RE: T.R.B. Ccmrents
Master Plan Modification
Citrus Glen
M.:M Design Group
In response to the applicants request for guidance relative to the plan sub-
mittal which included a quantity of t'WO (2) alternatives for the 34' roadway
and a quantity of two (2) alternatives for the 60' R.O.W., my findings are as
follows:
1. The justification for rrodifying this Master Plan is a self-imposed issue,
therefore,
a) Alternates 1 & 2 of the 34' roadway areas are not acceptable. Alternate
#1 does not satisfy off-street parking requirerrents for parking area
\ '. di.Irensions and vehicles overhanging sidewalks pose a nuisance and a
hazard to pedestrians. Alternate #2 for the 34' roadway areas, deletes
sidewalks that are required by Subdivision and Platting Regulations. A
larger structure is not suitable justification for anitting required
sidewalks. Drainage swales would be reduced by 50% in Alternate #1.
b) Alternate # 1 for the 60 I R. O. W. I S is not acceptable due to non-ccrrpliance
with off-street parking requirerrents/dimensions. Alternate #2 for the
60 I R.O.W. is suitable and can be achieved through re-platting.

MEMORANDUM
Utilities #90-156
FROM:
Timothy Cannon
Interim Planning Director
John A. Guidry )~~j1
Director of Utilities ~,
TO:
DATE: March 7. 1990
SUBJECT: TRB Review - Citrus Glen - Master Plan Modification
In our opinion. the request to reduce front and/or rear setbacks
from previously established minimums constitutes a substantial
change in the Master Plan. and should require a public hearing so
as to encourage public input on this matter.
However. should the City Commission approve this change, we
request that front setbacks be reduced to not less than 18' and
rear setbacks to not less than 12', so as to prevent impacting
existing fire hydrants, water services and sewer services. With
an 18' front setback, the building would be within 6' of a
utility easement. In the event future repairs are necessary on
the water ~nd sewer utilities in the easement it is conceivable
that backhoes and other heavy equipment would have to operate
within 6' of someone's front door.
We respectfully request that the Commission consider this fact
when making their decision.

PLANNING DEPT. MEMORANDUM NO. 90-057
TO: Chairman and Members
Planning and Zoning Board
FROM: Timothy P. Cannon
Interim Planning Director
DATE: March 12, 1990
SUBJECT: Citrus Glen - MPM (setbacks and lot size)
File No. 432
In addition to those issues raised by the Technical Review Board
and outlined in the staff report (Planning.Department Memorandum
No. 90-056), please be advised of the following Planning
Department staff comments with respect to the above-referenced
request for a master plan modification:
1. Approval of an 18 foot front building setback and 12
foot rear building setback would be a deviation from
the minimum standard for building setbacks within PUDs
(20 foot front, 15 foot rear and 15 foot on zero lot
line side) that has been the standard for PUD develop-
ment in the City.
2. The following aesthetic concerns are raised for
consideration when evaluating this request:
a. The construction of such a large unit on the lots
in this project will result in an almost 45% lot
coverage, the maximum which has generally been
allowed in PUDs. This will undoubtedly cause the
project to appear congested and overbuilt.
b. Market will control which unit size is constructed
on these lots. Therefore, if a reduced front
setback is approved, after units having the
previously approved 20 foot setback are under
construction, no orderly arrangement of staggered
setbacks will result.
3. The Citrus Glen and Lawrence Grove PUDs have been a
model for more recent PUD master plan approvals in
City. It is felt that the requested modification of
the citrus Glen master plan will erode the integrity of
the project.
