Mr. White pointed out that study of the Zoning Ordinance is in order
because of the difference is sq. ft. from SR -1 to SR -1A. He asked
the Staff to request the Planning & Zoning Board to study the question
• of the great difference and find a solution.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

MEMORANDUM
T0: MR. B. L. PERKINS, CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
FROM: JOHN F. DARBY, 1324 E. 24TH ST., SANFORD edrii g. aZ
MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, CITY
OF SANFORD. MY NAME IS JOHN DARBY AND MY WIFE AND I LIVE ON THE
CORNER OF BEL AIRE BLVD. AND E. 24TH STREET.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PRESENTATION IS TO RECOMMEND TO THE
BOARD THAT THEY DENY THE REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE
AS IT PERTAINS TO LIVING AREA REQUIREMENTS IN SR-1A ZONED DISTRICT,
IN LOTS 3 AND 4, BLOCK 12, BEL AIR.
WHEN WE BUILT ON LOTS 7 AND 8, BLOCK 12, IN 1954, WE HAD TO
•
COMPLY WITH THE 1300 SQUARE FEET MINI MUM AND IT IS MY OPINION AND
THE OPINION OF OTHER HOMEOWNERS IN THE AREA THAT THERE SHOULD BE
NO EXCEPTION GRANTED TO THE OWNER OF THESE LOTS.
OZIER WELLER BUILDERS WERE GIVEN A VARIANCE TO CONSTRUCT
HOMES ON EACH SIDE OF LOTS 3 AND 4, SMALLER THAN 1300 SQ. FT. AFTER
WORLD WAR II. THERE WAS A SEVERE HOUSING SHORTAGE THEN AND RETURNING
VETERANS NEEDED HOMES BADLY. TODAY THERE ARE A NUMBER OF HOUSES
NEARBY WHICH ARE EMPTY OR FOR SALE. IF THE BOARD GRANTS THIS
VARIANCE, IT WILL TEND TO LOWER PROPERTY VALUES IN THE VICINITY AND
YOU WILL SEE MORE "FOR SALE" SIGNS THAN YOU NOW HAVE ON HOMES IN
THE AREA. You WILL ALSO HAVE HOME OWNERS SEEKING ADJUSTMENTS IN
THEIR CITY TAXES IF YOU LOWER YOUR ZONING REQUIREMENTS ON THESE
• LOTS.
THE FACT THAT THERE ARE HOUSES BELOW 1300 SQ. FT. IN THE
AREA IS NOT A VALID REASON TO PERMIT OTHERS. THERE IS NO LOGIC
_
IN MAKING ANOTHER MISTAKE BECAUSE A MISTAKE WAS MADE OVER A QUARTER
OF A CENTURY AGO.
MRS. ALBERTINA RUSSI, WHO OWNS AND LIVES IN THE HOUSE NEXT
TO LOTS 3 AND 4, BLOCK 12, CIRCULATED A PETITION FOR PROPERTY OWNERS
SURROUNDING LAKE JEM TO SIGN. THIS PETITION WAS PICKED UP BY THE
MAIL MAN FROM MRS. WARREN KNOWLES' MAIL BOX AND SENT TO ORLANDO TO
THE LOST MAIL SECTION AND WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RETRIEVE IT AS OF
THIS DATE. MRS. RUSSI IS ON A TRIP TO EUROPE WITH HER SON, TONY.
I AGREED TO PRESENT IT TO YOU TODAY.
IF THE BOARD NEEDS THIS PETITION TO COME TO A DECISION ON
THIS VARIANCE, I REQUEST THAT THIS MATTER BE DEFERRED UNTIL A
LATER DATE.
