Winter Park Loses County Redistricting Fight
The city will remain in District 5 with the eastern rural stretch of Orange County represented by Commissioner Kelly Martinez Semrad
Oct. 15, 2025
By Gabrielle Russon
Winter Park lost its fight to move into one of the two newly-created county commission districts in a battle that largely pitted the needs of residents in the unincorporated and historically neglected area of Pine Hills against the more affluent city.
Winter Park Mayor Sheila DeCiccio and all four city commissioners attended the hours-long debate on Tuesday and lobbied the Orange County board, but it wasn’t enough to persuade the county leaders.
The County Commission voted 5-2 to adopt a new district map known as “Map 7B”, which leaves Winter Park, a city of about 30,000 residents, in District 5 with the rural eastern section of the county that runs all the way to the Brevard County line. The map breaks off Winter Park’s closest neighbor Maitland (population: 20,000) into the new District 7 with Eatonville (which also borders Winter Park with about 2,300 residents and is known as the nation’s oldest incorporated town founded by formerly enslaved people).
Kelly Martinez Semrad
Commissioners Christine Moore and Mayra Uribe cast the dissenting votes with Mayor Jerry Demings and commissioners Kelly Martinez Semrad, Mike Scott, Nicole Wilson and Maribel Gomez Cordero voting in favor.
DeCiccio, a persistent advocate for Winter Park during months of redistricting meetings, argued the city has little in common with the rural areas. She and the other Winter Park officials wanted to be redistricted into District 7 along with their urban neighbors who often work together on public projects.
But an equally loud group of residents pushed to keep the status quo and argued the more affluent Winter Park would dominate the bigger, predominately Black and Hispanic community of unincorporated Pine Hills, which will also be part of District 7.
“Combining these communities under Map-1A would dilute the voting strength of Pine Hills residents and undermine their ability to elect candidates to understand and advocate for their needs,” said Delmarie Alicea, who lives in unincorporated Orange County and is a voting rights attorney for LatinoJustice PRLDEF.
Most people who emailed Martinez Semrad, who represents District 5, supported keeping Winter Park in her district, according to a Winter Park Voice public records request.
The commissioner received more than 85 signed emails with messages that had identical templates and said they were written “on behalf of Orange County’s young people.”
“The differences between Map 1 and Map 7 largely center around the preferences of affluent communities like Winter Park and Maitland versus the equitable representation of all communities across Orange County,” their emails said.
Mayor Sheila DeCiccio is sworn in on April 10, 2024 alongside her husband and daughter.
The redistricting debate comes after voters approved a referendum last year to increase the number of districts from six to eight, opening up two new elected seats on the board that pay more than $120,000 a year. The Orange County mayor serves as the ninth seat and is elected countywide.
More than 70 people signed up to speak at Tuesday’s meeting, which ran more than two hours, before the final vote.
Conceding she was in the “hot seat” was Martinez Semrad, who ultimately voted in support of keeping Winter Park in her district instead of moving it to District 7.
Martinez Semrad, who lives in east Orange County, won in 2024 with the support of Winter Park voters. As an underdog, she beat the better-funded former Winter Park Mayor Steve Leary.
Even Winter Park City Commissioner Kris Cruzada acknowledged Tuesday she was in a tough position to decide if Winter Park should get cut from her district.
“Winter Park and Maitland want Map-1A. East Orange County wants Map-7B. Our district commissioner has to choose between supporting the 48,000 in Maitland and Winter Park or supporting the greater number of east Orange County where she lives,” Cruzada said during public comment. “I don’t envy the decision.”
Earlier this summer, Martinez Semrad said she supported Winter Park remaining in her district. After receiving an overwhelming response from the public, she later backtracked and said last month she was undecided.
She outlined her decision-making out loud before the vote Tuesday.
“There’s no map regardless of what District 5 picks that satisfies every community in District 5,” she said. “So being in a hot seat, I’m going to depend on what I think is one of my strengths and that is to let the data tell the story.”
Looking back at the 37-year history, the District 5 Commissioner has been represented by someone from Maitland or Winter Park 76% of the time. The only exceptions were Commissioner Emily Bonilla and then herself, Martinez Semrad said.
