Wolf Lake Ranch Phase 2 plan recommended; developer to finalize school concurrency agreement
Summary
Commission recommended approval of Wolf Lake Ranch Phase 2, a 59‑lot single‑family phase that brings the combined two‑phase total to about 120 units. Applicant said it is working on a concurrency mitigation agreement with Orange County Public Schools; stormwater ponds are separate by phase and a single HOA will manage amenities.
The Planning and Zoning Commission on April 8 recommended approval of Wolf Lake Ranch Phase 2, a roughly 29‑acre residential phase east of Poncan Road proposing 59 single‑family detached units with typical 80‑foot lot widths.
Jean Sanchez of planning staff described the phase and said access will be through Phase 1 with a secondary access on Poncan Pines Road. "Phase 1 and phase 2 will yield a total development of 120 units based on the sum of the areas of both phases," Sanchez said. She said the developer proposes about eight acres of open space plus recreational amenities built under Phase 1.
Tina Demosni of MI Homes, the applicant, told commissioners the developer is working with Orange County Public Schools on a concurrency mitigation agreement after the county determined there was not capacity. "They've determined the number of seats that we'll have to pay for, and we are in the process of entering into the agreement with the school board," Demosni said; she estimated the agreement process could take roughly two months after submittal.
Commissioners asked about stormwater; the applicant said Phase 1 handles its own runoff and Phase 2 ponds will handle the Phase 2 area, with separate ponds tied to local topography. The applicant confirmed a single master homeowners association will manage shared amenities and stormwater obligations across phases.
Commissioner Washington moved to find the Phase 2 plan consistent with the comprehensive plan and land development code and to recommend approval; Commissioner Woods seconded, and the commission voted in favor. Staff noted the applicant must complete the concurrency mitigation agreement and other administrative items before final approvals at the council level.
