WmTEMARK AL TERA TION TO FOX GLEN AT CHELSEA P ARC AT TUSCA WILLA, PHASE II FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN PER LOTS 120, 121, 122, 123 STAFF REPORT APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY: Sec. 20-359. Alterations to the Final Development Plan. (a) Any request for an alteration, revision, addition or deletion to the final development plan shall be submitted to the City Clerk for review by the Planning and Zoning Board. The Board shall review the request and make finding of fact as to whether the proposal constitutes a change in the preliminary development plan also. If so, the request must first be processed according to section 20-358. If not, the Board shall review the proposal and the staff recommendations to determine whether or not the proposed change is substantially consistent with the approved final development plan. If the proposal is determined to be consistent, the Planning and Zoning Board may approve or approve with modifications the proposed change. (b) If the proposal is determined not to be substantially consistent with the approved final development plan, the Board shall forward to the City Commission a recommendation for approval, approval with modifications, or denial of the request, stating their reasons for such action. The Commission shall then review the proposal and the recommendations of the staff and the Planning and Zoning Board and either approve, approve with modifications, or deny the request stating their reasons for such action. 1. BACKGROUND: . APPLICANT: Hugh Harling Harling, Locklin & Associates OWNER: Whitemark Homes, Inc. (property owner for Lots 120, 121, 122, 123 under consideration in Fox Glen at Chelsea Pare, Tuscawilla, Phase II. REQUEST: For the Planning & Zoning Board to: (1) determine that the change is substantially consistent with the approved final development plan. (2) approve or approve with modifications the proposed change. PURPOSE: . Whitemark Builders, the developer of the property is requesting a variance to the current rear yard setbacks from 20 feet to 15 feet for Lots 120 through 123. The reduction in setback is requested in order to compensate for a 5 foot difference in lot depth in lots 120 - 123 as compared to the other lots within the development. The 5 foot difference in lot depth, from 103 feet to 98 feet prevents the builder from constructing the standard homes as provided elsewhere in the development. The inability to construct a house comparable to the other homes in the development would create an extreme hardship on the developer. PROPERTY: Location: Fox Glen at Chelsea Parc in the Tuskawilla PUD is located on the south side of Winter Springs Blvd. just east of Greenbriar Lane. Specifically, Lots 120 through 123 are located on Fox Glen Court.

Chelsea Parc Phase IT (formerly Braewick) at TuscaWilla preliminary meeting with Development Review Committee. Commission approved the Final Engineering for Chelsea Parc (formerly Braewick) at Tuscawilla. Chelsea Parc at Tuscawilla Phase IT Final Plat approved by Commission Development Review Committee reviews Fox Glen - Phase II Final Engineering Plans. Development Review Committee reviewed Fox Glen Phase II - Final Engineering. City Commission approved the Final Engineering of Fox Glen- Phase II, Chelsea Parc at Tuscawilla. City Commission approved the recordation of the Final Plat and the supplemental covenants for Fox Glen at Chelsea Parc Phase IT. City Commission accepts the improvements as having been constructed per the approved Final Engineering Plans at Fox Glen Phase II Chelsea Parco No monies from the City are required. II. CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The Final Plat of Fox Glen at Chelsea Parc, Tuscawilla Phase II (Plat Book 55, Page 38) indicates a 20 foot rear yard setback. . . . . 2. The Declaration of Conditions, Covenants, Easements and Restrictions for Chelsea Parc at Tuscawilla and the First Amendment to The Declaration of Conditions, Covenants, Easements and Restrictions for Chelsea Parc at Tuscawilla do not discuss setbacks. 3. Article XIV Section 3 "Compliance with City Code" in The First Amendment to The Declaration of Conditions, Covenants, Easements and Restrictions for Chelsea Parc at Tuscawilla states "Nothing contained in this Declaration shall be construed to permit or authorize any violation or deviation from the City Code for the City of Winter Springs, Florida, as the same may exist from time to time." 4. The Homeowners Association of Chelsea Parc at Tuscawilla (resident controlled) strongly support the Whitemark request and recommend a variance of 5 feet be granted for Lots 120, 121, 122 and 123 on Fox Glen Court, Chelsea Parc at Tuscawilla, Phase n. ID. ANALYSIS OF REQUEST FOR PLANNING & ZONING BOARD INTERPRETATION: THE FOLLOWING SUMMARIZES THE DATA AND ISSUES WHICH STAFF ANALYZED IN REVIEWING TillS APPEAL TO THE P & Z BOARD FOR INTERPRETATION. A. JUSTIFICATION FOR REQUEST: 1. The applicant believes that the 20 foot setback is restrictive considering the type of houses being built in Phase 2. The lots are small. "We have tried to fit existing house plans on the above referenced lots. Not one house plan fits. It cost approximately $ 15,000 to properly design construction house plans. The hardship here is one of generating a minimum of two house plans and maybe three to keep from duplicating plans side by side. The cost would be $ 30,000 to $ 45,000 to cure a plat mistake of5 feet on the rear setback distance." 2. Granting of the reduction in the twenty (20) foot setback to fifteen (15) feet by the Planning & Zoning Board is not in conflict with the covenants and restrictions for Chelsea Parc at Tuscawilla. 3. Staff believes a reduction of the rear yard setback from 20 feet to 15 feet would not negatively impact the functional and aesthetic enjoyment of properties. 4. The proposed reduction of 5 feet from 20 feet to 15 feet for the rear yard setback does not constitute a substantial change in the Preliminary Development Plan and the Final Development Plan or the Final Plat. B. 'POTENTIAL NEGATIVE EFFECTS TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES: . . . 1. Possible potential negative effect might be that purchasers of Lots 124, 125 and others to the south may object claiming a house built on Lot 120, 121, 122, 123 will show a disjointed appearance with the line of sight. The practical effect may be that the functional use of their property is not on equal basis as those unbuilt lots that get the setback reduction now. 2. Purchasers of other nearby lots may similarly request to have the rear building setback line reduced also from 20 feet to 15 feet. The practical effect may be that the functional use of their property is not on equal basis as those unbuilt lots that get the setback reduction now. IV. FINDINGS: 1. The Final Plat of Fox Glen at Chelsea Pare, Tuscawilla Phase IT indicates a 20 foot rear yard setback. 2. The proposed reduction of 5 feet from 20 feet to 15 feet for the rear yard setback does not constitute a substantial change and is consistent with the overall approved Preliminary Development Plan and the Final Development Plan. 3. Granting of the reduction in the twenty (20) foot setback to fifteen (15) feet by the Planning & Zoning Board is not in conflict with the covenants and restrictions for Chelsea Pare at Tuscawilla. The Declaration of Conditions, Covenants, Easements and Restrictions for Chelsea Pare at Tuscawilla and the First Amendment to The Declaration of Conditions, Covenants, Easements and Restrictions for Chelsea Parc at Tuscawilla do not discuss setbacks. 4. A reduction of the rear yard setback from 20 feet to 15 feet would not negatively impact the functional and aesthetic enjoyment of properties adjacent to the subject properties. 5. The Homeowners Association (resident controlled) strongly support the Whitemark request and recommend a variance of 5 feet be granted for Lots 120, 121, 122, and 123 in Fox Glen at Chelsea Parc,Tuscawilla, Phase IT as promptly as possible. v. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning & Zoning Board approve the request to reduce the rear yard setback for Lots 120, 121, 122, and 123 in Fox Glen at Chelsea Pare, Tuscawilla, Phase II based on the findings of the Staff Report .

