The first item on the Agenda was the consideration of the Site Plan for Tailored Foam of Fla., a 3800 s.f. building located at 102 Loren Court. Greg Wilson, Wilson and Associates, 903 W. 3 rd Street, Sanford, was present. He stated that Lots 14 and 15 have been approved with this same building. It was decided to move this maintenance building over onto this site. The building has been enlarged. The main reason for the 5' chain link fence with three strands of barb wire is for security because trucks are parked there overnight. Mr. Robert moved for approval. Seconded by Mr. Valerino. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request for a Conditional Use for Florida Irrigation located at 300 Central Park Drive for the purpose of allowing outdoor storage in a GC--2, General Commercial Zoning District. Laurie Moffett, 2400 Paseo Street, Orlando was present representing the owner. She stated that they are aware of the City's stipulations and that they have no problems with them. Mr. Kutz moved for approval conditioned upon Staff's recommendations. Seconded by Mr. VonHerbulis. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request for a Conditional Use for Ugly Duckling, property located at 2551 McCracken Road for the purpose of establishing an automobile detailing facility - outdoor storage MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 3, 2000 PAGE 2 of vehicles. William Buckley, Florida Land Design, 222 S.- Westmonte Drive, Altamonte Springs, Florida, was present. He stated that they would like to modify Item 2 of Staff's recommendations. What they are intending to do is utilize chain link fencing held back within the property as far as possibly solely for - security purposes and utilizing Type 1 and Type 2 Buffers to actually provide the screening that is necessary. They are proposing an 8' high chain link fence 70 to 801 from the back of the property. It will be on the inside of the retention pond. A Type 1 Buffer will be provided outside of that area along the backside of the retention pond between the houses. Mr. Buckley stated that they are not intending to provide any retail sales or service on the site. There is no need for any type of display area nor would there be a necessity for any big inflated sales advertisements. Detailing is to be done on the outside. All other minor services will be performed on the inside. There will be no underground or aboveground storage of any bulk materials. Petroleum type products and such will be limited to 5 gallon containers. Mr. Hipes moved to approve subject to Staff being comfortable with the landscaping plan. Seconded by Mr. Robert. Mr. VonHerbulis asked if the motion is to approve it per staff's recommendations and that they could go to galvanized fencing if the landscaping is satisfactory. Mr. Hipes stated that this is correct. Mr. Hipes restated his motion that he moves to approve subject to points 1 through 4 of staff's recommendations with point #2 that staff has the flexibility to waive subject to the landscaping, in addition to the applicant conforming to their letter of June 6 th as submitted to this Board. Mr. Robert seconded. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request for a Dimensional Variance for Bram Towers located at 519 E. 1 St Street for the purpose of an increase in fence height requirements: 4' required, 6' proposed, a variance of 2 1 . Jim Bussard, 519 E. l Street, Sanford, represented this request. He stated that the residents of Bram Towers have had to call the police over 50 times since the first of the year for stolen automobiles, burglaries and robberies, broken windows, etc. They have four front yards. The fence will only be exposed to the people surrounding their parking lot. 1"t Street will not be touched. He stated that because wrought iron is so expensive, they are asking for vinyl coated chain link. The fence will be a part of Cypress, Pine and 2nd Street. Chief Tooley was at a Board of Directors meeting and has suggested a fence. Mr. Bussard stated that the fence would have electric gates which the tenants would have a card to open and also cards for emergency vehicles which the fence would have 24' gates. The gates would also be operated from the desk inside which is manned by someone 24 hours per day. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 3, 2000 PAGE 3 Mr. Marder stated that chain link fence is not allowed in any front yards. Any front yard fencing i s to be of a decorative type. Mr. Bussard stated that the wrought iron fence is approximately $30,000, whereas the vinyl coated with electric gates would be $16 to $17,040. Mr. Kutz stated that it might make sense, a reasonable trade off, to install the wrought iron fence and omit the landscape requirements because the wrought iron fence will be an enhancement. To install the landscaping, the parking lot would have to be modified. Doreen Freeman, 705 Mellonville Avenue, spoke in favor of the request. She stated that there is quite a bit of crime at this location, quite a few robberies and car thefts. She asked that the Commission take this into consideration. Mr. Kutz moved for approval with staff's recommendations to vary the front yard fence height requirement from 4' to 6' with decorative type fencing such as wrought iron and minimize the landscaping. Mr. VonHerbulis seconded. After some discussion, Mr. Kutz amended his motion with the requirement to eliminate the landscaping requirements. Seconded by Mr. VonHerbulis. