He r stated that they are asking for a landscaping variance because the landscaping is not all inclusive on -site. Mr. Shea stated that they would be responsible for a master drainage system. Mr. Robert questioned the ingress /egress for Oregon Ave. He asked why would pedestrian and automobile traffic be excluded and trucks would be allowed. Mr. Shea stated that they could not provide any access for pedestrians from the back so they have elected to proceed with a plan that does not have any connections to Oregon Avenue. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 1996 PAGE 2 Mr. Marder stated that there would not be any problems with pedestrian access from Oregon Avenue. The existing section of Oregon Avenue is remnant and a decrease in open space. He suggested that the applicant could work out removing some of the pavement and landscaping that is in front of the building.

Mr. Marder stated that the plan will be reconfigured to more of a circular potential around the site.

Ms. Lockridge stated that they would have to meet all City codes with respect to drainage and also MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 1996 PAGE 3 requirements of the St. Johns River Water Management District. Mr. Robert asked if the overflow of parking on Jewett Lane will be taken care of by this site. Mr. Cold stated that they are also designing a cross -over so people who work in the existing building can park at the new facility. He also stated that there is a ditch that bisects the two properties and that there will be on -site retention. Mr. Marder noted that Staff is looking very closely at the drainage situation. He has provided the Mill Creek Drainage Study to the developer. Ms. Lockridge stated that whatever is done to accommodate the cross -over, it would have to be permitted by St. Johns River Water Management District. Mr. Marder explained that there is a segment of 5th that goes. from the westerly property line of this site to the east that is substandard which has two access points on the end. The City may rewire this segment to be brought up to. standards. Mr. McClanahan stated that there would be 300 more cars a day on a substandard street and that this is a situation that needs to be evaluated now.

The next item was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a Preliminary Subdivision Plan in conjunction with a Conditional Use request for property located at 601 Lake Minnie Drive in an MR -3, Multiple Family Dwelling Residential Zoning District for the purpose of a 77 lot single family residential subdivision with 50'x100' minimum size lots having 20 foot front, 5 foot side, and 20 foot rear yard setbacks. owner: U.S. Home Corporation; representative: Kyle A Sanders - U.S. Home. Kyle Sanders, U.S. Home Corporation, stated that they were asking for approvals for a conditional use and for a preliminary subdivision plan on Northlake . Currently, this is a 15 acre vacant field, zoned for 300 multi - family units. He stated that they were looking for approval of up to 77 single family lots. This property was in the process of being approved for 288 units. The houses: will range in size from 1000 to 2300 square feet. They have met with Northlake Condominium owners and the owners have expressed some concerns. Mr. Robert asked if there were any problems with the road. Mr. Marder stated that the developer would have to give Staff the traffic data, but in all evidence, the traffic volume will not trigger a traffic light. The existing density is 15 to 18. Mr. McClanahan asked if the development would require retention on site. . Mr. Marder stated "yes ", that the water would have to be retained on site, pre /post. If water-is running off this property now it will have to be corrected. This could improve the drainage situation rather than impact it negatively. Mr. Skat questioned the outfall to Lake Minnie Canal from the retention pond. The engineer stated that there will be two ponds i MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 1995 PAGE 4 with final outfall to canal which drains into Lake Minnie. He noted that the condominium's water flows into Lake Minnie also. He stated that all lots will be graded interior to the streets. The retention pond will have a concrete control structure to keep the impact on Lake Minnie and surrounding properties no greater than the existing conditions.

