regarding Section 2A - Conditional Uses in a C -1 Zone. Seconded
by Jeff Davis. Voting was unanimous.
After completion of the amendment by the City Commission, it would
then be necessary for Mr. Britt to come before the Board with a
formal request for conditional use in the C -1 zone, and at that
time the Board would take his request into consideration.
Mr. J. S. Cleveland presented a detailed map and a zoning ordinance
for the Sanford Airport for consideration of the Board. He explained
that the zoning ordinance had been approved by FAA and as far as
could be determined would provide effective control of the area.
It was noted that both the City and County would have to adopt the
same zoning ordinance because of height restrictions that would
apply within a designated area surrounding the airport.
Mr. Bob Karns after quite a lengthy disaussion moved that it be
recommended to the City Commission that they adopt the Airport
Ordinance and the Map as submitted. Seconded by Mr. Dycus with
unanimous vote by the members.
In consideration of a request submitted by B. R. Beck, for rezoning
of the property located at the NW corner of 25th Street and Laurel
Ave. Lots 45,46,47 and 48, Beck's Addition from an R -1A zone to
a C -1, it was moved by Mr. Conklin that a public hearing be held on
Januury 15, 1970, seconded by Garnet White and voted unanimously.
After discussion regarding the fact that the next regular meeting
date would fall on January 1, 1970, it was decided by unanimous

Z & P Commission Minutes

A discussion was held next on the Planned Unit Development project
that had been mentioned at a prior meeting. This development would
allow both residential and commercial buildings within the same
area but under a controlled system. After discussion Mr. Dake
suggested that a PUD Committee be appointed to study this program
and how best to implement it for this area. It was also suggested
that the committee have a report on February 5, 1970 to present
to the members. The following were appointed to the committee:
Garnett White, Cal Conklin, Jeff Davis, L. J. Risner and
Gerald Dake.
Following this discussion, Mr. Dake gave a report on the Urban
Renewal Program which had appeared on the December ballot to be
voted on by the people of Sanford. The people showed their
approval by voting for Urban Renewal. Mr. Dake suggested that
a recommendation be made to the City Commission that we proceed
in obtaining an application for Urban Renewal Planning Grant and
contact Mr. Russell Jacobson to assist in the submission of the
grant. It was so moved by Mr. Arthur Harris, seconded by Jeff
Davis and carried with a unanimous vote.
It was brought to the attention of the committee that the modular
homes were going to become something of a problem within the next
few years and it was going to need discussion and thought in the
near future. The Building Official had received some inquiries
from out of town companies regarding this type of home.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
