NEW BUSINESS: WEST END PROFESSIONAL PARK, PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLANS PROJECT NO. 92 -004 Planning Director Behrens commented that the West End Professional Park is zoned "I -1, Restricted Warehousing and Manufacturing District ", and that the property is located on the south side of Professional Parkway, east of Maguire Road, and north of the Florida Turnpike. The project will be developed in three phases as listed: Phase 1 will be Lots 2 thru 7 including the lift station and force main; Phase 2 will be Lot 1 including intersection improvements at Professional Parkway and Old Winter Garden Road; and Phase 3 will be Lots 8 thru 29 including three - laning Professional Parkway, and intersection improvements at Maguire Road and Professional Parkway. y►. �rr Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting February 9, 1993 Page 2 The accesses for the lots onto Professional Parkway will consist of one access (Court A) serving Lots 2 thru 7, another access (Professional Center Boulevard) serving Lots 17 -29, and additional accesses on Professional Parkway will be permitted, per code, depending on how the lots are developed, any combination of lots would have a maximum of two driveways. Janet Resnik, Development Administrator, Concurrency Management was present and commented that the Developer of the project does not have to apply for a concurrency determination until Final Subdivision Plans are submitted since the Preliminary Plan was already under review when the concurrency management system was established; Note #12 on the preliminary plans outlines this requirement and makes it a part of the Preliminary Plan approval. Ms. Resnik referred to the "Development Agreement Regarding Transportation Capacity (West End Professional Park)" approved by the Ocoee City Commission on November 17, 1992, that it will be part of the concurrency review. Ms. Resnik stated that there are no issues regarding concurrency at the preliminary stage of development that would prevent the Planning and Zoning Commission from recommending approval of the West End Professional Park Preliminary Subdivision Plans. Bruce Behrens, Director of Planning stated that the Development Review Committee recommended that the Preliminary Subdivision Plan be approved. Chairman Shiver opened the public hearing and noted that the meeting was duly advertised. Glenn Jackson, Developer, Heller Brothers Groves, P.O. Box 770249, Winter Garden, Florida, was present and stated that he was aware of the concurrency issues. Charlie True, Donald W. McIntosh Associates, Inc., 2200 Park Avenue North, Winter Park, FL 32789 was present as the developer's engineer. The three waivers on the bottom of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan were discussed as follows: Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting February 9, 1993 Page 3 Waiver #1: Waiver requested to Ordinance No. 895 to allow Professional Center Boulevard 2,100 feet cul -de -sac to exceed 800 feet. The fire hydrant locations and how many hydrants were questioned for adequacy. Mr. True stated that the fire hydrant spacing exceeds the City Code and that individual property owners will have to install onsite hydrants if their site requires it. Waiver #2: Waiver requested to Section 6.2.3 of subdivision regulations, to allow lots 1 and 8 thru 17 to have access via a non - internal subdivision street. This waiver will be in order when the three - laning of Professional Parkway comes about under Phase II and Phase III. Waiver #3: Waiver to Section 6.3H of the subdivision regulations to allow no sidewalk on Professional Parkway and Professional Center Boulevard. The Board expressed a real need for sidewalks on Professional Parkway and showed concern about the drainage on Professional Parkway. Court A will install sidewalks as the lots are built on. A concern was expressed with the widening of Professional Parkway at Lots 8 thru 17 that with the widening of this road the plans should show a 35 foot setback measured from the curb cut (floating property line) to the building setback line. Another item discussed with the widening of Professional Parkway is that structural drainage instead of swales should be looked at. Why should the City accept more ditches when existing ditches are inadequately maintained. Mr. True stated that he would accept a waiver for requiring sidewalks on Professional Center Boulevard, but would put sidewalks on Professional Parkway at the time of three - laning. After no further comments the public hearing was closed and the issue was brought to the table for discussion. Skilw Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting February 9, 1993 Page 4 Commissioner Swickerath moved that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval to the Board of City Commissioners that the West End Professional Park, Preliminary Subdivision Plans be approved with a provision that a sidewalk be installed on Professional Parkway only when the three- laninq occurs and that Court A will put in sidewalks as developed. Commissioner Landefeld seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
