Orlando Sanford Airport Noise Abatement.
Lake Mary City Planner Matt West reported that a recent newspaper article outlined the O~ando-Sanford Airport's five
(5) year strategic plan, which includes inceasing its cargo flights and charter traffic, and negotiating with passenger ai~ines, which
has raised concerns of Lake Mary and Sanford residents who are in the flight path of the Airport, particularly given the fact that
the main commercial rimway nms east and west at orientation, and that six miles out is the outer marker for planes to land, which
is just south ofTimacuan' s entrance on Rinehart Road. Further, an Airport Noise Abatement Board was established to study and
make recommendations to abate the noise, and that the Board held a meeting on February 5, 1997, at which time the public had
an opportunity to provide input. Also, there is discussion about putting an ILS System at the east end of the Airport, in which case,
the planes would take off towards Lake Mary.
Mayor Dale reported that the Airport is the driving force in the economy.
Jack Dow, Sanford Airport, reported that the recently organized Noise Abatement Board has a balanced membership, and is
pattemed after Orlando International Airport' s Noise Abatement Board, which has proven to be successful. Further, the Board
is in the problem identification phase, and is still compiling dam, that the second phase will be the scientific evaluation of noise,
followed by evaluation, recommendation, implementation and monitoring. Two successful steps in noise abatement to date
include: 1 ) reducing the speed limit for commercial aircraft approaching the Airport, which has reduced noise and saved on fuel
consumption (a 60% reduction in complaints since the reduced speed limit), and 2) having aimraft descend over Jacksonville,
Ormond Beach and Lake Monroe, which confines noise to over the water and less densely populated areas. Potential flaPare
improvements not yet evaluated include a second instrument landing system and a balanced traffic flow.
Commissioner Brender reported that the ILS approach from the east does not n~es~iy mean a de~e to the
west, and that there is no reason for SANAC not to look at having aircraft decend over Laf~e Monroe and t~i mlRmnd at
about four (4) miles. Further, this is clearly a noise issue, but both' Commissions would be remiss i~dhties if they did not
look at this as a safety issue as well.

JOINT WORK SESSION February 24 1997
Rinehart Road Planning Area,
City Planner Matt West reported that the Cities of Sanford and Lake Mary share some common interest in Rinehart Road, recognize
that Rinehart Road will be a gateway into both jurisdictions as well as Seminole County, and that it might be advamageous for both Cities
to enter into a joint planning agreement.
City of Sanford Director of Planning and Development Jay Marder distributed a planned development map, which shows maj or
committed planned development throughtout the City, and stated that Section "E" is zoned for planned development/mixed use, which
includes a "high intensity" (20 to 40 units per acre) 175 unit residential project known as Southridge, as well as 80,000 square feet of
commercial space, 20,000 square feet of office space, and 275 hotel rooms. Further, the area around 46A is uncommitted, but is included
in the "high intensity" land use designation. Section "F' is zoned multiple-family. In response to Commissioner Sawyer, Mr. Marder
stated that the maximum height for buildings in this area is 200 feet, 35 feet for most of the City, and 50 feet in commercial zones. Also,
the City of Sanford has a joint planning agreement with Seminole County.
City Manager Simmons reported that be anticipates the area north of 46A being annexed into the City as it is developed, and asked
what the density is forthe apartment complex being constructed on Rinehart Road south of Timacuan, to which Mr. West responded 8.76
units per acre.
County Road 46A Beautification.
City Planner West reported that Seminole County Staff is in ihe process of identi~ng target corridors and entry ways into the
County, that the County is possibly looking to increase the 3% ride for road widening beauti~cation/enhancement to 6%, and that the
widening of 46A from Rinehart Road to Upsala Road is believed to be one of these target corridors.
Mayor Mealor reported that Lake Mary and Sanford share 46A, that landscaping buffers may be a way of addressing some of the
issues brought forward by various homeowner groups, and asked if the City of Sanford would be interested in a joint CR 46A road
enhancement effort,
City Manager Simmons reported that both Cities and the County have joined into an agreement to run reclaimed water out to CR
46A, that there are four (4) lanes divided by a median which splits the east and west lanes thus leaving the funeral home in the middle,
that the City has not taken advantage of the 3% money from the County, and that his understanding is that the County would provide 3%
funding for landscaping, with the question of who does the work and who maintains same.
Commissioner Lyons stated that he was in favor of zero scape.
Commissioner Lessard reported that landscaping is needed to provide a buffer in commercial and industrial areas, and around the
auto train area.
After discussion, the consensus of both Commissions was to pursue landscape beauti~cation/enhancement of CR 46A.
Joint Procurement of Fire Ladder (Tower) Truck
City Manager Simmons reported that Sanford has the only tower truck, which is inoperable, north of Longwood; that it would be
advantageous for Lake Mary, Sanford and Seminole County to jointly purchase a new track, which would be $200,000.00 for each entity;
for a total of $600,000.00, plus manning, operational and maintenance costs.
-City Manager Litton reported that it would be incumbent upon on Seminole County to participate, that he would consider
participating in providing funding up front for a tower track, however, no money is currently budgeted for same, and he would be willing
to pay for personnel to man the truck, but not to provide the personnel. '
:.
Mayor Mealor reported that faust response is important, and that he would be willing to bring the issue up during the budget process.

