Transitional zoning of that portion of property East of the Railroad tracks. !M~ Mclntosh, Attorney for' Keller Industries, responded as follows: 1. Now considered. 2. Railroad will not allow a fence along a siding. 3. If it's ok with the Railroad, it's ok with us. 4. Will use City water and shallow well water; shallow well about the size of a residential family's irrigation unit, for use approximately every other day. 5. We again commit to that. 6. Have no control over that. 7. No intention. 8. None at all. 9. The City Engineer required us to meet Federal, State and Local regulations. We intend to abide by those. 10. Covered by bins with exterior walls, but no roof. No storage above walls. 11. Not up to Keller Industries. Mr. Fowler asked if they could have a written committment, to go with the verbal one. Mr. McIntosh stated that if it is approved by the City Attorney, the validating attorney, then there is no problem at all. Mr. Dritz asked if Keller Industries would buy scrap "off the street". Mr. McIntosh stated they would not. Gordon Meyer asked if the second site wasn't closer to residences than the original site on Silver Lake Drive.

Mr. Ron Richards, Hunt Industries, 1401 Elm Street, Dallas, Texas, stated: 1. Environmental controls: We are satisfied in our minds that Keller Industries will meet all federal, state and local regulations. 2. Development standards were placed on that property at the time of entering into the contract. Set backs, parking, etc. 3. Paving of Cornwall only to Keller Industries is not in the best interest of,:our company; will have to go to Mellonville. 4. Zoning: think we have the legal rights to leave it as it is. 5. Screening: Cannot dictate to Keller Industries other than the storage be screened from public view. Railroad will not per- mit screening in their r~ght-of-way. 6.Sanora South: Hunt sold property to developer and they knew of the industrial zoning. 7.

Mr. Richards answered "NO". Mr. Fowler asked if Hunt Oil would plant screening trees along the property front- ing on Mellonville Avenue. Mr. Richards stated that if it is no expense to Hunt Oil or Keller Industries, they will permit it. Mr. Meyer asked why they could not use Seminole County Industrial Revenue Bonds. The Mayor stated that since the property is in the City, it should be issued by the City. John Krider stated that the property had been zoned MediUm Industrial since 1962; the site had been changed from the intersection of Silver Lake Drive and Mellonville Avenue after a conference held by Keller Industries with members of the concerned citizens group; and the site they are on now is preferable to Keller Industries. John Morgan asked what would happen if the plant is a real nuisance, smoke, noise, etc. The Mayor stated that the Environmental Protection Agency would take care of that.