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to consider amending the Sanford Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map. Antonia Gerli, Senior Planner, represented this request. She stated that the City needed to react to attract more development and to revitalize the downtown. In 1999, the City Commission undertook a strategic planning process with input from the public. The need for development and redevelopment was expressed by the public. Development became one of the actions of the strategic plans. Several of the comprehensive plan amendments are designed to attract investment to the downtown and waterfront areas and to encourage revitalization and redevelopment. The amendments that will accomplish this are the establishment of the Waterfront Downtown Business District which is a new land use designation, the creation of a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area, and the creation of a new Comp Plan objective, the Urban Inf i l l Redevelopment Project. Ms. Gerli stated that the proposed Future Land Use Map designation called the Waterfront Downtown Business District includes the old Central Business District and most properties heading west of French Avenue between the Railroad tracks and Lake Monroe. This designation also extends on the east to Mellonville Avenue. This new designation is a mixed use designation. other designations are High Intensity I -4 designation, the Airport District and the Westside Industry and Commerce District. It envisions a variety of uses for residential, commercial, cultural and government uses. There would be the possibility that there would be those uses on all of the properties in this district. All parcels owned by the government in this area would now be designated as Waterfront Downtown Business District instead of public/semi- MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 3, 2000 PAGE 4 public. The recommended residential density is 50 units per acre. It is a density that is appropriate for small to medium size downtown areas. The floor area ratio west of French Avenue would remain at .35 for commercial development, and east of French Avenue would remain at 2. The other change provides for shared parking. Ms. Gerli stated that the Urban Redevelopment and Renewal objective has been recognized and expanded in order to better affect the City's programs and goals regarding urban renewal and revitalization. Urban Infill Redevelopment Project and Planned Development projects that are located on parcels in otherwise built up areas with the infrastructure already in place. Most of the areas in the City fit this description. The establishment of a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area is an area where the standards for concurrency may be relaxed in order to foster and promote redevelopment. In this case, the area is the eastern portion of the Waterfront Downtown Area. This text amendment includes new policies that are directed at developing a variety of transportation modes. It is directed at bicycle paths, pedestrian paths, bus routes, etc. Other changes include the Westside Industry and Commerce Designation. This policy has been amended to permit commercial development along State Road 46 between Airport Blvd. and I -4 in recognition of the changing land use patterns in that area. Right now the Airport Industry and Commerce Designation surrounds the Airport and the Airport is not in it. However, the text of the Comprehensive Plan places it in that district so this rectifies that mistake. It expands the uses so it makes it a truly mixed use district by allowing hotel and commercial, and also adds residential uses for staff and students of the airlines there. Ms. Gerli stated that the second part of the Comprehensive Plan Amendments deals with the Future Land Use Map. There are 12 amendments. David Moon, Solin and Associates, stated that one of the changes in the Comprehensive Plan update is that the Transportation Element has to address multi -modal transportation. It has to address bus, transit, etc. As roadway transportation becomes more congested, the Comprehensive Plan will move more in this direction. The intent with the Transportation Concurrency Exception Area, the approach in the Transportation Element, was to address those forms of transportation. Mr. Skat asked that Staff take a look at the 54 units per acre; Page 1-5, Site Plan Review Process, section on preservation, would like to see HPB review site plans within that district; Page 1 -10, deleting the extensions for PD, if the developer doesn't comply with the final development order he only has 30 days to reapply to the Commission not to exceed 6 months, is this being done away with. Mr. Marder stated that this is encompassed within the zoning. