Mr. Kesselring asked if the conceptual PUD plan approval from Marion County was part of these requests. Ms. Wright replied no that the requests were separate from what was approved by the county. Mr. Kesselring asked if the number of units would change. Ms. Wright responded that it was possible, but the applicant wants to keep everything consistent with what was previously approved. Mr. Kesselring asked why the request was for a R-3 instead of a PUD and was the request by the applicant. Ms. Wright replied the R-3 is the appropriate zoning for multi-family residential. David Tillman, Tillman Associates Engineering, 1720 SE 16th Avenue, Building 100, Ocala, FL, said the applicant requested R-3 because it directly addresses the use for multi-family residential. Chief Planning Official Endira Madraveren stated the letters of objection and letters of suggestions were provided to the Board members. Sandra Lubi, 4862 NW 30th Place, Ocala, FL, said adding 396 multi-family apartments is not compatible to the Quail Meadows 55-plus community. The noise, pollution, traffic, and property values will all be affected; and the buffer will only be four feet. Ms. Lubi asked for the Board to reevaluate the annexation. Phil Merrill, 4862 NW 30th Place, Ocala, FL said he did not think he could stop the project, but there is not much detail in the plans. He did not think a landscape buffer is sufficient and would like to see a more substantial buffer. Quail Meadows HOA President, Luz Milagros De Jesus, 4854 NW 31st, Place, Ocala, FL, said they are a 55- plus community and not against the development, but she would like the applicant to have more consideration on the buffers. Mr. Tillman said this plan has been zoned for multi-family apartments for several years. There is an extensive tree line in the backside of the Quail Meadow properties that they don't want to remove because it provides a buffer. The dumpsters will be located far away from the neighbors. Mr. Lopez asked about the balconies. Mr. Tillman replied they don't have an end product, but there will be balconies and the apartments will be two to three stories.
