RPSIDENTIAL CgT~GORY:
Mr. Crosl'vie setcd that after receiting mong objections Crom the residents otthe area aeA the
Semirole Commission on Ocmber 20, 1997. the City Commission tabled consideration of a
proposed 25 acre armexation, small scale plan amendrcmni end rcuning to R-i. The City
Commission directed the stoftto seek a comDromise anwng the various Interesred involveA.
The Ciry Planner met with the Seminole County Curtent Planning Division staff to develop
compromae approach to the development of the ~ ~ mile wide area nosh oPthe City. Aftu
a me discussion it was decided to suggest the City adopt a 1 acre minimum lot s¢e wnvt¢
disntt to the residents wid applicant for consideration.
Mr. Goslire explained a possible advantage of Ibis approach is that it nnineains the existing
character ofthe azee. II permits the City to proaelively seek parcels for annemtan by befog
able to assure property owners that their current lifestyle can be mainta'uled while the Ciry
gains ux vxnrrc Gam the exinmg properties. Prelhninary conversations wish residentsbthe
area irdicate their support for the proposed approach.
Arether possible advantage to the suggestd approach is that the Sermonic County
Comnv niheir posit on that any developme tof less thmt one acre in size
compatible with the'exisllnB development in the araa will likely eomest higher deazlry
developme ts. Comesed annexatwns cause delays aM addhional expenu for all parties
mvolved.
Mr. Goslitce explain d that a possible disadvantage ofthis approaoh is that tM applicant may
withdraw Ihe'v petition to annex into the City In the near term the City will bse the
anticgmted revenue from tM proposed 60 b[ subdivision. The apPticant',c letter m this regard
tlachei for yam reference. In summary, the proposed represents a long term solution to
Its City's mnhward expansion. iiowe.er. it does represent a short term Toss oftax ~xome.
