City Council December 18, 1989 of the City Code gives Council authority to initiate zoning requests/ changes if the developer/owner of the property does not desire to initiate the request. Mr. Schutte said that 408 additional apartment units would have an impact on the City's recreational facilities and in fairness to the citizens of Casselberry and other developers in the City of Casselberry who have been assessed a recreational fee; this developer (The Vinings) should either have to donate land for recreational purposes or the fair market value thereof. Mr. Schutte said he was not in favor of Ordinance 651. Mr. Douglas Hoeksema, Development Partner for Trammel Crow, 380 North Lake Boulevard, Altamonte Springs, addressed concerns regarding distances, i.e., between units and between the units and the lake as it relates to conservation of large trees. He stated that building units were redesigned to achieve 30 foot separation between units; a 55 foot separation exists between Building 10 and the lake. He asked that he be allowed some flexibility to make field adjustments regarding distances, possibly 5 feet latitude, in order to save large trees. He said this would be done in conjunction with City staff. He said they would commit to buildings being no closer than 25 feet be- tween units and 50 feet between buildings and the lake. Mr. Schutte said that some type of safeguard should be imposed for the protection of Carmel -by -the -Lake residents should this development be sold by Trammel Crow. Mr. McIntosh said a provision could be inserted that states Trammel Crow or its successor will complete the project in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the City or return to the City Council. Mr. Hoeksema agreed, this will be made a part of the record at final development plan. Chairman Miller asked if there was anyone in the audience that wished to address Ordinance 651, either pro or con. No one came forward. (7)
