Franklin Robert Karns Kirby Moncrief Rudy Sloan Victor Gischler Al Payne, Building Inspector Bill Braceland, Building Official David Farr, City Planner Mack LaZenby, City Engineer The meeting was called to order by the Chairman. The first order of business was a public hearing to consider the request of Mr. William Morgan, property owner, to rezone from SR -lAA, Single - Family Residential District, to MR -2, Multiple- Family Residen- tial Dwelling District, that property described as: Commencing 75 N 801 feet E of SW corner Government Lot 3, Section 10, Township 20 S, Range 30 E, run N 417.42 feet, E 417.42 feet, S 417.42 feet, W 417.42 feet to POB, Seminole County Florida. Being more generally described as located opposite the Park Ridge Subdivision on the north side of Lake Mary Boulevard, and east of Arch Lane. The Chairman asked if anyone were present to speak either for, or against, this change in zoning, and no one appeared. After determining that on the abutting property to the northeast there were duplex homes, directly on the north there were single - family and duplex homes, and on the west there were single- family homes, the consensus was that SR -1 would be more compatible zoning for this recently annexed property. After consideration, Mr. Karns moved to deny the request for a recommendation of MR -2 District, and to recommend to the City Commis- sion the rezoning of the previously described part of Government Lot 3 in Section 10, Township 20S, Range 30E, from SR -IAA, Single - Family Planning and Zoning Commission June 20, 1974 Page 2 Residential District, to that of SR -1, Single - Family Residential Dwelling District. The motion was seconded by Mr. Davis and was carried. Consideration was next given to a site plan for a 58,280 square foot addition to the Zayre shopping center at the northwest corner of Airport Boulevard and US 17 -92, which was presented by Mr. Frank Hucks, of W. Brooks and Associates, the general contractor for Kimco Corpora- tion, owner - developer of the shopping center. After a discussion of the poor appearance of the Zayre shopping center, which was developed before the Planning and Zoning Commission had site plan approval, Mr. Hucks said that Kimco would clean up the perimeter area of the parking lot, seed, and maintain it. After further discussion, Mr. Hucks agreed that Kimco Corporation will provide landscaping to include ground cover around the perimeter of the parking lot and some trees, and to submit a landscaping plan to the board. On the motion of Mr. Franklin, seconded by Mr. Sloan and carried, the site plan for an addition to the Zayre shopping center was approved contingent upon landscaping plan approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the landscaping be completed according to this plan before the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Consideration was next given to rezoning of annexed property in Park View Addition, south of 28th Street, between Magnolia and Palmetto Avenue. The consensus was that the zoning should remain the same until a request for rezoning is made by property owners. Mr. Bill Blackwelder of Palmer Electric Company, Winter Park, next appeared to request approval of a conditional use in RC -1 District for a ground sign for the 7 -11 Store on Country Club Road. Mr. Black- welder told the board that the front of the store had been remodeled and they wish to replace the existing non - conforming sign which is located at the ridge of the right -of -way. They propose to place an 80 square foot ground sign, overall height of 24 feet, 5k feet from the right -of -way. After consideration, Mr. Berrien moved to approve the ground sign as a conditional use in RC -1 District at the 7 -11 Store on Country Club Road. The motion was secondeq by Mr. Moncrief and was carried. Mr. Gerald Sile, 2041 Dyan Way, Maitland, and Mr. Roy Smith, 2887 S. Osceola, Orlando, next appeared to get the opinion of the board on rezoning, after annexation, of approximately seven acres of property on Airport Boulevard in the vicinity of the main gate of the Planning and Zoning Commission June 20, 1974 Page 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - -- Sanford Airport. They wanted to know if it would be feasible for them to request zoning for light industry. The Chairman told Mr. Sile and Mr. Smith that after the City Planner had checked the property and reported his ideas to the board, they would be contacted. A discussion was next held on the need for amending the Zoning Ordinance to provide for condominium construction. The City Planner submitted some suggested guide lines and standards to govern townhouses and cluster homes, which he recommended be added to the Zoning Ordinance in MR -1 District under density controls. He felt there really was not a need for condominiums in the ordinance because condominium is not a description or design, but a type of ownership. A Mini -PUD zone was brought up as a possible solution for condo- minium construction. The City Planner suggested it would be preferable to reduce the 100 acre limit on the existing PUD and put some additional restrictions on it. He told the board that a lot of Florida cities and counties have now taken out restrictions on the size of a PUD, except where there is a mixture of uses. The City Planner was asked to check with adjoining counties to see how successful this was, and further discussion was tabled until the next meeting. The Chairman next asked the Building Official to ask the City Manager to inquire of the City Attorney if there were some way that development costs could be waived if someone is going to build houses below a certain cost, and still have it legal to collect development costs from the rest of the people. After the City Planner informed the board that it was necessary to formally adopt as a guideline the Development Guidelines in order to satisfy the requirements of the Workable Program, the following resolution was passed and adopted on the motion of Mr. Karns, which was seconded by Mr. Berrien and was carried.
