ROLL:
CITY OFFICIALS:
John Hatfield-Chairman, present
Cindy Kaehler-Vice Chairman, present
George Kaplan, present
Richard DeFazio, present
Jacqueline Koch
City Planner
The City Planner advised the Board that John Sunner, City Attorney, has not give a written
opinion on the annexation topic of last meeting. However, he did advise that it would be
more advisable not to annex at the higher zone and just refuse the development permit.
The City Planner went on to state that Mr. Sunner felt it would be better if we drew up
the ordinance as the zone requested and then request a waiver from the County and if they
should deny it then annex at a comparable zone level with the concurrence of the applicant,
so that motions made at the last meeting are valid. Discussion.
REQUEST OF WARREN WILLIAMS FOR APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE
HIGHLANDS SECTION ll, TRACT lA, PATIO HOMES ANTI GARDEN APARTMENTS ON THE EAST SIDE OF
SHEOAH BOULEVARD, NORTH .oF NORTH THIRD STREET.
The City Planner had a visual display indicating the area ~. Williams is requesting for
development. The Planner pointed out to the Board that it should give consideration to
the concept itself, beyond the technical facets. Hugh Harling, President of Harling,
Locklin & Associates, (design engineers on the project) was present to speak on the project.
Also present were Ron Schwartz who is the intended builder for the project, and Tom Dunlap,
the project architect.
Mr. Harling explained that there are deisgned a combination of patio and multi-family home
projects in this particular location. Total units to be built is 102, with 42 patio homes,
and 60 multi-family. The 42 patio homes are to be fee simple, on individual lots. The
60 multi-family units will be abutting the golf course. The entire concept is to come in
at a lower density with a high quality project than the present zoning will allow. The
present zoning will allow 12 units per acre in this particular category. The intended
density is 9.04 per acre total for this project. Discussion.
Mr. Harling stated building will start with the patio homes. Total acreage is six in the
patio homes, with seven units per acre. There are five acres to be apartments with a
density of twelve per acre, this being broken into 5 individual tracts.
DeFazio questioned the buffering. Mr. Harling stated there will be total buffering around
the project, with sewer capacity as no problem, and drainage will tie into the master system
ending up at the golf course. Question by the Board on parking facilities. Mr, Harling
stated there will be open parking in both the patio homes and apartments. Discussion among
the Board members on the parking. Mr. Harling explained that the first reason for the park-
ing in front as designated was for an economic reason, second this is a heavily wooded area
and preserving this was one of the building considerations. Discussion then pursued as to
where visitors would park or over-flow parking, since parking on t~e street is not allowed
in the City.

Mr. Harling explained that the intent is for the roads to be public in this development. The
City Planner elaborated on this by stating that the entrance road will be off North Third
Street, and will eventually come up and connect with Shepard Road (another collector road),
which will connect to North Edgemon; a temporary turn-around will be provided on the new
collector road, which will be extended north as the other tracts are developed. Discussion.
Suggestion was made by Mr. Harling on providing an additional parking space every four
units, spread throughout the project, which would be mulched. The Planner asked who would
own this property. Mr. Harling stated in some areas it would be the City. The City Planner
then stated that the City cannot maintain public parking areas. Discussion. Kaplan
inquired if the Highland Homeowners Association ha,d heen contacted concerning this project.
Mr. Harling stated they have received a letter from the Architectural Review Board, from
Florida Land. Discussion. Mr. Harling stated that between now and December 1st, they will
make some revisions and work with the City staff in trying to alleviate some of the concerns
for additional parking spaces.
Chairman Hatfield moved that the request of Warren Williams be tabled at this time.
Kaehler seconded the motion. Vote; all aye, motion carried.

Site Development Standards. Mr. Hatfield stated that since the City Engineer could not
be present that this topic be postponed. Instead the Board reviewed the existing C-2
