The next item on the agenda was a Public Hearing to consider a
Conditional Use for property located at the intersection of Lake
Mary Boulevard and Rolling Hills Boulevard in a MR -3 Multiple -
family Residential District, for the purpose of establishing a
minimum parcel area and setbacks in conformity with a preliminary
subdivision plan. Owner: Lennar Homes; representative: Thomas M.
Trainer.
Mr. Tom Daly of Bowyer Singleton, 530 S. Magnolia Ave., was present
and stated that he would be representing Lennar Homes. At this
point, Mr. Daly passed out photographs of townhomes that had been
constructed by Lennar Homes in Orange County. Mr. Daly stated that
they are presently developing in Orange County and Casselberry.
The townhomes will sell between $40,000 and $60,000. The townhomes
will be arranged in a courtyard fashion and all buildings are
attached. The developer would like to plat and sell separately.
They would like to sell the land as well as unit.
Ms. Stairs asked if they were developing in Casselberry yet. Mr.
Daly said that they are developing in Orange County now. In
Casselberry they are in the approval and final engineering process.
Mr. Marder stated that this is the first time that we have
exercised a conditional use approval in the Land Development
Regulations based on a preliminary subdivision plan. The
preliminary subdivision plan has to be approved with the
conditional use.
Mrs. Sonnenberg read Staff's recommendations into the record:
Engineering: Recommend for approval subject to final
engineering drawings and final developer's agreement with City
on all areas of concern.
Fire: O.K. with 12 -inch water line to Airport Blvd. for Phase
1.
Planning: O.K. subject to additional engineering stipulations
and developer's agreement per City /developer responsibilities.
Police: O.K.
Public Works: recommend approval with private streets and
storm system.
Utilities: water and sewer systems to be private inside
project. Inclusion of water line extension cost in
developer's agreement needs to be approved.

Zoning: recommend approval of preliminary plat only. On -site
inspection required prior to tree removal.
Mr. Daly stated that he had talked with the Engineering Department
and they had no problem. The Fire Department has a written
response as to the construction of the water line. As to the
Planning Department, Mr. Daly understand that the City Planner has
recommended approval with regards to developer's agreement
including the special assessment district. A proposal has been
given to City staff regarding off -road utilities and roads with no
response yet. Mr. Daly also stated that they have agreed with the
Public Works Department as to the private street but nothing has
been decided as to the stormsystem. They would like to dedicate
the water and sewer systems to city because they do not want to add
additional cost to buyers.
Chairman Morris noted the discrepancies with recommendations.
Mr. Simmons stated that the Utility Director was under the
assumption that the water and sewer systems would remain private.
The Utility Director is not adamantly opposed to them becoming
public but the developer would have to have a blanket easement for
utility maintenance. The Preliminary Plat considerations do not
have to be resolved tonight. The notes on the final plat would
reflect the final decision. The City has difficulty accepting the
idea that the storm sewer system should not go along with streets.
Streets are not being designed to City standards. The City should
not agree to accept the storm drain system. The fire protection
would have to be resolved in terms of fire flow. If off site
improvements are required that are fire driven, a special
assessment district would not be particularly germane. However,
this would be a separate issue with a number of property owners
agreeing. The Special Assessment issue might give us a problem
with a near term special assessment ordinance at the north end of
Americana Blvd. The north end of the right -of -way is encumbered by
Expressway reservation. It is difficult to create a special
assessment district until the right -of -way of Americana Blvd. is
resolved, all the way through to the Airport. Mr. Simmons
recommended that Planning hnd Zoning move forward with approval
with preliminary plat subject to staff conditions recognizing that
these conditions are not resolved at this time.
Mr. Speer asked if another entrance could be made for this plan.
Mr. Simmons stated that there had been several discussions of an
emergency entrance to the north out onto Americana Blvd., along the

drainage easement. There is great difficulty with Seminole County
allowing another curbcut. Staff would not recommend another
curbcut. Seminole County looks at this as a collector road.
Mr. Speer stated that this was a bad plan as to egress and ingress.
Mr. Daly stated that his client is willing to accept responsibility
of storm system. Egress and ingress could be addressed with
Seminole County at final engineering review. The developer is
ready to go ahead with special assessment district.
Mr. Speer made note of the problem with Hidden Lakes, one entrance
and one exit. The traffic coming out of this subdivision will be
more than 700 cars. Staff should get in touch with Seminole County
and figure out why another access can not be put in, 300 feet
separation is certainly reasonable.
Mr. Brooks moved on approval subject to staff conditions and to
revisit the setbacks along Lake Mary Blvd. Seconded by Mr. Leroy.
Mr. LeRoy''made a motion to amend Mr. Brooks motion to include the
buffer along Lake Mary Blvd. Amended motion seconded by Brooks.
Mr. Morris stated that 100' beyond the right -of -way for building
setbacks. Mr. Speer, Mr. Keith, and Mr. Dyal opposed to the
motion. Mr. Speer, Mr. Keith and Mr. Dyal opposed to the motion as
amended. Motion carried as amended.
The next item on the agenda was Public Hearing to consider a
Conditional Use for Property in a MR -2, Multiple - Family Residential
District, located at 1601 W. 11th Street for the purpose of an
expansion, of a non - conforming structure. Owner /representative:

tabled. Mr. Brooks made a motion to table. Seconded by Mr. Dyal.
All in favor. Motion carried.

