The Chairman called the meeting to order.
The first item of business was the feasibility request
for a "conditional use" in the R -lA zoning on the northwest
corner of the intersection of 24th Street and Holly Avenue
for the new construction of a church, namely Church of the
Nazarene and represented by Everett A. Harper, Realtor.
The property is presently the estate of John D. Woodruff.
The request was also represented by the minister of said church,
Rev. William D. Norris. Mr. Harper outlined that the church
trustees are contemplating the purchase of a 2k acre plot or an
average of 330 x 330 feet of land. Construction plans had
been drawn and were submitted at this time for the review of
the Board.
After consideration, Mr. Conklin moved that the matter
be officially handled by setting a Public Hearing to further
consider same on the date of November 20, 1969, and that property
owners within 300 feet of said property be mailed individual
notices of said hearing in addition to a notice of said hearing

being published in the local newspaper. Seconded by W. Karns
and carried.
It was requested that the plans be submitted to the Building
Official, prior to said hearing, to be checked and verified for
sufficient off- street parking spaces as required under the respective
ordinance.
A. B. (Tommie) Peterson, Jr., Chairman, Scenic Improvement
Board, was present to represent a letter submitted to the City
Commission outlining that by unanimous vote of the respective
beautification board it was requested that the existing zoning
of M -1, Light Industrial, be reviewed for that area of the
Lake Monroe Industrial Park and adjacent areas being generally
encompassed by Fulton Street on the south, Seminole Boulevard
on the north, Mangoustine Avenue on the west and French Avenue
on the east, as to being in the best interest of the City.
Mr. Peterson outlined the reason for the recommendation
being that the trend in the particular area seems to lean toward
commercial; the Sanford Airport is in operation now and the
Port Authority is presently under construction which should take
some pressure off of the lakefront area relating to industrial
development. He stated that the SIB would not recommend
whether it be commercial or residential as they would leave this
up to the judgment of the Zoning Board.
After discussion, Mr. Harris moved that a Public Hearing
be set for the date of November 20, 1969, to given consideration
to rezoning from M -1 to C -2 (General Commercial) that area from
Fulton Street north to the lakefront and from French Avenue west
to the City Limits. Seconded by Mr. White and carried.
Considered next was name suggestions for submission to
the City Commission for the appointment of two members to the
Zoning and Planning Commission due to the vacancies created by
the resignation of Phillip H. Logan and John Daniels, Jr.
The following names were suggested:
Edward L. Blacksheare
James R. Dycus
Charles H. Tetenbaum
Dr, Vann Parker
Charles Arnold
David N. Berrien

would get together for a preliminary study of same prior to a
full board discussion . It was the consensus of opinion from
the joint meeting on September 17th, with the county zoning board,
that a separate board to implement airport zoning would not be
required.
The City Planner then proceeded to discuss the specifications
and design criteria received from the State Road Department (now
re -named the "Department of Transportation ") relative to their
requirements for the landscaping of the interstate interchanges
and medians in that the Planner felt that these interstate
entrances and exits, being like a front door of the community,
should be made attractive in the way of beautification.
Basically the SRD will permit the respective city to do land-
scaping pretty much to their liking upon following the depart-
ment's guidelines and the city providing the maintenance.
The department does specify that the respective city must
irrigate and must have a central sprinkling system with the
department controlling the type of foliage that is placed in
the ground and the location of it.
After discussion, Mr. Harris moved that it be recommended
to the Scenic Improvement Board they said board attempt to include
in their beautification plans the beautification of the omits
and -or entrances of the Interstate system of the City of Sanford.
Seconded by Mr. White and carried. (referring specifically
to Interstate 4).
The meeting was then turned over to the Planner. Mr. Dake
made a presentation of maps relating to long range proposals as
made by the Tri- County Regional Planning Board wherein out of their
overall plans he had taken out the sections as it relates to
Sanford and ndd&- it applicable to land uses as follows:
High density - residential
Low " "
Medium " It
Lake Monroe Park
Sanford Air Industrial Park
Industrial
Commercial
Lake Mary Parkway
Agriculture
(all of the above extending outside the City limits into
the fringe areas)
and a lengthy discussion was given to same.
The Planner stated that the Board needs to have some
"work shop" sessions outside and separate from the regular
business meetings.

Due to the great number of meetings held by the respective
council, it was felt that Mr. Harlan Hanson, Planning Director,
Orange - Seminole - Osceola Joint Planning Council, should be re-
quested to send notices of all their meetings to the City Hall,
c/o City Manager's Office, in order that the material can be
screened to see what items would be of direct interest to the
City with the possibility that a Z &P member could attend to
keep the.memaining board members abreast of current happenings
or studies being conducted for the tri- county areas.
Mr. Conklin stated that possibly he could attend the meetings.
A discussion was next held with the Building Official
regarding the off - street parking plan compromise for the
new commercial construction of Lum's Restaurant, 2508 French
Avenue; area where French Avenue intersects with Sarita and
Osceola street in the Dreamwold area south of 25th Street;
with the off - street parking allowed on the lots abutting and
in the residential zoning (as allowed in the Zoning Ordinance)
being as follows:
Requirement of 6k foot concrete block fence
to be placed on /or near the common south
boundary property line of Lot 21, Block 14,
Dreamwold Sec., and to extend to within 25
feet of Osceola Drive right -of -way; the
fence to then decrease to a height of 5
feet to the first driveway.
