PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES — MEETING OF OCTOBER 16, 2003 PAGE 2 Curtis Cogburn, Al Carpenter, and Larry Wray were present. Mr. Gibson read an email from Gary Lowell in which he stated that the architectural enhancements on the building as presented in the packet did not meet the intent of the board's request regarding the windows along the west side of the building and the wall along the south side of the building. Mr_ Gibson also informed the board that the dumpster has been relocated to the east end of the building. Mr. Cogburn stated that there will be store front windows plus an awning along the entire front and both sides (east and west) of the building, there will be pentacles on both sides (east and west) of the building, and along the rear of the building there will be a row of shrubbery with six to eight foot hedges at the utilities area. The utilities were moved from the west end to the east on the rear wall. Mr. Yosefian moved to approve as presented. Mr. Green seconded. All in favor. Motion carried. PUBLIC HEARINGS. Hold a Public Hearing to PD Rezone the northerly 28 acres of the Arbor Lakes Planned. Development, amending the land use from 404 apartment units to 263 townhomes for the proposed Retreat at Twin lakes Townhouses located at 2200 Oregon Avenue. Jessica Lucyshyn with Burkett Engineering was present. Ms. Lucyshyn stated that the differences between the existing approved PD Master Plan and the proposed PD Master Plan are: the density is being reduced from 15 du/ac to 9.39 du/ac, the building setback/landscape buffer along the south property line is being reduced from 50 feet to 35 feet, the building height is being reduced from 45 feet and 3 stories to 35 feet and 2 stories, and the use is being changed from 404 rental apartments to 263 fee simple ownership townhouses. The development will be constructed in 2 phases with approximately 18 months in between the phases. The property will be graded differently so the line of sight will be 26 feet instead of the 45 feet that was originally approved. The smallest unit will be 1,100 square feet with the price range of $140,000 to $180,000 and some of the units will have garages. Those present to speak: Bob Moylan of 124 Calabria Springs Cove stated that he was concerned about the buffer zone and the wall placement and asked if an impact study was done on the existing schools. Michael Banner of 123 Calabria Springs Cove stated that he was concerned about the impact on his property value and would like to have at least a fifty -foot buffer with a wall taller than six feet. Kelli Freiheit of 121 Calabria Springs Cove stated that she was concerned about traffic and asked how many entrances were being proposed, if a traffic light was being proposed, and if the road would be widened. She also stated that an eight -foot wall would be better than a six -foot wall. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES -- MEETING OF OCTOBER 16, 2003 PAGE 3 Kirk Freiheit of 121 Calabria Springs Cove stated that he would like to have a fifty -foot buffer instead of a thirty -five foot buffer and asked how many trees would be lost within the fifteen feet that is being adjusted. They feel deceived because when they purchased their home Beazer Homes told them the fifty -foot buffer would be a conservation area and the trees would not be removed. Tony Guagneno of 130 Calabria Springs Cove (home currently under construction) stated that his home will be facing the proposed buffer and would like to have a higher fence with most of the trees being retained and asked when the buffer and the wall height would be determined. Jennifer Simons of 126 Calabria Springs Cove stated that her home will be facing the wall and buffer and asked where the wall would be located and what the height would be. She also was concerned about the trees being removed. Adam Schaefer of 122 Calabria Springs Cove stated that this development will compromise their privacy. Lynne Seddon of 118 Calabria Springs Cove stated that she was concerned about the trees. Jessica Lucyshyn informed those present that there will be a masonry screen wall. Mr. Gibson stated that the code does not require a buffer wall between single- family and townhomes, but the City is requesting one. Those present stated that they would like to have a wall between the two developments. Mr, Gibson stated that there will be two entrances; one north of Calabria Cove, which will line up with the townhome subdivision on the east side of Oregon and the other entrance will line up with the entrance to the elementary school. A traffic study was performed when the Master Plan was originally approved with Calabria Cove which at that time was single- family and multi- family (which is greater than being proposed now) and it did not warrant any traffic signals. There may be a future traffic light at the intersection of Oregon Avenue and Rinehart Road with no additional widening to Oregon Avenue. The City Commission will consider this board's recommendation on October 27 , If the request is denied tonight, the owner can go through with the apartments that were