STAFF REPORTS A staff report was included in the agenda packet for the board's review. COMMISSIONERS REPORTS Mr. VonHerbulis asked for an update on the traffic signal at Northstar industrial Park on W. 1" Street. Mr. Robertson stated that he would check into it and report back. Mr. Lutz stated that prior to Planning and zoning review, staff should ask for a professionally drawn site plan to ensure all codes have been addressed. Mr. Kutz stated that with the improvements and development along the lakefront, the ducks are not being accommodated. Millard Hunt, 801 E. 2 nd Street, read the section of the ballot that referred to Ordinance No. 3432, which established the referendum, not the zoning change issue. There was a different Ordinance for zoning, which was approved by the City Commission. He also stated that the City Commission has approved a concept plan for redoing all of Fort Mellon Park and appropriated funds to continue the planning process. Doreen Freeman, 705 Mellonville Avenue, was questioning how the lines where drawn for the rezone without incorporating the entire park as described in the county records as well as the referendum. She was wondering since the Chamber and Civic Center properties were not incorporated, if the city had other plans that the citizens are not aware of. She would like to have the entire area zoned as a park. Jay Jurie, 408 S. Virginia Avenue, stated that Sanford has tremendous assets, which are the downtown historical district and Fort Mellon Park. He felt that Fort Mellon Park would be best preserved in its existing capacity, which is as a Park, an anchor for development around it. Also, the parking area on Palmetto across from the Library would make a great town square. Something the board also needs to look at is the advent of the mass transit, which will be going down the I- 4 corridor and how all of this will connect into that. Henry Sweet, 2300 Oak Avenue, wanted to make sure the board would be considering the entire park as described in the Ordinance when it is brought back before them. He also stated that if anyone on the board had any financial interest, they may want to recluse themselves because the decision should be objective. He was also concerned that some of the board members were not aware that the City is moving forward with major plans to improve the park. Jay Jurie, 407 S. Virginia Avenue, stated that he would like to see the building at First Street and French Avenue redeveloped instead of sitting there empty at the gateway corridor to the city The board did inform Mr. Jurie that they had approved a Kidney Dialysis Center to occupy the building, but City Commission overturned the approval. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at Noon. Ross Robert, Chairman
