This property is located at the southeast comer of SH 146 and McCabe Road. It is bounded on the east by Shady River Subdivision and on the south by Shoreacres. Several years ago, the Commission and Council approved a General Plan and Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP) for this location. In 2001, a one year extension was granted; however, no construction occurred and the permit expired in November 2002. The applicant submitted a General Plan and applied for a SCUP in December 2002. During the Commission's April 17, 2003 meeting, Mr. Burchfield presented his proposed General Plan. During the presentation, Mr. Burchfield provided the layout of 400+ units situated on 28 acres. The proposed development included a 4-acre detention pond/water feature surrounded by jogging trails, and play areas. On March 16, 2004, the City notified the applicant of unresolved issues concerning the details of the dedication of the Preserve, drainage, sanitary sewer, Army Corps of Engineer requirements and financing. The issue was again heard on March 24, 2004, with SCU #04-003 for a multi-family complex. P&Z recommended denial of the application based upon issues including excessive density of 418 units, lack of information concerning the Preserve, financing and outstanding Army Corps of Engineer documentation. Chapter 106, Code of Ordinances, allows a maximum cap of 180 units within apartment complexes. City Council denied the request on April 26, 2004. The developer filed an application for new General Plan and Special Conditional Use Permit #SCU04-013. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on August 19, 2004, to receive citizen input on the new concept and reserved their recommendations till next meeting.
