REQUEST FOR ETOR PUD

AMENDMENT, ROBERT HORIAN

 

     Proof of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to consider a PUD Major Amendment, Revised Final Master Plan and Addendum #3 to the ETOR PUD Developer’s Commitment Agreement for approximately 6.75 acres, located on South Sun Drive, approximately 900 feet west of Greenwood Lakes Boulevard, Robert Horian, received and filed. 

     Planner, Austin Watkins, addressed the Board to present the request, advising the applicant is requesting to amend the approved uses of Tract C from Office to Multi-Family and increase the density.  Currently, Tract C is approved for 5.47 acres of Office, 3.00 acres of Neighborhood Commercial and 3.94 acres of attached Single Family Residential.  The proposal is to reduce the Office uses allowed from 5.47 acres to the existing-built 2.53 acres and allow for a 7-story 80-dwelling unit condominium development to be constructed on the remaining 2.94 acres.  He stated that the request would increase the net density for Tract C-4 from 12.26 dwelling units per net buildable acre to 33.96 dwelling units per net buildable acre and change Tract C-2 from Office to Residential condominiums, with a net density of 34.04 dwelling units per net buildable acre.  Per the Land Development Code building heights are limited to 35 feet, unless otherwise approved by the BCC.  The applicant is requesting to amend the maximum building height to 75 feet for Tract C-2 and 45 feet for Tract C-4. 

     Mr. Watkins reviewed with the Board the proposed change in the setbacks for the residential development as outlined in the agenda memorandum.  He advised the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended denial of the requested amendment and the staff also recommends denial. 

     Robert Horian, applicant, addressed the Board to state based on the concept that has come out of the “How shall We Grow?” study by myregion.org, he is seeking this amendment.  He said the property is in the middle of an urban center of commercial with very few residential dwellings within the confines of the area.  He referred to an article (copy received & filed) titled, “Council developing new regional planning strategy”, stating he has taken into consideration the five basic growth principles of the study.  He advised the property is right off I-4 and Lake Mary Boulevard and the trips will be less with the new proposal than with the Office proposal.  He said the residential units will cost between $200,000 and $1 million and over 40% will be affordable housing. 

-------

     Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Henley to authorize the filing of the proofs of publication for this meeting’s scheduled public hearings into the Official Record. 

     Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE. 

-------

     No one else spoke in support or in opposition. 

     District Commissioner Henley stated he does not consider Sun Drive a major transportation corridor and he has difficulty believing the height and density is appropriate for this location.  Therefore, he recommends denial of the request. 

     Motion by Commissioner Henley to deny the PUD Major Amendment, Revised Final Master Plan and Addendum #3 to the ETOR PUD Developer’s Commitment Agreement for 6.75 acres, located on South Sun Drive, approximately 900 feet west of Greenwood Lakes Boulevard, as described in the proof of publication, Robert Horian. 

     The Chairman called for a second to the motion three times without response, whereupon, the motion died for the lack of same. 

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner McLean, Mr. Horian stated he would be flexible with regard to the height of the buildings.  He said he went to his concept (one floor condos with elevators) because the two and three-story townhomes are not selling.  He displayed photographs (received & filed) of views from different surrounding locations to show that the tall buildings will not be intrusive or seen.  He also displayed photographs (received & filed) of what the proposed condos will look like. 

     Chairman Carey asked what Mr. Horian’s flexibility is with regard to the height of the 75-foot building.  Whereupon, Mr. Horian stated he would be willing to eliminate one floor of the building, which would make it garage parking on the bottom floor and six floors of housing. 

     Commissioner Dallari voiced his concern about the setbacks.  He added that he does not believe the Board should negotiate from the dais. 

     Mr. Horian said that the setbacks are in compliance.  The only questions are the height and density. 

     District Commissioner Henley stated he still thinks the 7-story building is intrusive and out of character.

     Planner, Austin Watkins, presented the request, advising this item is associated with the previous PUD Major Amendment request.  He stated currently, there are two legal non-conforming billboards on the property and one on the adjacent property (Featherlite).  Clear Channel Outdoor owns one existing dual-faced billboard on the KBC property, KBC leases one dual-faced sign on the KBC property, and Clear Channel owns one single-faced billboard on the Featherlite property.  Clear Channel Outdoor wants to enter into a voluntary billboard agreement to allow for the construction of one conforming dual-faced billboard on the KBC property.  The applicant is proposing to remove five faces in exchange for the construction of one dual-faced billboard on the KBC property.  The agreement will result in the permanent reduction of two billboards or three faces.  Clear Channel Outdoor is proposing a dual-faced steel monopole billboard with an overall height of 35 feet and two 14’x 48’ faces.  The sign will have upward lighting and shall be setback 25’ from I-4 and 5’ from the Featherlite property line.  Also requested is the installation of a traditional, static or electronic/digital face.  If an electronic or digital face is installed, there will be a minimum of a six second static display time for each message.  He added that staff recommends approval of the proposed agreement.

