NEW BUSINESS OAK TRAIL RESERVE PUD — REZONING AND LAND USE PLAN Community Development Director Wagner gave the staff report for Oak Trail Reserve and stated that the 38.6-acre parcel is located on the north side of the intersection of Clarke Road and Clarcona-Ocoee Road. The property is currently zoned R1-AA Single -Family Dwelling District. The future land use is Low density Residential. The proposed project is to include a maximum of 60 single-family units and 80 town homes. The project also includes a small recreation area, a 3.6-acre wetland area that Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting July 13, 2004 will be preserved in its natural state as a wildlife habitat, along with an upland buffer conservation area at the northeast corner of the site. Oak Trail Reserve PUD will have two (2) access points into the site. Orange County will be providing the water and sewer service while solid waste and reuse water service will be provided by the City. Based upon the original Annexation Agreement, the property owner will provide additional road right-of-way for: ➢ Widening of Clarcona-Ocoee Road/West Orange Trail and, ➢ The northwest extension of Clarke Road. The isolated wetland is proposed to be used for stormwater retention, and the developer stated that wetland mitigation is to be provided for impacts into the jurisdictional wetland for stormwater retention and recreation areas. St. Johns River Water Management District will review for acceptability for storage as it relates to water quantity and water quality. Tract "E", a triangular 1.71-acre parcel located between Hobson Road and Clarcona- Ocoee Road and the northwest extension of Clarke Road will be dedicated to the City. This tract will serve as a stormwater retention area, as well as a mini trail head park. DRC RECOMMENDATION The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the Oak Trail Reserve PUD Land Use Plan on June 15, 2004, and there was discussion on revising the Land Use Plan with the developer agreeing to make the changes noted by July 1, 2004. The DRC voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Oak Trail Reserve PUD Land Use Plan, subject to the changes discussed being made to the plans ahead of the Planning and Zoning Commission on July 13, 2004. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the recommendation of the DRC, Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Rezoning and Land Use Plan for the Oak Trail Reserve PUD, as date stamped received by the City on June 24, 2004. The public hearing was opened. Cecelia Bonifay, attorney representing the developer, stated the entire consultant team for the developer is present to answer questions and she gave background information on the project. Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting July 13, 2004 Chairman Golden inquired as to what the traffic difference would be between single- family homes and townhome/mixed use. Patricia Tice, Traffic Consultant representing the developer, stated that townhome/mixed use would generate ±1043 trips per day and single-family homes would generate ±1340 trips per day. The public hearing was closed. Member Rhodus, seconded by Member West, moved to recommend approval of the Rezoning and Land Use Plan for the Oak Trail Reserve PUD, as date stamped received by the City on June 24, 2004. Motion carried 8-0. i a] I II, l a 74AI ITi1Ti•T1 Y46-1113 7M Nrel i• 17 11_1 kl Community Development Director Wagner presented the staff report for Eagles Landing Preliminary Subdivision Plan and stated the property is located on the west side of Ocoee -Apopka Road approximately 2,000 feet north of West Road. This property includes about 46.41 developable acres with 2.63 acres as wetland/conservation to be dedicated to the City. It also preserves an existing eagle's nest. The property owner will provide additional road right-of-way for Ocoee -Apopka Road and construct turn lanes on Ocoee -Apopka Road and Westyn Bay Blvd. The developer of Eagles Landing is coordinating the utilities, road connection, and the use of the community meeting room with the developer of Westyn Bay. These arrangements will be noted in a Development Agreement. Eagles Landing will be a gated community with two (2) access points from Westyn Bay Blvd. There will be a 6-foot brick wall within a 10-foot wide landscape wall easement with appropriate landscaping along the full length of Ocoee -Apopka Road fronting the subdivision. From the intersection of Ocoee -Apopka Road and Westyn Bay Blvd. to the entrance of the subdivision on Westyn Bay Blvd. there will be a 6-foot high polyvinyl fence with a 10-foot landscape and fence easement. The developer is requesting the following three (3) waivers: To increase the length of the block from the Code standard 1,000 maximum to 1,350 feet based on geographical layout and entrance locations. Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting July 13, 2004 2. To not be required to provide a community meeting room as required because the developer has an agreement with the adjacent Westyn Bay subdivision to use their community room. 3. To reduce the required 35 feet rear setback adjacent to Ocoee -Apopka Road to 30 feet because there will be dedication of 35 feet for additional right-of-way which would result in a 65-foot setback from existing right-of-way. Staff supports all three (3) waivers. DRC RECOMMENDATION The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the Eagles Landing Preliminary Subdivision on June 15, 2004. There was discussion on revising the Development Agreement concerning access issues such as pedestrian access across the road leading to Westyn Bay Subdivision, common areas ownership and maintenance, and joint use of the community room. There was also discussion on the following: the significant grade differences along Ocoee -Apopka Road with the potential erosion, the impact on rear yards on a retaining wall that needs to be built. The DRC voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan, subject to the amended Development Agreement being provided ahead of the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to be reviewed by the City Attorney, and which covers all of the outstanding legal issues. Cross section plans will be modified to show a 6-foot buffer wall adjoining the roadway. These changes have now been incorporated into the plans. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the recommendation of the DRC, Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Eagles Landing Subdivision, as date stamped received by the City on June 28, 2004, including waivers 1, 2, and 3, subject to City Attorney approval of the amended Development Agreement. Member Riffe asked why Staff was supporting waiver #2 concerning the community room. Community Development Director Wagner said that Westyn Bay has a significant sized community center as well as tennis courts, a swimming pool, and a baseball field. Member Riffe stated she had concerns with the sharing of the community room. Member Keller stated his concerns regarding the sharing of the community center between the two subdivisions. Community Development Director Wagner said there would be a complex legal agreement drawn up regarding the sharing of the community room. City Attorney Rosenthal said there would be a Real Estate Development and 0 Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting July 13, 2004 Conveyance Agreement between Eagles Landing and Westyn Bay, which provides for financial contributions between Westyn Bay and Eagles Landing. The public hearing was opened. Applicant Randy June was available to answer questions. Scott Richmond, 10349 Oakview Point Terrace, asked if the residents in Eagles Landing would have access to all of the recreational facilities in Westyn Bay. Community Development Director Wagner said the community center, swimming pool, and ball fields would be available. Mr. Richmond said the majority of homeowners in Westyn Bay do not reside in their homes yet and he thinks the residents of Westyn Bay should have a say in the sharing of the amenities. The public hearing was closed. Member Riffe stated that she would support this subdivision but she would not support waiver #2. because most of the new homeowners in Westyn Bay have no idea that their recreational facilities will be shared with another subdivision. Member Keller voiced concerns regarding new homeowners in Westyn Bay not being aware that they are sharing the recreational facilities, there could be possible litigation issues down the road between the two subdivisions. Discussion ensued. Member Keller, seconded by Member Riffe, moved to approve staff recommendation of approval of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Eagles Landing Subdivision, as date stamped received by the City on June 28, 2004, including wavier #1 & 3, and with exception of denial of waiver #2, and subject to City Attorney approval of the amended Development Agreement. Motion carried 7-1 with Chairman Golden voting no. WESTRIDGE PUD — Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Community Development Director Wagner presented the Staff Report for Westridge PUD Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Parcel A is 8.4±-acres of undeveloped property and is located at the southeastern corner of the intersection of Maguire and Moore Roads. The property has a current land use designation of "Low Density Residential" and a proposed land use designation of "Commercial". The requested "Commercial" Future Land Use Map Classification is not consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map. Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting July 13, 2004 The additional traffic from this proposed plan amendment would lower the future level of service below adopted standards based on a preliminary estimate provided by the City's transportation consultant. It is estimated that when existing commercial, office, and residential land uses are built out along the Maguire Road corridor, the roadway will deteriorate to Level of Service "F". Therefore, the addition of 8.4 acres of commercial and office uses with 4,966 net increases in ADT will further diminish the capacity of the roadway to an unacceptable level. The parcel is within the Orange County Utility Service Area; the County has adequate capacity to provide potable water and sanitary sewer facilities, and adequate stormwater management facilities will be required in accordance with SJWMD rules. Solid waste disposal will be provided by the Orange County Landfill and this facility is projected to provide capacity until the year 2030 according to the adopted Ocoee Comprehensive Plan. Recreational facilities will be serviced by Freedom Park and the joint use agreement with Orange County School Board for Thornbrooke Elementary School. There are no recreational parks and open space standards for non-residential development. The