MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of 3/1/90 Page 2 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. MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of 3/1/90 Page 3 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 MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of 3/1/90 Page 4 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: John W. and Delores M. Anderson. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that Staff requested that this item be tabled. Mr. Brooks made a motion to table. Seconded by Mr. Dyal. All in favor. Motion carried. The next, item on the agenda was the consideration of the site /engi,neering plan for an addition to the Seminole County Teachers Federal Credit Union located at 2450 Laurel Avenue in a RMOI, Multiple- family Residential, Office and Institutional District. Owner: Seminole County Teachers Federal Credit Union Representative: Richard Adelson. Mr. Sonnenberg read Staff's recommendations into the record: Engineering Department: recommend approval subject to alley paving design and alley parking issue. The Planning, Fire, Utility, Public Works and Zoning MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of 3/1/90 Page 5 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. The next item on the agenda was consideration of the site plan for a laundry and game room use located at 931 -939 West 13th Street in a GC -2, General Commercial District. Owner /representative W. M. Wesley. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that the Engineering Department has 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. Dyal moved to table for lack of representation. Seconded by 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 MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of 3/1/90 Page 6 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. Meeting adjourned at 8:05 P.M. � • r. 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.

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.

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.
