Property owner Beverly Evans told the panel she and her husband want the ADU so they can continue living at their Lake Charm home as they age; she said the family has lived on Lake Charm since 1972 and constructed the primary house in 1981.

City staff told the LPA the applicant originally submitted a building permit for the ADU in 2024 before the city adopted the new LDC standards. Staff found no unusual physical constraints on the rectangular lot and concluded the ADU’s scale and intensity would be compatible with adjacent properties given the proposed setbacks. Staff recommended approval with a condition: the applicant must plant shrubs or bushes and two palm trees from the Florida Friendly list around the ADU.

Staff’s findings noted the applicant stated the deviation is the minimum necessary to \"accommodate medical equipment\" that will be used within the ADU. The LPA took a motion to approve the 504-square-foot deviation (a 50.4% increase over the code maximum); the motion carried without recorded opposition.

The decision allows the applicant to pursue building permits for the larger ADU, subject to the required plantings and standard permit review and inspections.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","05/06/2025 Local Planning Agency","oneSentenceSummary","The Local Planning Agency approved a 504-square-foot deviation to allow an accessory dwelling unit of 1,504 square feet behind a principal dwelling at 6615 Lake Charm, subject to landscaping conditions.","taxTitle","Oviedo, Seminole County, Florida","taxId",51940,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6248794,"Oviedo LPA approves fence and tree deviations for Copperleaf homeowner",525,2458000,2983000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3209005-7a6eae8b5aa81ebb35f76034bd75174f&start=2458&end=2983","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3209005-7a6eae8b5aa81ebb35f76034bd75174f/thumbnail_2458000.jpg","/articles/6248794/Oviedo/Seminole-County/Florida/Oviedo-LPA-approves-fence-and-tree-deviations-for-Copperleaf-homeowner","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6248794-825fab956c06829cee178b8ae59ca20f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771205772&Signature=Zsr~QUS0KcMwJcfJhN8Urg7~YhBhg~Jy0RmDCeKP5uNRnu4LktsBqslbLld5vOoi8UWF97HVcC7~KmfqxCQMrROSk-gp~fLmUAKdoCH86ZDvtRh3DiLOFizbBF8A5U9Cys8jFAbDlByKgoTXtDLmG6N7ozsDX-Ji7a2RBYekJYbV5Umf1AW9h2Sf1BcbIAfkr8cJ9QargSHRLJQ7APgjAduK94jG9qZcSexVF1-bzMQkRm~czCSV7it3oVa7jQT-LL-uczGbQ9ZVS8LCIMPhThutPyx81Gzlggch6WoTUfJ5AsyptGhwX-28TH9aAPn1c8AO9a8~GQw~~~yySEaTiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Oviedo Local Planning Agency on May 6 approved two deviations for a homeowner at 1668 Copperleaf Cove that will allow a proposed backyard fence to sit 10 feet from the corner-lot side-street property line and will permit the lot to maintain two large trees rather than the three required by the Live Oak Reserve development agreement.

Applicant Janet Hatch said the deviation would allow her family to install a gated fence that provides safer access to a backyard that her grandson uses; she told the panel the setback change would permit a gate location that avoids the covered porch and allows a lawn mower to pass into the rear yard. \"The deviation requested is to provide for a rear yard fence with gates,\" Hatch said when introducing her request.

City staff summarized the application and the Live Oak Reserve standards. Staff said the requested 5-foot deviation is a 33% reduction from the required 15-foot corner-lot side-street setback under the development agreement and that the lot currently contains one large lot tree with plans to plant an additional one, leaving two large trees on the lot. Staff noted Live Oak Reserve’s PUD standards are stricter than the city's new LDC, which would require two large lot trees for a lot of this size; the applicant requested the deviation to avoid removing existing medium trees and because drainage and utility easements constrain buildable area.

Staff recommended approval with one condition: the applicant must plant shrubs or bushes and one medium tree from the Florida Friendly list along the south side of the lot. The LPA voted to approve the deviations and condition; the applicant’s Architectural Review Board previously reviewed the request, staff said.

The deviations granted are specific to the Live Oak Reserve PUD standards and were approved by the LPA; city staff explained that each deviation is evaluated independently under LDC procedures and that the LPA has final approval authority for deviations of this magnitude.

