Planning & Zoning Board Recommendations of Oct. 26, 1983:
Request of U.S. Home Corp. and Mary L. Johnson, property owner, to rezone 42 acres
from R-T to R-3 on west side of S.R. 419 adjacent on south to Indian Woods.
Jacqueline Koch explained that by the City's R-T ordinance the minimum size for a
mobile home park is 50 acres; therefore, this separate parcel zoned R-T is not
actually large enough for a mobile home park. This was one of the questions that
was looked into in the revision of the City's comprehensive plan last year, and
the P&Z Board suggested, and the Commission approved to redesignate the land use of
these 42 acres to a higher density to allow for multi-family. The current request
is in line with that recommendation. The applicant indicates they wish to build a
patio home development. They will be required to petition the Board of Adjustment
for a side setback exception to have a zero lot line development. The Planning &
Zoning Board recommends approval and as this is in line with the adopted land use
plan it requires no amendment to that plan.
Motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs that we approve the applicant's request.
Seconded by Commissioner Linville. Discussion. Vote on the motion: Commissioner Jacobs,
aye; Commissioner Grove, aye; Commissioner Hartman, aye; Commissioner Adkins, aye;
Commissioner Linville, aye; motion carried.

Street lights.
Miss Koch explained this request was tabled pending the resolution of the question
of street lights, which is now resolved. There were four conditions on that
approval. Two of those have been resolved and one is agreed upon. The only thing
that remains to be done is to word the dedication on the plat of the existing
section of Winter Springs Boulevard so that the City dedicates only the right-of-
way that it has since it does not have fee simple title to that property.
Motion was made by Commissioner Hartman that we accept the recording of plat of
Tuscawil1a Units 12 and 13 subject to the City Planner's letter dated October 11, 1983
which has those four stipulations. Seconded by Commissioner Jacobs. Discussion. Vote