originally approved. Ms. Lucyshyn stated that there are approximately twenty trees that are six inches or larger in the proposed buffer area. The fifty -foot buffer that was approved on the Master Plan would not be an undisturbed area because there is not a guarantee on what trees would be saved. They may have to jog the wall in order to save as many trees as possible and they will work with staff and the residents prior to the City Commission meeting. Mr. Yosefzan suggested to Ms. Lucyshyn having the developer consider leaving the first ten feet natural and then start the grading at that point. Mr. Gibson informed those present that the role of the Planning and Zoning Commission is to submit recommendations to the City Co and that the purpose of the public hearing is to get input PLANNING & ,BONING COMMISSION MINUTES — MEETING OF OCTOBER 16, 2003 PAGE 4 from the community. The possibility of getting with everyone prior to the City Commission meeting would help determine any modifications that are being addressed. Dan Roberts, Vice President for Engle Homes who is the proposed developer for the project, stated that he was not prepared for this kind of response. He normally would talk with the adjacent owners, but due to the reduction in the density of units and the proposed use he did not foresee these concerns. He would be happy to meet with the owners next week some time after 5 - , 00 PM to discuss their concerns. The product they are proposing is upscale with the construction cost being approximately $135 per square foot. They are currently developing other townhomes in Florida and never have had a project impact the surrounding property values. He also would like to discuss alternatives for the wall at the meeting with the neighbors. Ms. Dennison moved to approve based on the conditions and stipulations recommended by staff with the masonry wall being acceptable by staff, the developer and the neighbors. Mr. Yoseflan seconded and made a suggestion about the first ten feet of the buffer being left natural with a retention wall and than have the grading begin at the point giving it a terrace effect. Ms. Dennison amended the motion to include requiring the first ten feet of the required thirty -five foot buffer to be left natural and have the grading begin at that point with a retention wall. Mr. Yosefian seconded amended motion. All in favor. Amended motion carried. DEVELOPMENT PLANS. Consider the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for the Retreat at Twin Lakes Townhouses, a 263 - unit townhome community at 2200 Oregon Avenue. Jessica Lucyshyn and Dan Roberts were present. Ms. Lucyshyn stated that she has reviewed staff's comments and is okay with them. They are proposing a wall around the entire development with a censor activated gate at the entrance and the roads will be public with a forty -foot right -of -way.. Mr. Roberts stated that the garages will be 12 x 20. Mr. Yosefian moved to approve per Staff s recommendation. Mr. Volk seconded. All in favor.. Motion carried. Consider the Site Plan for Mount Olive Church, a proposed 3,128 square foot Church, at 1512 W. 13 "' Place. Reverend Edward Ings was present. Mr. Gibson stated that the engineering plans have been reviewed and is ready for approval pending site plan approval. The inlet that provides the outfall to the pond to the west is located at the southwest corner of the pond. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES MEETING OF OCTOBER 16, 2003 PAGE 5 Mr Robert asked about the noise between the church and the residences. Mr., Balevich stated that per item 6, staff is recommending a continuous opaque wall /fence to buffer the residences from the church Mr. Careen moved to approve per Staff s recommendation including the continuous screening wall. Mr. Volk seconded. All in favor. Motion carried. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. STAFF REPORTS. Mr, Gibson reported that a letter was received from Seminole County regarding a traffic study at the Northstar Industrial Park intersection, which stated they would loop into it and also stated that traffic regulations are being neglected and suggested having better enforcement in the area. Mr. Gibson informed the board that Mr: Lowell's mother passed away. Mr. Gibson thanked Staff and offered his appreciation to the Board for their service and dedication. COMMISSIONER REPORTS. Mr. Volk asked for an update on the old Scotty's building. Mr Gibson reported that there has been a lack of communication since the last meeting. The Fire Department has issued a notice advising them that if they do not comply with the requirements they will be shut down. Another issue is civil site improvement issues, which includes the signage, landscaping, traffic, etc. The City worked with them to pursue an occupational license and granted them conditional approvals to obtain license since it was an existing building with similar use that was previously established. Ms. Dennison reported that the hot dog stand is at the junkyard again. ADJOURNMENT. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9.16 P.M. &-Veo 7 ) 141-4 Ross Robert, Chairman
