Owner: Seminole County School Board; representative: Dianne L. Kramer. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF JUNE 16, 1994 PAGE 2 Chris Birkebak was present for representation. She stated that this request is to increase the building height, decrease the number of parking spaces, and decrease the parking space width. Dawn Hetzger, architect, also present for representation, stated that there is no mechanical equipment on the roof, it is on the ground. She stated that 10' parking spaces are luxurious and that 9' is more realistic. The number of parking spaces being requested is atypical of an office building. The building consists of a large storage area. There will be 209 employees. Based on the architect's study, the number of parking spaces being requested is adequate for this use. Mr. Speer asked the purpose of reducing the spaces from 10' to 9 1 . Ms. Hetzger stated that they had evaluated the number of parking spaces for this site and had come up with a comfortable 400. In order to accommodate 400 parking spaces on site, the reduction in width is necessary. She stated that there are green spaces with trees being proposed for future growth which could provide up to 48 additional spaces. Mr. Marder stated that they must have quite a few spaces for their meetings because at times it could get fairly crowded. Mr. Speer stated that commercial areas don't know how many people will be at a site at any given time. He stated that he doesn't find that it will be this way at this facility so why give them a variance on the width. Mr. Brooks stated that the School Board has union meetings and meetings for employees from all over the county. Board meetings are open to all citizens in Seminole County. At times this facility could become very crowded. Dianne Kramer stated that there are spaces in the building that are for training, warehousing, and other uses other than for offices. This is basically how the number of parking spaces came about. Mrs. Stairs moved to approve based on similar waivers, documentation from the School Board and staff's recommendations. Seconded by Mr. Davis. Mr. Speer and Mr. Dyal in opposition. Mr. Brooks and Ms. Bolt - Miller abstained. All others 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 property located at 3825 Orlando Drive in a GC -2, General Commercial Zoning District, for the purpose of a public service structure (cellular transmission tower.) Owner: Louis wolf, Trustee; representative: Mack N. Cleveland, Jr., Agent for BellSouth Mobility. Mack N. Cleveland, 209 N . oak Ave., stated that they are asking for a 140 high tower. BellSouth has conducted a comprehensive investigation in trying to operate as efficiently as they can. He stated that this site will be bounded on the north by a mobile service station, on the east by Sunland Estates, to the south by vacant property and to the west by 17 -92. Mr. Cleveland stated that FAA approval has been granted. He stated that ,there are no health hazards and will be no television or radio interference. The area is highly vegetated with trees ranging in height from 60' to 80 He stated that there is a 15' access easement going from 17-92 into the site. A certain number of the trees will be removed to have access onto the site and for construction of the tower. Mrs. Stairs asked if the tower would interfere with television reception. Mr. Cleveland stated "no." Gordan Williamson, BellSouth, 17221 Grassy Lake Rd., Clermont, stated that they operate over 50 sites in Orlando and have never had any interference problems. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING ' OF JUNE 16, 1994 PAGE 3 Mrs. Stairs stated that her main concern is with interference. Based on staff's recommendations she moved to approve. Seconded by Mr. Dyal. Mr. Valerino asked if the motion is with the stipulation that all natural vegetation remains. Mrs. Stairs stated "yes." All in favor. Motion carried. The next item was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request for a conditional Use for property located at 50 and 60 Keyes Court in an RI -1, Restricted Industrial Zoning District, for the purpose of a waiver of the land use compatibility requirements for a visual screen, Type 1 and a 25 buffer. Owner: Keyes Seminole Industrial Park; representative: Jack Munf ield. John Munf ie ld , 1180 Spring Center Blvd., Altamonte, stated that the lots are not very deep and in order to construct an adequate size building, the waivers are needed. Mr. Davis asked what is a waiver of setbacks. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that there is a setback requirement when there is a residential vs. a commercial zone. when an industrial parcel abuts a residential parcel there is a type 1 visual screen and a 25' buffer requirement. Type 1 screen is a masonry wall, type 2 is a vegetative hedge. Mr. Davis asked if the setback would meet the code. Mr. Marder stated that the setback that they are asking for will meet code. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that they will meet the normal 20' setback AND 5' buffer, but in land use compatibility they won't meet the 50' setback, or 25' buffer. Allan Bullock, Teen Challenge, 3707 S. Sanford Ave., asked the Commission to respectfully deny the request because of the zoning standards and because of the learning areas provided for the students of 'Teen Challenge. He stated that their primary concern is for the students. The atmosphere must cultivate learning. Each end of the four buildings, adjacent to the lots in question, represents four major areas for Teen Challenge. The end building represents the classrooms and the women's dormitory. This is 12' from the edge of the building to the fence line. The second building is the chapel. The third building represents the educational wingand building 4 is a one year men's residential facility and study area. Quiet on that end is very important. Mr. Munfield stated that Lot 5 will be leased to Sunstate Awning. Lot 6 is a speculation building with no tenant at this time. Mr. Davis moved on approval for type 2 visual screen and a 5' buffer as recommended by staff. Seconded by Mr. Dyal. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request for a Dimensional Variance for property located at 3605 Orlando Drive, in a GC -2, General Commercial zoning District, for the purpose of allowing an increase in the number of freestanding/ detached signs from one to three for Seminole Centre. Owner: Kimco Development of Seminole; representative: Mark Trommsdorff. Kevin Hipes, Kimco Realty, 105 Aldean Drive, stated that the smaller, local tenants wanted more visibility. It would not be profitable to expand the pylon sign in front of the property. It was decided that two smaller directional signs would be better for the area. The smaller signs will help customers find the stores more easily and the tenants would be happier with a little more visibility. Ms. Holt- Miller moved for approval. Seconded by Mr. Dyal. All in favor. Motion carried. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF JUNE 16, 1994 PAGE 4 The next item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request for a Dimensional variance for property located at 2519 Palmetto Avenue in a GC -2, General Commercial Zoning District, for the purpose of a sideyard setback - 9' and 12' proposed, 10' required, and the parcel width at the building line - 50' proposed, 75' required.

