Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency November 18, 2015 Page 5 Mr. Henson asked the applicant to come forward. Mr. Eric Warren, 2602 East Livingston, Orlando, Florida came forward. Mr. Warren said they are in agreement with staffs presentation and are available to answer any questions. In response to the Commission's question regarding emergency access to the site due to one entrance and exit to the property, Mr. Warren explained that the Fire Department reviewed the proposed project at a Development Review Committee meeting and there were no concerns discussed at that meeting. A brief discussion ensued regarding the stormwater and drainage for the proposed project. In response to the Commission's question, Mr. Doug Hoffman, Pulte Homes, 4901 Vineland Road, Orlando, Florida stated that the perimeter fence will be located in an easement that is dedicated to the Homeowners' Association and the maintenance of the fence will be their responsibility. Mr. Henson asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. Ms. Dori Sutter, 234 Morton Lane, Winter Springs, Florida came forward. Ms. Sutter questioned the responsibility for the maintenance of the fence. She said that Legacy Park Homeowner's are responsible to maintain the portion of the fence on their property. Ms. Sutter said she was under the impression that there would be a 50 foot buffer that would be in a non - buildable area. She said now it includes the setback and the 15 foot landscape buffer. She said most of the lots along the back boundary of the ranchlands will have 3 - 4 houses backing up to their property. She said it will be a wall of houses adjacent to the ranchlands. She said that is closer than what they had anticipated. Ms. Sutter suggested eliminating one of the houses and spreading the houses out so that there is 16 feet between houses instead of the proposed10 feet. She said lot 17 & 18 backs up to the lake behind her house in Winter Springs. The survey point is within 18 inches of the waterline of the lake in Winter Springs and it is showing a fence line in that area. She has been told that a permit has been issued to fill the wetlands and overflow ditch that is adjacent to the lake which is on the property. She said there is a 25 foot buffer on the north property but not getting the same on the lake side in Winter Springs.
