Pozo SUBDIVISION - PUBLIC HEARING
PRELIMINARY /FINAL SUBDIVISION PLAN, PROJECT NO. 94 -003
Planning Director Wagner presented the staff report for the two lot subdivision located at the
northwest corner of Old Winter Garden Road and Professional Parkway. He said the property
was zoned C -3, General Commercial District, and that a two -story residence and a storage
warehouse were located on the western parcel. He said research had disclosed that the property
had been zoned C -3 when originally annexed, but that, due to scriveners' errors, the zoning and
land use maps had reflected a multi - family designation. He noted that the correction to
Commercial usage had been included in the ORC Report in the recent Comprehensive Plan
Amendment.
Mr. Wagner explained that the property had been purchased by Mr. Pozo a few years ago and
had been split into two parcels without benefit of a subdivision plan or plat. He said the western
parcel containing the existing buildings had been sold to another party, and that neither owner
could develop his property until the land was properly subdivided and platted in accordance with
the City Land Development Code. The Preliminary and Final Subdivision Plans have been
combined but will allow each owner to proceed with separate site plans once a plat has been
filed. He said there were many conditions on the Plans because the owner of the undeveloped
parcel had not determined its use. He said a Developer Agreement required prior to platting
would stipulate certain improvements to be accomplished at the time of site development for

each tract. He said the Plans required the developer to dedicate an additional 27 feet of right -
of -way along Old Winter Garden Road for future roadway widening and intersection
improvements. Mr. Wagner concluded his presentation with Staff's recommendation for
approval including the Conditions of Approval as stipulated on the Plans.
(Member Miller had arrived at 7:40 p.m. during Mr. Wagner's presentation.)
In response to a question from Vice Chairman Bond, Mr. Wagner said the width of the current
right -of -way along Old Winter Garden Road was 33 feet from the center line. He said the total
width of right -of -way with the dedication would be approximately 100 feet and should give
sufficient width to expand the road to four lanes.
Ms. Bond asked if requiring the additional 27 feet of right -of -way might impact the property
negatively or cause the owners to request a variance in order to develop their property.
Mr. Wagner said he did not envision that happening, as in these cases the set back line was
calculated from the original right -of -way.
One of the owners, Mr. Joe Pozo, National Developers, Ltd., Orlando, and the engineer, Mr.
Randy June, June Engineering Consultants, Orlando, were present to answer questions.
