0017 hello good evening Commissioners um Fran oh oh um can you read the second item as well they're related they related so we're listen to both of them together and vo separately I would like to do the presentation for both items together okay the second ordinance is ordinance number 20 24-27 PUD 23-8 all right good afternoon or good evening experiencing suton Community Development presenting before you this evening a comprehensive plan Amendment for Vista Grand on 14.37 acres and a PUD rezoning request with a preliminary master plan for a property that's located north of Hickory Tree Road South of NTI Road West of Hickory Tree Road and East of Old Hickory Tree Road and um the app applicants request is approval of ordinances 2024 26 and approval of 2024 27 and staff also recommends approval just background on this item um this property was annexed via ordinance 20233 and June of 2023 and the applicant is requesting low density residential future land use which is consistent with the comprehensive plan and as I mentioned previously the total acreage acreage is 14.37 ACR so in the county um the property had low density residential future land use and what they're requesting is low density residential future land use and the difference between the city and the County's low density um residential future land use is that the county allows a maximum density of three a minimum of three maximum of eight dwelling units per acre and the city's um future land use of low inity residential um future land use allows a maximum of four dwelling units perior so in the county the property had um agricultural development and conservation zoning with um R2 which is um rural development um zoning in the county so the applicant um is proposing um a plan unit development um Zoning for this property so the total net developable acres for this property is 14.10 Acres which if he were to develop in the county at the maximum density that would give him a u maximum density of 113 dwelling units just for context but in the city he's proposing um low density residential with u plant unit development zoning which with low density residential in the city it only allows a maximum of four dwelling units per acre therefore he could get no more than 56 dwelling units per acre so the gross density for this project is 3 93 dwelling units per acre and he's only proposing 54 um units on this property and as you can see before you this is the future land use map for the area so to the um west of this property that's a current existing um gry Farms development that has medium density residential and then um the zoning map which shows the um current property to the the West you'll see that there's um existing plant unit development zoning in the area I'm sorry I have I misspoke there I missed up um the density is 3.83 Doan per acre but um with this PUD the zoning details for this item they're proposing um single family detached front loaded and rear loaded product types with locked widths varying from 40 ft wide to 55 um in width which is consistent with the area since gy park has um various various lot wids in their development and to the south of this development I believe it's called um Hickory Estates that has varying lot wids that is similar in character with what the applicant is requesting this evening and then um as mentioned previously um the density that the applicant is requesting is in line with the low density residential future Landes so just a brief description of the project the applicant is proposing um developing this in a single phase and there will be an active recreation area which will be um provided in more detail at their um subdivision plan level and then with this development they'll have a um pedestrian path around the storm water Pond and there'll be a landscape buffering to the South and to the east of the property so to the South the landscape buffer is 15 ft and then to the east there's a also 15t landscape buffer and to the east of the development there's um a access stove outs for future development if the property that's currently in the county decides to develop in the future there's um a provision for future connections there and on this slide this is the proposed layout for Vista Grand which is 54 single family um dwelling units and as you can see to the east that's just um um image of the existing development pry farm sets to the west and you can see that the product that the appc and is proposing is in line with the character of this area and DRC staff reviewed this item um at the March 7th DRC meeting and uh for the U puv preliminary master plan and for the comprehensive plan amendment to low density residential um staff is recommending approval of ordinance 20246 um 26 and approval of ordinance number 2024 27 and um the requested action for this evening for first the CPA is approval of ordinance number 2024 26 and approval for the Pud reone and the preliminary master plan staff is recommend um recommends that the requested action be approval of ordinance number 2024 27 and staff um is available for questions and the applicant is available for question as well I have an initial question yes um so I it does say that the notice of public hearing was mailed to Property Owners within 500 feet but it also says one phone call was received at the time of the staff reports distribution yes could you elaborate on that was this somebody that was concerned about it or yes so at the time that I that the staff report was written there was only one phone call that was received at the time so pretty much that's saying that although when I distributed the C the staff report for commission there was only one phone call that's just letting you know that at the time of Planning Commission there could be others in the audience tonight that may speak to this item I see okay thank you you're welc any other questions for the city would the applicant like to come up and speak good evening uh John Adams RJ wh Associates 8 Broadway Florida 34741 uh we're the planners for the project we're in agreement with staff's recommendation for approval for the CPA and for the Pud zoning I'm here to answer any questions you guys may have thank you we have any questions for the applicant if we have no questions for the applicant we will open for the Public Public comment anybody from the public uh Mr Diaz and Jennifer Fernandez wanted to speak St your name and address for record please Ezekiel Diaz and the address is 4573 bail DRS sir I'm sorry the microphones are not uh working on the Dasa or at the podium you are being recorded but if everyone will here in the chambers will speak you know to be captured thank you very much if you could start over all right Ezekiel Diaz and I reside at 4573 baa trails in gry and uh my question is for I guess the applicant is uh is there any like plan for the structure of the roads as it is Sir and I appreciate you com if you direct your comment to the commission the commission will absorb your comments and then we'll allow the the applicant to respond to the commission thank you yeah we're just concerned conc ered about uh the amount of traffic flow um exiting gr Mery as it is with the development