Planning commission approves Notting Pines preliminary subdivision plan for 31 single-family lots

The Seminole County Planning and Zoning Commission on July (meeting date not specified in the record) approved a preliminary subdivision plan for Notting Pines, a proposed 31-lot single-family subdivision on approximately 17.42 acres east of Notting Pines Way, about a quarter mile south of Red Bud Lake Road.

Staff presented the plan and recommended approval. Annie Silaway, principal planner with Seminole County Planning and Development, told the commission the site is zoned R1AA and has a low-density residential future land-use designation that allows a maximum of four dwelling units per net buildable acre; the Notting Pines plan proposes a maximum density of 2.45 dwelling units per net buildable acre. Silaway said the development would have one access point onto Notting Pines Way and would be required to connect to Seminole County utilities for water and sewer service. “Staff finds a preliminary subdivision plan to be in compliance with all applicable provisions of chapter 35 of the Seminole County Land Development Code,” she said, and recommended approval.

The applicant’s representative appeared and offered no substantive changes to staff’s presentation. No members of the public submitted comment on the item. A motion to approve the preliminary subdivision plan was made and seconded; the commission approved the recommendation by voice vote and the item will be referred to the Board of County Commissioners for further consideration.

The approved plan as described to the commission is for 31 single-family residential lots on 17.42 acres in the R1AA single-family dwelling zoning district, with one planned access point and required connections to county water and sewer. The commission’s approval was a preliminary/subdivision-plan approval and does not itself finalize permits or construction approvals; subsequent permitting and any required review steps will be conducted by county staff and other permitting agencies.

Planning staff noted compliance with the county land development code and the requirement to connect to Seminole County utilities; the commission did not record any no votes, abstentions, or conditions beyond those shown in staff’s materials. The matter will proceed to the Board of County Commissioners for action.
