Ordinance No. 06-2020 - Amending the official Zoning Map to rezone ±110.43 acres of land located south side of Enterprise Osteen Road from County Prime Agriculture (A-1) to City of Deltona Residential Planned Unit Development (RPUD). Project No. RZ20-0003. Chairperson Putkowski noted this meeting is a Quasi-judicial hearing and asked if any of the members had any ex-parte communication. Member Northey stated she drove around the site and spoke to Wanda Van Dam. Member Bowman stated he drove past the site on Sunday. Secretary Storozuk stated he walked around the site. Chairperson Putkowski stated he drives by the property occasionally. Member Munoz, Alternate Trombetta, and Alternate Rodriguez stated they did not have any ex-parte communication. Chairperson Putkowski read Ordinance No. 06-2020 and asked City Attorney Segal-George to swear in everyone. City Attorney Segal-George swore in members of the public and staff wanting to speak on the project. Mr. Paradise spoke regarding the previous annexation of the subject properties into the City in 2006 and 2019. He explained the County zoning and future land use map designation did not change. He stated in September 2020, the City Commission did transmit and approve the first reading, a future land designation amendment application for Low Density Residential. The amendment was transmitted to the Florida Department of Economic opportunity and the Volusia Growth Management Commission. He noted neither entity has brought forth any objections. The adoption and final reading is scheduled for the January 19, 2021, City Commission meeting. Mr. Paradise stated the property is forested and not developed. The property contains about three (3) acres of wetlands and has approximately 30 acres of open water. The property is associated with Little Lake. The goal of this request is to develop the property with a single family subdivision featuring 221 units. There is a proposed text amendment to the City's Future Land Use Element that limits the density on this property to 226 units, although the rezone request is for 221. Lot sizes will range vary, but most will be between 6,000 and 8,000 square feet. He stated the project is forecasted to generate about 2,200 trips on the City's roadway City of Deltona Page 3 Printed on 2/16/2021 Planning and Zoning Board Minutes December 16, 2020 network. He spoke regarding required turn lanes on Enterprise Osteen Rd. and a warranted signal on SR415 and Enterprise Osteen Rd. The Development Agreement has the stipulation of having this signal up and operational before the final plat is advanced to the City Commission for approval. He spoke regarding a pioneer agreement to provide central water and sewer services to the property and about residential vehicle parking. The applicant's proposed entrance signs, which would be maintained by the homeowners association (HOA) was also mentioned. Mr. Paradise stated the rezoning is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and recommends the Planning and Zoning Board recommend the City Commission approve Ordinance 06-2020 with the suggested staff changes. He stated 46 acres of this property is located in the 100-year floodplain and about 30 acres of that is open water. As proposed on the Master Development Plan (MDP), there are 24 lots located entirely or almost entirely within the 100-year floodplain. Staff is suggesting the subdivision be redesigned to remove all of the lots out of the floodplain or if the lots within the floodplain, the lost must be designed to ensure there is ample room to build a house and non-water dependent accessory structures outside of the floodplain. The goal is to maintain the 100-year floodplain in a natural state. The Board asked for further information about the subdivision redesign, Mr. Paradise stated the floodplain affects 24 properties and will not result in a loss all of 24 lots. Discussion occurred on the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). Mr. Paradise spoke regarding the gravity model and how there are certain land uses like Wal-Mart that will attract traffic. Secretary Storozuk asked about the Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) and the need to expand Doyle Rd. Mr. Paradise stated the TPO would be a logical partner to help with some of the work needed and explained it is difficult to fund capacity projects through the TPO. The Board stated they wanted to see the redesign with the 24 lots being moved out of the floodplain. Mark Watts, Cobb Cole, 231 Woodland Blvd., Deland, presented a PowerPoint presentation on Ordinance No. 06-2020. He displayed data on previously approved subdivisions with small lots and the density at Kove Estates. Mr. Watts spoke regarding the Osteen Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) and having to readjust the adjacent property to the west to come back with the density required by the County and the requirements of the JPA. He spoke about the floodplain requirements within the Land Development Code and Comprehensive Plan. He stated the redesign with the 24 lots being moved out of the floodplain is agreeable. Secretary Storozuk asked about the pioneer agreement and who would pay for the extension of the utilities to this area. Mr. Watts explained the first user of the utility infrastructure would be responsible for installation, but when other users connect, they would be required to reimburse the first user. City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 2/16/2021 Planning and Zoning Board Minutes December 16, 2020 Discussion occurred between Secretary Storozuk, Mr. Paradise, and Mr. Watts about capacity, if