Signed: Marvin Meltzer Owner 410 r Board of Adjustment January 9, 1969 Page 2 Mr. Lee Samuel, representative for Mr. Meltzer was called before the Board to explain the proposed future plans of the company and to show just cause as to why the variances were needed. He explained that the need for added working and office space was imperative for the growth and expansion that is expected in the near future. A general discussion followed and as parking seems to be a serious problem at the present time and any addition in the front of the existing building would add to the traffic hazard that now exists. It was the general feeling of the group that any variance in the front yard area would have to be denied. Mr. Karns moved that a side yard variance of 10' be granted but the 6' front yard variance be denied. Seconded by Mr. Strickland, voting was unanimous. • Next the Board took into consideration the letter of variance requested by Mr. Kay Shoemaker regarding the off - street parking regulation at the Town and Lake Apartment. The letter read as follows: Board of Adjustment City Hall Sanford, Florida Gentlemen: I am submitting the following information for your consideration in requesting variance in the Zoning Ordinance as it pertains to off - street parking and loading yard setback requirements in C -2 General Commercial Zoned district. Legal description being all of Block H, First Street Extension, property location 711 East First Street, Sanford, Florida. 411 The planned use of the property is expansion o f present apartment complex. Any consideration given this request will be appreciated. Signed: A. K. Shoemaker Ir — 7 Board of Adjustment III Page 3 January 9, 1969 A short discussion followed as members of the Board discussed the various pros and cons of the variance request and it was the conclusion of the members that as these apartments were up -to -date, beautifully landscaped and well cared for that any addition to the existing facilities would be an asset to the community. Mr. Risner presented someof the facts concerning these apart- ments and it was learned that these would appeal to the elderly citizens and notall would have automobiles and would therefore not need as many parking spaces as specified by the Zoning Ordinance and that at the present time the existing parking area was not filled. Other means of meeting the Zoning Ordinance for off - street parking were discussed but no feasible solution could be arrived at, so the Board felt that due to the circumstances of this particular location that the variance should be granted, but • that it need not set a precedent for any off - street parking variance request submitted in the future. Mr. Strickland moved that the variance in the Zoning Ordinance as it pertains to off - street parking and loading be granted. Mr. Julian seconded the motion, voting was unanimous. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned. W/i.e./ '\ , . Chairman ILA Ai L1 / Secretary ' i 0 c L ■AJ
