STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 14, 2000
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Robert Lewis, AICP, Principal Planner �1
THROUGH: Russ Wagner, AICP, Director of Planning
SUBJECT: Glenfinnan Subdivision
Final Subdivision Plan
Project# LS-99-010
ISSUE:
Should the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Final Subdivision Plan for the
Glenfinnan Subdivision?
BACKGROUND:
The Glenfinnan Subdivision will include a total of 76 single family residential lots, located at the
southeast corner of the intersection of Clarke Road and Clarcona-Ocoee Road. The subject
property is zoned R-1-AA, which provides for minimum 75 foot wide / 9,000 square foot lots,
with a minimum living area of 1,400 sf. The property surrounding the proposed subdivision has
Orange County A-1 zoning (north, east and west - mostly vacant pasture land) and R-1-A
zoning (south - SF homes). The subject property is approximately 31.6 acres and is currently
vacant with a mixture of trees. The Preliminary Subdivision Plan and a Development
Agreement were approved in February 2000.
DISCUSSION:
The Glenfinnan Subdivision will have one primary point of access from Clarke Road. The plan
also provides two points for future access to the adjacent properties to the east, to allow those
properties to have indirect access to Clarke Road through this subdivision. There will be a 6
foot brick wall with appropriate landscaping along the entire western and northern boundaries of
the subdivision adjacent to Clarke Road and Clarcona-Ocoee Road. Water and sewer utilities
for the subdivision will be provided by Orange County since it is not within the City's utility
service area.
A unique feature of this subdivision is that it involves a land swap with the City. The land
currently occupied by the existing retention pond on the property (owned by the City) will be
swapped with a parcel of land on Clarcona-Ocoee Road and some additional right-of-way for
Clarke Road. The existing retention pond will be eliminated and the stormwater retention
relocated to a new pond which will be owned and maintained by the homeowners association.

The Development Agreement formalizing these arrangements was approved along with the
Preliminary Subdivision Plan. A waiver allowing a 20' pavement width on two small cul-de-
sacs, rather than the usual 24' minimum pavement width, was also approved with the
Preliminary Subdivision Plan.
The Final Subdivision Plan for the Glenfinnan Subdivision was reviewed by the Development
Review Committee (DRC) on June 7, 2000. The Committee voted unanimously to recommend
approval of the Final Subdivision Plan, subject to two conditions: 1) Providing a cost estimate
for turn lane improvements on Clarke Road prior to review of the plan by the City Commission
(Condition of Approval # 32); and 2) Revising the buffer wall design to match the Prairie Lake
Village buffer wall when the permit for construction of the wall is issued.
PLANNING &ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the Final Subdivision Plan for the Glenfinnan
Subdivision on June 13, 2000. During the discussion, Staff and the applicant responded to
various questions from the Commission, primarily related to cross connections between
subdivisions and landscaping around retention ponds. When the discussion was finished, the
Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Final
Subdivision Plan for the Glenfinnan Subdivision, date stamped received by the City on June 9,
2000, subject to the two conditions recommended by the DRC, in accordance with the staff
recommendation, with two additional conditions as follows: 1) Upgrade the shrubs to be
planted between the entrance road and Retention Pond 2 from 3 gallon shrubs to 7 gallon
shrubs; and 2) provide additional landscaping (minimum 7 gallon) at the rear of the recreation
area near Retention Pond 2 to provide a more park-like setting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the recommendations of the DRC and the Planning and Zoning Commission, Staff
respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Final
Subdivision Plan for the Glenfinnan Subdivision, as date stamped received by the City
on June 9, 2000, subject to the two conditions recommended by the DRC and the two
additional conditions recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

SUBJECT: Glenfinnan Subdivision
Final Subdivision Plan
Turn Lane Cost Estimate
June 20, 2000 City Commission Meeting - Agenda Item III(F)
The Staff has recommended approval of the Final Subdivision Plan for the Glenfinnan
Subdivision subject to certain conditions recommended by the Development Review Committee
(DRC) and the Planning and Zoning Commission. The first condition from the DRC read as
follows: Provide a cost estimate for turn lane improvements on Clarke Road prior to review of
the plan by the City Commission (Condition of Approval#32).
When the Staff Report was prepared and Agenda packages distributed on June 14, that figure
had not yet been provided. However, on June 15, the Developer provided a letter to Jim Shira,
City Engineer, which included a figure of $18,695 as a cost estimate for the improvements. Jim
Shira has confirmed that this figure is acceptable. Therefore, that condition in the DRC
recommendation has been satisfied. This cost estimate will be placed on the Final Subdivision
Plan approved by the City Commission. All of the other recommended conditions listed will be
addressed during the construction of the subdivision.
