Cool. Thanks.

Okay. Good morning. Michelle Gibbs, City Planning. So this is case SUV 2025DashA361122 Lotta Lane replat with mods. So this is, the subject property is developed with a 2,364 square foot single family home currently on a a 135 foot width by a 100 foot depth lot.

The applicant is requesting a replat with mods of, to allow a new duplex development for units total. The rear yard setback will be 20 feet where 25 feet is required, and the depth of the lots will be a 100 feet where a 110 feet is required. And that those will be the mod requests. So the future land use is res low. The zoning is r three a t.

Went over the request already. This will be a minor subdivision plat with those, requested mods as I kind of explained before. We did do a block of face analysis for this, which included 14 properties in the same block as the new proposed development. An overall conclusion was made that the FAR is at an average of 0.35 where 0.5 is allowed, and a majority of the lots are conforming where these two lot new lots will be nonconforming by depth of the lot, which was preexisting. So we kind of concluded that the nonconformity will not be worse with this plot with mods as the existing depths are a 100 feet where a 110 feet is required.

And with this replat, the widths will not, will continue to remain at what is allowed. And then from there, this will follow section 58.1154, which shows that this will keep the neighborhood comp compatibility as this does not make the conforming lot nonconforming or even worse at this point. And following that, this is the block face analysis that we do for the plat with mods. And then staff recommends, approval for the request. And this is an aerial view, and I can answer any other following questions that you may have.

Thank you. Any questions from the board?

Marcus? I

just have a quick question. One of your conditions of approval says that at time of appearance or review

of termination letter, the FAR would need to

be revised to point five. So do you know what's the FAR at this point?

Yes. So it was point 54 from what they proposed. And during the review time, it was just that the architect was working through getting that, and they weren't able to get it in time. And instead of deferring them, we just make it a condition that they maintain that point five when they come back for a peer interview.

Thank you.

Any additional questions?

Is the applicant here? Would you like to speak, or would you like us to go to comment with the public? Okay.

Good morning, everybody. Alexander Spock. 201 South Bumbi Ave, Orlando, Florida 32803. So this is a proposed replat for, essentially a nonconforming lot that was part of an assemblage that we purchased over in College Park. The lot is currently occupied by two single family homes on a single lot right now.

It's not an ADU with a single family home. It's two independent single family homes, both of which are, you know, more or less not occupiable to, you know, modern standards. The discussion of the FAR, this was sort of a standard townhome design that we put on other properties that would normally accommodate a lot that's a 110 feet deep. But due to the nonconforming lot depth in this case, we will have to revise the architectural features of it to remove some of

the square footage to be able

to accommodate that point five FAR.

Alright. Thank you. Any questions for the applicant? Alright. Seeing none, thank you very much. And we'll proceed to public comment. The speaker who raised your hand in Zoom, please unmute yourself. You'll have three minutes.

Please identify your name and address for the record. Thank you.

Okay. Can you hear

me? Yes.

Kristen Newman. 1206 Lotta Lane, Orlando, Florida 32804. I just wanted to speak to my concern for taking up too much permeability permeable land. I don't know if this this plan would decrease the permeability, but there is no storm drain on our street. And being the lot next door, I'm concerned about taking on extra water with this new plan.

Yeah. There's there's already some issue with with flooding on the street. That's

it. Alright. Thank you. Would the applicant like to respond to the comment or staff? Up to you. Okay.

So the ISR is within requirements, and that is, point six.

Thank you. Any questions from the board?

So will you all have to do any stormwater management permitting?

I don't believe so. These are essentially, you know, allowed single family lots. It would be no different than just, you know, building a house across the street on a vacant lot.

Are you increasing the impervious area from what it is currently, or do you know?

It will be increased above what is currently on the site just due to the small size of the existing single family homes. However, it's not being requested to be increased beyond what is allowed by. Right? Thanks.

Any additional questions?

Yes. So my understanding is you're increasing the size of the home, but all the requirements for a regular single family home is still being met in terms of storm water retention and everything. Sure that's all being met still. Correct?

Alright. Any additional questions?

Alright. Seeing none. Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay. I'll pull it back to the board for any discussion or motion.

I'll make a motion for approval.

Motion from Second. Board member Bashan, a second from board member Hall. All those in favor, please unmute your mic and say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Seeing none, passes unanimously. That completes our agenda for today on the regular agenda. In other business, do we have any appeals updates? We do.

Good morning. It's Paul Lewis. Yeah. We do have one one update for you. There was a case that was heard last month in July for the Centro Biblico Internationale.

It's a CUP case at 7507 Kings Point Parkway for we have some new board members, so I'll just kinda give you let you know what that was. That was a project, a conditional use permit to allow public benefit use for an existing church and a private school within a portion of an existing office warehouse condo building. On July 21, there was an appellant, Invest Group two Service Center Condominium Association, and they filed a quasi judicial appeal on that recommend on the MPB's recommendation of approval. It's very early in the process. At this point, we just wanted to let you know that that appeal has been received, and we'll let you know any further updates as we as we move forward with that.

Alright. Thank you. Alright. And our last order of business here is we have voting for chair and vice chair for this board. I believe we had some nominations, and we can take nominations here as well if we'd like so we can open that discussion. Typically, in the past, we've we've kinda used, I guess, tenure on the board and or kind of cycling through chair and vice chair. So vice chair usually is is in line. On that note, I'd like to look at Betsy to tell us who the nominations are for, and then we can go from there if you'd like to add to the list.

Board members Hall, Barrett, and Brown all nominated that the current chair and vice chair retain their positions.

Okay. And with that, do we have any additional nominations? I would open up and say if if board member Reid would like to continue the tradition of kinda cycling in, I'm I'm fine to accept the nomination if we wanna do that. But I'm also open to seeding the seat and Carrie stepping in. But I'll leave it up to you to make that decision if you wanna accept that.

I'll leave it up to you because you've been doing it for a year. So are you are you tired of doing it?

Not tired. I'll accept it. The shift to 9AM has really helped out. Yeah. So I'll make a nomination to have Carrie as chair, then we can we can vote through and see how it goes.

Alright. Can go

Sure whether to say thank you. But

alright. Alright. Alright. Okay. So I'm trying to figure out how to how to run the the vote. So I guess all those in favor of remaining vice chair and chair as it stands, please unmute your mic, and we'll do a roll call so that we can see who's yes or no. So starting with mister Barrett.

This is how it works. It's not my fault. Well,

no one second your motions. I'm gonna accept the denomination at this time with with you as a chair and miss Reed with mister Sequis as chair and miss Reed as vice chair.

Alright. All those in favor, unmute mute your mic and say hi. Hi. All those opposed? And that passes. We will remain the seats as is for one more term. That completes our agenda for the day. Thank you.
