There are several vacant parcels in the Southern Neighborhood District. New homes have been constructed on previously vacant lots on the northwest corner of Bridle Path and N. Winter Park Dr. On the southwest corner, a vacant residential lot adjoins a vacant commercial lot under the same ownership located just south of the study area boundary (approximately 15,600 square feet). The City owns one parcel exceeding 9,000 square feet on Bluebell Dr. Adjacent to the southern boundary of the study area the City owns approximately 0.84 acres of land east of N. Winter Park Dr. extending to the intersection with Seminola Blvd. A portion of Figure 10 Children playing on quiet side sheets this public land near Seminola Blvd. is occupied by landscaping, a public bench, and City signage.

Winter Park Drive Trail proposed in the Connecting Casselberry t plan (Map 13). Based on review of the Seminole County Property Appraiser map data, there are also areas of un -used land that appear to be in the public right-of-way. The N. Winter Park Dr. right-of-way extends beyond the back of the sidewalk up to 10 feet, primarily on the east side of the roadway as far north as Cross St; the available width and the location of excess right-of-way varies over the length of the corridor. There is a large area (approximately 4,000 sq. ft.) at the southeast corner of the intersection of 7`" St. and N. Winter Park Dr. (Figure 11) which has the potential to be used for community signage, right-of-way reconfiguration or other public purposes. Figure 11 Excess Right-of-way at N.