So she argued Winter Park has received fair representation on the county board.
Martinez Semrad said keeping Winter Park in District 5 made sense because the population is geographically balanced to where most people live centrally and the Econlockhatchee River serves as a natural boundary. District 5 also maintains an education corridor since the University of Central Florida, Rollins College and Full Sail University were all grouped together.
She also took issue with Winter Park’s claims it has nothing in common with the rural east. She argued the homeownership rates, property values and people’s reliance on cars for transportation “are similarities there,” she said.
Her desire to keep Winter Park in District 5 was also framed around making sure districts balance out the unincorporated areas since they are more dependent on the county for fire, police and other infrastructure needs than the cities are.
Martinez Semrad added, “It makes me a little sad that tonight we talk about who we want to be with and who we don’t want to be with because, after all, we are all Orange County citizens.”
Robert Whatley, president of the Christmas Civic Association, wrote his group supported keeping the status quo since it “gave us the best chance of maintaining our rural lifestyle going into the future.”
But Winter Park resident Phil Erwin wrote District 5 just didn’t make sense and Winter Park needed new representation.
“As a Winter Park resident, I have absolutely no knowledge of most of the area that District 5 encompasses,” Erwin wrote. “I rarely travel east of 436 and only drive through the eastern part of the district on my way to the coast. It is beyond my wildest imagination why the community I live in is bundled with such a vast territory of complete unfamiliarity.”

City's Share of 'Fix 426' will be $392,000
Winter Park will spend the money to slow traffic and improve pedestrian safety along the busy stretch of the state road that connects Winter Park to Oviedo
Oct. 14, 2025
By Beth Kassab
Winter Park taxpayers will spend about $392,000 for the city’s share of long-awaited pedestrian and traffic improvements to the 1.7-mile curvy stretch of S.R. 426 from Park Avenue to Lakemont Avenue that winds between Lake Osceola on the north and lakes Virginia, Mizell and Sylvan on the south.
The project started more than three years ago with pleas from residents to “Fix 426,” a main connector from Winter Park to Oviedo. State data shows the busy stretch of S.R. 426 averages six car crashes per month and more than 4,000 speed violations daily.
The City Commission last week unanimously approved spending $391,675 for its share of a larger road resurfacing project led by the Florida Department of Transportation, which is responsible for maintaining the state road.
Winter Park’s share is now far lower than an earlier estimate of nearly $2 million before the project was scaled down considerably and more negotiations took place, said Charles Ramdatt, Winter Park’s public works and transportation director.
“It’s a better deal than we had before,” he told commissioners.
The work will include adding raised crosswalks to slow traffic, upgraded traffic signals, pedestrian hybrid beacons or flashing signals that stop traffic for people to cross on foot and reconstruction of a gravity wall between Fletcher Place and Sylvan Drive.
The wall, which keeps the soil from a raised lot from spilling into the sidewalk and roadway, was the subject of lengthy discussions between the city, state and property owner as no one was clear on who originally constructed the wall.
The wall, which sits on FDOT’s right-of-way, was crumbling and FDOT constructed a temporary replacement. Ultimately, FDOT conceded it may have built the original and agreed to maintain the new wall going forward, Ramdatt said.
“I think this is going to be great,” said Mayor Sheila DeCiccio, though she conceded not everyone will be happy about the “speed bumps” or raised crosswalks. “It’s going to be great for traffic and pedestrians.”
No one from the public spoke on the matter before the vote, though there were multiple community meetings on the project in recent years.
The city made an initial financial commitment of $1.8 million in 2023, but the project has since been scaled back.
Due to maintenance challenges and complications, brick intersections, landscaped medians and bus stop pavement markings are no longer part of the plans.
An FDOT spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for the total cost of the project or when construction is slated to begin and end.

P&Z Board Approves Racquet Club Expansion with Multiple Conditions
The plans must still win approval from the City Commission
Oct. 9, 2025
By Beth Kassab
The Winter Park Racquet Club made it over the first hurdle this week toward an expansion in the neighborhood known as “the Vias,” one of the city’s poshest enclaves between Lake Maitland and Temple Drive.
