which has been remediated.
Vice-Chairman Keethler asked what the street tree issue is. City Planner Rumer
explained it is one (1) tree in the street and two (2) trees in the lots, and the area
between the sidewalk and street has reclaimed water/sewer in which the requirement
for one (1) tree in the street was taken out and three (3) trees on the lots has been
implemented.
Chairman McKey inquired about a 30 foot right-of-way easement at the western
boundary and asked whether there will be.a street there. City Planner Rumer indicated
there are facilities located in the easement. Chairman McKey asked whether it would
be a street at some point. City Planner Rumer explained because of the location of the
access point, it would not make sense. Chairman McKey made a suggestion of making
it a trail corridor. City Planner Rumer replied most of that area is in Orange County, but

that area as a prospective future trail. City Planner Rumer answered in the affirmative.

Development), which was originally approved by the City Commission on November 21,
2006, and Amended on February 19, 2013. Arden Park North consists of the northern
phases (2-6) of the PUD. Arden Park North is approximately 308 acres of which 54.44
acres are identified as wetlands/Lake Sims. The subject site is currently undeveloped
with mostly planted pine trees, wetlands and 100-year floodplain areas. The Future
Land Use Map designates the property as "Low Density Residential", with an area
around Lake Sims designated as "Conservation/Floodplains". This Phase 3 has been
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting

split into two separate plans; Phase 3A and 3B, which was done due to drainage
permitting for the amenity center. The main amenity for the northern phases of the
development is a pool and clubhouse room.
Arden Park North Phase 3A includes 27 single-family residential lots. The minimum
residential lot standards are (10) 55 feet by 120 feet and (17) 75 feet by 120 feet. All
streets in Arden Park North will be private and gated, which will be owned and
maintained by the homeowner's association. This PSP/FSP proposes a six-foot high
cementitious (or precast) wall system with landscaping and a pedestrian access to
Ingram Road, which will also be maintained by the homeowner's association.
This Phase 3A of the Arden Park North will have one main access point until the later
phases develop. The main access point will be located on the southern portion of the
property that is adjacent to Clarcona-Ocoee Road. Accordingly, this access point will
line up with the main access point of the existing Arden Park South (Arden Park PUD
Phase 1) subdivision. Potable water and sewer services will be provided by Orange
County. The City of Ocoee will provide solid waste services, reuse water, police and fire
protection. Finally, the Applicant has requested no Waivers from the Land Development
Code for this project phase.
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee (DRC) met on July 27, 2017, and reviewed the
Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan for Arden Park North Phase 3A. The DRC voted
unanimously to recommend approval of the Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan, subject
to the resolution any remaining staff comments.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the recommendation of the DRC, Staff recommends that the Planning and
Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Preliminary/Final Subdivision Plan for
Arden Park North Phase 3A, subject to resolving any remaining staff comments before
the City Commission meeting.
Discussion:
Chairman McKey inquired if there are access points to the West Orange Trail within
this plan. City Planner Rumer indicated there will be pedestrian access. Vice-
Chairman Keethler stated the amenity center is governed by code and the square
footage is set by the number of homes built. City Planner Rumer summarized the code
and indicated once a community reaches 101 homes, the community has to have a 500
square foot standalone covered meeting center; and further, for each additional lot, it is
five square feet of building, not to exceed 1,000 square feet. He added the engineer to
this development can add more insight. Vice-Chairman Keethler questioned how many
lots within this development went into configuring the capacity of the amenity center.
City Planner Rumer answered all of the lots approved within this PUD, which entails
864 lots.
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
August 8,2017
Bobby Johnson, Dewberry Engineers, Inc., presented a brief description of the
amenity center, which entails an enclosed smaller meeting room with porches, a larger
enclosed fitness facility with changing rooms and restrooms adjacent to the pool.
Vice-Chairman Keethler asked if the meeting room is inside and air-conditioned.
Mr. Johnson answered in the affirmative stating the total covered area is about 6,000
square feet in which a little over 3,000 square feet is air-conditioned. Chairman McKey
inquired what is between the two buildings to which Mr. Johnson replied a lawn area.
Chairman McKey asked Mr. Johnson if there is anything else he would like to share
with the Board. Mr. Johnson indicated there is a fair amount of grade changes from
west to east. City Planner Rumer disclosed that the retaining walls are not
cinderblocks, but rather look like rocks, which is very nice looking. Member Sills
inquired if this community will get reclaim water. City Planner Rumer indicated the
south end has City utilities, but this north section has Orange County utilities, but they
will have City reclaim water.
City Planner Rumer indicated that this Phase 3A is interior to the subdivision, but does
have frontage to Ingram Road. Vice-Chairman Keethler asked what the homes will be
selling for. City Planner Rumer said he saw a sign out for Arden Park South where it
was listed in the low 300,000's, but there was not a sign out for this particular phase.
Chairman McKey opened the public hearing.

The wetland area limits and buffers shown are in accordance with the approved
SJRWMD (St. Johns River Water Management District) wetlands limits. The
Applicant/Developer has worked with SJRWMD to have an approved master mitigation
plan for Arden Park North. The mitigation plan is comprised of 51.17 acres of on-site
wetland enhancement and 4.6 acres of upland buffer enhancement. The wetlands and
upland buffers will be preserved via a conservation easement dedicated to the City of
Ocoee and SJRWMD. The Applicant has proposed an onsite mitigation program which
