Cynthia Holt - Miller OTHERS PRE SENT: Jay Marder, Director of Planning and Development Bettie Sonnenberg, Land development Coordinator Russ Gibson, Planning Technician Marion Anderson, Recording Secretary The Chairman called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M. The first item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request for a conditional Use for property located at 212 W. 1st Street in a SC -3, Special Commercial Zoning District, for the purpose of manufacturing custom made furniture. Owner Mike Moreno; representative: Debra Torres. Due to lack of representation, Mr. Speer moved to table. Seconded by Mrs. Welch. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the Agenda was to hold a Public Hearing to consider a request for a Waiver of a One Year Waiting Period for property located at 2501 S. Sanford Avenue in a GC -2, General Commercial Zoning District, on a decision made December 17, 1992. Owners: Angelo, Vincent and Dominic Reali; representative: Dominic Reali. Dominic Reali, 168 Lake Breeze Circle, Lake Mary, was present for representation. He stated that he is a co -owner of this property and that they were forced to foreclose on the previous owners who had applied for a conditional use for an auto dealer sales use. Due to nature of the service station business, it would require a substantial amount of money to bring the property up to code. He stated that they would like to get approval to put in a car lot. Mr. Reali stated that opening a car lot would not cost as much as bringing the service station, which is closed, up to code. He stated that the previous owners ran the property down. The fuel tanks need to come out of the ground and that would cost approximately $125,000. Mr. Speer asked what request was made in December. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that the request was for auto sales. Mr. Speer noted that they were using the part of the property that had had the laundry on it for the restoration of cars and that they wanted to use the bays and the property out front to display cars. Mr. Brooks stated that at the time of the previous request, it was the Commission's intention to discourage car lots on that part of 25th Street. Mr. Reali stated that the laundry property will not be a part of the property to be requested. Mrs. Sonnenberg noted that the Commission was not considering the use of the property, but only approval to reapply for a conditional use. Mr. Davis stated that the applicant could come back for some other use than car sales and that the applicant should consider other uses for the property, then come back with something that would be acceptable to the Board. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF JULY 1 1993 PAGE 2 Mr. Marder stated that the applicants would like to do something that requires a conditional use, the same use that was decided on not long ago. Mr. Brooks stated that if the same conditions exist today that existed back then, then the Commission would still be thinking along the same lines. Mr. Speer stated that the property immediately to the east has a chain link fence around it and it is being used as boat display for sales. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that this was done over a year ago. The School Board put up the fence around the property and the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the use for overflow storage. Vincent Reali, 139Q Bristol Park Place, stated that the previous owners had applied for the laundro -mat area and that the property did not have enough area for parking and display areas. He stated that the previous owners never applied for the service station area He stated that this request is not for the use of the laundro -mat property, but only for the service station property. Mr. Brooks stated that as he could recall, the piece of property applied for before sits on 25th Street. During discussion, the Commission tried to discourage this particular use on 25th Street. Mrs. Sonnenberg noted that Mr. Singh, the previous owner, had stated that the gas pumps were roped off and cars would be displayed on the 25th Street side. Mr. harder explained that there are a full array of retail sales and services that could be opened for business at this location. The use that comes under the conditional use requirements regarding auto repair and sales and outdoor display of used merchandise is what is being requested. Mr. Dennison stated that since this type use had been turned down before, this Board did not want them to think that the Board is implying if this request was approved, the auto sales use would be approved. If reapplied for, it could also be denied. Mr. Speer asked what could happen in six months that could change the characteristics of this corner. Mr. Marder stated that the application for a one year waiver is a part of the LDR. The LDR tries to discourage people from coming back over and over for the same thing. Vincent Reali stated that they do not have the money to make this back into a gas station. Mr. Speer stated that in December the gas tanks were closed down and there was no operation of the gas station at this time. The Realis stated when they sold it to the previous owners, it was without the knowledge that the gas tanks would have to be replaced; it was operational. Mr. Davis moved to deny the request. based on the fact that there is no change to the site and surrounding area and based on staff's recommendations. Seconded by Mr. Brooks. Mr. LeRoy, Mr. Speer, Mr. Davis and Mr. Brooks. opposed to the motion were Mrs. Stairs, Mr. Dyal, Mrs. Welch and Mr.- Dennison. (Failure of the motion to pass.) Mr. Speer moved to approve. Mr. Dyal seconded. In favor of the motion were Mr. Speer, Mr. Dyal, Mrs. Stairs, Mrs. welch, and Mr. Dennison. In opposition were Mr. Davis, Mr. Brooks, Mr. LeRoy. Motion carried. On the Addendum to the Agenda was the consideration of the application for the installation of a ground sign for property located at 70 Keyes court in an RI -1, Restricted Industrial Zoning District. owner: Kemco Industries; representative: Michael Chase. MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING OF JULY 1, 1993 PAGE 3 Michael Chase 709 Laurel Way, Casselberry, stated that this would be a 10 sign for the new Kemco building at Sanford Avenue and 427. Mr. LeRoy asked if there would be any moving parts or flags on the sign. Mr. Chase stated that this would basically be an identification sign in front of the building. Mr. LeRoy asked staff it the sign met the sign requirements. