RC -1 zone to GC -2 zone, that property located at 401 E. 25th Street for the purpose to
have marine sales and service, represented by Dorothy Meadors.
Mrs. Meadors stated that she is leasing the property from Seminole County and she needed
the GC -2 zone to have marine sales. She said that there is approximately 1.6 acres and
the correct address should be 501 E. 25th Street.
There was no one present to speak in opposition. After discussion, Mrs. Roberts moved to
approve the rezone located at 501 E. 25th Street, being described as Lot 30 (less N. 20 ft.
for Rd.) and all Lots 31 & 32, Blk 1 and Lot 1 (less N. 20 ft. for Rd.) and all Lots 2

James Connors.
Mr. Connors stated that there will be 3 drive thru lanes and 1 relief lane and it would
be a full service bank. The entrance and exit would be through the shopping center entrance.
The board was concerned about the signalization.
After extensive discussion regarding traffic flow, Mr. Malone moved to decline the current
site plan and requested them to bring it back and to request a variance in number of parking
spaces available, show clearer traffic flow, line up street and have employee parking in
the shopping center parking lot. Mr. Carli seconded. Motion carried unanimously.

in a GC -2 zone, represented by Adnrew Kutz.
Mr. Kutz stated that the owner, Mr. McCauley, will be repairing boat motors. The original
driveway will be closed and landscaped. Mr. Kutz asked the board to allow Mr. McCauley to
wait a period of time before having to pave the parking in the rear and just let be mulched
for now. The board stated they had no problem with that. The board was concerned about
bringjing the boats in without having a proper turning radius and the storage of boats and
motor storage facility. Mr. McCauley stated that there would be outboard motor repairs
and he schedules appointments for.the repairs. Mr. Kutz stated that Mr. McCauley would
like to have the workhop at his residence so he could do some repairs there at night instead
of going back to his business. The building is 600 sq. ft.

moved to approve the site plan with the stipulation of changing the rear paved parking
to allow it to be mulched for 6 months and have it paved after that period of time and
have concrete under the dumpster. Mr. Grieme seconded. Motion carried over the dissenting
votes of Mr. Carli and Mrs. Roberts.
The next item was to consider a site plan for a neighborhood lawn mower repair shop, located
at 305 Palmetto Avenue in a SC -3 zone, represented by Al Seymore, the owner.
Mr. Seymore stated that his hours of operation would possibly be 8 to 5 on weekdays and 9 to
12 on Saturdays. The structure would be cement block with wood frame, which is compatible
to that area. He stated that all repairs would be done inside the building and he would
keep it a nice clean area.
Mr. Cameron was present to speak in reference to the site plan. He asked the board to look
at the area and give the site plan some consideration. He stated that S. of 4th Street is
presently zoned residential and N. of 3rd Street is the historical district. Mr. Cameron
feels it would turn into a junkyard. He was also questioning the parking.
Mrs. Sonnenberg stated that the parking requirement was based on the number of employees
and not on the square footage of the building because it is not retail sales.
After discussion, Mr. Davidson moved to approve the site plan. Mrs. Roberts seconded.
Motion carried over the dissenting vote of Mr. Carli.
The next item was to consider a site plan for Polar Cup, a frozen lemonade drink shop,
located at 2521 French Avenue in a GC -2 zone, represented by Ryan Gibbs.

9 to 9 during the summer and 9 to 7 during the winter, 7 days a week. There will be
approximately 4 to 6 employees in the winter and 10 to 12 in the summer. They are looking

drainage from Seminole County. Mr. Davidson seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
The next item was an addendum on the discussion on the maintenance of the overall density
of MR -1 on Phase 1, 2 and 3, Northlake Village for U.S. Homes, represented by John SIpes.
Mr. Sipes stated that Northlake Village went for lesser density in phases 1 & 2 and would
like to have the additional density from phases 1 & 2 given to phase 3. After discussion,
the board agreed not to allow it. They want to keep it 15 units per acre as initially done.
Mr. Simmons informed the board that the new City Planner will be starting January 13th.

into the City.

review since the drainage and parking is not done according to the site plan. Mr. Simmons
said he would consult with the City Attorney to see how we can require a resubmittal.
Mr. Grieme brought to the staff's attention that Sanford Paint and Body Shop on Country
Club Road is using the right -of -way as a parking area for cars to sell them.
