The meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M. by the Chairman, J. Q. Galloway.
The first item for discussion was a site plan and change of use from a real
estate office to a bus stop for Trailways, to be located at 1002 French Ave.
in the GC -2 zoned district, represented by John S. Root.
A memo from the City Manager to the Planning & Zoning Commission was discussed
and Mr. Root said he moved into the building with the intention of drawing
up a site plan and hoped to be able to use the facility. After discussion of
the present traffic hazard and lack of parking facilities, Mr. Morris moved
to deny the request. Mr. Franklin seconded. Motion carried.
The next item was a Public Hearing to consider rezoning from RC -1 to GC -2,
the property located south of 25th St. on the east and west sides of Grandview
Ave. represented by Ken Ireland, Jr. and John Dwyer, Land Development Coordinator
for Seminole County.
Mr. Ireland said he wants to lease the county -owned former Vehicle Inspection
Station and to fabricate utility trailers and change axles on trucks, and install
trailer hitches and the present zoning classification does not allow these things.
Mr. Dwyer was present to speak in favor of the rezoning and said he felt that
the present zoning is less restrictive than GC -2 and did not feel the proposed
use was out of character for the area.
Present to speak in opposition to the rezoning were: John England, Grant
Haines and Chuck Leist, all residents of the surrounding area. They were
opposed because they feel it would generate more traffic and bring large
trucks in a heighborhood where children live and play. Adjacent property
owners were also afraid the business would use Grandview Ave. as a shortcut
rather than use the 25th St. entrance.
After discussion, Mr. Morris moved to recommend the rezoning, providing the
property be placed on the tax roll, which Mr. England had agreed to earlier.
Mr. Barks seconded. Motion carried with a vote of four in favor and three in
opposition.

The next Public Hearing was to consider amending the Zoning Ordinance as
follows: Ord. 1097, Appendix A, Article V, Sec. 9, GC -2 General Commercial
District, Paragraph B. Conditional Use Permitted: Add: "(10) Enclosed
Firing Range, subject to adequate safeguards and regulations."
Mr. Morris moved to recommend the change. Mr. Barks seconded. Motion carried.
The next item for discussion was a Public Hearing to consider the Conditional
Use of a Memory Garden for the interment of ashes, to be located at 401 Park
Avenue (Holy Cross Episcopal Church) in the RMOI zoned district, represented
by Father Soper and Robert M. Anderson.
There was a letter from the City Attorney at the request of Miss Rogers, de-
fining Cemetery and said in his opinion, the request would be neither a per-
mitted use.nor a conditional use and so could not be considered by the Planning
and Zoning Commission.
Father Soper said he does not feel the Memory Garden as they propose, falls
within the "Cemetery" definition. After discussion Mr. Barks suggested they
get in touch with some other City Attorneys and present some alternatives to
the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Morris moved to deny, based on the
City Attorney's opinion. Mrs. Roberts seconded. Motion carried, six to one.
The next item was a Public Hearing to consider a Conditional Use of a Flea
Market for vehicles, "The People's Auto Exchange ", to be located at 3760
Orlando Drive in the Movieland Drive -In Theatre, represented by Diana L.
Jarrett. She said the plan is to rent a space to display vehicles for sale,
at a fee of $7.00 per space with hours from 8:30 A.M. to 4 :30 P.M. on Saturday
and Sunday only with no cars parked along the highway and no walk -ins.
After discussion, Mr. Barks moved to approve with the stipulation that the
stipulations of the Zoning Inspector be adhered to and no cars parked along
the highway and no walk -in traffic. Mr. Davidson seconded. Motion carried.
The next item for consideration was a site plan and change of use from a real
estate office to a Day Care Center to be located at 3765 Orlando Drive, in the
GC -2 zoned district, represented by Jayne L. Dietzman.
She said they hope to accommodate 50 -60 children, with a staff of about ten
people, at full capacity. The play area will be completely fenced.
Mr. Franklin moved to approve. Mrs. Roberts seconded. Motion carried.
The next item for consideration was a site plan of three (3) duplexes to be
located at 2530, 2532 and 2534 Sanford Avenue in the RC -1 zoned district,
