Oak and disturb Lake Ajay Village (the Eastern Extension) is not necessary to improve regional connectivity and is being considered only to benefit a single landowner and developer. The Eastern Extension would only increase congestion in the area by enabling suburban sprawl to continue to the east. \nThis is very important for nearby residents and concerned citizens to attend and submit written comments. \nThe event photo shows a drone shot of the kickoff location - Saint Cloud High School. Follow the signs to the cafeteria. \nIf you can't make it and you're a snail mail person\, print and send this (https://friendsofsplitoak.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Comment-form-generic-CFX-Concept-Studies-012318-vF.pdf) comment form to: \nMary Brooks\, Public Information Coordinator\nQuest Corporation of America\n2431 Aloma Avenue\, Suite 231\nWinter Park\, FL 32792 \nIf you're more of an email person\, then email Mary Brooks @ conceptstudies@cfxway.com.