proposed future land use map classification change will impact and be impacted by the surrounding land uses. As indicated, the Westridge PUD restrictions will limit the allowable uses on his parcel to low intensity uses that are consistent with a "neighborhood shopping district" land use. Neighborhood Shopping Districts have a service or market area of approximately 1- 11/2 miles. For this proposed amendment, additional reductions in the market area are required since the Florida Turnpike acts as a major barrier to properties to the north by limiting north -south access. All commercial uses need an adequate number of residential units within their market area to provide customer base to insure economic viability. The residential uses with proposed Westridge neighborhood shopping district market area are at 75-80% build out resulting in a limited base of new customers to support the commercial land uses in the vicinity of the intersection of Maguire Road and Roberson -Moore Road. Currently, the Plantation Grove Shopping Center has 7-8 acres yet to be built out, and for all practical purposes, provides adequate neighborhood commercial uses to serve this developed marker area. On Maguire Road between the Florida Turnpike and Tomyn Road, additional intense commercial uses are planned including another proposed shopping center and other associated commercial uses. These extensive amounts of commercial land uses also limit the demand for further neighborhood -shopping district development. rel Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting July 13, 2004 Other proposed uses located at the corner of Maguire Road -Roberson -Moore Roads intersection further limit the need for additional changes to higher intensity uses as follows: ➢ Northwest Corner: Professional Offices & Services land use classification totaling 29.6 acres; these properties are located within Orange County and the City. Those parcels within the City are also zoned Professional Offices & Services; and ➢ Southeast Corner: The Belmere PUD is within the County, and has a large residential component in addition to properties in the northwest section of the PUD along Roberson -Moore and Maguire Roads that have been designated for commercial/retail development. As indicated, there is an abundance of available Commercial and Professional Offices & Services future land uses with the 1 — 1 '/2 mile marker or service area. Adding more commercial land will only serve to dilute the ability of existing lands zoned for this purpose to develop, and introduce high intensity uses in close proximity to high quality homes in the immediate vicinity of the property. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the analysis, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission, acting as the Local Planning Agency, recommend denial of the proposed Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment that would change future land use classification from City of Ocoee "Low Density Residential: to the City of Ocoee "Commercial". City Attorney Rosenthal addressed the Developer Agreement, which had been entered into between the Developer and the City in April 2002. This agreement addresses conveyance of a certain right-of-way for improvements of 7t" Avenue. This agreement did not obligate the City to approve any commercial zoning or a small scale comprehensive amendment regarding the Westridge PUD. The public hearing was opened. Dwight Saathoff, representing the applicant, stated the Civil Engineer and the Traffic Engineer are available to answer questions. Mr. Saathoff stated he objects to the basis of Staff's recommendation of denial. He felt the analysis used by the City was faulty. In 1998 the same plan was presented, Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval, however; City Commission denied approval of the plan. He further stated there are 63 Conditions of Approval for this project and gave some background on some of the Conditions of Approval. Mr. Saathoff lastly informed Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting July 13, 2004 the Planning and Zoning Commission that they must make their recommendation based on objective criteria. John Moore, Transportation Planner, stated his firm prepared the Site Plan and Traffic Study that was submitted to the City in 2003, and he discussed the transportation elements of the City of Ocoee Staff Report. Mr. Moore distributed a Summary of Daily and P.M. Peak -Hour Trip Generation, Year 2005 chart for Westridge PUD. Community Development Director Wagner stated that every Staff Report that was issued regarding this project included the language "Staff is inclined to recommend denial of the Land Use Change". The Planning and Zoning Commission needs to be aware of the incremental effects of different developments on the roadway map and the marketability of the properties in the area. The public hearing was opened. Brenda Larson, 466 Fern Meadow Loop, stated she opposes the property zoning being changed to Commercial stating concerns of property values and aesthetics. Pam Helbling, representing Windsor Landing, stated Windsor Landing is opposed to the rezoning of the property stating concerns with property values. She further stated she has concerns with the developer blocking 7t" Avenue. Moe Mango, 540 Golden Moss Loop, stated he is not opposed to homes being developed in the area but he is opposed to more commercial in the area due to the traffic. Bob Ferdinand, 12202 Park Avenue, Windermere, stated the remaining 8 acres at Plantation Grove is under contract and will begin development this year. He further stated that there is sufficient commercial property in the area. Harry Strange, 1177 7t" Avenue, Gotha, stated the property to be developed commercial would not produce children, which would over crowd the schools. Rain Pinckney, 10643 Oakview Point Terrace, Gotha, stated he is representing the Oaks of Windermere subdivision and they are opposing the development of Parcel A & B and he stated his concerns regarding 7t" Avenue. Dwight Saathoff, representing the applicant, gave a brief overview of how the commercial space would be used. Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting July 13, 2004 Community Development Director Wagner said that 7t" Avenue has nothing to do with this particular case. The public hearing was closed. Member Riffe stated that she agrees with the applicant and she does not feel that there is an over abundance of commercial property and she feels the City should create more commercial pockets. Member Rhodus stated she enjoys shopping and sees the need for more commercial development. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the rezoning of the property to commercial. Member Riffe, seconded by Member Keller, moved to recommend approval of the proposed Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment, changing the future land use classification from "Low Density Residential" to "Commercial", subject to approval of the Second Revised Land Use Plan and the Preliminary Subdivision Plan. Motion carried 5-3 with Members Golden, West, and Sills voting no. RECESS 9:45 p.m. — 10:00 p.m. WESTRIDGE PUD — SECOND REVISED LAND USE PLAN AND PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAN Community Development Director Wagner presented the Staff Report for the Westridge PUD Second Revised Land Use Plan and Preliminary Subdivision Plan. The 76.339 ±acres are located at the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Maguire Road and Moore Road. This PUD was annexed and approved on November 20, 1990, with a Future Land Use Map designation of "Single Family Residential". The request for an amendment to the current PUD requires the City Commission to approve a Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Future Land Use Map changing the designation of an 8.4 acre parcel located in the northwest portion of the larger Westridge PUD from "Low Density Residential" to "Commercial". A similar Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment to amend the Future Land Use Map was denied by the City Commission on October 6, 1998. This issue is to be considered as a separate item preceding consideration of this request and the Staff Report was written as if the Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment were approved. At the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Maguire Road and Moore Road are four (4) commercial lots. South of the commercial lots is the wetland area that be preserved Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting July 13, 2004 for conservation and open space. The main entrance into the Westridge PUD is from Maguire Road with an access to the commercial lots and to the residential subdivision. There will also be an access point from 7tn Avenue into the subdivision. The subdivision will be a gated community with three (3) stormwater retention ponds, with one enhancing the community park that will include a pool, community meeting room, pavilion, tot lot, and open play area. There will be a 25-foot buffer between the commercial and residential portions of the PUD with a 7-foot high brick wall within the buffer. An additional right-of-way will be dedicated by the Applicant to the City. Orange County will provide water and sewer service, while solid waste and reuse water will be provided by the City. The property owner will provide additional road right-of-way for: ➢ Right and left turn lanes from Maguire Road onto "A" Boulevard; ➢ Right turn lane from Maguire to Moore Road; ➢ A right turn lane from Maguire Road into the commercial parcel; ➢ Right and left turn lanes as required from Moore Road into the commercial and the office entrance. A Development Agreement incorporating all Conditions of Approval and roadway dedications is under review by the City Attorney. This project is subject to conditions contained in a separate agreement between the City and the Developer regarding 7tn Avenue. The Developer is requesting the following seven (7) waivers, which Staff supports: 1) To decrease the required recreation area of 5% of gross land area (2.48 acres) to 2.30 acres, because the 3.7-acre lake area is adjacent to and integral with the park and enhances the amenity. 2) To not be completely restricted to any development within 25 feet of wetland boundaries but rather use an average of 25 feet of no development within the upland buffer, because the upland and wetland preservation and mitigation for impacts will be consistent with the St. Johns River Water Management District and the City of Ocoee permitting requirements. 