R. 419. Mayor Piland recessed the Commission Meeting and convened the public hearing for purposes of hearing public input on the appeal by Mr. Carter. Mr. Carter was sworn in and spoke for the Appeal. Mr. Carter stated that he has 5 acres of commercially zoned property on S.R. 419. Staff recommended against it because Sec. 5-113 requires that outdoor advertising signs be at least 500 feet from residential property.

The City Planner explained that in November and December the Planning & Zoning Board ~-~....", . . . ...,....~w,"'~..,,' ',""",__~',,,"~,.~""'."''!:lI1IP'i .""--~::-:-T'---'--'---'--<'-'''~''''-',",-"-"'O,..,,,,- ~ ~ '.- Regular Meeting, City Commission, Jan. 12, 1982 Page 2 81-82-7 considered requests for six amendments to the Tuscawilla Planned Unit Development. Two requests were to redesignate school sites; one was near S. R. 419 and one was on Trotwood. The School Board'was shown these two properties in March and at that time they indicated that they did have an interest in one site; however, in December the School Board said they did not want that site either. Since the School Board is not interested in either of the two sites it is necessary to reassign the land use of these two sites. The Planning & Zoning Board approved Site 1 to be incor- porated into the surrounding single family area; the other school site was about 14 acres. About two acres was added to the park site and the remaining acreage was changed to condominium at a maximum density of 12 units per acre. The Zoning Board found that consistent; basically in that it is across the street from much larger condominium project. The third request was to change the pasture site to condominium and that request the Board did find inconsistent and a public hearing is scheduled for January 26, 1982. Area 4 was originally a commercial site; at the suggestion of the City the commercial site was relocated. The reason for this relocation was that originally this area designated single family was adjacent to county agricultural property.However, when the property was annexed into Oviedo it was rezoned commercial which created a land use conflict between commercial and single family. To alleviate that and also to allow the City to participate in a large commercial development on S.R. 426 this was approved by the Planning & Zoning Board to be commercial. Area 4 was then re- designated condominium at a maximum density of 12 units per acre. It is adjacent to other condominium areas . - Tuscany Place and the Tennis Villas, and future condominium sites. Area 6 results from a re-location of Winter Springs Boulevard and the elimination of the southern part of Northern Way. By eliminating that road, the developer is requesting to include this area with the condominium that had existed on the west side leaving single family on the east side. This is approximately 70 acres. The configuration of Winter Springs Boulevard is slightly to the west of the way that it was. The reason for wanting condominiums in this area is that the current housing market is more toward the condominium type development and the Planning & Zoning Board found that condominiums in this area would be consistent surrounded on two sides by other condominium developments and near to the large commercial area. Mr. Art Barr and Mr. Charles True, representatives of Winter Springs Development Corporation both spoke for the proposed changes. Mayor Piland read the two letters of appeal. One letter was from Mr. John Hatfield and one letter was from Mr. Arthur Harris. Mr. Hatfield and Mr. Harris both spoke to the Commission requesting a public hearing on the changes to the Tuscawilla Planned Unit Development. Motion was made by Commissioner Hartman that we hold a public hearing on determining the merits of the amendments to the Tuscawilla Planned Unit Development plan for changes 2 and 4.
