Mr. Brown showed plans relating to the concept of where development
will occur and the type of development planned for the respective
area in Seminole County. Mr. Brown pointed out the newly adopted
Seminole County Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Hanson showed the projected Highway System Plan and pointed out
in particular their planning for basic arterial street that will
serve the Sanford area.
Mr. Dake stated that Sanford has very little knowledge of the County
and Tri- County plans and asked for answers as to the approach for the
City to be kept abreast. Mr. Hanson informed that the State Rca d
Department has recommended that those cities of 5,000 population be
invited to appoint a representative to the Tri - County's Policy Board.
It was suggested as a solution that the following suggestions could
be implemented for better coordination: a) Exchange of minutes of
the Planning Commissions; development of a newsletter by the respective
board outlining key topics; and that a,joint meeting of the boards
be held quarterly; an alternating city liason board member appointed
to attend the county and tri- county meetings regarding key topics.
J. S. Cleveland, Sanford Airport Manager, presented a proposed airport
zoning plan with a recommendation that a five member Sanford - Seminole
Airport Zoning Board be - created with application to control of
aviation hazards, height limitations and zoning relating to runways
and /or approach zones to the Sanford Airport, where in the flight areas
are over city and county for approximately 10 miles at changing heights
in the four approaches complicate the matter and create a longer waiting
period for construction permits, and that each respective board handle
that portion affected by either city or county. City Planner Dake stated
that the airport zoning plan should be adopted, but consideration would
be given to either incorporating a separate board with the present
Zoning and Planning Board or incorporation the Airport Zoning Plan
within the City's Zoning Plan.
Discussion was next given to community appearances. Mr. Hanson outlined
their present long range beautification study with the City of Sanford
under a special contract for a 5 year beautification plan. Mr. Hanson
recommended that all beautification recommendations be forwarded to
the City of Sanford's Scenic Improvement Board.
Mr. Dake encouraged thoughts be given to provision for acquiring open
sapce in subdivision regulations.

Discussion was given to landscaping of the State Highway inter-
changes and the medians, relating to entrances into the Sanford
area. Mr. White, Tri- County, outlined that the State Road
Department feels that landscaping is an interference and a
traffic hazard, and are presently discouraging the planting of
palm trees for beautification on interstate highways, and are
not setting aside any monies for highway interchange beautification.
State Road Department has another worry about highway beautification
and that is "who will maintain ? ".
Discussion of capital improvements, relating to water and sewer
program county -wide was the next topic and it was felt that all
of the small individual packaged utility plants scattered throughout
the west and southwest of the City, and in order to have a con-
centrated growth, should be coordinated in an overall program
for the future with possibility of the City of Sanford serving
these areas from a central utility area and possibly creating
a special utility district. Mr. Brown reflected that the County
will not accept a plat of over twenty five homes in a subdivision
unless the contractor can assure the furnishing of sewer. Mr
Hanson felt that density development is going to demand utility
regulations, and suggested that they be implemented on the local
level and that the matter should be approached and the Board
thinking about it.
The meeting closed with Mr. Hanson stating that Tri- County has
no unit of government that they can report to for the adoption
of their work, but that his group would be most cooperative to
submit a specific policy recommendation to allow a joint discussion
and /or view to it.
There being no further discussion, the meeting adjourned.