Ranger Blvd., property manager for Northlake Condominiums stated that the condo owners are not opposed nor in f avor of this request. He stated that they would like to have this request postponed. There are some legal questions that would preclude U.S. Home from using the drive, and there are questions regarding the drainage system. Mr. Ferrara stated that a lot of problems are due to poor planning. There are 228 owners in Northlake that are dissatisfied with what was presented by U.S. Home at their meeting. Mr. McClanahan explained that there were many points that Mr. Ferrara were pursuing that have nothing to do with what the Commission is addressing now. Mr. Marder stated that the City recognizes the situation that this is not a City maintained street. It will have to be worked out and the street will have to be brought up to City code. Mr. McClanahan explained that the developers can't pull the first building permit until they have legal access /public right -of --way. If they do not have access they can't build a house no matter what the Planning and Zoning Commission does. Mr. Ferrara stated that he needs answers and would like it postponed. Frank Dolan of U.S. Home stated that they had met with homeowners to go over some suggestions. One suggestion was to upgrade the Northlake lift station to City standards. He stated that they are willing to do this if their development could hook up the Northlake lift station, upgrade it, and donate it to the- City. They had recommended to the homeowners that they upgrade the road and dedicate to the City so that the City could maintain the road. Mr. Dolan stated that there are perpetual easements all over this piece of land. They do not have any rights to add roads. to the condo land that the condo owners would have to maintain. Leonard Smith of 1304 Northlake Dr. stated that there are problems with the lift station and traffic. He stated that this is a faceless developer. There are issues here that go beyond the paperwork. He asked that the Commission deny this request, tonight. At this point Mr. Dolan stated that they were willing to table consideration of this request. Larry Vissar, 591 Lake Minnie Drive, Grove Counseling Center, stated that as development has taken place, the property has gotten wetter and wetter. In the last year or two, he has had serious problems with his drainfield not working properly, and with standing water. He stated that he had had a problem with part of his house because a part of the foundation was built on pilings. He had to rebuild the piling and shore up the foundation. The property line between him and the developers is wet a good part of the year with standing water on the surface. He stated that he would appreciate the City being careful in exploring stormwater implications and making sure it will work properly. He also noted that it is important to have some type of barrier between the two properties. Mr. Skat moved to continue for 30 days. Mr. Garrett seconded. Mr. Brooks suggested that all parties involved get together and MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 15, 1996 PAGE 5 discuss the drainage problems.

Mr. Marder stated that the City requires the sidewalks regardless of whether it serves a particular development It will serve the neighborhood, and there is an elementary school nearby where children do walk. Mr. Brooks stated that the City of Sanford is in the progress of trying to upgrade all of its communities and that he would hate to see-children walking in the grass. He does not want to see this school being treated any differently. Diane Kramer stated that she did not have any problems with installing the sidewalks and agreed with Mr. Brooks. She stated that they were not asking to not do something that, needs to be done but rather asking for some leeway. She agreed that a sidewalk is needed on Mellonville. The only road they are requesting not to install a sidewalk is on 11th street. She stated that the School. Board is willing to work with the City later to see if the School Board can add one there.

The site's northerly boundary also fronts the remaining segment of Oregon Avenue which connects to State Road 46. Planning Recommendations - Page 1 2. The Seminole Plaza At Seminole Towne Center Conceptual Site Plan is considered to be a Master Plan for the purpose of this Planned Development Project Plan review. The Plan provides for approximately 77,000 square feet of retail sales and service use with almost 400 parking spaces provided. In a letter dated August 8, 1996 from Professional Engineering Consultants, Inc. the applicant requests special area and dimensional requirements involving open space, building setbacks, parking space size, landscape area, curb radius, sign requirements, and fire lane pavement striping.

The following stipulation is contained in Exhibit "2" of the Seminole Properties (Mail) PD, Planned Development Conditions of Approval dated April 9, 1990: "3. Existing Oregon Avenue - In order to prevent unplanned, cut - through traffic patterns detrimental to traffic circulation in and around the proposed development, the intersection of Oregon Avenue at State Road 46 in existence at the date of this writing shall be closed. However, if closing of Oregon Avenue's existing intersection with State Road 46 is not accomplished, access to the Holiday Inn (Exist. Hotel (site in question)) and Stuckey's restaurant (Exist. Retail) parcels from State Road 46 shall be limited to the Proposed Oregon Avenue (Towne Center Boulevard) via a proposed connector road (North Lake Road adjacent to the ACI project) between Parcel Number 2, Retail and Tract D -1, Lake (retention pond) in such manner then such parcels shall be prevented from utilizing the existing Oregon Avenue for ingress /egress to State Road 46.... " The intent of the above language is to prevent a cut - through type of access from State Road 46 to the Mall similar to that proposed by the proposed Seminole Plaza Master Plan. Oregon Avenue's intersection with State Road 46 and proximity to the Interstate 4 off -ramp reflect a substandard situation that does not meet access point spacing requirements. As such, use of that intersection must be discouraged to the maximum extent.
