RE:
Mount Greenwood, PUD
DATE:
April 26, 1985
On Thursday morning April 25, 1985 the Staff reviewed the first four
phases of the Mount Greenwood PUD.
Phases I and II are 75 single family dwelling units with a density of
2.82 units per acre. The intent and design is to make there homes comparable to
the R-IA zoning across Hayes Road.
The roads in these phases are to be dedicated and are 26 feet wide
with 40 foot radius cul-de-sacs. Hydrants, and buffering (25 feet thick in natural
growth) are within code requirements. Also as with the R-IA zoning district. at
least one of the two required parking spaces will be behind the building line.
Setbacks in this single family area will also follow the R-IA standard.
Along tracts 1 and 2 tract 6. the recreation tract for the single family units
will be developed. This presently consists of a softball field. gravel parking for
20 cars and a basketball court. The tot lot/playground equipment area has yet to
be designed, further, no bleachers or seating has yet been provided.
There are several areas of concern in tracts 3 and 4. These are multi-
family tracts of townhomes to be sold fee simple. There are to be 172 units develop-
ed at a density between 9 and 10 units per acre. Both are slightly over density as
tract 3 was to have been 7.60 and is actually 7.76 and tract 4 was to have been
9.24 and is 9.27 units per acre. However, the number of units is correct.
The number of parking spaces in the tracts is adaquate and the detail
shows a size of 10 x 18 with a two foot overhang. There are no handicapped spaces
at this time. This is to be corrected.
Tract 4 does not have an ammenities complex as was proposed by the
developer to be in each tract of multi-family development. Realize that the
developer will have approximately 250 families in the PUD with the finish of
these the first 4 phases and no place to hold a home owners association meeting.
The Staff has requested a club house to be added to this phase with adaquate parking
to provide this service as well as indoor recreation for this section of the PUD.
As the building will belong to the home owners association, itself being part of
the master association, a clubhouse will be of benefit to all.

With tract 3 the swimming pool has only 5 parking spaces provided to
serve 175 families, 97 of which live across the spine road and will probably drive.
The Staff recommends that spaces be increased.
The parking area also needs to be stabilized with asphalt or at least
a turf blocked surface to insure that the presently proposed mulch does not run
into the pool, The pool size seems adaquate.
The garbage retention areas are to be enclosed in block on 3 sides
with a wooden gate across the front. This will be noted on the plan. The developer
will also be placing a bermed hedge as a buffer/wall along the spine road between
the road and the multi-family units. The Commission may want this in block or brick.
The Staff can see problems with a landscaped wall, however, the Staff also wants
to preserve and maintain as much natural landscaped material as possible.
Internal sidewalks, as well as the external sidewalk along Hayes Road
will either be shown or noted in the final plans. The sidewalks in both phases may
require additional consideration. This has been an area of much subjective thinking
in the past. It will be up to the Commission as to whether or not additional
sidewalks are to be added. The sidewalk for the spine road is already noted.
Street signs, and traffic signs will be provided with the final
engineering as will the lighting plan. (Florida Power Corporation is presently
working on the system.)
The City Engineer recommended approval for the drainage system, a
dedicated easement to be given from the spine road to the detention and retention
areas in tract 10. An easement will also need to be granted then vacated by the
Commission for tracts 1 and 3 to utilize the lift station in tract 9 before tract
9 or the lift station is dedicated to the City.
There are a few areas of concern in the sewer and water system
to be corrected in the final engineering. With these corrections Winter Springs
Water & Sewer may accept the sewer system. Winter Springs Water & Sewer also
recommends that all development of the raoid infiltration basins be comoleted
prior to the issuance of building permits in order to restrict the type of
development sprawl as was seen at Seville on the Green.
The developer is asking to amend the time restrictions on a planned
unit development before the case.
Staff has recommended that the developer begin with the spine road,
infrastructure improvements and the rapid infiltration basins to start. Then after
these improvements have been accepted, to proceed with the final development plans
for the first four phases, thus the waiver of the time restriction on a PUD.
This will allow the developer a chance to generate profits in the early develop-
ment stages however will only generate more work for the City Staff.