In a 5-1 vote, the Planning & Zoning Board approved plans with three new conditions to tear down the white-columned two-story home at 2111 Via Tuscany and allow the private club to build a larger one-story building to house a fitness center, locker rooms, tennis shop and offices.

A crowd of neighbors — some who have planted red signs that say “Stop WPRC Commercial Expansion in our Neighborhood” in their front yards — attended to meeting to speak against the project with some comparing the tenor of the lights and activity at the club to a “Walmart” or “McDonald’s.”
Chairman Jason Johnson was the lone dissenting vote. Vashon Sarkisian, Charles Steinberg, David Bornstein, Alex Stringfellow and Michael Dick voted in favor. Bill Segal was absent.
Johnson said the changes appear as “commercial creep” in a residential area and said the term “sprawling campus” is “probably not an inaccurate description of what has happened with the club” that dates back to 1953.
“Is that to be expected?” Johnson asked. “Maybe, I guess? But this does sit in the middle of a residential neighborhood and at some point you’ve got to say I think it’s enough.”
A rendering shows what the new Winter Park Racquet Club building will look like at 2011 Via Tuscany. The white home pictured above will be torn down.
The project and conditions must ultimately be approved by the City Commission.
Planning & Zoning members added the following conditions:
- The circular driveway in front of the new building will be limited to 12-feet wide at the entry and exit points and 14 feet in the interior. That’s a reduction from the 20-foot driveway proposed by the club after neighbors and board members expressed concern the space would essentially serve as a parking lot. The club’s original proposal called for striped parking in front of the new building, but it revised those plans after hearing concerns last month.
- The club must conduct a photometric study or an analysis of the lights emitted by the club, including pickleball and tennis courts, to make sure it’s compliant and does not interfere with nearby homes.
- Play on the pickleball courts, which sit closest to Via Tuscany, must end at 8 p.m. instead of the current 9 p.m. cutoff.
City staff also called for additional conditions such as the driveway access on Via Tuscany be an entrance-only; the club can not increase its membership; hours of operation for the new building will be 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. for the new building; no new lighting can be added in the grass parking lot and the new paved section must use “low-scale bollard fixtures rather than traditional pole-mounted lights;” all non-safety required lights be off by 10 p.m. daily and the removal of two oak trees result in double the typical compensation.
The club’s general manager did not immediately return a call for comment on the new conditions.
Rob Carter, the club’s volunteer president, said at the meeting that the club serves mostly Winter Park families, many who live in the neighborhood and walk or bike there. The home that will be torn down, he said, is outdated and will be replaced with a “safer one” that is compatible with the neighborhood and will not increase the intensity of the club’s operations.
“I do take some offense to the idea that we’re not trying to be a good neighbor,” he told the board, emphasizing that he incorporated residents’ feedback into the latest proposal and has offered to meet with people who live nearby and have concerns.
Demolition on Isle of Sicily
The P&Z board also approved plans by owners Kamran and Mina Khosravani for a new 10,400-square-foot home at 3 Isle of Sicily, meaning the current house originally built by famed local architect James Gamble Rogers II will be torn down.
The original home known as Four Winds dates to 1930 and sat at just 1,800-square-foot in the French provincial style. But the home had been altered significantly over the years and Jack Rogers, an architect and son of Gamble Rogers, said the damage to its integrity and history had been done long ago.

The project was approved unanimously by the board with little discussion and no public comment.
Over the years the number of Gambles Rogers homes in Winter Park has dwindled from about 50 to 15 or 20, Rogers said.

Upcoming Demolitions: At Racquet Club, a Gamble Rogers House and Park Ave Apartments
Two city advisory boards will consider the three projects this week
Oct. 7, 2025
By Beth Kassab
One of Winter Park’s most exclusive hang-outs wants permission to demolish a 5,400-square-foot two-story building at the front of its property and build a larger one-story structure to house a fitness center, locker rooms, tennis shop and offices.
The Planning & Zoning Board will consider the proposal Tuesday evening by the Winter Park Racquet Club, a private club that dates back to the early 1950s on Lake Maitland that offers swimming, dining, pickleball and tennis with initiation fees that run upwards of $22,500, according to one document that advertised a job posting there.