3) To reduce the access driveway separation requirement of 350 feet from arterial street to less than 350 feet from arterial street from Maguire Road right-of-way line. This waiver request is necessary for traffic circulation for proposed site plan and consistent with findings of traffic study by Glatting Jackson et al. 10 Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting July 13, 2004 4) To eliminate the sidewalk required along all rights -of -way, but rather allow for only a 6-foot sidewalk on the north side of the entry boulevard, due to wetland and buffer preservation on the south side. 5) To allow a wall to be erected higher than the 6-foot maximum up to 7 feet between the office and residential portions of the PUD. This would allow increased privacy desired between commercial/office and single family residential. 6) To reduce the required setback line along Maguire Road from 35 feet to 23 feet, due to dedication of 12 feet additional right-of-way to the City for road widening. 7) To reduce the required setback line along Moore Road from 35 feet to 23 feet, due to dedication of 12 feet additional right-of-way to the City for road widening. The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the Westridge PUD Revised Land Use Plan and Preliminary Subdivision Plan on June 15, 2004. There was discussion on revising the Land Use Plan and the Preliminary Subdivision Plan wit the developer agreeing to make certain changes by July 1, 2004. The City Attorney talked about the pending Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment approval. The DRC voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Westridge PUD Revised Land Use Plan and Preliminary Subdivision Plan, subject to the Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment being approved by the City Commission and subject to all of the changes discussed being made to the plans a week ahead of the Planning and Zoning Commission. These changes have now been made to the plans dated July 2, 2004. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the recommendation of the DR, Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Second Revised Land Use Plan Amendment and the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Westridge PUD Subdivision, as date stamped received by the City on July 2, 2004, including the seven (7) waivers; and further, subject to approval of the Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Commercial and approval of the Development Agreement. Community Development Director Wagner announced that all public hearing comments for the Second Revised Land Use Plan would carry forward to the Preliminary Subdivision Plan. The public hearing was opened for Westridge PUD Second Revised Land Use Plan. 11 Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting July 13, 2004 Harry Strange, 1177 7th Avenue, Gotha, inquired as to if there would be sidewalks added to 7th Avenue and as to the type of material that would be used to pave the Avenue. City Attorney Rosenthal said the First Amendment to the Second Developer Agreement addresses an agreement between the City and the Developer regarding the improvements of 7th Avenue. Pam Helbling, representing Windsor Landing, inquired as to the type of boundary around the subdivision. She also stated that there was wood fence along Thornbrooke Avenue and she would like to see a brick wall, not a wood fence. Discussion ensued regarding the view from Windsor Landing and the type of barrier to be used along Thornbrooke Avenue. City Attorney Rosenthal said now would be the appropriate forum to require additional buffers. Charlie True, Special Engineer, stated the Developer would landscape the boulevard and there would a landscaping plan presented at a later date. Discussion ensued regarding landscaping. Brian Pinckney, representing Oaks of Windermere, stated his concerns regarding the wood fence to be used on the property, buffers for his subdivision, and the type of material used to pave 7th Avenue. The public hearing for Westridge PUD Second Revised Land Use Plan was closed. Member Riffe, seconded by Member Keller, moved to recommend approval of the Second Revised Land Use Plan for Westridge PUD, including the waivers, with the exception of waiver #5, and with additional conditions of approval to continue the brick wall along the southern boundary of the property; and that the Final Subdivision Plan address additional buffering and landscaping within the Commercial and Office Sites and along the entry road in order to screen the Commercial/Office Sites from the residential development to the south; and further, subject to approval of the Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Commercial and approval of the Development Agreement. Motion carried 7-1 with Member West voting no. All comments for the Second Revised Land Use Plan public hearing were carried forward to the Preliminary Subdivision Plan public hearing. 12 Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting July 13, 2004 The public hearing for Westridge PUD Preliminary Subdivision Plan was opened. As no one wished to speak, the public hearing for the Westridge PUD Preliminary Subdivision was closed. Member Riffe, seconded by Member Keller, moved to recommend approval of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Westridge PUD, per the Staff recommendation and subject to the same conditions set forth in the Second Revised Land Use Plan recommendation, as date stamped received by the City on July 2, 2004. Motion carried 8-0 OCOEE CROWN POINT PUD — LAND USE PLAN/ PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAN AMENDMENT (Poer Property) Community Development Director Wagner presented the Staff Report for the Ocoee Crown Point PUD Land Use Plan/Preliminary Subdivision Plan. The