7. Approval of Traffic Calming Speed Tables for Ridgefield Avenue and Wanda
Street. (Public Works Director Krug)
The Commission approved the installation of traffic calming devices on Kimball Dr. & Marlene Dr. at

Ave., including Wanda St., had not secured the required number of property owner approvals. The
required approvals have now been received by Public Works and they are requesting the Commission
approve the installation of traffic calming on these two streets. Due to the horizontal geometry of
Ridgefield Ave., Wanda St. requires a speed table also in order to reduce the Center St. cut-through
traffic.

The subject property is located within the Downtown Redevelopment Area. The objective of the
Downtown Redevelopment Area is to attract reinvestment in the downtown area. The proposed
development schemes should include visual landmarks and public areas; quality pedestrian areas;
mixed and multi-uses, including retail, general commercial, restaurants, various forms of residential
uses, and professional offices and services. The subject parcel is vacant but the applicant has
undertaken site work to establish a stabilized parking area. A fence consisting of wood and wrought
iron has been placed around its perimeter. The applicant owns the parcel to the west and has recently
remodeled it. The applicant intends to combine both properties and rent out a portion of the remodeled
office as an insurance office and use the remaining space and property for short term vehicle storage.

the Orlando Sentinel Legal Classified on Thursday, November 8, 2007) (Principal Planner
Fabre)
The Meadow Ridge PUD is located at the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Maguire Road and
Moore Road. The residential portion of the PUD consists of 152 single-family lots. The City
Commission, on March 7, 2006, reviewed and approved the Final Subdivision Plan for the residential
portion of Meadow Ridge PUD. After construction started, the ~qme builder noticed that due to their
home product design and the size of the lots, the addition of a typical size swimming pool would
exceed the maximum 50 percent impervious surface development standard for the PUD. Accordingly,
the applicant has requested an increase of the maximum allowable impervious area for certain
residential lots.
