Discussion ensued on the property site. Ms. Furman said, "We think that this sort oflanguage in the Comp [Comprehensive] Plan actually shows that this property is not correctly designated for 'Industrial' - we are adjacent to residential properties right now, and we feel like if an 'Industrial Use' was allowed there, it would lead to the deterioration as your Comp [Comprehensive] Plan mentions of that neighborhood, and we feel like that by changing this to 'Residential' to PUD [Planned Unit Development], we would come back before you with a Concept Plan.

You would get to have a 'Say So' on buffers, on walls, on any kind of plantings - to buffer this 'Residential' from the 'Industrial' or 'Commercial' that is closer to [U.S. Highway] 17-92." Referencing the proposed 'Residential Use', Ms. Furman said, "We would have to come back before you - to rezone this property, so you would get to take a look at exactly what these are going to look like. These gentlemen are in the business of building high quality homes. We have two (2) car garages - that was something that your Staff asked for so that we could try to keep parking off of roads. Amenities would include a preservation of Boat Lake, pools, cabanas and park. The average unit size is sixteen hundred (1,600) square feet. Average unit price - would be around two hundred twenty five thousand dollars ($225,000.00)." Ms. Furman added, "I know schools have been mentioned. We have an agreement with the School Board [Seminole County] that on top of our impact fees for town homes, 1 believe run a little over six hundred dollars ($600.00), we would also pay a contribution per unit in addition to the Impact Fees of a little over twelve hundred dollars ($1,200.00)."
