Mr. Marder stated that it is Palmetto east, the parking lot basically to their northerly building setback, not including Harbour one Place parking lot. Under their franchise agreement, it is appropriate for them to restripe and seal the area. Mr. Dyal asked Mr Bambridge if the only parking places. they would have are directly to the left and the rest of the area will be reserved for people bringing boats in and out and that Monroe Harbour retail customers will park on the north side of the property. Mr. larder stated that the customers. will drive into the parking spaces that are provided in front of the sales area. Parking has been added on the north side also.

Seconded by Mr. Dyal for discussion. Mr. McClanahan asked if this area is part of the lease agreement between Lake Monroe Harbour and the City of Sanford. Mr. Marder stated that there is a lease and a franchise. Mr . McClanahan asked how will the City bill other entities that don't have any connection with the lease.. Mr. Dyal stated that if Mr . Volk is the only one entitled to the use., and that being what he is financially responsible for, he has a right to close the boat ramp. Mr Marder stated, that the city has certain powers of the lessee. It is in the City's agreement between the City and Lake Monroe Harbour, franchise or lease, and there is a great benefit primarily derived from this activity. It is not too much to ask, after 25 years, based on this expansion. The parking lot is a franchise. Mr. Bambridge stated that there is a minute percentage of when they use the ramp. He stated that he didn't believe that the boat ramp customers are a large user of fuel. In opposition to the motion was Mr. Valerino. All others in favor. Motion carried..

Staff hasn't been able to obtain the information that shows that the improvements will be brought up up to City standards. on the plat "dedicate to the public ", so we have a difference between what is on the proposed plat and, what is in the improvement plan.

Helen Stai , chairperson fQ, II 1 � 1 i J April 11, 1996 of Planning and Development TO: City of Sanford Planning and Zoning Commission SUBJECT: Recommendations for Meeting of April 18, 1996 BRIGHT STAR TOWER AND CONSULTING, INC. - Request conditional use approval to permit a communication tower of 250 feet in height for property Zoned MI -2, Medium Industrial, located on Albright Road. 1. Site includes approximately three acres, is vacant and is Zoned MI -2, Medium Industrial. 2. The applicant proposes to construct a guyed communication tower (three guy wires) that will be 250 feet in height. In addition, a 15' x 25' equipment shed will be located adjacent to the tower. 3. Adjacent uses include crankshaft rebuilding, miscellaneous manufacturing and warehousing, tractor trailer storage, a junkyard, an occupied mobile home that appears to be utilized for security purposes and vacant land. In general, the area west of Airport Boulevard is zoned for industrial development. The tower is proposed to be located approximately 700 feet from existing single family residential uses located on the east side of Airport Boulevard. 4. An existing communication tower of the lattice -self- supporting type is located approximately one mile northwest of site on Narcissus Road. That tower is approximately 200 feet in height. 5. On January 4, 1996 the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a similar request on this site for a 215 foot tower. 6. Recommend approval of request to establish a 250 foot high guyed communication tower thereby expanding upon a previously approved tower of 215 feet in height based on existing nonresidential character of immediate area surrounding site and prior approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Planning Recommendations - Page t NOTE: The following request for conditional use approval was considered and tabled by the Planning and Zoning Commission on April 22, 1994. The Expressway Authority has provided additional information which is attached. The following recommendation is based on such additional information. SEMINOLE COUNTY EXPRESSWAY AUTHORITY - BRINTON - Request conditional use approval to permit expressway - related facilities within a well -field protection zone for property located near the intersection of Hughey Street and Oregon Avenue. 1. The site within the Sanford City limits includes the northerly corner of the City of Sanford's Oregon Avenue Wellfield. That portion of the City -owned wellfield (and Soap Box Derby Park) is proposed to be utilized as right -of -way for the Seminole County Expressway. The wellfield includes various well heads. At the present time and for the foreseeable future, the Oregon Avenue Wellfield is the City's main source of potable water. 2. The requested conditional use involves Section 6.0 Wellfield Protection, Schedule M, Environmentally Sensitive Lands of the Land Development Regulations. A. The site is within the Primary Protection Zone which includes lands within 200 feet of any wellhead and requires uses other than recreation, open space or other wells to be permitted by conditional use. The request includes roadways that would be utilized as on/off-ramps in the expressway's interchange with Rinehart Road. B. The Secondary Protection Zone includes capture zone delineations determined by analyses of the St. Johns River Water Management District and requires open drainage cuts below the seasonal high water table to be permitted only as a condition use. The Expressway Authority proposes several wet drainage retention areas to be constructed within the secondary protection zone. The retention ponds will be deep enough to provide fill for other expressway facilities. The site itself (i.e., the northern portion of the City's Oregon Avenue Wellfield) includes areas within the secondary protection zone; generally, the secondary protection zone appears to be located in the unincorporated area of Seminole County and is not formally regulated by the City. Seminole County has not adopted wellfield protection zones at this date. 4. The City has incorporated the proposed expressway into its Comprehensive Plan and has strongly supported the proposed construction of the expressway segment in question as evidenced by resolution of support adopted by the City Commission. 5. The applicant has submitted a study dated March 28, 1996 by Barnes, Ferland and Associates (BFA) entitled "Environmental Impact Analysis of the Proposed Seminole County Expressway Ponds on the City of Sanford's Oregon Avenue Wellfield (Update)." The report generally analyzes the impact of the ponds upon the Floridan aquifer and how such impact could impact the City's Planning Recommendations - Page 2 wellfields. In general the report states that there would be no adverse impact from the ponds upon the City's wellfield for several reasons. One, the geologic formations underneath the ponds are thick and deep. The City's wellfields are cased to a depth of 350 -400 feet below the surface. The stormwater runoff will not cut into the water table. Any contaminants "should be effectively filtered by the 100 feet of surficial aquifer sediments, before reaching the Floridan Aquifer." 6. Based on above - mentioned BFA study submitted by the applicant, recommend that the conditional use request to construct expressway facilities, including but not limited to roadways and drainage retention ponds, within the primary and secondary protection zones around the Oregon Avenue Wellfield, be approved subject to the construction and perpetual maintenance of two monitoring wells as set forth in the BFA study. NEW TRIBES MISSION - Request a dimensional variance to a front yard setback for property Zoned RMOI, Multiple Family Resident, Office and Institutional located at 123 South Lee Avenue. 1. Site is Zoned RMOI, Multiple Family Residential, Office and Institutional and includes various existing buildings. 2. The applicant proposes to construct an addition to a building for the purpose of a school. The proposed building addition is to be located approximately five feet from the property line on Lee Street. 3. The applicant has submitted a document entitled "Supporting Affidavit to Applicant for Dimensional Variance" which sets forth conditions in the immediate area and the relationship of such conditions to the standards for approving a dimensional variance as set forth in the City's Land Development Regulations. 4. Adjacent buildings both on the site and off the site appear to have building setbacks that are less than the required 35 foot front yard. For example, the building immediately north of the proposed building has a "0" setback from the property line. 5. In general the site and immediate vicinity of site evidences existing building that have been established for twenty plus years. This is an older urban, built - up environment that has developed over a period of over 100 hundred years. 6. Recommend that the dimensional variance to construct a school building be approved based on the criteria submitted by the applicant and the general compatibility of the proposed building with uses and building configurations established in the immediate area over a period of many years.
