total tract is 27 acres and is proposed for 108 single family lots,
4 units per acre. He said that they are proposing significantly
less than what the current zoning would allow for the property.
Mr. LeRoy asked if the list on modifications included waiving the
recreation fee. Mr. Marder stated that the developer is requesting
that fee be waived, which is in a category of information that the
City Commission will act upon. Mr. Marder said that the Planning
and Zoning commission could make a recommendation to the City
commission if they so desired.
Mr. Dennison asked if this had anything to do with bringing the
homes down into the affordable housing category. Mr. Marder said
"yes". Mr. Miller added that this is one element of information in
line with the Department of Community Affairs which lists different
types of things that would help reduce the cost. The size of homes
will be from 850 square feet up to 1400 The price range has not
been determined as of yet. They hope to bring in starting prices
below $60,000.
Mr. LeRoy asked if most of the things on Mr. Miller's request list
will have to be granted by City Commission. Mr. Marder said "yes,
particularly the construction/ engineering type requirements." Mr.
Miller is asking the Planning and Zoning Commission to vote on the
first page of his request. Mr. Speer clarified that the Planning
and Zoning Commission will be acting on page 1 only, items 1
through 5.
Mrs. Stairs moved to approve based on Staff's recommendations to
include the modifications on page 1, items 1 through 5. seconded
by Mr. Brooks. Mr. LeRoy asked if the 100' lot size is approved,
what kind of precedent will be set:. Mr. harder stated that this
size reflects sizes that are similar to other developments and
densities that have been approved i.e. the lot width on the Hidden
Lake Townhouses turned into single family; and the proposal in the
Lake Placid area are also similar in size. Mr. Marder stated that
for the basic content of the development, it is reasonable. The
density is less than one would have in multiple family development.
All in favor of the motion. Motion carried.
The next item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to
consider a request for a Conditional Use for property located at
718 E. 7th Street in a SR -1, Single Family Residential zoning

Clara Farmer, 1115 Paul St., Orlando, stated that they would like
to change the building to a christian learning center. The purpose
is to help children develop for elementary school. At the end of
the child's 4 years at this center, they will be able to read.
Tutorial will be of all students, from elementary to college
students. Ms. Farmer stated that she has talked to the neighbors
surrounding the property and they are all for it. Mr. Dennison
asked if there will be any renovations. Ms. Farmer said "yes, HRS
rules will have to be followed." She will be getting information

and tell her what is needed. Ms. Farmer stated that at the most
there will be 65 children. Each child is required to have a
certain amount of space inside the facility.

believes there is plenty of room for entrance and exiting on French
Avenue.
Dick Dove, owner and seller of the property, stated that he has
been at this location for 24 years. He got a variance to set the

Commission approved it. He asked if the Commission granted

Mr. Speer stated that so many people are working on automobiles

automobiles because general motors have everything on computers. So
the shade tree mechanics come in and try to work in buildings that

locations. The new Land Development Regulations are structured so
the Planning and Zoning Commission will be the Board of Adjustment

sided. He presented the Commission with a schedule consisting of
holding workshops from here on out.

would like to establish another location. He does not feel it is
appropriate to go into GC -2 zoning but rather into an industrial
area. Mr. Teasdale would like the City to put this into the new
Land Development Regulations. Mrs. Sonnenberg requested the
Commission to please consider this use during its review of the
Land Development Regulations.
Mr. Speer moved to approve the minutes as circulated. seconded by

present time. Site fronts Sanford Avenue.
2. Site is adjacent to unincorporated area to the south which includes single
family residentially zoned and used land. To the east the site is adjacent to
an RI -1, Restricted Industrial Zone which contains an industrial building
(electrical supply) and vacant land. Site is adjacent to fragmented City and

residential land uses. The Seminole County Expressway is being constructed

3. The City's Comprehensive Plan designation is proposed to be Medium Density
Residential - 15, i.e., up to 15 dwelling units per acre. The overall density
being proposed per the preliminary subdivision is 4 dwelling units per acre.
Therefore the proposed preliminary subdivision plan is consistent with density
and intensity standards in the Comprehensive Plan and complies with zoning.
4. The proposed subdivision is intended to be classified as "affordable housing"
from the standpoint that the dwellings will be sold for prices and to buyers
that meet accepted criteria for affordable housing in the Orlando Urban Area.
The Preliminary Subdivision Plan reflects requests by the applicant to waive
certain provisions of the City's subdivision requirements to permit narrower
rights -of -way and other construction - related requirements such as 4' instead
of 5' sidewalks. In accordance with " Standards for Consideration of a
Waiver. contained in the Land Development Regulations, the waivers
requested are being requested under the auspices of the Housing Element's
Goals Objectives and Policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan related to
the provision of affordable housing. Such waivers are considered by the
Administrative Official after review by the Plans Review Committee made up
of City staff.
5. Impact upon water, sewer, drainage, solid waste, traffic, and recreation
facilities has been tested based on 108 dwelling units and an estimated 285
persons anticipated. Sufficient capacity is available for all services. However,
it is noted that impact upon Sanford Avenue results in 99% of capacity. It is
further noted that capacity of Sanford Avenue will be almost doubled when
it is 4 -laned which is scheduled to commence within three years according to
the Seminole County Capital Improvement Program.
6. Recommend approval of the conditional use request to establish an affordable
housing development pursuant to the Monroe Meadows Preliminary
Subdivision Plan based upon consistency with the Housing Element of the
Comprehensive Plan, adequacy of facilities and services and general
compatibility with residential uses already established in the immediate area.