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 3, 2000 PAGE 5 Page 1 -17, December of 2003, why is it so long for the protection of historically significant properties? In the Housing Element, will we plan around the surplus and look at what is being absorbed? He questioned Page 1- 20, low and moderate income. Mr. Kutz asked if the Commission could review Apopka's 85' minimum lot width size ordinance. Mr. Skat stated that they would like to see all of the surrounding cities' ordinances regarding lot sizes. Mr. Skat also requested information regarding gross vs. net. The County is on net, the City is on gross on developments. He would like to see some consistency. Mr. Kutz stated that he didn't think the City should be cutting any slack on the parking space requirements. If a hardship is not demonstrated, we should not waiver. Millard Hunt, 801 E. 2n Street, stated that change is often good, but not always. He spoke on Site 1, the Waterfront Downtown Business District, stating that there are 411 acres which contains all of Ft. Mellon Park. Everyone has seen Ft. Mellon Park as an asset to be utilized and improved for public recreation. There are no suggestions for using it for commercial purposes. He stated that Ft. Mellon Park has been around for over 60 years. It was on or near a site of a major fort in the Seminole Indian Wars. It was named for a captain who was killed at that fort. It is historically significant and significant in the lives of Sanford people. He asked if the City is for sale. Another question he would raise is what should be the attitude of this Commission for the commitment the City made in the Referendum of November 3, 1998. The Referendum question at that time was should the City allow a hotel conference center on Ft. Mellon Park to enhance economic development, job opportunities, and park amenities for City residents. Should Ft. Mellon Park be in the Downtown Business District? Mr. Hunt stated that it should not be. Mr. Kutz stated that the community needs to buy a professional master plan. We need to know what is going to happen, how it will happen, how we plan the streets, how we plan the sidewalks, etc. Some commitments have to be made rather than generated by developers. Doreen Freeman, 705 Mellonville Avenue, asked if the Park is zoned as park- land. Mr. Gibson stated that the permitted use will continue and be permitted to continue. Mr. Marder stated that as part of the City's Budget, next year, there is $190,000 allocated to Ft. Mellon Park. Part of which will be to master plan the Park itself. The City is also looking at the Riverwalk Project, a design project, next year, in conjunction with the Seawall project. There were no comments regarding Site 2 which includes the Airport and several surrounding properties. Hugh Harling, 850 Courtland Street, Orlando, stated that they are in agreement with Staff's comments regarding Site 3, which is located on Hwy. 17 -92. He MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 3, 2000 PAGE 6 asked that the Commission approve this request. Michael Murray, 1399 W. SR 434, Longwood, was present for Site 4, located off of Hwy. 17 -92 between I -4 and French Avenue. Michael Grenay, 2461 Narcissus, stated that he is concerned especially with the storm drainage. There are artesian wells and the land is muck -land. During high rains the whole neighborhood floods. If the land isn't looked at really good, there will be a lot of people with a lot of flooding. Amanda Smith, Seminole County Planning Department, stated that in 1990 Seminole County and Sanford completed a Joint Planning Agreement which identified the area in question as an area that would be annexed into the City with a density level of MDR. The wetland area adjacent to 17 -92, north of the Railroad, would have a land use area of suburban estates and/or conservation. The proposed land use to amend this property is being recommended as the Waterfront Downtown Business District which allows up to 50 units per acre. The site plan does not appear to address the conservation of the wetlands with an appropriate land use designation. The County is very concerned that this will increase the intensity of the land use and is concerned how this proposed designation would be compatible with the adjacent property owners. The County is concerned that the increased intensity may be too excessive for that area. In the spirit of intergovernmental coordination, the County respectfully requested that a copy of any proposed engineering plan be provided to the County Development Review Division, to alleviate any concerns with adjacent County property owners and to keep them properly informed. The County wishes to work with the City to amend the Future Land Use Designation for the subject area to a more appropriate designation as specified in the JPA. Ms. Smith noted that the County and the City agreed, in 1991, that that area would only be designated as MDR and that the wetlands would be designated as suburban estates and conservation. Warren Fordham, 488 Palm Dr., Sanford, stated that this district is exceedingly low density and jumped to high density. 100 units in this area is too much. Bruce Stray, representing St. Thomas Chapel, which owns 5 acres adjacent to this project stated that he is in favor of the project because it brings utilities into the area. This project will help engineer the area and improve it. Neal Hiler, engineer for the project, stated that soils borings were done and the three artesian wells will be plugged. Jim Latham, owner of 2330 Narcissus, stated that he would like a block wall to go down the length of his property as well. Ms. Giles, 450 Riverview Avenue, stated that the flooding is a problem. What MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 3, 2000 PAGE 7 will happen in the rainy season? Lonnie Groot, 20 N. orange Ave., Orlando, along with Michael Harding, spoke in favor of Site 5 located on East Lake Mary Blvd. and Mellonville Avenue, south of the Airport. Mr. Harding stated that the planned use for the 300' adjoining Lake Mary Blvd. and Mellonville Avenue is to build a low rise, flex, office, wholesale type facility, more of a stip