Mr. Hicks stated that the building at 2519 Palmetto Avenue is 1' over to the north because he did not want to cut dawn 'a tree. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that this is a non-conforming lot. Mr. Hicks will convert this building from a private garage into a place of business and he will have to come hack with a site plan. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that it was originally built for a personal use, but commercial property requires a 10' sideyard setback. The lot width for commercial lots is 75' and 60' for residential.

Many stormwater retention facilities and excavations have occurred in closer proximity to the wellfield than that proposed on the site. To date such existing excavations and retention ponds have not caused problems with the wellfield. Planning Recommendations - Page 1 4. Recommend approval of the conditional use to excavate and construct stormwater management facilities within a secondary wellfield protection zone for property located at 400 East Lake Mary Boulevard based on the preponderance of similar facilities already located closer than the proposed development and the associated absence of groundwater contamination or other problems to the wellfield in question.

The request to decrease the size of parking spaces from 10' to 9' in width is similar to recent requests for various commercial facilities such as Seminole Towne Center, Gateway Plaza and McDonalds restaurant. 4. The request to decrease the number of parking spaces is based on interior use of the proposed building as stated in information provided by the applicant. 43 additional spaces could be accommodated in the future if needed. 5. The request to increase the allowed height of the building is justified based on HVAC systems and roof parapet structures. 6. Recommend approval of all requests based on justification submitted by the applicant, similar approvals (parking space size) and existing character of the immediate area at the present time. BELL SOUTH MOBILITY - Request conditional use permit to erect a communication tower in a GC -2, General Commercial Zone located 3825 Orlando Drive. 1. Site is Zoned GC -2, General Commercial and is vacant at the present time. 2.

At the present time there is one freestanding or detached sign serving the site that identifies major tenants. Individual detached signs serve free standing adjacent uses including restaurants and a bank. 4. Recommend that the request for two directory signs be approved because the purpose for the directory signs does not conflict with and is generally compatible with the City's sign regulations' intent to limit the number of major detached signs located on the premises. HICKS - Request dimensional variances to minimum parcel area, setback, and parcel width at building line requirement for properly Zoned GC -2 located at 2519 Palmetto Avenue. 1.
