Item #33 – 2019-0044

River Run Preserve LSFLU Map Amendment and PD Rezone

Ms. Petyk presented the request as outlined in the agenda memorandum.  She advised the State and Regional Review Agencies completed their review on March 5th.  The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) had no objections to the project but offered recommendations related to the potential conflicts with the Florida Black Bear; therefore, staff has placed condition (W) in the Development Order requiring compliance with FWC’s Black Bear Management Plan.  The other agencies had no further recommendations or objections to the project.  Staff recommends approval of the request. 

Commissioner Carey confirmed with Ms. Petyk that the Land Development Code calls for six-foot sidewalks.  She noted that in this D.O., they are only requiring them to build a five-foot sidewalk and asked if it is because it connects to a five-foot sidewalk along Kentucky Street.  Ms. Petyk advised the sidewalk determinations are done by Public Works and she deferred to them. 

Randy Morris, 323 West Trotters Drive, addressed the Board on behalf of the applicant and thanked County staff and the neighbors.  He noted the original continuance on this item occurred back in November, and whatever the Board requires, that is what they are happy to do.

Ms. Guillet confirmed with Jean Jreij, Public Works Director, that the school will have to do a five-foot sidewalk because it is not a local road, which is why the D.O. calls for five feet.

With regard to public participation, no one in the audience spoke in support.  The following spoke in opposition:  Andre Klass, 3250 Retreat View Circle; and Katrina Shadix, 1137 Covington Street.  A Written Comment Form in opposition from Cindy Haller, 1731 Beacon Drive, was received and filed.  Public input was closed.

Mr. Morris addressed the concerns of the speakers.  He explained this is the third public hearing held on this item and this hearing is about the transmittal coming back from the agencies.  In the prior hearings, there was some opposition to the project, but then one of the community leaders came and spoke in favor based upon it being in compliance with the Code.  Also, he said they voluntarily did a traffic study that drove the traffic signal on Lake Mary Boulevard and Skyway, which he believes was on the Consent Agenda today.  They are in complete compliance and are not asking for any exceptions.  They have agreed, and this will be the first HOA to agree to this, that they include the requirements for bear management that they have relative to the bear ordinance.  With respect to the wetland areas, they are dealing with the protection of that, including that area which is next to the pond.  And with respect to the elevations, final engineering on this project is complete and is waiting to be submitted to the County based upon P&Z having the same hearing that is being held today. 

Commissioner Constantine asked Mr. Morris to expand on what they are doing in connection with water quality.  Mr. Morris talked about the Joint Planning Agreement with the City of Sanford stating water and sewer will come directly from the City.  The wetland is on the southeastern corner of the property, which is also where the pond will be.  He stated the water collection, which must stay on the property, will first go into the pond, and if an event would cause a pop off to occur, that will go directly into the wetlands.  He noted the pond is hundreds of feet from the property line.

Commissioner Carey stated as Mr. Morris pointed out, this is the third public hearing for this item and there was only one speaker at P&Z.  She just wanted to clarify that the FWC comments were that they include the requirements for black bear management, which is different from what they have for the northwest area of the county.  She asked if they are planning to follow the requirements of the State’s black bear management plan or if this applicant is going to voluntarily put into place the need for bear-resistant garbage cans and those kinds of things.  The way she read the D.O. is that they will be following the State’s requirements. 

Rebecca Hammock, Development Services Director, addressed the Board to explain that condition (W) in the Development Order does go on to say that HOA Bylaws must require options for keeping garbage secure, which includes bear-resistant containers and modifying garbage cans to be bear resistant, or keeping cans in the garage or a sturdy shed, and placing garbage on the curb the day of pickup instead of the night before. 

Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Constantine, to adopt Ordinance #2020-07 enacting a Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment from Suburban Estates to Planned Development; and adopt the associated Ordinance #2020-08 enacting a Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to PD (Planned Development); and approved the associated Development Order and Master Development Plan for approximately 31.3 acres, located south of the Kentucky Street and Jessup Avenue intersection, as submitted here today; Keith Lawes, Applicant.

Districts 1, 2, 3, and 5 voted AYE.
