On Jan. 18, the Ormond Beach City Commission will review the proposed Tattersall at Tymber Creek subdivision project, which is proposing the construction of 143 single-family lots on an 84-acre site at the northwest corner of Tymber Creek Road and Airport Road.
The developer, home builder Trey Paytas of Paytas Home, is seeking a re-issuance of a development order for construction, as the property is already zoned as a Planned Residential Development. The project is proposing a gross density of 1.74 residential units per acre.
The project is arriving before the City Commission with a recommendation to deny the proposal by the Planning Board via a 5-1 vote that took place on Dec. 9. The board was concerned that the development of the parcel, which has 14 acres of wetlands, would worsen the existing flooding issues of the area. The development is proposing the preservation of 11 acres of wetlands. The board also worried about the impact of additional traffic, mirroring concerns brought forth by residents at the meeting, which lasted over three hours.
A traffic impact analysis by LTG Engineering and Planning found that the development, if approved and built-out, will generate 153 net morning peak-hour trips and 159 net afternoon peak-hour trips. The development is proposing two access points: one along Tymber Creek Road and one along Airport Road.
With two schools in close proximity to the development — Pathways Elementary and Pine Trails Elementary — residents worried that the development will increase the morning traffic congestion. But, the traffic impact analysis states that “although the queue spills back into the westbound through lane, the congestion clears within 8-10 minutes from when maximum storage capacity is reached,” and recommended the project for approval.
The parcel has had three past applications.
The first occurred in 2006 when the City Commission approved a 68-lot subdivision, but it was never built. The approval expired in 2014, and in 2013, the commission denied a request by the developer at the time to to allow 163 lots instead of 68.
In 2018, the Commission denied another development order request that sought the construction of 144 lots, known as the Marshside Village project.
The developer of Marshside Village then filed a petition to repeal the commission’s vote, but a Volusia County Circuit Judge ruled to uphold the denial in June 2020.
If approved on first reading at the commission meeting on Jan. 18, a second reading for the project is scheduled for Feb. 1. The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. at the City Commission Chambers at City Hall, located at 22 S. Beach St.
Florida Rep. Tom Leek, R-Ormond Beach, has filed House Bill 1435 on code and traffic enforcement, in response to unsanctioned events, a press release announced Monday.
The legislation, if passed, would allow a sheriff or a chief administrative officer of a county or municipality to designate “special event zones,” within which officers will be able to enforced enhanced penalties and double fines for noncriminal traffic infractions. The bill also seeks to let officers impound vehicles and creates penalties for people who violate noise and sound ordinances.
“In a digital age, pop-up events and so-called ‘invasions’ organize quickly, often more quickly than the legislative process works at the city and county levels,” said Leek in the press release. “This legislation provides our law enforcement agencies and local governments the ability and flexibility to respond at a moment’s notice to such events.”
The 2022 Mayor’s Health and Fintess Challenge has been postponed for 30 days, the city announced recently.
A weigh-in and kick-off event was scheduled for Jan. 8, but on Jan. 7, Leisure Services expressed its apologies and canceled the event “due to unexpected situations,” as detailed on the city’s website.
AdventHealth Centra Care’s statewide seven-day positivity rate for COVID-19 was at 40%, as of Jan. 10.
Once the city’s 30-day evaluation is complete, the challenge’s weigh-in and kick-off event will be rescheduled.
The design team for the proposed development at the former Tomoka Oaks Golf Course property met with the city’s Site Plan Review Committee on Wednesday, Jan. 5.
The team presented two drawings for discussion, according to the city’s weekly report. No concept plans have been submitted, and while the committee and the team discussed things like buffers, tree preservation and traffic, the developer has not submitted a site plan and as a result, a timeframe for public hearings has not been set.
The Planning Board meeting originally scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 13 has been canceled due to no applications being ready for the board to review.
The next Planning Board meeting is scheduled for Feb. 10.
