DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: On August 18, 1982, the Board of County Commissioners voted to approve the rezoning of 156 lots in Pine Lake Estates to R-lE, Country Estates. At that meeting, the Board of County Commissioners voted to initiate a rezoning of 37 lots in Pine Lake Estates; four lots presently zoned R-1, Single Family (maximum density 6.2 units/ acre) and 33 lots presently zoned A, Agricultural (maximum one unit/ 5 acres) to R-lE, Country Estates (maximum 1 unit/acre). On November 10, 1982, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanim©u.sly tecommended.. approval of the County initiated rezoning. Pine Lake Estates is an unrecorded plat which is located on the south side of Fellsmere Road (State Road 512) immediately west of 104th Avenue. The majority of the lots in the subdivision are 70' x 1301. The Land Use Designation for the area is LD -1 (maximum 3 units/acre). Pine Lake Estates comprises approximately 57 acres of land including the roads. If the rbzoning request is approved, approximately 38 lots could be created which conform to the R-lE zoning requirement. Vero Lake Estates lies immediately to the east and west of Pine . Lake Estates. Vero Lake Estates contains thousands of small lots of approximately 75' x 1301. The area to the north of the subject property on the north side of State Road 512 is unplatted. Sparse development has occurred since the platting of Vero Lake Estates, which began in April of 1956.. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: Environment - The subject property is not in a flood hazard zone and does not contain any environmentally sensitive, lands. Utilities - The area is not presently served by municipal or county water and sewer services; however, the lot requirements of the R-lE, Country Estates District would allow individual septic systems and wells on each lot. Land Use - The R-lE, Country Estate Zoning District would be in compliance with the densities allowed under the LD -1, Low Density Districts of the Comprehensive Plan. The area around Pine Lake Estatescontains scattered single family homes and large tracts of undeveloped land. The internal road systems serving Pine Lake Estates are unimproved. Development of the land in single family, large lots would be in keeping with the rural character of the surrounding areas. 52
