Risner, Zoning Official Gerald Dake, City Planner Gordon Meyer, City Commissioner The meeting was called to order by the Chairman. Mr. Donald Biddle presented a site plan for a McDonald's Restaurant on the west side of Highway 17 -92, north of Airport Boulevard. A discussion followed which revealed the need for keeping curb cuts down to a minimum at the highway and a landscaping plan for along the highway and northern and southern property lines. After discussion of a possible heed for a deceleration lane on the west side of 17 -92 for entrance, it was the opinion of the board that the City should ask the State for no parking signs posted on that side of the street. Mr. Biddle agreed to place a sign indicating right turn only at the south exit and to more landscaping. After discussion, the board approved the Site Plan. The board next reviewed a preliminary plan for expansion of Shenandoah Village, located on 17 -92 South, which was submitted by Mr. Harold Fues. Mr. Gerald Dake expressed the opinion that the overall plan was poor. Mr. Karns suggested that Mr. Fues be informed that the state require- ments call for 1,100 feet for deceleration and eeceleration lanes. It was brought out in discussion that City regula- tions require A acres of open space for the proposed amount of dwelling units proposed. The consensus of the board was Planning and Zoning Commission February 1, 1973 Page 2 that this plan did not comply with City requirements. A revised master plan for the development of the Carriage Cove mobile home park and the Americana apartment complex was next reviewed. Mr. Donald Gibbs, representing Dreyfus Corporation, was present. Mr. Gibbs agreed to the provision of pedestrian walkways along dedicated right of ways and roads as indicated on the master plan, and to redesign parking space on the west perimeter road of the Americana complex. After discussion, the revised Master Planned Unit Development, Plan 72 -3, was approved with the stipulation that no certificates of occupancy would be issued on the first phase until water system is looped and tied in at Sunland Estates and Highway 17 -92; on the motion of Mr. Davis, second of Mr. Sloan, and carried by unanimous vote. A site plan for the Masters Cove apartment complex, located west of Seminole High School with frontage on Resevoir Lake, was next presented by developer Mr. Frank Beal for considera- tion. After review of the site plan, on the motion of Mr. Franklin, seconded by Mr. Davis, the site plan was approved with the stipulation that the access road be paved to the site. The motion was carried by mi unanimous vote. Consideration of a request by Wilco Construction Company to vacate Terrace Drive, a platted but non existent street in Genev& Terrace subdivision. The developer proposed to build apartments. It was brought out in discussion that, after public hearing, a plan for construction of duplexes had previously been approved for this area. On motion of Mr. Karns, seconded by Mr. Sloan and carried, it was recom- mended that this street should not be vacated and the devel- oper held to the original site plan. The next item for consideration was the request by the con- tractor for a building permit for construction of a Juvenile Detention Facility on Seminole County property, which was recently annexed and zoned MR -1 Multiple Family. It was the opinion of the board that this facility could be interpreted as being a school of instruction and thus be a conforming use in an MR -1 zone. Public Hearings for February 15, 1973, were next set as follows: 1. Rezoning from SR -1 Single Family to that of MR -2 Multiple Family that property described Planning and Zoning Commission February 1, 1973 Page 3 as Lots 1 through 18 and Lots 28 through 33, Block 2, Palm Terrace; Lots 1 through 15, Block 4, Palm Terrace. 2. Rezoning from MR -1 Multiple Family to that of GC -2 General Commercial that property described as Lots 47 and 48, Parkview Subdivision. A discussion was next held regarding a memo from the City Manager asking for a policy to be followed if a building is constructed with parking space provided and at a later date new owners might decide parking is not needed for their use and should sell off the parking lot. What would the policy be regarding future sue of such a building if a change may require this parking space or more. The opinion of the board was, if a building use changes, the new use would be required to meet minimum off street parking requirements. The Zoning Official reported that the new zoning ordinance had placed a number of uses in non - conforming classifications and a number of existing buildings which are not designed for RMOI zoning uses. Owners of existing vacant buildings are concerned about not being albe to sell for business uses. After discussion, the board decided that if an owner has a potential sale of one his buildings on West First Street and not permitted use in WOI that the Zoning Official present it to the Planning and Zoning Commission for study and recommendation. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Arthur H. Harris, Chairman