The changes at 2111 Via Tuscany have drawn criticism from neighbors on the residential street who say they are worried about commercial-like development, traffic and noise. As a result, the proposal has gone through revisions since the concept was tabled at the Sept. 2 Planning & Zoning Board meeting.
“The style will add cohesion to the rest of the club buildings, including the original clubhouse which was designed by [local architect James] Gamble Rogers,” read a description submitted by the club. “It will also mimic the aesthetics of neighboring homes, and the intent is for people driving by to assume that it is a residence that has been here all along.”
Residents expressed concerns about the disruptions to be caused by construction, light pollution, parking and other issues, according the minutes of a neighborhood meeting.
“I am extremely concerned that this project continues to seek to convert this house into a commercial multi-use facility,” Marci Greenberg, who lives across the street, wrote to the city, one of a number of emails received about the project. “With the new plans, there will still be a significant increase in traffic, parking in front of the building (as the new circular drive is 20 ft wide which is as wide as Via Tuscany) and an increase in noise. The current house, as such, contributes to the character and ambiance of the neighborhood. The proposed building looks commercial and detracts from our residential neighborhood.”
A sign in the neighborhood near the Racquet Club opposes changes there.
The club manager did not return a call for comment, but documents say the club is on a “membership waitlist” and is not accepting new members, meaning the project is not intended to allow any growth or expansion of services.
In response to concerns, the club has removed from the plans new parking that was to be added in front of the building and replaced it with a circular driveway.
City staff is also requesting other conditions such as the hours of operation remain the same, no new lighting be added and most exterior lights (other than for safety purposes) be turned off by 10 p.m.
Noise issues are also being addressed, according to the staff report.
“[The club] is proposing a six-foot acoustic sound barrier behind the eight-foot podocarpus hedge in front along Via Tuscany to screen the parking and buffer the noise concerns raised by the neighborhood,” it said. “This sound barrier will be the same barrier used to buffer the pickleball courts that is designed to reduce noise levels in outdoor settings and is made of a dense, soundproofing composite, and unlike a solid and rigid concrete wall, it both blocks and absorbs sounds more effectively.”
Another Gamble Rogers House Likely Gone
Not far from the Racquet Club is a secluded peninsula that stretches into Lake Maitland from its eastern shore called the Isle of Sicily — one of the city’s richest streets. James Gamble Rogers II, who also designed the racquet club, constructed the first home on the isle about 1930, an 1,800-square-foot French provincial home known as Four Winds that the famed architect lived in with his family until 1949.
Now the house at 3 Isle of Sicily is likely to be torn down as part of a plan to builder a larger home on the property.

Over the years, the house was renovated extensively and now sits at more than 7,000-square feet.
Owners Kamran and Mina Khosravani, who acquired the property in 2011, are looking to build a new home that will top 10,400 square feet.
The home is not on the city’s historic register so the owners don’t need permission to demolish it, but will ask the P&Z Board today for approval of the new lakefront construction.

Jack Rogers, architect and son of Gamble Rogers, said he’s sorry to see the house come down, but it hasn’t looked like the original in decades.
“Unfortunately, the damage was done 50 or more years ago,” Rogers said. “The original house is completely gone.”
His father, who is also known for the Florida State Supreme Court Building in Tallahassee and the Olin Library on the Rollins College Campus, built about 50 houses in Winter Park, he said. His papers and plans are preserved at the Winter Park Library.
“There’s probably 15 or 20 left and eight or 10 are absolutely precious and we seem to be losing them at the rate of one or two a year,” Rogers said. “We still have several wonderful examples.”
Park Ave Apartments Face Demo for Townhomes and Synagogue
The apartment buildings dating back to 1922 known as El Cortez could be demolished to make way for new townhomes and a new synagogue if the Historic Preservation Board approves a proposal up for consideration on Wednesday.
The board tabled the request at its Sept. 10 meeting in order to see if the developer could save one of the three buildings at 210 E. Morse Blvd. that are part of the Interlachen Avenue Historic District. The property is also the last R-4 zoned land just off Park Avenue that has yet to be redeveloped.
