Public Hearing - Amendment to Tuscawilla PUD - Change Land Use From
Stable/Pasture to Single Family:
Dorman closed the regular meeting and opened the Public Hearing.
LeBlanc gave his presentation. He stated that this is a 30+ acre parcel
designated at Stable/Pasture. Winter Springs Developnent Corporation is
requesting a change from Stable/Pasture to single family homes which would be
equal or better than the homes in Oak Forest. He stated that in 1981 the
developer asked for a change for this parcel to multi-family and it was
disapproved.
Jack Affelbach, Executive Vice-President of the Winter Springs Developnent
Corporation, was there to speak for the request. He stated that when Winter
Springs Developnent Corporation started to develop the Tuscawilla PUD, certain
areas of the PUD were designated for different things, such as, single family,
mul t i - fami I y, parks, camnercial, also designation of a stable site and a
marina.All this occurred back in the early 1970's. All PUD's have been
designed for flexibility, to be changed based on marketing etc. The original
density planned for Tuscawilla was 12,000 - 14,000 [sic]. OVer the years the
density has changed. The final build out of Tuscawilla will be 5,000 to 6,000
[sic] housing units, which is less than half of the original intention of the
PUD. The location of the stable/pasture area is surrounded by single family
and the catholic church. The single family would be comparable to the single
family homes in Tuscawilla now, and would be bigger lots than in Oak Forest.
Affelbach stated that he sent out a survey to all residents of Tuscawilla and
Oak Forest, which was done by the National List Council. There was a mistake
and two streets were left out; surveys were hand delivered to those two
streets. The survey asked the residents what they would like to see for the
land in question and the totals of the survey are as follows: Single Family
detached Hames - 380; Park, Green Belt, Recreational facility: 158; Churches &:
Shopping: 120; Health Care or Retirement Facility: 73; Stables: 43; a total of
774 residents responded to the survey. Affelbach stated that what he got out
of the survey was that there was not an over whelming objection to a nice
developnent for the parcel of land in question.
Affelbach also stated that in the City's upcaning budget, there was no tax
increase and he felt that that was a result of Tuscawilla.

Dorman asked if there was anyone present to speak for the request.
Mark Sardo, President of the Oak Forest Homeowners Association, was there to
speak for the request. He stated that the Oak Forest Haneowners Association
lends their support to the request.
Dorman asked if there was anyone present to speak against the request.
Erma Sheentact, Jane Farmer, Shir ley Grey, and Don Hamil ton spoke against the
request. They stated that at the time they purchased their property they were
told that the land would stay the way it is and not be develoPed. They all
asked for a continuance of this request; they all stated that this was a change
of zoning and all residents should be notified when a change such as this is
going to occur.
Koch stated that this is not a change of zoning; all Tuscawilla is zoned PUD.
The request is to change the land use designation of one parcel and not a
change of zoning. This is a change to the Master Developnent Plan. This was
advertised in the newspaper 15 days prior to the meeting, stating that there
was a Public Hearing to change the land use for this parcel.
Dorman closed the Public Hearing and reconvened the regular meeting.
There was discussion on the request. The Board discussed whether this request
was consistent with the Master Developnent Plan. Sapori to stated that under
section 44.85.2 ( 2) conmon open spaces means an area of land or water or any
canbination thereof, wi thin the area of a planned unit developnent which is
designated and intended for the use and enjoyment of the residents of the
planned unit developnent in ccmnon. He also stated that under Section 44.85.1
(3) Intent and Purpose of District are to preserve the natural amenities and
environmental assets of the land by encouraging the preservation and
improvement of scenic and functional open space areas.
Sapor i to moved that finding based upon section 44.85. 1 and 44.85. 2 and the
definitions contained therein, that it is inconsistent with the pre-developnent
plan and reccmnends disapproval of the request. Seconded by Hopkins. Vote:
Joshi: nay; Donnelly: nay; Saporito: aye; Hopkins: aye; Dorman: aye. M:Jtion
carried.
There was discussion on mcxiifications of the request. The Board agreed that
this area would eventually be develoPed and it would be the best interest for
the residents in the area for single family homes. There was also discussion
on the impact of traffic on Tuscawilla Road.
Donnelly moved to reconunend approval to the City Ccmnission for developnent to
be consistent with the surrounding area that is presently abutting the
property. Seconded by Saporito. Vote: Sapori to: aye; Hopkins: nay; Dorman:

Discussion of Developnental Standards for Single-Family Residential Zoning-:
Dorman stated that this is a matter that the Board had discussed several months
ago. This is a result of an application to develop property in R-1AA zoning
which was before the Board of Adjustment and was turned down, and from that it
was determined that there was a glitch in the Code side setbacks.
There was discussion on the site standards in the residential zoning. The
Board came to a concensus to recamnend the following:
