Development Services Director Rumer explained the process of this Preliminary Subdivision
Plan. The subject property is located south of E. McCormick Road and west of N. Apopka
Vineland Road with the Parcel ID Numbers: 33-21-28-0000-00-007, 33-21-28-0000-00-020 &
34-21-28-0000-00-022, and is approximately 212.3 acres in size. On November 5, 2019 the City
Commission approved the Annexation, Land Use Plan and Rezoning for this project, which
changed the Large-Scale Future Land Use Map amendment from "Orange County" Rural to
"City of Ocoee" Low-Density Residential. The Future Land Use designation for the subject site
is "Low-Density Residential" which allows up to four (4) dwelling units per acre.
This is a planned residential subdivision that proposes a total of 377 single-family residential lots
with a requested density of 2.21 units per acre. There are three (3) lot sizes proposed within the
Preliminary Subdivision Plan and approved by the PUD: 40' x 120', 50' x 120', and 60' x 120'.
The PUD has a minimum living area set at 1,200 square feet, and the development is to be
developed in four (4) phases. The setback for the subdivision will be a front setback of 15 feet,
side setback of 5 feet, a rear setback of 20 feet, and a side street setback of 10 feet. The
subdivision will comprise of 60.29 acres of open space, 5.86 acres of park tracts, a 9.68 acres
lake, and 23.12 acres in stormwater retention. The internal streets (50' wide) will be dedicated as
public right-of-way to be owned and maintained by the City of Ocoee.
As shown on the plans, the subject subdivision will have two (2) access points on McCormick
Road, which is an Orange County Maintained Road. A 30-foot-wide strip of land adjacent to

McCormick Road will be dedicated to Orange County for a future trail extension. The Plan
provides for significant buffering along McCormick Road with a decorative three (3) rail fence.
Amenity areas, including a pool and cabana, are provided. Potable water and sewer will be
provided by Orange County. A lift station is required to be provided and will be owned and
maintained by Orange County.
Development Review Committee (DRC) Recommendation: The Development Review
Committee (DRC) met on July 9, 2020, and reviewed the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for the
CLRM — McCormick Road Property PUD. When the discussion was finished, the DRC voted to
recommend approval of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommend approval of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for the CLRM — McCormick Road
Property PUD.
Discussion:
The applicant was present for questions.
Member Mellen indicated he noticed the one home that is front-to-back, and he does not want to
see another fence variance because of this circumstance. Development Services Director
Rumer indicated maybe at the final site plan the developer can install a fence so there would be
no disputes.
Member Forges inquired what "CLRM" stands for and whether that will be the name of this
community. Development Services Director Rumer said the name of the community has not
been disclosed yet, but it is not CLRM.
Member Lowe asked how wide the interior streets are going to be, because a lot of homeowners
have more than two vehicles, and the vehicles end up being parked in the street. Development
Services Director Rumer indicated the interior streets are public, which are 50-foot-wide, but
every home will have a two-car garage.
Chair Keller inquired about the connection to the West Orange Trail. Development Services
Director Rumer indicated currently there is not planned a trail connection in the vicinity of the
open space on the south side of this project. However, the HOA may in the future request a
sidewalk connection on the south. Chair Keller said he is concerned about the entrance not
lining up with Damon Road. He stated lining them up together with a traffic signal would be
best.
David Kelly, P.E., C.F.M., Applicant, Poulos & Bennett, LLC, explained the spacing between
traffic signals is 1,320 feet, and he believes there is not enough spacing to be able to line them up
for a traffic signal. Discussion on the entrance and traffic lights ensued.
(7:10 pm)
Chair Keller opened the public hearing.

Joseph Hardiman emailed asking for more information on the West Orange Trail expansion.
Development Services Director Rumer explained it is not an expansion of the trail, but a
McCormick connector to the trail. There is a planned trail running down McCormick Road from
the west, near the SR 429, heading to Apopka Vineland Road.
Development Services Director Rumer further discussed two calls that he received today about
this project. The questions referenced the traffic signal funding commitment, which will be a
condition of approval within the plan.
Recording Clerk announced no further emails and/or telephone calls were received.
The public hearing was closed.
