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.

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.

Mr. Swickerath moved to recommend that Commission accept preliminary plans

ment. City Building Official Thomas pointed out that there were also pages of

Mr. Swickerath withdrew his motion as premature. After further discussion which
revealed that those pages were reinforcing the original pages already discussed,