The action allows the homeowner to proceed with the fence and tree plan subject to the planting condition and any building-permit review steps that follow.","The Local Planning Agency approved deviations allowing a homeowner to place a backyard fence 10 feet from the side-street property line and to retain two large trees instead of three, with a planting condition.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6248799,"Oviedo planning panel recommends council approve 7-unit Magnolia Townhomes plan",552,1771000,2323000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3209005-7a6eae8b5aa81ebb35f76034bd75174f&start=1771&end=2323","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3209005-7a6eae8b5aa81ebb35f76034bd75174f/thumbnail_1771000.jpg","/articles/6248799/Oviedo/Seminole-County/Florida/Oviedo-planning-panel-recommends-council-approve-7-unit-Magnolia-Townhomes-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6248799-32bd590c2b2bf5f71f3547cc0b325fe0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771205772&Signature=CeDJoKWOO4pR1nfwXhYmQo-Gpjy2MtHyZwevOEhT0yYE5nJxXXB7rEbyRdg0hON1ufC04hwcjhyZA3X~7Nm~4VZuLEEZ4senIeiQorzNME2SXuX10aBmc6aazjqFEiiTgkNgX5Ke-oPXMboG8GpmsHtCgdx5xMTUWN1yy~z~vtJjqQbXdEP3TPupbHzhk~JB7uwZgPu-Z69m-nSV50EvtqxP3TWTvMFgASkvZKKHuM5hrA7fmwebjTcUtE3T6XsEMajmd9EYXJa9b29O1YVzm4cuC~vWtaoanUvJTy0N-NBOLez5ywWkFhqGdXDEF6gcBfVxm0Nt6ZneAxEfDzTqLA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Oviedo Local Planning Agency on May 6 recommended that City Council adopt resolution 460,025, approving the preliminary subdivision plan for Magnolia Townhomes, a proposed seven-unit attached-housing development at the intersection of Central Avenue and Magnolia.

Harris Burns Kale, development review manager with the City of Oviedo, told the panel the site is \"about a little less than an acre in size\" and that the application proposes seven single-family attached townhomes with shared infrastructure. He said the project would connect to the city's water system but would use an on-site septic system because the nearest sewer on Division Street is \"a little far more costly\" and code does not require connection.

The panel’s recommendation follows staff presentations on the plan layout, landscape, stormwater and mobility requirements. The preliminary plan shows four lots fronting Central Avenue, three lots fronting Magnolia, Tract A as an alley/parking area and Tract B as the stormwater facility; Tracts C and D were described as utility easements that also accommodate the septic drain field.

Staff identified two deviations: a 100% deviation from the street-tree standard and a 50% deviation for required terminal islands adjacent to parking spaces. Burns Kale said the second terminal-island location conflicts with the proposed septic drain field, so the applicant is providing an upsized replacement tree in one island and other replacement trees around the stormwater pond. He also said the applicant will pay $10,500 into the city’s mini-park fund in lieu of on-site park dedication.

On transportation, Burns Kale said the development is estimated to produce four PM-peak trips, which triggers one mobility strategy under the updated land development code; the applicant provided two benches at the Magnolia/Central corner (benches count as 0.5 points each under the code’s options).

The project is covered by a vesting agreement that \"went into effect March fourth of this year,\" Burns Kale said; under that agreement, the applicant must obtain building permit issuance within 18 months (to Sept. 4, 2026, as presented to the panel) to be assessed transportation impact fees. If permits are obtained after that vesting window, the applicant would pay the mobility-fee alternative instead, Burns Kale said.

Board members asked questions about density, tree placement and underground utilities. \"I'm assuming seven units is the maximum?\" asked Board member Ryan; Burns Kale replied, \"No, it fits within the 9 units would be the maximum allowed by the comp plan.\" On tree setbacks, Burns Kale said staff reviews utility/tree conflicts closely and that the proposed lot-tree locations are farther than typical minimum distances.

A motion recommending City Council adopt resolution 460,025 carried, with the Local Planning Agency recording one dissenting vote. The LPA does not adopt the preliminary plan itself; it forwarded its recommendation to the City Council for final action.

The City Council is the decision-making body for the preliminary subdivision plan; the LPA’s recommendation and the applications will be returned to the council on a future agenda.","The Local Planning Agency voted to recommend City Council adopt resolution 460,025 for the Magnolia Townhomes preliminary subdivision plan, a seven-unit townhome development in downtown Oviedo. Staff described two requested deviations, a park fee payment and a vesting agreement that affects impact fees.","actionData","errors"]
