STAFF REPORTS
Joint Planning Area Agreement
Acting City Planner, Holly Myers began by commenting on the Joint
Planning Area Agreement, stating that the Town of Windermere
asked to extend its Urban Reserve Area boundaries northward. The
extension of the Joint Planning area would include the Belmere
property (formerly Whitney Lake Planned Development). Myers
continued to state that the City of Ocoee might want to extend
its Joint Planning Area Agreement south to meet those boundaries
and the same time take in the Plantation Grove PUD.
City Staff wanted the Planning & Zoning Commissioners to make a
recommendation on whether to proceed with the request. The
boundary would be south of Gotha Road on the east side of Maguire
Road and to the Belmere property on the west side of Maguire.
Swickerath questioned whether Belmere property owners would have
the opportunity to request annexation into the City. Myers
stated that Belmere is requesting zoning. There is a question
whether the City would require them to annex if they become
contiguous to the City because we are giving them sewer services.
Linebarier commented that it would only make since that if
Windermere won't go further north with their Urban Reserve Area
then why not extend Ocoee south to meet Windermere and east to
the Turnpike and cover the whole area and be done with it.
Swickerath asked if the City had any input or recourse with the
Belmere property. Are we going to review subdivision standards?
Are they going to implement when they develop that area? Myers
stated that it is a good idea if you're giving services to an
area to have them under your jurisdiction. Swickerath stated
that it also is a good idea to be involved in the planning of
those areas that are under your jurisdictions.
Switzer commented that he felt that the City would have a
rebuttal on its hands with this move. Switzer stated several
concerns he had heard from the public, and referred to news
1

articles referencing a number of annexations and financial
problems of the City. Swickerath stated that maybe Ocoee would
have a revolt, and maybe they won't recommend the commission
extend the planning boundary. Staff requested direction for the
Commission: This request was considered a good idea by the
Planning & Zoning Board and was for it 5 to 1. Switzer was
against it.
Land Use Plan Designation
Myers distributed to the Board two pages of land use plan
definitions and development prototypes. Myers stated that these
were provided in response to requests by the commission at the
July 12th meeting. Chairman Swickerath wanted to know where the
definitions on density and intensity came from. Myers stated
they came from general Planning Standards. The development
prototypes were from the Orlando Growth Management Plan.
Lake Lotta P.U.D. - Rezone Case No. 14R -88
Holly Myers, Acting City Planner handed out to the Board Members
a new Staff Report of August 9, 1988 and requested during this
workshop that the listed recommendations be discussed. Also, any
item from the August 27, 1986 DRC report might be questioned.
Myers stated that the developer had not had adequate time to
respond to staff comments. Myers wanted to informally cover the
issues and make any comments they felt necessary. Mr. Steve
Fieldman was present along with Bob Londeree the planner on the
Lake Lotta project. Mr. Fieldman stated that after reviewing
the items that most were acceptable and that he was aware of
those items. He asked for Myers to comment on a few of the
comments. Mr. Fieldman commented that some items he would like
to discuss and others he would like to put into a developers
agreement. He was concerned with the idea that the zoning would
be approved subject to these recommendations.
Harold Switzer questioned Mr. Fieldman whether they were approved
for a PUD in Orange County. Fieldman stated yes they were,
except that the PUD in the County was all residential. The PUD
the developer is requesting is residential on the north and
commercial on the south. Switzer asked how many dwelling units
had been approved in the County; didn't the S.R. 50 corridor
study by the county limit you to a certain number? Fieldman
stated that the PUD was in affect before the corridor study.
Switzer felt the study limited the dwelling units to 1,069.
Fieldman answered, "I don't know, but the Route 50 corridor study
was done significantly after this was done ". Switzer stated,
`, "And didn't they also say where Clark Road intersected Route 50
where you propose 14.8 acres of commercial that it should be
limited to 10 acres ?" Switzer stated that he believed that he
2
Page 3
Planning & Zoning Commission Workshop
August 9, 1988
had read that. Fieldman said, "I don't know, it was never
suppose to mirror the Route 50 study because the planning in the
county came before that."
John Linebarier questioned the various items, he wanted to know
which ones they agreed to. Fieldman commented that he would like
to go through all of them.
Item 1. Clark Road alignment shall match the alignment approved
for Clark Road by the city.
Comments: No problem.
Item 2. Dedication of right -of -way of Clark Road per Warranty
Deed at sole cost of owner with Title Opinion.
Comments: No problem.
