The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by the Chairman, John Morris.
The first item on the agenda was a Public Hearing to consider the request to rezone from
SR -lAA to SR -1, that property located at 104, 106, 108 and 110 Oregon Ave. for Shoemaker
Construction. Kay Shoemaker, the representative, stated he wished for the rezoning
primarily to build villas. The two bedroom unit will be 1,250 sq. €t. and the 3 bedroom
will be 1,474 sq.ft. Mr. Shoemaker has contacted the adjacent neighbors and has had no
objection to the rezoning request. Mr. Carli was concerned about the placement of the
septic tanks in relationship to the swale at the rear of the lots. Mr. Shoemaker assures
Mr. Carli that all septic tank regulations are met. Mr. Malone moved to recommend approval
and Mrs. Roberts seconded. The planner recommended approval of the request. Motion
carried over the objecting vote of Mr. Carli.
The next item was a Public Hearing to consider the request for rezoning from RMOI to GC -2
property located at 125, 129, 131 and 133 W. Airport Blvd. for a child care /day care and
learning center on a portion of the property and for advance planning for the future four
laning of Airport Blvd. The property owned by Gary Larson, 129 W. Airport Blvd. is being
purchased by the Sanford Christian Church. They wish to place a Christian educational
facility in the existing structure. The other property owners joined with the rezone
request for future planning of Airport Blvd. Mr. Carli asked Mr. Simmons if he had any
knowledge of the setback requirement and construction scheduling for Airport Blvd. Mr.
Simmons stated that he did not know the right -of -way required, but that the County is
requiring 152 ft. for Lake Mary Blvd. which possibly will be six lanes.
Mr. John Waddle, representative for the prospective purchase, said that the church intended
to use 129 W. Airport Blvd. for a day care center, which is not permitted use in the RMOI
zoning, in conjunction with a K through 12 Christian learning center behind on adjacent
property. They intend to start with preschoolers, ages 3, 4 and 5.
There was no public opposition to the request. The plannef had recommended denial of the
request. The motion to recommend approval, made by Mr. Keith and seconded by Dr. Evans,
was defeated by a vote of five to two. The denial was based on a desire to stay consistant
with the commission's previous actions in that area.
The next item was a Public Hearing to consider the conditional use of automotive body,
repair, and paint shop in a GC -2 zone for Prestige Imports located at 2913 Orlando Dr.
Steve Harris, representative, stated that it will be a down -draft booth to be placed in

Coy, pastor of the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, adjacent property owner, had no obj-
ection to the paint spray booth if the Prestige Imports would continue the chain link
fence to the telephone pole between the two properties to stop any encroachment caused
by the increase traffic. The; - - planner recommended approval with adequate buffering be-
tween the site and the adjacent church. Mr. Carli moved to approve the use with the con-
dition to be addressed at site plan approval time. Mrs. Roberts seconded. Motion carr-
ied unanimously.
The next item was a public hearing to consider a conditional use for the sale of beer and
wine for consumption on premises at 201 E. lst St. in a SC -3 zone. Cathy Smart, repre-
sentative and owner of the business, is going to open a retail gourmet shop with an eat -
in and carry -out deli, a wine and cheese cellar and a catering service. The deli area
will seat 20 and serve only beer and wine. There will be no liquor package goods sold or
served.
The wine and cheese cellar will be the highest use. The hours of operation will be from
9:00 to 5 :30, six days a week, closed on Sunday.
Mrs. Eleanor Gross addressed Mrs. Russell's comments about the alley. He is replacing
the water and sewer lines for his building; therefore, the easement area is torn up at
this time. It will be cleaned when finished.
Dr. Evans moved to recommend the approval of the use for consumption of alcohol on prem-
ises in a SC -3 zone for beer and wine. Mr. Carli seconded. Motion carried over the dis-
senting vote of Mr. LeRoy.
The next item was a site plan for 613 Sanford Ave., a three apartment conversion located
in a MR -2 zone. Mr Charles Camerson, owner and representative stated that he wished to
bring the structure up to the existing building code and to license all the units. At
the time of purchase, the units had never been licensed.
The motion to approve, made by Mr. Malone and seconded by Mrs. Roberts, carried unan-
imously.
The next item for consideration was the site plan for the Sanford Branch Library, located
at Palmetto Ave. and East 1st Street. It was tabled...on a motion by Mr. Malone, second by
Mr. CArli, for lack of representation.
The next item for consideration was the site plan for an office /maintenance addition to
Seminole County Concrete, located at 2375 Old Lake Mary Road in a MI -1 zone. Mr. Brumley
the representative, stated that the developer had worked with staff to supply data re-
drainage, circulation, the Country Club Road curbcut. The front office will only have
minimal traffic. The heavy traffic will use the Old Lake Mary Road entrance. Signage
for the site will be on the building. Mr LeRoy obstained from voting. The approval carr-
ied on a motion by Mips: Roberts, second by Mr. Keith.
The next item was a public hearing for a request to rezone property located at 2530 Or-
ange Avenue from RI -1 to MR -1 for the purpose of multiple family dwellings. Mr. Dennison,
owner and applicant, request approvel based on the fact that multiple family is a better
use for the area than an industrial use and that it would then be in compliance with the'
Future Land Use Plan Map. The commission felt that a MR -1 zone would be spot zoning,
but that SR -1 would be compatible with the area and would allow as a conditional use a
duplex. Mr. Dennison said that be probably only want a duplex and would agree with the
SR -1 zoning. Mr. Carli moved to recommend the request to rezone from RI -1 to SR -1 zoning.
Mr. Grieme seconded. Motion carried unanimously. The planner had recommended SR -1
instead of MR -1 for this area based on the existing residential character.
The next item was the request from the City Commission to consider the request to rezone

