presented, that the request meets the applicable provisions of the ULDR and is consistent with the <br />Comprehensive Plan as per the written findings in the staff report. <br />The proposed conditions of approval are as follows: <br />1.

SPR 24-13: Dew Drop Park Improvements <br />Staff Presentation: Antonia DeJesus, Chief Planner, presented the agenda item and provided an <br />overview of the site plan request. The applicant, the City of Casselberry, is requesting a <br />recommendation of approval to the City Commission for a major site plan for improvements to <br />Dew Drop Park. <br />The project site is an existing City park located at 1471 Canterbury Circle, sized approximately 17 <br />acres. It has a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation of Recreation and Open Space and is <br />zoned ROS (Recreation and Open Space); it is not located within any overlay districts. In <br />summary, the improvements include upgrades to the basketball and beach volleyball courts, a <br />tennis/pickleball court, a sensory garden, a new playground, an extended dock, restroom facilities <br />and a trail looping around the park. <br />As for analysis, the Recreation and Open Space FLUM designation and ROS zoning are consistent <br />with one another per the City's comprehensive plan. The use of a park is also permitted in the ROS <br />zoning district, per ULDR Section 2-5.3. Overall, staff feels the development is compatible with <br />surrounding uses and is not anticipated to negatively affect neighboring properties. <br />The proposed improvements also meet all size and dimensions criteria outlined in ULDR Section <br />2-5.4, with the exception of the 30% Impervious Surface Area limit for the ROS zoning district. <br />The plans for Dew Drop Park propose 55% impervious area with 45% open space, which requires <br />a conditional use approval, which is being requested in coordination with this request (COU 24- <br />02). <br />Regarding appearance, design and compatibility, opaque fencing currently exists along the north <br />and east property lines to mitigate potential nuisance impact. Due to this, additional screening <br />beyond the perimeter landscaping requirements will not be required. Additionally, the dock and <br />observation deck will be illuminated from sunset to sunrise, per City Code Section 94-5. As for <br />
