CURRENT

(Prospective purchaser) (Engineer)
2200 Lucien Way 8800 N. Cent. Expy.
Suite 450 Suite 300
Maitland, Fl. 32751 Dallas, Tx. 75231
(407) 660-1110 739-4741
HISTORY: There has been no recent platting history on this parcel although the plat
was denied on March 14 because a staff recommendation had not been
finalized (due to the Commission postponing its March 17 public hearing
to the 24th). This plat is being re-considered at the 24th meeting.
TRANSPORTATION: MacArthur Blvd. is a P6D, divided four-lane thoroughfare,
contained within a 110 foot right of way; Beltline Road is
projected to be another P6D, but currently is a two lane undivided
asphalt road west of its intersection with MacArthur, a six-lane
divide street east of MacArthur
Item 10
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - vacant; TH-1
South- vacant; MF-2
East - vacant, partial golf course; A and SF-12 S.U.P.
West developing single family; SF-9 and SF-7
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Plan shows duplex and a small portion as high density users.
It should be pointed out that at the March 14 Planning
Commission meeting a recommendation to rezone this
parcel to single-family was unanimously passed by the
Commission.
ANALYSIS: The comments we have made in the past regarding the Riverchase Two
Apartment plat can be repeated here. That is, we have concerns regarding traffic
generated by this potential development and its impact on MacArthur Blvd. (our
engineering department is reviewing the traffic study provided by the applicant
and will review its findings at the hearing), the EMF issue continues to be of
concern, a notation indicating a five foot minimum width sidewalk along
MacArthur Blvd. must be noted, covered parking areas need to be clearly
defined, maintenance of the power line easements needs to be specifically
addressed, if the apartment units side to the single-family zoning along
MacArthur, minimum six-foot screening must be provided--the plat does not show
that provision being met. In addition, when the Liebowitz people had this
property, representations were made at both Commission and Council meetings
that berms and landscaping would be placed along the TU right-of-way which is
not reflected by the landscaping plan. Therefore, it appears there are two
courses of action that can be taken here; one, approve the plat assuming all
conditions and technical concerns of the City are met before the plat reaches
Council; two, deny the plat until those concerns are specifically addressed on the
face of a plat reviewed by Commission, then schedule the plat for Council
deliberation.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the Preliminary Plat
2) Deny the Preliminary Plat
3) Modify the Preliminary Plat
ATFACHMENTS: 1) Preliminary Plat
