Franklin Jeff Davis Others Present: Bill Braceland, Building Official Mack LaZenby, City Engineer Dave Farr, City Planner The meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 8 :00 P. M The first item on the agenda was a Public Hearing to consider rezoning the NE corner of Holly Ave. and W. 25th St., Lots 1, 2 and 3, Dreamwold, 3rd Section, from RMOI to RC -1, for a Cumberland Farms convenience store and self serve gasoline. Mr. William Selig was present to speak in favor of the request. Present to speak in opposition was Mrs. Augusto, 614 Sarita St., who offered the following letter in opposition: July 1, 1976 - To The Planning and Zoning Commission: "We, the property owners and citizens of Sanford, are opposed to the rezoning of property described as Lots 1, 2, 3 Blk 13, Dreamwold, 3rd Section, being more generally described as located at the NE corner of Holly and 25th St. for a convenience store and self service gasoline. We have enough traffic congestion as it is with Winn - Dixie, Handy Food Store and 3 gas stations within a block. At :times the traffic is lined up from 17 -92 to Holly Ave. and cars have a lot of trouble getting out of Winn Dixie driveway and it's almost impossible to get out of the Handy Food Store driveway. Three service stations within a block away is adequate to fulfill the needs, therefore, we don't feel we need another, therefore, we who have signed below are opposed to this zoning change. We are unable to attend meeting because of illness or other commitments." Signed: Mrs. Mary Swankhous -25th St.: Mr. J. C. Williams: Mrs. Ernest Stevens: Clemence Leonard, 25th St.: Mrs. Nobles, Sarita tt.,: A.J. Chalfin, Sarita St.: Nadine W. Chalfin, Sarita St. MINUTES - Planning & Zoning Commission- July 1, 1976 Page 2 The Board felt that RC -1 zoned district is primarily to provide neighborhood commercial where the services are needed, and due to existing services and the potential increase in traffic hazards, denial was recommended. Mr. Sloan moved to deny, Mr. Galloway seconded. Motion carried. The minutes of the last meeting were approved as mailed. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
