Whittington Property - Request for approval of PUD Master Plan and Final Development Plan (3.8 Acres, Single-Family Homes): LeBlanc gave his presentation. He stated that the property is south of the Church and adjacent to Tuscawilla Unit 5. The property is zoned PUD and is not part of Tuscawilla. He stated there is a letter from the City Attorney. It is a mystery as to how this property was zoned PUD, but the plan is to construct three homes on the property, which is compatible with the surrounding area and Staff has no negative findings. The Attorney states that the Staff is concerned that the persons seeking to develop the property may be required to comply with the re- quirements of a large PUD when this would be inappropriate as this property is only 3.8 acres. The Attorney stated in his letter that the Staff is correct and total compliance is not required. Koch stated that the property was annexed into the City a long time ago and has always been shown as PUD on the City's Official Zoning Map. Winter Springs Develop- ment Corp. has nothing to do with this property. The only development directly affected is Tuscawilla Unit 5 and Tuscawilla Trail, the private access to Unit 5. LeBlanc stated that the road in question is platted with the Whittington property and a letter would not be needed from the Unit 5 Homeowners Association. Dr. Semano, one of the owners of the Whittington property, was there to speak for the request. He stated that they want to divide the property into three lots and develop each lot with a single-family home. There was discussion on the request. Torcaso moved to approve the request. Seconded by Hopkins. Vote: All aye. Motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 8:25 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Margo Hopkins, Recording Secretary Planning and Zoning Board