overall design concept is to have a mixed -use neighborhood with complimentary residential and commercial uses, supplemented by school and other beneficial public facilities. In order to cover the cost of the land acquisition by the City and the cost of building the necessary roads and utilities to serve the property, the plan anticipates that portions of the property will be sold to private developers for various commercial and residential uses. The proposed amendment incorporates the recently acquired Poer Property into the development with the goal of adding ±29.75 more acres of residential land for sale to developers. The property is approximately 2,000 feet west of the State Road 429 overpass at Fuller's Cross -East Crown Point Roads. The subject property was originally located in the Orange County -Winter Garden Joint Planning Area (JPA). In order for the City of Ocoee to annex this property and submit a Future Land Use Map amendment, the City coordinated with the City of Winter Garden and Orange County to move the property from the Orange County -Winter Garden JPA to the Orange County -Ocoee JPA. i ► �1L11 0117-111 no7 The amended Ocoee Crown Point PUD Land Use Plan and Preliminary Subdivision Plan were reviewed by the DRC on June 15, 2004. There was only one minor comment, which was to clarify and correct certain table numbers on the plans. When the discussion was finished, the Committee voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Amendment to the PUD Land Use Plan/Preliminary Subdivision Plan, contingent 13 Planning and Zoning Commission Regular Meeting July 13, 2004 upon correcting the specific table numbers.

Scott Vandergrift Citv Manager Robert Frank STAFF REPORT DATE: October 6, 2004 Commissioners Danny Howell, District 1 Scott Anderson, District 2 Rusty Johnson, District 3 Nancy J. Parker, District 4 TO: The Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: J. Antonio Fabre, Senior Planner THROUGH: Russ Wagner, AICP, Community Development Director filk, SUBJECT: McCormick Woods Residential Subdivision Project # LS-2001-002 ISSUE: Should the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Final Subdivision Plan for McCormick Woods Subdivision? BACKGROUND: McCormick Woods is located on the south side of McCormick Road between the Western Expressway (S.R. 429) and Ingram Road. The subject property is currently undeveloped and is sparsely vegetated with cherry trees, pine trees, and other varieties. Most of the surrounding land is either residential or vacant. Additionally, to the extreme south and southwest there are some public facilities uses such as a golf course (Forest Lake Golf Course) and a cemetery (Orlando Memorial Gardens). A future 25-acre middle school site is located adjacent on the south side of the subject subdivision. To the east lies the recently proposed Ingram Estate residential subdivision. The Final Subdivision Plan proposes 182 single-family residential lots on approximately 69.9 acres. The property is zoned R-1A requiring a minimum lot width of 70 feet and lot size of 8,000 SF. Typical lot sizes proposed are a minimum of 8,750 SF. The land use designation to the north is unincorporated Orange County, with A-1 agricultural zoning. Unincorporated land to the southwest is the Orlando Memorial Gardens; the developer has 9+/- acres of that vacant property under contract and intends to develop it as a future Phase Three. The remaining surrounding land to the east and west is in the City's jurisdiction and is designated residential R-1A zoning to the west (across SR 429) and R-1AA to the east (Ingram Estates). The City Commission, on December 2, 2003, reviewed and approved the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for McCormick Woods with a condition to make the sidewalks in Tract "C" and Tract "1" 6-feet wide. Subsequently, the conditions have been met with this Final Subdivision Plan submittal. October 6, 2004 Planning and Zoning Commission Page 2 DISCUSSION: As shown in the Final Subdivision Plan, McCormick Woods will be developed in two phases, and include a 1,000 SF community meeting building and recreation facilities. The future Phase Three conceptual drawing of lots and road layout is provided for informational purposes only, although the amenities were designed assuming that Phase Three will have a total of 30 lots at built -out. The internal road stub -outs will connect to the future Phase Three, although a temporary turnaround will be provided until a connection is made. Both the McCormick Road and Ingram Road entrances will be gated. On McCormick Road, there will be a left turn lane, which will serve this subdivision and Irmalee Lane. Along the length of the subdivision, Ingram Road will be improved to 24-foot curb and gutter. Left and right turn lanes into the subdivision at both entrances will be provided. A northbound left turn lane on Ingram to McCormick Road will also be built. Anticipating the future need for a southbound right turn lane on McCormick Road to Ingram Road, an additional 10 feet of right-of-way will be dedicated by the property owner to Orange County. Along the Expressway, homes will have a 20-foot wide landscape buffer (Tract "G") that will be planted along the entire eastern boundary. Bicycle -pedestrian access easements (Tract "C' and Tract "I") will be provided between McCormick Woods and the Middle School in two locations. There will be a 6-foot brick wall with appropriate landscaping along McCormick and Ingram Roads. Water and wastewater will be provided by Orange County. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the McCormick Woods Final Subdivision Plan on September 17, 2004. The DRC voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Final Subdivision Plan, subject to the developer making minor changes to the plans as discussed and noted on the Planning Comments correspondence. These changes were made and shown on the plans date stamped "Received October 4, 2004." STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the recommendation of the DRC, Staff respectfully recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Final Subdivision Plan for McCormick Woods, as date stamped received by the City on October 4, 2004.

James, AICP (i Principal Planner 4 Date: September 29, 2004 Subject: Colonial Drive/SR50 Access Management Plan Land Development Code Amendment ISSUE: Commissioners Danny Howell, District 1 Scott Anderson, District 2 Rusty Johnson. District :3 Nance J. Parker, District. 4 Should the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend an amendment to the Land Development Code changing Figure 3 in the "Access Management and Intersechon Operations Study for SR 50 in order to move the full access intersection on State Road 50 from Consumer Court to Economic Court, and provide a directional left turn access into the Towne Square Shopping Center? BACKGROUND: The "Access Management and Intersection Operations Study' was adopted by the City with Ordinance 98-11 incorporating the Access Management Plan for State Road 50/Colonial Drive into the City Code of Ordinances. Currently, Figure 3 shows a full access intersection with left turn lanes at Consumer Court and SR 50. This non -signalized intersection connects an unnamed roadway to the south between Discount Auto Parts and Dunkin Donuts with a new entrance to the Towne Square Shopping Center (the old Walmart site) on the north. This new shopping center entrance is between Goodyear and Arby's, continuing north, turning east along Arby's property line entering the shopping center from the west. (See the attached Figure 3: "Florida's Turnpike to Maguire Rd.") DISCUSSION: The developer of the site located south of Discount Auto Parts and Dunkin Donuts has requested that the access roadway, which connects Professional Parkway and SR 50, be moved to their western property line. The relocation of this full access intersection to Economic Court and the associated changes to Consumer Court were inconsistent with the City's adopted SR 50 Access Management Plan, and, as such, were opposed by Staff. City of Ocoee - 150 N Lakeshore Drive - Ocoee, Florida 34761 phone: (407) 905-3100 - fax: (407) 656-8504 - www.ci.ocoee.fl.us Colonial Drive/SR50 Access Management Plan Land Development Code Amendment Page 2 of 2 On August 26, 2004, Staff met with the representatives of the development site, Jim Bartoe, the Towne Square Shopping Center representative, and Fred Ferrell, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)-District 5 Traffic Operations Manager. During this meeting, Fred Ferrell indicated the FDOT had already directed their SR 50 design consultants for the widening of SR 50 to move the intersection from Consumer Court to Economic Court contrary to the Access Management Plan adopted by the City. Mr. Ferrell stated that FDOT reserved the right to change access management plans on state roadways even if these changes were not consistent with the plans of local governments. Fred Ferrell also indicated the following changes on SR 50 between Maguire Road and Marshall Farms Road. (See the attached Figure 3-A: "Florida's Turnpike to Maguire Rd.") The old intersection site at Consumer Court would now become an eastbound directional left from SR 50 (turning north) into the Towne Square Shopping Center with no corresponding westbound directional left from SR 50 (turning south); The new intersection site at Economic Court/SR 50 would be signalized with a westbound left turn lane from SR 50 (turning south); and Both the old and new intersections would have parallel left turn lanes to accommodate the necessary turn lane capacity to function properly. These improvements would be completed with the SR 50 widening project in 5 to 6 years. The representatives of the development site and the Towne Square Shopping Center were in agreement with the FDOT decision. The City Attorney suggested the attorney for the developer prepare a request for an amendment to the SR 50 Access Management Plan. This request was presented to the Mayor & City Commissioners on September 7, 2004 who directed Staff to prepare this amendment request and the associated ordinance. Since FDOT has already unilaterally exercised its right to alter the access plans on the roadway by instructing the design consultants to make the changes stated above, the City has no choice but to adopt the FDOT-mandated changes. It should be noted that the movement of the full intersection from Consumer to Economic Court will impact wetlands and the 100-year floodplain in this area. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the analysis above, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval of the changes to the "Access Management and Intersection Operations Study" for SR 50 to move the full access intersection on State Road 50 from Consumer Court to Economic Court, and to provide a directional left turn access into the Towne Square Shopping Center.
