Chairman Swickerath then introduced new members appointed by City Commission, Mrs. Pat Bello and Mr. Harold Switzer, and he also advised that every member must vote on every issue or announce reason for abstaining from voting. PRESENT: Chairman Swickerath; Board Members Bello, Cook, Linebarier, Sanders, Switzer; City Planner Wagner and City Building Official Hurst. ABSENT: Board Member Smith and Alternate Member Bond. APPROVALS Mr. Linebarier moved to approve the minutes of the meeting held September 9, 1986. Mr. Sanders seconded and the motion carried unanimously. PROPOSED ANNEXATION - GREGORY P. SAMANO Mr. Wagner pointed out the 37.1 acre parcel which is at the west end of Hackney Prairie Rd, fronting on Hackney Prairie Rd and Prairie Lk Rd, lying NW of the existing Forest Oaks subdivision and Prairie Lk PUD, which Gregory P. Samano is petitioning to annex. Mr. Wagner explained that he antici- pates no problem with the county as the property is conti- guous and compact and is within the City's planning reserve area. He further explained that the parcel would be served by the Forest Oaks water plant and that although there is no sanitary sewer service available at this time, when Prairie Lk PUD is developed, the sewer plant serving that area would be adequate to serve this development with the addition of a high speed pump. Mr. Wagner advised also that Hackney Prai- rie Rd is unpaved and that matter should be addressed eventually. Mr. Tracy Lovett, 1 Prelude Place, Suite 122, Winter Park, 32792, representing Mr. Samano, explained that they have no development plans for the property and that their interest in the property is solely as an investment. The annexation will contribute to the salability of the parcel to a developer and it was their understanding that the City desires annexation of the parcel. Mr. Linebarier pointed out that the paving of Hackney Prairie Rd would be a required part of any development of that area. Mr. Lane Lovett, Mr. Tracy Lovett's father and of that same address, advised that the annexation request is being made at this time because annexation and zoning were both %by prerequisites of developing the property and they both could not be treated at the same time. 1 Page 2 Sow P & Z Meeting October 28, 1986 Mr. Linebarier moved to recommend to Commission approval of the petition to annex. Mrs. Cook seconded the motion and vote was unanimously in favor. PRELIMINARY MASTER PLAN APPROVAL - PRAIRIE LAKE PUD Mr. Wagner explained that the developer has changed the scope of the development since the last meeting and has complied with many of the requirements. Mr. Warren Williams, with Bower, Williams & Airth, P.A., 28 W. Central Ave., P.O. Box 1215, Orlando, 32802, explained that he has been an attorney in real estate in this area for 20 years and an effort has been made to benefit the City as well as the developer in the proposed PUD plans. He stated that it was necessary to lop off the top 100 acres of the original plan in order to make the project feasible and reduce some of the road costs. Mr. Williams requested that this Board recommend approval of the plans subject to the conditions included in a document provided members, and he then asked Mr. Scott Henderson to speak. Mr. Scott Henderson, with Glatting Lopez Kircher Anglin, 33 E. Pine St., Orlando 32801, showed the amendments to this, original plan which were made in an effort to comply with the Development Review Committee's recommendations. Mr. Henderson advised that it was necessary to remove the top 100 acres of the project from the plan as the requirement to 4- lane Clark Rd and connect with Ocoee - Clarcona Rd made the project too costly. That portion of the property is being sold, and Clark Rd has been realigned to provide for its future extension. The density has been reduced from 1248 to 935 in Tracts D & E to balance the site development intensities with the amount of road improvements. A secondary access road has been added connecting with A D Mims Rd as requested, and negotiations have been successful with an adiacent land owner to provide access easements for emergency vehicles from this project to an existing city street. They are expecting to maintain their fair share of the Hackney Prairie Rd to extend it to Apopka- Vineland Rd. Mr. Henderson feels that one of the significant contributions this project will be making to the city is the development of 100' dedicated right -of -way for Clark Rd where they will be making both 2 and 4 -lane improvements within that right -of -way, as well as intersection improvements at A D Mims Rd /Apopka- Vineland Rd and A D Mims Rd /Clark Rd. Mr. Henderson further explained that the development will be in three phases. Phase 1 will be Tract A & B at net density of 9 and 10 units per acre respectively, and tract C tiro containing 40,000 sq.ft of commercial. This phase also 2 Page 3 P & Z Meeting October 28, 1986 includes: (1) 4- laning Clark Rd up to Street A intersection and then tapering down to 2 -lane to the boundary of Phase 2, (2) improvements to Clark Rd /A D Mims Rd intersection including traffic signal crossings for the railroad and turn lanes on A D Mims Rd, (3) improvements to A D Mims Rd /Apopka- Vineland Rd intersection. Phase 2 involves Tracts D and E and the density has been reduced from 480 to 368 units. Clark Rd will be 2 -laned to the north boundary of the tract and Hackney Prairie Rd will be 2 -laved to the east boundary. Phase 3 will be the remaining 80,000 sq.ft. of the commercial development. Mr. Henderson stated that, as it has been determined by staff that the paving of Hackney Prairie Rd should be a shared expense with each of the four developers contributing 25 %, they will, when they extend Clark Rd up to the north boundary to develop Tract B, pave Hackney Prairie Rd from Clark Rd over to their eastern boundary as a 2 -lane facility. If that does not equal the 25% which is their share they will put the rest of the money in escrow for the City to use to finish off Hackney Prairie Rd. Mr. Henderson also said that another important question which needs to be resolved is whether it is necessary, as staff has requested, for Hackney 'yam, Prairie Rd to be paved before beginning the development. Such requirement places the developer in the position to have to acquire private property east of their property line. There followed a rather lengthy discussion regarding the above statements during which Mr. Wagner advised that there were several items which had not yet been resolved and which probably would have to go to Commission for final negotiation. Mr. Sanders moved to recommend that Commission require that Hackney Prairie Rd be paved by the developer to their property line and if that does not equal 25% of paving from Clark Rd to Apopka - Vineland Rd that the balance due be put in escrow toward additional paving required. Mrs. Cook seconded the motion and vote was divided as follows: Mrs. Cook, Mr. Sanders and Mr. Switzer, Yea; Mrs. Bello and Mr. Linebarier, Nay. Motion carried by majority vote. Mrs. Cook moved to recommend that Commission accept developer's proposal regarding 4- laning Clark Rd to Street A and tapering to 2- laning at boundary of Phase 2, including 2- laning Hackney Prairie Rd to the east boundary. Mrs. Bello seconded the motion and vote was unanimously in favor. Mr. Linebarier moved to recommend that Commission approve ootr" developer's request for 40,000 sq.ft. commercial area for Phase 1 and 80,000 additional sq.ft. at end of Phase 2 for a 3 Page 4 lihre P & Z Meeting October 28, 1986 total of 120,000 sq.ft. commercial area. Mr. Sanders seconded the motion and vote was unanimously in favor. Mrs. Cook moved to recommend Commission approve Preliminary Master Plan for Prairie Lakes P.U.D. subject to specific responses to the report. Mr. Sanders seconded the motion and vote was unanimously in favor. COMMENTS Mr. Wagner advised that both the assistant planner and the city engineer will be on board in 3 or 4 weeks, that he has been very busy and he expects more of these projects to be forthcoming. He will soon have a schedule for next year prepared. Mr. Wagner stated that the City has added 20% more land area and now is 7 square miles with a population of 11,138, which makes us the 3rd largest city in Orange County. Mr. Wagner also reported that funding for studies has not been determined yet so impact fees are not available. Mr. Linebarier moved to request that Commission make an interim ordinance for impact fees. Mr. Switzer seconded the motion and vote was unanimously in favor. %ow Chairman Swickerath expressed appreciation to Mr. Wagner for his preparation of the agenda items. Following a discussion regarding the expressway extension possibilities Mr. Wagner requested that the clerk send a copy of the City's response to the expressway authorities to board members.
