Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency October 10, 2012 Page 8 requested the ability to construct an 8' pvc in lieu of the 6' fence. He explained that during the final engineering and grading process it was determined that some of the house pads would be higher than adjacent properties and they want the ability to adequately screen the lots. Mr, Daly requested a 6' brick wall to eliminate exposing the backyards to Seminola Boulevard. Mr. Daly explained there is a 6' aluminum fence with brick columns planned to secure the area around the emergency access gate. Mr. Daly said it is not clear on the staff report regarding continuing the brick wall along the retention pond and installing a pvc fence which would box in the retention pond. He explained that the adopted development agreement states that the retention ponds cannot be fenced. Mr. Daly said it is a dry pond with landscaping. He said it is not a gated subdivision and all they want to do is protect their residents and the adjacent residents with adequate buffering. Mr, Daly requested that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the plans as presented. Mr. Daly said the subdivision entrance sign was designed to make the entrance attractive as requested by the conditions of approval from the City Commission. Mr. Daly requested a recommendation for approval of the site plan. He said the site plan is consistent with all the conditions that were placed on the property as part of the zoning approval. Mr. Daly explained that a building permit cannot be issued until the plat is recorded. He said typically in construction the plat is not recorded until all the site work, roadways installed and everything is complete because the physical monuments are put in the ground. Mr. Daly said they would like to begin construction on a model home in January. He said they would like to have the model home available so that they can begin selling homes in the spring. Mr. Daly stated that the civil engineer and their attorney are available to answer any questions. After a brief discussion, Mr. Meadows asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. Mr. John Casselberry, 700 South Lost Lake Lane, Casselberry, Florida came forward. Mr. Casselberry said he was unable to hear staff members during their presentations. Mr. Casselberry questioned adjustments to the amplification of the sound system. There were no final comments from the applicant or staff.