plaza. Mr. Groot stated that they have eliminated 17 permitted uses in the MI -2 Zoning District. The City is recommending RI -2 instead of MI -2 and he has no problems with this. Lance Abney, 2200 E. Lake Mary Blvd., Sanford, stated that this property is directly in front of his property and totally surrounds him. He stated that Site 7 of the Amendment is located on the south side of Lake Mary Blvd., and consists of 38 acres and is currently zoned industrial. The owner of that property is asking to change that property to low density residential. Immediately on the north side of Lake Mary Blvd., directly across the street, Mr. Hussein eventually would like to ask, when the retention pond issue is resolved, for all of the land to be zoned industrial with residential behind it. The amount of land totals 41 acres with 3 acres of wetlands, leaving 38 acres. What we have is 38 acres on the south side of Lake Mary Blvd. being asked to go from industrial to residential, and 38 acres on the north side that is being asked to go from residential to industrial. The same man owns the two properties on the opposite sides of the street. Richard Fowler, 3400 Whitner Way, Sanford, stated that over the years their neighborhood has become surrounded by industrial property. There is a small pristine lake, and an unusual and unique, diverse residential community. Many homes are historic, many are expensive, and many are on large parcels of land. A few of the uses that the applicant did not forego includes, indoor and outdoor manufacturing, hazardous indoor manufacturing, wholesale industrial activities, wholesale sales and services, wholesale industrial storage, hazardous industrial wholesale and storage use - indoor and outdoor. He asked that the Commission send a recommendation of suburban estates to the City Commission with a request that some impartial expert, such as the City Attorney, be asked to give an opinion as to whether this will create legal liability for the City. He asked that the Commission consider rezoning the medium density residential back to low density residential to rectify the fact that this was improperly granted. Linda Barker, 3405 Mellonville Avenue, stated that the residential land use has consistently been one house per two acres. They are not in favor of any industry on the north side of E. Lake Mary Blvd. George Wilson, 3280 Ohio Avenue, stated that there is a question of compatibility. Art Woodruff, 214 Summerlin Avenue, stated that according to the Joint Planning Agreement, this property was to stay single family. There will no longer be the buffer if industry is brought to their side of the street that their own property has provided in the past for those adjacent to the MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 3, 2000 PAGE 8 development, and in the Joint Planning Agreement this land was intended to stay residential and the property across the street was to provide the buffer. Beverly Baird Booth, 3358 Whitner Way, asked that the Commission protect her welfare, the welfare that is every citizen's right in Sanford, and let them have their quality, their gem. Site 6, Site 8, and Site 9 are strictly annexations. Tom Briskey stated that this is a 53 acre site and that the developer is proposing to down size to low density residential. They are proposing 138 units and 60 lot sizes. Mr. Skat disclosed that he had been contacted by Bill Kirchhoff voicing his objections to Site 11 which is for the location of a new sewage treatment plant. There was no one present to speak in favor of or against the text amendments. Mr. Kutz moved to approve the text because it is consistent with other provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan and provides for orderly development of the City. Seconded by Mr. VonHerbulis for discussion. Mr. Marder stated that one item that there is a consensus on in changing is to go with the net density and that Staff would share this with the Commission at its next meeting. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that the Commission also had comments about parking, lot widths, etc. He asked if the text should be tabled until the next meeting because he didn't want to approve it today and it hamper the Commission in altering it at the next meeting. Mr. Marder stated that he pointed out the net vs. gross density because this is something that is a comprehensive plan issue. The others are LDR issues that will be considered. Mr. Robert moved for approval of all of the sites with the exception to Sites 4 and 5. Motion died for a lack of a second. Because the amendments are consistent with other provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan and provide for orderly development of the City, Mr. VonHerbulis moved to approve the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map Amendments on Items 1, 2, 6 7, 8 9, 10, 11, and 12 as presented. Seconded by Mr. Kutz. All in favor. Motion carried. Mr. VonHerbulis recommended approval, finding the amendments are consistent with other provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan and provide for orderly development of the City for Site 3 for the Future Land Use to be designated as LDR, Low Density Residential, and Resource Protection. Seconded by Mr. Kutz. All in favor. Motion carried. Mr. VonHerbulis made a motion to approve Site 4 of the Comprehensive Plan that is consistent with the Future Land Use with Seminole County and City of Sanford to LDR, Low Density Residential, and Resource Protection and that this project be provided to the County per the original Joint Planning Agreement. