[End Agenda Memo] 7.III. Preliminary Subdivision Plat Approval / Special Exception Use Permit - Tangelo Street Subdivision [Begin Agenda Memo] SYNOPSIS: Sloan Engineering Group, agent representing Kahler Family Trust, Mow Groves LLC, and Prince Storage LLC, owners, is requesting approval of City Commission, of a 108-lot single-family Preliminary Subdivision Plat and a Special Exception Use Permit for a Residential PDP on 28 acres of land just east of Tangelo Street, and south of State Road 60. RECOMMENDATION The applicant requests approval of City Commission of a 108-lot single-family Preliminary Subdivision Plat and a Special Exception Use Permit for a Residential PDP, with conditions of approval, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board at a regular meeting on October 26, 2021. BACKGROUND The applicant requests approval of City Commission of a 108-lot single-family Preliminary Subdivision Plat and a Special Exception Use Permit for a Residential PDP, with conditions of approval, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board at a regular meeting on October 26, 2021. BACKGROUND General: The 28-acre vacant grove land is located just east of Tangelo Street, south of State Road 60 and the self-storage facility on Tangelo Street. The subject properties were annexed into the City through petition by the owners this year, and on August 24, 2021, Planning Board made a recommendation to City Commission to approve a zoning of R-1D, and a future land use designation of MDR medium- density residential at a maximum of 12 units per gross acre. The proposed single-family subdivision is designed as a Planned Development Project, including requested Waivers of Strict Compliance. Maximum density allowed on the site is calculated at 12 units per gross acre, or 336 homes, under the Comprehensive Plan for MDR Medium-Density Residential; a density of only 3.1 dwelling units per acre, or 108 homes, is proposed. Typical lot sizes range from 6,000 square feet to 7,200 square feet, with lot widths ranging from 50-feet- wide to 60-feet-wide. The 50-foot-wide lots are a slight deviation from the R- 1D zoning dimensional and area standards, which requires a minimum lot width of 60 feet. The lot sizes meet the underlying zoning, which requires a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. Roadways & Access: One entrance to the site is shown from Tangelo Street. Tangelo will be improved to minor collector standards along the project boundary and to the development entrance. Tangelo Street is a city- maintained road. Five-foot-wide sidewalks will be constructed on both sides of interior streets, as well as along the length of the property exterior to the development along Tangelo Street only. Additionally, a new local road will be constructed through the project which will connect to an existing roadway grid for future connections. Lastly, the development designates Tract A on the plan as right-of-way dedication to the City for future growth and improvements. Landscaping and Buffering: A landscape plan will be required at Site Development Plan submittal, and will be reviewed and approved by Staff after consultation with the City’s horticulturist. The proposed buffer may be a wall or berm, and will be planted with shrubs, canopy trees, and understory trees. Residential tree density requirements will be enforced at building permit issuance, pursuant to section 23-307.2.a.3: a minimum of two, two-inch caliper shade trees, minimum of eight feet at planting. Recreation: The project is designed with over an acre of recreation tracts, including a centralized neighborhood park, a mini-park, and a natural multi-purpose trail which loops around the property and interconnects with the sidewalk system. The neighborhood park will feature playground equipment, and the trail will include at least 3 benches throughout. The recreational trail does not count towards the overall recreation area provided, as it is narrower than 25 feet in width. More than 27% of the site will remain as open space, where 20% open space is required at a minimum by code. The recreational trail does not count towards the overall recreation area provided, as it is narrower than 25 feet in width. More than 27% of the site will remain as open space, where 20% open space is required at a minimum by code. Waivers of Strict Compliance: The applicant requests the following Waivers of Strict Compliance from certain dimensional and area standards in the R-1D zoning district: 1.) Minimum lot width at building line: 50 feet wide is requested for specific lots where 60 feet wide is required by code. 2.) Side building setback: 5 feet is requested where 7.5 feet is required by code. 3.) Corner lot functional side-yard setback of 15 feet is requested where 25 feet is required by code, for the following lots: a. 1, 6, 17, 22, 23, 28, 29, 49, 72, 73, 90, 91, & 108 4.) Increase in the allowable lot coverage not to exceed 70% is requested where 40% is required by code. 5.) Allow the neighborhood park to be further than 600 feet from lots it serves. 