The first item on the Agenda was the Review of the City of Sanford
Grant Application to Department of Natural Resources to renovate
the Athletic Field Lighting System at Pinehurst Park.
Representative: Jim Jernigan, Director of Parks.
Mr. Jim Jernigan stated that the Department of Natural Resources
offers grants through out the State for acquisition, development or
renovation of park land. The City is asking for a grant to
renovate the lighting system at Pinehurst Park located at W. 24th
St. and Marshall Avenue. The old lighting system was installed in
1954 and is in bad need of repair.
Mr. Jernigan stated that the City is asking for a non - matching,
$50,000 grant. One requirement of this grant is to bring the
request before the Planning & Zoning Commission for review because
the City does not have a recreation board as a vehicle for
approval. A public hearing with the City Commission will be held
in two weeks.
Mr. Jernigan stated that the City is also required to get approval
from the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council and was
approved today by telephone. Also, the City is required to get
approval from the State Historical Society in Tallahassee.
Mr. Jernigan stated that the lighting system will be state of the
art as far as the neighborhood is concerned. It will focus on the
ballfield and not disturb the neighborhood with lights. This
system will be a no spill type lighting system. It will be a less
costly operation with more lighting.

Mr. Holsenback stated that he had had a meeting with the City
Manager and City Engineer and it was determined that the primary
problems were that Coastline Road would be extended west to the new
shopping mall. It will then become a major thoroughfare.
Mr. Holsenback stated that there is an identical truck situation
next door to this site. The tenant anticipates having one truck a
month coming in, which would take a minute to back in off of
Coastline Road. The owner is willing to sign an agreement stating
that when the road is extended westerly he will shut down his truck
operation. Mr. Holsenback stated that they are willing to prepare
a document that Storage Craft will close down the truck operation
when the road is extended either way. This will be a 6,000 square
feet facility.
Mr. Brooks asked if this agreement will include the one truck a
month statement. Mr. Holsenback stated that it could be made a
part of it.
Mr. Marder stated that this is a through road right now. It is a
major road in this development. The lots in this development were
developed at a particular size. This site for Storage Craft is
developed on half a lot, this creates some of the circulation
problems.
Mr. Don Bauerly, owner of the park, 1822 Meadowbend Dr., Longwood,
stated that this development was constructed in 1984. The
situation that exists with this lot has an identical situation next
door. It creates no problem at all. Miracle Industries has an
identical situation and pose no problem. One truck a month would
not create any circulation problems for the park.
Mr. Brooks asked what would happen when Coastline Road does become
a thoroughfare.
Mr. Bauerly stated that these roads were put in to serve the park;
and also added that the roads were dedicated to the City for
maintenance.
Mr. Marder stated that the road going into the Northstar Business
Park was planned as a connector road. Coastline Road is a good
opportunity to cross to the west over to Rinehart Road extension.
He believes that there will be an east /west street between Upsala
Road and Rinehart Road and also between Rinehart Road and
realigned Oregon Avenue. Mr. Marder thinks that it is going to be
an east /west circulation path that will carry considerable traffic
in the future.
Mr. Speer asked why would a document be needed and asked why
couldn't the motion stipulate that when the road is extended either
way that this operation be void.
Mr. Speer moved to approve the site plan with the stipulation that
in the event Coastline Road in Sanford Central Park is extended

west of Upsala Road or extended east of its present platted
location that the site plan will be automatically amended to
prohibit the backing of trucks onto the location as shown on the
site plan into the deep truck well. Mr. Leroy seconded. Five in
favor . Mrs. Stairs and Mr. Dyal opposed. Motion carried.
The next item on the Agenda was the consideration of the Site Plan
for a Sign for Smith Associates, Inc. at 912 -918 French Avenue in
a GC -2, General Commercial Zoning District.
Owner /representative: Smith Associates, Inc.
Due to the fact that this site plan was considered and completed on
June 20, 1991, no action was necessary.
The next item on the Agenda was the consideration of the request
for a six month extension of the Site Plan and Final Engineering
Plan for Carriage Cove North Project. Approved 1/17/91.
Owner: Lennar Homes; representative: Jon Hall.
Mr. Tom Daly of Bowyer - Singleton stated that they are asking for an
extension due to marketing situations. They have high expectations
to start within the next six months.
Mrs. Stairs moved on approval for a six month extension. Seconded
by Mr. Brooks and Mr. Dyal. All in favor. Motion carried.
On the Addendum to the Agenda was the consideration of the site
plan for Temporary Living Center, Inc., a medical health out-
patient function (drug counseling center) and daycare use, located
at 519 Palmetto Avenue in a GC -2, General Commercial District.
Owner: Seminole County School Board; representative: Charlene D.
Kelley.
Charlene D. Kelley, stated that this facility will be used as a
drug counseling center and for a day care use. Ms. Charlene Kelly,
36 North Park Avenue, Apopka, stated that she was here on behalf of
Temporary Living Center. They have leased the Little Red School
House from the School Board and would like to provide a center for
treatment and education on drug abuse. Their clients are mostly
women, poor, and with children. These are court ordered clients
needing to get help.
Ms. Kelley stated that the zoning code requires a certain number of
parking spaces. There is not sufficient land around the site to
comply with the parking requirements. They do have 7 parking
spaces in back with limited access to the 7 spaces. This area
could be mulched and used for parking if necessary. There are 9
spaces in front of the building. Their plans are to have 6 staff
members on site daily. The women who come are poor. Many have
lost their drivers license and do not have transportation of their
own. Ms. Kelley stated that they are presently operating in
Sanford at 13th Street and Park Avenue. Their lease is up and they
need to be out of this facility by August 1st. Ms. Kelley stated

that what she is asking for today is a two year delay in paving the
7 parking spaces in back.
Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that prior to coming in for site plan
approval, they got City Commission approval for right -of -way
parking use on Palmetto Avenuee.
Ms. Kelley stated that they will putting in $70,000 worth of
renovations and have signed a 5 year lease.
Mr. LeRoy moved to approve that we grant the extension of not
paving the 7 parking spaces in the back for 2 years and approve the
site plan as is. Seconded by Mr. Brooks and Mrs. Stairs. All in
favor. Motion carried.
Mr. Marder stated that he has received a package from the
Department of Community Affairs which included 33 pages of
objections, recommendations and comments on the Comprehensive Plan.
Also, that he has received a package containing 44 pages from the
Department of Environmental Regulation. The Division of Historic
Resources loved our historic considerations. Mr. Marder stated
that what is needed is that we need to work on a transportation
methodology. We have officially 60 days to complete all changes;
but there are customary extensions that could be made.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:00 P.M.
