CPA #25-05, a request by Tara Tedrow for an ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan to permit the subdivision of lakefront property meeting specific criteria, was approved by a 4-2 vote. This amendment, Policy 1-5.1.8, allows subdivision of lakefront property with a minimum of 3.5 upland acres, zoned R-1AAA, into two lots, each with 150 feet of lake and street frontage and a minimum of 1.5 acres, with a total gross floor area not exceeding 40,000 sq ft between the two lots. The property in question is 1020 Palmer Avenue, which has a historic home known as Merrywood. Public comment included support from Mick Night and David Bornstein, and opposition from Aimee Spencer and Michael Spencer. Some board members supported the amendment, citing property rights and practical compromise, while others opposed it, citing policy consistency and concerns about a property-specific exception. The applicant, Tara Tedrow, stated that efforts to preserve the Merrywood home had failed and demolition was unavoidable, and she supported the lot split with development controls.

Planning & Zoning Board Regular Meeting Agenda Packet
[1128 Preserve Point Drive; case SPR #26-05] Planning & Zoning Board meeting on June 2, 2026, included a request for approval to construct additions to a single-family home totaling 1,907 square feet at 1128 Preserve Point Drive on Lake Berry. The property is zoned PURD. The additions include a 682 sq ft two-car garage and a 1,225 sq ft pool house. The project meets impervious lot coverage (28.10%) and Floor Area Ratio (11%) requirements. No trees are being removed, and the proposed structures meet lakefront setback requirements and do not negatively impact views. Stormwater retention is also met. Staff recommended approval. [case CPA #25-05] Planning & Zoning Board meeting on June 2, 2026, included a request to amend Chapter 58 'Land Development Code' Article I, 'Comprehensive Plan' to add a new policy within the Future Land Use Element. This policy would permit the subdivision or lot split of lakefront property meeting specific criteria. Staff recommended an alternate policy that preserves lakefront estates but allows for splits under specific conditions, such as historic designation of homes built before 1950, no increase in lakefront lots, or creation of one new lakefront lot if resulting lots meet width and upland area requirements (110 ft width, 52,000 sq ft upland area). [860 West Fairbanks Avenue; case CU #26-02] Planning & Zoning Board meeting on May 5, 2026, considered a request for Conditional Use approval to construct four one-story buildings totaling 29,760 square feet at 860 West Fairbanks Avenue (former Orlando RV property). The project also included approval for alcohol sales within 300 feet of residential properties and a Community Benefit Agreement. The property has vested Commercial (C-3) zoning. The applicant revised the architectural design and prepared a streetscape plan for Holt Avenue, including parallel parking. The Board approved the request with conditions including execution of the Community Benefit Agreement, preservation of oak trees at specific intersections until future transportation improvements, refinement of the pond design, and enhancement of the streetscape along Holt Avenue with dedicated on-street parking. Public comment included one resident in approval and three residents who did not confirm their stance. The applicant's representative addressed the Board regarding right-of-way dedication for a westbound left-turn lane. Board members expressed appreciation for changes but concern about traffic impacts and recommended public transparency on traffic studies. [673 Balmoral Rd; case SPR #26-04] Planning & Zoning Board meeting on May 5, 2026, considered a request for approval to construct additions totaling 652 square feet to an existing single-family home at 673 Balmoral Road on Lake Berry, zoned R-1AAA. The applicant requested variances for side and rear setbacks. Staff recommended approval, noting compliance with floor-area-ratio, impervious coverage, and front setback, and that lakefront review criteria were met (no trees removed, views not impacted, stormwater retention met). The applicant's representative addressed the Board regarding the proposed lanai and variances. Board members expressed concerns about granting variances and setting precedents. Public comment was closed with no speakers. The Board approved the request. [2011 Aloma Avenue and 416 Lander Road; case CU# 26-03] Planning & Zoning Board meeting on May 5, 2026, considered a request for Conditional Use approval to construct a new, 3,700 square-foot automated car wash facility at 2011 Aloma Avenue and 416 Lander Road, zoned C-3. The site includes a former Fifth Third Bank building and a previous self-service car wash facility. Staff recommended approval with conditions including a right-in, left-out only driveway access, operational hours ceasing at 8:00 pm with non-essential lighting cut off, removal/replacement of abandoned curb cuts, final sign package compliance, onsite employee parking, refined pond design, and additional understory trees along the northern property line. The applicant's attorney and Senior Director of Development addressed the Board regarding traffic, noise, parking, and environmental practices. Nine residents opposed the request, citing concerns about cut-through traffic, noise, stormwater runoff, and incompatibility with the neighborhood. Board members discussed traffic congestion, cut-through traffic fears, lack of traffic and noise studies, incompatibility with the community, proposed tower height, and signage. The applicant requested tabling to revise plans, but the motion died for lack of a second. The Board unanimously denied the request due to concerns about compatibility, tower height, potential traffic issues, and the need for local studies. [210 Stirling Ave; case SUB 26-01] Planning & Zoning Board meeting on May 5, 2026, was scheduled to consider a request by William R. Prather to split the lot at 210 Stirling Ave into two single-family lots, zoned R-1AA, including lot dimension variances, within the Virginia Heights East Historic District. The applicant requested to withdraw the item, and a work session was planned for June to discuss the request. [1020 Palmer Avenue] The applicant, Tara Tedrow, is requesting a Comprehensive Plan text amendment to allow the split of a 3.67-acre lakefront property at 1020 Palmer Avenue into two residential lots. The proposed policy would allow two lots, each a minimum of 1.5 acres, with 150 feet of lake and street frontage, and a combined gross floor area not exceeding 40,000 square feet. This is intended to reduce development intensity compared to the current allowance of a single residence of approximately 56,000 square feet, which is considered out of scale with surrounding homes. Staff, while acknowledging the reduction in potential development intensity, has concerns about the potential loss of a historic 1938 residence on the property and the precedent of additional lakefront lot splits. Staff recommends an alternative policy allowing exceptions to lakefront lot splits only when tied to the preservation and designation of historic homes built before 1950. Public comment is not stated in the provided text.

Planning & Zoning Board Regular Meeting Minutes
[1128 Preserve Point Drive; case SPR #26-05] Planning & Zoning Board approved additions to an existing single-family home. The project involves constructing additions totaling 1,907 square feet on Lake Berry. The property is zoned PURD, and staff confirmed compliance with floor area ratio, impervious coverage, and lakefront setback requirements. Stormwater retention will be met with existing and proposed swales. No public comment was made. [1020 Palmer Avenue; case CPA #25-05] The Planning & Zoning Board approved an ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan to allow the subdivision of certain lakefront properties meeting specific criteria. The amendment, Policy 1-5.1.8, permits the subdivision of a lakefront property with a minimum of 3.5 upland acres, R-1AAA zoning, and a Single Family Residential Future Land Use designation into two lots. Each new lot must have 150 feet of lake and street frontage, a minimum of 1.5 upland acres, and a combined gross floor area not exceeding 40,000 square feet. This amendment was specifically crafted for the 3.67-acre Merrywood property at 1020 Palmer Avenue, which has a historic home designed by James Gamble Rogers. The applicant, Tara Tedrow, argued that demolition of the existing home was unavoidable due to structural issues and that the subdivision with floor area limits would better preserve neighborhood character than a single, larger home. Staff had proposed an alternative policy focused on historic preservation. Public comment included support from Mick Night and David Bornstein, and opposition from Aimee Spencer and Michael Spencer. The Board approved the amendment with a 4-2 vote, noting that the applicant would not proceed if historic preservation of Merrywood were required.
