MEMBERS PRESENT John Morris Jay Malone Eddie Keith Joe Dennison Tan Speer Gary Davidson Brent Carli Leon Brooks John LeRoy Jay Marder, City Planner Bettie Sonnenberg, Zoning and Arbor Inspector Bill Simmons, Director of Engineering and Planning The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by Chairman Carli. The first item on the agenda was a Public Hearing to consider a request to rezone from AD to that of MR-1L for the purpose of a multi - family residence, that property located as 4120 Paola Road. Owners /representative: Mr. & Mrs. H.F. White Mr. Bruce White, 555 Longwood Markham Road, stated that they appeared before the Board sane months ago and requested an opinion before annexation. Mr. White said that he will be the developer and what they propose to do is to divide this property into lots that would be suitable for two - family dwellings and would be less than the density allowed by the City code. There was no one else present to speak in favor of or in opposition to the proposed rezoning. Mr. Morris made motion to approve and to amend the land use plan on the small scale category. Mr. Davidson seconded. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was a Public Hearing to consider a Conditional Use in a GC -2 zone for the purpose of gasoline sales, that property located as the southwest corner of 17 -92 and Bush Boulevard. Owner: Bush Boulevard Partnership; representative: Robert P. Hold Mr. Ahmed, 1230 Hilcrest St., Orlando, stated that they would like to have a retail - outlet convenience store and would like to sell gas. Mr. Ahmed was not quite sure what type of gas would be sold. Mr. Ahmed stated that this would probably be a Jiffy Food store. There is one building on site now that will be moved by the owners of Shenandoah Village. The lot is just underneath .98 acres in size. There was no one else present to speak in favor of or against the proposed conditional use. Mr. Keith made motion to approve. Mr. Morris seconded. Mr. Malone asked if what we are doing was what we have tried not to do in speculative zoning. Mr. Morris MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of August 18, 1988 Page 2 stated that this is a conditional use and would have to cane before us for a site plan review. That would provide another opportunity to change the standard operating proce- dure for a convenience store fran a 2400 square foot building into something we may be proud of. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was a Public Hearing to consider a Conditional Use in a SR -lA zone for the purpose of an adult congregate living facility, that property located as 2402 Key Avenue. Owner /representative: Vida Durley Mrs. Durley, 2402 Key Avenue, stated that she would like the rezoning to have a congre- gate living facility. She would like to have 4 people in the facility. She has 3 people there now, 2 have been there for five years. Mr. Morris asked if she is being grand - fathered in under the new ordinance. Mrs. Durley stated "yes" and that she was not licensed. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that she is about 1200 -feet away from another congregate living facility. Mrs. Sonnenberg said that she has requested an opinion from the City Attorney as to the status of Mrs. Durley and the other ones who were known by the City but were not licensed during the formulation of the residential facility ordinance but she has not received it yet. Mrs. Durley stated that her home will be for the elderly and that there are 4 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. She has lived at this location for 15 years. The neighbors have not objected to her having the residents there. The residents remain inside the house but they are ambulatory. Mrs. Durley stated that she needs the 4th person to help with the expense. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that there has not been an inspection prior to the use being established. Mrs. Durley stated that she has 2200 square feet in her house, off - street parking, circular drive and a big back yard with a pool 5' off the property line. Mr. Morris stated that based on the fact that Mrs. Durley has had people there for the past 5 years and obviously is striving to comply with our ordinance, moved on approval of the conditional use. Mr. Keith seconded. Mr. Malone stated that a great number of people agonized over this, committees were formed and public hearings were held; and it was the opinion of all those people to keep facilities 1500' apart. For us to do away with all that work by waiving the requirements would be presumptions. Mr. Morris stated that he agrees with Mr. Malone but in this particular instance we have a situation where an operation has been in existance a period of years, many years prior to the time that those committees were formed to address the questions; obviously Mrs. Durley was not aware that there was a foster hone 1200' away from her. As an aside, Mr. Morris, requested that on future instances, locations be put on maps where other hares exist in relationship to the property before the Board. As long as Mrs. Durley can meet the remaining aspects of the Code, Mr. Morris does not feel that this Board would be setting a precedent in any way by allowing her to continue to operate as she has operated; only now she would operate under the auspices of our codes. MINUTES Planning and zoning Commission Fleeting of August 18, 1988 Page 3 Chairman Carli stated that he doesn't think they have to allow the 4. If she had two or three, thats fine, but we didn't think they could broaden the scope by allowing 4 or 5 or more. Mr. Malone stated that he felt there wasn't anyone on the Board that wanted to forbid her from doing what she has been doing and it should be grandfathered in. But she wants to do something different. 