City Manager Ryan explained that the developers had spoken to
staff conceptually about their proJect and before they
proceeded they wanted input from the City Commission. Don
Tooley, 1412 W. Colonial Dr., Orlando, representing LeCesse
Development Corp., spoke to the Commission about the proJect.
The Commission had been presented with a copy of the site
plan. The proJect was located at the southeast corner of the
City and zoned R-3. Phase I would consist of 160 units
of one, two and three bedrooms. They were trying to save as
many trees as possible and asked if the commission would be
willing to give them relief on 27 of the parking spaces in
order to save trees. There were 147 Oaks, 52 Wild Cherry and
5 Pine trees located on the property and they planned to
save 106 Oak, 30 Wild Cherry and 3 Pine trees, plus they had
a replanting program for relocation of some of the smaller
trees on the site. They would also like any other comments
regarding the site plan. Mayor Ison explained that there
could be no action taken since this was only a workshop. Mr.
Tooley stated that he understood but wanted their comments
about the proJect.
City Planner Wagner explained that they were about 90%
complete with the engineering, etc., and at this point they
wanted to know the Commission's ~eeling on trading parking
places in order to save the trees.
Commissioner Dabbs questioned the total number of parking
spaces and Mr. Tooley said they had 360 parking spaces and
would be 27 lese i~ the Commission approved the trade.
Commissioner Hager asked how the 160 units were split and Mr.
Tooley said they had 40 - 1BR, 104 - 2BR (80 - 2BR/2BA, 24
2BR/1BA) and 16 - 3BR. Commissioner Bateman questioned the
drainage retention on the lake. City Planner Wagner said
there would be an environmental swale and the plan would be
redone so the water goes to the retention pond. The general
concensus of the Commission was in favor of saving trees.
