October 13,2020
A. Request for Variance — Pascall Property, 615 Roberts Rise Drive,
Project No: VR-20-01. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, October 1, 2020)
(Zoning Manager Gajadhar)
Zoning Manager Gajadhar explained the subject property is located at 615 Roberts Rise Drive,
south of Rewis Street and north of Silver Star Road. The Orange County Property Appraiser
Identification Number (PIN) is 17-22-28-7501-00-080. This lot is a corner lot with vacant,
undeveloped land behind it. The applicant is requesting a front side yard setback variance from the
required fifteen (15) foot to zero (0) feet to allow the construction of a six (6) foot high privacy
fence. The proposed fence would be located from the rear property boundary line running across
to the front side yard property boundary line.
He explained the Roberts Rise subdivision was recently awarded funds from the City of Ocoee
Neighborhood Matching Grants Program, formerly known as the Most Valuable Partnership
Awards (MVP). The funds were awarded to erect a solid fence within the City's right-of-way to
reduce foot and vehicular traffic access to the neighborhood from the adjacent vacant,undeveloped
lot, which is behind this applicant's lot. Approval of this variance request would allow a six (6)
foot fence to connect directly to the fence awarded from the grant in the right-of-way. He further
explained the neighbors on the other side of the road are requesting a variance to install a fence as
well that will abut the fence installed by the HOA.
According to Chapter 4-9 A., the variance application/applicant must demonstrate:
(1) That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land,
structures, or required subdivision improvements involved and which are not applicable to
other lands, structures, or required subdivision improvements.
No special conditions and circumstances exist, which are peculiar to the land or existing
structure, as indicated on the aerial and location map attached.
(2) That a literal interpretation of the provisions of these regulations would deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties with similar conditions.
The applicant is subject to the same regulations and rights as other properties with similar
conditions under the existing zoning designation and Land Developmental Code (LDC).
(3) That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant.
As a planned neighborhood consisting of 26 single-family homes, all special conditions and
circumstances were resolved prior to the City granting final site approval.There are no special
conditions and/or circumstances pertaining to the property.
(4) That the granting of the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by these regulations to other lands, structures, or required
subdivision improvements under similar conditions.
Granting a variance to the applicant will allow for other properties to apply for relief of the
required setback for privacy fences.The granting of this variance will confer special privileges
to the applicant that are not currently granted to other lands, structures,or required subdivision
improvements under similar conditions, as shown on the location and aerial maps.

Planning&Zoning Commission
October 13,2020
Development Review Committee (DRC) Recommendation: The DRC does not review variances.
Staff Recommendation: Based on the findings stated above and the requirements of the Ocoee
LDC, Article V, Chapter 5-4, Section I, staff is unable to support the variance request. Staff
recommends that any decision be conditioned on factual interpretation of code requirements and
public testimony related to such provisions, should the Planning and Zoning Commission make a
finding consistent to staff.
Discussion:
The applicant was present for questions.
Gemma Pascall, Applicant, 615 Roberts Rise Drive, explained the advantages of installing a
fence, which is to keep vehicles and pedestrians from entering their subdivision through the
adjacent vacant land.
Vice-Chair Lomneck inquired why the City objects to this. Zoning Manager Gajadhar
explained staff cannot recommend approval because it is not allowed per the Ocoee Land
Development Code, which requires a 15 foot setback on a corner lot.
Member Williams asked why the City did not require the HOA to get an easement to close the
gap on the properties. Development Services Director Rumer indicated a permit for an easement
cannot be applied for if they do not own the property. He further explained the grant in more detail
and indicated if there is an issue where the fence is requested to be removed within five years, the
City is obligated to pay to remove the fence. However, after that five-year period, the HOA will
be required to pay for the fence removal.
Vice-Chair Lomneck asked if a stipulation could be made that if the fence from the grant was
removed, this applicant's fence would need to be removed as well. Development Services
Director Rumer said the Board can make any stipulations they feel necessary.
Member Forges said he understands the variance stays with the property, but is concerned about
what would happen if this property is ever sold.
Chair Keller expressed concern about people walking around the new fence provided by the grant
and trespassing on this applicant's property and the neighbor's property across the street.
Therefore, maybe this variance would fall under a special exception due to a probable trespass
issue. He further stated he does not believe it would make sense to install the fence provided by
the grant with gaps on both sides when the property owners are willing to install adjoining fences.
He believes there is a solid reason to grant this variance.
Member Lomneck asked if the property on the other side of the road will be requesting a variance
as well. Zoning Manager Gajadhar said they have not submitted an application for a variance as
of yet, but the City is anticipating them doing so.
Discussion ensued regarding identifying special exceptions granted to properties which would be
done through recording the document with the Orange County Comptroller.

