PRELIMINARY REVIEW /DISCUSSION - Re- Submission of Olympia Cove PUD City Planner Wagner gave background on Olympia Cove PUD since it had come before the P &Z Board previously and was originally a mixed -use development -- single family and multi family development around Lake Olympic. He stated that the project had gone to the City Commission and has approved with some changes made to the plan including a reduction in density. Prior to the City Commission adopting the PUD zoning on the site, the owners were contacted by another developer who had different ideas for the site. The plan re- submitted for review represents a more conventional single family detached layout for most of the site. Large single family lots to the south and 60' x 110' lots to the north. Mr. Wagner went on to explain that there were representatives of the developer present to explain the proposal, and that this project was on the agenda primarily to give the P &Z Board an overview since the Planning staff had not had the plans long enough to prepare a report to the Board. Tom Trainer, Principal, Bowyer - Singleton and Associates, 520 S. Magnolia, Orlando, FL 32801 was recognized. He indicated that his firm was working with Pulte Homes on Lake Olympia. Also present was John Freeman, President of Pulte Homes, Pedro Zergne, Vice President of Land Development, and Larry Hughes, Director of Planning. Mr. Trainer said the developer was working on the cost and sales price needed to come up with a premimum home. There rr would be no zero lot line units, only exclusive single family homes with all 75' lot sizes. There would be three villages with homes costing a minimum $110,000 to $125,000. Square footage would range from 1700 to 2100 sq. ft. with a minimum of 1200 sq. ft. Mr. Trainer indicated that the developer wishes to present this concept for review by P &Z with the hope of appearing before the City Council on April 5, 1988. Mr. Trainer went on to identify the two specific areas that the new plan differs from the old: 1.) Montgomery Road and 2.) Walls, Landscaping, and Berms. 1.) Montgomery Road - The developer would like to extend Montgomery Road south of Silver Star that would end in a cul de sac with a reservation to make a future connection to another cul de sac that would come from the south to service this village. In essence, Montgomery Road would serve as a local subdivision road with lots fronting on it. 2.) Walls, Landscaping, and Berms - Developer requests that no walls or berms be required along Silver Star Road or Montgomery Road. Due to the slope on Silver Star, and the local street status of Montgomery Road. After Mr. Trainer's presentation, the Board Members discussed several issues. This included elevation differences between the lake and Montgomery Road where it would cross, the circulation system into each village, and the fronting of lots onto Montgomery Road. Planning Board Members indicated it was their understanding that Montgomery Road was planned to go from Silver Star Road to Hwy. 50. Subdivisions have already been planned to back up to Montgomery Road without direct access, and this plan will most likely continue. It was also determined that some form of buffering, walls or landscaping or both, would be necessary along Silver Star Road and Montgomery Road. Additional discussion centered on drainage considerations, sewer and water services to the site and larger lot sizes proposed by the developer. After the discussion, Mr. Trainer asked for a summary of the Planning Commission's recommendations: A. Change of lot size would be acceptable. B. Need more than one entrance to the project. C. No driveways onto Montgomery Road -- Montgomery a collector street. D. Home Owners Association should be mandatory. E. Some type of buffer would be required along Montgomery Road. F. There should be a sidewalk along Silver Star Road. G. A low screen wall along Silver Star Road should be provided. Vice - Commissioner Smith suggested the developer get together with the City Planner and staff, and come back with something for a later Planning and Zoning Board Meeting. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT SCHEDULE FOR 1988 City Planner Wagner passed out the new schedule and stated that it was the same one that was discussed during the Joint Meeting. He suggested that the P &Z Board make note of the Public Hearing Meeting Scheduled. NEW BUSINESS ANNEXATION PETITION OF E.H. CROW, JR. AND ANN B. CROW - CASE NO. 04A -88 The representative for the petitioner, Mr. Dave Outlaw, 1101 N. Lake Destiny Drive, Suite 130, Maitland, FL., indicated that the petitioner also intended to submit a Comprehensive Plan Amendment change to residential and a rezoning change to R -1 -A Single Family. City Planner Wagner indicated that even though this property might be taken by the Expressway Authority as part of their interchange, this petition should be processed in the regular manner. City Planner Wagner suggested to the Board that they take the case under advisement until the April 12, 1988 meeting to permit the petition to track with all of the other annexations in process. Mr. Smith moved to approve Mr. Wagner's recommendation, and Mrs. Bond seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. REZONING PETITION OF SANDERS ROOFING AND SHEETMETAL - CASE NO. 02R -88 City Planner Wagner spoke regarding rezoning of this property as no one was present to represent the petitioner. He indicated that Mr. Sanders was requesting rezoning from R -1 Single Family Dwelling District to C -3 General Commercial District to expand his sheetmetal business to the south. The current Comprehensive Plan shows the area as COMMERCIAL land use. The new plan shows it as LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. In either case, the use is consistent. Staff recommended that the parcel be rezoned from R -1 Single Family Dwelling District to C -3 General Commercial District. Mr. Weeks moved for approval and Mr. Switzer seconded and the motion Sr carried unanimously. REZONING PETITION OF CRAWFORD TIRE COMPANY - CASE NO. 03R -88 City Planner Wagner went over the rezoning petition for Mr. Crawford. He stated that Mr. Crawford presently operates a retail tire and repair business immediately south of and contiguous to the subject site. A one -story residence is located on the site which is currently zoned R -1 Single Family Dwelling District. The site is located along a heavily traveled State Highway (439). Predominant land uses north, south, and east of the site are commercial and light industrial. The current underlying Comprehensive Plan land use classification is COMMERCIAL. Mr. Wagner further indicated that the intent of the petitioner was to redevelop the property for expansion of his tire business. Such re -use of the property for commercial /light industrial use is consistent with the intents of the land use plan and more appropriately matches the character of this area than the current residential usage. The staff recommended that the parcel be rezoned from R -1 Single Family Dwelling District to C -3 General Commercial District. Mr. Switzer moved for approval and Mr. Breeze seconded and the motion was carried unanimously. CONCEPTUAL REVIEW OF ZONING - CANDLEWOOD SHORES City Planner Wagner provided background information on the project. He indicated that the developer has immediate plans to construct single family detached residences on the site utilizing City of Ocoee R -1 -A zoning requirements, if approved. Since no City zoning is currently designated for this tract, he said "the developer would need to go through the normal Plan Amendment and Rezoning procedure." Since underlying Orange County zoning on the east 3/4 of the site is presently R -1 -A, the developer is seeking permission to initially develop approximately 30 lots utilizing the County zoning. The remainder of the tract would presumably be developed under City of Ocoee R -1 -A zoning regulations, once approved. He stated that the initial lots would be a minimum of 75 ft. width, 110 ft. depth, and have an area of 8250 sq ft. Additionally, the developer would voluntarily restrict minimum house size to 1200 sq. ft. as per City requirements vs. the 950 sq. ft. minimum permitted under County zoning. Mr. Wagner further stated that initiation of the project would serve to expedite construction of a portion of Clark Road, help complete the paving of Johio Shores Road, and finish the looping of the water main along Johio Shores Road. All development ‘1110. reviews would follow normal City of Ocoee Subdivision procedures. Mr. Atwood, the developer, told the P &Z members that the lots around the lake would be larger, higher priced lots with restrictions on dwelling size of 1400 sq. ft. or above. After some further discussion, the P &Z Board indicated that it had no objections to this project going before the City Commission, and that R -1 -A Single Family Zoning would be favorably considered upon formal review. GENERAL COMMENTS Mr. Wagner told the P &Z members that the City Commission had authorized hiring another planner, and that the Planning Department was now located in the basement of City Hall.