6.) Eliminate the visitor parking requirement at recreation areas. (Code reference: 23-443.1.d. Parking spaces. In single-family and duplex PDPs where reductions in minimum lot size are granted, and in all multi-family PDPs, visitor parking areas with spaces in a ratio of one space per 10 dwelling units shall be provided in each neighborhood in addition to the minimum of 2 parking spaces for each dwelling unit. In projects of 100 units or more, parking spaces shall be provided at the recreation area in a ratio of one space per ten dwelling units. Recreation area parking in projects with less than 100 units may be used to meet the visitor parking requirement.) Proposed Superior Design Standards: In exchange for the consideration of the above-mentioned Waivers of Strict Compliance requested, the applicant provided justification within the project narrative delineating the ways in which the plan is superior to a standard subdivision: “The proposed PDP is superior to a standard subdivision because it provides an interconnected trail along the northern and eastern extent of the project. The trail will loop the southern stormwater pond and will have multiple connections to the internal sidewalk as well as the proposed sidewalk along Tangelo Street. The trail and sidewalks will create a unique opportunity for residents to exercise and enjoy the park areas that will be a part of the trail system”. Additionally, the plan will provide recreation and open space in excess of the minimum standards. - Recreation required: .41 acres; Recreation provided: 1.23 acres - Open space required: 20% of site; Open space provided: 27% of site Code Analysis: Section 23-443 Design guidelines for residential PDPs.

OTHER OPTIONS Decline to approve the preliminary subdivision plat and PDP. FISCAL IMPACT Approval of the preliminary plat and PDP would enable the development of this property and the potential increase in property value. Specifically, estimating an average of $200,000 in taxable value per unit, it could potentially result in over $21 million in taxable value, and generate $146,000 in ad valorem taxes. *Adjusted values for potential homesteaded properties have not been factored into this estimate. [End Agenda Memo] Deputy Mayor Gibson asked how we are reducing urban sprawl with this design.  *Adjusted values for potential homesteaded properties have not been factored into this estimate. [End Agenda Memo] Deputy Mayor Gibson asked how we are reducing urban sprawl with this design. Mark Bennett, Development Services Director, said the location is near a commercial area, Wal-Mart, and will be designed to be linked to nearby properties. There is more open space in this plan than is required. Another method to reduce urban sprawl is transportation. There will be more right of way dedicated to the City along Tangelo. Utilities are available to this project. Deputy Mayor Gibson said that being near Wal-Mart is near walking distance getting people off the highways. 7.IV. Agreement With Chastain-Skillman, Inc. (CS) Northwest Sidewalk And Street Tree Improvement Plan [Begin Agenda memo] SYNOPSIS: The City Commission will consider entering into an agreement with Chastain-Skillman, Inc. for Professional Engineering Services related to implementation of a portion of the Northwest Sidewalk and Street Tree Improvement Plan. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission consider the following action(s): 1. Approve the agreement with Chastain-Skillman, Inc. for Professional Engineering Services related to the CDBG-CV Northwest Sidewalk and Street Tree Improvement Plan. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the appropriate documents, following the Department of Economic Opportunity’s approval of the grant application. BACKGROUND On November 1, 2021, the City of Lake Wales submitted a proposal for CDBG-CV grant funding that would accelerate the implementation of the design and construction of the Northwest Sidewalk and Street Tree Improvement Plan (attached as Exhibit A). The City published a RFQ and received two submittals. Following the competitive selection process, Chastain-Skillman was selected as the winning firm. The City will only enter into this agreement if it is successful in its pursuit for CDBG-CV funding. In the event the City is not selected as a grant recipient, the City Manager will not enter into the agreement. The primary objective will be to provide planning and design services and produce site work construction drawings with permit application packages for the proposed CDBG-CV scope. Included in the project are the following streets, Florida, Harding, Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, Booker, JA Wiltshire, Alabama, “F”, Jewell, Pearl, “E”, “G”, and the alley between Washington to Lincoln. OTHER OPTIONS The City Commission may direct staff to not move forward with the agreement with Chastain-Skillman. FISCAL IMPACT Chastain-Skillman, Inc. will be compensated a fixed fee of $153,660, plus reimbursable expenses, to be paid with CDBG-CV grant funding. The total project will total approximately $1.2M (breakdown below).  The City Commission may direct staff to not move forward with the agreement with Chastain-Skillman.