(6:50 pm)
Motion: Move that the Planning and Zoning Commission, acting as the Local Planning
Agency, recommend to the Ocoee City Commission Approval of the Request for
Variance — Pascal! Property, 615 Roberts Rise Drive, Project No: VR-20-01; and
further, place a condition that the approval matches the language of the
Neighborhood Matching Grant that was awarded to the Roberts Rise HOA; wherein,
if the fence must be removed within the first five years, the City would bear the
costs, based on factual interpretation of the code requirements, as presented by staff,
and public testimony related; Moved by Vice-Chair Lomneck, Seconded by Member
Mellen; motion passed unanimously.
B. Reserve at Lake Meadow Rezoning to Planned Unit Development (PUD)
and Large Scale Preliminary Subdivision Plan; Project Nos.: RZ-20-08-06
& LS-2020-012. (Advertised in the West Orange Times on Thursday, October 1, 2020) (Zoning
Manager Gajadhar)
Zoning Manager Gajadhar explained the subject property is located at 2149 Lauren Beth
Avenue, south of Clarcona Ocoee Road and west of Clarke Road. The subject property is
approximately 18.58 acres in size. The rezoning would be from"City of Ocoee"A-1 (Agriculture)
to "City of Ocoee" P.U.D (Planned Unit Development). The proposed use for this project is a 48-
unit single family home residential subdivision with 40-foot and 50-foot lot sizes. The proposed
zoning is consistent with the surrounding zoning, and the property does contain wetlands. The
proposed project will have access from the south via a public right-of-way connecting directly to
Lauren Beth Avenue. Two (2)tracts of land within the development will be dedicated as amenities
and a trail within the wetland buffer.
Development Review Committee (DRC) Recommendation: The DRC met on October 7, 2020,
and reviewed the Rezoning to PUD and Large-Scale Subdivision Plan for Reserve at Lake Meadow.
There was some discussion on water connection and right-of-way access to the project. When the
discussion was finished, the DRC voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Rezoning to
PUD and Large-Scale Subdivision Plan, subject to the resolution of the remaining staff comments.
Staff Recommendation: Based on the recommendation of the DRC, Staff respectfully
recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Rezoning to
PUD and Large-Scale Preliminary Subdivision Plan for the Reserve at Lake Meadow.
Discussion:
The applicant was present for questions.

Planning&Zoning Commission
October 13,2020
Chair Keller said he believes the entrance is too close to the intersection and explained a similar
issue with the Sawmill subdivision. He further inquired how wide the roads will be so that
emergency services will be able to drive through if there are two cars parked on each side of the
street. Zoning Manager Gajadhar explained the roads are 50 foot roads, but he will defer both
questions to the applicant.
Alternate Member Lowe asked who would be responsible if Lots 27 through 37 are flooded in
the chance that Lake Meadow's waterline increases, because there is only a two-foot difference
between the building pad and the current high waterline. Development Services Director Rumer
indicated where the single-family lots are proposed is 25-feet outside of the 100-year floodplain;
and further, he stated the City does not build lots in a flood zone.
Jonathan Huels, Esquire, Applicant, Lowndes, 215 N. Lake Eola Drive, thanked the
Commissioners and stated he does refer to staff's recommendations with some site issues that were
noted. He explained a lot of care and consideration was put into the site planning for this property
since it is a little tricky with the wetlands and floodplains within the area. He confirmed they will
not be encroaching into the 100-year floodplain; and further,the stormwater plans will be reviewed
by three different jurisdictions; the City of Ocoee, Orange County, and St. Johns River Water
Management District.
Member Williams asked if any outreach to surrounding property owners or communities for
concerns had been done. Mr. Huels said that was not required at this point; and further, this
proposed development is a similar use to the current surrounding homes.
Member Forges inquired if Lake Meadow is a spring-fed lake. Development Services Director
Rumer explained Lake Meadow and Spring Lake are closed-basin spring-fed lakes with no
outflow.
Member Lowe said the current map is a 2009 FEMA map, and asked whether there will be a
revised map sometime in the future.
Peter Pensa, AICP, Planner, Avid Group LLC, 2300 Curlew Road, Suite 201, Palm Harbor,
indicated they will be doing a map revision. Development Services Director Rumer explained •
because of the compensation, the area the developers create will be double in size.
Member Mellen said he believes the proposed lots are not consistent with the surrounding
communities, because their lots are bigger. Development Services Director Rumer indicated
those lots were not developed with any stormwater criteria.
Member Williams asked in what order do they retain the stormwater permits. Development
Services Director Rumer said the City has increased requirements above St. Johns;and therefore,
will not approve the plan until they have the approval from St. Johns. He further expressed
currently there has not been any determined issues with the lake where the City is conducting any
researching or doing any engineered work at this time.
(7:20 pm)
Chair Keller opened the public hearing.

