New Business .^ A) Sanlando (Button) Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment SM-CPA-1-97 The Chair announced that the board will be recognized as the Local Planning Agency for Item (A). There was no response from the members regarding ex-parte communications. Sanlando is the applicant on the Button property, and they are requesting a small scale comprehensive plan amendment involving a change of future land use designation from the County's Suburban Estates to the City's Lower Density Residential. This is as result of the applicants request for annexation. The applicants purpose is to bring the property into the city for water and sewer, and to develop a single family residential subdivision as R- I A. The property is located at the SW corner of Orange Ave and Tuskawilla Road. Grimms gave his educatior.lllemployment background per the request of the Chair. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD/LPA JANUARY 2, 1997 - REGULAR MEETING PAGE 2 OF 5 Grimms read the findings and staff recommendation from an agenda item attachment. Lein wanted to know why the board is being asked to take a piece of property in the town center and make it residential. Grimms said that he considered the land uses of the surrounding properties. There is residential to the north, and a soon-to-be developed residential community adjacent to the subject parcel. There are no plans for Tuskawilla Road to be widened to four lanes north of S.R. 434, or for Orange Avenue to be upgraded. Lein asked if mixed use would be better instead of lower residential. Grimms estimated that there isn't a lot that can be done with 9.9 acres in terms of mixed use. Stephens asked about the lnd to the north of the subject parcel. Grimms stated that the land north of Orange Avenue is low density residential, and beyond that is conservation area all the way to the lake. The subject property is presently designated by the County Suburban Estates which is one dwelling unit per acre. A couple of Orange Avenue residents have stated their opinions and objections to Grimms. PVD zoning was also mentioned. There aren't any wetlands, but the developer may have to bring in dirt for packing, and it's not within the 100 year floodplain area. Doug Maze, 308 Apair Avenue, Longwood, is applying for what he thinks is the best use for the property. He is buying the property from the Buttons. Motion: Accept the land use designation from it's current designation which is County Suburban to Low Density Residential with the maximum of3.5 dwelling units per acre with the findings of the land developer and the recommendations of this board. Motion by Hoffmann. Second by Brown. Vote: Lein, nay; Fernantlez, aye; Stephens, aye; Brown, aye; Hoffmann, aye. Motion passed 4 to I. .' B) Sanlando (Button) Rezoning REZ-1-97 Fernandez stated that this is the same parcel of property as in Item A. The applicant is requesting a change of zoning from Agricultural to R-I A (single family dwelling district, 800 sq. ft. minimum). Part III (Findings) and Part IV of the staff report are incorporated herein by reference only. Grimms said he called FDOT, and they don't seem to have a problem with it. Item II (D) of the staff report should be corrected to read: The proposed rezoning would be compatible.. . Maze said the homes are in the $150,000 to $190,000 price range, and similar to the homes in Winding Hollow. He estimates that it will be 2.7 units per acre. The access will be off of Tuskawilla MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD/LPA JANUARY 2, 1997 - REGULAR MEETING PAGE 3 OF 5 Road. There will be a homeowner's association, and public roads. The portion of the development along Orange Avenue will have a brick or landscaped wall in order to keep the rural character for the neighboring residence. Maze said that he is not aware of any lake privileges. A large portion of the buffer between the property and the high school is the retention pond, and the trees along the lot line will be kept. Motion: The Planning and Zoning recommends to the City Commission the staffs recommendations for the LPA to recommend approval of the Sanlando Land Inc. for city zoning designation ofR-1A on the 9.9 acre parcel based on the findings indicated in the submitted data for the P & Z Board agenda item on REZ-I-97.