4 in favor of the motion. Mr. Speer, Mr. Malone and Mr. Carli in opposition. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was a Public Hearing to consider a conditional use in a GC -2 zone for the purpose of the sale of beer and wine on premises, that property located as 2465 -2475 Airport Blvd. Owner: Equity Realty Management Corporation Representative: Ray Wofford Mr. Roy Wofford, 1114 Golden Cypress Court, Altamonte, stated that a client would like to put in a family recreation center consisting of pool tables, video games, with the sale of beer and wine and finger foods. The premises would be divided in half by means of a bar type kitchen area. One side consisting of a pool table, recreational area for adults and the other side consisting of pool tables and video games for minors. There would be two managers on premises at all times to maintain the separa- tion. There would be an archway with a bouncer to keep the young adults from venturing into the adult section. Mr. Wofford stated that the type food has not been established but thought it would sandwiches, quick food, and pizza. This will be a family recreational center. Mr. Malone cited the Police Chief's concerns regarding loitering. Mr. Brooks also expressed his concern over this issue. There was no one else present to speak in favor of or in opposition to the proposed conditional use. Mr. Malone moved to deny. Mr. Keith seconded. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the site plan for the Bank of Central Florida, a finance function located at 2544 Park Drive in a GC -2 zone. Tabled August 4, 1988.

Mr. Simmons stated that staff didn't have any problems with the site plan other than insuring that the radius is good as indicated by Bob Kelly. The City Commission will be considering on Monday night the issue of vacating the alleyway. Mr. Simmons stated that He had been the City has no objection to vacating other than a manhole lying in a portion of the alleyway where the two sections in the alley meet such that a north /south easement needs to be retained to cover the sewer line. MINUTES Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting of August 18, 1988 Page 4 Mr. Hancock stated that they are maintaining a 20' radius on the entranceway to the drive -thru lanes. The dumpster service will be after hours. Mr. Simmons stated that the depth of the parking spaces does not encroach upon the driving lanes. Mr. Hancock said that they are requesting 3 drive -thrus with no by- pass. There are four entrys caning off of Park Avenue. If someone comes in off of Park and they want to get out they have to go through the drive -in. Mr. Hancock stated that there will be five employees. The only drive thru that will be activated is the one with the window. Mr. Malone stated that this can be a workable plan without employee parking. The problem that was foreseen by Mr. Malone was that as the parking problem becomes severe because of the customers, compounded by additional employees necessary to take care of the customers. There might be somewhere in that vicinity that employee parking could be obtained. Then this number of parking spaces devoted only to the customers would be considerably more functional. Mr. Simmons stated that in the off - street parking requirements, a bank does not directly show up. Most types of businesses have the off - street parking requirements specified for employees, one parking space for every two employees. Chairman Carli stated that the characteristics of the sign proposed was not in keeping. Mr. Hancock stated that the sign is to be 4'x10' with the height being approximately 16'.

The Commission approved the paving in phases. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that the City Code has been amended as far as the size and the number of seats requirements for alcoholic beverages for Special 3 Licenses for beer and wine with consumption on premises. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that they tabled the rezoning for BML on Hidden Lake, the por- tion that is just south of the Arbors until they can cane to an understanding with the residents of the Arbors and with the developer. Mr. Keith asked Mr. Simmons if anything had been done concerning the water downtown. Mr. Simmons stated that it would be on the agenda for the City Commission this coming Monday night. It is a longstanding problem. A solution has been identified and is tied to the completion of at least several segments of the vacuum sewer system which will separate the sanitary sewers and the storm sewers. The City is continually researching the problem. Mr. Malone asked Mr. Simmons to go by 500 Oak Avenue to look at the roof. It is falling down.