from SR -1 to MR -1. property located at 1895 W. 18th Street for the purpose of quadraplex.
Mr. Jackson, owner, stated that his wife did not understand that he intended to build
four unit structures, with two apartment upstairs and two downstairs. He would like to
have two buildings on lot 79 and one behind his house of lot 80.
Although there was no opposition to Mr. Jackson's origianl request, the board felt that
the public should have an opportunity to express their opinion regarding quadraplex as
the original advertisement stated the purpose for the rezoning was for duplex. A motion
made by Mr. Carli, seconded by Mr. Malone, directed staff to readvertise the rezoning
request for the purpose of quadraplex and to notify all property owners.
The Chairman felt that it was not prudent at this time to act on the request from the
City Commission for a request for an amendment to the zoning ordinance that would allow
single family residences in a MR-1 zone with the following density controls:
Minimum lot size - 5,000 square feet
Minimum lot width - 50 feet
Minimum front yard setback - 20 feet
Minimum rear yard setback - 20 feet
Minimum side yard setback - 5 feet
Minimum required living area - 900 square feet
Maximum lot coverage - 35%
Maximum structure height - 35 feet.
The Chairman set a workshop meeting for June 5, 1986 at six o'clock before the regular
scheduled meeting.
The site plan for Ed Hunter's Bargain Discount was tabled for lack of presentation on a
motion by Dr. Evans, second by Mr. Carli.
The next item for consideration for the site plan for signage for Country Club Square,
Phase 2, property located at 2439 - 59 Airport Bl. represented by Ron Hensen for owner
Sandefur Properties. The sign will be adjacent to the west entrance and 20 feet from the
future Airport B1. right -of -way and 30 feet from the edge of the driveway. Mr. Carli
moved on approval. Mr. Grieme seconded. The motion carried.
Mrs. Sonnenberg asked the commission for their opinion on the use of a frozen custard
business in a RC -1 zone. She had an inquiry regarding a piece of property at French Av.
and 20th St. Even though this type of business is not considered a restaurant by the
licensing department of the state and the City, the board felt that this use was the
epitome of fast foods and as such would not be allowed in RC -1 zoning.
Mrs. Sonnenberg also had a request for an opinion on a like business in a SC -3 zone on
2nd Street and Park Ave. The board felt that it would be allowed in that zoning.
A request was forwarded to the commission regarding their feelings on a teen center to be
located in the Fairway Plaza. The Building Official had had a request as to the pro-
cedures necessary for opening a teen center at that location. Although the use would be
permitted as an enclosed recreational establishment, he wanted the board to be aware of
the request because teen centers can be potential trouble spots. The board felt that the
applicant should go before the Youth Advisory Committee for their imput and recommendation
and then go before the City Commission for their approval.
Mr. Simmons reported on the progress on the Joint Planning Agreement. He has met with
Ken Hooper of the County and has received a draft of an agreement with five points for
review.

ford Paint & Body Shop of Country Club Road. He also stated that they were running
hoses across the road to wash cars. The Chairman asked staff to contact Fred Bussey
regarding this problem.
Mr. Grieme also said that the stop signs at Seminole Centre have not been replaced and
the driving conditions are still hazardous. Mr. Simmons said that he has not received
an answer to his letter regarding site correction, but the City has a $100,000 letter of
credit that provides the City with some leverage.
Mr. Morris said that he had not been in touch with the City Commission regarding liasion
with the Board of Adjustment and the Code Enforcement board and the Planning and - coning
Commission. It was suggested that the minutes between these boards be circulated. Mr.
Carli moved, second by Mr. Grieme. Motion carried.
Mr. Malone questioned the removal of the sheds, that had had site plan approval,with
replacement of utility trailers. It was stated that there was no change of use. The
Chairman suggested guidelines be established for requirements for the Licensing Department
for new business.
The minutes were approved as circulated on a motion by Mr. Carli, seconded by Mr. Grieme.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Jo n Morris, Chairman
Item No. 5: Consider the site plan for Page school, 118 W. Airport Blvd., a school
located in a MR -1 zone, represented by Andrew Kutz. There was discussion on the
health code. A permit would be required for the pool by the State and Co. There
is a chain link fence up now. There should be signs at the NE side saying "no exit ".
Mr. Carli asked to fill in fence area with foliage, but Mr. Kutz said no because
the intent is to keep it clean and open with no hedges.
After discussion, Mr. Malone moved to approve the site plan. Mr. LeRoy seconded.
Motion carried unanimously.
