The meeting was called to order by Arthur Harris,
who introduced the first item on,the agenda, the
New Plat for Lake Mary Estates. Known as the
Jackman and Nicholson Property, it is located
North of Lake Mary Boulevard and East of the A.CL
Railroad. Chairman Harris, considering the
fact that the plat was not what the Commission
had previously approved, and did not contain a
park area, recommended that the City Engineer
send the plat back until these changes have been
made.
The next item of business was with Drefus Inter -
State Development representative Mr. Reddington
who presented a previously shown land plan for
Carriage Cove. This project will be located
South of Airport Blvd., East of 17 -92, and
North of the Old Orlando Highway. Mr. Reddington's
approved Mobile Home Park will consist of approx-
imately 87 acres, 85k of which will contain
Mobile Homes, with 1k acres in community develop-
ment. There will be 460 lots, density being 5.4
per acre.

Eighty -five (85) percent of the lots will have
a frontage, with a typical lot size being 45'x 85.'
Sites will be rented. Eight (8) acres will be
reserved for recreation, and 3.8 acres will suffice
for a major community center. He explained there
will be a mound buffer between Carriage Cove and
the existing trailer park to the south. A minimum
of a 25' buffer will be maintained around the
entire park. Chairman Harris questioned the
access point from the north for fire - trucks, etc.,
which would need a roadway. It was explained
by Mr. Reddington that 2 exits would be provided.
The Chairman suggested a 50' right -of -way in
place of the proposed 45' right -of -way. Gerald
Dake noted it was very important for a sidewalk
to be provided from the park and recreation area
to the street and site areas.
When questioned about the radius of culdesacs in
this project, Mr. Reddington explained "his"
culdesacs are 25' in radius and are quite ample.
Another question posed by Gerald Dake was in
reference to refuse and the placing of garbage
cans. Mr. Reddington noted that each trailer
would have its own garbage cans, with bins being
possibly placed along a wooded area of the
project.
Gerald Dake suggested it be marked on the final
plat that the woods will remain for open space.
All members of the Commission agreed that the
preliminary site plan was of a good nature, and
that December 7th would be the final approval
if all plans were submitted and approved. The
Commission asked that an over -all drainage plan,
showing water distribution and all phases of
development be submitted.
The third item of business was a plot plan presented
by Garnett White. This building would be located
on Commercial Avenue, between Laurel Avenue and
French Avenue. The building would contain 3,000
square feet and would be of a service nature.

This property will be in. proposed SC -3 zoning. No
site plan was presented at this time, and Chairman
Harris explained all plans require a site plan.
In reply to Gerald Dake's question about parking,
Mr. White stated one space per each 200 square
feet of office area would be provided. Chairman
Harris recommended he draw up his site plan and
present it to the Commission.
Mr. Vernon Mize was present with drawings of his
proposed 41 acre condominium complex to be located
on the South shore of Lake Minnie. He explained
the City has not annexed this property as yet,
but that the date for the public hearing was set
for the 27th of this month. Mr. Mize would like
this property zoned MR -1. After a brief discussion,
it was moved by Victor Gischler and seconded by
Rudy Sloan, to recommend to the City Commission
that this property be zoned MR -1. The Commission
recommended to Mr. Mize that he either have a
nice buffer or a row of single story units along
the rear of this project, which abuts a single
family residential districts.
Downtown Fire Districts was the next topic for
discussion. Mr. Lin Risner, Zoning Official,
stated that in the proposed SC -3 zone there are
no density limitations and suggested that the
Commission consider a fire district for this
particular area. Mr. Risner was asked to submit
specific plans for Fire Districts at the next
regular scheduled meeting, December 7.
Gerald Dake explained a change on Page 25 of the
New Zoning Ordinance, Article 4, "Density Controls,"
Article 2 (a), be changed as follows:
3,750 square feet be changed to 2,500 square
feet to coincide with MR -2 requirements.

The City Commission has asked that the Planning
and Zoning Commission enlarge its study of annex-
ation so as to provide an in depth schedule of
annexation and the providing of services to the
areas of Ravenna Park, Locharbor, Lake Mary, Tee
and Green, etc. City Manager W.E. Knowles, ex-
plained that Lake Mary Residents have spoken
to the Mayor and asked if they could be annexed
and if so, how soon, and how long before public
services could be rendered to this area.
The Commission has asked that the City Engineer
and Zoning Official prepare some information for
review and study, and called a special meeting
of the same at 7 O'clock, November 30, 1972,
that they might set up time tables, cost lists,
etc. An application blank to use with the
Development Site Plan and criteria to refer to
for Site Plan Approval will also be discussed
at this time.
There being no further business, the meeting
was adjourned.
