R. Trafford's Map of Sanford. Mr. William Chamberlain, representing Mrs. Lois Huffman, the applicant, explained that there was a definite commitment for purchase of the property by a Mr. Brown of Southern Line Clean- ing Company, pending on the rezoning. Mr. Brown proposed to use the existing building, formerly an automobile agency, as a Planning & Zoning Commission March 1, 1973 i Page 2 st6tage building for equipment. Those appearing in opposition.to the rezoning were Mr. Armstrong of Orlando, owner of property at 1407 West First Street, and Mrs. J. E. Baker, 1500 West First Street. Mr. Armstrong felt that the change in zoning would decrease the value of surrounding property. Mrs. Baker objected to the rezoning for the same reason and also on the basis that the proposed use of the property would create noise and pollution. After discussion, Mr. Logan made the motion to recommend to the City Commission the rezoning from RMOT to that of G -2 for all of Block 3, Tier 18, E. R. Trafford's Map of Sanford. The motion was seconded by Mr. Berrien and carried, conditioned upon approval of any plan for use of the existing building. Consideration was next given a preliminary site plan for an apart- ment complex located on Seminole Boulevard and French Avenue, referred to as the 14 -acre City Landfill property. W. C. Hutchison, representing the owner, Mr. Frizell, asked the board's acceptance of the preliminary plan based on former desity requirements. Mr. Richard- 09trander, architect for the complex,was present and said he had reworked the preliminary design for the apartment complex several times and he believed this plan illustrated the best use for this particular property. After discussion and after hearing the consensus of the City Commissxbnams present that density of 19.6 units per acre would be permissible, based on previous commitment to the developers before the adoption of the present zoning ordinance, Mr. Logan made a motion to approve the preliminary plan for an apartment complex as to density and general layout. Motion was seconded by Mr. Berrien and carried. Consideration was next given a site plan for a proposed 4 -unit apartment building at 2580 South Sanford Avenue on Lots 39, 40 and 41, F. L. Woodruff's Subdivision. On motion of Mr. Sloan, second of Mr. Logan and carried, the site plan was approved with the stipulation that the Building Official be furnished with a plan for paved parking area to meet the parking requirements of the toning ordinance. Consideration was next given to a site plan submitted by Mr. Arvin Mihm, 2535 El Capitan Drive, for two duplex units as a conditional use in SR -1 (Single- Family Residential) District on Lot 18 and N 40' of Lot 19, Block 25, Dreamwold.

Capt. Williams stated that he had signed the annexation petition with the understanding that the zoning would remain commercial; but, it had been placed in MR -1 (Multiple- Family Residential) District by the adoption of Ordinance No. 1103 by the City of Sanford. Mr. Berrien made the motion to set a public hearing, with no charge to the owner, for consideration of rezoning this property to GC -2 (General Commercial) District. Motion was seconded by Mr. Black - sheare. After further discussion, it was resolved that another public hearing was not necessary, since the rezoning was the result of an administrative error. On motion of Mr. Berrien, seconded by Mr. Blacksheare and carried, the previous recommendation to the City Commission of GC -2 zoning for Nly 240 ft of Lot A, less Nly 20 ft for road, Lake Minnie Estates, was reaffirmed. Mr. John Mero, 708k Oak Avenue, next appeared before the board to make application for the rezoning of Lots 1 through 24, Bonaventure Subdivision, from SR -1 (Single - Family Residential Dwelling) District to GC -2 (General Commercial) District; and Lots 25 through 48, less Lots 37 and 38, Bonaventure Subdivision, from RC -1 (Restricted Commercial) District to GC -2 (General Commercial) District.
