The Community Development Department Requests That The Planning And Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency Hold A Public Hearing To Consider A Waiver For Northern Oaks, A 35-Lot Single -Family Residential Subdivision. Mr. Christopher Schmidt, Director, Community Development Department introduced himself and Ms. Marla Molina, Senior City Planner, Community Development Department. Presenting the Agenda Item for review, Mr. Schmidt mentioned that an updated Staff Report had been provided to the Board Members and noted, "We had done an initial review through engineering and then we did a second review which came in this morning from CPH, who we outsource to, then the stormwater calculations were adjusted accordingly. That's why we amended our request and the Applicant is agreeable to our recommendation." Ms. Molina spoke on the history of the project, and the rationale for the proposed lot coverage changes. Vice -Chairperson Kevin McCann inquired, "Does it change the number of units on the property?" Ms. Molina responded, "No. The number of units will remain the same, a total max[imum] of thirty-five (35) units." Board Member Michael Ferrante asked if the setbacks would change to which Ms. Molina replied, "The setbacks will not change, it's the lot coverage." Brief discussion followed on setbacks and lot coverage. Chairperson Mah said, "When the two (2) original Waivers were requested back in March, this should have been part of that package..." Mr. Schmidt noted, "...Correct..." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY REGULAR MEETING - OCTOBER 2, 2019 PAGE 4OF6 Continuing, Chairperson Mah added, "Because, in order to build their homes with the setbacks that were requested, they would have needed to increase the lot coverage." Mr. Schmidt stated, "Correct." Discussion followed on Limited Administrative Waivers for a small number of homes. Mr. Dan Edwards, Vice President of Land - Central Florida Division, Dream Finders Homes, 8529 Southpark Circle, #730, Orlando, Florida: spoke briefly about the development and stated, "We're good with the fifty percent (50%)." Board Member Bart Phillips said, "It seems like that property has a lot of problems with water, and there was like a river going through it - has that all been taken care of so we don't have homes falling apart?" Ms. Molina pointed out, "We've had our Engineer take a look at the - floodplain and the stormwater. So, that's what they reviewed today and - also the Final Engineering Plans. So, none of those issues came up with the Engineer today." Board Member Phillips then asked, "So right now, the City's Planning feels that it is comfortable having homes built in some of those locations?" Ms. Molina responded, "Yes." Board Member Phillips then noted seeing some possible drainage problems when passing the site recently. In response to these concerns Mr. Schmidt stated, "The Final Engineering and Site Plan was approved previously. We had them look at the stormwater calc[ulation]s to make sure it could take the capacity of up to fifty percent (SO%), which the Engineers assured us that it could. They submitted that to us. So - the site is in development right now; so there are going to be some issues because not all the infrastructure is locked in stone; but yes, we've been confirmed by the City Engineer that they're good to go with regards to stormwater." In reference to Board Member Phillips' comments, Mr. Edwards mentioned that just recently, a Duke Energy Corporation subcontractor had hit a water main and that the City had responded and resolved the issue.