Planning&Zoning Commission
October 13,2020
Chair Keller read an email submitted by William Volkert.
William Volkert(Telephone), 2201 Lauren Beth Avenue, Ocoee, indicated development is not the
issue;however,how the proposed new homes may affect the surrounding lands are. He said during
heavy rains Lauren Beth Road does flood. He further explained he recently bought this property
back in June, and the surveyor said at the time he was four feet away from the 100-year floodplain;
and since that time, the water has risen well beyond the four feet. At that time, five acres of his
land was under water, and the water has risen much more since that time.
Chair Keller read an email submitted by Rob Kramer, Lake Meadow Naturals, Ocoee.
Mr. Huels answered that Lake Meadow is a dynamic body of water, which fluctuates with the
weather. He explained they have had the land extensively surveyed to draw up the plans, and the
floodplain has been incorporated into the plan.
Member Lomneck asked how many acres are currently under water. Mr. Huels said that is a
dynamic question, because water fluctuates, and he would have to get it surveyed. Mr. Pensa
listed various requirements by different local districts, and explained they are required to retain all
water runoff onsite with zero cubic feet of discharge.
Member Lomneck shared his concerns regarding the sloping of the site for drainage in that it will
cause the water to flow to the surrounding properties. Mr. Pensa explained the models do factor
in water coming onto and off of the site. He said this is an area that the City has identified as having
typical downstream flooding, which means they have to provide retention so there is no adverse
impact on surrounding properties. Development Services Director Rumer explained the upland
buffer is 25 feet above the wetland line with a future trail that is proposed to go around the lake.
He said they are proposing 18 dwelling units per acre; and therefore, with seven-and-a-half acres
of wetland, the net buildable area is just over 11 acres.
Recording Clerk announced no further emails and/or telephone calls were received.
Chair Keller closed the public hearing.
Member Williams shared her concerns about this proposed development. She asked whether
fewer units could be built without making it unprofitable. Mr. Pensa said it is not feasible; and
further, 48 units is the minimum.
Alternate Member Lowe asked if his question was ever answered about who would be held
responsible if the proposed new homes were to ever get flooded. Development Services Director
Rumer said responsibility would fall under the licensed engineer and on the governing body that
was part of the inspection process.
Mr. Huels expressed the developers know that they have to design it in such a way that this site
stores stormwater and deals with any compensating floodplain storage issues on a two-to-one
basis.

Development Services Director Rumer stated the following is what this subdivision can provide
to this area: 1) more property values to the area, 2) upland buffer tracks for future trails, 3) lake
lots, 4) public roads. He feels this proposed subdivision would be an appropriate use with the
density.
Member Mellen asked what the lot sizes are for Arden Park North. Development Services
Director Rumer said Arden Park North has 35 to 85 foot lots, and Arden Park South has 55 to 85
foot lots. This proposed subdivision has 40 to 50 foot lots. Mr. Huels shared a PowerPoint
depicting the different sized lots in the vicinity, and stated this proposed subdivision is extremely
compatible with the subdivisions within the surround area.

Chair Keller and Vice-Chair Lomneck opposing.
Chair Keller explained he does not like where the location of the entrance is in conjunction with
the traffic light, and is worried there could be water drainage issues.
Member Forges asked the developer whether a traffic lane that merges onto the road at the
entrance would work. Mr. Huels said he is not sure they have the space to do that right now. Mr.
Pensa further explained the entrance.
