Wildwood meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Wildwood agendas: $5.7M water plant payment, 1,200-home master plan, three land-use changes

Wildwood's city boards met on agendas over the past two weeks that included a $5.7 million construction payment application, a master plan for up to 1,200 homes on 828.492 acres, and three small land-use changes. Minutes have not been published for any of these meetings, so the record reviewed here shows what was scheduled to be heard, not what was decided. No votes or outcomes are established by the available material.

Commission: $5.7 million water reclamation payment application

The City Commission's Oct. 12 agenda listed a Water Reclamation Facility Project payment application of $5,747,627.35, the largest dollar figure in the two-week period. Also listed were a Millennium Park Improvements Project payment application of $142,592.47 and a final retainage payment of $62,517.87 for Community Center HVAC upgrades. A payment application is a contractor's request for payment; the agenda does not establish that any of these amounts were approved or paid.

The same agenda carried first readings of ordinances on the proposed annexation of 1.64 acres on Wesleyan Way and 1.35 acres at CR 106 and CR 107, and a proposed zoning map amendment for 0.32 acres at 7078 Sewer Connect from R4C to R-2. A first reading is an initial step; adoption would require later action.

1,200-unit master plan on 828.492 acres

Master plan 26-3671 (SP), VOSO Phase 31X, 35D&F, covers 828.492 acres MOL on parcels K25-001, K35-001, K35-002, K36-001, K36-002, Q01-001 and Q01-010, with residential areas up to 1,200 dwelling units plus non-residential areas. Staff recommends approval. It appeared on both the Oct. 6 Project Review Committee agenda (10:00 AM) and the Planning & Zoning Board agenda (2:15 PM).

Three small parcels eyed for land-use changes

The Local Planning Agency and the Planning & Zoning Board both took up three small-scale comprehensive plan amendments, each paired with a rezoning request. Staff recommends approval on all three:

• 5609 Hancock Dr.: 0.11 acres from Rural Residential (Sumter County) to Mobile Home Park (City)
• 108 Fox Court, parcel G27B013: 0.18 acres from Rural Residential (Sumter County) to Mobile Home Park (City)
• Parcel G06-103: 0.87 acres from Rural Residential (Sumter County) to Residential Mixed Use (City)

Church parking, an auto shop and downtown rules

• 26-3174 (SP): a minor modification to Saint Vincent De Paul Catholic Church to add 192 paved parking spaces on Parcel D32-069; staff recommends approval.
• 25-0070 (SP): an 800-square-foot office building with parking, stormwater structures and landscaping on 4.14 acres MOL at 720 Clay Drain Road; the Project Review Committee recommends approval.
• 26-3721 (SE): Christian Brothers Auto - Wildwood Oaks, parcel G05Z001, zoned CMU; a proposed 5,372-square-foot automotive repair shop offering engine repair, transmission services, tune ups, battery replacement, and tire rotating, balancing or replacing in enclosed service bays; staff recommends approval.
• Ordinance O2026-66: Land Development Regulations text amendments, new Design District Standards for the Downtown Area, and updates to the Development Services Department fee schedule; staff recommends approval.

Code compliance cases

The Code Compliance Special Magistrate's Oct. 6 agenda listed two enforcement cases: Case #25-0021, Vermont LLL, 410 Terry Street, described as non-compliant with an enforcement order and fines for exterior maintenance, failure to abate, and junk/debris violations; and Case #26-0127, OM Beverage LLC, 405 N Main Street, described as non-compliant for greywater discharge into the stormwater system and failure to maintain plumbing.

Coming up

The City Commission holds a workshop on Oct. 19 covering Wildwood Police Department restructuring, the Gamble Street water line and landscaping project, mobile food dispensing vehicles and temporary commercial kitchens, and a code enforcement foreclosures presentation. The agenda summary provided does not list a start time.

Wildwood agendas: $5.7M water reclamation payment, 1,200-unit master plan, downtown design rules

Wildwood's City Commission and three advisory bodies have scheduled a week of spending, land-use and zoning items, according to published agendas. No minutes have been published for any of the meetings in the records provided, so no votes or outcomes are confirmed. Everything below is what was set for discussion or action, not what was decided.

City Commission: $5.7 million payment application

The City Commission's October 12 agenda includes a Water Reclamation Facility Project payment application for $5,747,627.35. Two other payment items are listed: a Millennium Park Improvements Project payment application for $142,592.47, and a final retainage payment of $62,517.87 for Community Center HVAC upgrades.

The same agenda lists first readings of ordinances on land annexations and zoning. Proposed annexations cover 1.64 acres on Wesleyan Way and 1.35 acres at CR 106 and CR 107. A proposed zoning map amendment would change 0.32 acres at 7078 Sewer Connect from R4C to R-2. A first reading is an initial step, not final adoption.

1,200-unit master plan on 828.492 acres

Two bodies took up the same master plan on October 6. The Project Review Committee met at 10:00 AM in the Commission Conference Room at 100 N Main Street; the Planning & Zoning Board/Special Magistrate met at 2:15 PM at City Hall, 100 N Main Street.

The plan, listed as 26-3671 (SP) VOSO Phase 31X, 35D&F, covers residential areas of up to 1,200 dwelling units and non-residential areas on 828.492 acres, more or less, on Parcels K25-001, K35-001, K35-002, K36-001, K36-002, Q01-001 and Q01-010. Staff recommends approval.

Three small parcels and land-use changes

The Local Planning Agency, with Special Magistrate Lindsay C.T. Holt, met October 6 at 2:00 PM at City Hall, 100 N Main Street, on three small-scale comprehensive plan amendments, each paired with a rezoning request. Staff recommends approval on all three.
