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. . .
