Mr. Marder stated that the City of Sanford's Comprehensive Plan is in compliance with Chapter 163. There is section in the Comp Plan specifically devoted to the 17-92 redevelopment effort. Questions were asked as to the 6 laning into Sanford. Mr. Fall stated that the CR.A does not have anything to do with the expansion of 17--92. This is a DOT effort. Mr. Marder stated that there is a designated portion of French Avenue, basically from Park Drive north, as a constrained facility. This facility is the way it is, and its not going to get any better. It is too expensive to buy the right -of -gray. The lakefront out to the bridge is also a constrained facility because of an environmental factor. But, we do need to get it 6 laved up to Airport Blvd,, because we do have some transportation capacity problems in there. !r. Fall stated that there will not be a uniform body that will control the future of that strip in regards to everything from signage to powerlines, to the roads, landscaping to the sidewalks. The allowances and flexihilities are there. The intent of this program is to keep the tax base growing at competitive rate. There are no plans for any design standards, or any takings of any properties. Mr. Dyal stated that it does make sense to have one body that controls the future of that strip so that there is continuity through there. He also stated that he does not understand the representation on the CPA, He cannot imagine the City of Sanford having one seat when the City has more than 1 /7th of land and the incremental increases in revenues, Mr. Dyal stated that he would not support any venture that doesn't dive us at' least the percentage of the portion that we represent. Mr. Fall stated that this could be modified, it is recommendation from the staff. MINUTES PINING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 1997 PAGE Mr. Dyal read from Staff's recommendations that the overall goal or mission of this effort are not setforth. What we are basically doing is saying are we willing to get together and have cooperative to give away the incremental increase in our tax revenues for the betterment of 17-9 and do we trust the people that we are giving the money to and the answer in his opinion would be yes, if we have the correct percentage of seats. We have to protect our money. After a lengthy discussion, Mr. Skat moved in favor of the 17-9 Redevelopment Plan as being in conformity with the City's Comp Plan. Seconded by Mr. Stogner. A11 in favor. Motion carried. 1r. Marder was asked to relay concerns of this Commission to the City Commission and, specifically, to increase the number of representatives to 8 and that 2 be from Sanford. Mr. Marder explained that with regards to the parking, notwithstanding the fact that the genesis of the group was to consider land uses as the concerns about the Labor pool and a potential church, however, the committee, when looking at development in downtown, they felt the parking requirements were deleterious to the businesses that were trying to occupy the existing building. These buildings were not constructed to provide off street parking. These business should not be required to provide the parking now, We should allow the private markets to do what they want, basically. We reed to remove the parking requirements regardless if there is a change in land use. This doesn't mean that a new building would not have to provide parking. We grant to encourage business activities to be on the first floors and allow residential uses on the second floors, by right, Mr. McClanahan recommended to place the SC-3 Zoning of downtown on an agenda early next year to consider for recommendation to the City Commission.

In my opinion, she has done a very good job in chairing a most difficult Board. Thank you, Helen. All members on this Board voice their views and differences at almost every meeting. I think we all understand our job. But I would hope this Board will never attack each other on a personal basis, I feel this is in bad taste and brings embarrassment to our City. Let's always resolve any personal issues and come to each meeting ready to tackle the job at hard. Its not the Board, nor is it the Chairman or Nice Chairman Chats the issue.
