The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by the Chairman, John Morris. The first item on the agenda was to consider the site plan for a revision to the parking lot for the First V.ion. Bank building renovation located at 101 E. lst St. in a SC -3 zone, represented by David Runnels. Mr. Runnels stated there are 20 parking spaces at the present and after the renovation there will be 24 spaces. The bank has a lease for 20 years with an additional 20 years. An agreement has been made between the owner and the Historic Board to donate a con- servation easement to the City prohibiting future placement of any improvements above the building as it exists now. The Scenic Improvement Board and the Historic Board have recommended the site plan. The canopies over the doors have been accepted by the Historic Board. The pump house would be better if left where it is because the sprinkler lines and utilities are located there and it defines the street edge. Staff recommends approval subject to the one way signage. Mr.. Howell moved to approve the site plan subjectto the one way signage. Mrs. Roberts seconded. Motion carried. The next item was to consider the revised site plan for additional parking and paving for Metal Manufacturing Co. located at 501 Codisco way in a RI -1 zone, represented by Bob McKee. There were 148 parking spaces on the approved site plan and they added 44 more and now they are proposing to add 82 more. The connection with Upsala Road is not know at this time.

The next item was to consider the site plan for Lake Monroe Apartments, a 256 unit apt. development located at 2335 W. Seminole Blvd. in a MR -1 zone, represented by Robert Blenden. Mr. Carli asked if they were going to strip the land. Mr. Blenden said they had no intentions of striping the property. They will stake and mark all trees to be saved. There will be 135 new trees.

Page 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ They have donated a 30 ft. right -of -way for Terwilliger Lane. A letter is going before the City Commission on the open space. They have verbal approval from St. John Water Management, the permit is in for DOT and water and sewer permit is submitted after site plan approval. There should be enough water pressure. A fire flow has been tested and given to the Utility Dept. They have provided a connection to the pond for extra fire flow. Mr.. LeRoy questioned what type of fence they are putting up. Mr. Blended stated they were planning to go with the regular cedar slat fence, but would be willing to go with what the board would like. Mr. Carli asked if he was familiar with blind mosquitoes. He said no and they appreciated the board for letting them know about them. The board asked if they would substitute the fence with a block wall. Mr. Blenden said he had no objections with that or another alternative. The board questioned if Terwilliger Lane would be improved. Mr. Simmons said not at this time because it will not be opening onto Terwilliger. Mr. Carli said just because it doesn't open does not mean there won't be an impact on Terwilliger with 256 units times 2 or 3. Mr. Simmons said he would agree if Terwilliger was to be developed with this project. Mrs. Roberts moved to approve the site plan. Mr. Davidson seconded. Motion carried over the dissenting vote of Mr. Howell. Mr. LeRoy stated he was not in favor of seeing 3 story buildings along 17 -92. Mr. Blenden stated he feels Sanford will change and this project would be accepted. They tried everything to make it attractive and there is advantage to having a view of the lake and there is more setback than required. The next item was to consider the site plan for a storage building addition to the Country Place located at 2516 Sanford Avenue in a GC -2 zone. Mrs. Sonnenberg informed the board that the item was withdrawn. During discussion regarding the adult congregate living facility, some points brought up were: 1) if an adult congregate living facility was allowed, would a foster home or drug rehabilitation center be able to go in, 2) not letting the elderly live any where they want to, 3) how much of the city is zoned for elderly homes, and 4) objected to the exploitation of the elderly. Mr. Malone moved to recommend staff give the board information showing the approximate percentage of the City already zoned for Adult Congregate Living and the approximate percentage of population eligible; so, the board can determine if they are adequately provided for. Then they can decide if the board needs to recommend to the City Comm. to enlarge or to go with what the City has. Mr. Carli asked staff about the landscaping for the Handy Way Store. Mrs. Sonnenberg informed him she had mailed a letter and is going to have to call and find out why they have not done anything on the landscaping. He also asked if E1 Capitan has been looked at. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated it has been turned over to the Code Enforcement Insp. The board asked staff if they could check and see if they could get the Railroad Co. to repair the crossings on 25th St. near Rinker, 2 on Airport Blvd and on French Avenue. Mr. Simmons said he would check with the County Engineer. Mr. Malone stated there was reluctance on approving the apartments on 17 -92, but it was good that the board did approve it because it is a permitted use. The board members agreed with him. There is need for additional planning along the Lakefront. Need to readdress the Future Land Use Map and put higher standards in some areas. Mr.. Malone also said he felt the board should have a workshop meeting before each meeting. MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION - November 20, 1986 - 7:00 P.M. Page 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - -- The board questioned staff in reference to M.P.O. Meats coming back with a revised site plan. Mrs. Sonnenberg stated they have withdrawn the request. The baord felt they are not in compliance and should put a restriction on it. They are operating without an approved site plan. The board felt M.P.O. Meats should not anticipate on getting a Certificate of Occupancy until the revised site plan is approved. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. �yv �_ _ �• Morris, Chairman
