GOO' CITY MANAGER ELLIS SHAPIRO STAFF REPORT DATE: September 30, 1999 TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Robert Lewis, AICP, Principal Planner SUBJECT: Villages of West Oak Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan Project#LS-99-005 ISSUE: Should.the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan for the Villages of West Oak? BACKGROUND: The Villages of West Oak subdivision will include a total of 33 single family residential lots, located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Clarke,Road and White Road. The subject property is part of the Lake Lotta Center DRI/PUD,thus its zoning is PUD. The PUD indicated that this property and the property west of Clarke Road and south of White Road would be developed with single family homes. The property surrounding the proposed subdivision has A- .1 and R-1-A zoning (north - church and SF homes), PUD zoning (west - vacant; and south - West Oaks Mall), and Orange County Agricultural zoning (east - vacant). The property to the east has pending applications for annexation and PUD zoning in the City. The subject property is currently vacant with a mixture of trees, including a significant number of oak trees. DISCUSSION: The Villages of West Oak subdivision will have one point of access from White Road. Access to the adjacent property to the east will also be provided at this location to allow that property to have joint access to White 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 White Road. There is currently a 6 foot brick wall along the entire southern boundary adjacent to the West Oaks Mall.

However, these small lots are consistent with the PUD Land Use Plan for the Lake Lotta Center PUD. The minimum living area will be 1,200 sf. The recreation area for the project is located just inside the entrance adjacent to one of the retention ponds. It will include a tot lot, picnic tables, benches and an open play area, all to be owned and maintained by the Home Owners Association. The sanitary sewer lift station at the west end of the cul-de-sac will serve this subdivision and another proposed small subdivision to be developed on the adjacent property to the east. The lift station will be owned and maintained by the City. The Conditions of Approval for the Villages of West Oak subdivision are listed on Sheet 11 of the plan set.
