Mrs. Stairs requested- that the Agenda be corrected to show 5' on
24th Street for the landscaping buffer. Mr. Stogner stated that
there are 14 parking spaces and one handicap parking space shown.
He noted that there are two parking spaces with equipment displayed
in them. He asked if the request is asking for the reduction of 8
parking spaces. Mr. Thomas stated that 23 parking spaces are
required with the addition to the existing building: He stated
that the request is for a variance of 8 spaces because the addition
would be for storage only. Mr. Thomas stated that they would be
removing parking spaces from under the canopy and relocating them.
There are 14 parking spaces with one handicap space on -site now and
this is what will remain.
Mrs. Sonnenberg passed out a survey of the property. Mr. Dyal
asked the applicant if he had had a chance to review staff's
recommendations. Mr. Thomas stated "yes ", and that he would be
resubmitting the site plan with corrections. Mrs. Sonnenberg
pointed out that Mr. Thomas was talking about Staff's
recommendations of the site plan, and not the variance.

Mr. Thomas reiterated that the addition to the building is for
storage. When the building. is enlarged it will require more
i
parking spaces. Mr. Dyal asked f the spaces that are there now,
would present a problem with a full car lot. Mr. Bishop stated
that sometimes there is a problem. Mr. Dyal asked if this business
is in compliance today with the number of parking spaces. Mrs.
Sonnenberg stated that it was in compliance when it was built but
that she had not calculated the parking spaces for today's
regulations. Mrs. Stairs asked if the addition to the building
would have an impact on the parking. Mr. Bishop stated that he
does not anticipate any more impact. Mr. Davis asked if on the
proposed plan, does it show 9 parking spaces. Mr. Thomas
stated "Yes".
Ms. Holt - Miller stated that she had noticed that some parking_
spaces are being used for display and that most of the time the
parking lot is congested. Mr. Bishop explained that they use one
parking space for display and that this is normal procedure. Mr.
Davis asked if the loading area is counted as a parking space. Mr.
Bishop stated "no ". Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that the loading area
is a walkway and that it is not the size of a parking space, that
it is smaller.
Mr. Stogner stated that he had noticed two parking spaces taken up
with merchandise. Mr. Bishop stated that it is the company's
intention to use the loading area for display. If this is a
problem, they can certainly make some changes. Mr. Robert pointed
out that in the letter from the attorney, that there is a possible
solution. Mr. Bishop stated that he likes the idea and would look
into using the property to the south for possible employee parking.
Mr. Dyal asked Staff if the signage was confo ing to City
standards. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that there were no problems with
the signage. Mr. Bishop stated that he had no problems with
Staff's recommendations.
In opposition to the request was Mr. Ken Leffler, 2303 -11 S. French
Avenue. He stated that he wants to see Sanford prosper because he
is a part of the community, but at the same token, he does not want
the expansion of Cash America to hurt his business. The area is
congested. Mr. Leffler stated that if Cash America would, move the
employee parking, there may be enough room for their customers.
The other problem is that some spaces have merchandise in them. He
would like to see something worked out so that it would be fair to
Cash America as well as being fair to him. Mrs. stairs asked Mr.
Bishop if it is possible to gain two employee parking spaces if the
Commission recommended no display of merchandise in the parking
spaces and if this would be acceptable. Mr. Bishop stated "yes ".
Mr. Leffler stated that if this was done there would be more people
willing to park in the designated parking spaces, and repair of the
fence would help. He stated that may be cash America could
consider off-street parking. Mr. Robert asked if it would be ruled
out for Cash America to approach him for off - street parking on his
property. Mr. Leffler stated 'yes ".
Mr. Davis moved to deny. seconded for purposes of discussion by
Mr. Dyal. Mr. Davis stated that this would be a 30% reduction in
parking spaces for this business. He stated that cash America
needed * to submit a plan or a solution to rectify the parking
situation. Ms. Holt - Miller concurred and stated that they needed
an idea for employee parking. All in favor. Motion carried.

consider a request for a Dimension Var ' ance for property located as
the northwest corner of 3rd Street a d Myrtle Avenue in an Sc -3,

a vacant lot covered with concrete, and that he wants to put up a
storage warehouse. Mr. Stogner asked if his plans identified 9
parking spaces. Mr. North stated "yes ". He stated that he will
occupy the bay on the east side. Mr. Davis pointed out that the
finished f loor elevation is not 16 with the centerline of the
road, that it will be about 8" higher than the road. Mr. North

owner. She stated that they would like to have 3 executive

family living. one apartment will be two bedroom, owner occupied,
one - one bedroom apartment and a studio. She stated that she will
be managing the apartments. Mr. Stogner asked Mrs. Stairs if she
had met with the Historic Board. Mrs. Stairs stated "yes", and
that she had to get permission to put in another stairwell. She
stated that. they had to put in the original stairwell. She stated
that the Historic Board is more concerned with the outside and that
this request entails changes to inside only. She stated that the
building is, structurally sound and would consist of extensive
interior renovations. Mr. Dyal asked Staff if the historic group
had made any comments. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated "no ", that she had
not received any comments from the Historic Preservation Board.
Chris Cranias, 8219 Via Bella, Sanford, stated that this is
something that is in the Duany Plan. People can shop and live in

Mrs. Stairs stated, that this request is necessary because there is
no designat d parking in the area which is conducive with Downtown.
There are some areas that are n •
at busy after 5. and in all
probability., the tenants would not be using parking during the day.
Mr. Dyal as�ed how many buildings downtown are similar to this
request. Mrs. Stairs stated that this would probably be the second

apartments with one or two tenants. Mr. Dyal asked if the owner
would be on -site. Mrs. Stairs stated that these buildings connect
and that she would be managing both. Mr. Stogner asked if there
were any comments from the Historic Preservation Board. Mrs.
Stairs stated that the Historic Preservation Board has given them
its blessings. She stated that she had to go before the Board to
