SUBJ: Orchard Park Phase 3
Final Subdivision Plan
Project# LS-2000-014
ISSUE:
Should the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Orchard Park Phase 3 Final
Subdivision Plan (FSP)?
BACKGROUND:
The site is zoned R-1AA, 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 Orchard Park Phases 1 and 2, which are currently
under construction. 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 has also provided a park tract for recreational use of the
future residents.
DRC RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee (DRC) met to review this project on August 7th. The
DRC voted unanimously to recommend approval of the project.
P&Z RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission met on August 14th to review this project. P8Z voted
unanimously to recommend approval of the project. Commissioners McKey and Golden
asked staff and the applicant to clarify some of the grading and tree preservation issues on
the site.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the recommendation of the Development Review Committee and Planning and
Zoning Commission, Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City
Commissioners approve the Final Subdivision Plan for Orchard Park Phase 3, as date
stamped received by the City on August 9, 2001.