already as there is on tic Retreat uh there's a subdivision being put up right now and every day it's you know traffic is kind of at a stop at certain times cuz there's only one lane that you know the exit so we live in gr Street Farm just across where there's this going to be built um and it's a it's a two-way Road um so all of us are exiting through there with you know going to school going to work so our main concern is if we're going to have another small development right next to us what's the plan of having it's the road going to be expanded a little bit like it's just this is going to the fact that they're going to be right next to us like it's going to this is going to be more traffic there's already enough traffic um so that's our concern what's the plan what okay thank you we'll bring it up to the do we stay here or we sit no you can sit down thank thank you okay I will close it for public comments and uh you were allowed to answer the comment uh as far as the traffic concerned this uh project fronts Old Hickory Tree Road that is a uh County framework Road in the transportation network uh we've actually left 14 additional feed for the widening of that road when that road gets widened I don't know I can have that answer before our or the County's intent before uh the uh city council hearing uh as far as Transportation also on the County's transportation Network map there's another framework Road that's off site of here directly north uh there's also a 30 foot utility easement that runs along that road so there are roads planned when they're to be developed I do not know that yet but I'll have that answer before city council Mr chairman can ask a question Miss Sutton Miss Sutton do you know when these matters will come before city council do you know the the next Council me when this will be addressed it's um scheduled for the April 25th City council meeting Thursday April 25th yes and in response you mind ify um in response to the um citizens concerns um I'm just looking on the County's website which is aola roads um the county is currently conducting a PDN study for Hickory Tree Road and right now it states that the project has not been funded but if the uh citizens have um concerns I can provide them with the contact information for the project manager with the county may ask a question is there's only one way in and out of this development um from the so just for context once I show in the area the primary point of access from is from u p and there's no other options that they can help well I did see in the preliminary master plan right it's preliminary so it's just kind of a conceptual at this point in time but I did see uh Outlets or inlets if you will uh on the north east and south so I guess to elaborate on her question or to add to it uh is there any anticipation that these would lead to a further development um or is this just kind of trying to keep some interconnectivity if there were future development to happen on any of those sides of this so per code we're required to stub out for the interconnectivity right now yes there is only one entrance um Hickory Tree Road Old Hickory Tree Road uh with it being a framework Road there's uh access management you can have accesses only so much distance so I don't know that we'd even be permitted to get two accesses uh the first access point allows up to 100 units so we're a little bit more than half of that before we would be required by codee to have a second access but we have provided a sub out to the north east and to the South should future development happen and when future development happens to have that interconnectivity to the Future framework to the north and to get further to the east over to Hickory Tree Road so you said that you don't know if you would be allowed to have a second access is there way you can find out just to see what your options are I can I uh I can tell you it's not going to work but I have to talked to an engineer I know it won't work just because that future framework Road alignment to our North there's going to be a separation criteria that it's got to be a certain distance to the South and that's why we're right in the middle where we're at so it wouldn't be able to go any further north and we're not going to be able to get another one further to the South where there's actually a lift station being shown I trust your judgment I just I just like to have you know a definite I understand no or definite yes okay where is the the current uh I assume you know this area well so I'm just going to ask you rather than the city staff if you don't know the answer they can always answer but where is the current entrance to gry Farms is that uh to the north it's further to the south of here it's about uh 200 ft from the south property line there's that intersection there used to be a hard was a hard term there back in the old days it's right there where that is that comes to a stop sign down there now so where it says 10t minimum buffer is that just like a kind of a clde saac turn around currently it's in the upper left the 10t minimum buffer yeah where that note is actually located um is that do you know if that's a A culde saac or turnaround that that doesn't connect to hickor treat no that does not connect to hickor treat that's going to be where the there's 14 ft there for the future RightWay and then there's a 10-ft buffer from that future RightWay so right now there'll be 24 ft from uh the existing property line and then that road continues to the north where will be an additional framework road on the County's Transportation n so your entrance is right down on the bottom right there in the middle uh the White Road on the left side if you're looking at it running North and South right in the middle there's a little island that's that's the entrance right there and you said that 14 ft is the potential that there could be another Lane in the future there will be I just don't know the time frame it's as uh she put it it's in a PDN study right now so it's not been funded yet but that was a request for the 14 ft from the County's transportation department and Z Cloud's transportation department okay so the RightWay is there to widen any other questions for the applicant I do have one more actually um going over I guess it's um number nine it says the post change will create a drainage problem and of course they said they're going to be looking into it is if there is a drainage problem who takes care of that it's required by code to not affect or increase any off-site drainage you can maintain existing flow off site but all drainage from the impervious area created on the site must stay on site and that'll be done at a later plan at the site development plan that will be again reviewed by uh City staff and that has to be pered by South Florida Water Management any other questions there's no other questions thank you thank you thank you you speak among yourself if you like for a second are you closing the public closing public comments there's only no questions amongst yourselves can I get a motion remember commission members take the cases one at a time when announcing your motion so we have a clear record
