SUBJ: Orchard Park Phase 3,
Preliminary Subdivision Plan
Project# LS-2000-014
ISSUE:
Should the Mayor and City Commission recommend approval of the Orchard Park Phase 3
Preliminary Subdivision Plan (PSP)?
BACKGROUND:
The site is zoned R-IAA, and is proposed for 65 single-family residential units on
approximately 31 acres. The subject property is located south of Ocoee-Clarcona Road,
east of Clarke Road and west of the existing Sawmill neighborhood. Along the west
boundary of the project, the site abuts the Orchard Park phases 1 and 2 project, which is
currently under construction (previously known as Glenfinnan). To the south of the subject
site is the existing Prairie Lakes Subdivision, which will connect to Orchard Park Phase 3
via Grand Poplar Street.
The undeveloped tract abutting the north side of the subject site is the recently approved
Clarcona Crossings subdivision, which will eventually provide a connected roadway system
between Ocoee-Clarcona Road and Orchard Park Phase 3. The proposed minimum lot
size is 75 x 120 feet, consistent with the approved zoning for the site, and comparable to
the surrounding neighborhoods in the vicinity.
DISCUSSION:
The design of this project has incorporated protection of the 100-year flood elevation
adjacent to.Lake Addah. No development and no modifications are proposed within the
100-year flood plain. In addition, native tree plantings have been committed to be planted
along the tract boundary adjacent to the Lake Addah flood plain. The project has committed
to providing a small recreation area to serve the needs of this phase of development. The
earlier phase of Orchard Park (fka Glenfinnan) has also provided a park tract for
recreational use of the future residents.
