ITEM A- SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE DELAYED UNTIL LATER IN MEETING STRICKER ANNEXATION -JOHIO SHORES /A.D. MIMS ROAD Mr. Bruce Stricker pointed out Parcels 10 and 11 touching Johio Shores Road and A.D. Mims Road which he has requested in petition to be annexed. This property is contiguous to city across Johio Shores Road, and the annexation has been conceptually approved by City Commission. Chairman Breeze advised Mr. Stricker that the county two year moratorium on zoning change after annexation is subject to waiver if requested by city but request is not guaranteed to be honored. There were no staff comments regarding the annexa- tion and City Manager Griffin noted that he had received one objection to the annexation from a resident in the single family homes north of the property. Mr. Smith moved to recommend that Commission annex and request that county waive moratorium on zoning change. Mr. Brooklyn seconded and vote was unanimous in favor. Mr. Stricker will be requesting a zoning change from A to R2. JOHNS- REZONING PROPERTY ON ADAIR STREET Mr. Wade Bradford, Winter Garden, representing Mr. Johns, advised that the county has waived the moratorium on the recently annexed Adair Street property and requested R2 zoning. Mr. Bradford advised that the minimum lot size will be 1 4 acre which will make it adaptable to septic tanks and will have city water service. At Chairman Breeze's request, Mr. Bradford pointed out the property on the zoning map, indicating that the land immediately north of the parcel is vacant land not in the city. Just north of that vacant parcel is an apartment complex zoned R3 and just south of the property is Foxfire which is zoned R1. Consensus was that the R2 zoning would be good transition from high density to low density in that area. Mr. Swickerath moved to recommend approval of the request to rezone to R2. Mr. Brooklyn seconded and vote was unanimous in favor. L PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING APRIL 9, 1985 PAGE 2 ROBERTS RISE Mr. Art Miller, A.R. Miller Engineering, and Frank Courtney, Developer, were present to meet with board. Mr. Miller pointed out the property on the map on the northwest corner of Stark Lake which is presently R1AA zoning. Their proposal includes 1 acre lots, septic tanks and city water service. This is identified further as the old Rewis property. City Manager Ken Griffin advised that the plan as presented satisfies recommenda- tions previously made by staff and that they are ready to recommend that the board move ahead with the process. Chairman Breeze pointed out that a portion of Center Street was abandoned by the city several years ago and the right -of -way was absorbed into private property, and as a result of that action some adjustment may be needed in the streets as planned. Mr. Swickerath asked why staff did not want cul -de -sacs and City Manager Griffin responded that two access routes were desirable. There was then discussion re- garding soil suitability for septic tanks, that there would be a need for extra lanes for traffic and sidewalks. Mr. Courtney has agreed to put in sidewalks on the developer's side of Silver Star Road. Mr. Smith pointed out that 75' lots are very narrow for R1AA zoning. Mr. Brooklyn moved to recommend approval of the preliminary plans as presented with no exceptions. Mr. Swickerath seconded and vote was unanimous in favor. HARBOUR HIGHLANDS II Plans for Harbour Highlands II were presented to board by Mr. Julian, who explained that Commission had redesigned his original plans during formal session and had then approved the streets and lots as redesigned. This plan has been redrawn to conform with their requests. No petition for zoning has been filed as yet because county has not yet waived the moratorium for rezoning. City Manager Griffin advised that city attorney said that as long as we do not issue final plan approval and plat approval it is all right to review preliminary plans. Mr. Swickerath asked about the subdivision regulations approval date and whether these plans would be affected upon their adoption. Mr. Walter Kuhrt, Engineer for Mr. Julian, advised that in Orange County the final plans are approved according to the regulations that were in effect at the time of the preliminary plan approval. There was discussion regarding paving of all or part of Chicago Avenue. Staff requests that all of Chicago be paved. Mr. Julian stated that Commission has requested that the portion from the cul -de -sac to the park be paved. Chairman Breeze said that the change in the plans that should be considered at this time is the positioning of the cul -de -sac and the entrance. Mr. Swickerath felt that the board should deal with this presentation consistent with the intent of the anticipated subdivision requirements. Mr. Julian objected as this project has been in the planning and before the board since October, 1984. City Engineer Tom Kelly explained that Mr. Julian has altered his plans several times already to incorporate suggestions from Commission attempting to achieve a more direct access to the city park. Mr. Smith requested 26' streets be a part of the requirements. Discussion of staff requests followed, with Mr. Julian and Mr. Kuhrt confirming that they agreed with most of the recommendations. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING - APRIL 9, 1985 PAGE 3 HARBOUR HIGHLANDS II (CONTINUED) Mr. Swickerath moved to recommend that Commission accept preliminary plans for Harbour Highlands II subject to provisions and notes from planning depart- ment. City Building Official Thomas pointed out that there were also pages of recommendations from other departments i.e. fire, water, police, city engineer. Mr. Swickerath withdrew his motion as premature. After further discussion which revealed that those pages were reinforcing the original pages already discussed, Mr. Swickerath moved to recommend that Commission accept preliminary plans for Harbour Highlands II as presented subject to staff recommendations with the exception of:Item 11 regarding paving Jackson Street Item 13 regarding deceleration /turn lanes (not necessary) and providing for the addition of a small retention pond in city park to handle run off from paving of dirt road on south side of property as recommended in Bldg.
