A. Arden Park North Phase 4B Large Scale Preliminary & Final Subdivision
Plan (PSP/FSP); Project No: LS-2018-015. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on
Thursday, January 31, 2019) (City Planner Rumer) (6:40 pm)
City Planner Rumer explained the proposed project with a brief PowerPoint presentation. This
proposed project was originally approved by the City Commission on November 21, 2006, and
amended on February 19, 2013. Arden Park North consists of the northern phases (2-6) of the
PUD. Arden Park North is identified as Parcel ID Number 04-22-28-0000-00-001 (9421 Clarcona
Ocoee Road)located on the north side of Clarcona Ocoee Road and situated between Hobson Road
and Ingram Road.Arden Park North is approximately 308 acres of which 54.44 acres are identified
as wetlands/Lake Sims.
City Planner Rumer indicated the construction plans are not within their packet, but explained
Clarke Road will be widened to a four-lane road from Clarcona Ocoee Road north to the north
property line of Arden Park where it will return to a two-lane road north to McCormick Road.
Arden Park North Phase 4B includes 122 single-family lots. The subject site is currently
undeveloped with mainly planted pine trees. The Future Land Use Map designates the property as
"Low Density Residential," with an area around Lake Sims designated as
"Conservation/Floodplains." The Applicant has proposed an onsite mitigation program which
includes providing an enhancement plan for the wetland and floodplain areas around Lake Sims.
All streets in Arden Park North will be private, with the road network contained in tracts that will
be owned and maintained by the homeowner's association. The Arden Park North Phase 4B
PSP/FSP proposes a six(6) foot high cementitious (or precast)wall system with pedestrian access
and associated buffer plantings along the portions of the development that front Ingram Road.
Potable water and sewer services will be provided by Orange County. The City of Ocoee will
provide solid waste services, reclaimed water, police and fire protection. Finally, the Applicant
has requested no waivers from the Land Development Code for this project phase.

Development Review Committee(DRC)Recommendation:
The Development Review Committee (DRC)met on February 4, 2019, and reviewed the Preliminary/Final
Subdivision Plan for Arden Park North Phase 48. The DRC voted unanimously to recommend approval of
the Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan,subject to the resolution of any remaining staff comments.
Staff Recommendation:
Based on the recommendation of the DRC, Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommend approval of the Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan for Arden Park North Phase 48, subject to
resolving any remaining staff comments before the City Commission meeting.
Discussion:
Vice-Chair Williams inquired if there is mitigation needed. City Planner Rumer replied
mitigation was needed in Phase 4A, but not in this phase.
City Planner Rumer explained that the traffic trips within this plan are not new trips and have
already been accounted for within the concurrency transportation database of Arden Park as a
whole.
Member Wunderlich said he noticed that the streets within Arden Park will be private and asked
if this community will be a gated community to which City Planner Rumer answered
affirmatively. Member Wunderlich asked whether there will be a fence or wall around the
community. City Planner Rumer said originally the first builder contemplated walls; however,
when the new builder came on, they modified it with the City Commission's approval to a
precast/fence combination or a "living wall" with vegetation. Member Wunderlich inquired if
the HOA will be responsible for the retention ponds and open spaces to which City Planner
Rumer answered affirmatively.
Member Mellen asked where Clarke Road will be widening. City Planner Rumer explained the
developers for Oak Trail Reserve and Arden Park are responsible for the widening of Clarke Road
north of Clarcona Ocoee Road; however, Clarke Road will need to be scaled back from the four-
lane road to the two-lane road south of Clarcona Ocoee Road. Member Mellen asked if a right-
turn lane could be installed turning east onto Clarcona Ocoee Road from Clarke Road when the
widening is underway to which City Planner Rumer answered in the affirmative.
Chair Keller inquired if a school is needed with more upcoming developments like CLRM, can
OCPS consider utilizing Arden Park's parcel which they have subsequently denied. City Planner
Rumer explained currently all developments that come forward in Ocoee fail elementary and
middle school to which they are required to mitigate and pay by the desk. He announced they are
pushing for new schools, because all of the public schools in Ocoee have exceeded capacity and
the new charter schools have not impacted the numbers. Discussion ensued regarding the site
OCPS rejected from Arden Park; and further, Arden Park can now develop on this site.