The El Cortez Apartments along Morse Boulevard.
The city discourages demolition of so-called “contributing structures” to historic districts such as El Cortez, but does approve knock-downs when preservation isn’t feasible.
The property owner and applicant for the project, a company called El Cortez LTD and managed by AGPM founder Scott Zimmerman, said the buildings represent a “frame vernacular style,” but have been significantly altered over time with no original exterior materials or features remaining.
The new development would create townhomes on Morse and a synagogue along Knowles Avenue. Staff received 32 letters in support of the project and one against, according to documents related to the meeting.
In the 1920s the building were constructed as upscale apartments amid growing demand for more housing in downtown Winter Park and near Rollins College. Over the years, a number of notable people lived there, according to National Register of Historic Places documents, such as “physician Benjamin Hart; Christopher Honaas, director of the Rollins College Conservatory of Music; Flora Magoun, secretary to the Conservatory; Margaret Windau, district director of the Florida Welfare Board; Helen Drinker, proprietress of a women’s fashion shop on Park Avenue North; and William Stein, a Romance Languages professor at Rollins College of Jewish descent who had recently immigrated from Austria to avoid Nazi persecution.”
Rogers said his dad told him he also stayed at El Cortez while Windsong, the Isle of Sicily property also likely set for demolition, was being constructed.
City staff is recommending approval of the project with the following conditions: A historic marker be placed there to commemorate the historical significance of the property and that the demolition not occur until the owner has a building permit from the city to ensure development plans don’t change between the time of the tear-down and new construction.
New Historic Survey Considered
The Historic Preservation Board will also on Wednesday consider a contract with Orlando-based KMF Architects for $75,000 to survey the city’s historic assets.
The proposal calls for updating the 2001 and 2013 surveys and will include an evaluation of Mid-Century Modern architecture (1950s-1970s), a era that hasn’t previously been surveyed citywide.
The work on Mid-Century Modern work will include a focus on Orwin Manor “to support the city’s consideration of a potential historic district designation.”
Four historic districts already exist in Winter Park — Downtown, College Quarter, Virginia Heights East and Interlachen Avenue — and those will be evaluated to determine if any non-contributing buildings now meet criteria for contributing status.
The survey will update records and remove properties on previous surveys that have since been demolished to produce a detailed report with photos that is both “informative and user-friendly,” according to the architects’ proposal.

City Budget Passes with Last-Minute Changes
A makeover for a Howell Branch retention pond and adjustments to the cost of Farmer’s Market tables and cemetery plots were added just before the vote
Sept. 24, 2025
By Beth Kassab
City Commissioners passed a $233 million budget that will take effect next month with a few minor changes to parks and recreation fees and a set aside of $250,000 from the contingency fund to redo an eyesore retention pond project near Howell Branch Preserve.
The budget, which holds the line on property taxes, includes higher electric rates and fee increases for a variety of city services from after-school programs to golf rounds. Commissioners opted to cut the proposed fee increases on two items: The cost paid by vendors at the Farmer’s Market and plots at the Pineywood and Palm cemeteries.
The current vendor cost for the Winter Park Farmer’s Market is $120 to $150 per month. The Parks & Recreation Advisory Board recommended raising it to $145 to $180 per month to bring fees more in line with two other popular regional markets in Winter Garden and at Lake Eola, which charge up to $200 a month.
But commissioners decided to go with a recommendation from city staff for a slightly lower increase to $130 to $160 a month.
Commissioners also decided to stick with a staff recommendation for smaller increases at Pineywood and Palm cemeteries.
Plots at Pineywood will go from $2,900 to $3,090 while plots at Palm will go from $5,800 to $6,090.
There are 549 spaces available at Palm and 621 spaces available at Pineywood.
A new columbarium is being added at Palm to replace the existing maintenance facility on the fourth hole of the Winter Park Nine, which will add several hundred new niches for cremated remains. A new columbarium, which opened in 2024 at Pineywood, still has 580 spaces available. The niches at both cemeteries are rising in cost from $2,625 for residents to $2,760.
Annual revenue from the cemeteries topped $700,000 in 2025 and is about $650,000 so far this year.
