Dear Ms. Cottrell:
Please be advised that at the April 7, 1992 meeting of the City
Commission and at the April 14, 1992 meeting of the Planning and
Zoning Board the above-referenced master plan modification was
approved subject to the attached comments. These comments can be

of Z-lots, zero-lot lines and lots with standard setbacks.
We hope this letter is of some help to you. If you should have
any questions regarding this request, please feel free to call
me.
Yours truly,

RE
LAWRENCE GROVES POD - OOR REF.#11173.02
Dear Chris:
Please accept this letter, and the accompanying $500.00 filing fee,
as our request, on behalf of K. Hovnanian, Inc., for approval of
a minor amendment to the Master Plan of the Lawrence Groves Planned
Unit Development.
Pursuant to our discussions, the Lawrence Groves PUD was approved
by the City in 1987. The 48.23 acre project was to consist of 210
units, (a density of 4.35 units per acre), developed with patio
homes (both straight lot line and Z-lot, zero lot line). Plan
elements included three separate recreation areas, over 5 acres of
lakes, and a substantial preservation of the citrus grove which was
existing on the site.
Phase One of the project is partially developed, with
All of the units constructed to date have been patio

As with many projects developing in the current economic climate,
absorption has been somewhat below initial projections. Absorption
of this particular project has also been hampered somewhat by
changes in the housing market, with a lessened demand for patio
homes in favor of conventional, single family detached houses.
The purpose of this requested amendment is to allow a larger mix
of housing types in the development. Housing types would include
the approved straight lot line and Z-lot patio homes, and
conventional detached homes. Some of the conventional lots are
proposed for development for 40 feet wide units, and some 35 feet
wide units. All of the housing types would be single family
detached units.

There is no proposed change in the total number of units from that
approved, nor in the primary design elements of the plan. Our
review of the impacts associated with this proposed development
plan indicates no changes in projected traffic generation rates or
traffic distribution, and no changes in demand for any City
service, including solid waste disposal, potable water or sewer
service. There is no change in the drainage system design in place
in Phase One of the project, or planned in future phases.
We understand that the review of this change will be as follows:
1) Technical Review Board meeting;
2) City Commission Public Hearing;
3) (assuming approval as a minor amendment), Planning and
Zoning Board Public Hearing.
If our understanding of this process is incorrect, please advise
us. Otherwise we expect, and would very much appreciate, this
request being considered on the first possible agendas for each of
these required meetings.
Please let us know what, if any, further materials or documents you
need to process this request. As always, please feel free to call
if you have any questions or comments on this plan and the proposed
changes.
Sincerely,

RE: Lawrence Grove P.U.D. - Bedford Blvd.
Dear Mr. Cannon:
Enclosed are four (4) pr ints of Drawing No. S-1377-~1~ showing
the proposed 6~' wide right of way for Bedford Blvd. between
Lawrence Grove and the Meadows, on which we have identified a lB'
wide utility easement to accommodate the proposed eight inch
water main interconnecting the two projects.
The developer is petitioning the City for a modification of the
condition owing to circumstances that have arisen in pursuing the
abandonment procedure for the 60' right of way over the Foster
property.
I have enclosed a copy of a letter dated January 15, 199~ from G.
Steven Brannock, Counsel for K. Hovnanian Companies,
owner/developer of the Lawrence Grove project which sets forth
the reasons for seeking a modification of the roriginal condition
of approval.
Very truly yours,
