CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS MEMBERS PRESENT: John Morris Jay Malone Ben Dyal Oletta Yates Tom Speer Eddie Keith John LeRoy Leon Brooks MEMBERS ABSENT: Joe Dennison OTHERS PRESENT: Jay Marder, City Planner Bettie Sonnenberg, Principal Deputy Administrative Official The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by Chairman Malone. The first item on the agenda was the consideration of a request for a REZONE from AG to RI -1, that property located south of Airport Boulevard and west of Mellonville Avenue in an AG zone for the purpose of retail or warehouse or any use permitted in this zoning. Owner/ representative: Walter H. King. Mr. Tom Deppen, 2411 S. Oak Avenue, stated that he is representing Walter King. This property is approximately 3.4 acres, approximately 325' in width and approximately 660' in length. The zoning to the east and the Airport itself is RI- 1. It is not the desire of the owner to erect steel warehouses for storage. It is his desire to enhance the entrance to the Airport by putting, in the future, educational and research institutes or something of this nature in this area. Mr. Morris requested Mr. Deppen to be more specific on the use relative to educational or research institutes. Mr. Deppen stated that they want to do something to enhance the total area. They will not be competitive as far as manufacturing with the Airport. Chairman Malone asked if the client will be developing this property or if the sale depended on the zoning. Mr. Deppen stated that it depended on the zoning. Mr. Anthony Russi, 3355 Mellonville Avenue, stated that he had recently built a home on 2 acres of a 5 acre tract on south Mellonville Avenue. Mr. Russi feels any further encroachment by industry along the Mellonville Avenue corridor would be detrimental to those who have homes in this area. This area is some of the last pretty property available for residency in the City of Sanford. There should be no further industrial development on the west side of Mellonville Avenue from MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of July 7, 1989 Pa&re 2 Airport to Cornwall or on the east side of Mellonville from Onora Road to Silver Lake Road. Mr. Mike Wickham, 3355 Scarlett Avenue, agreed very much with Mr. Russi. The development could help further the congestion in this area. Ms. Doris Brumley, 3371 Whitner Way, stated that she has live in this area for 35 years and would like to keep the area as it is now. Mr. James Smith, 1205 Onora Road, stated that since the owner does not know what the property will be used for, why does he want to rezone it. There is a high vacancy rate in the industrial area, with a lot of room for expansion without taking additional property for industrial. The Chairman stated that all members of the Commission had received several letters in opposition to the requested rezoning. When asked by the Chair to explain the Clup Classification, Mr. Marder stated that the regional commerce area reflects non - residential a mixed land use classification that would be an area that primarily would have economical development activities, i.e. industrial, commercial and other high intensity uses. It is up to the Planning and Zoning Commission to define those uses based on request and on a parcel by parcel review. In this area, the City anticipate uses that would be oriented more towards the regional area, the Orlando Metro Area, as opposed to uses that would be supportive of local types of commercial development. Mr. Speer moved on denial of the requested rezoning. Mr. Dyal and Mr. Keith seconded. Mr. Morris stated that this is an unusual piece of property. There are 1300 acres across the street that are more suited for industrial than this piece of land. Mr. Keith stated that he would not vote in favor of a speculation. All in favor of the motion, Mr. Brooks opposed. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was the consideration of a request for a REZONE from SR -1AA and AG, to that of SR -1 and MR -1 for that property located at 1500 Lake Mary Blvd., lying north and east of Groveview Subdivision and south and west of Hidden Lake Subdivision. Owner/ representative: A. B. Peterson, Jr. Mr. Peterson, 1500 Lake Mary Blvd., stated that he has tentatively sold the property to a developer to build houses and develop lots. The zoning is in keeping with the trends of the area. Some of the adjacent property is already zoned SR -1 and SR -1A. Ms. Mary Tumin, 306 Loch Low Drive, stated that her property is about 30' from the land request change to SR -1. Ms. Tumin entered into the records some attachments. On Attachment 1, there are conditions such as ingress/egress on private road to Lake Mary Blvd, 8 parking spaces, pictures of future buildings and future recreation areas that have been approved by Planning and Zoning. This threefold higher density for this land and the removal of any of the zoning MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of July 6, 1989 Page 3 conditions will lower the value of her property. The rezoning request is not in the best interest of the public and is not compatible with the surrounding community. Mr. Bob Semos, 129 Wildwood Drive, stated that his lot would be looking at the backside of MR-1 and the new SR -1. The back 113 of Mr. Semos lot is for rain run -off and connects to Loch Low Lake. Mr. Semos wanted to know what will happen to Loch Low Lake and stated that he is opposed to any changes right now. Ms. Diane Semos, 129 Wildwood Drive, stated that the road floods when it rains and backs up to her doorstop. She paid extra for lots to back up to the City of Lake Mary. Mr. Jay Sargeant, 403 Springview Drive, requested that the SR -1 zoning be set aside for development of single family residential similar to that of Groveview Village and Staff be directed to carefully consider the existing trees when the subdivision plans are submitted. Mr. Morris stated that with regards to the requested rezoning, why do they want to put a more dense zoning in the middle of the single family zone. What will be developed first, single family or multi - family? Mr. Peterson stated that the 7 acres, of which approximately 4 acres are close to the 100 year flood plain is where his home is and he plans to retain it. If in the future if he decides to sell, the land would be worth more as MR -1 zoning than as SR -1. Mr. Speer made a motion to approve the requested rezoning. Mr. Keith seconded. Mr. LeRoy requested that when this property comes back for site plan approval, agendas be sent to all owners, in attendance tonight. Mr. Malone requested that Staff send agendas to each one in opposition to this requested rezoning. All in favor of the motion. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the request for a CONDITIONAL USE for the purpose of above ground storage tanks containing Class II combustible liquid (outside hazardous storage), that property located at proposed Lot 10, North Star Business Park, Phase II, in a RI -1 zone. Mr. Bill Stoller, 651 Lake Drive, Altamonte Springs, stated that this is a 3 acre tract in Phase 2. As far as the Park itself, Mr. Stoller stated that they are currently finishing up negotiations with DOT with regards to right -of -way and median improvements. Mr. Stoller said that they are awaiting two permits from the St. Johns River Water Management District. The plat containing the road improvements and subdivision improvements, Phase 1, was recorded last week. Mr. Speer asked what was the hazard. Mr. Stoller said that they pick up from service stations and dry cleaners the fluids used to clean parts, etc., and put it into tanks. They take the dirty fluids to Lexington, Ky. where it is recycled MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of July 6, 1989 Page 4 and then brought back as clean fluids to people who utilize their services. Mr. Kevin Schmuggerrow stated they service the small quantity generators. They will bring in 7000 gallons per week. It is a Class II combustible liquid with a 105 regulation flash point. Basically, it is mineral spirits. They have purchased a refinery in Canada and will collect and store recycled waste oil. Mr. Joe Andrews, 250 Old Monroe Road, stated that most of the community is served by wells and wanted to know what would happen if something spilled. Mr. Brooks stated that every precaution will be taken to prevent spills, including the Fire Marshall's regulations. Mr. Schmuggerrow stated that they are regulated by the State DER and will have environmental permits, hazardous waste permits and an operating permit. Safety features include a high level alarm system for the 20, 000 gallon tanks, the site will be secured by a security guard and a 6' fence with 3 strands of barbed wire.