HARLING LOCKLIN - CONSULTING ENGINEERS · PLANNERS · SURVEYORS December 28, 1999 Mr. Don LaBlonc City of Winter .springs 1126 East State Road 434 Winter Springs, Florida 32708-2799 re: Request of variance to building setbacks, Lots 120, 121, 122 & 123, Fox Glen at Chelsea Parc Tuskawilla, Phase II. Dear Mr. LaBlonc, Whitemark Builders, the developer of the above referenced property is requesting a variance to the current rear yard setbacks from 20 feet to 15 feet for lots 120 through 123. The reduction in setback is requested in order to compensate for a 5 foot difference in lot depth in lots 120 - 123 as compared to the other lots within the development. The 5 foot difference in lot depth, from 103 feet to 98 feet prevents the builder from constructing the standard homes as provided elsewhere in the development. The inability to construct a house comparable to the other homes in the development would create an extreme hardship on the developer. The abutting lots ( 78, 79 & 80) are currently owned by the developer and future sale of these lots would include notice to potential buyers regarding the reduced setbacks on the subject lots. The applicant as the developer of the project and as the owner of all affected lots requests approval of this request. Your assistance in this manner is greatly appreciated. Please call if you have any questions. S. I I I mcere y'." : J ~ . : ~-'fi i Randy Kirkwood, ASLA Planning Director cc: Whitemark Homes 9807/dI12-20 850 COURTLAND STREET.

BUILDER'S BEST. .,,". . . .. . '" ' j ,__.1 .~ 'Il!! BUILDER NOV 92 Gingerbread Houses ORlANDO-Picture narrow streets lined with colorful Victorian cottages, and you've got Quest Properties' vision for Chelsea Parco The site had been zoned for attached housing, "but the market wasn't there for townhouses," says builder Michael Rosen. So he and his partners got the parcel rezoned for single- family-at a density of 7.4 per acre. "The density kept our land costs down Ito $15,000 per developed lot], which allowed us to sell houses for as little as $67,900," Rosen says. Quest, which built 100 houses this year-all for less than $l00,OOO-went head-to-head with the big guys at Chelsea Parco Centex is building on one side; Ryland on the other, "But their lots are 50 by 100, whereas ours are only 32 by 103. And their prices start in the $80s," says Rosen. There are other communities in Orlando with prices in the , $60s, but none have the parks and pools - that Chelsea Pare gives residents-all for a modest fee of $15 a month. "We felt it was important to provide the amenities our buyers were used to in their apartment com- plexes," Rosen says. Sales are averaging 7.5 a month. Quest plans a total of 96 houses for the 13-acre site. Hous- es are clustered in groups of two to six, separated by green spaces that function as common play areas for the neighbor- hood children. And despite the narrow lot widths, each house has at least 25 feet of rear yard enclosed with wooden fenc- I ing that fits the Victorian theme. "We put a park with a gaze-/ .bo (shown below) right at the entrance to the community to help downplay the density," notes Rosen. He believes the I Victorian architecture creates a more attractive street I' scene. "We have 13 different designs and a whole range of i authentic Victorian colors," he says. The "gingerbread" is I actually moulded polyurethane. It costs less and is more . durable than wood, and it's produced in quantity for ;: Quest by a local signmaker. Rosen, who in a previous life built million-dollar custom houses in New York, says this line of work is far more rewarding. "There's nothing like helping a young family get into that first home for $3,500 down," he says. He and his partners have plans to launch two more affordable communities like Chelsea Parc, both in the Orlando area. l 1.',U' MOR 11" . 1S"~ \ ?:-~)'"Ji~rt~~..,1~.:';,7i:\ii1t r~r~!~; ';Media n nome!price ::;; ;;:(Q#ido'aie3g~~;~~{fA ~~~~'i:~~:.;;~~:t~? ;:fronJ:$67.900{.{ ~-!~hF.tt.:.:~.:.~ .~,_;~..~lt' ~~"-~' ;; . ;:';::-":'!: -. ."