Item 3. A subcollector road with 60' right -of -way shall run in
a northwesterly direction from a point approximately 600 feet
north of S.R. 50 at the eastern most property boundary to a point
approximately 1700 feet south of White Road on the western most
lolow property boundary. Intersection improvements where this road
meets Clark Road will be at developer's expense. A 60' right -of-
way subcollector road shall run north from S.R. 50 at the eastern
most edge of the commercial parcel to the other subcollector
road.
Comments: Fieldman commented that it is still in the City's plan.
Fieldman spoke with P.E.C. to ask about who was doing the traffic
engineering and there were questions that they had concerning
whether or not the city wanted the east /west road to go all the
way into Good Homes and Highway 50 in which case there would be
questions about whether or not the city wanted to create an
alternate and a thorough -fare. After talking with P.E.C. the
developer said at their expense they would retain Jim Lee and his
traffic engineering firm to also participate to help study this
question. Myers stated that as far as the city's transportation
plan goes the subcollector east /west is a part of the master
transportation plan and P.E.C.'s recommendation is that it stays
in all the way out to Good Homes and S.R. 50. Chairman
Swickerath stated that the board did not want curb cuts on S.R.
50 and then if there are they should be a certain number of feet.
Swickerath personally would stand firm on not having S.R. 50 turn
into another S.R. 436. Also, the developer may want to
reconsider commercial. John Linebarier stated that the board
would try to follow Highway 50 study as near as possible in
l keeping strip commercial out as much as possible and keeping curb
cuts down. Fieldman stated that he would not like to see this be
3
Page 4
*oar, Planning & Zoning Commission Workshop
August 9, 1988
a condition of this zoning. Swickerath stated the 1500 foot
minimum distance from Clark Road for a curb cut on S.R. 50 must
be followed.
Item 4. A 15 acre elementary school site shall be provided to
the Orange County School Board.
Comments: Mr. Londeree asked Myers where item number four (4)
came from. Did Orange County contact you? Usually Orange County
contacts the developer and asks if they think they need a site in
the area. Myers commented that it was in the subdivision
regulations. If 52% of the school age population exceeded 450 a
15 acre elementary school site must be provided. Regulations
further state the developer provide the site or that Orange
County can take reservation on a certain number of acres. Bob
Londeree stated, "So what you want is a letter from the school
board on whether or not they want a site in this area ?" Myers
stated, if Orange County Board wants a site it could go into the
Developer's Agreement. The developer agreed to reserve a site if
it is required by Orange County School Board.
Item 5. Minimum living areas shall be: SFLD 1400 S.F.
LMD 1200 S.F.
`ir MFMD 750 S. F.
Comments: Sizes came from zoning regulations. Myers stated that
the lot areas with a PUD the city allows smaller lots, but the
city does not necessarily want smaller housing areas. The
projected housing areas for this project seemed to have a minimum
of living area requirements. Myers stated that the developer is
asking for a R -1 zoning minimum floor area requirements and
medium density and single - family density R -1 -A. Myers thought
that what the developer was planning was too small. Londeree
commented that this is one thing that needs to be discussed.
Fieldman stated he would have to look at what the averages would
be. Myers stated that the city staff is trying to control the
quality on this development because it is in a very visible area
of the City. Fieldman said that he was not in the position to
agree to the living area tonight. Myers wanted to see how the
commission felt. Board member Pat Bello stated that she agreed
that smaller lots do not mean smaller homes. Jim Swickerath
commented that smaller lots and you build bigger homes it doesn't
take a real genius to understand thay you're getting a little
less open space or at least alot more shade on the ground from a
multi -story building which Swickerath didn't think was good or
bad depending on how it was executed. Fieldman didn't know if
this would be a big issue with the developer. Harold Switzer
commented about the Development Review Committee Report dated
N,, August 27, 1986 item number 15 mentioned square footage living
space that in no case shall the average square footage of the
living units be less than 1200 and no more than 25 percent total
4
Page 5
°%,,, Planning & Zoning Commission Workshop
August 9, 1988
number of units shall provide less than 1200 square feet of
living area. Also, except for high density residential units
which shall maintain a 750 square foot minimum living area.
Fieldman said that what Switzer read is consistent to the Staff
Report. Fieldman said that it is not just the matter of the
minimums you also have to look and see what the averages are
going to be. They had not gotten this far with the plan before.
Switzer said he would support the staff on the size.
Item 6. Multiple family parcels shall be 50% pervious surfaces.
(Pervious surfaces shall for this requirement include retention
ponds.)
Comments: No problem
item 7. All parking requirements of Chapter 111, Section 9 of
Appendix A of City of Ocoee Code shall be met.
Comments: No problem
Item 8. 50% of the total recreational acreage shall be located
adjacent to the surrounding Lake Lotta. This 5.95 acres shall be
dedicated to the city. 25% of the total recreation acreage shall
be within the multi - family parcels and 25% shall be in a
designated area accessable to residents of single family parcels.
