The Seminole County Planning & Zoning Commission voted Aug. 5 to approve the SkyWater preliminary subdivision plan, which reconfigures existing parcels into three residential lots on 25.24 acres on the west side of Lake Markham Road north of Markham Road.
"The applicant is requesting the approval of the preliminary subdivision plan for the Skywater subdivision containing 3 residential lots on 25.24 acres," said Caitlin Apgar, Planning and Development Services, during the staff presentation. Apgar noted the proposal’s density of 0.71 units per net buildable acre does not exceed the suburban estates maximum, and that potable and reclaimed water service will be provided by Seminole County while wastewater will be served by on‑site septic systems.
In discussion, the commission heard that wetlands and floodplain occur along the western portion of the site and that the applicant will delineate those boundaries during site plan and building permit review. Applicant Tom Faber of Faber Engineering said he had no additional comments beyond being available to answer questions.
Commissioner‑3 moved to approve the subdivision plan as the final action of the planning and zoning board, the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor. Chair announced the motion carried with no opposition.
What happens next: final plat and site‑specific engineering reviews will be required before building permits are issued; wetlands, floodplain boundaries and the required 40‑foot undisturbed landscape buffer along Lake Markham Road will be shown on the final plat and addressed during permitting.