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated 'yes ", and that Mr. Chase is aware of the landscaping requirements. Mr. Dyal moved for approval with 50 square feet of landscaping. Seconded by Mr. LeRoy. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the Agenda was the discussion of the Draft Revisions to the Land Development Regulations. Mr. Marder stated that the City Commission, in reviewing the borrow pit situations, decided that there needed to be some changes in the mining area of the Land Development Regulations. The City Commission decided to put a moratorium on such activities because it did not see that it would be possible address unless the City went through the amendment process. Staff drafted regulations that would require that a mining use to be considered only under the rezoning classification. The conditional use part that solely places it into the Planning & zoning Commission hands was deleted. It was under planned development zoning. Mr. Marder stated that regulations, revised from the County's regulations providing for significant buffer requirements and various additional setbacks and studies and plans and safeguards for egress and ingress onto the property, were also added. The wellfield protection changes included in the package were based on the SJRWMD study of the city's wellfields. Information was compiled on the use of a wellfield by using the SJRWMD complex computer modeling studies to come up with the areas around the wellfield that need protection. In our LDR now, the regulations around the wellfields are arbitrary circles varying from 200' up to 600 As included in the proposed amendment, the radius may now extend as far as 3000' for the highest used wellfield, the Oregon Avenue Wellfield. 3000' represents over 1/2 mile. There are certain things a property owner cannot do within the areas. Such uses as auto sales and services, pesticide storage facilities and hazardous storage are excluded since such uses could contaminate the wellfield. Mrs. Stairs asked if this is comparable to other cities. Mr. Marder stated that the governments are being assisted throughout the state in coordinating a uniform approach. Mr. Davis questioned depths. Mr. harder stated that depths would be controlled by the Water Management District rather than the City. Depths would be permitted through Department of Environmental Regulation. Depths would be different in some locations. Mr. Davis stated that something needs to be put into the LDR concerning depths. Mr. Speer asked where in the city limits could a borrow pit be placed that would be economically feasible. Mr. harder stated that there are not a lot of areas but there are areas that do exist within the outlying areas of the City. The land value in some locations on SR. 46 will preclude interest in borrow pits. Mr. Dennison stated that depths should be considered. Mr. Marder stated that it can be researched and that he would report back with his findings. Mr. Dyal moved to approve the minutes as circulated. Seconded by Mr. Leroy. All in favor. Motion carried. Mr. Speer asked what is being done by code enforcement or staff regarding the Ritz building. He stated that the sidewalks are littered with the building falling down. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that she reported the conditions to code enforcement and the building department today. There being no further business, the meing journed at 8:00 P.M. De raison, Chairmen From the Director of Planning and Development June 25, 1993 TO: City of Sanford Planning and Zoning Commission SUBJECT: Recommendations for Meeting of July 1, 1993 DEBRA TORRES - Request for approval of a conditional use for manufacturing custom made furniture in an existing SC -3, Special Commercial Zone located at 212 W. First Street. 1. Site is Zoned SC -3, Special Commercial and includes a warehouse type building that was once used as a train depot. 2. Uses adjacent to the site include banks and offices. Several warehouse buildings are located west of site adjacent to Elm Avenue. 3. Recommend approval of the conditional use request to permit manufacturing custom made furniture based on the existing characteristics of the building already located on the site and similar activities in close proximity to site. Also recommend that a stipulation be placed on the approval to prohibit outdoor storage and display of materials and /or merchandise. THE AUTO CLUB - ANGELO REALI - Request to waive a one year waiting period to request automobile repair and sales in a GC -2, General Commercial Zone located at 2501 S. Sanford Avenue. 1. Site is Zoned GC -2, General Commercial and includes a service station /garage building. 2. On December 17, 1992 the Planning and Zoning Commission considered a request by Laknan P. Singh to establish automobile dealer sales (retail and wholesale) for a nonconforming structure located in a GC -2, General Commercial Zone located at the southeast corner of State Road 46/25th Street and Sanford Avenue /CR 425. The site considered at that time included the a portion of the site presently under consideration. The following information was noted: A. There are no automobile dealer sales establishments along 25th Street in the immediate area of the site at the present time. Various automobile dealer sales establishments are located on Sanford Avenue, generally south of 26th Street. The location of the existing building does not conform to existing front yard building setbacks and does not provide sufficient land area to permit proper display of vehicles. B. The Planning and Zoning Commission denied the request citing staff's recommendation that the City should continue to prevent automobile dealer sales from being established on this segment of 25th Street. C. Staff's recommendation to deny also cited the deficient configuration of the building which would not provide sufficient area to display vehicles. The building being referred to is located on parcels adjacent to the south boundary of the site presently under consideration. 3. The City Commission considered and denied an Administrative Appeal of the Singh request noted above on February 22, 1993. The City Commission cited the Planning and Zoning Commission's findings in its decision. 4. Recommend that the request to waive the one year waiting period be denied based on the fact that there does not appear to be any significant change of circumstances regarding the site, surrounding area and /or City standards and policies since the request was considered by both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Commission.