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 3, 2000 PAGE 9 Seconded by Mr. Kutz. The owner has no objections. All in favor. Motion carried. Mr. Kutz moved on approval that the property be classified entirely as MDR -10 finding that the Comprehensive Plan change is consistent with other provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan and provide for orderly development of the City. Motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Kutz moved to deny the industrial zoning. Seconded for discussion by Mr. Hipes. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that the MDR -10 is already existing. Mr. Valerino in opposition. All others in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the Agenda was to consider a request to Rezone property located at 2885 W. Seminole Blvd. from Al, Agriculture (Seminole County) to that of PD, Planned Development (Venetian Bay). Michael Murray, 1399 W. SR 434, Longwood, represented this request. Mr. VonHerbulis questioned the 50' lots. Mr. Murray stated that not everyone of the lots are 50 some with colonial houses are bigger. The development is self contained with 100% of wall around it. Mr. Murray stated that this development will have 4.3 units per acre with lot depth of 110' and 60' widths here and there. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that he is also concerned about the drainage that sheet flows or gets to this property and requested that the City Engineer address outside water that now has to go around the property as opposed to just being inside this box. Mr. Murray stated that their drainage will not be a problem for anybody's else property. Their property is self contained. Governmental agencies will make them go to an outfall, if they have to they will make them go 5 miles down the road to do a drainage program. Whatever the governments will require, they will comply with. Amanda Smith, Seminole County, asked if the County could be given a chance to review the site plan and final engineering plans. Warren Fordham, 488 Palm Drive, stated that the applicant will have perfect drainage on their property. They have to build up then the water will go to the west and flood him out. Mr. Hipes moved on approval subject to 60' wide lots, Lots 43 to 74, along the entire western perimeter, a wall all the way around the property, modifications to be consistent with the Commission's rezoning to LDR and Comp Plan Amendments, with staff's recommendations, and no two - -story houses on Lots 65 thru 74 and Lot 56. Seconded by Ms. Dennison. Mr. Valerino stated that lots should be no less than 60 in width and no less than 115' deep. Mr. Valerino opposed to the motion. All others in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the Agenda was to consider the request to Rezone property located at 2900 Narcissus Avenue from AG, Agriculture and MI -2, Medium Industrial, to that of PD, Planned Development (Lake Monroe PD). MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 3, 2000 PAGE 10 Hugh Harling stated that they are requesting 50' wide lots with 105' to 110' in depth on this 178 acre development. Sole access is from 17 --92. There is no residential adjacent to their site. There is industrial to the east and south, to the north there are wetlands, and the Zoo is to the west. They have put as much footage for buffering as possible along the railroad tracks. Mr. VonHerbulis stated that he sees absolutely no reason why the lots in this project cannot be 60 He would like to see the area leading into the conservation area not have a wall blocking this off. Strictly put the wall by the railroad tracks, but where it goes into the woods, allow it to be natural. There was no one else present to speak in favor of or against the request. Mr. VonHerbulis made a motion to approve the rezone with consistency with the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the LDR future land use designation with staff's comments and inclusive of all lots being a minimum of 60' widths, 115' in length with the caveat of a brick wall not going all the way around the property being excluded in the areas that abut the conservation area. Seconded by Mr. Kutz. Mr. Skat stated that he would not vote because a traffic study wasn't provided. All others in favor. Motion carried. Next on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request to rezone property located at the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Mellonville Avenue and E. Lake Mary Blvd. from SR -1A, Single Family Residential to that of MI -2, Medium Industrial. Lonnie Groot represented this request. He stated that he knew the Commission couldn't take favorable action to the request because of the prior recommendation. He stated that all hazardous uses will be eliminated. In terms of compatibility, this zoning is compatible with the Sanford Airport. Mr. Kutz moved to deny based on no proof of compliance with the consistency of the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. VonHerbulis seconded. Mr. Valerino opposed. All others in favor. Motion carried. Ms. Dennison moved to approve the Minutes as circulated. Seconded by Mr. VonHerbulis. All in favor. Motion carried. Mr. Valerino suggested that staff confer with the Chairman on long agendas. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 1:30 A.M. Michael Skat, Chairman