REQUEST TO REZONE FROM OP

TO OP, MATTHEW HODGE

 

     Proof of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to consider a request to rezone from OP (Office) to OP (Office) on approximately 4.84 acres, located on the southeast corner of the intersection of College Drive and Lake Mary Boulevard, Matthew Hodge, received and filed. 

     Planner, Austin Watkins, presented the request, advising the applicant is requesting the rezoning for the purpose of modifying the previously approved site plan to add two additional access points onto College Drive.  The modification will also reduce the total office square footage from 48,966 square feet to 45,110 square feet.  He further advised that the project is now associated with the Seminole Community College Foundation and the proposed site plan has three access points, which include two on College Drive and one on West Ridge Drive.  Staff is recommending approval of the access point on West Ridge Drive, subject to the following:  (1) The access onto West Ridge Drive shall be right-in, right-out only; and (2) Signage adjacent to or oriented towards West Ridge Drive shall be prohibited and must be oriented towards Lake Mary Boulevard or College Drive. 

     Mr. Watkins stated that the applicant is also requesting a waiver to the LDC to reduce the active buffer required along the west property line adjacent to West Ridge Drive from 50 feet to 25 feet.  Staff recommends approval of the reduction, subject to the following:  (1) The buffer must include, at a minimum, a 6-foot brick or block wall with a decorative finish, eight canopy trees and four sub-canopy trees per 100 linear feet; and (2) The required landscaping must be planted on the outside of the wall adjacent to West Ridge Drive as a visually amenity to the residents.  He advised the P&Z Commission recommended approval of the request subject to no access to West Ridge Drive.  He added that staff recommends approval subject to the Revised & Restated Development Order. 

     Matthew West, representing SCC, addressed the Board to state the main issue when the request was heard by the P&Z Commission was the access onto West Ridge Drive.  He said the transportation policy of the Comp Plan dealing with this issue is not an outright prohibition, but it encourages the access to be on a collector or arterial road.  He stated the problem is that the collector road (Lake Mary Boulevard) does not have enough separation to allow for another curb cut.  He said there are other sites on Lake Mary Boulevard whose properties have access to either Fifth or Fourth Streets. 

     Steve Nevelip (phonetic), representing the applicant, addressed the Board to advise the submitted plan allows the college to build approximately 40,000 square feet of office.  He said they have moved the entrance on West Ridge Drive to the north 75 feet and they believe that will reduce the impact to the neighborhood.  He further said that the two homeowners who will be affected the most have submitted letters in support of this request. 

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. Nevelip advised there will be up to 160 people occupying the building. 

     Donald Tise, 124 Lake Minnie Drive, addressed the Board to speak in support of the development as approved by the P&Z Commission with no access onto West Ridge Drive.  He stated that for 2/3 of the residents of Fairlane Estates, West Ridge Drive is only one of two west-bound exits out of the subdivision and there is already a tremendous problem with getting out of the subdivision. 

     County Engineer, Jerry McCollum, discussed the possibility of extending Lake Avenue (one-way) in order to get the residents over to College Drive, stating he would not recommend it, due to safety concerns. 

     Upon inquiry by District Commissioner Carey, Mr. McCollum stated if the access was limited to a right-in only, that would eliminate any cut-through traffic. 

     No one else spoke in support or in opposition. 

     Speaker Request Form was received and filed. 

     District Commissioner Carey recommended approval of the request, subject to a right-in only off of West Ridge Drive and no access out to the road.  She stated she does not see the need anymore to have the requirement that the building have residential architecture. 

     Motion by Commissioner McLean, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to adopt Ordinance #2008-15, as shown on page _______, approving rezoning from OP (Office) to OP (Office) on approximately 4.84 acres, located on the southeast corner of the intersection of College Drive and Lake Mary Boulevard, as described in the proof of publication, Matthew Hodge; and approve Revised and Restated Development Order, as shown on page _______, including a right-in only access to West Ridge Drive (but no access out to the road) and the elimination of the language requiring residential architecture, based on staff findings.
