RiChard, Director of Utilities /Acting City Mgr. 0. Sam Ackley, Assistant to City Manager David Farr, City Planner The special meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Arthur Harris. The purpose of the meeting was to consider a conditional use for a public use in a RC -1 Zoned District for the State of Florida Driver's License Agency at the S.E. corner of Yale Ave. and E. 25th St. It was explained by the Chairman that the meeting was called because of the City Attorney's ruling that the Driver's License Bureau is a conditional use in this zone, as a public use, and one of the problems is that the parking is inadequate. Mr. Rex Collier, of the Driver's License to speak in favor of the request. He explain space is too small and the lease is expiring, already leased to new tenants as of June 9th. Bureau will employ three people who will have on an average day about seven customers would spaces. Bureau, was present ad that the present and the office is The Driver's License their own autos, and require 7 additional Mr. Mel Silverman and Mr. Phil Zeuli were present for discussion, as owners of the property. The other tenants of the building are: a Ceramic Shop, re- quiring 4 spaces; a four -chair Beauty Salon, requiring 6 spaces; MINUTES - Planning & Zoning Commission - May 22, 1975 Page 2 a Day -Care Center, requiring 2 spaces. Mr. Sraceland explained that the use change from "offices" to "commercial" creates a re- quirement of 22 spaces, and there are only 16 spaces available, so it does not meet the criteria of the original plan. Mr. Collier, when asked if he felt the present conditions would be adequate, said they would be, for the time being. Discussion revealed that there is no additional land available at the present time to pro- vide the necessary parking space. Mr. Collier stated that the site had been approved by the Special Services Commission, and the expiration of the lease makes it necessary to relocate by the first of the month and time does not permit looking for another location. The people of Sanford may possibly have to go to another County to renew their Driver's License if they are not able to use the proposed location. Mr. Harris recessed the meeting in order to consult with the City Attorney by phone. The meeting reconvened and Mr. Harris said the matter could be resolved one of three ways. Approval on condition that parking spaces are made available; request the City to withold Certificate of Occupancy on one of the other bus- inesses until parking requirement is met; deny the request. Mr. Davis moved to deny the request because of the lack of parking space. Mr. Royster seconded the motion. Motion carried by unanimous vote. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Arthur Harris, Chairman