Commissioner Warren Lindsey also moved to mark $250,000 from the city’s contingency fund for a makeover of a retention pond at Howell Branch Road and Via Tuscany.
The project is contingent on a private $400,000 donation.
Steve Goldman, chairman of the Winter Park Land Trust, said the group is willing to make the donation as a first step toward beautifying the property and, eventually, connecting it to nearby Howell Branch Preserve Park. (Full disclosure: Goldman is a key funder of the Voice. Editorial decisions are made independently and not on the basis of donor support.)
He said the idea is to move the pond farther away from the road and reshape it so that it no longer requires a chain link fence for safety reasons. The design would call for more greenspace and also the replacement of a large concrete weir that the group considers an eyesore.
“We would like to see sufficient space between the pond and the road and also move the sidewalk farther from the road so it’s not so dangerous,” said Goldman, who lives nearby. “It’s getting rid of an eyesore basically and making it a more beautiful pond and park.”
Commissioner Warren Lindsey moved to add the project back to the budget after the commission was left with more contingency funds as a result of a 7% increase in the non-fuel portion of electric bills.
“It is a very civic and wonderful thing they have agreed to do as conservationists and helping with the park and stormwater issues at the same time,” Lindsey said of the private donation from the land trust.
Commissioner Marty Sullivan, who is set to leave office next year, had long championed finding a solution for the property and said he was pleased the donation combined with city funds could finally kick-off the project.

How Today's City Commission Meeting Will Hit Your Wallet
Winter Park is poised to raise fees for everything from a round of golf to after-school programs along with a portion of your power bill
Sept. 24, 2025
By Beth Kassab
Winter Park Commissioners are set to vote Wednesday afternoon on the city’s $230 million budget, which includes an electric rate increase — though lower bills for the time being — and higher prices for everything from cemetary plots, off-duty police, rounds of golf and after-school programs.
The new fee schedule, which is slated to be adopted today along with a second and final vote on the 2026 budget, will take effect Oct. 1.
Some examples:
- Fire department detail for special events (with at least 10 days notice): From $47 per hour (for a minimum of three hours) to $60 an hour.
- Off-duty police officer (with at least seven days advance notice): From $57 per hour to $58 (with a four hour minimum); holiday pay for off-duty officers will move from $82 to $83 per hour.
- Fees for adult sports teams fees will jump from $500 for flag football and softball to $550.
- Youth after-school programs will increase from $50 to $55 monthly for residents and from $90 to $100 for non-residents.
- A single resident space at Palm Cemetery will jump from $5,800 to $6,950.
- Greens fees at the Winter Park Nine for residents on Friday through Sunday will increase from $22 to $26. Electric cart rental will go from $12 to $14 and from $10 to $12 for seniors.
- Rental of the Winter Park Events Center on a Saturday will change from $5,50 to $5,775.
The city’s budget proposal discussed how slower growth forecast in the economy means “adding new services and projects will only be possible in the context of the growth rate of traditional revenue sources such as the millage rate, fees and customer rates.”
The document even went so far as to make clear that fees for services have already become a critical piece of the budget as City Commissions have decided against raising the millage rate (which determines how much residents and businesses pay in property taxes, which make up the largest portion of the city’s general fund). And how future increases are likely:
“As the second largest component of the general fund at 20%, and as one of the few revenue sources that the city has direct control over, charges for services is likely to increase over time as fees and prices for activities and services will have to continue to be raised to support operations. In many municipal circles this is being called the pay-to-play form of providing services to residents and businesses and will only be more crucial if property tax revenue growth rates begin to slow.”
A portion of resident’s electric rates will also climb in October, though total bills will decrease.
That’s because the electric bill includes multiple fees, charges and taxes with some going up and one going down.
The non-fuel portion of electric rates based on how much each customer uses will increase by about 7%. That equates to a monthly jump from $91.46 to $98.26 for a home using 1,300 kwh, according to an estimate provided by the city.
But the charges customers pay for fuel (mostly natural gas in Winter Park) are going down from $49.20 to $29.61, resulting in a lower monthly bill.
Fuel charges, however, are variable and could rise again.
