by Seminole County Board of Realtors - 2 acres on north side of Shepard Rd. between
US 17-92 and the Highlands - Request for Commercial land use classification to permit
C-l z.oning:
Koch gave her presentation. She stated that the Board of Realtors property is zoned
M-l-A in the county. The Board needs to decide the proper City land use in accord-
ance with our land use map and the City's goals. The property has an existing building
and the applicants would like to expand with an auditorium. The use of the property
is in accordance with the City's C-l zoning and we recommend to add this tOQur land
use map as Commercial and to our zoning map as C-l.
Barbara Miller represented the Board of Realtors. She stated that they want to add
an auditorium and pave the parking lot. She also stated that they can get water service
from the City. They will not change the use of the building and will not increase the
traffic flow.
James Stacher was there to speak on the request. He stated that he would like the
Board to consider the impact that this would have if the owners later on would decide
to sell the property. He was also concerned about the traffic that would be generated
from the business.
Miller stated that the only changes that will be made are the addition of an auditorium
and paving of the parking lot which will relocate the driveway to align with Wildwood Dr.
Smedley adjourned the Public Hearing and reconvened the regular session to act on this
matter.

FULr.,.,.SCALE AMENDMENTS TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, LAND USE ELEMENT - FUl'URE LAND USE MAP:
Item 1>.4. Request to Amend Land Use Classification of Property Owned by IGA Holding
Company - 92 Acres on East Side of Fisher Road - Request for Low Density Residential
Land Use Classification to Permit R-lAAA Zoning:
Koch gave her presentation. She stated that th.is property is located east of Fisher
Road and was formerly known as Horseshoe Acres. We are dealing with 92 acres of the
original 165 acres. The request is for 2 units per acre. The only zoning the City
has that is near that is the R-lAAA zoning, with 20,000 square foo~ lots. It does
not a.pecify a minimum living area, and I recommend that the Board propose an ordinance
to establish a minimum living area before any potential rezoning be passed. The
change from one acre lots would require an amendment to the Land Use Map. The applicant
is asking a change from rural density of 1 unit per acre to low density of 2.2 units
per acre.
Smedley asked if there was anyone present to speak for or against this request.
The following people spoke against the request. Susie Reid, Neil Trautman, Carl
Steven, Bob Guskiewicz, Gordon Pierce, Carol Alvon, Dick Maguire, Sam Muskgrove,
and Harry Reid.
John Garlic spoke in behalf of the developer. He stated that the developer was not
going to change the concept or the nature of the land. There would be approximately
90to 95 units in the 92 ac!:e parcel. He stated that this will not be another run-
of-the-mill development, the prices will range from $130,000 to $180,000 per home.
He also stated that I acre lots would be economically unfeasible, 1 acre lots would
end up with 40 to 45 units on the total parcel.
Norman Cutson, the developer, stated that there would be a complete study done by
the Seminole County Hea1J.th Department to determine the usable acreage. He stated
that half acre lots are consistent with the area. He stated that he is willing to
work with the City Staff to keep the lots as big as possible. There will be few
streets, to keep the area as natural as possible. He stated again that this will
be a nice project and will work hand-in-hand with the City Staff and Engineer to do
anything to enhance the land.
There was discussion on the usable acreage. Garlic stated that there is only 60
usable acres due to the power easement and the effluent fields.
Smedley stated that the Board needs to consider whether this property should be re-
zoned to low density of 2.2 units per acre, is the land use consistent with the
surrounding area. He stated that the Board will reconvene the Regular Session.
Hartman made the motion to recommend denial of the request to rezone the 92 acre parcel
located on the east side of Fisher Road for low density residential land use classifica-
tion to permit R-lAAA zoning. He also stated for the record that he is a landowner
on Fisher Road and is opposed to the request of half-acre lots.
