- Meeting Overview:
During the latest Seminole Planning and Zoning Board meeting, members discussed an application to rezone a 4.76-acre property on Ronald Reagan Boulevard to accommodate a proposed single-family residential subdivision. The development plans raised concerns from adjacent property owners regarding potential stormwater runoff and flooding issues. Additionally, the board reviewed a request to make temporary portable classrooms at The Master’s Academy permanent.
The most significant topic of discussion centered around the rezoning application for a property on Ronald Reagan Boulevard. The applicant seeks to change the zoning from A1 Agriculture and R1A single-family dwelling to R1 single-family dwelling to develop a residential subdivision with approximately 14 lots. A nearby property owner expressed concerns during the public comment period about potential drainage issues, citing past flooding experiences exacerbated by nearby developments. The county’s development review engineering manager addressed these concerns, assuring that the final engineering phase would evaluate and address the stormwater management plans to ensure compliance with county regulations.
The board also considered an amendment to The Master’s Academy special exception, which involves converting three temporary portable classrooms into permanent structures. These portables were initially allowed in 2021 during renovations and are now requested to remain on campus longer to accommodate existing students and staff without increasing capacity. The board noted that this amendment would not impact local traffic or the surrounding area, and staff recommended approval, which the board supported.