the City's water treatment plants could handle this type of growth, and the review process. Mr. Paradise stated capacity is available. Secretary Storozuk voiced concerns regarding the Planning and Zoning votes on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and how the City Commission voted afterward. He and Mr. Watts spoke about the disconnect between the two bodies, volunteering time, and hearing the resident's concerns. Member Munoz asked about the options given in the staff report to recommend approval of the submitted project and the approval of the redesigned project. Mr. Watts spoke regarding the warranted traffic signal at the intersection of SR415 and Enterprise Osteen Road. He spoke on changing the deadline for traffic light requirements due to a shortage of supplies because of COVID. He explained taking the lots out of the floodplain would be feasible. Member Northey applauded Mr. Paradise for the well written staff report. She spoke regarding the Board previously denying the Comprehensive Plan Amendment because it was an inappropriate change. Member Northey stated putting 221 units in a rural residential area is changing the character of the neighborhood and it is not appropriate to put this in a rural residential area. Mr. Watts spoke regarding the density in the area. He spoke about the high intensity plan that is in the Comprehensive Plan, and how this project would allow a transition between rural and high intensity/density planned for the SR415 corridor. Chairperson Putkowski opened the public forum. Carl J. Hopf Jr., Enterprise, retired law enforcement officer, has lived in Enterprise for 33 years and moved away from Altamonte Springs to get away from development. He believes the project to be over-development. He expressed concerns regarding traffic. Bob Sayre, 1840 Turtle Hill Rd., Enterprise, stated he moved from Orlando to get away from subdivisions like this. He stated he just received the Florida Department of Transportations Economic Assessment of the River Lakes Quarter final report prepared by the Florida Department of Transportation District 5. Mr. Sayre stated the report was produced under contract by the Florida Research Center at the University of Florida. He spoke about the areas of interest presented in the report. City Attorney Segal-George was asked by the Chairperson to swear in Mr. Yeagle since he wasn't present before. Jim Yeagle, 308 Lake View Dr., Kove Estates, spoke regarding the TIA and presented the number of accidents and deaths cited from the Florida Highway Patrol and Volusia County City of Deltona Page 5 Printed on 2/16/2021 Planning and Zoning Board Minutes December 16, 2020 Sheriffs Office. He stated there have been 136 accidents and 90 accidents with injuries involved. Mr. Yeagle asked for an accident model to be done to see the impact of the project on public safety. He spoke about the destruction of the wetlands, forest, woods, wildlife habitat, and ecosystem. Chairperson Putkowski stated the Board is a recommendation Board and the City Commission is the deciding body. Glenda Ross, 80 Bethel Loop Cir., Enterprise, stated there are policies to development within the floodplain area. She stated the rezoning is not consistent with City policy, stating half of the property is in the floodplain. She spoke about the current character of the area is rural, and she obtained 800 signatures, who are against this change. She spoke regarding new homes being built on Doyle Road. Janice Graves, 500 Lemon Bluff Rd., Osteen, spoke in opposition because there are environmental inconsistencies. She continued regarding the future housing needs and the homes currently being built. She spoke regarding population projection versus what's entitled and under review. She spoke about Thalita Terrace, Enrico Ridge, and Eloah Estates being multifamily projects by developer, D32, which the final site plan has been submitted or a Development Order has been issued. Member Storozuk expressed concerns about the public forum being limited to two (2) minutes. Wanda Van Dam, 932 Indian Hammock Dr., Osteen, stated adding 200 homes to this property is not a good idea. She stated the residents live there, and drive the road daily so it's their responsibility to try to convey to the Board why the residents feel this way. She asked the Board to look at the current development pattern and realize the area has maintained a large lot, acreage oriented, residential plots for agricultural uses. She stated the County Urban Low Intensity future land use designation was assigned to this area in 1990. She asked the Board to look at the two components that are mentioned multiple times in the Future Land Use Element, compatibility, and character. Chairperson Putkowski closed the public forum. He asked to get the time extended for citizens to speak, to mirror the City Commission public forum. Mr. Watts stated, as recommended in the staff report, there will be required improvements to the road system. He spoke regarding preserving natural vegetation, having large buffers, and the conservation area to the south. He stated it is appropriate to make this a transitional area for the more intense use of the adjacent property, which could have up to eight (8) units an acre. He spoke on property rights, population growth, and the existing JPA density. Alternate Trombetta and Mr. Watts discussed the average sale prices of the homes and urban sprawl. City of Deltona Page 6 Printed on 2/16/2021 Planning and Zoning Board Minutes December 16, 2020 Secretary Storozuk and Mr. Watts discussed traffic, surrounding neighbors, and jobs available in Deltona.
