Davidson Eddie Keith Lon Howell Dr. Hortense Evans John Morris, Chairman Brent Carli John LeRoy Bettie Sonnenberg, Zoning Inspector Jay Marder, City Planner The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by the Vice - Chairman, Jay Malone in the absence of the Chairman. The first item on the agenda was the continuation of a tabled Public Hearing to consider the request for a rezoning from MR -2 to MI -2, that property located behind 4th Street between Persimmon and Pomegranite for the purpose of light industrial, represented by George Willmer. Dr. Evans moved to remove the Public Hearing from the table. Mrs. Roberts seconded. Mr. Willmer stated he stands on his past statement. Mr. Howell questioned if a fence would be placed behind the homes. Mr. Willmer said he is open for any suggestions and would do what is necessary. Mrs. Sonnenberg informed the board that a site plan is not brought before the board at the rezone, only the development is brought before site plan. A site plan is required at time of development and when submitted would require a buffer between the residential property. Present to speak in opposition was Mike Kyle and Ron Goodman. They were concerned that once it is zoned industrial, anything could be put there. They would like to see it be restricted industrial. They feel it would be more compatible. The area neighbors were concerned about 1.) the hours of operation, 2.) lighting, 3.) noise, 4.) traffic, 5.) drainage, the woods acting as a buffer between the houses and auto train, and 6.) the possibility of being an eyesore to people coming into the City. Presently it is surrounded on 3 sides by residential, but if changed, the residences would be surrounded by industrial on 3 sides. Mr. Howell questioned the buffer along Persimmon. He was told it only had to be landscaped. The City Planner's recommendation was to approve RI -1 instead of MI -2 and amend the future land use map for the northerly lots 25 thru 32. The MI -2 permits heavier industrial, but RI -1 would allow the warehouses the applicant plans. The board asked Mr. Willmer if he would be willing to rezone to RI -1 instead of MI -2, and he said he would. Mrs. Roberts moved to approve the rezone from MR -2 to RI -1. Mr. Howell seconded. Motion carried. Dr. Evans moved to amend the comprehensive plan land use map. Mr. Davidson seconded. Motion carried. The next item was to continue the tabled Public Hearing to consider the request for a rezoning from SR -1 to GC -2, that property located E. of US Highway 17 -92 and S. of Woodson Avenue for the purpose of office and retail sales, represented by Edward Dedelow.

Mr. Dedelow stated the property is located S. of Lake Mary Blvd. and runs along Woodson Avenue. Mr. Howell asked if Woodson would be paved and was told it would be. At the previous meeting, a neighbor was concerned about a buffer wall and paving of Woodson Ave. There would be a wall and the road would be paved. There was no one present to speak in opposition. Mr. Davidson questioned if it was rezoned to RMOI, would it be spot zoning? The City Planner does not consider RMOI to be incom- patible.

Mr. Howell asked Mrs. HendrickE if she was planning to do anything to the exterior and she said only a new door. She would be serving breakfast and lunch, 6 days a week. There was no one present to speak in opposition. Mr. Howell moved to approve the request. Mrs. Roberts seconded. Motion carried over the dissenting vote of Mr. Keith.

The size of the building will be approximately 60 x 40. The City Planner's recommendation stated that based on limited size of site and existing character of area at the present time, he recommended approval with the condition that the building coverage be limited to 5,000 sq ft. and the building height be limited to 25 ft.

The houses will have a minimum of 900 sq ft. living area with some near 1,000 sq ft. and the houses would be in the $50,000 range. The existing houses in the area would resale for $45,000 to $50,000. There are 52 lots with most houses to have 3 bedrooms with air conditioning and heating. The retention will be on the railroad right -of -way. The drainage is being reviewed by Staff.

Mrs. Sonnenberg read a letter from the City Attorney in reference to "spot zoning ". The board members requested a copy of the memo.