Comments: Fieldman asked Myers where item eight (8) came from.
Myers stated, "Eight came from the fact that on the city's land
use plan, the city has a designated park area that the city would
like to have adjacent to Lake Lotta. We don't want building
built up to the edge of Lake Lotta. Londeree stated that the
entire park issue will be hard to agree to tonight and will need
to sit down with a developer's agreement. There are some
differences in opinion on how you have parks. They can be
private parks, public parks, city parks, or recreational areas
for multi - family areas. Myers stated that the subdivision
ordinanes require parks to be dedicated to the city. Staff says
if you want to keep some of it within your multi - family area as a
private park area or if you want to keep some private park areas
if it's going to be say a securtiy type neighborhood with gates
and private roads we are not opposed to that, but we want the
area around Lake Lotta. Fieldman stated that staff and developer
will need to discuss this item later. John Linebarier stated to
Mr. Fieldman that what Fieldman and others will come up against
with the P &Z board is that the Board will require free lake
access. Fieldman said they were not ready to settle number
eight. Myers stated that the commission could make their
recommendation later on during the regular hearing to City
*o,, Commission and staff can re- address the issues during the
development agreement.

Item 9. The floor area ratio in the commercial track shall not
exceed .20.
Comments: Steve Fieldman had a question with this and had to
think it over. They thought it ought to be between .2 and .25.
Item 10. Indicate the number of phases and which parcels will be
in each phase.
Comments: No problem
Item 11. Building setbacks shall be:
Clark Road 50' from R.O.W.
White Road 50' from R.O.W.
S.R. 50 50' from R.O.W.
Subcollector streets 25' from R.O.W.
(as defined in comment #3)
Comments: They could not commit to tonight.
Item 12. A traffic study shall be submitted with Development
Plans.
Comments: They wanted to know what stage. Myers stated when you
come back with the layout of property and entrace and exits.
Staff wants to study intersection improvements and if you want to
include the subcollector road it would have to before the
development agreement. Fieldman wanted to defined how much they
are paying for in the studies. Myers stated, that any traffic
studies is going to at least address intersection improvements.
Item 13. Any building exceeding one story shall be set back 100'
from the Rose Hill subdivision.
Comments: Need to discuss. Myers stated that the item use to be
in some development agreement that was never completed which
staff has copies of. Londeree stated that other things have
happened since then, like the masonry wall. Fieldman mentioned
the set back and this would need to be discussed.
Item 14. All multi - family buildings shall be set back 25' from
top of bank from any retention area.
Comments: No problem
Item 15. Access to the commercial tract shall be from the
subcollector road on S.R. 50 and one other point at least 500'

OTHER BUSINESS
John Linebarier wanted to know from the staff what was the status
of Aulton Julian's request to cut his property in half. Myers
informed the P &Z Board Members that City Commission felt that
they could not act on the request for PUD zoning as the property
did not meet PUD ordinance requirements. They had further
directed Mr. Julian to contact the City Attorney and at his own
expense possibly provide input toward another ordinance that
would fit his land use and fee simple requirements. The city
would entertain looking at this proposed ordinance.
John Linebarier had heard a rumor that the Sawmill Subdivision
had become zero lot line lots. City Staff had no knowledge of
this information.
Harold Switzer asked staff what was going on with the developer
east of Sleepy Harbour on White Road. Dennis Finch, City
Engineer commented that he had met with the developer last week
and that he has a storm drainage problem at the intersection of
White Road and Montgomery. He has tried to resolve this for 6 to
9 months. Staff is trying to get that worked out with him.
Supposedly he was to give Finch a date when paving would commence
last Wednesday, but Finch had not agreed to this because staff
took the position that they didn't want to pave it as it was.
Staff felt the base needed to be purified and brought back up,
bacause the base had really taken a beating. Unfortunately the
city doesn't have a developer's agreement with them. Switzer
stated that he understood that the developer raised the road
about 3 feet above an adjoining property owners home. Finch
recalled an area at the north end at Oak Street.
Pat Bello suggested scheduling more workshop sessions. The board
agreed and felt that scheduled work sessions would be a good
idea.
Myers mentioned that the city seems to have had a policy of doing
a development agreement on every thing in the past. She stated
that Dennis Finch and she felt that perhaps that all the
development agreements and all the amendments to all the
development agreements take alot of time and that they don't have
the time to process them all. Swickerath stated that they are
used to follow -up and to have words in writing instead of verbal
agreements.
Myers wanted to schedule another workshop prior to the next
meeting Lake Lotta would appear. A memo will go out informing
board members of a workshop.
