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 a request for rezoning
from RMOI to GC -2, that property located at 109 Mangoustine Avenue for the purpose of
mini - warehouses, represented by the owner, Bobby Jackson. The property is 120 ft. wide
with 97 ft. on the east side and 161 ft. on the west side.
Present to speak in opposition was Diane Smith. She is on the deed for the property
located at 1215 W. 2nd Street. She is opposed because of the traffic flow problem it
would cause and also, the drainage that would go into Mills Creek, which is not a storm
drain. She wanted to know where the water would go. Mr. Carli told Mrs. Smith that the
water would stay on the property. After discussion, Mr. Carli moved to approve the re-
zone because it does go along with the comprehensive plan. Mrs. Roberts seconded. Motion
carried.
The next item was a Public Hearing to consider a request for a rezone from MR -1 to RC -1,
that property located at the NE corner of Sir Lawrence Drive and Lake Mary Blvd. for the
purpose of a convenience store, represented by Sam Ackley for the owner, Thomas Tompkins.
Mr. Ackley stated it was approximately 1 acre of land. The lot size is 200 ft. by 250 ft
with the 250 ft. on Sir Lawrence Drive.
Present to speak in opposition were: Bob Raisler, Timothy Prince, Steven Cameron, Blll
Meyer, Leo Rosenberg, and Perry Kennedy. Their concerns were: 1) the attendant traffic
problems a convenience store /commercial building would generate; 2) the potential police
problems that come from a convenience store, particularly drug dealing and vandelism;
3) the devaluation of the residential property value; and 4) the children's safety at
the bus stop on the west side of the intersection. After discussion, Mr. Galloway moved
to deny the request. Mrs. Roberts seconded. Motion carried.
The next item was a Public Hearing to consider a request for a conditional use in a SR -1
zone, that property located at 2412 Chase Ave. for the purpose of a duplex, represented
by Pamela Moss. Mrs. Moss stated that each unit would be approximately 1,400 sq. ft. of
living area. She would live on one side and rent the other side.
Present to speak in opposition were: Muriel Schlegel, Pam Whitehead, Estalean Norris, Kay
Brown, Fay Hall, and Diana Michi. Their concerns were: 1) the rising crime rate from all
the rental duplexes in the area; 2) the drainage problem; and 3) the changing character
of the neighborhood. After discussion Mr. Franklin moved to deny the request. Mr. Miller
seconded. Motion carried.

Dear John.,
Effective with the second meeting of May, l am submitting my resignation
to the Sanford Planning and Zoning Board. This is being done because 1 am
no longer residing within the boundries of the City of Sanford.
I have enjoyed the time I have spent on the Board and 1 would not trade the
personal satisfaction received from serving my City.
When i was appointed to the Board, I set as a rules for myself that 1 would
not be afraid to speak out, treat the "little man" the same as the large
investor, be consistant, and not to just think of today, but tomorrow.
1 hope my record shows I have stuck to my rules.
I will miss you.
Sincerely,
