Community Development Department - Planning Division Requests That The Planning And Zoning Board Hold A Public Hearing To Consider A PUD (Planned Unit Development) Amendment For Parcel 14 Of The Oviedo Marketplace PUD (Planned Unit Development) (And Development Of Regional Impact - DRI) By The Viera Company. Mr. John Baker, AICP, Senior Planner, Community Development Department introduced this Agenda Item and said, "The Applicant needs to show us that adequate mitigation has been done or will be accomplished before those wetlands can actually be developed." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 3, 2007 PAGE 2 OF9 Mr. Baker said, "We recommend that the P and Z Board (Planning And Zoning Board) recommend to the City Commission Approval of the proposed Amendment subject to the Applicant demonstrating that the wetlands depicted within the fifteen point one (15.1) acres have been mitigated through the appropriate Agencies and the upland buffers have been previously Approved for this Site. Otherwise, they will need to provide the twenty- five foot (25') minimum upland buffer or mitigate for the wetlands. So, we do recommend Approval." Mr. Raphael F. Hanley, Associate Division Counsel, The Viera Company, 7380 Murrell Road, Suite 201, Viera, Florida: spoke briefly about this Parcel Site. Mr. Baker said, "We are not saying that it has not been mitigated - that it is not ready for development - I have not seen the documentation of that." Chairperson Karr asked, "So, you are waiting on documentation?" Mr. Baker said, "Yes." Mr. Rick Merkel, P.E., Principle of Land Development, Professional Engineering Consultants, 200 East Robinson Street, Suite 1560, Orlando, Florida: said, "I brought some of the documentation for the Permits tonight that show the Permits that were granted in evidence that the wetlands were mitigated and signed off by the [St. John's] River Water Management District - but, I have some graphics that I will have to bring or give to you or submit to you separately." Mr. Merkel stated, "The whole 500 acre Parcel at Oviedo Marketplace provided for mitigation for approximately ten (10) acres of wetland impacts globally and that mitigation was completed and accepted by the [St. John's] River Water Management District in - February [20]'06. We have documentation that will provide for that purpose also." Mr. Merkel then said, "When we Permitted the wetland impacts, we also pennitted - wetland preservation map that established the wetland boundaries that defined the perimeter of this piece of property, the developed part of this property. When we went through this process both with the C.O.R.P.S. (United States Army Corps) of Engineers and the [St. John's] River Water Management District, they normally require a secondary upland buffer, but because the property had been agriculturally maintained as a sod field before the project ever developed, they basically waived the secondary buffer requirements and established the wetland limits for the preservation and conservation purposes to be the wetland boundary itself. The secondary impacts of the wetlands were deemed not - buffers that would otherwise protect secondary impacts were not required. And so, the limits of the wetlands - are regulated by the State and so the twenty five foot (25') buffer that John [Baker] speaks about was offset by the mitigation plan approved some years ago." Advisory Board Member Denise Ryser asked, "So, all of [Parcel] 14B is going to be residential?" Mr. Merkel said, "That is correct." Discussion.
