asset to the city and asked if the monument sign would be rented.

participation in the cost to build it.
Mr. Skat moved to approve based on Staff's recommendations.

Staff to review the use of the existing sign as well as
submission of an acceptable site plan for the location of the

Dick Holsombach, 511 Central Park Drive, Sanford stated that they
are developing this property for a company that several years ago
that they built a smaller building for in the same park. The
company has expanded to the point that they are double in the
size. This property has been designed in such a way as to keep
the traffic as far from the intersection as possible. It is also
designed in such a way that they will have complete circulation
on the site as opposed to having any trucks backing off site. He
stated that he has all of Staff's comments and agrees with them.
Mr. Holsombach stated that when this piece of property was
selected the owners felt that in the future they may want to
expand so they bought enough property for them to add another
5000 square feet. They do have the ability to expand in the
future.