Mary Dody, 111 North Orange Avenue, Suite 1800, Orlando, Florida, appeared and reported that she is legal counsel for APT
Tampa Orlando, Inc., which is a teleeommunications prorider, and proposed that Ordinance 3326 be modified, as follows: 1 ) Section A,
Separation Standards, apply the same separation standards for multi-family dwelling units to single-family dwellings, 2) Section F,
Modification, strike the last sentence or state that existing towers that are modified shall not have to meet separation standards, 3 ) Section
H, Antennas, consideration be given to camouflage antennas which are mounted on the sides of buildings or steeples to blend in with
existing structures, 4) Section t, Co-location. Ms. Dody stated that the Telecommunieations Act of 1996 gives Cities zoning authority,
that Ordinance No. 3326 goes far beyond what is required for any other developer, that it authorizes the City to determine whether two
private business parties are taking reasonable positions in a negotiation on co-location, and suggested that the regulations contained in
said proposed Ordinance No. 3326 are violatire of the Act.

that no specific citation has been alleged to be illegal, that the proposed ordinance, which it is a fair first attempt to regulate
telecommtmications, has been reviewed with Staff, that the City can either adopt Ordinance No. 3326, and free time it

setback requirement contained in Section H, which is basically an aesthetic consideration, is not absolutely necessary, and that
he has not seen camouflage antennas as described by Ms. Dody. Further, Section F could be alleviated by grand-fathering existing
towers, and Section I, Co-location, states that financial information may be provided, it is not required..

Request from Alexander Freyman for a waiver of the City Code to enclose a ~arage at the residence at 113 Krider Road.
Jim Barks, 1120 West First Street, appeared and reported that he represents Dr. Freyman, that his client is requesting a waiver of
the zoning code to enclose a garage in the Sanora Subdivision, which has been done to six(6) to eight (8) other homes in said subdivision.

a permit, and that notice has been served by the Building Inspector to cease construction and remove the wall.

waiver, and Commissioner Lyons concurred.
City Manager Simmons referenced memorandum dated February 14, 1997, from Assistant City Attorney Katie Reischmann, which
addresses the issue of "waiver" versus '~ariance", and stated that he believes the intent of the City Commission when it adopted the Land
Development Regulations, was to maintain carports/garages, and not to allow them to be changed. Further, in response to Commissioner
Willjams, some building permits have been approved without consideration of the zoning implications; but waiver of this particular
section of the LDR has never been requested.
Ann Gifford, 118 Krider Road, appeared in opposition to the requested waiver, and stated that Sanora deed restrictions require
a garage.
Jean LaMoine appeared and reported that she is treasurer of the Sanora Homeowners Association, that matters such as this should
be brought before the board, and that the property is not in good standing with the association.
