This was advertised in the Orlando Sentinel. The Planning and Zoning Board have the plans, and Mr. McIntosh is present to further discuss it, if it is the Board's desire. Chairperson Hoffmann asked if adjacent property owners were notified? Mr. LeBlanc answered, "the adjacent property owners were notified; people along the sides, across the highway, the school board, the county, and the people who own this property here, (pointing to the plans). Planning and Zoning Board Meeting Minutes - August 2, 1995 Page 2 There is nothing in the Code that addresses the notification of property owners. It was at the request of the Commission that the abutting property owners be notified. They were notified initially, and no one showed with comments. The county picked up the plans, and offered no comments at this time. Chairperson HotTmann said, ordinarily if there was someone new from the public present, I would ask you to go through in detail everything that you did before; however, Mr. Fernandez was not present, so if you would bring him current as to the plans. Don McIntosh, with Donald W. McIntosh Associates, Inc. - Mr. McIntosh said he is representing the Leffler family, and the Wagner Station P.UD. application before the Board. He explained that he will do a brief overview, and would go through as much detail as the Board would like. /~ The Leffler's own one hundred seventy-seven (177) acres of property that is represented in the plan before the Board this evening. The color rendering of the Master Plan reflects the single- family use in green, the Lake Jesup area in blue, and the dark brown and light brown, represent the miscellaneous S.R. 434 front tracts. We call the S.R. 434 front tracts, "Flexible Land Use" for the purposes of affording the ability to move between different candidate uses on those parcels. The commercial restriction being, Parcel"D" and "c" at the intersection. This intersection, which is a co-intersection with the Winding Hollow subdivision, (an existing single-family subdivision) to the south, will be signalized once warranted. The warrant for that signal cannot be obtained merely with the single-family traffic here. It has been a long standing priority of the City to have that intersection signalized. Chairperson Hoffmann asked Mr. McIntosh if they have obtained any figures from the Department of Transportation, (D.O.T.), as to how many families it will take to place a signal at this intersection? Mr. McIntosh said no, we have been focusing on the planning end of this project for the time being. The next step after zoning would be to move with the final Master Plan, and identify exactly when they would have enough impact. There were previous statements to us, specifically from Mr. Govoruhk, the City Manager, in which they wanted to see buildings, as opposed to plans. So we are now able with this development to move that along. Mr. LeBlanc explained that we have an agreement with the developer of Winding Hollow to pay for the signalization of that area when D.G.T. gives the permission. Chairperson HotTmann said he was just concerned how many homes have to be there before a signal goes in. Planning and Zoning Board Meeting Minutes - August 2, 1995 Page 3 Mr. McIntosh said that our traffic engineer at the time, was looking at that, and we would benefit more by a Commercial Use rather than single-family houses. As a function of this varied use, the single-family uses, multi-family uses, we think a signal will be warranted. We will attempt in the future stages to define exactly when that would take place. The property borders Lake Jesup, an area asset, but is known as a "taxed water body," because it is affected by "over-nutrientazation." There has been frequent agricultural nutrient discharge into the lake. At the very minimum, ironically, the development of those lands around the lake, bringing with it the requirement for predevelopment and postdevelopment stormwater runoff. Balancing, and pollution abatement treatment before discharge of any runoff to the lake, has the effect of increasing the water quality as it relates to the effect of this adjacent property. Wetlands that are adjacent to the lake will be identified during the final design of the project. Permitted consistent with the Water Management District, Core of Engineers, Department of Environmental Protection, and others if applicable. Mr. McIntosh described Tract "A" which is proposed for single-family detached, zero lot line detached, assisted living (including nursing home facilities) and recreation . . . U At this point (about 18-20 minutes into the meeting) the recorder stopped workingU The following are from notes taken by the Recording Secretary. Mr. Stephens wanted to know the lot sizes. Mr. McIntosh said they are proposing (218) residential units, (10) units per acre. Mr. Fernandez asked Mr. McIntosh if the plan will include a "Rails-to-Trails" bike path?

Discussion of abandonment of the railroad. Mr. Lein asked when this would happen.

Mr. Stephens asked if there was going to be sufficient room for sidewalks without encroaching on the railroad, and what did D.O.T. have planned? Mr. McIntosh said that D.O.T. had planned meticulously for sidewalks and the railroad. Discussion of "loop" road in the plan. Mr. Fernandez moved to approve recommendation to the City Commission, the Leffler property as a Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.), and that the Planning and Zoning Board minutes of August 2, 1995 is forwarded to the Commission without prior official approval by the Planning and Zoning Board (rezoning from R-U to P.U.D.).