Gardinier Master Annexation Agreement [Begin Agenda Memo] SYNOPSIS: The Gardinier Master Annexation Agreement contemplates the eventual annexation over the next 20 years of property located east of State Road 17, and north of Masterpiece Road. RECOMMENDATION The City Commission authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement. BACKGROUND Over the past year, staff has been in discussions with representatives of Gardinier Florida Citrus, Inc., and PCGP, LLC, regarding 932 acres located north of Masterpiece Road, and east of State Road 17 (please see attached map). These entities are owned by the Gardinier family, and are collectively referred to as “Gardinier”. Based on these discussions, an annexation agreement has been prepared for consideration by the City Commission. The proposed agreement, to be known as the “Gardinier Master Annexation Agreement” (Agreement), contains the following provisions: • The property is identified as separate areas (known as the West, Central, and East areas). • A separate annexation agreement for just the West area is expected within 10 days of approval of the Master Annexation Agreement. It is anticipated that subsequent applications for land use, zoning, and a Planned Development Project will soon be received thereafter. • The Central and East areas would be annexed within 20 years. Separate annexation agreements will be created for those areas at that time. • The Agreement gives the City the ability to annex the property if Gardinier does not act within the 20-year time frame. • The City agrees to accept annexation upon receipt of annexation agreements, unless otherwise precluded by Florida or Federal law. • The Master Annexation Agreement includes a provision regarding utilities. The Agreement contemplates that the City will provide potable water and sanitary sewer to these properties within the City limits. The Agreement also contains a provision that it shall not be interpreted to obligate the City to extend water or sanitary sewer lines at its own expense, nor shall it prohibit joint participation in extension of utilities.  • The Master Annexation Agreement includes a provision regarding utilities. The Agreement contemplates that the City will provide potable water and sanitary sewer to these properties within the City limits. The Agreement also contains a provision that it shall not be interpreted to obligate the City to extend water or sanitary sewer lines at its own expense, nor shall it prohibit joint participation in extension of utilities. Annexation agreements are not normally presented to the City Commission for consideration. The subsequent annexation ordinance is the action taken to determine whether property would be annexed into the City. However, because of the utilities provision, it is necessary to bring the Agreement for consideration. Another reason for having the Commission consider the Agreement is to ensure that there is consensus for the future annexation of a large area. Approval of the Agreement is important because it will allow the City (as opposed to Polk County and/or the Town of Dundee) to control the development of these properties. The City can then ensure that quality development occurs by controlling the eventual use and design of the properties. By asserting control of property development, conducting proper planning, and governing the timing of annexation, the City can also ensure that any possible adverse impacts due to urban sprawl are prevented. OTHER OPTIONS Decline to approve the Agreement. FISCAL IMPACT Because the Agreement only provides the framework for the eventual annexation of property, it is not possible to provide an estimate of projected revenues. [End Agenda Memo] Deputy Mayor Gibson asked how we are addressing urban sprawl with this. Mark Bennett, Development Services Director, said this is at the conceptual stage and one way to reduce urban sprawl is proper planning and controlling the development. While this is a large tract it will not be brought in all at once it will be done in phases. The west will come in first. The others will come later. Timing can help control urban sprawl. Deputy Mayor Gibson asked if there will be commercial there. Mr. Bennett said that has not been decided yet but the owner is considering it. Mayor Fultz asked if the conceptual plans for each phase will come before Commission for approval. Mr. Bennett confirmed this. Mr. Bennett said they may come up with a master development plan for the rest of the property. Mayor Fultz said that would be a good thing. Deputy Mayor Gibson asked about utilities. Mr. Bennett said utilities are available. They may need to provide property to add utilities expansion. Deputy Mayor Gibson asked about open space. Mr. Bennett said its too early for this. 7.VI.