site /engi,neering plan for an addition to the Seminole County
Teachers Federal Credit Union located at 2450 Laurel Avenue in a

Departments all recommend approval.
Richard Adelson, 804 N. Fletcher Avenue, Clearwater, was present as
the representative.
Mr. Adelson stated that one parking lot had pervious concrete, and
that they plan to remove the pervious concrete and pave entire area
with asphalt. Retention pond is designed to perc. Whatever water
was percing through the ground as result of pervious pavement will
be directed to the retention pond.
Chairman Morris asked if there would be auctions for repo' ed autos.
Mr. Adelson stated that the client had in the past had sales which
take place once a year, on -site or at a rental business. Larry
Taylor will sell vehicles off the lot by bids.
Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that whether an auction or auto sales, the
use had never been approved as wholesale use for selling cars on
this property.
Mr. Brooks made a motion to approve with staff recommendations.
Seconded by LeRoy. All in favor. Motion carried.

recommended for approval subject to final engineering and joint
access. The Public Works, Utility, Fire, and Police Departments
recommend approval. Recommend approval subject to above
recommendations by the Director of Engineering and Planning.

Mr. LeRoy. All in favor.
Motion carried.
Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that the rezoning request on Park Avenue was
affirmed by City Commission. Brantley beer and wine consumption on
premises was approved.
Mr. Speer stated that the ingress and egress for fire protection
for a project near Jewett Lane and Airport Blvd. included an all
weather circular road around the warehouses for protection. It was
required to be a limerock stabilized road for fire truck use for
emergency. The Lennar Preliminary Plan called for approval of for
1,000 people. This is a congested area, a third of the project

would be wiped out before fire trucks get in there. Some
considerations should be given to another ingress /egress for this
project.
Mr. Simmons stated that the issues at hand have been addressed by
fire marshall relative to life safety code, ingress and egress, and
indicated satisfaction in totality. The north end of project
could be used for emergency ingress /egress. The Fire Marshall
called the shot on the project on Albright Road. If the Expressway
doesn't happen then would say to loop the road to Americana Blvd.
Two out of three property owners need the road on Americana Blvd.
The City is requiring the developer to provide connection of
northerly portion of his development with Americana Blvd.
Mr. Leroy stated that the Geneva Gardens property owners installed
lights on telephone polls which interfere with drivers on 46A. Ask
them to pull them in or put shields on them. Also, Sailpointe
Apartments are allowing automobiles to be parked on the right -of-
way, not in the parking lot.

FROM THE SANFORD CITY PLANNER
Ft--bruar 2 3 1.990
TO: City of Sanford Planning and Zoning Commission
SUBJECT: Planning Recommendations for Meeting of March 1, 1990
LENNAR HOMES, INC. - Request for conditional use approval and preliminary
subdivision plan approval to permit the establishment of site - specific
dimensional standards in an MR-3, Multiple Family Residential Zone for
property located on the north side of Lake Mary Boulevard between U.S. 17/92
and Sanford Avenue.
NOTE: This request was tabled at the Planning and Zoning
Commission's meeting of October 5, 1989.
1A. Site is Zoned MR -3, Multiple Family Residential, is presently vacant and
fronts Lake Mary Boulevard.
1B. Preliminary Subdivision Plan titled Carriage Cove North and dated
November 11, 1989 with revisions received by the City of Sanford
Department of Engineering and Planning on February 15, 1990 reflects a
total of 69.15 acres with 318 dwellings proposed.
2. The site fronts two unimproved rights -of -way, Rolling Hills Boulevard
and Americana Boulevard. Travel demand from anticipated development
will be oriented towards convenience shopping on Orlando Drive,
especially towards the Walmart /Publix stores. Therefore, while not
essential to the functioning of this proposed development, improved
local access from the site to such convenience goods and services would
reduce traffic on major arterial and intersections, i.e., Lake Mary
Boulevard and U.S. 17/92 - Orlando Drive as well as provide a more
convenient neighborhood circulation pattern for future residents of the
development.
It is noted that the Preliminary Subdivision Plan reflects the developer
constructing the portion of Rolling Hills Boulevard from Lake Mary
Boulevard to the site entrance. The developer will construct a second
northerly access road to Americana Boulevard when the latter is
constructed and Phase 4 of the development is constructed.
Planning Recommendations for Meeting of March 1, 1990

The developer, City staff and other adjacent property owners have met on
various occasions to implement a special assessment district to
construct Americana Boulevard and Rolling Hills Boulevard. The
developer has generally been supportive of such a method to equitably
construct these transportation improvements.
3. City water and sewer service and capacity are available.
4. MR -3, Multiple Family Residential Zone permits up to 20 dwelling units
per acre which would provide for over 1,000 dwelling units for the site
in question. Proposed development is approximately 25% of maximum
allowable density.
5A. Recommend approval of conditional use and preliminary subdivision plan
based on:
1. Compatibility with multiple family development anticipated for
site.
2. Availability of services.
5B. Also, based on anticipated traffic patterns, recommend that the approval
be conditioned as follows:

assessment district to construct remaining portions of Americana
