Once the commission meeting begins, Mayor Nick Nesta is scheduled to present a proclamation commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and encouraging residents to\u00a0participate\u00a0in local educational and community events throughout the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Ridge Phase 3\u00a0<\/p>\n

The meeting\u2019s primary business item is a quasi-judicial public hearing on\u00a0The Ridge Phase 3<\/a>\u00a0major development plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The proposal,\u00a0submitted\u00a0by VHB on behalf of Apopka Centerline Development LLC, calls for construction of 363 multifamily residential units on approximately\u00a013.23 acres\u00a0at the southeast corner of Binion Road and Boy Scout Road. The project also includes an extension of Bronson Lake Drive as part of the larger Ridge planned development.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Development Review Committee reviewed the proposal earlier this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Daycare facility at Chandler Road\u00a0<\/p>\n

Commissioners also will conduct first readings on two related ordinances involving 4410 and 4420 Chandler Road, where property owner Richard Chandler and applicant Camila Neira are seeking to change the future land use designation from Residential Very Low Suburban to Office and rezone the 5.12-acre site from single-family residential to Office to allow development of a\u00a0child care\u00a0facility.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The proposal previously received a recommendation\u00a0of\u00a0denial from the Planning Commission.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bateman Properties\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another public hearing would annex approximately\u00a04.85 acres\u00a0known as the Bateman Properties at 2850 and 2864 Dowman Drive into the city. The vacant property is owned by LMB Capital LLC, with Denny Shiver listed as the applicant.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Among consent agenda items, commissioners are expected to consider awarding retiring Officer Victor\u00a0Barger\u00a0his service weapon in recognition of more than 25 years with the Apopka Police Department.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They also will consider two code enforcement settlement agreements, authorize a sole-source purchase agreement for wastewater infrastructure repairs using a proprietary concrete rehabilitation system, and approve several piggyback purchasing contracts for vehicles, waste equipment, utility\u00a0work\u00a0and other municipal services.\u00a0<\/p>\n
