City Commission Room City Hall Members Present: Arthur Harris, Chairman David Berrien James Rowe Jeff Davis Bert Hollingsworth Members Absent: B. C. Conklin Edward Blacksheare James Dycus Robert Karns Others Present: L. J. Risner, Building Official W. E. Knowles, City Manager Gerald Dake, City Planner r0 k The meeting was called to order by the Chairman. Due to the absence of Mr. Darwin Nutt, developer of Washington Oaks Subdivision, the planned discussion regarding the subdivision drainage was tabled until such time as Mr. Nutt could be present. Discussion of the Subdivision Regulations, Section 104: Definitions, Number 2 - Subdivision - was considered and it was the concensus of the committee that a developer or builder could build an unlimited number of buildings on unpaved streets without being required to pave the streets if the area had been subdivided and platted previously, deeming this section of the Ordinance to apply only to new subdivision. Z & P Meeting March 18, 1971 Page 2 Consideration of further street paving was discussed and it was again noted that the drainage program should be entered into before any paving could be done. A question arose as to whether or not a bond issue should be brought up at this time and the City Manager was asked to comment. He cited a need to review the Capital Improvements as drawn up by the City Planner and to establish priority, based on need, for these projects. He advised the members of many things that are needed now in addition to paving and drainage such as a Security Complex, Sewage Treatment Plant and countless others and that the money was not there to undertake these projects. He pointed out that 507.of the property within the City of Sanford is not taxable, therefore, imposing higher taxes on the residential home owner and in his opinion the people were not going to vote any more tax upon themselves. It was suggested by the City Planner that we take no action at this time on the bond issue and after completion of our Plan the street paving project would be discussed again. A proposal submitted by Gerald Dake Associates to update the City Zoning Ordinance as outlined in his letter of January 22, 1971 for a maximum sum of $3,500 including the sign ordinance, was next taken into consideration and on motion of Mr. Rowe it was moved that the Zoning and Planning Commission recommend to the City Commission that the proposal be accepted and that we continue the existing contract between the City of Sanford and the Gerald Dake Associates and that money be set aside in the corning budget to provide for both of these. Seconded by Mr. Berrien and carried with a unanimous vote. The Sign Sub - Committee presented each member with the proposed Sign Ordinance and a copy of the changes as recommended by the sub - committee. Since there was not a full board in attendance it was decided that the Ordinance would be studied at the next meeting so that each member would have a chance to review it. Recertification of the Workable Program was discussed and the Building Official informed the Board that the various codes had been presented to the City Commission for adoption and at the present time he was working on the Condemnation Program. The City Planner will complete his portion of the work within the next week and then.he and the Building Official will compile the needed information for submission to HUD no later than May 1, 1971. _.
